Hi Mergen, thanks for the help you've given me already, I just want to confirm two things:

Marek's hotfix is the "update_hotfix_languagebreak" hotfix from LanguageBreak, and NiLuJe's hotfix is JailBreak-1.16.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip? Am I correct in that this is following cordon's post here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=431?
I haven't had time to go through much of the LanguageBreak thread, so sorry for repeating some things that I haven't been able to find yet.

In case I mess up, what's the procedure to factory reset the Kindle Scribe? In its current state, my device is registered with an account, firmware 5.16.1, and partially downloaded an update (though with no partial download file to be found). Can the factory reset keep it at 5.16.1? Thanks in advance!
