So just wondering if this method explained by ricky1989 protects from the 5.6.1 upgrade...? Or should I use the BackdoorLock?

Does anybody have experience with that yet? Thanks.
That is the 'OTA rename' with directions that suffer in the translation.
There is a better description on-site.

You may use either or both.

See the relationship here, in:

Which, in the 'references' section has links to the better descriptions.

Yes, members here have experience with blocking OTA updates on the newer (2014) PW2.
