Forgot to disable OTA updates and my phone downloaded it and now I have this notification that doesn't go away. Looked around using ES file browser but I can't find the location out the OTA file so I can delete it.
Anyone know the location of the OTA?

I'm one of the dummies that half-asleep clicked on the OTA update and am now softbricked. In looking around the potential solution threads I saw that long pressing the notification should dismiss it. Just a warning, I haven't tried fixing my phone as of yet, so I'm not sure if this advice is right.

That sucks. Look for "I softbricked my T-Mobile G3" under the questions thread. I think there's 2 fixes in there if you haven't checked yet. Idk if they'll work for you but worth a try if haven't seen them yet.
I read an adb fix somewhere that supposedly came from the G2 forums that supposedly worked too.
Good luck!
I'm just going to wait to find the location to delete, don't want to try and ling click and some kind of earthquake or something happen and end up just single clicking it. Lol

Yeah I saw the adb fix for the G2 and was hoping to have someone confirm that it is fine for the G3 too. I don't see why it wouldn't be, but I don't want to dig myself into a deeper hole.
Hope you find your answer!

You can freeze Update Center from Titanium Backup and that notification will go away. Forever.

There are 3 tgings for you to freeze
Software Update
Update Center
App Updates
I had the same problem thats a solid fix and should be working on every occasion like that.
Long press on the notification to enter app info and from there turn off notifications
I just use "notification off" app > uncheck googleplayservices > to hide the annoying notification.
Hello, I have this weird thing after trying to update to V30c... I received OTA (~230mb), downloaded and pressed to install but nothing happens, it just reboots the phone without performing the upgrade. So what I did connected it to PC and updated via LG mobile tool don't know why but the size was (1.3GB) unfortunately after upgrading I still receive the notification which I don't need as I already upgraded via PC... Anyone knows how to solve this?
If you're rooted, you can use the 'disableService' app from playstore. Then System / Google Play Services / SystemUpdateService, uncheck it. Problem solved.

Only it doesn't solve the problem. Just froze it with TB, but the notice persists. D851 stock MM V30D rooted. Also have SystemUpdateService disabled via app disableService from playstore, which got rid of the OTA notices for OS versions, but won't disable this compatibility patch notification.
EDIT: Notification gone now, probably had to reboot for it to evaporate.
EDIT2: Came back a day or so later, so that method was a no-go for me. Didn't want to try the long press to see if it could be dismissed via option presented in response to that action

Currently 35% downloaded. Is there any way to cancel the install phase? I was not prompted and cannot stop the download. I hope others aren't next, I tried various tricks when I first rooted to break my communication with the OTA update but obviously that didn't work.

Probably too late now 20 minutes later, but you could always pull the battery. That will buy you a little time. Then you could fastboot boot the recovery from the dev forum, access your phone with adb, and delete the update application apks from the system.
Quick uodate, I was able to postpone the update with the remind me later option I was given. Luckily it asked me at some point but my issue is still there, how do I get rid of this uodate pest? Renamint the ota-certs.zip file isn't enough because I did that a while ago.
I will try that when I get home. Is this system updates apk something I can get to from root explorer? I would love to end while I'm still at work.
Thanks Mills! I used Titanium backup to back the system-update.apk to my SD and then removed it from internal. The option to update disappeared in Settings. I out it back just to make sure I fixed it, the update option reappeared so I removed it again and now it's over. Thanks so much for helping me in the clutch. Felt like my phone had a bomb strapped to it. Oh and in Titanium I deleted the app data just to be safe and remove that update. Hopefully this info gets around so no one else is surprised.

Looks like I was wrong, the phone updated while I was busy at work and is now not turning on. With my lady at home expecting anytime I was in a catch 22, do I turn the phone off and try and help it's safety or do I do what apears to have worked. Well I had faith in what I did and now have to revert back to a crapberry. I'm calling Verizon out on this one, there is no good excuse for me to HAVE to had updated and it shouldn't be a complex procedure to say no to any updates.
Mobile Care is the app to delete or freeze on a R800x to prevent ota updating.
Thanks a MILLION for that tip markcyst. I unbricked my phone so now I will be deleting "mobile care".

Help, I rooted my phone and I don't want it installing updates. But I got this notification that it has downloaded a system update and will install it when there's enough power. So I'm going to keep my phone on low until I find a way to prevent it from installing. Any tips guys and gals?
Does anyone know what the update is? The development may like for you to extract it from your phone. Could help in future development.

I just had the same problem to what I did was let it try to install but it can't because u don't have stock recovery.so it will still try but it will freeze and just pull the battery out then turn the phone back on and it will load right into cwm then just restart your system from there and u will be good to go. Its fast and easy

If I am not mistaken we had an app on our Evo's called FOTa.apk, do a search for it in google and see what they say....I have it on my Xoom and it works fine
I am going to try shfub's method. I think he removed the .zip update file so the phone will have nothing to flash.
I don't know if it is permanent but I clicked on the notification, went to /cache, removed the .zip update file, went back to the notification, asked it to install, had it reboot to recovery and fail, and booted into android. It stopped bugging me and stopped trying to download after that.

Do the same thing, except this time, after the failed install, when you are back in Android, type in adb shell or terminal
su
pm disable com.samsung
Alternatively you could freeze System Updates in Titanium.
Ok, heard lollipop was out. How do I prevent me phone from updating, and how do I stop getting notifications to update?
No stable xposed = no lollipop for me
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
Just tap and hold the notification then go to "app info" then untick notifications
Does this work?
I wanted to piggy back on this question. I updated my note 4 to lollipop and my phone went berserk. Fortunately, ATT sent me a new one and as soon as I connected it to WiFi and added all my stuff back with restores it automatically started to update. Fortunately, I caught it in time. Did a factory reset and have no added WiFi. I haven't been prompted to update. Is there any way to manually over ride or ignore the update?? I don't want this update it ruined my previous phone. Please help me I having a hard time finding people who don't want to update. Thank you!!
I'm in the same boat as vsitterding. Stuck not being able to use my wifi because as soon as wifi is on the update tries to download.

Using a Root Explorer, inside the System folder, i believe in apps or priv-apps , find the fota file and rename and add '.bak' to the end.
I'm not rooted so I couldn't rename the file. But I did go to settings>apps>running apps>software update and I turned that off. Update is not downloading. Even when I ask it to check for it.

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

Try installing them then using titanium backup to remove them completely including all files.
Sent from XDA app via my LG G3 D851.
Is anyone else getting a constant "permissions pop-up" that states something along the lines of 'blah blah controls phone dialing' then it gives you the 15 second choice of denying the app or allowing it (with the option of never showing that message again....which doesn't work). It comes up every 5 seconds and is making the phone a joke to use. There was a fix for the ZenFone 5 and I was wondering if there is one for the the 2 as well.

It happens with whatsapp, Facebook, Asus help (which can't be deleted). Earliest record of someone expressing this same issue was over a month ago. I was hoping there had been a fix that may help me.
Sorry, can't help as I haven't experienced this issue.
Maybe someone else out there who hasn't read/responded yet....
If you are rooted you could try the 'fix permissions' app available on playstore.
No guarantees it will work as i have not used it on this device. It had worked well for me on other devices.

This is interesting! I'll look into this throughout the weekend and post back if I have any success!
Same issue & really annoying.
Hi guys I think here is the issue is described in asus forums zentalk ( i cant post links yet) search for "Permission popup every second"
Apparently a firmware upgrade will fix it
Firmware download WW_2.15.40.13 and above should fix it.
But i have tried to copy the new firmware to the root directory but its not picking it up .
Very frustrating for what looks to be a good phone !
