Firmware Update Kindle Oasis Voice View Update Problems?

SKK · 06-26-2018, 01:53 PM

Has anyone else had this issue? I had two Oasis's. One a 8th generation, and one a 9th Generation. As soon as I updated them to firmware 5.9.6.1, it says invalid update when I try to update it with the voice view files. I download the newest voice view files from Amazon, and it still says invalid update.

EDIT: Blah, just noticed that you posted in that thread, so this post is (probably) useless.

I did. Amazon did fix it. But it doesn't work anymore for me on 5.9.6.1.

I am wondering if anyone else can try it on firmware 5.9.6.1, and see if it works for them.

@SSK: I don’t understand the scenario.

I believe all 8th and later generation Kindles start out with /voice folder. Did you remove it?

Otherwise, there would be no need to run voice file installer.

What is the link you are using to download voice file installler? The only one I know of is here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...0049142&sr=1-3

And this only works with Paperwhite 7th gen. I got VoiceView on my Voyage by copying the files over from my Paperwhite, but I think other people have worked out how to extract the voice files from the above installer so that you can restore them to 8th gen devices.

Yes, I did a factory reset which removed it, and I am running firmware 5.9.6.1. It says invalid update.

Thanks. I don’t have either Oasis so I cannot try this. Hopefully someone else here can do so. Otherwise it sounds like Amazon needs to update the voice installers.

I have the same problem. Did you get it running again?

Thanks
