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)

Ok, so here's the full story:
My kindle was presenting some issues, I asked for support at Amazon, they sent me a new kindle. I turned it on, without internet, created the folder to avoid auto-update, and put it in airplane mode. That's what I meant when I said "factory firmware", it's the 4.10.0.2 (or .3, can't remember, I'm not near it right now). And was using the blacklisted kindle normally, doing updates on it.
Today the attendant called me and said: "hey, I just saw through your logs and your kindle is in an older version, we'll need you to update it to see if your problem goes on" then I said "oh, I've updated it, but the problem continues" because that's what I did with the blacklisted one. Then she said: "are you with your kindle nearby? we'll need you to do some procedures in order to sync with us, because it is still showing that you're outdated".
So, supposing I do the JB, then update it to 5.12.1, what's the possible outcomes?
1. I'll lose the JB, if so, will I be able to JB it again? I don't think so, right?
2. It will brick, if so, will Amazon help me with that?
