I'm running Skydragon rom 0.0.5 and was wondering how to disable OTA updates. I had friend with Note 2 on T-mobile and he never clicked on OTA update and his phone took it anyway and wiped his whole phone. I had to reflash stock rom thru odin to get it to even work. Another reason is that I had G flex before my G3 and when it updated to KitKat the battery life truly sucked. Any help will be appreciated.
This is in the wrong section. This should be in Q&A.
Having said that, I'm sure Holy angel already disabled that.
Worst case scenario download titanium backup and look for the update service and freeze it

The following was provided by AutoPrime:
Open LG Hidden Menu (3845#*851#) --> WLAN Test --> OTA Setting --> OFF
(This worked on LG G2.. hopefully work on G3 but won't be confirmed until OTA comes out)
Look, instead of rushing to take an OTA to get the latest software.. think for a moment.
We do no know if the TMO D851 boot loader will stay unlocked in future updates. OTA's can update not only software..
but the boot stack as well.. enabling features to block downgrades.. close exploits.. and all sorts of fun stuff.
so.. instead of taking an OTA.. wait for the files to get posted so we can look at things first.. possibly only updating /system, /boot, modem (maybe tz/rpm)
without updating the rest of the boot stack. ya... do that.
If your running a custom rom and a custom recovery you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Last I knew your phone can't take a OTA with a custom recovery, unless thats changed.

Here's the thing you have been a member for years you should know the rules by now (they are the same for EVERY phone). If you know the rules and post in the proper places this wouldn't happen. Some may be nice about pointing out your mistake others not so much. In the end you asked for it by posting this here so you won't find to much sympathy.
Seriously some of you need to grow the hell up and chill out. he posted in the wrong section. WOW.. someone shoot him in the head now. Seriously? There is less than 10 threads in the ENTIRE dev section for the tmo g3.... RELAX. breathe and tell yourself its gonna be ok.

Absolutely not true. At almost 6 million members can you imagine the chaos that would insue with no posting guidelines? A free for all of post where you want, what you want etc? Now I will say name calling is not appropriate either but honestly, and not that this makes it right but if you spend enough time on these forums you tend to get frustrated in repeating the basic rules that you agree to when you join and, at times, perhaps that it's expressed in a reply.
Basically 2 wrongs do not make a right, in the same instance not following the rules never makes a right. Simple enough, post where you are supposed too.

ok i cae from a nexus one rooted and running MIUI mod. i came to the EVO hoping to do the same. i have root and recovery but every time i flash a rom i gt bootloop. help i dont know what to do now?
You probably aren't wiping data. Either that or the MIUI kernel isn't playing nice with your EVO. Try to flash one of the AOSP kernels without agressive undervolting. If that doesn't work, try one without HAVS altogether.
think you could post a link to this?
Wrong forum.
how is it wrong forum? its a developement question
Do you only get boot loops when you flash miui? Have you tried any other rom? Is your S-ON, S-Off? Did you use unrevoked method to root? Is your evo a 004?
yes i get booy loops on every rom and i believe it is off and i did use unrevooked and i have no idea how would i go forth of checking that?
what he means by wrong forum is that you posted a question in the Developer forum.. questions go in the questions forum.. and you can post questions about a particular rom in that roms' thread to get the best help..
and in this case thats not even hosted here at XDA..

What he means by wrong forum is that it's not yet another rom. There is no discussion of development that goes on in this forum. It's nothing more than a release and support forum, at best a collection of bug reports.

my guess is you arent s-off/nand unlocked. reboot into hboot. power off and the back on, while pressing the volume down button. the very top line will tell you whether it is on or off.

Hey folks,
I rooted my GS3 months ago and recently tried downloading the OTA update. The update failed and now I am stuck at 4.0.4 and when I tried to update I have a grayed out continue update option. I don't mind manually flashing the update via usb but I want to stick with just a stock rom just rooted so I can remove the bloatware and use Titanium Backup. Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Try getting a clue and posting in the right section moron.

