Also, should be registred, and ad free, or doesn't matter?

Manually down load 5.9.6.1 and update your Kindle to that version.

Then follow directions for 5.9.6.1 in the thread you linked to.

Being registered and ad-free only matters if you have to recover from a bad firmware update.
So it is your own choice.
Since your device is now out of warranty (for a free exchange if bricked) ...
