Is there any way for me to disable the automatic checking for OTA updates? I'm having the volume fix update pushed to me, but I don't want to install it because of CWM. Whenever I dismiss the notification, it just pops up again in about 20 minutes, which is quite annoying.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
yeah install it and re-install CWM... or update via CWM to something else e.g Modaco custom ROM....
If I update and re-install CWM will I lose any of the date on my phone or my settings?

Should be fine..... but if you have CWM already do a Nandroid before trying so you can restore if you need to. Not sure what you would use to flash stock recovery tho... because you can't use the update unless you are running stock recovery.
Does anyone have an answer to the original question---how to disable checking for OTA updates?

Install a custom rom... Other than that you can't stop it

it keeps telling me there's a tmobile software update, but when i try to update, it restarts the phone and goes into clockworkmod recovery and then i just exit back to the phone and nothing happens.
how do i update it or just turn the notification off?
Download 2.3.6 stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391174) and update via odin. I did same thing.
it wont erase my data won't it?

You cannot updatee if you are rooted. If you dont want to update, I believe you can freeze the notification using BloatFreezer or similar. If you do want to update you can either (1) do so via Kies or (2) un-root and then update ota. Either way you will be unrooted and have to re-root
i did update to 2.3.6 when i received the OTA and I click update and realize that i am rooted (root using superoneclick). I let the update goes through and after few minutes, my sgs2 is updated to 2.3.6 with wifi calling and great battery life. I think i will stay stock rooted until Nick (dev for Miui vibrant) made Miui for SGS2
Edit: Like everyone said, every phone is not created equal. Like mine, got updated even its rooted

I tried an app called voodoo OTA rootkeeper, I got it to temp-unroot my phone but after a restart it went into clockworkmod recovery. i restarted it again and it went back into unrooted mode.
i also cannot find bloatfreezer on android market.

Look at Page 13 of same thread. There is full description.
I've been a long time lurker, first time post.
I have been running the official AT&T ICS release I927UCLH2, and was notified of an update for my phone from Device Management. I am now updated to I927UCLJ3 baseband. To my surprise, my keyboard backlight is now working. So far, everything looks good. There is no sign of this update on the Samsung ICS page. Maybe AT&T is just going to push it out and forgo Kies altogether? Who knows?

I get notified too; however because I have CWM installed, it interrupts the installation and I can't install the update.
Any thoughts on what to do to get it installed?

Seconded here. Do we have to remove CWMR in order to update from the new OTA update?
I just got a software push from AT&T for my Captivate Glide. After the restart, the keyboard lights now work! About phone says: Android v. 4.0.4. Baseband v. I927ULCLJ3. Build number IMM76D. I'll see if other things have been fixed like, ringtones that stop working and clock being x time slow. Both of which required a system restart

I reloaded the stock recovery from my LH2 install and tried the OTA update. It downloads the update but fails to install with an "Update Failed" after the reboot.
I never rooted my phone only installed CWM for the Keyboard fix and to backup with CWM. Wish I had never installed CWM now.
Just got off the phone with AT&T myself, the rep said it should be available on Kies, they want me to try the new firmware before they'll continue warranty procedure on my wife's glide.
Edit: Well it's not, but it should be soon I guess.
Second Edit: On phone with samsung, they say the update is still "on hold" on his system. At&t told me to call them if I needed help with the firmware update.
Thanks for the info. Kies kept crashing on me so could not try it and OTA says I need to way 24hrs to try again.
Will try Kies on a second computer.
Is there any way to reset the 24hour AT&T update time without erasing the data partition?

I might have to try something similar since Kies nows says that "You device does not support upgrading via Kies". Since I did not root my phone it must either not be happy with the flashes I have done to recovery even though I have flashed back to stock recovery or the Keyboard fix I did.
This blows.
does anyone know if i flash with a stock AT&T from sam firmware on a Rogers i927(r) will I be able to update to the new AT&T version on Kies ?

Success!!
Here are my steps:
1. Restore a backup I made with CWMR before when I first installed it before making any mods.
2. Reinstall stock Recovery before doing anything else.
3. Get OTA update even though less than 24 hours since I restored a previous point in time.
Doing the stock ROM was my second choice but since I had a backup at least most of my apps and settings were recovered.
Good luck!
2.3.6 phone says no OTA update. I'll try Kies later.

is there someone who would upload it somehow, so I could flash it via ODIN, or something? I cannot update OTA, cause I live outside the US and at&t doesn't reach this destination. . .
Can somwone post the stock LH2 recovery please?

Downloading is in progress.
You can flash this with Odin.
Is this the same as before with Samsung Touchwiz for the homescreen ?

Yes it is essentially the same, but all the things that were wrong are supposedly fixed

How do I root this ?? I have CWM installed on it but am not sure where to get a CWM zip to install SU...
I found an odin flashable I927UCLH2.md5 and used it, and when into settings, about phone, software update, and it gave me an update and I'm downloading it right now.
The phone is now at I927UCLJ3. So AT&T can OTA push it instead of trying to force the phone to work with kies
Hi guys,
I've had my Zenfone 2 (I ZE551ML US Version) for about two months. Right out of the box I rooted it to remove all the Asus bloatware. I then unrooted it and reset it to factory settings. Whenever I try to get OTA updates it errors out once it boots into recovery to install the updates. Then it restarts and says "system update failed. Your system has returned to previous configuration." So I haven't been able to get any of the critical updates. I tried manually downloading the firmware and putting on the sd card but it doesn't seem to pick it up. I don't get the "update found" message so that I can manually install. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
you removed the bloat, that's the problem. flash latest full firmware, then root and disable the bloat (don't delete it). that way when a new ota arrives you just have to unroot to flash the new ota

Daaamn that's what I was afraid of.
Im looking for a way to update my HTC530 VZW to 2.11.605.4 OTA manually. I've tried using the update option in the settings menu but it wont show up with a download. I cant seem to find the 2.11.605.4 OTA zip file. Anyone know of a way to get this done? Or should i just try to root and install a custom rom? Thanks in advance.
Have you tried using the software upgrade assistant?
