I jailbroke my Kindle on version 5.17.2 and removed the "Run Hotfix" shortcut icon. Yesterday, when I turned on Wi-Fi to sync online books, Amazon secretly updated my Kindle to version 5.18.4. Is there any way to restore the "Run Hotfix" shortcut icon or re-jailbreak my device? I tried installing Update_hotfix_universal.bin, but it failed. I need help, thank you.
