1) Not needed once used.
2) Try to install one of our update_*.bin name format packages.
The booklet form of KUAL will run on your device/firmware and you can try installing that (directions in Step #8).

So Kalpo has just shown that not all 5.8.9.0.1 (the one never officially released by Amazon) builds are the same -
Some (like this one from Amazon.de), can still be jailbroken.
Perhaps the ones being shipped by Amazon Mexico are also still jail breakable.
I am not going to put the 5.8.9.0.1 exceptions back into the directions.
When they where in there, they caused too much confusion because not all builds of 5.8.9.0.1 could be jail broken - - and we never figured out why.

Hmm... Does this offer a possible jailbreak path? Downgrades are blocked, but how about going sideways to a foreign release? This assumes that the foreign releases are available outside of the target area.
