Any way to block OTA updates in the hope for future jailbreak?

maakies · Today, 08:57 AM

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.
