Thank you j.p.s and ilovejedd.

I'm just confused about two things.
After running K5 Factory JailBreak (Factory FW) next step is applying K5 JailBreak HotFix. In Snapshots thread version is JailBreak-1.16.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip while in instructions it's 1.15.N. I'm assuming the 1.16.N is simply newer and okay to use where 1.15.N is stated.

What's best to do after applying HotFix?
Open Sesame says
--------
"Do note that leaving your device locked to the "Factory" FW version you used for this process may not be a suitable long-term solution.
Some stuff might break for no apparent reason.
Because of the downgrade restrictions, the least destructive approach would be to switch to the exact same FW version, except the "normal" one. Just go to the Amazon Software Update page for your device, fudge the download URL to point to the version you need, and install that .

As a FW update will wipe everything custom except the JB itself, you can optionally do this as early as right *after* having installed the JB Hotfix if you don't want to have to basically install your hacks twice .
On newer FW versions, we recommend using the "Helper" KUAL extension, which provides a "PREVENT OTA Updates" button that will be a little more zealous than what we did earlier, which should prevent some battery draining caused by a tad aggressive "call home" behavior from those FW versions."

---------
I've only been able to find the latest 5.13.2 on Amazon page which is aggressive and should be downloaded never.

Is the order supposed to be Jailbreak --> HotFix --> Normal FW 5.10.1.3 --> MRPI --> KUAL?

I'm normally not this dense I swear
