Did it start after you deleted/uninstalled a system app? Possibly with TB?
2 minutes on google.....
Apparently it's a copy/paste bug a TON of people have had.
1) Factory Restore your device
2) ROOT your device, install ROOT Explorer, navigate to / > data > clipboard, select ALL and delete all, than go into your Settings > Applications Manager > All, look for TestServices, than remove updates/clear data. Reboot and everything should be fine.
And please next time you post a problem at least say what rom you're on. Are you stock? Rooted? What kernel?
You shouldn't have to factory reset. If you factory reset...the clipboard will be cleared...so, you're doing twice the work. I've had this issue. just delete the clipboard folder and reboot.
I copy and pasted that it's option 1 or 2. From now on people can search for themselves sheesh.

You need to slow down, I did google search and I do not have the copy and paste bug. I'm rooted I'm stock and I clear my clipboard out every single day. I'm well aware to use Google before posting a question here, I didnt find my answer on google so I came and asked here.

Because I didn't need to, if you would have dug a little deeper you would have found out the copy and paste bug along with the error I'm getting have nothing to do with each other. So before you come on somebody's post and Bash them for not using Google and not trying to find the answer there self maybe you should investigate your answer more thoroughly, plain and simple end a story.

Wow are you sure that solves this issue? Or you were busier bashing the op ad forgot that your post shows verh clearly how dumb you are since your fix is totally unrelated to his issue? @op you probably deleted one of the test.apk apps inside the system-app folder. Just go to the rom zip file and go to system then app then find all apps that have the word test in them grab those and push them into the system - app of your phone. Use root explored make sure to change permissions accordingly.

Hi,
I stupidly deleted an system app 'Flash' to be precise while experimenting with Titanium Backup. Firstly I updated the default Flash to the new 10.1 then integrated it to the ROM then decided I wanted to undo this, but can't find and option to do this procedure.
Please can some one help me restore my HTC Desire default flash.
Just to note backup doesn't seem to restore anything.
Thanks.

If it was a .APK that you deleted, the easiest option is to us ADB push command to put it back on the phone.
You would need to source it first, but you should find it if you extract you ROM.ZIP file.
Could you kindly tell me, how I may do this?

Post exactly which ROM you are using and i'll remove it for you and post it up
hmm flash. If only we had a unified place where we could collect all such third party apps. It could have a search function, menus and maybe even paid apps. Then people in need of an app could just find it here and install it right away.
Ohh wait it's called the market.
If the app is gone, you should be able to install it from the market and afterwards you can move the .apk file to the system partition.

If only you read my question properly. Unfortunately, your attempt of sarcasm has failed. So, please stop.
For those of you out there looking to remove the update notification either because you have a custom rom or you don't like fixing what isn't broken, here's a step by step guide on how to remove update notifications and prevent them from returning:
Solution:
Step 1. Delete the update located in /cache/fota/ (may be /data/fota) and then click the update notification prompt to install it, it will instantly fail and the notification will disappear.
Step 2. Disable Otacerts.zip located in /etc/security by renaming it to otacerts.zip.bak
Step 3. Disable FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk by renaming with .bak extensions located in /system/app/
Step 4. Reboot
FWUpgrade.apk may be the only file you need to disable to prevent future notifications, but I disable all just in case.
In app management Disable Software Update.

Download an APP called Titanium Backup from playstore..
it gives you an option to "FREEZE" an application..
Go into the application and "FREEZE" software update. It should do the trick!

Holy crap, it worked, thank you so much!!!
I couldn't find this information anywhere after hours of searching, so for anyone else looking into this, the update.zip to delete is located in /cache/fota and requires root access.

Question though, if you do this without disabling the app will it eventually notify you again? Or is disabling the app not even necessary?

After implementing this fix, I noticed a new file created In the /cache/fota/ directory titled fota.status. This may be some kind of deactivation placeholder to prevent the system from re-downloading the update after installation failure.
In trying to figure this out, I dug up a ton of information on preventing the download. This may help in the event the notification returns:
One post said to disable otacerts.zip located in /etc/security by renaming it otacerts.zip.bak
Another said to delete (though renaming with .bak extension should disable) FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk located in /system/app/
Note: These methods did not stop the notification, they appear to only effect checking for updates and downloading.
Good to know. Thanks!
Did the fota.status file have anything in it? In root explorer if you long press the file you can open in text viewer.

you will still need to disable the software update process. (Will have two arrows as an icon in titanium backup, freeze it)
Once that's disabled, then you delete the update and mock install it. When it fails it should not bother you anymore.
You can verify it by going into settings>about> then check for update, it will do nothing.

If you rename /system/app/FWUpgrade.apk with .bak extension and restart, it effectively disables software update without the need for Titanium Backup. Unfortunately only the Pro version of Titanium Backup can freeze running programs.
UPDATE:
My friend just told me that the notification came back for him. I've disabled the 3 aforementioned files on my phone and he will re-implement the fix and do the same. I will report back if the notification returns but I'm confident that they won't.

Not totally necessary but you could also edit the thread tiitle and put [SOLVED] in front of the original.

