Post Kindle Oasis KOA (G0B0GU) jailbreak attempt fails at step 17

So I did try it but it didn't help unfortunately.


To reiterate my progress attempting the jailbreak:
I have a KOA, specifically a Kindle Oasis 3G + WiFi 8th Gen (G0B0GU) running on 5.16.2.1.1. I've followed this guide closely in multiple tries but I always fail at step 17. The device instead of booting into the language select screen just reboots back in English. Attempting to apply the hotfix after that ends up in 'Update failed' error.

I've read most of this thread, plus the github issues (there's an open thread there about the same issue) and tried most things I came across. Like I mentioned above, I run through the steps again in a basement with no signal connectivity, in case it helped. Also tried factory resetting the device back to German since that's where the device was bought from. But I just can't get to the language select screen, the files copy over fine both times, but the device just restarts to the language it was set to.

I'm out of ideas for now, maybe my specific model doesn't play well with LanguageBreak. I'll be definitely be keeping an eye for updates though.
