I am on 5.17.1.0.3 at the moment and when I pressed the icon, it boot up the jailbreak and only say "jailbreaking, please wait" for more than 10 minutes. Shall I continue waiting or just redo the process?

Scribe 2022 update from jailbroken 5.17.2 to 5.17.3 was a success, with hiccups.
I was finally willing to risk the update with @sparkyboy's report that it is still jailbreakable, if the update failed and had to start over. I first tried using MRPI to install the update by copying it to the mrpackages folder and running KUAL-> Helper -> Install MR Packages but it failed when/after validating the package and automatically deleted it. Since it is a system update I decided instead to use UYK. I ran KUAL -> Rename OTA Binaries -> Restore and waited while it rebooted. Then I copied the update .bin to the root folder. That enabled regular UYK in More -> Settings -> three dot menu -> Update Your Kindle. I let that run and it was successful. Of course KUAL would not launch, as expected. At this time I'd forgotten to check if MRPI worked via the search bar, but I'll get back to that. I tried running the HackerDude Run Hotfix booklet, but it failed with an error message at the bottom of the screen that said something akin to 5.12.2.x ):. I restarted the Kindle and ran it again. This time Run Hotfix ran and printed *** Squash JB *** and then rebooted as I expected. I tried KUAL again and it still failed, but I finally remembered to check MRPI with ;log mrpi, and that worked. I then re-installed KUAL by copying the .bin into the mrpackages folder and running ;log mrpi. With that I'm back to a working jailbreak and on 5.17.3. With KUAL working I was able to run Rename OTA Binaries -> Rename and let it reboot the Scribe. With the fresh update I now get to see the annoying always-on Expandable Margin icon when reading reflowable KFX documents. They really, really, should have made that a toggle like/with the writing toolbar. It might have been a good idea to restore OTA before trying anything, so that the Kindle wouldn't be left unable to re-install the system with UYK if I'd broken something.

If you are thinking of jailbreaking a Colorsoft, take a moment to decide if you really want to do so as you cannot undo the jailbreak once done because there is no unjailbroken firmware you can install to remove the jailbreak.
