@HarryT
Sorry...should have been more clear. I suspect firmware 5.4.1 was not a complete image, but an incremental update. I believe you would need to downgrade to the next lower complete image (which in the case of the PW2 would be the original firmware) then update to 5.4.1 if you wanted 5.4.1's goodies but not want 5.4.2. Then, if you wanted to stay there, you would need to stop Amazon from auto-updating by either leaving wifi off or by utilizing one of the hacks that will block updates.

The PW2 in our house belongs to my wife and a divorce has been promised if I JB and hack it, so I have only been following the dev's work for interest and have not actually done this to a PW2 (PW1 yes, nine ways from Sunday). If anyone has any corrections, please jump in!
