Any way to block OTA updates in the hope for future jailbreak?
So, I have a Scribe and I'm on 5.16.9, well past jailbreak as an option. Would like to be able to jailbreak in the future as I despise the home page. Used KOReader on my Voyage which would be much better.
I use sendtokindle, so indefinite airplane mode isn't an option. Thank you for your time. |

Fill out device storage with junk data and leave only ~100 MB of free space? So it doesn't have enough space to completely download firmware update bin file.

In a nutshell, I used the command below to create 64GB's worth of 10MB files, copied them over to my Scribe (in a new folder) until there was less than 10MB left, and then deleted the last 10 files copied to the Scribe to free up around 100MB. Code:
For /L %i in (1,1,6554) do fsutil file createnew D%i.tmp 10485760 It's obviously overkill to create the full 64GB as the OS and existing books already take space, but the creation of the files is very fast and I wasn't in the mood to compute ![]() |
