Trying to find an answer to my own question. Otherwise thanks for the info!

Generally be careful with system files, Kindles are fragile and take ANY excuse to go into unboot-loop.

Make sure you have your USBNet auto-starting so you can have a chance to change files if it goes into this unboot-loop.
Thanks for the advice! Are these steps really necessary when tampering non critical *.jar files ? I mean, I'm just trying to add some minor features in the built-in reader. And about USBNet, the latest one failed to install from MRI with some message like "script encountered error while running", I guess it isn't compatible with firmware 5.17.x yet. I am using the integrated SSH server in KOReader as a replacement
