if we ever had to block an ota update whats the best way to kill the ota update reminder? i tried renaming otacert.zip to otacert.bak while on 4.1 that didn't work, thought by running cwm recovery that even if i accepted ota that it would fail sig check but nope it updated and flashed stock recovery, but kept superuser . So if i wantd to stay on 4.1 for a bit how would i go about killing the evil reminder
thanks

I am trying to apply to OTA update I got today, but for some reason it crashes half way through un-packaging the installer. Is this because I am rooted? Anyone else having an issue with the update?

What are you using to try to update? You are going to lose root if this is an OTA update.

It just came up on my phone and asked if I wanted to download it. I did, and it ask if I wanted to install. I clicked yes. It rebooted, got 1/4 of the way done with unpacking and froze up. I am guessing that its conflicting with the rooting. So I can't install any updates or I will lose root?
I don't think this update does much to anything I use.

It was mainly radios and and pri update with new software update. And yes you will lose root. You can just install a rom that is based off this ota if you really want it.

Then you can just download a rom that has it included and then pull the apk from the rom.
You NEVER want to take an OTA from Sprint if you are rooted. It will cause complications like that which may cause you to have a corrupted ROM. Always update to a ROOTED OTA. Check my stickied post in Q+A at the top. You will find the link to the stock ROOTED 3.70.651.5 version you can update along with any PRI and Radios.

How do you prevent an DInc from updating to gingerbread 2.3.4?
I'm getting a nag to restart and install. This happened once some time ago, and now it's happening again.
Has 2.3.4 been rooted yet? Last time I checked, it hadn't.
Thanks

What build version are you getting prompted to update to? If its 4.08.605.2 it's the newest that started today apparently. If I were you I would pull the file from your cache so devs could see what's in it. Also, if you have a custom recovery, it won't update, as it needs stock recovery to update. If you're S-OFF that'd help too.

So, where does it put the download. I looked everywhere for an 87.8mb file and didn't find one.

If you have root explorer it might be in your cache folder.

Hm...that's the first GB OTA that was "supposedly" (I didn't get it) pushed I Sept. but yes if you have CWM it will do the countdown to reboot, then never reboot.
Android Central's reporting another OTA being pushed out tonight.
http://www.androidcentral.com/new-gingerbread-ota-droid-incredible-being-pushed-out
mik rom inc HD is getting that update message also
Run your backup and then use root explorer and go to system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and change the name to something else and then you won't have to worry about getting it again. I'm not sure if you can get to it that way with Gingerbread but just look for the security folder and the otacerts.zip.
i just got this now and i am on skyraider.
Renaming ota certs.zip didn't work for me...
I have Skyraider 4.0 installed, with s-off, Clockwork recovery, and I'm still getting this annoying notification...any other ideas?

What exactly does this do? I opened the apk and didn't see a whole lot.
Is there any way for me to disable the automatic checking for OTA updates? I'm having the volume fix update pushed to me, but I don't want to install it because of CWM. Whenever I dismiss the notification, it just pops up again in about 20 minutes, which is quite annoying.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
yeah install it and re-install CWM... or update via CWM to something else e.g Modaco custom ROM....
If I update and re-install CWM will I lose any of the date on my phone or my settings?

Should be fine..... but if you have CWM already do a Nandroid before trying so you can restore if you need to. Not sure what you would use to flash stock recovery tho... because you can't use the update unless you are running stock recovery.
Does anyone have an answer to the original question---how to disable checking for OTA updates?

it keeps telling me there's a tmobile software update, but when i try to update, it restarts the phone and goes into clockworkmod recovery and then i just exit back to the phone and nothing happens.
how do i update it or just turn the notification off?
Download 2.3.6 stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391174) and update via odin. I did same thing.

You cannot updatee if you are rooted. If you dont want to update, I believe you can freeze the notification using BloatFreezer or similar. If you do want to update you can either (1) do so via Kies or (2) un-root and then update ota. Either way you will be unrooted and have to re-root
i did update to 2.3.6 when i received the OTA and I click update and realize that i am rooted (root using superoneclick). I let the update goes through and after few minutes, my sgs2 is updated to 2.3.6 with wifi calling and great battery life. I think i will stay stock rooted until Nick (dev for Miui vibrant) made Miui for SGS2
Edit: Like everyone said, every phone is not created equal. Like mine, got updated even its rooted

I tried an app called voodoo OTA rootkeeper, I got it to temp-unroot my phone but after a restart it went into clockworkmod recovery. i restarted it again and it went back into unrooted mode.
i also cannot find bloatfreezer on android market.

Look at Page 13 of same thread. There is full description.
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus that i manually updated to 4.0.4, i'm just wondering how i can now get root back?
I restored root with Voodoo OTA root keeper however i do not appear to actually have root, despite it saying that i do and still having the super user application installed.
Screens: http://i40.tinypic.com/5v1y05.png and http://i42.tinypic.com/156ffdh.png
How would i go about getting root back? I have tried running superboot again which is how i originally rooted, however my phone appears to get stuck on the screen with the unlocked padlock if i attempt that: http://android.modaco.com/topic/348161-01-feb-r4-superboot-rooting-the-gsm-lte-galaxy-nexus/
Any help would be appreciated,
Cheers
to root... download su.zip and flash in recovery
this su.zip is the newer one
http://db.denh.am/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Do i need a customer recovery for that? my boot loader is unlocked and i had the stock rom rooted. I never flashed any customer recovery as i believe it disabled OTA updates?

After installing 4.0.5:
Use the Galaxy nexus Toolkit and select the option to "Boot to CWM without flashing recovery". And just use CWM to flash su.zip for root. Thats what I did.
Stock 4.0.4 - Rooted Galaxy Nexus.
link not working
The link is not available:-(
"Error (404)
We can't find the page you're looking for. Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home."
After you flash clockwork and superuser just reboot your phone and the stock recovery will be restored. You have to delete a file to make the custom recovery stick.
hi, as I said in other topic , for rooting i use GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKIT 5.1 ! all work fine
at opening tell you have 4.0.2 ICL53F, and then choose 4 for root

Tried all the above: the su.zip does it's job but it is not rooted, in toolkit I choose root phone and does nothing. How do I do it manually with an insecure boot? I'm on 4.04 GSM.

I understand that OTA RootKeeper is to keep root when you receive an OTA update. Not if you manually update (the app description in google play says this). Has anyone tried OTA RootKeeper, gotten the 4.0.4 OTA update and stayed rooted? I myself will wait for the 4.0.4 OTA update and have installed RootKeeper. Will I keep root if done this way?

In Android 4.0.4 this is not necessary.
Custom recovery will not be overwritten after reboot.
If you flash Clockworkmod via fastboot,it will remain,and you can flash Superuser.
Hey guys I am A BIG NEWBIE so don't judge lol.
I had root with 4.0.2 and had the OTA 4.0.4 update and lost the root. I tried to get root back the same way I got my original one (with fastboot-windows) but does not seem to work.
Any help?
