Somehow, before I could use Kindlebreak to jailbreak it, I found out it was actually jailbroken because ;log mrpi worked when I put the MRPI and KUAL files in there.
Still in airplane mode, I have updated it to 5.14.2 with the bin file in attempt to correct the version numbers.
But how did the command work AFTER a reset? Is this "jailbreak" genuine? I had come to believe that resetting would mean losing the Jailbreak.
Now I need to connect to internet quickly to download some dictionaries and connect my Amazon account, but I am afraid without a "genuine" jailbreak I may not be so lucky this time if it updated to a higher version.
I have checked out the thread about renaming the OTA binaries, but I also read some threads, with one specifically claiming that their KOA3 updated despite the binary change
Any advice please? Thanks in advance.

I believe the one who posted about the update after installing thought that installing the rename extension was all that was necessary when you need to install and run it for it to work.
