I read that is nothing to worry about.

My bad, I missed that post.
Message means exactly what it says, you must use the serial port to enter those commands.
There is no getting around it, open it up and connect to the serial port with a 1.8volt serial to USB adapter.
Oh, wait -
You have an Oasis -
Which means you have to find the serial port first.
So far, all we have seen is a photograph of one side of the board.
If you can't find it yourself, we will need hi-res pictures of BOTH sides of the board.

You might try this before opening it up - -
In diags, export the USB area -
try adding the:
DO_FACTORY_RESTORE
trigger filename at the top of visible usb storage.
disconnect the USB cable
reboot

OR
Since you can see the USB storage area (once you export it) -
Try downgrading it using the KOA downgrade package linked to in the JB thread.

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=275877 Step #3 and the following steps.
If that works, or a combination of those work -
be sure you do not upgrade to 5.8.2 again.

** Which is probably not a useful warning.
It isn't 'main' that is the problem, it is the 'diags' system that is the problem.
In general, Amazon update packages never change the 'diags' system.
**In general**
I don't recall anyone reporting on the contents of the 5.8.2 update package.
We may need to come up with a "diags system downgrade" package, down to a version that allows you to exit via the screen commands. (if there is one)
