Did you try this on a brand new kindle fresh out of the box? Or had you let your kindle update in the past?

That sounds like you have Rescue Pack with the optional Coward's Rescue Pack add-on installed.

If so, that is exactly how it is suppose to work.

So I did reset to factory default and jailbrek was survived but not 100%. So I uploaded after factory reset 1.14JB bin to kindle and eject USB, then I normally select update Kindle and Kindle was restarted and updated OK. After that I uploaded MRPI and kual installation to Kindle and launch it through ;log ...command in search bar to install KUAL back. KUAL is now working perfectly on 5.9.2. So definitively my Kindle somehow ignore one bin update file.. If I try it now, file is imediatelly deleted after USB eject, but after reset it allowed one bin update...

Tried reset to factory and still not work

Quick answer probably not. Longer answer: go read the first post of the software jailbreak thread.

PERFECT! Finally someone other confirm "my way" :-)

It depends on what country it was delivered in.
Antinoos looked into this in depth the last time we ran into regional firmware builds.
Check some of his previous posts.

The laws in Germany are different on the subject of what access an owner has to the software/firmware in a consumer device. (I learned that from ixtab).
What we are seeing from time to time is probably Amazon's efforts to comply.

Maybe, but it can be some "opened time window" for example... it should be investigated more
