To actually answer the question, from the first post in the thread:

Which means making sure you won't get force-fed an unwanted OTA update is *very*important. Switch to airplane mode ASAP, and create a *folder* named update.bin.tmp.partial at the top-level (in other words, at the root) of the visible USB storage.
WARNING: FW >= 5.12.x is potentially much more aggressive, and we currently don't have a sure-proof way of preventing OTA updates on those newer FW versions (short of sticking to Airplane mode).
WARNING: FW >= 5.12.2 is definitely much more aggressive, and it will *probably* destroy your JailBreak. You'll want to make *absolutely* sure that your bridge is up-to-date *before* the update to have any chance of keeping it alive.
TL;DR: Stay away from FW >= 5.12.x.
