I think this can be made more clear at the start of the thread. The text reads:

"If your firmware is not on this list...It's higher than 5.13.3: Your device is not supported by this jailbreak."

I recommend the copy read:

I had my PW3 device running 15.13.3 and was successful in putting it into airplane mode, then running the updated jailbreak and installing MRPI and KUAL. I tested a few extensions from the snapshots thread successfully.
I also installed the
Rescue pack.
Despite the red copy in the initial post, in following the instructions
in this post, "Making sure your JB survives updates" I mistook this step as actually blocking OTA updates of the OS.
The reason I thought this is there are so many different points of reference that I presumed that the specific purpose of this step was to disable OTA. It references that Airplane mode is the only known way to prevent "being screwed" though I read that passage as to "while performing this step" rather than
forever while using this jailbreak until the methods in this thread are worked out.
As a result, while testing aspects of USBNetworking with wifi enabled, my device auto-updated to 5.13.5! The KUAL application now shows a dialog Application Error. I looked in documents and there is a KUAL.kual file with zero bytes.
Since I had installed the recovery prior to the OTA update, is there any way to ssh in and successfully revert?
I realize I misread the instructions, but I was earnestly trying to keep the device running 5.13.3. I very much regret not attempting the hacks to prevent OTA.
I'm pretty bummed, I had hoped to get a wireless page turner working via a Homekit button as a project and feel stuck now.
