You only need to replace the code that you wiped by pressing "reset".

Put this file at the top of visible usb storage:

Safely remove the usb cable.
Go to settings, try using the UYK (Update Your Kindle) settings entry.
If that entry is grayed out then just reboot the Kindle by a long press and hold of the power button for at least 40 seconds.

When it finishes restarting, it will be fixed.
You DO NOT have to re-install the jail break, it is still on the device!

What you do have to re-install is everything else.
ONLY the jail break is still on the device you must ALWAYS re-install everything that you have added.
Is there a equivalent hotfix for pw2 ? I had it jailbroken, but I did reset to factory defaults to install the firmware 5.8.9. I thought the jailbreak was lost, so I did install the firmware 5.8.11. It is still possible to recover the jailbreak ??
