FF2 · 02-18-2011, 11:05 AM

If I can ask for a summary.

My K3 is at 3.02. My wifi has been off for a few days.

If my k3 is jailbroken and I've got the screensaver hack and I add this hack, I can turn wifi back on and autoupdate will be disabled. Amazon will not be able to SHOVE 3.1 down my K3's throat.

I would then either be able to update to 3.1 manually by downloading the bin file and running it like other Amazon firmware updates if I wanted. (obviously with the consequence of not (at the moment) being able to remove hacks).

Or I could UNinstall this hack (and other hacks if I wanted) and allow nature to take its course with potential auto-update to 3.1.

This hack does not involve any of that usb-network thingie stuff.

Thanks for satisfying my needs (g)
