Debrick Kindle Oasis (1st version 8th gen)

bcomnes · 02-08-2020, 12:48 AM

My perfectly working US kindle oasis (original model) decided to brick on me tonight. Was working fine, then after transferring some docs over to it, I went to eject it. It appeared to eject fine on the computer, but then when I opened the cover there was some kind of un-dismissible "device error" about not ejecting correctly, and that the kindle was trying to recover or something.

I waited for a while and it would not recover, so I decided to do a hard reset. Now it's stuck on the boot screen. Amazon support is useless, per usual.

Any clues on how to brick a first gen kindle oasis? I was working perfectly before all of this, and has never been jail broken.

Any ideas appreciated.

Same thing just happened to me, I don't supposed you ever figured it out?

I threw it in a closet for a month, and then tried to recharge it and it came back to life. Maybe it was stuck on a fsck loop or something. I ended up with a remarkable after this, never to buy kindle again.

Did you ever try to reconnect with your PC, just asking.

It was a long time ago but I'm sure I did. The thing was temporarily bricked until it completely drained battery and then after a hail-mary recharge.
