Factory reset is probably needed to clean things up after firmware downgrade.
If that fixes things and you manage to boot back all the way to Kindle homescreen then do 2 more reboots and while device os starting look at that bottom section of the screen where you previously saw that "**JAILBREAK**" text if something gets written or not.
If you get to do a factory reset make sure that during the setup you skip connecting to the WiFi. And later keep Airplane mode turned on, until you get to use OTA Renamer KUAL extension no going online!
After doing all that report here in details what happened.

its working now again!
during factory reset this "**SQUASH JB**" appeared instead of "**JAILBREAK**"
The device is left unregistered and on airplane mode.
The device is still on 5.16.2.1.1. However "**JAILBREAK**" no longer shows up upon restart. And only the following folders are available on the root folder when the kindle is connected to the PC: "audible", "documents", "fonts" and "voice".
