Same here, although there is now a way to restore it to 5.4.0 it's rather technical, and if you aren't careful you can brick your device permanently. I'd also like to see a way to prevent automatic updates for the PW2!

EDIT: Just tried to use the same method that this hack uses, all the files still exist etc. so it's possible that the update mechanism hasn't changed. For now I commented out the appropriate lines and hope that it doesn't update!
