As told I've the Kindle Paperwhite (6th Generation) with its latest FW 5.12.2.2
I'd like to thank other users here for their hints that sadly I've read after tons of attempts.

The first time i've tried the jailbreak I was able to come to the 13th step "At this point, a language selection screen appears. Select 简体中文 (Chinese), which should appear above an entry called Pseudot and below Japanese." where there was not that voice "Pseudot". I had only Japanese and Chinese. So I tried again all the steps and I was not able to come to that language selection page anymore.

I've tried keeping the cable on (I've made the same mistake pluggin it out), I've tried with reboot with long button press, short button press and no press at all.
Everytime the Kindle reboots it goes back to the Wifi page. So no luck at all.

I'm not sure that you really can do this Jailbreak with my 6th gen Kindle.
And of course I cannot go to FW 5.16.2 because there is not that FW for my version.

I think I've to give up.
But if you want to help me, I'm here :)

Same for me with same device and firmware 5.12.2.2. No Pseudot option avaialble on step 13.
If I continue to step 14 there are no logs shown, and I think on restart the Kindle exits demo mode so the jailbreak isn't executed.

If I attempt applying the hotfix steps, the ;uzb command does nothing at all, and step 3 leads to Update error: 007

My issue, I wasn’t copying the files correctly on step 11.

But If you get stuck at the WiFi page, it’s worth a try connecting to your network. If the language is English when the kindle loads, you can manually select Chinese in the settings and reboot. From there continue from step 2 of applying the hotfix. It might work if the files are all in the correct place
