2) install new firmware ( if you used "renameotabin" to block firmware OTA download undo that change.)

3) after firmware install finished do 2 more restarts, then reinstall the hotfix again, then do 2 more restarts just in case.
4) reinstall KUAL. Reapply "renameotabin" to stop future firmware updates.

In short: once you've jailbreaked in 98% of firmware updates you don't need to re-do the jailbreak steps, if you made sure to keep the hotfix up-to-date before doing firmware updates you just reinstall hotfix, KUAL and whatever else you were using and that's it.

That's said "yellow band" is 99% certain a hardware issues not a software / firmware issue
.

Thanks for your response and advice! I have a couple of questions to clarify:
- How can I know which version of the hotfix I have currently installed?
- Where can I find the previous versions of the hotfix? on the kindlemodding.org I can't see version numbers mentioned for the hotfix
- If I already have the hotfix installed, does it cause a problem to install it again? Or I can just run it like I did when I was jailbreaking?
- What you have described about firmware updates also holds for the versions which you cannot jailbreak with the Winterbreak? So once it's jailbroken with Winterbreak, I can go over the version numbers that don't work with Winterbreak pre-jailbreak?

(sry for the many question, wanna makes sure I don't brick the kindle)
