How do you stop applications auto installing on your phone there are apps that I have tested that I no longer need or want but they reinstall every time?
Any way to stop it?

Is your phone unlocked with Chevron? It is possible that that unlock method tricks Zune to think you device is resetted everytime you sync to it and that's why any apps you bough/tried through the Zune software will be installed. That's just my theory.
If you're phone is not Chevron unlocked, then go here and complain to MS to fix it: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...o-dl-all/51fb531e-7f69-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5
Hi, I have a Z3C and my wife and mother in law have Z1C's. All of us run Kitkat 4.4.4 and are quite happy doing so. Love the batterylife and the Powermenu. Hate the new messagecenter on Lollipop and Marshmallow and the lack of soundsettings/fly mode in the Powermenu.
However, the last few months we all started getting very annoying messages from Update Center. A popup after reboot or on/offline state; Important softwareupdate - Later or Details.
I can't get rid of it. How can I do this on a non-rooted phone (won't root it - will not lose the camera DRM or update to Lollipop).
- I tried removing notification under Apps, Update Center - didn't work...
- Uninstalled Update Center = reinstalled itself..
- Force shutdown - works but only until next reboot.
Also trying disabling or removing notifications from the app What's New or several others like OMA Client provisioning but to no avail...
help! It's driving me nuts...
I read something about adb where you can via shell diaable stuff on the phone in Developer mode in non-rooted mode? Is this a solution and how does it work? Pm block updatecenter something?

AFAIK it's only possible with root app mgr, (freeze pkg).
Just used Debloater on my Z3C and my wifes Z1C. Both non-rooted Kitkat 4.4.4. Works like a charm.
Dear Debloater developer - Thank you thank you thank you
Hello guys after i reset my surface when i go to windows store say ( update windows ) so if is the last windows for surface rt how work again ???
Store is broken on many Surface RT devices (possibly all RT?) currently. Responses from MS is that they are working on it. I think it started with an update released around the 14th or 16th of August.
Devices that haven't cleared the app store cache still seem to work, devices that have recently been refreshed don't.

Please report back if store works after upgrading 8.0 to 8.1 via Windows Updates. If so I'll start over with 8.0, get store working, then apply Windows Updates. It has taken hours just to get 8.1 to finish all Windows Updates and I don't want to start the process again if it won't work.
The other option would be to install 8.0, get all the apps I think I'll need for now, then let it upgrade to 8.1
Report back if you can.

Been asking T-Mobile and OnePlus on how to block this update as it breaks creation of a work profile and I can no longer us my phone for work. I've downgraded to A11 using MSM but then as soon as I connect to WiFi, the device starts downloading the A12 update. Pausing it says it will update after midnight.
I've forbidden data usage to Android Setup (there is no system update app that I've been able to find in any of the apps even after "show system" is checked) and disabled those apps. I've disabled "allow automatic updates when rebooting". Going into System update there is no gear to stop the update. I've turned data off to anything I can find, i've also done this in safe mode. I can't not be able to use this phone for work and it's basically brand new.
If it's rooted it won't work for Work Profile either. Microsoft documentation states that OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, and Nokia phones do not work with Android 12 and work profiles and that they should not be upgraded yet, so I assume there's a way to stop this upgrade.
Anyone have any luck?
Install NetGuard, go to settings > advanced options > enable system apps.
In NetGuard, search for updater and turn off network for it, then turn NetGuard on and leave the VPN on while you use the phone.
Thanks! When I searched for updater on my phone, under system apps, only Mobile Installer and ConfigUpdater showed up. Searching for update, it's built-in app updates and Dynamic System Updates, both of which I believe are not the right ones to block. I did try blocking all four and the update still applied (I set my time to midnight and left it plugged in)
Any suggestions? I feel like T-Mobile makes this too difficult
For what its worth, I used an app called Island to create a work profile on my device while it still had A11. My phone upgraded to A12 and the work profile and all of its associated apps were still there. I haven't noticed any problems with the apps or accounts on that work profile, either (although A12 is a dumpster fire).
My phone is currently a bone stock LE2127 from T-Mobile.

