Yes, you can use an app like AutoStarts or Titanium Backup to freeze the SystemUpdater.apk
This will prevent the pop-ups. Or you can just uninstall the SystemUpdater.apk altogether.
O ya thanks man I should have thougt of that

I too have this problem. I get the annoying "install update" pop up like 20x a day on my epic running rooted EB13. I'd love to stop it so I used titanium backup to freeze "system updater" but it does not stop the popups! So I think the solution suggested above doesn't work for me.
(It does make the phone crash back to the launcher if I press "settings - about phone - check for updates" though.
So, any other ideas? I'd flash a new ROM but I'm too lazy to restore all my apps and data. I'm waiting for a stable gingerbread ROM instead.
(Side note: new users can't post more than once every 5min on XDA. That's understandable, but frustrating that it applies to *editing* one's posts too...as I'm sitting here with typos I can't fix for another 4minutes. Oh well)

Alas, that was the first thing I tried. No such luck. It attempts to install....fails, I reboot. And then get the message again within minutes. I also tried deleting the update.zip file which was at the root of the SD card. This is maddening... sometimes it till pop up every 5 minutes (though it sometimes leaves me alone for hours too)

Huh that's strange I don't know then. Sorry bud. Only other thing is to odin to ec05 completly.
Edit: what u can do is do a back up go into the development section look for rerfs. What that will do is flash u back to a stock ec05 rom with cwm2.x.x.x then u boot up then u can flas cwm3.0.0.6 boot back up power down. Then boot into cwm let it reconvert to ext4 then do a restore of ur curent set up. And make sure u flash a kernel afther that and ur good to go.

You lost me with those later Instructions. My understanding is if I do a nandroid restore, I would wipe out my upgrade in the first place. To be clear...I did a nandroid backup of my now hybrid EB13 w/ EC05 modem system. If I then ODIN'd to full stock EC05 I would have to wipe my system of apps and data right? Then if I tried to restore the nandroid backup, it would undo what I ODIN'd and restore my eb13/ec05 hybrid setup yes?
In any case, back to the original issue, just for fun I tried to use CWM to install the update.zip the popup notification said it had downloaded (which I'd manually removed via astro file manager). This triggered a file not found error and it automatically wiped the dalvik-cache (whatever that is). I rebooted and... no upgrade message! (At least not for 15 minutes). Maybe that worked?

It appears to be fixed as I haven't gotten the pop-up all day long! I'm not sure which action resolved it (or perhaps both)
1. Flashed modem from EB13 to EC05
2. Attempted to install update from a .zip that I'd removed in CWM which triggered erasing the dalvik cache.
Anyway, now dispensing thanks for your help!

I've seen people mention using titanium backup to freeze the device manager or updater app. Something to that effect.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
thanks but i don't have a clue what that means.
i installed Kies on my pc to try and find the download and "push" it through with Odin, but Kies tells me my firmware is good.
i have NO idea where to dl the newest OTA from T-Mobile and then i'd have NO idea how to push it with Odin.
help, someone????
Titanium backup is an app from the market. With it you can uninstall system apps, or simply "freeze" them, meaning they are still there but no longer allowed to run.
"Device management" is the system app that's notifying you of the available ota update.
So, to answer your original question, download titanium backup and use it to freeze device management in order to get rid of the ota notification.
All this assumes of course that you are rooted and running a custom ROM. If you aren't on a custom ROM, then I wouldn't understand your wanting to avoid the update, as it appears it doesn't affect your ability to root, and may not even unroot your device.

i wasn't trying to avoid it, i was originally trying to install it, but Clockwork wouldn't let me; a couple people in here tried to offer 'halfway' help, but stopped answering my questions, so i mainly just wanted to get rid of the nag, since the mod i flashed got me to 2.3.6 anyway.
turns out that Perfect Backup let me clear the Device Mgmt data, and that got rid of the nag. so i didn't have to pay for Titanium Backup (can't freeze stuff unless you pay for it).
so the resolution is that once i'd flashed to 2.3.6 the OTA was just in some kind of cache, i guess, and all i had to do was clear it.

i just went through the exact same problem. go get Deodexed KL1 (i think it's a stock ROM) and it'll do what the new update is going to do, flash you to 2.3.6.
flash the modem, too, with Odin (KL1 modem) and then find your Device Management 10.* and Clear the Data using Perfect Backup (free).
i was unable to get rid of that nag/notification until i did that.
there may be other ways of Clearing the Data for Device Mgmt - maybe in App Manager. In any case, when i cleared the data the nag was gone.

