Ok the system update crap has been driving me nuts.
so I finally got the deodex rooted ma7 update for the Note II (sprint) and its STILL bugging me about a system update ??
what gives? I installed deodex ma7 and ma7 modem.
am I missing something?
Accept the update, it will fail harmlessly and not ask you again.

The post above is correct. However to answer your question its bugging you to update cause the latest is MC2

Update. It will ask again in a few days. So it's not a very good answer. I believe there is an apk you can remove or freeze but I don't know what it is off hand. Sorry.

I didn't stay on the rom I was running long enough to see if it will ask again. Thx for pointing that out. But if you're running deodexed stock just install deodex stock mc2. Theres also the flashable mc2 modem and kernel. Its all in our android development section.

Installing MC2 is one way, but since MC2 kills both Wallet and your battery, I don't think it's a super great option.
Found an app called System Update, but so far even uninstalling it does not prevent the notification.
blargh...
I've now backed up and un-installed System Update, Smart Device Manager, Sprint DM Service, Sprint Installer, SysScope, Sprint Zone, and still, the notification is there upon reboot.
Logcat Extreme shows some weird stuff at the moment. It's showing something called SystemUpdateService verifying that the update zip is downloaded into /cache, but then it's also showing an error that says SystemUpdateService application does not exist. So what's running then? Maybe a dalvik cached copy. I'm going to reboot into twrp and wipe cache and dalvik and we'll see...

The APK you're looking for is FWUpgrade.apk
-go to /cache
-delete update file
-go to system/app
-Rename FWUpgrade.apk to FWUpgrade.apk.bak
-Accept the update and attempt to run(it will end the count down and do nothing)
-reboot phone and it'll never ask you again to update

So far as we know so far that's correct.
Possible exception that I haven't tested myself or seen anyone else yet either:
The xposed framework hack and any normal market version of Wallet doesn't work so far.
But there is another way to get working Wallet which is to use a patched wallet apk that doesn't need xposed framework. I am currently using that patched wallet apk and no xposed framework. Maybe that version will work on mc2 or maybe not. I haven't seen anyone say about it yet. All I've seen is that the regular market version of wallet plus xposed framework which works on ma7 does not work on mc2.
Battery life dont really seem much different to I me. And I never use wallet much anyhow.

Well... es explorer says there are no files in /cache including not the filename that logcat clearly shows. Yes I have show hidden files in settings and yes I'm rooted.
And... I already have no such apk named FWUpgrade.apk anywhere.
So I'm rather mystified. Because I still get the notification even after wiping both cache and dalvik in twrp and rebooting.

...ok so after all this, with all these apks deleted and the cache empty etc, then I went to the notification and accepted the update one more time, it failed of course. And now finally I think that cleared it.
So it's not enough to accept the update and let it fail.
It's not enough to delete (or freeze or rename etc) one or more apk's.
You have to do both. Disable the apk(s). Wipe cache or delete files in /cache. THEN accept the update and let it fail.

Thanks. I will stay on ma7 since I use Google wallet often. Plus the only real issue I'm having is the home button issue and sometimes the show gallery. Both I can deal with.
Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
Still no more notification.
Yay!
Now just to figure out which of those eleventy-seven apk's I removed was the only one that actually mattered....
Maybe one of them was named FWUpdate.apk as the other Brian mentioned, and I just never saw it's filename because I was seeing the package name in Titanium or System Tuner Pro instead and maybe already uninstalled it before he posted.

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!

Yeah, the same happens on my NS4G but I've found that leaving the Play Store app pulling down the notification bar while it's updating and leaving the screen on helps. It sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries but it usually works eventually.

It has something to do with stored ODEX file (i am not sure what it means). One solution I found is to install lucky patcher app and just open it. It will delete the unused ODEX files and you wont see the issue again.

I never found the .ODEX file, but in /data/app with ES File Explorer I found the .apk of the program and just deleted that. I then went and updated the app and it let me download and install this time. Hope that helps anyone else having this issue!
I was having similar issues with tons of apps. Eventually I just moved half of the garbage to the SD and deleted a bunch of bloatware with Titanium Backup. After a nice solid battery pull everything updates fine now.

You can side load updated versions of system apps without root access, and you get a notice that the app will replace a current system app but preserve user data. Whenever the Play Store app is updated and gets extracted and posted all over the forums, I just side load, agree to the warning and proceed. However, the system app that is being side loaded needs to be in an installable apk format which I understand to be its native odex format.

Although I'm no expert, I believe it still won't work. The reason you can install the apk extracted from the Play Store is because it is not a system app. It gets installed to /data/app. Apk's that come with a stock build are system apps, and cannot be installed into /data/app. They need to be installed into /system/app. Nothing can replace anything that is stored in /system unless you have root access. (/system is mounted as read-only in Android.)

Just an update. I was able to insert a few of the apps into an install zip and get them working with no problems. Wallet, keyboard, currents, play music, browser, Google +, and a couple others worked just fine. Gmail did not as I couldn't just insert all the framework apks as it would force close right away. Nothing ground breaking, but the new features are fun to see and experiment with.
The photosphere feature is very neat. I like the GPS embedded aspect of it too. YouTube seems to have a slicker interface. All in all 4.2 is very much improved over 4.1.2. I can't wait for that fresh aosp source!

Its simple root your device and you are done.you will not get ota notification as ota is disabled when device is rooted.
And even this doesn't works then root device,download app called link2sd or Rom toolbox and freeze software update app.it will work for sure.

First off you need a file manager that allows root access, make sure you allow those folders to be accessed "in the settings menu of that manager." It is a file from your device if you are getting the notification.

Update for a sure way without deleting files rooted device.
use a folder explorer like Root Explorer:
[QRCODE]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en[/QRCODE]
Navigate to:
/system/app: change fwupgrade.apk to fwupgrade.old and keychain.pak to keychain.old
/system/etc/security: change otacerts.zip to otacerts.old
Now reboot to recovery mode and wipe cache. Reboot system to GUI. If update appears, accept install. Countdown will appear but nothing will be installed.
The update notification will no longer appear. :good:
I can't seem to get Google now to work anymore. It keeps crashing as soon as I give it a voice command.
For some reason now, it seems like my phone lost compatibility with lots of apps. I can't update top the latest versions of the apps and download apps directly through playstore app. On my laptop, the playstore site says the apps are compatible and "downloading" but I get nothing on my phone.
I ve done a clean install of the latest update and cleared data for the individual apps that I've had problems with but I'm still not seeing any changes.
Any idea what's going on here? Is this something everyone else is experiencing?

It's the gapps that you flashed.. he posted an earlier build shortly after which fixed the issue (just have to update Google Search app in the Play Store). This was posted in the OP.
I'd probably fully wipe but at least system and both caches and reflash the latest ROM and gapps posted.

edit: Just noticed the post above saying the same thing. These are probably covered ad nauseam if you search in the QA thread as well.

I am. I changed it by editing the build.prop file. but even if i change it back to normal dpi, i still have the same issues. i just did a clean install of 5.5.13b update and still having same issues. im back at normal dpi.
is there a way to fix this?
explain clean install. i would recommend wiping data cache, dalvik, & formatting /system, /data & /media then flashing ROM/gapps. completely fresh start. what recovery do you use and what device was the version for (d2att, etc)?

clear data from play store and google services framework after reverting to stock dpi. then find a multidpi play store and flash it. then you can freely change the dpi.
