I've seen people mention using titanium backup to freeze the device manager or updater app. Something to that effect.

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.

Will anything else be affected if you freeze that app?

I've had mine frozen for a couple days to avoid getting that notification, and haven't experienced any fc's or other problems.

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!
Freeze device manager.

Here's how I fixed it. Use a root explorer. Navigate to system/app and delete / backup both wssysync files. Reboot . Problem solved

Hello Hox owners,
I rooted my hox a while ago.
Just before the latest update came.
To get the last update, I needed to go back to stock recovery.
This went well I thought but since I have the Wifi problems i was looking at my phone closer and saw I got the stock recovery but SU app still installed.
I want to gain root access again, remove the superuser app, and unroot it fully because I need to send my phone back for repair soon (I hope).
The clockwork was installed succesfully, the latest version of superuser as well, update binaries also flawless but somehow still no root access according to es filemanager and titanium backup...
What do I need to do to get this fix?
Thnx in advance!
Ralph

Maybe those apks were denied permissions for some reason. Try going into superuser & clearing all app default settings & reboot.

Thnx for the reply but no apps are visible inside SuperSU.
Titanium was installed after I "rerooted" my hox.
There is no clear cache option inside SuperSU, right?

Can you get root checker from the market. & confirm that the Su binaries we installed correctly? If that app says your rooted then maybe try clearing superuser data. & reopening your apps.

Hi, I recently got a GSM Google Nexus from the Play store. Rooted it on ICS. Than got OTA for JB.
After the update I noticed that my Superuser permissions are acting weird like Rom Manager, Superuser itself and Quickboot are getting denied.
Also, Apex launcher reset itself to default without me doing anything.
And my GPS doesn't work on T-Mobile.
Is it one major problem, with a root issue or multiple problems with multiple issues?

explain? what do you mean you cant update?
heres a flashable in recovery SuperSU. flash it, boot up, open the app, and update to the most recent.
I can't update it, I downloaded SuperSU from the Playstore, hit update it says Superuser has been denied. I tried to update Superuser, it denies itself. It can't flash anything in recover because it won't reboot into clockmodROM, it says clockmodRom denied too.

I had a similar problem where my root permissions were acting weird after the OTA to JB. Also, my su binary was out of date and I couldn't update through Superuser. So I put the phone to debugging mode and hacked away with adb. I made sure I mounted system to r/w (which I could, I dunno why), I updated the su binary with a push and downloaded SuperSU through Google Play.

You need to uninstall SuperSU if you were rooted before installing cyanogenmod, as CM comes with another superuser app... SO go into your apps find superSU and uninstall it

You lose installed apps, settings that you set when you started the phone, WiFi, wallpaper, texts/phone log, contacts
If you pick to back up to Google when you first set up the rom you can restore all the above apart from texts and call logs.

which root package you installed? can you provide a link to it?
first check you have root access successfully or not through Root checker.....Then Install Superuser from playstore.
Try installing the super su version and deleteing the other superuser and in settings of the supersu check and or click on install to system or system app and it will install it as a system app and probably won't disappear