Flash Mr X's deodexed stock rom. the rom your device downloaded is designed to work with your phones stock recovery and not with clockwork mod. X's rom works with CWM.

Thanks guys. I should have waited for the hint. I ended up resetting the rom and it fixed the nag. So clearing the cache would probably fix it too and save me a lot of reloading of apps and settings.
[Q] Stop OTA for Samsung GS 2 on T-Mobile
Hello!
My wife has a rooted GS 2 with the stock ROM from TMO. I am concerned that the new OTA (T989VUVKL1)might break her root functionality, cause repeated update notification, or cause her phone to no longer work. Does anyone know the app or file I need to freeze or delete to stop the OTA from happening? At this point she is also getting the notification to update (eek!) At some point I will want to upgrade the ROM to the newest one assuming I can keep root access. Thank you for all your help and support!

Before you go to the trouble of flashing it in Odin, try doing a full factory reset ....
Factory reset won't bring it back. That just clears data of everything on the phone.. but since its deleted, it ain't gonna come back.
Do the Odin flash. Easiest thing, will be back to stock. I just really did mines yesterday .. because bugged me that someone I got airpush notification and I have a habbit of the littlest thing PC or phone to just reformat

It says wipe data, then restore, however it only gives option to wipe data and backup as if there was nothing to restore yet since it hasn't been backed up.. obviously if I do backup, then I can wipe data and restore but that's not what it says in the instructions. It says specifically wipe data hen restore.. any help? When loading game it said failed to connect but after playing with it got it to say the data is corrupted and it asks me to re download it but fails to connect. I have miui.us 2.1.13, titanium backup pro, I even have chainfire 3d pro with all the plugins from power to nvidia to qualcomm.. gta works perfect without chainfire.. let me know if you've ran into same issue and if so how you fixed it ..

Did you keep your data? If so the best way is a totally clean install. Give it another shot.
Thanks
I did in fact do a "save data root", and I'm embarrassed to say, how might I go about performing a clean install, and would I have root privileges after, and finally, any tips or advice on how one might avoid this type of thing in the future?

re download the one click, making sure it is ff18 or el29 depending on whether you want gb or ics, then reflash it in odin using the same video as a guide. Weird you lost that status bar though, usually it won't boot if you had a bad download. I suspect with titanium backup you restored a gingerbread launcher on an ics rom or vice versa. Avoid restoring apps from titanium unless you know what you are doing would be my advice.

Thx for that info cuz I was doing just that.... attempting to restore certain back ups, one being the stock launcher. So are you suggesting a complete wipe and then download and reflash the one click? Honestly, the reason I orginally decided on the root option is sorta of dumb I suppose. I was sure that my ex had installed spyware on my phone and saw root as the only viable option for discovery, I actually like the stock rom and initially really liked the stock w/root. Obiviously I have a lot to learn...and express my genuine appreciation for knowlegdeable people such as yourself for helping me pull my head out my ass inch by inch.:

I did in fact do a "save data root", and I'm embarrassed to say, how might I go about performing a clean install, and would I have root privileges after, and finally, any tips or advice on how one might avoid this type of thing in the future? Thank you for taking some of your time to guide the blind and aimless

Also if you have access to a wifi connection or good 4g speeds I would recommend downloading all of your apps again and truly starting from scratch. It should take about an hour to do it all assuming you dont have hundreds of apps.
Just sync your phone now, do the one click, after boot update profile and prl then sign into google account and resync then start setting up apps. This is when you decide if you really need all the crap you previously had on your phone.

also, not sure if i mentioned that initially all functions were operational after ROM flash....it was only after I got to jacking with stuff, did that happen. Oh yeah, also have had a few soft resets occur ass well.
Here, enter the link below in your url bar (assuming you are on Windows). It is sfhub's one click. Just click the file after it downloads and flash it.

