The only thing that makes a jail break 'different' is the delivery vector.
The actual changes made on a touch screen device are identical.
You are in the correct place.
Translation:
You might have used a different method to install the jail break, but you installed the exact same jail break regardless of how you did it.
The above is true of all devices, all firmwares, since the K4(non-touch).
You are here, go no further, you have arrived, this thread is the current thread for touch screen devices.
Do these steps, just to be certain:
Download the package attached to this post:

Place it in the topmost level of visible USB storage -
(safely) Remove the USB cord -
Install it using UYK (this package is a sole exception to requiring MrPI to install packages).
Now re-install everything that seems to be broken.
Your first choice of packages is always from:

SUCCESS!!!
Well, I'm impress. Speechless. Not enough words in my limitated english to express my gratitude (that's not exactly true, but all the expresions that come my mind include an "f" at least).
I'll explain a little bit in order to help others in my situation:
- Jailbroken PW2, Kual installed with some apps included (basically Koreader). Updated from some unknown firmware version to 5.8.9.2. Because of the update, all the JB related stuff stopped to work.
- Not knowing if the JB survived the upgrade, I tried to reinstall Kual, etc. in order to try something.
- I followed the steps of above provided by Knc1. I got stuck with the "UYK" acronim, which I managed to know that means "Update your kindle". This is a method to install some packages which you have to do through the update option in the Kindle menu. Once figured out that, I installed the package and the kindle reboot as usual. After that, everything is working ok (Kual, Koreader, etc.), even without reinstall.
So my advice, if you think that you screwed something up, is to stay calm and begin to read (well, that's a kindle we are talking about. It's main use is for reading. Show us how well you do that) . And when you don't know what else to do, DO NOTHING. Ask to people who knows more than you, try to provide the most information possible about your screwing, and follow CAREFULLY the guidance provided.
And don't panic. Sure you are already ready to it, but don't. The nice people who help in this forum will even indicate you when to panic, so don't worry.
Many, many thanks. I'd be lost without my kindle, and its inner epub books.
Regards!
