ohh, then you should not update.
try going to system/apps/google services framework and untick "show notifications"
or
(better)
download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun
select advanced mode, then in settings check 'show system entries' and then find Google services framework, and disable the one with 'system update receiver' in the name
(you may need to refresh the list first) "

if you are using titanium backup, you could also try to freeze the update app.

Using Titanium, or any app that freezes for that matter; the app i believe you want to freeze is SDM (mine is SDM 1.0).

The update already downloaded itself so when I go to Software Updates there is no option to uncheck check and download automatically.

What app is sending you these notifications? File Manager? App Manager?
Hold down on the notification until you see a bell and an i. Hit the i to get information.
There should be a box that says notifications on the app info... Uncheck that. Reboot the phone and see if it appears again (It shouldn't).

Hold down on the notification in your tray until you see a bell and an i enclosed in a circle. Hit the i to get app information.
Then uncheck the box for notifications from that app. Reboot and see if it pops up again.

If you're on Lollipop:
Hold down on the notification and get the info. Make sure it's unchecked (Could be a different app sending that one).
If it's already unchecked:
Go to your settings and find "Notification Manager". Enter this and hit "App notifications". Find the app that sent the above notification and tap on it. Now you can adjust it and set priorities and whatnot. For this, block notifications from it.
This may block notifications for system updates as well, but you can still check it manually. Plus, system updates don't happen very often so not seeing it won't really matter.
EDIT: Misunderstood what you meant... I underlined what to do in your case.
Edit 2: I'm running a custom ROM and that's how I would do it in my case. I failed to remember that the stock ROM may not have added these features, so you can also do this (for sure) but going to your settings and hitting apps, then scrolling over to all. Find the app manager (or whatever app uses the same icon as the one sending you the notifications) and click on it. Now you can uncheck the displaying of notifications from it.

Read that^^^
Also, unchecking notifications from "Google Service Framework" may remove notifications for these type of updates.
If you are rooted and already have SuperSU you can download Titanium backup and uninstall any app from your phone. BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME APPS ARE IMPORTANT. Also, make sure you backup the file before removing it via titanium (backup through titanium backup) in case you for some reason need it back. This may or may not remove the prompt to update the app, but way back when (if I remember correctly) it did for me.

Glad to hear it! If you ever have any more questions feel free to PM me.
Also, I would highly recommend you try out a free app called "LG Tweaks Box". It'll make your phone feel so much better and have tons of customization!
I'm not sure if this even/still applies but when I was on KitKat (LG G3 2GB) I rooted my device then used either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer File Manager and looked in the data\op folder on device and deleted anything I didn't want (mainly anything carrier related which was all of the H3G_COM folder (30 items) as it was a 3 UK handset) then reflashed firmware and wiped device and I have never had any apps forced on me since, i've even disabled auto restore of apps from Google Play on first sign in so I can be choose what I wanted installed at each reflash/wipe.
Back up the OP folder first as It is handy for later if ever needed
Again not sure if this even/still applies
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply
But sorry to say that my Data/Op folder has no Carrier APPs
i have done a full search on phone an just cant find the junk
i still have a message saying i have 15 APPs to update even with APP update frozen with RootUninstaller

[Q] T805 how to stop firmware update (and notification) without root ?

Hi guys, sorry if there is already an answer to this question on the forum, but I didn't find it.
All the answer on the subject I have found are dealing only with rooted tablets.
So, there is any method to block forever the automatic firmware update attempt and the related notifications, if the tablet is not rooted ?
The user is a non-technical person, and I need to be sure he will not launch the lollipop update by mistake (he does not play with the commands and settings he does not understand, but is very easy to launch the update from notification area, by mistake).
Also, the notification is annoying.
Thank you,
Really ? No solution ?
Thank you,

Hi, I am on lollipop right now and hopefully it should be similar to KitKat. Simply, when the notification shows in in your notifications, just hold on it, then when it shows app info hit that, then uncheck show notifications. Then it should stop popping up
Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk
Thanks, but it doesn't apply, as the checkbox (and all the buttons around, "clear cache", clear data" etc) are greyed out on that app
If you can find what app does the update, I wonder if the app below could disable it, it works without root, it might be worth a go.

