Heheheh I’m pretty nervous about updating the PW, I really don’t want to lose the screensaver hack. It’s the only reason I did all of this.
I had a hackable PW3, but I updated OTA and lost the my chance to hack it.

That's why I recommended sticking to customer/OTA 5.10.1.3 (not to be confused with 5.10.3 which is
not jailbreakable). If you install customer fw5.10.1.3, you always have the option to install factory fw5.10.1.3 and jailbreak. Make sure you have the latest hotfix installed when you install firmware. That's what makes the jailbreak persistent.
Note, there's an option to block updates on the either KUAL+ or Helper add-on. I highly recommend enabling it from there.
The option does two things:
- create /mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial directory
- create /var/local/system/SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK file
Consider #2 an extra level of protection. In my case, SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK also greatly helped improve battery life (my PW4 was draining at 1-2% per hour on idle with wifi on).
