Hi Mobilereaders,

Unfortunately, my Oasis was lying around with a drained battery lately. I don't know how long exactly, but after I plugged it in, it started charging immediately. So I guess, it could not have been too long.

However, since recharging, the book recently read no longer appears first. I have to scroll through half the library to find it and continue reading. It does remember the last positions in my books, though, which seems strange to me. Sort order is correctly set to "Recent".

Please correct me if this is wrong, but according to Google, the issue is due to a wrong date setting, which could be be fixed via WiFi sync. However, I have an older firmware (5.14.2) installed and thus want to avoid automatic OTA updates.

I have successfully jailbroken my Kindle today, which I had planned to do for a while anyway. Is there any way to fix the error on a jailbroken device without WiFi? I could not find anything on the subject and would be happy about every hint.
