I am not too sure what part of my message is unclear to you...
So I may bring some infos about the last paragraph...

I verified that both the *ota* files are renamed and the no *ota* process exists...

Have a look at entry 13
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=13 Both otaupd and otav3 have been renamed, preventing them to become active (the processes associated with those files are NOT running anymore...

I did get out of airplane mode, waited a few minutes, the folder named "update.bin.tmp.partial" was still a folder...

Since a long time, I have been using the directory trick to prevent the creation of a file with the same name. This file "update.bin.tmp.partial" is a temporary files while the "update.bin" is being downloaded... If it is still a directory, it means that no update (read: intrusive files from AMAZON) is being downloaded

So I synchronized the kindle with my account in Amazon, and it did so, but it did not try to download any update.bin...

AMAZON does provide some very nice services such as a backup of all the books you did buy... Get a brand new kindle and connect it to your account, all your books may be downloaded again... all the collections created on the kindle will be reflected on your AMAZON account and reproduced , if needed , on your kindle...
Rambling on
AMAZON, poor thing, believe that they should behave as the owner of your device by forcing WHAT THEY THINK IS GOOD FOR YOU... They do not realise that the direct reaction is to buy another device. I bought a kobo (fantastic device B.T.W.)... Or to go on airplane mode, meaning that absolutely no new book will be downloaded from AMAZON...
Rambling off
I hope I did answer the question.
