I am pretty sure I found a jailbreak you can dump on /mnt/us for Oasis firmware 5.7.4, but no way to test it...

It will probably work on any other kindle with 5.7.4, like a PW2...

Any volunteers?

EDIT: Oops... that line is commented out. I will keep searching.

EDIT2: It looks like the same method as used for the K5 jailbreak *should* work on the Oasis. Has anybody tried it? I wish I could afford a device to test on -- if I had one I think I would have a jailbreak for it already. Somebody should try renaming a genuine amazon update file -- I would PM NiLuJe about specific details but his PMs are disabled... ;(
