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

Hi,
I have just reset my phone using the option in privacy settings, then I cannot root again using doomlord tools (it hangs at "waiting for device"). I tried to install superuser and somehow I can run apps require root privileges now, is my phone really rooted? Is it possible that the phone is already rooted and resetting does not un-root it?
Look for answers in the forum where you got the info to root. If you can ran titanium backup or cwm you are rooted, although you should have superuser app somewhere.
Be careful where you go from from here. If you cannot determine if you are rooted or not by yourself, you need a lot more reading and research before getting into this deeper

There's many root checker apps on the play store, just download one of those.
Hi. I want a clean ROM having HTC Sense. I want it the closest possible to stock so that everything works although I would not mind if it is unlocked so that I can move apps to sdcard. I cannot download from football's thread as I tried and all roms i tried failed. Is there another one? I am currently running CM9 but I dont like it very much as it is slow and does not have sense.
Thanks
I have made a flashable zip from the RUU HTC Asia India. If you want you can get it here:

Maybe install stock rom with root, then install Dust kernel ( with overclock) then install Link2SD + No-frills CPU+ APP Quarantine --> And You have a stock fast and space free rom
Thanks. I will try these during the weekend and let you know.
link2sd
Hi. I really thank you for your help. I found this ROM really good, exactly how I had it when I got the mobile. I have only one problem so far. I installed link2sd however when I try to move apps such as facebook it fails and says that it cannot get root access. In a forum I found that I should install the superuser app. I did this however when I opened link2sd I did not get the message to allow superuser rights and I still could not move apps. IS there a solution for this please?
Thanks

Earlier this week my Sensation 4g died. I bought a Note 2. Little did I know that there were issues with it that I and others have with it, ie: no easy immediate way to do app to sd for instance. Another thing I wanted was to be able to add or take away data from installed apps by connecting the phone to a computer via usb and accessing the files that way, which again doesn't happen without some work.
Since then I have rooted the phone (according to the download mode screen, which says: current binary and system status is custom.
I have left everything stock except for the rooting part and installed Superuser and SuperSU and then tried to run Titanium Backup (free) when it said 'could not access root using \something\something\su command".
I have tried several other apps and methods of trying to do what I want (from the first paragraph) but none have succeeded either due lack of documentation (and I didn't know how to do a certain step or fix something) or it just didn't work.
So where am I at now? I have factory reset my phone and am now honestly not sure where to go or what to do from here. I've Googled and Googled but nothing quite seems to be able to fix what I need and if it does then it has the lack of documentation and can't help me.
Any thoughts or guides or something that anyone could post/link to? Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken but kernels don't deal with being able to save apps to sd. I could be wrong since I don't dabble in android dev. Thanks though.
We need background... 1st of all...
What way did you use to root (Cf_auto_root, Stock-root injected, etc)?
Does your phone still have exynos_exploit or did your phone come with that "OTA Update" pre installed?
What SD card are you using?
What rom/kernal are you trying to run?
Most of the time, in this particular forum, its seems best to just ask what your trying to accomplish within the various rom/kernal thread...
Like lets say im on Stick injected rom/kernal without extsd2internalsd (apps2sd) setup and lets say I want to go to Jedi Master 9.... I would then go to Jedi Master 9 thread and ask for help on how to effectively apply that rom with ExtSd2internalsd support from my current setup, and wait for the OP or seniors to reply... also while "patiently waiting" I would read/search through the hundreds of pages looking for answers/insights to my particular process... if needed might go to my own root process thread and ask for advice on how to get to jedi master 9
Id be more than willing to help you here but need some background on your phones current status and end rom/kernal to provide an answer (to be sure I dont lead you awry

Thanks. I did answer that I am running everything stock at the moment, just rooted, no kernel or rom. I have an 8gb class 4 microsd card. My root method was cf auto root. I also stated what I was hoping to achieve also (in my first paragraph). Hopefully this helps.
Oh, if possible I'd like the easiest way to remove or disable system apps like chat on or some of the tmobile stuff. I tried a couple different methods with that too but couldn't quite get it all to work.
I tried the qtadb app but couldn't get my device to be seen by the program on the computer and i tried that app because I had no idea where to start with regular adb, its been a long time since i've done any of this stuff.
To remove or disable system apps I use root uninstaller, sometimes it won't delete system apps on the first try just exit the app go back and do it again second attemt will do, for your data problem I'll try root browser or root Explorer

Doesn't that just lead back to my first problem of not being able to get Titanium Backup to run on my phone?
Are you sure your rooted (root checker)? I honestly havent heard of anyone else being unable to install rooted apps (unless they werent rooted (those people generally rerooted to solve that issue)

Well it turns out you can download and install apps requiring root but they just wont run correctly, if at all. I know because after my factory reset, i downloaded and ran 2 root checker apps, both of which said I no longer have root or something. So now I'm just going through the rooting process again.
Edit: I'm not rooted again, as checked by 2 root confirmation apps. Now to try to get TB running and remove bloatware.
Edit 2: Great success! I got TB to work, bought PRO and have just frozen everything i dont need or dont use.

Hi guys
Basically I need to stay unrooted because certain apps don't work with root. On 4.1.2 I used an OTA Rootkeeper app to toggle root when need be. Now on 4.3 I rooted to remove bloat and install a couple apps, then unrooted again by deleting all the su stuff with root explorer. OTA Rootkeeper and other apps to toggle root do not work properly with 4.3.
Basically I am enjoying the Viper4Android mod even though I am unrooted, and on 4.1.2 I noticed that mods such as the xposed multiwindow would work even if root was toggled off. I tried installing it on 4.3 but got a bootloop and had to start again. Right now I have set up everything I wanted on root and have unrooted my phone and everything is fine. However, I am curious if I can root again, install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.xperiacle.mwappsmanager&hl=en and then unroot again? Bear in mind that Viper works fine even though I have removed root, and the xposed multiwindow worked fine with root toggled off on 4.1.2... I just don't want to end up with a bootloop again and have to start all over.
I'm also wondering if it is possible to install a custom recovery and keep it even after I unroot. I'll only need to use it for backup purposes.
Cheers!

Hi
Thanks for the info, but I've already tried that and the Cydia one. As far as I'm aware the SkyGo app I use has no solution apart from unrooting. Similarly, xposed caused a bootloop on 4.3 for me, so I'd rather avoid it as I cba to do a factory reset again.
Is there any reason for this app not to behave like viper4android and work when unrooted?

Risking having to do a factory reset, I tested this and it works.
Good news for ppl that want to use apps like skygo but dont need to be perninantly rooted but like to have mods like viper and multiwindow working.
