Darn, sounds like I'm going to have to buy a new kindle. If I were to buy a Oasis now, would it be jailbreakable, or is only Kindle Voyage and below jailbreakable at this point?

EDIT: So I made the device_info.xml file, a blank xml file in the diagnostic_logs folder, and now I made it out of the System Diags, and out of the DIAGS EXIT Please use serial port screen. I'm just plainly stuck at a screen with the kindle logo (with the kid next to the tree reading a book underneath)

EDIT: WOOO!!! I held the power button for a minute on that screen I just mentioned, and am now seeing a selection menu for language (meaning that the factory restore probably has taken its effect). A loading bar is now appearing on the kindle logo screen! Thanks knc1 and Yourcat for your suggestions. I believe the kindle should be working now.

P.S. @knc1 if you could answer that question I had about Oasis though (whether or not it is jailbreakable), I would appreciate it. [Also unrelated, why are you not interested in KV or newer?] Thanks again!!

Darn, I notice that the root filesystem is nearly empty other than the documents folder. So I've lost my jailbreak right?
