Unhappy How to make sure kindle doesn't update on the first setup?

Hey everyone! I just bought a kindle PW4 and I knew i shouldnt let it update to 5.13.4 if i wanted to jailbreak it but the kindle wouldn't let me do anything if i didn't login first... so i decided to turn on the wifi to set up my account, and it was at most 10 minutes before turning on airplane mode.

After that, the first thing I did was to check which version was installed, and I was happy to see it was 5.12.X (i even compared my old updated kindle to the new one to check the versions!)

Then i connected it to my PC (still on airplane mode) and when i disconnected it I noticed the dark mode option was already there, when it wasn't before! I checked out my version... and yep, it was updated to 5.13.4 i didn't even see that updating screen or anything, maybe it came already downloaded and just had to install itself? my wifi is pretty fast but always my kindles got updated overnight

Fortunately, i guess, my new kindle came with a dead pixel and the store told me to bring it on monday and change it for another one... so what should i do to prevent the next kindle to update? can i jailbreak it without setting up a wifi or an amazon account? maybe i can have all the files downloaded before or something?

Thank you!

PD: sorry if my English isn't that good


Edit: Figured it out! Next time i won't mess up
