Is a jailbroken PW2 with 5.4.5.1 firmware and BackDoorLock hack installed still safe against silent updates or did Amazon find a way to circumvent it with this OTA they are releasing now?
Ah ....

The OTA download is being done by the currently executing version, not the version to be installed in the future.

If your currently executing a firmware version that is not in the 5.6.x series, this backdoor lock is effective.
