I'm afraid that once I turn on my eReader it will auto-connect and try to update its firmware to 4.10 and I'll have a wifi bug to deal with. Also, I'm not sure how long it will take before the patches are ready for this new firmware, so I'll have to deal with a stock firmware that is buggy.



Any way to make sure this doesn't happen? Can I just turn off wifi as soon as I turn on my device? And how long until patches are available for the newest 4.10 firmware?


Yes, for me the Wifi bugginess is also reason to stick with the lovely patched 4.9 on my Clara for now.

There is a patch that prevents firmware updates over wifi (it is included in Geoff's patches package), which I have enabled. Of course it is untested, but so far my Clara hasn't told me there's an update. And if it will , I'll delete the .tgz before it restarts (you'll have to make sure automatic updates is switched off). So there is a way to stay at 4.9, you don't need to deal with the factory firmware 😊
