I have just used this approach with a KT4W8 running 5.13.6 and have since side load updated to 5.14.2 firmware and redone the hot fix. I have installed KUAL and some additional software including the OTA rename extension. I have used the extension and hopefully am now safe to go online without fear of an automated update.
Has anyone confirmed that the JB survives an update to the 5.14.3 firmware in case something goes wrong? Is it as simple as running the hot fix again if it occurs?
I need to go online at some point as it appears that some features require online access to an Amazon account. I would prefer to know before doing so that the worst that could happen is I would need to run the hot fix again.
Is it safe to place a copy of the hot fix in storage on the KT4W8 itself in a sub-directory, or is this inadvisable? It would be convenient as then just copying it to the root would allow a quick application of the hot fix when necessary.