Be sure to go to the thread and thank him, just posted the link so you would have the right one.
Word of warning, you are going to lose your apps and will have re download them. If the phone doesn't boot after flashing it, re download again because you simply had a bad download.

Thx....one question. I've read threads, albiet, not really any thing current (like late 2011), expressing bricking issues upgrading from GB to ICS. Should I not stick with GB? Or m I already on ICS? Is the Build no. on my "About Phone" list accurate or does it not recognize modifications?

The link I posted will give you stock rooted ICS. Flashing through odin isn't very dangerous as long as you don't touch your phone while doing it and only flash the file I linked to. And don't restore any titanium backup apps this time unless you can differentiate system apps from store apps.

With restoring your apps. In titanium back up, hit restore missing apps. Then before you hit restore make sure restore only apps not apps+data. This way its only the apps you have downloaded and they are fresh.

Also dont flash anything from the recovery included with stock rom. Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421 or some other safe kernel

I don't think he/she is ready for custom kernels and roms yet, play around with just root first.

It sounds to me like when you used TiBu to move apps to SD you accidently moved system apps including the systemui.apk and dialer and/or contacts possibly. When moving apps to SD thru TiBu never move apks in red, also never restore those apps or their data if you switch to a different rom version

Ah....which is the logical approach in hind sight, thank you for preventing the same from reoccurring AGAIN! You guys are a life saver.....well once again, you guys are life saver, well at the very least, a smartphone saver! Cuz this one has come very close to being spiked like a game winning touchdown more than once. Though I'm well aware who is responsible for its problems. I'm so glad to have checked back before starting over and have since "read the effing manual" on TBU and with your expert advice, I may even be able to salvage what little of my sanity I still possess. Keep the info coming if you've remembered anything else I might be missing or overlooking. Thanks again for your time....as a father of two teenage boys and too many hobbies, I well appreciate how valuable a commodity time is.
Hey guys, just wanted to make sure everyone knew about the latest update. From the changelog:
Create your own update.zip containing apps+data!

For all of the flash-a-holics out there, this is huge. I'm going to finally break down and buy a Titanium Backup Pro key. I've been using Ultimate Backup Pro for a while now, but screw them.
Yep. It works very well to.

props to an epic app!!
This is actually pretty awesome. It was always tedious to have to get my phone half way set up and download titanium backup pro, then install all my apps. One click zips is just too cool.
If anyone has already done this, mind posting the steps necessary to get it done?

Its under batch, scroll down till you see recovery mode, only one option that says create update.zip. Correct me if i am wrong.
This is music to my ears. As a recovering flashaholic, I fully realize how much time it takes to restore 100+ apps. Plus, I always feel like my phone is so laggy during the restore, so it really does take about 15-20 minutes. This step will be a HUGE time saver.
The one question I have is does the first boot take longer? Would you almost recommend flashing the ROM and booting first, let the ROM settle and then boot to recovery and flash the TB zip?

This is what I would probably feel more comfortable doing. I would like to make sure the actual ROM boots up first lol

Do you need to sign the update.zip before flashing? If so, what is everyone using to sign the file?

I actually didn't try flashing the zip yet, just did a backup for next time i flash a rom, so i don't know if it needs to be signed sorry. Maybe someone else can answer the question?
I flashed it no problem. Do not use the update.zip function in recovery. Just flash like a normal zip.

1. You need to boot up first then reboot recovery for it to flash.
2. In my case flashed correctly but all apps were FCing and a lot of lag and freezes.
3. Stick to old way till they fix the problem.

File is located in root Internal Storage by default.
Did my restore, worked great! I was a little surprised by the fact that my phone automatically rebooted, but everything works fine.

It is not necessary to sign update.zip unless you are using a stock recovery. Since most of us are rooted, I imagine we're also using a custom recovery so it won't be necessary. Like another user said, just flash it like normal.
After I create update.zip, can I edit it on my PC to add/remove items?

Thank you for the clarification. This is a great feature to have and will definitely make switching ROMs a whole lot easier.
