Unless someone discovers the serial port connections (or an alternative) on the Oasis models, that may be the only way to jail break them (swap memory with memory that has the jb pre-installed).
In answer to your question - most likely not good idea to swap between models.
We do have a thread here describing how to replace the memory chip.
What is possible is to put the files on a brand new memory chip.
(Which is how it is done in the factory, the chips are programmed before being soldered to the mother board).
And people who have the special tools to replace the chip, often have the chip programmer that is required to program them "on the tape".
On the Oasis-1 my back-up script provides the repair person with all the files they require.
That back-up script has not (yet) been updated to handle the new organization of the Oasis-2.
Note:
The repair person has to make a copy of the owner and device specific information stored on the original chip before removing it.
(Unless they ran the backup script on the original chip, which requires that the device be jail broken, so why replace the chip?
)
The big problem in the case of the two Oasis models is the amount of glue used.
Amazon used enough glue to make them nearly impossible to open without damage.
Worse than the K4
