It is 5.7.4 and I think Oasis only have this version.

And what other context are needed?

Shouldn't it fail to load?

That's what the page says

@thebeartian: And why are you even trying to use something explicitly tied to FW 5.6.5 on something not at all running FW 5.6.5?

I'm not sure I get the point of @geekmonster correctly.

For he said

I am pretty sure I found a jailbreak you can dump on /mnt/us for Oasis firmware 5.7.4, but no way to test it...

It will probably work on any other kindle with 5.7.4, like a PW2...

Any volunteers?

EDIT: Oops... that line is commented out. I will keep searching.

EDIT2: It looks like the same method as used for the K5 jailbreak *should* work on the Oasis. Has anybody tried it? I wish I could afford a device to test on -- if I had one I think I would have a jailbreak for it already. Somebody should try renaming a genuine amazon update file -- I would PM NiLuJe about specific details but his PMs are disabled... ;(
Just want to be a volunteer T_T

You posted my "oops" edit, where I said the potential exploit I found was commented out (and therefore unexploitable). So what?

I think he's talking about the "EDIT2" from that same post.

First things first - -
Check your Kindle/Firmware combination to see if
;fc-cache
in the search bar works.

That is required to be working for the 5.6.5 jb to be used.
And disabling that is what Amazon/Lab126 did to 'fix' the Kindles against this jail break.

I.E: They did not fix the browser exploit, just one of the jb requirements.

@shalym: Ah, thanks.

In that case, the outcome of the PM exchange is basically: 99.9% chances of nope.
Longer version: that was a comment regarding the older K5 JB, and @GM had missed the cheap trick Amazon used to workaround it, which is why things looked hopeful at first glance .

If so, just re-boot it, the jb will self-reinstall.

If not jail broken before the update - you are S.O.L.
Sorry for the bump, but just to be clear. I can update my jb pw2 currently running with the 5.6.5 fw to the 5.7.4 while keeping the jb?

Is there any update on a jailbreak for a paperwhite on 5.7.4 if it shipped from Amazon that way?
