This button creates two files:
— this “updats.bin…” folder in the visible root of USB,
— and a file in /var/local/system/ folder (invisible during USB connection).
They are intended to prevent automatic OTA updates.

The former breaks if you update to 5.11.x, and the latter breaks if you update to 5.12.x and above. Then the only way to aboid updates would be eother staying on Airplane forever, or filling up Kindle so there is 200 mb or less left.


So just stay on 5.10.3.