Disable software update notification in Galaxy Tab 2 ICS
I am using samsung galaxy tab 2 3100 on ICS. Thers a software update automatically downloaded and ready for upgrading it to JB. But i dont want to update.
How do i disable/cancel the update notification?
simple way of disabling OTA update message
[root access is not needed]
Just go to applications find Software update and clear all data then stop Auto_Updates from setting/about phone/software update
My phone is Galaxy S2. :good:
So there have been posts about this in the past but none of them have been ansewered recently so i figured i'd ask again...
My T-Mobile Galaxy S3 is fine, but my girlfriends is messed up. She can't copy and paste. I just tried it my self. Holding down on say, for example, a url in chrome, and tapping copy causes chrome to force close.
I understand the only ways to fix it at this point seem to be factory reset (really a major pain in the ass... what with having to reenter all her info and passwords and everything) or rooting and then do a list of commands i found on various threads (really don't want her to have to root her brand new phone that is otherwise running great).
this really sucks. anyone know any newer methods to fix this? it's really ridiculous.
You could flash one of the official firmwares via odin. This will basically rewrite the system and a few other partitions while leaving data intact. If somethings corrupted on the system side, this should fix it by overwriting with good uncorrupted files.
And if you haven't updated to UVALJ4 yet you could get that at the same time.
If its something in the user data partition, then finding the responsible app and clearing data/cache may work. Otherwise you'd have to factory reset...

You need to be rooted though to do this.
Do this and it should work.
1. boot recovery (CWM) > advanced > wipe cache
2. reboot phone > Root Explorer > delete /data/clipbord/*
3. reboot recovery again > advanved > fix permissions
4. reboot phone > it's fine

oh i'm sorry, that's my bad i thought that flashing odin thing had to do with rooting or something. thanks, i'll look into that... one thing though is she just got the newest ota update last night and that didn't fix the problem. is that a bad sign that this might not work?

You can flash the stock firmware with odin without root.
Not necessarily, if there's a corrupted system file the ota simply may not have patched it, or patched a different part of it leaving the root cause of the problem intact. Keep in mind, my suggestion may not help at all. Its just another option for you in trying to find a fix.

Hi,
Currently on Task650's latest AOKP, Is there any way I can backup and restore my AOKP system and ROM settings?
Also, a somewhat unrelated question. I know Google Play keep track of every app you've downloaded and from there one can easily reinstall everything lost post clean flash. I also know there is an option where apps are immediately reinstalled upon logging into Google account, post clean flash. I was wondering if I could customize that list before everything begins to automatically reinstall? It is because I don't use every app I've downloaded before. I've downloaded hundreds of apps, but only really use like 20.
Thanks!
Use the search feature it comes in handy...
You can back up your rom and rom settings with your recovery and the only way to select which apps you want is to uncheck there "restore all apps" when booting up your device and manually downloading them.

I love how people just automatically assume you don't search. I did search. Didn't find what I was looking for, so I'm here. Plus I had more than just the one question.
I've explored my recovery (TW) and the only backup I can see is a partition backup, where the system partition alone, for me anyways, is more than twice the size of the ROM. What I was asking was just settings and settings only. Maybe there is an option for CWM that isn't available in TW?

Here is how I fixed it go into TB preferences > Backup Folder Location
1. Next hit Back button till you are in the root folder of your device "/" ( this at the top)
2. Next click sdcard
3. Then click on the "Titanium Backup" folder. Top should say "/sdcard/ Titanium Backup"
4 . Then click use this folder
I have had the problem before as well. I suspect it is related to an old restore, but not sure. This always fixes it for me:
1. Unistall the app
2. Using Root Explorer go to System/Data/app-lib
3. Find and delete all references to the app you deleted
4. Open the Play store and re-install.
This can be done without uninstalling. When you navigate to app-lib you'll find multiple versions of the app mentioned. You keep only one (delete any duplicates), then go to System/ Data /Dalvik-cache and delete the same duplicates (if you kept -2 in app-lib, keep -2 in Dalvik). Wiping dalvik in recovery won't work. It regenerates at re-boot with the dups at least it did for me).
I have had success with both methods, but find the 1st method always works & the 2nd method does not, as it is easy to miss a copy in dalvik. The Dalvik versions are deleted for you with the uninstall so I find it simpler.
I spent weeks looking for this solution a while back for my GNex so I hope I've saved you a headache or two.

This is basically how I fixed the problem on my N4 and N10 as well. Basically, you're backing up to the same location, it's just that TiBu doesn't like the old file path (for me, it was: /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup) and wants you to use a different one (for me, it is: /storage/sdcard0/TitaniumBackup).

I have had the same problem since moving from CM 10.1 to CM 10.2. Seems my super su also wants to update binaries after every nightly flash. Can't update binaries normal way so I flash them in TWRP. After the supersu flash, my titanium backup works perfectly.
I've tried everything except re flashing the phone. Nothing at all works, and I'm at the end of my rope. EDIT: Here's the only thing that fixed it! Downloaded SuperSU, allowed it to boot into recovery to update the binary, and now TIBU works fine! That was the ONLY solution that worked.
