I have a rooted Galaxy 2 and want the updates prompt to be turned off. Is there an easy way to do that? I have titanium pro but I don't know which program to remove/freeze.
Been a topic on it, but get terminal emulator and then
Su
Pm disable com.samsung
From what I recall at least. The only thing is that you won't be able to do profile/prl updates either

Just freeze system updates with titanium backup.....or with the free version....backup system updates then uninstall it....that way you can always restore it for future use

Doesn't work that well.
Freezing does nothing at all to prevent it for me. And uninstalling, it'll just come back after a week.
after you uninstall system updates it will come back and ask you to update. if you have a kernel with cwm it won't let it install. so when the prompt comes up push update now. when it gets to the screen where it loads and freezes push and hold power until it reboots. it should go into recovery. when you are there wipe cache and dalvik. reboot system. it should not come back.

I've seen people mention using titanium backup to freeze the device manager or updater app. Something to that effect.

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.

Will anything else be affected if you freeze that app?

I've had mine frozen for a couple days to avoid getting that notification, and haven't experienced any fc's or other problems.

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!
Freeze device manager.

Here's how I fixed it. Use a root explorer. Navigate to system/app and delete / backup both wssysync files. Reboot . Problem solved

I'm running miks 3.0 ROM every time I go to the market and i search something or try and download something it says error connection time out what does that mean and how can I fix it....
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Does it happen on WiFi as well? Try going to settings> apps find the market and clear cache and data for the market. Reboot and try again. That fixes most market problems. If that doesn't do it, use titanium backup to uninstall market updater. (Make backup first) then go back to settings > apps and uninstall updates, reboot and try again. Uninstalling market updater will keep the market from trying to auto update if its a particular version you are having trouble with.

Sometimes a simple battery pull does the trick, it basically does a soft reset. A lot simpler and would try that first.
My phone has rooted stock, MA7. It's been through one update without a problem. I just had to restore root. On the second OTA update, I tried Root Keeper. I kept root, but the update will not apply. It starts the update and a red exclamation mark appears on the droid and it reboots. No update applies.
Now, I am reminded over and over to take an OTA, 28.5MB in size. It fails every time I try.
How can I apply the latest update to my rooted stock? If not possible, is there a way to turn off the reminder?
When you applied root did you also install a different recovery? That would cause a fail. Bte the update isnt all that. Either way to remove notification go into titanium backup. Freeze system update. Exit. Then reboot to recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. Done and done

I am using standard recovery. No custom recovery loaded.
Thanks for the info on freezing. I can freeze for now but I think I will have a problem at next update.

Actually freezing stops the ota notification indefinitely. Be aware in order to update prl and profile you will have to temporarily unfreeze that app.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Freezing software update didn't fix it. It keeps coming back. I tried swiping notification away and then freeze and tried choosing Install Later and freezing. Neither works.
When I get app info on the notification, it brings me to Google services framework. Can't freeze that.
Any way to flash the update via recovery or some other way to apply?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Did you wipe cache like I said to after freezing the app?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Whoops. Missed that step. I went ahead and cleared data. We'll keep on eye on it. Thanks again!
All you have to do is delete /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and clear caches and reboot. You will never get it again.
Wrong thread.

I had a same problem. I searched threads and found latest rooted firmware. I used odin and phone connected to pc. My memory is not greatest today but I think I was called Mr Robinson 66 or something very similar. Ota root keeper doesnt work with latest update.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
An update on this. Looks like I had to rename the otacerts file and reboot to get it to go away. Freezing system update and clearing data might have been a part of it too.
I'm not sure this is the right thread... but....
Right now I am using a note 2.... Over time it's gotten choppy, slow, non responsive and force closing apps. I rooted it to try to get rid of what people call Bloat Ware but I don't know how. Can anyone help me figure out how to delete some Bloat ware?

I would say you have two options.
Root device, install custom Rom.
Or
Root device install titanium backup, or similar software and uninstall or freeze apps which might be bloat.
Sometimes a factory reset does the trick, but you need to back up your data.

I already have superuser. And I think titanium. All I do is go in titanium and stop what seems like bloat?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yup, but it may be more than that. I suggest backup data, apps that you want to keep, freeze unnecessary apps, then do factory reset. If you have cwm or twrp just do a backup in case
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
Good advice given above: nandroid backup, use TiBU to freeze apps and use your phone for a few days, then delete frozen apps.
Why freeze then try for a few days? Because sometimes apps are intertwined with the system, and deleting them can bring down your system.
This thread may be a bit out of date and for a different carrier, but it will give you an idea of where to start with freezing applications via Titanium Backup or something similar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025134
I definitely recommend backing up your important data before going on a freezing frenzy. There is a lot which can be frozen, though.
If you are rooted, make sure you have a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery and reboot. That may help with the laginess of your phone.
I was rooted earlier on, and had frozen some apps via titanium backup, by doing this I had disabled OTA updates.
I have restored stock firmware (keeping data) by using a KDZ file, but now when I go to software updates in settings, I just see app updates, there is no way to check for OS updates?
Anyway I can re-enable this? I guess doing a full wipe and flash would re-enable it.
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
It seems like my frozen apps have carried over even though I flashed stock software. Short of re-rooting and unfreezing, is there anyway I can unfreeze them while unrooted?
I went into the hidden menu and pressed ELT test, and it force closes. This was definitely one of the apps I froze.
Any ideas?