Also good advice. I'm sure there are a few stock based TW ROMs in the development section that the OP can flash. I wouldn't know as I'm an AOSP head. Anyway, the OTA update probably failed due to the fact that he's rooted and probably removed some bloat. My suggestion to the OP would be to flash any of the JB Touchwiz ROMs in the subforum I mention if that's what he wants. There's also tutorials floating around on how to do that if he's unsure of what to do.
Also, thread reported for movement.
Silly Humans. All you had to do is report that it was in the wrong section and one of us would move it out of Development and into the appropriate section. Oh wait, that is what 1 user did do.
I was going to clean this thread out but instead, I'll leave all the responses so that if anyone comes across this, they'll know what not to do and how not to respond to threads started in the wrong section.
Moved to Q&A
Thanks Wood. I have that magical mod power on other forums and miss it when I visit forums I don't have the power in. The responses some people give are just aggravating.

If you want to keep root i would recommend installing root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 from odin assuming you have a att phone. This is probably the easiest way.

It doesn't look like much can be done until we get recovery.
I've built a stock, debloated, deodexed rom but cant test without recovery.

I spent my free time arguing today didn't even see your reply til now. I'll see what's up tomorrow before work though and I believe a rom can be flashed via stock recovery if done right. .. Maybe I think I read somewhere we can sideload? Worth investigation if you have a rom to test yaknow but use caution

Stock recovery has sideload but I tried the rom with no luck. I did the update via sideload on my good phone (regretting it now) and it worked.
maybe because its signed by samsung.

Yeah there's another step and I think that's the updater script that has to be altered to mimic Samsung or ported to your rom but I am just throwing you ideas for now. Hope it helps

Wishful thinking from a non-developer:
- debloated AOSP
- deodexed
- overclocking
- fast charge
- mount as usb storage
- cwm recovery
While all of these things are what I'd love to see, fast charge is a big one. I use my phone as a GPS navigator on my motorcycle, powered via USB outlet. I'm not sure about this model but my PRIOR phones would lose battery power faster than the usb outlet would charge. Fast charge settings options would remedy this.
I've never built a rom. I think it's time I read up and learn why I don't have what it takes to build one hahaha.

If by "New" you mean some super meaningful "OMGOSH We're almost there!" type update... No.

Is this project still alive? You've got one more fan out there.
Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!
Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

I want to be able to update the ROM how can I do this, and what rom would you suggest in this case?

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

Whihc is why we have so many duplicate topics because newbies do not bother to search/read and instead prefer to be spoon fed.
And at what point did I remotely say anything about me making the rules?
I was simply informing you of the rules that XDA HAS!
You are not allowed to bump posts after a short period of time!
Hilarious, obviously you did get some of your mum which is why you now have a new phone.
1) Yes
2) What is best/most popular types of questions are not allowed on XDA. Try some and find out for yourself.
Try some. Browse dev section and research.
This emphasizes my earlier points in that you need to do some reading/research before jumping in.
Then make a backup first. You probably wiped data via recovery or something.
Yes.

Managed to root my stock rom.
If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.

Cool, some newbies do manage to find the search/browse buttons then apparently

Errr, welcome to XDA. :good:
How long will it take to get TWRP, custom ROMs, etc?
I don't think anyone knows right now. I know our phones have different partitions than others so it may take some time for it to be stable for us to use. I did see jcase post something on twitter about TWRP on a Pixel.
I saw a post in the dev thread (the only kernel thread right now) that they are working on twrp. The biggest challenge sounds like figuring out the file based encryption used on the pixel device.
I hope they hurry!
The saying "you never know what you've got until it's gone" is very true. :crying:

No disrespect was intended. My post is a lighthearted comment on life without a rooted device.
My guess is that they're trying to figure out how to best accommodate and exploit the dual partition goodness.
I'm patient. I was just curious.
Root is already achieved. Chainfire posted a screenshot today

Nice. dude is amazballs
Root is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/root-supersu-t3490156
Does anyone know where we can monitor the progress of TWRP?
AFAIK, the Dev isn't huge on posting Twitter/G+ updates but I could be wrong.
I'm not asking for a progress update (I may be lying).
TWRP and Xposed for 7.1 are the next huge things we're waiting on.
And then we all wait for our favorite ROM to get developed.
Dirty Unicorns or Broken OS for me please. :good:
Sounds like Ethan is making progress on TWRP but still has a ways to go.

TLDR: Successfully decrypted File Based Encryption in recovery. Now we can start working on integrating decrypt and new features, but still a ways to go.

Something to look forward to.
You just know there are already several devs waiting to drop ROM bombs on us. :good:
