The CSR told me that I had nothing to worry about. Also that 5.10.1.1 is only an OTA update, not downloadable. I insisted that I manually upgraded, still have the file on my computer. Then the CSR let slip (intentionally or on purpose I am not sure) that ALL devices that are already at least on 5.9.7 have no problems with the 5.10.1.1 update.

I guess that's why I didn't have any issues. I was already at 5.9.7 when I upgraded (manually) to 5.10.1.1. If anyone wants the 5.10.1.1 firmware for the Basic (8th Gen) I have that. Apparently Softpedia has all the 5.10.1.1 releases at their website. Don't know if I would trust them or not.
Oh, and the plural of Oasis is Oases — which doesn't look right.
EDIT: It looks like the software is still on Amazon's servers, just not linked. For example, the Oasis 2nd Edition firmware is at:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...s_5.10.1.1.bin
You just have to change "kindle_all_new_oasis_" to your model ...
Examples: "_kindle_8th_" ; "_kindle_oasis_" ; "_kindle_voyage_" ; "_kindle_" ; "_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_" ; "_kindle_paperwhite_v2_" (The one that just says "kindle" is the Kindle Basic, 7th Gen.)
