[How-to] Disable FF18 OTA update from downloading and bugging you (beta)

Is anyone interested in testing a simple cwm update.zip that will disable the FF18 OTA update so it stops bugging you?
I tested the install under EL29+CWM-Rogue but it should work for other CWM variants.
It will theoretically disable your phone from thinking it needs to download the current OTA updates (including EK02, EL29, and FF18)
My phone hasn't been selected for FF18 so I haven't been able to confirm it'll skip that one, but it should.
http://little-melon.com/sfhub/update-disable-ota.zip
There are actually 2 processes going on with the OTA update.
The first process checks with the Google servers to figure out if your phone should download an OTA update.
The second process takes over once an OTA download is complete and starts bugging you all the time.
This will bypass the first process, but if you already have the OTA update downloaded and your phone is bugging you, this won't disable that. To get rid of that either remove the OTA update from you /cache directory and choose to install or press "More Info", then pull your battery. Normally that'll get rid of the OTA update for a few days, but if you run the update.zip above, it should not come back at all (until the next OTA update)

Well ideally, you've already been selected to download the FF18 OTA update.
You'd just place the update.zip on your internal or external SD, boot into CWM recovery (or Rogue CWM), select install zip, choose the file, and confirm.
After you reboot, you should have a /system/build.prop and a /system/build.prop-backup
Assuming you do, the update did its thing.
Your phone should then not download the FF18 update. If you didn't have the change (and were selected for the FF18 update) within a few days of canceling the update, it would download again (slowing down your internet and eating your battery) then incessantly bug you about the update, and I think eventually automatically installing it.
If you were selected for the FF18 OTA update, installed this update.zip, and didn't see the FF18 update prompt for a week, then that confirms you won't be seeing the update again (until the next OTA update)

Yes, the process that checks for updates should tell the google servers you are on FF18 and the servers will tell your phone there is nothing newer.

Is there a way to do this with stock EL29 plus root. I am not running CWM recovery or anything, just stock el29 + root.
I do not want the OTA ICS update.

After it was tested a little I was going to add it to auto root. There is a shell script included in the update.zip which you can run from adb shell
su
/system/bin/sh disable-ota-update.sh
You could also just use Auto Root to install CWM, run the update.zip, then use Auto Root to install stock EL29 kernel back.

I have been selected after going back to el29. I definitely want to try this later however I am being nagged to do the install. So I guess I need to find this file in the cache and remove it.

Place the update.zip on your sdcard, then when it is nagging you, click on More Info, then pull your battery. Then boot to recovery and apply the update.zip.
It should no longer try and download the update and thus with nothing downloaded, won't nag you again.

Works great. I also went into settings and tried to manually check for Android updates, it states that I already have latest version. Thanks!!
Edit: A few reboots and all is good.
Before I nandroided back I tried it out just to see what would happen, everything worked as expected. However, the downloaded OTA file was removed/deleted after applying the patch. And the nag screen was gone. Placebo perhaps?

Once it installs, it will remove the update from cache. That is expected behavior.
If it didn't install right, some time in the future (usually a few days) it'll try again, contacting the Google server and asking if there is a newer update than your current.
Now with the update.zip you just ran above, when it checks for something newer, it will be asking, is there something newer than FF18, to which the Google server will say no, nothing newer, so your phone won't download the update again and nag you, like it would if you didn't run the update.zip above.

Thanks again, sounds like you have it completely automated. Great work! I will keep this a day or two and then move to ics for a bit to test. I really don't expect any issues, but will let you know if I ran across anything.

Don't know what superfreeze does. This just tells google that you are already on FF18 even if you are not. Nothing is being frozen.

Questions with ota and root

long time evo user, noob at the s3. I rooted my dad's phone because he needed wifi tether, but he is freaked out about accidentally applying an ota and bricking his phone. Can I disable ota checks or restore the stock recovery while keeping root? Thanks!

You can always install OTA RootKeeper and have it back everything up. I used it for the first time last night before updating my wife's S3 and it worked great.

Did you have a stock recovery or can you install the updates over a custom one?

recommended way
Is to just flash the lg8 modem posted in the development section and then suppress the update notification by flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1244277&d=1344225893 or by flashing the legit update and flashing this after to keep root http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip. if you didnt modify system you can copy the legit update from cache to sd and flash in cwm

Okay thanks so much! If I did install that ota mod is there a way to receive updates again? What would happen if he accidentally clicked install now and let the phone attempt to install the ota with cwm installed? Would it brick or would it be fine?

No you wont brick. And the mod only makes u look up to date so any future update will come thru as normal.
If u hit install with cwm And ur system is unmodified it will probably finish but will get rid of root thats what the root from recovery zip is for. Def no brick tho.

Thanks soo much Okay so if he just accepts an update the phone will automatically update through cwm but will get rid of root? So he has nothing to worry about except losing root if sammy sends out an ota.

Ya and thats saying that the update finishes. Worst that will happen is root is gone. If the system was modified or something dont match the checks the update does, the update will fail and nothing will change. But i can assure you, it will not hardbrick u. Ur In samsung country now lol and that has never ever happened with a samsung to my knowledge. Like i said In first post tho definatly recomend coming here for the update (usually a modem) flash it manually, and avoid the ota altogether. But hitting the install button wont hurt you.

