The serial port pinout and connector pad has been identical since the K4 (with the exception of the two Oasis models).
The "backdoor lock" has not worked for several years.
You really should do what is recommended in our jail break thread(s) to prevent OTA updates.
I found this thread in a Google search. It was not my intent to hijack this thread, only to add my experiences as well to aid other people who might stumble upon this page like I did.

With that being said, if you could provide a link or two on how to best block OTA updates, it would be appreciated. My research on the internet led me to believe that the backdoorlock was the best way to block OTA updates. Based upon what you said, I am clearly in error.
