Disable Firmware Updates

I recently bought a UE50TU8002K as an update for my fading LE37C670. I found out that avoiding firmware updates requires blocking DNS osb-v2.samsungqbe.com. Others mentioned in different posts didn't seem to be sufficient. A couple of other addresses that I thought might be related to updates are tvx.adgrx.com and scs.samsungqbe.com, but ultimately didn't need to block those.
Is anyone looking into rooting in the T series? I really miss being able to mount NFS shares and other goodies. I'd be happy to help with any non-destructive tests.

Could this name be added to blackbox' post?

I'm using this blocklist myself now:
Code: Select all
az28248.vo.msecnd.net
az43064.vo.msecnd.net
samsungotn.net
otn.samsungcloudcdn.com
samsungcloudsolution.net
osb-v2.samsungqbe.com
Blocking the entire msecnd.net domain also seems to block legitimate services.
