I did the upgrade to 4.3 and HATE it. It took quite a while but I was able to get back to stock MC2. I keep getting the notification about the system software upgrade and have choose "install later" 3 times and it stops prompting me for a little while but then it just starts reminding me again. Is there a way to STOP my Sprint Note 2 from doing this? or better yet a way to stop my phone from even looking for a system software upgrade? I am rooted but don't have any idea how to do this or if there is even a way to. Any ideas???
Me too, would love to stop the stupid pop-up
It's driving me crazy. I don't want to update ever. How can i stop the pop-up?
you need to flash a modified build prop, or you can use rom toolbox to edit it also.
Do a search, or make a flashable with only the build prop, edit the build/version and flash/reboot...
This "tricks" the phone into thinking it has the latest version = no more update notices...
Wondering the same thing but what build/version should it be updated to to prevent the update notice?

here you go
This is how i've manually stopped OTA notifications...
Disable OTA Update Notification, use an app like Root Explorer, go to
/system/etc/security/otacerts.zip
rename to otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak and reboot.

Verizon is pushing out an OTA update for VCast, Slacker, and other stuff.
Anyone have some experience with this? Is it going to un-root my phone? Because that would be, well, a pain.
I'm pretty sure that it won't unroot it, but if you made any modifications to the stock applications, it won't even run. It would fail the md5 or signature tests or whatever.
At least thats how I remember it working last time.
And wrong section.
The update has been pushed to my phone. Now I'm getting that annoying popup every 30 seconds to update my software. I'm running the warm two point two rom which is based off of the evo framework. Should I try to do the update and let it fail or not?

That pop up is annoying. Where is the update stored? I checked the root of my SD and it is not there. I was thinking of just deleting it.

I'm running Myn's 2.2,too. Choose to update with the OTA. I think it tried to update but failed. Didn't get an error message. The best thing is the nagging message went away and I still have root.

Same here. I see no changes at all as of now.
Moved to Q&A as not development
Kinda new but I had to hack a lot to get it installed
I was getting the popup as well and it was failing every time. You can download the OTA and try installing it from the recovery but if you removed any VZW app's it will fail more specifically VzNav.apk in my case.
I did some poking around the OTA update once I downloaded it. The file "updater-script" in META-INF\com\google\android is the file I modified to remove the asserts for the apk's I removed once rooted.
After the install was complete I used the instructions on the site below to redo root, but I have s-off so I believe if you don't have that it won't work for you.

I installed the update, lost root and haven't been able to run z4root to root my device since then. However this update fixed the problems I had with using gmail exchange servers in the samsung e-mail app. Now I just need to get rooted again and figure out how to disable gmail app notifications.
you tried one click root?
Not yet, I'm at work right now and my work machine is running linux. I was planning on trying it tonight when I got home

OT
For those of you who are rooted, which method seems to be best right now.
I want to do it but was waiting to see some rom action
Also is everyone using the same recovery these days?
I was looking for Sprint specific info but its kind of muttled up in here.
Thanks
Im having the same issue. I am really keaning toward a T-Mobile Tab or the ipad2.

I definitely LOST root when I applied the update, I tested and retested with multiple root apps, also I couldn't unroot or root using z4root at all after this, z4root would simply crash. However using oneclickroot on PC I was able to root the device again after the update and I was able to run lcd density and all my other root apps again.
might i ask how you actually pulled this update and zipped it up? Where are ota updates located on the system?
any modem files in this.
I did not lose root when I installed the system update that came OTA. I originally rooted with z4root.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
how strange, did you confirm that the update actually installed successfully? I wonder why mine would lose root and yours wouldn't.
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT UPDATE
If you guys changed your WPA_SUPPLICANT file to allow AD-HOC networks, the update FILL FAIL.
So restore the original/stock WPA supplicant file before you try the update, or itll just fail and made no difference. I'll keep you posted, im going to do the update right now
Also make sure your using STOCK DPI LCD Density or it will fail as well. Its stock 240.
go back in to your about galaxy tab and check for updates and check for new firmware; if it hasn't installed yet then I believe that it should attempt to install again. You can match the new baseband version, build number, and qik version to see if you are running the new update.
it tried to install before OTA but failed due to different WPA_supplicant and LCD Density change (give a buildprop error).
Now im doing the manual update, i just changed the zip to update.zip. Now it seems to be working.
UPDATE COMPLETE: btw, the new sprint logo is CRAP. i liked the original Samsung Logo! anyway to change that back. I'll keep you guys posted on any new things i find.
Ok this does Break ROOT!
If it doesnt break root for you, then the update did not go through. Check your settings "about my galaxy tab".
My update is failing because I'm running a modified Gallery. Like an idiot I didn't backup the original app. Anyone know where I can snag a copy of the stock Gallery3D.apk and .odex?
-edit-
Nevermind... found a modified ROM that was using the stock Gallery app. Just pulled it from that and presto, update applied without errors.
-edit
Hmm... though when it rebooted it said the update failed to apply and I should try again. Though the sprint logo at boot the version numbers tell a different story. Odd.
Hi Guys and Girls,
I got a little popup today to tell me that my phone is due an upgrade to 2.51.1 -
I selected download, then realised this might not be a bright idea.
The upgrade hasn't been done yet, but I'm being continually prompted to "Install now" and I have to keep selecting "Install later".
1. Where is the update that downloaded to my phone (so I can delete it)
2. How can I disable future OTA updates
I believe if you rename the BlurUpdater.apk in /system/app, that should stop it. This thread should help (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856104).
For example, I just renamed BlurUpdater.apk to BlurUpdater.rem.
Ok, I moved Fota.apk and BlurUpdater.apk - hopefully that should stop the nagging.
AFAIK 2.51.1 has been rooted now, but there's no JIT/DEOX build available yet (ala Frozen Eclair)?
Doesn't seem like there is. But if you check out the Frozen Eclair thread in Android Dev, looks like someone was able to load the 2.34 JIT onto a phone with 2.51.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11168992&postcount=153
Well after reading that 2.51.1 is supposed to be much better than 2.21 I figured I may aswell upgrade, especially since it has been rooted.
So I removed the permanent root and tried the OTA update, but it failed about one third in on the progress bar and displayed an exclamation mark with the little android robot. Any ideas?

