Develop Bugs

[Q] Need help ASAP unlocked R800x is auto updating!

Currently 35% downloaded. Is there any way to cancel the install phase? I was not prompted and cannot stop the download. I hope others aren't next, I tried various tricks when I first rooted to break my communication with the OTA update but obviously that didn't work.

Probably too late now 20 minutes later, but you could always pull the battery. That will buy you a little time. Then you could fastboot boot the recovery from the dev forum, access your phone with adb, and delete the update application apks from the system.

Quick uodate, I was able to postpone the update with the remind me later option I was given. Luckily it asked me at some point but my issue is still there, how do I get rid of this uodate pest? Renamint the ota-certs.zip file isn't enough because I did that a while ago.

I will try that when I get home. Is this system updates apk something I can get to from root explorer? I would love to end while I'm still at work.

Thanks Mills! I used Titanium backup to back the system-update.apk to my SD and then removed it from internal. The option to update disappeared in Settings. I out it back just to make sure I fixed it, the update option reappeared so I removed it again and now it's over. Thanks so much for helping me in the clutch. Felt like my phone had a bomb strapped to it. Oh and in Titanium I deleted the app data just to be safe and remove that update. Hopefully this info gets around so no one else is surprised.

Looks like I was wrong, the phone updated while I was busy at work and is now not turning on. With my lady at home expecting anytime I was in a catch 22, do I turn the phone off and try and help it's safety or do I do what apears to have worked. Well I had faith in what I did and now have to revert back to a crapberry. I'm calling Verizon out on this one, there is no good excuse for me to HAVE to had updated and it shouldn't be a complex procedure to say no to any updates.

Mobile Care is the app to delete or freeze on a R800x to prevent ota updating.

Thanks a MILLION for that tip markcyst. I unbricked my phone so now I will be deleting "mobile care".

how did you unbrick your phone !!! please help

This worked for me.

[Q] Stop OTA?

Help, I rooted my phone and I don't want it installing updates. But I got this notification that it has downloaded a system update and will install it when there's enough power. So I'm going to keep my phone on low until I find a way to prevent it from installing. Any tips guys and gals?

Does anyone know what the update is? The development may like for you to extract it from your phone. Could help in future development.

I just had the same problem to what I did was let it try to install but it can't because u don't have stock recovery.so it will still try but it will freeze and just pull the battery out then turn the phone back on and it will load right into cwm then just restart your system from there and u will be good to go. Its fast and easy

Any way to stop the phone from asking to update?

If I am not mistaken we had an app on our Evo's called FOTa.apk, do a search for it in google and see what they say....I have it on my Xoom and it works fine

I am going to try shfub's method. I think he removed the .zip update file so the phone will have nothing to flash.
I don't know if it is permanent but I clicked on the notification, went to /cache, removed the .zip update file, went back to the notification, asked it to install, had it reboot to recovery and fail, and booted into android. It stopped bugging me and stopped trying to download after that.

Do the same thing, except this time, after the failed install, when you are back in Android, type in adb shell or terminal
su
pm disable com.samsung
Alternatively you could freeze System Updates in Titanium.

Stop LG/Tmobile system update?

I am running skydragon rom and unfortunately my phone downloaded an LG system update. I did not install it, but i do want to delete it and remove the reminder... Plus it's stopping me from installing some of the LG apps that have been removed...
How can this be accomplished. Thanks.

Wow.. Anybody.

I'm not sure on the location of the update, but for me, I just pulled down the notification panel, long pressed the Update notification, clicked on App Info, then unchecked notifications, clicked ok to confirm, then checked it back on.
That removed the persistent notification for the T-Mobile system update, hasn't shown up since in about 3 days time.

I tried that... It worked for a few hours then it came back.

You can always leave it unchecked, but I'm not sure what other apps use Play Services for their updates or other.

That's my worry. I think a lot of other apps use play services.

Apparently many people have said that you can disable the updates by getting into the hidden menu by typing this in the dialer: 3845#*851#
Click on WLAN Test
Go to OTA
Disable
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I hope it works for you. I accidentally downloaded the LG update as well, but for some reason the update notification is still there. super annoying!

If your rooted, you can use a root explorer and delete the update.zip file in the /cache folder. That will take care of any auto update when you reboot your phone.
Since I'm running stock, I also froze the following apps with Titanium Backup:
App Updates 4.20.100
ConfigUpdater 4.4.2-940549
LGSetupWizard 4.3.020
Update Center 4.20.100
I get a notice once in a while when I go to wifi, but I noticed that the update is no longer downloaded to the /cache folder after freezing the apps above.

[Q] How do I stop the System Update notification from popping up

Hey guys, my S3 recently downloaded some system update to my phone that I don't want. I'm rooted and I don't want to lose root. I'm not interested in the system update either. How can I remove this notification from popping up constantly? It sometimes gives me an option to click "later" under the notification which sends it away, but a new notification for the system update immediately pops up again. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have the same issue. I have no idea what this system update is, or how to turn it off.
EDIT: I think this is the NJ2 update. Strangely enough, the upgrade notification remains even after I ran the upgrade. Maybe this threat can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249350

Sweet, I think this did the trick! So far no notification! Thanks!

How to turn off update (OTA) notifications on rooted non-developer Verizon Note 4

I went through all the steps to unlock/root my Verizon Note 4. I _thought_ that included turning off all of the OTA/update stuff so that I wouldn't accidentally accept and update and destroy my hard work.
However, I got an update notification the other day, and it has persistently asked me to update every time I unlock the phone since.
How do I turn this off permanently?

Thank you. I was kinda hoping for a little more information. Which apps should be frozen to turn off the automatic updating? I thought I had everything that was OTA-related frozen already, but I obviously missed something. So I'm hoping to get a list of what I should check.

USE TITANIUM TO FREEZE "System updates 1.0" , there are two of them next to each other in the program list. Then go into TWRP recovery and wipe cache.

Thank you! I had missed one of those two. Now they're both frozen and problem solved.
