Don't ask me which variable preventing the upgrade, I have no idea, I just wanted to disable all online services from kobo.
I doubt if any of them do. The reason you aren't getting prompted to do a WiFi update is because you don't use the Kobo services. The ONLY time a firmware update check is done is when you are doing a synch. And a synch will only be done when you press the sync button or once a day if you have the auto sync option set. If you have the browser and never do a sync, then you will never get prompted to update. Of course, if you don't use the Kobo services and don't use the browser, turning WiFi off will guarantee that you never get a firmware update.
