A user on 4PDA reported recently that deleting two files in /var/local/decanter plus a restart makes Kindle skip OTA update on OOBE screen:
https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?show...entry131151242

Files are without extension and no content:
RESUME_OOBE_FOR_OTA
OTA_START_FOR_METRIC

This works only if happen to be on low enough FW to get JB with my instructions (in LanguageBreak thread, page 33).

I haven’t tested this, however, and I don’t know what happens to OPBE itself.

In the list of LIPC commands, there are interesting flags to play with OOBE (do command “lipc -v” to get this list). Look for flags with “w”, this is write permission. I’ll try to find where I outlined it.
