With airplane mode off and a device within 200MB of full, how can MTP force an update.
My interpretation is that the hacks to prevent OTA update (to the extent they are effective) can not be installed.

Obviously the only sure way is to keep wifi off.

But Scribe has not been jail broken, with this update, probably can never be. Keeping it offline permanently also cripples it if you want to make pen annotations or Notebooks (no real way to export). Online services are part of its value proposition.
