Here is wait you should have done (after unexpected Firmware upgrade to >5.16.2):
1) Put the four emergency files, then restart Kindle.
2) They should disappear- that means JB was restored.
3) Install Hotfix from NiLuJe’s Snapshots with “Update Your Kindle”.
4) Restart Kindle TWICE.
5) Put the RUNME.sh file with downgrader code - run this with “;log runme” command.
6) This creates this version.txt.bak and allows to downgrade.
7) Put the lower FW bin file and restart - Kindle will downgrade.
8) Install again Hotfix from NiLuJe with UYK.
9) Restart Kindle TWICE.
10) Install AND activate renameOTAbin.

Sir, you saved my life (and a Kindle to be smashed against the wall).
Short story >> new K. Oasis for Christmas. Version 5.15.whatever. Attempt to jailbreak with language hack. Fail. Upgrade to 5.16.2. Success!! I manage to install KUAL, KOReader, hotfix, etc. Start registering Kindle and activating 3 free months of K. Unlimited; can't turn wifi off. Weird. Realise it is stuck on 'managed mode'. WTF is this. Cold sweat. Go for dinner. Come back and manage to exit this 'managed mode', but the f*c*ing thingie has upgraded itself to the last version when unsupervised. Anger rises. Nothing seems to work. Then I saw your guide and everything has gone back to normal, I have my JB again, KUAL, KOReader, etc. And, of course, renameOTAbin is active.
Just wanted to spend some time relating my story in case it is of any help for someone else, same way you (and other great persons) spend your time helping others. Thank you again, I really appreciate your help.
PS: Now, let's see how we can get rid of this TERRIBLE UI and go back to something similar to the one we had on 5.13.X XD
