If so, Amazon will block me or something like that?
The jail break is a single file, not subject to being logged.

What do you mean by "factory firmware"?
That term gets misunderstood a number of different ways.

NOTE:
What you need to do, in order:
*) Jail break the Kindle.
*) Install the "hotfix" (which among other things, makes the jail break viral - but it is a good kind of virus).
*) Install a customer firmware (avoid 5.12.anything if possible).
If you don't know how to select previous customer firmware packages on the Amazon server - ask someone here.

WHY:
*) that installs our package signature certificate, same location that Amazon uses for their package signature certificates.

*) HF - An Amazon update package will over-write our signature certificate, but the logic of the viral "hotfix" will auto-replace it when the new update package finishes.

*) Customer firmware - If you really, actually, have a "factory firmware", which has the update package name of "factory" installed from one of our servers, then you really, really should replace it with a customer-use firmware build.
(and that might also 'fix' whatever problem you must be having)
