I just updated my jailbroken pw3 to 5.9.2, and i get "Application Error - The selected application could not be started. Please Try again" as i click on KUAL

Jailbreak had survived many updates, last a few weeks ago to 5.8.11 but now I'm not able to run kual so I suppose there's an issue with 5.9.2 removing/disabling the jailbreak. Kindle works fine, but i'd like to have my screensavers hack back.

i tried to run https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...68&postcount=4
and after an "update was successful" the reboot stopped on the "boy under the tree" screen "please wait a moment while you kindle is restarting".

So I went from a working un-jailbroken kindle to a bricked one.

holding the power button for about 15 seconds reboots to a diagnostic mode, where It can be usb mounted, and accessed. All docs seem to be present. Kindle is recognized and mounted under windows.

so maybe all I need is to manually remove Coplate's package to reboot back to the non-jailbroken kindle state.

Or maybe I could just try to disable diagnostics and reboot. But I'm not confident with this MUSCAT_WFO - System Diags mode. A simple reboot without disabling diags first brings me back here. And I don't dare to disable diags because I'm not sure if holding the power button will bring me back again to this mode.

Can anyone give a suggestion here?

UPDATE:
I found a way out. After reading the diags logs (No update*.bin found; no update needed.) i decided to choose USB export and place the update*.bin on the root and then, keeping usb connected ejected kindle and choose from diags just to reboot. That did the magic and started a 'regular' software update. That booted back to Boy Under the Tree, then to diags, where i disabled diags, disconnected the kindle and rebooted.

now I have my kindle back, working again. With all my files and docs. So I'm back to start. Why did my jailbreak did not survive, and how can I get it again?
