I have the stock ROM, hardly modified except root and busybox. My updates download but do not install, saying the device has been modified. That's all fine and dandy, but WHERE does it download the update.zip so I can apply it using Mobile Odin? I hate downloading whole firmwares due to a shaky internet connection. Or a way to disable the message about modification?
If you downloaded with a browser look for a folder named download either in internal or on sd.

You can't locate it in routine folder, as it saves in fota folder, and once it failed it may not be available longer there.
Even supposed it will be there (you need to reroot to find it) and find it, it surely won't work with Mobile odin, so don't waste your time.
This can happens when your device is priory rooted, even it can't be solve with unroot
You have to factory reset, even after factory reset it's not guaranteed.
Try this
-clear data from setting - application manager - all - software update (you will find two), after clearing data reboot and check for update
If still not work
-factory reset and check
If still not works
-flash any older rom you have already downloaded with pc odin, then it should work

I've seen people mention using titanium backup to freeze the device manager or updater app. Something to that effect.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
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.

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!

I don't know if this would work. I've suggested it a number of times but no one ever told me for sure they even tried it.
My theory is something was corrupted when the system was loaded at the factory. This should mean that re flashing the firmware through Odin may fix it.
You can get the firmware and instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
You can download Odin here:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294523684
You do not need to be rooted to flash with Odin. You will have the option of using the original, out of the box, system build, or you can use the updated firmware so that you will be up to date and won't require the OTA update (recommend this choice).
If you don't want to do this then my best suggestion is to backup your data, apps and internal sd. Then from settings menu do a Factory Reset. Though I doubt this will help if it is a probkem with the system side.
Hope this helps.

If you were rooted, it would have been a simple deletion of a folder. Since you are not, I guess you could try the method from poster 2...otherwise you'll just have to do a factory reset.

A number of people have had this problem and were not able to fix it by using any of the clear data/cache methods or by deleting the contents of or the entire /data/clipboard folder.
That and a lot of them said it had been a problem out of the box, which is why I began to suspect something was corrupted / not working right in the system itself. Rooted or not, at that point the best solution is probably to reflash the firmware.
Its easier than having to manually restore all of your apps and data after a reset imo!

Hello
I rooted my Optimus G F180L and uninstalled some of the preinstalled apps.
Today I got a Software Update for my phone which I downloaded and was about 50 Mb.
When I tried to install it gave me an error that a rooted device couldn't be OTA updated.
Then I removed root from the SuperSu app but it gives me the same error as if it was still rooted.
I'm guessing it is because of uninstalling those apps.
If that's correct now I'd need to return it back to stock which i don't dare to do without being 100% sure I wont mess it up.
Would a factory reset do the work (how to do it?) or do I need to flash the whole stock ROM?
Any help highly appreciated!!
try to factory reset your phone, if that don't work maybe reflash or check with your phone carrier before doing anything else, maybe they haven't received the update yet.
Because when i run stock rom, i could receive OTA updates even while it was rooted
Would the factory reset bring back even the apps I deleted?

yes, a factory reset brings the phone back to stock, which is how it came out from the LG factory, but only if you run the original LG rom ofc which you do.

you can use a program like Titanium Backup (it requires root), if you wanna save data of the apps you got installed, if you wanna save contacts you can export them to an xml to storage and copy out, and sms' i personally use "SMS Backup & Restore" from Ritesh Sahu does the job good, as long as you don't got any drafting messages.

hmm, that i never have seen before, but if you want you can download the newest original firmware here: http://lge-phones.org/check-latest-lg-official-firmware
used the site a couple of times myself for my E975 and then flash the whole rom.
because i never had a problem, but maybe it's just different in some countries.
but if you decide to use LG's flashing tool remember to backup your data on your computer, or else they will be lost because LG's tool formats the phone totally.

Hi guys I have a question regarding my recent root of my s4 on kit kat. This is what I did, I rooted with cf-auto-root and everything went smooth supersu is installed and working, then I installed twrp 2700 amd did my 1st nandroid backup and included efs in the options in the backup. So I copied over the whole folder to my external sd to make space for a titanium backup but titanium is telling me that it cannot continue due to not having sufficient space for the whole backup. Then I tried making titanium backup to my ext. Sd but it wont allow it cause the folder is not writable or something like that. So when I try to delete the twrp folder from the device I cannot it doesnt allow me to erase it not with the my files app nor with the es file expl. App.
Soo....
1. I cannot backup with titanium because not enough space. Also I cannot make titanium backup files to my ext sd.
2. I cannot erase twrp backup with regular file manager apps includin my file app.
This is what I want to do:
Since I copied over twrp folder to ext sd, now I want to make a full titanium backup so I can factory reset my phone and then restore data from titanium.
Also I want to know:
1. Can nandroid backups be erased and how?
2. Why cant titanium make backup and save them on the ext sd? Is it possible?
If anything else rises I will post it!
Thanks in advanced guys

damn man, im so tired of twrp this is so far the crappiest recovery ive seen cause the date and time are impossible to change to an accurate one cause even when you select the timezone it is not your time. also the date when you do a nandroid backup the year is all wrong.
when i recently had the accident that the phone didnt wanna boot i tried restoring from backup but no success, also when you go to the phone settings and try to factory restore the phone through the regular phone settings, it reboots the phone into the twrp recovery then it hangs and start getting HOT and never does anything. also lts say you had a folder labeled "Old Folder" on your internal sdcard/ device storage, if you do a factory restore from the recovery which is supposed to wipe the user data from the internal partition once the phone reboots and open the file manager of choice you will find that all the previous junk is still there including the "Old Folder".
thats my opinion, why i dont like this twrp recovery and the way its implemented into the SGS4.
if you or anyone can please redirect me to a Good, stable, usable, and fully working custom recovery up to date and for the Tmo US SGS4, then please fell free to give me a hand.
and im appologize to the developer of this recovery but thats my opion and why i dislike it cause i already hada bad experience with it.
Thanks in advanced and sorry again!!!
busybox
i think that my recently rooted s4 doesnt have busybox installed. so is there an specific busybox for this model or anyone would do? any recomendations since i saw a couple on the Play Store?
thanks in advanced
To wipe internal data in twrp you select wipe data or internal SD.. That's how it should be.. and for the dates and names, you can rename it to whatever you want so you can put the date yourself.. I actually like twrp.. For busybox try busybox on rail in the playstore

Did a full wipe including extsd and internal storage. Odin installed Bennys stock rooted rom and Twrp. Showed factory mode on first boot, did it all again, no love. Installed paid version of root explorer, it shows EFS as empty folder. Tried mounting EFS in Twrp, will not allow me to check the box.
