Firmware Update Fw 5.8.11 update - Page 21

BEFORE the reset, you should only have lost all the apps you installed (they use a different word, not "apps") but the basic jailbreaking would have been in place, which *allows* the apps to be installed. Apps must be re-installed after an update.
However, yes, a RESET wiped out the jailbreak. Go ask in the jailbreak thread. This is the limit of my knowledge!

I've been lucky to jailbreak and get KUAL working on Kindle Paperwhite 3 (G090G1) @ 5.9.2.0.1 firmware. I've got my PW3 on this firmware version initially. Downgrade to 5.7.4, jailbreak, reupdate and KUAL/MRPI as well as extensions setups succeeded for me.

The steps I followed are on below 3 links.
Nuance is that after downgrade-jaibreak-reupdate, following steps of 3rd link KUAL did not appear in the Kindle's Homescreen. After reading this thread I was about to leave this thing for better future. But...
What I did is, I factory-reset my device, repeated jailbreak procedure described in 2nd link and attempted to follow 3rd link using "For 8th generation Kindle .... " 7-step-way described in section 1.1 instead. And it worked - KUAL appeared in my Kindle's Homescreen, I was able to install other extensions following further steps.

1. Downgrade to 5.7.4:
