Lost JB and Dummy *.bin cannot write any log file. Later upgraded to 5.8.10
Now tried both *.bin files but showed error 7.

Congratulations!
You are now a candidate to try out my new "Serial Port Jail Break" instructions once I finish them.
This is my first answer of the day, so let me waste some time on telling this story one-more-time:
- Upgrade with an Amazon system image file (the only thing they ship).
This over-writes the Mobileread developer's signature certificate (a.k.a: the Jail Break).
- Restart (part of the image file installation process).
The JB survival code re-installs the signature certificate (and a few other details).
- "Reset (to factory defaults)"
This erases everything the user put on the Kindle or that the Kindle created for the user. Everything that did not come on a brand new Kindle.
That includes the "JB survival code".
- At this point, the coplate "Master Hotfix Package" could have saved the day for you.
But you did not use it at this point (fresh image, restart + reset)
- Installed another Amazon system image file.
Once again, over-writing the re-installed signature certificate.
That is now gone, just like it was in step #1.
- Restarted (part of the image update process).
Only this time, due to steps #3 and #4 , there is no "JB survival code" to re-install the signature certificate.
Welcome to using the Kindle the way Amazon intended it to be used.
Steps #3 through #6 are the only sequence of actions that can completely remove our viral jail break.
But you managed to find them.
So once again, congratulations.
