I didn't check to see if it updated on it's own (sorry). I assumed it was still on 5.8.2. So, I recopied 5.7.4 to the Oasis and quickly ran the update (which did).
Do you suppose 5.7.4 ran on it's own or did 5.8.2 delete that .bin as well?

Clueless.
The closest thing reported was by someone that went to lunch in the midst of jail breaking the Kindle.
You mentioned "re-register"ing the Kindle.
Did you un-register it at some time in the past?
Or where you just describing the result of the 'reset' (which wipes the local copy of the registration but does not change anything in Amazon's database - and Amazon's database always wins once you connect to the Internet).
The reason I am asking for clarification is that some people have reported that UYK is not reachable unless the Kindle was registered (for some firmware versions only).
To 'fix' that situation, I have a JB file that includes a fake registration for the purpose of doing the entire JB procedure without connecting to the Internet.
I would really like more information on the problem I am trying to fix.
