Unless you want to mess around with a *hardware* jailbreak -- desoldering & soldering -- you *can't* jailbreak the Voyage, at least not as of now.
As for the original question, before I installed the jailbreak lock method for preventing updates, I used a method that (for me, anyway) was evidently effective involving placing a folder with a specific name in the Kindle's root. I've forgotten the details but I found them here, I believe. The concept was that the update created this folder and placed needed files in it. When it discovered that the folder already existed, it thought the update was partially completed. When it couldn't find anything in the folder, it quit.
That was a while ago and the devious Amazon snots might have overcome this trick but it would be worth searching for it, and whether it still works.
