There's instruction to use kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip (I guess) and skip steps #5 and #6 on PW-2. I would like to upgrade it to 5.8.9.2 but I don't want to lose JB on it. Is this possible without step #6 which is hotfix ?

Thanks in advance!
The name "Hotfix" is a hold-over from days long past.

The proper descriptive name for it now is:
"Jailbreak Survival Code"
These are the code and files that make the Jailbreak and itself auto-install after installing an Amazon Update package.

That is: it makes the Jailbreak (and its auto-install code) viral.
In this case, it is a friendly virus, not an evil virus that will mortgage your first born.

Once again:
the Jailbreak (and its auto-install code)
NOTHING ELSE.
The user must re-install any add-ins they are using after each and every Amazon update installation.

= = = =

The directions here and in the prior "Universal Jailbreak" (which for a PW-2 you are directed to use) are complete.
The prior "Universal Jailbreak" used a different install system (vector), it is a one step process.

Only the procedure (attack vector) is different, what ends up on your Kindle is identical.
The contents of all jailbreaks for touchscreen devices are kept the same. When one gets changed, they all get changed.

Do that one step process and return here to finish steps #7 and #8.
Your answer:
The one step process already did the equivalent of our #5 and #6.
