Ah, this makes perfect sense. Thanks

If what you did to the Kindle after Step #6 did not matter, then there would have been no reason for me to have written Steps #7 and #8 is there?
To be fair the instructions at #7 say, "You can now update your kindle to a newer firmware version" not you must, but your point is well taken, in context of the instructions there's no reason to assume it's optional, my mistake.

And I do mean **follow** the directions, do not make up your own modifications to the directions.
Fortunately, I was able to get a DO_FACTORY_RESTORE file onto the device, which for some reason put me at 5.6.1.0.5 and I was able to repeat the entire jailbreak process this time. Up and running jailbroken on 5.8.9.2

I do want to thank you. I know people are usually spending their spare time on this sort of tinkering for no other reason/reward than they enjoy it. No matter how little you probably hear it amid troubleshooting for people, your time and the work is appreciated.
