Hi all,
I’ve been trying to jailbreak my Kindle Oasis (10th Generation) using the WinterBreak tool, but I’m unable to trigger the jailbreak. Here are my details and what I’ve tried:

Model: Kindle Oasis (10th Gen)
Serial Prefix: G000 WL05
Firmware: 5.17.1.0.3 (4351880007)
Downloaded the WinterBreak package from Kindle Modding.
Copied the following files to my Kindle:
Safely ejected the Kindle and rebooted it.
nd enabled Wi-Fi when prompted

Expected to see the WinterBreak icon or prompts, but nothing happened.

Is the firmware version 5.17.1.0.3 (4351880007) still compatible with the WinterBreak jailbreak?
Could I have missed a step in the process?
Should I attempt a downgrade? If so, what’s the safest way to do that?
Are there alternative methods to jailbreak my device if this firmware version is patched?
Thanks so much for your help!
Cheers!