You could use shelter on android 12, it works fine. If you still need to block updates, use PCAPdroid, turn on its VPN, then attempt an update. You should get the update server and you could block it via DNS.
Ok, so I've tried a couple of the above. unfortunately I need to run company portal for it to create the work profile so when I went to use shelter it didn't take as running Company Portal immediately killed it. We use Intune and compliance and all that fun stuff.
I also went and checked PCAPdroid, and I couldn't tell where the update server was, so I went and I blocked network traffic from everything with NetGuard, and slowly removed things to see what app was doing the downloading. The only thing that stopped the update from downloading was blocking Google Play Services.
I have a couple PCAP files but I'm not sure if they are even capturing the download of the update file.

I suppose I could live life for a few months turning on and off google play services connectivity when I need to install stuff. I just can't believe that T-Mobile knowingly forces this on you.
I don't remember where I found it, I think it may have been some random 8 Pro subforum.
They said to use this command.
I'm crossing my fingers.
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user com.oneplus.opbackup
Unfortunately tried that as well, doesn't exist on the OP9 Pro T-Mo edition. It's almost as if they castrated this version lol.
I appreciate the help though!
Exception occurred while executing 'disable-user':
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: com.oneplus.opbackup

Hi,
It seems like gateway.oneplus.net is the update server, you can try to block that only.

I'm cautiously optimistic right now. Blocked that through no root firewall, tried to download the update and it wouldn't go through. Currently have the phone set to 12 am and sitting on it's own to see if it'll actually auto update over the day. If it doesn't, woo hoo! Thank you so much! If it does, sad face.
You're welcome!
If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll be more than happy to assist you.
Argh! I was wrong, I accidentally had everything blocked and not just gateway.oneplus.net. PCAPDroid isn't picking up any different dns servers or IP addresses when I run it other than what I've posted. I ended up finding a way to block the download when the screen is off (apparently app "Root" in NetGuard stops it from downloading) and I think I should be ok until T-Mo releases a better update with OnePlus that works.
Thanks for the help, hopefully it doesn't and up somehow finding it's away around my network block!

Is this working for you? Do you still get the notifications about an update being available?
The fix I posted above has worked to prevent notifications & updates on global but I want to go back to T-mobile ROM now due to some odd network behavior.
Oh geez, I just MSM'd back to TMO and I see that TMO is now forcing the first update to be to 12 instead of a newer version of 11.
Global will let you step up to the most recent version of 11 before forcing you to 12.
But TMO just skips right to 12 without giving you a newer 11 first.
Anyone know how to install the most updated version of TMO 11?

In order to get the latest OOS 11 version, first you need to MSM. Then, you need to update, make sure it's around ~460 MB or so, it will look like it's an update to OOS 12 but it's not. Then you should end up on 11.2.9.9 and then you need to block the update that's around 4000 MB and you should be good to go.

I MSM'd and the current version was 11.2.6.6.le5acb.
Then, I went to the update tab and it says the update available is for le2127_11_c-16, which is the 12 version.
I don't remember the size on it though and I've already moved on to a custom ROM to test something.
Are you saying this was telling me it would be 12 but would have actually done an 11 update?
Yes, at least in my experience.
I was skeptical at first but then thought to myself there was no way an Android 12 upgrade was ~400 MB. Also, given the fact that I tested on global and it forced an upgrade to the latest Android 11 version BEFORE doing an Android 12 upgrade, I figured it wouldn't really have upgraded to Android 12.

That file doesn't exist on T-Mobile from what I've seen. I am just living with the pop up every once in a while.
I found a downgrade thread for T-Mobile to Android 11. I used it and it worked for me. it also fixed my serial number that was missing the leading 0. search for the OnePlus 9 Pro downgrade using the MSM Tool!

Yeah that's what I used but then it kept upgrading on its own. Had to do it a couple times then block network connectivity to specific addresses.