I'm not sure about the 2.51 update as I'm on T-mobile USA. But I remember some people saying that if you remove any of the original apks, you'll need to replace them to stock. Again, I know that applies to the T-Mo USA update, not sure about anything else.
Oh, its worth mentioning that I did put the stock applications back on.

My phone is rooted and it wont update OTA. How can i permanently ignore this stupid dialog box popping up every 2 minutes on my phone about the upgrade to 4.0.4?
You could try freezing the update process through your task manager/etc. Hope this helps.

Just change your build prop and add the latest version to it. Its a quick 2 second text change. I just don't have the exact text to be copied. Its around here somewhere in one of the threads though.

Rooting has no impact on OTA updates' ability to install. You must have something else that is not stock on your device.
As for how to disable it, you need to edit your build.prop file. Change the line that starts with ro.build.fingerprint to whatever it is on an IMM76K ROM. Ask someone who is already running it for the correct text.

Yup, that is what the OP needs. All he has to do is change his ro.build.fingerprint to match that, and he will no longer get the OTA notification.
I dont know anything about build props. Damn.
I also have nothing else done to my phone, just root. I dont think i even have any programs that need root, just did it to do it.

Build.prop is just a text file in the root directory. You can browse to it with root explorer and edit it. Just make a copy of the original and stick it somewhere sexy before doing your edits incase you change something incorrectly.
That way you can come back and ask how to copy a backup to another location when your phone wont boot .
And heres some props for rooting just to root.

I encountered the same thing after rooting. I know there are ways to force the message to stop, but it will time out after a few days. I no longer get the pop-up.
Also, even though your phone is rooted, if you click the OTA dialogue box, your phone will attempt to download the OTA update. And this could brick your phone or put you into a boot loop. So be careful not to activate it.
OTA updating a rooted phone shouldn't brick or boot-loop it. Only thing that should happen is that you won't have root after the update.
That is, unless you install OTA Rootkeeper from the app store.
OK, today I received an android update notification for something that's 87.1 mb. I have a D851 running SR Lollipop G3 v. 4.0 (krowley3). I have OTA disabled in the engineering menu. I checked the cache and there's no file there yet. So... Does anyone know what this is, how it got around the engineering menu ota disable, and the easiest way to turn off the notification? *I long pressed the notification and it showed as Google Play services?? Now I'm really confused. Any thought? Thanks in advance.
Alright, I think I answered part of my question. I went and read the T-Mobile update information on 20e and it shows a 87.1 mb download. I wouldn't have thought it to be that small, but it is. So that leaves me with wanting to get rid of the notification nagging me every time I turn on the phone. Thanks in advance for your help.

Using a root explorer like ES File Explorer go to /cache/ folder and delete the update.zip file. Reboot your phone. If the notification is still there go back to /cache/ folder and make sure that file is not there. Then just take the OTA and it should error out because the zip file you deleted. The notification should be gone after booting up your phone again. But make sure you DELETE the UPDATE.ZIP before accepting the update from the notification.
This thread here by Autoprime should help you if my method doesn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412
Went through the thread then went through the system files looking for anything obviously related to fota etc. , but nothing popped out that I felt comfortable modifying. I never downloaded the update so cache was empty. I eventually long pressed the notification (google Play services) and unchecked notifications. It got rid of notification. I guess I'll probably have manually check to update any apps, but I'll gladly take that over the never ending notification. Thanks again to all for the responses/help.
