Device: No K1, PW2, KV, KOA
7th generation device, OTA blocking

And the 6th generation PW-2, perhaps others (KT, PW1).

Research required

You will need command line access (serial port, ssh, telnet, kTerm, ...).
Run the following command:
Code:
[root@kindle root]# cd /etc/kdb.src/wario/system/daemon/otaup ; for f in `ls -1` ; do echo $f ; strings $f ; echo ; done ; cd
(When you reach the end of the command line, just keep on typing. Better yet, just cut&paste the above into the command line (without the prompt, I.E: starting with the cd), press enter.)

Post the output of that command in this thread.
Include device nickname and firmware version information with your report.

Note:
There is (was) a database utility posted by NiLuJe, somewhere around here, that can be used to modify the above database.

OTA blocking might be as simple as setting the transfer timeout to an unreasonably short time.
(Which would require a jailbroken device)
OR
Playing games with the hardcoded /mnt/us filenames used.
(Which would not require a jailbroken device)
