(1) If our signature certificate is in the proper place (same directory as Amazon's two certificates) it is jail broken.
No ifs, ands, ors, or buts - it is jail broken, the certificate is all there is to the jail break.
Once that is done, and as long as you don't do anything stupid, like let Amazon (or yourself) install an update package ...
It remains jail broken.
(2)
Which "hotfix"? Link please.
In your situation (no launcher, no search bar command), you
MUST use the one attached here:

That one has only one dependency, that our signature certificate is installed.
Put at top of visible USB storage, "safely remove" the USB cable, re-boot.
It does not have any confirmation document, but if you watch the screen very carefully, when it is done installing, it will reboot the device and during the re-start there will be an on-screen message about the 'bridge' code running.
(3) Never, ever, touch the Reset (to factory defaults) menu entry.
That will erase what you just installed in step (2).
But as long as what you just installed in step (2) is undesturbed, it is safe to do an Amazon firmware update.
Step (2) did several things:
It installed the code which auto-reinstalls both itself and the system jail break after an Amazon firmware update.
It installed the ;log mrpi and ;log runme searchbar commands.
(4) Update to the desired version of Amazon firmware - all firmwares are still on the Amazon server, just edit the version number in the URL of the current Amazon update link.
(5) Install MrPI
You only have to un-archive it to the top most, visible level of USB storage - with your un-archive tool options set to create the directory structure in the archive.
Do not let it create an initial directory based on the archive's filename.
What is contained in the archive is exactly what you are suppose to have, nothing more, nothing less.
(6) Put the KUAL booklet installation file in /mrpackages (if you don't have an /mrpackages now - you just did step (5) incorrectly).
Trigger the install with ;log mrpi in the main search bar.
(7) Try KUAL -
If it comes up but only shows a blank screen rather than a list of menu entries, follow the directions at this post (not the entire thread, the post):

That is all there is to do other than give away the device, never buy one for yourself, and never bother me here again. Never.