I've found this is much easier. Zedomax has a rooted LG8 stock ROM up for download. Just flash, clear cache and you're ready to go. (note that if you have any flashed mods such as a CPU editor or the Google Now on ICS mod you will have to reflash)

Do you mean it stays stock recovery? Or does it fail when flashing?
If its the first one, and you're still rooted delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p

OTA Updating help! -Rooted Stock to Jelly Bean

Hey XDA!
As most of us know, Wind released Jelly Bean OTA last night.
I'm having trouble updating my IC (Rooted stock firmware) -> Jelly Bean (Rooted stock firmware)
This is what happens:
My S3 downloads the software update. - Completed.
*Reboots
Starts installing. Until it Fails and shows..
---
CWM- Based Recovery V5.5.0.4
E: Invalid command argument
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
---
Then i choose the option 'reboot system now'
I'm back to my IC- Stock Rooted (Old software)
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Greatly Appreciated!

If I'm not mistaken you have to un root(voodoo) and use stock recover to do OTA. Or just dl the pre-rooted OTA and Odin.

Yes that will work aswell. But all my settings and +2000 pictures will be removed etc.
From what I understand. I need to remove CWM and it should be able to update like normal. Once it's gone, I can update like you suggested, but will still have everything on my phone. I may loose the root, but apparently it's easy to get back.
Your thoughts?

Hey Kalm,
I see what you mean. And the root66 JB is released for the t999 version of the sammy s3.
Mine is the T999V. And build is VLALH2.
Would there be an issue with that?
*sorry for the delay in response. My account has a 5min delay due to being a relatively 'new user'

Guys this is usually the difference about upgrading using stock firmware between OTA and desktop Odin.
Stock rooted with CWM + OTA jellybean = fail
Stock rooted with stock recovery + OTA jellybean = success but loose root
Stock rooted with CWM + Odin stock jellybean = success but loose root and CWM
Stock rooted with stock recovery + Odin stock jellybean = success but loose root.

That's correct, if you Odin the root66 you will keep root and will loose only CWM (that can be reinstalled again). My T999V was rooted with superuser and when I Odin root66 jellybean it added superSU (Wich comes with root66), therefore I ended up with both, not a big deal to solve but something to keep in mind.

Oh I see. I assume you used ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 ) the T-mobile UVDLJA. As Jelly Bean is only released for that model.
I was asking to figure out if you were on another network, and used a t-mobile software version on your phone to pull off Jelly Bean. Or even if that possible.
What you did, is ideally what i want to do. But Im on the Wind network and that link doesn't show a release for JB anywhere for that provider. Does that mean I'm out of luck?

Side note:
I keep getting a popup to software update to Jelly Bean. Which i naively try once a while and keeps failing.
Does anyone know how to stop this notification from showing up. Just need to remove it temporarily until the main issue of upgrading gets solved

It looks like he has some updates for Wind on that page as well, but I'm not sure if they're JB or not...or rooted for that matter. I'm sure it is possible to use the Tmo file to upgrade and modify something to let the phone still work on Wind's network though.

It wont download with your phone rooted. Only way to get rid of it is to do what everyone else has said, If you dont want to do what they suggest you can either deal with the messages or unroot your phone and update it. Sorry if this isnt what you are looking for, but their are no other solutions

I didn't understand that it wouldn't update with the phone being rooted. Now that makes sense. Although it will download it will just error out if your phone is already rooted right?
Then after updating is it possible to reroot the phone again or is this latest update to keep users unrooted to begin with?

So only modification to your phone is root? Deleting sprint apks will not allow you to do an OTA update.
Have you gone into the cache partition using a root file explorer and deleted the update.zip file?
If yes to above 2 answers,
Right after deleting the file, reboot the phone and turn on wifi.
Go to settings, system updates and check for firmware update.
It should show downloading update...
Let it download and then install. Make sure phone is charged.
If this doesn't work, you will have to UNROOT using a FI27 one click that preserves your user data. Once you are unrooted, try OTA update again.
I do have a question, Why do you want OTA update if you are going to be rooted? Installing OTA update will unroot.

As far as I know yes the only change is the phone is rooted and I have gone into the cache folder and deleted the update.zip. I have already rebooted the phone and tried checking for software updates, but I'm always told that I have the latest version, kernel 3.0.15-1127689.
I remember having an OTA update before and it working just fine, it was a long time ago so maybe I'm wrong?
I only want the OTA update to get the latest version. I'd prefer Jelly Bean, but I think that isn't even available for Epic4GTouch or ever will be. So if unrooting to get the update and then being stuck unrooted, and the latest update really doesn't fix/add anything then I may as well just leave it as is.

My phone can't seem to update to FL24. Can anyone offer suggestions on what else to try? Details below. Thanks!
When I try to update, I get this message...
assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/lib/libbcc.so", "fb37ab28e20c960e4b94fb45778aff0c36c5c9b4", "1b6e79161909f3eb52200a978e7274831b5b7162")
E:Error in /cache/35935f252780.update_SPH-D710_FI27_to_FL24.zip
(Status 7)​
I've tried
Settings -> Applications - > All -> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data
Wait
Settings -> System Updates -> Update Samsung Software​as suggested on Android Central
and I've tried wiping the cache.
My phone is completely stock (as far as i know!)
Here's some specs that might be useful to someone who knows what they mean:

SPH-D710
Android Version
4.0.4

If your phone is completely stock then you need a custom recovery to flash a ROM
Edit: nvm I just read more closely, you might just be getting a bad download..try it on wifi. But if you wamt to root you would need/want a custom recov.
