OTA blocking

It looks like firmware 5.9.2 (and maybe earlier) can defeat our current means (a directory name) of blocking over-the-air updates.

As a temporary measure, keep the devices in 'airplane mode' to avoid updates.
This is specially critical for devices NOT YET running a firmware from the 5.9.x firmware series.
At least if you want to jail break the device, since we can not jail break any of the 5.9.x series firmwares.

If you want to know when a new blocking method is invented, just subscribe to this thread.
(And please, everybody else avoid posting a lot of 'noise' in this thread.)