Hi Nick61,
as you're talking about the Android updates, I would guess that you'll find what you're looking for under 'Device information'. I don't have the T-805 with KK at hand but if I look at my KK devices, you'll find it under the tab 'Options' -> 'Device information' -> 'Software update' -> unckeck 'automatic update'. (I use the german android version, so I'm not exactly sure that are the correct english terms)
I've done that and haven't been bothered with any update notification. hope that helps a bit.
Sorry for so late answer and thanks for your help.
Only today I had the tablet again in my hand. The "package disabler" app was the solution, thanks Tinderbox !
I was able to disable (sic!) the "software update" apps (there are 2 of them). Both apps had the disable button inaccesible in the normal settings menu (greyed out), but the "package disabler" is working with administrator rights (only on Samsung devices, as I've read) and it disabled both apps.
Glad you found a way to stop the update, it`s good to know, now you can hide the package disabler app so it not used by accident, but does the disabling survive when you restart the tablet.
John.

As said above I'm sure before I rooted my tab that all that was required was to disable auto update.

Unfortunately, simply unchecking the auto-update option from settings/about did not solve the problem on this tablet (on my note3 this was the normal solution, but not on this tablet). The update app was still downloading the new firmware (OTA) and it was stridently pushed in the notification area, with no option remained, other than to ignore it (and with the risk of touching it by mistake).
Thanks,
Can you post a photo of the apps/processes you had to disable and there location.
Thanks

Block updates- What server name/ip's does Samsung use?

Anyone know Samsung's ip addresses or url's they use to update the TAB S?
For about a week I have been getting annoying POPUP's from Samsung trying to force me to update. It takes over the screen and I want to block Samsung and get back control over my device.
Thanks.

Why don't you just disable automatic updates? No need to do anything drastic.

Because Samsung has disabled the ability to disable the update daemon. I am going to try a temporary root program and see but I still want to block them at my router so no unexpected foolishness down the the road.
My boss wants it fixed too as she has the same tablet.

Again I don't have root.
My boss's S is set to "Download updates manually" but device downloaded the update anyway. It does not honor your choice and if you try to disable the update software it is greyed out.
What IP domain names do they use?

Again, you don't need root. Just UNCHECK Download updates automatically in settings.
There are 3 settings. Manual updates if you want to check manually(this setting has absolutely nothing to do with the automatic update setting)
Download updates automatically, uncheck and you'll never get another notification again.
Scheduled software updates - OFF.
That is all that is required.
If your device is notifying you to install an update then it's already downloaded.
Just root and delete it.
If you don't want to do that download Bk package disabler and disable the update notification.

My boss 's was already set to manual and it ignored her setting. It doe NOT work. Samsung is ignoring the setting.
Will BK disabler actually disable the daemon or just the notifications?
Someone must know their IP range/ url's?

Well it works perfectly on my Tab S and the other 3 galaxy tablets I have.
BK package disabler can disable updates and the notifications. Just need to disable the correct packages.

Ok just tried the BK on my boss's S and it worked great. There were 2 daemons to disable and now no more popups.
I will do the same with mine at home tonight.

Updater not showing in settings

Using star2lte: lineage-17.1-20210121-nightly-star2lte.
It's only a minor problem because I can always do adb sideload but I'm sure is was there at one time. I can see the updater in the apps but I can't see any way of running it, also new updates are not announced.
Is there any way of getting the updater to run again?

Nice. I can reproduce this picture with disabling updater app.
Ok, that's interesting. How did you disable it, or more appropriately how to you re-enable it? It's possible I may have disabled it by accident.
I've just checked under Apps, and it's is enabled, weird.
Thanks.

Updater keeps stopping, I guess that's the reason it doesn't show. The question is: why does it keep stopping?
