Hello,

that's ok for me.
Running 5.12.4 on a KOA3 (G000WL). Used KindleBreak method (+ jbhotfix + kual + misc mrpackages + koreader)
I applied the renameOTAbin procedure manually and rebooted. I did not create a "update.bin.tmp.partial" dir.
When I turned on wifi for the first time, I registered my device on Amazon account without issue.
No automatic OTA attemps.

Now, I use wifi only with Koreader Calibre's extension to send/synchronize ebooks and go back to airplane mode after by security.

Thanks you for this procedure.
