Setting to "Airplane Mode" ***Should*** cause the firmware to stop trying both things.

Is there any chance you could install a more recent Amazon update?
Something other than 5.12.0 (the recent flurry of 5.12.x.y.z update numbers would indicate they are trying to fix a problem, or problems).

Once again, another set of eyes on those system logs would probably help here.
I could install a more recent firmware, but I was trying to run an experiment and see if the blocking directory would, indeed block the automatic upgrade to new firmware. Since Amazon is accessing that directory every 15 seconds, maybe that's proof that it *is* blocking the upgrade?
