Hi!

I have a replacement kindle scribe 64gb device arriving later this week.

I'm not sure what firmware will be arriving, but I think I have a good chance that it will be an older version as the device will likely arrive refurbished.

What can I do to BLOCK the updates until I get a chance to proceed with the jailbreak?

I can run a hot spot through my android phone and perhaps through that install some firewall so that amazon's update servers are blocked, and just allow sign-in?

And cut the hotspot connection the moment that the sign in is complete? Then turn on airplane mode the moment I can? Any suggestions?
