There is no way to change that, once it connects to the internet or a different network the update will push to the device.

Solution if you despertly want the phone is to pull the sim card and root the phone. Strip out everything samsung. If it can't recognize you, it can't update.

        I have seen clone phones of the Note 7 from China which looked exactly identical to the real thing, so those of you who dearly misses their Note 7 can consider getting one if you can live with 2GB Ram and only 16GB built-in memory... Can use the stylus to scratch your head should you regret getting one in the future...

          These all the great service from Samsung, all of you (Samsung Fans) must be very grateful.

This is probably the only thing, where smartphones does not evolve. And gives a lot of problems. But issue was because of battery layers, also it had not enough space for battery. So batteries expand over time, and negative and positive layers breaks all layers and touches each other, and boom, "explotion"

Also disconnecting devices does not need updates, just block imei ir whatever so note 7 cannot connect to cellular services. Samsung HAD to do this thing after recall... why couldnt they just do it or send warnings...

                  I still can't believe that Samsung would ship faulty batteries in the 21'st century. I am sure some big Name is involved in defaming this product. Only time will tell.

                      I wonder if its an ota update ,idiots who still want to keep the device wont install the update. Or does this update automatically installs without users permission?
