i can do it simply by disabling wifi but i want to use google drive on my kobo as i have already installed the grive patch on kobo.
The only time a check for new firmware is done is when you do a sync to the Kobo server. So, are you reading books from Kobo and want to sync the status? If you are, you can't stop the check and update. Otherwise, just don't sync. You don't have a need to, so don't.
