How can I stop the OTA Update nag? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am rooted, bumped and custom ROM installed so I have no interest in downloading and installing LGs OTA update.
Is there someone out there that know how to stop the nag coming up every once in a while?
Thanks in advance.

Install ROM Toolbox Lite and use the App Manager in it to freeze the System Updates app. It is a system app so it will be under the second alphabetized set of apps.

I've just done this using Titanium Backup.
I'll see if that'll work. Thanks.

Anyone got the New Market update yet?

Did any DINC users got the new market update yet? couple of my friends, non-Verizon, got it already.
It might be out, the 152#build of nightly I installed had a new market in it without installing a pirated apk of the new market. I recently just installed it so it was a fresh new install. I don't know exactly if it was meant to be there or if it was a pre-made market install from the rom.

I don't know about any OTA or whatever, but it's very easy to just install the apk for the new market, there's plenty of threads about it, with an easy apk download, I'm running it.

Nope shouldn't be as mine updated last week, if you would like it to force update to the newest market you can go to settings/manage applications/market and hit the delete market updates button and it should update to the latest.

I've seen people mention using titanium backup to freeze the device manager or updater app. Something to that effect.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
thanks but i don't have a clue what that means.
i installed Kies on my pc to try and find the download and "push" it through with Odin, but Kies tells me my firmware is good.
i have NO idea where to dl the newest OTA from T-Mobile and then i'd have NO idea how to push it with Odin.
help, someone????
Titanium backup is an app from the market. With it you can uninstall system apps, or simply "freeze" them, meaning they are still there but no longer allowed to run.
"Device management" is the system app that's notifying you of the available ota update.
So, to answer your original question, download titanium backup and use it to freeze device management in order to get rid of the ota notification.
All this assumes of course that you are rooted and running a custom ROM. If you aren't on a custom ROM, then I wouldn't understand your wanting to avoid the update, as it appears it doesn't affect your ability to root, and may not even unroot your device.

Will anything else be affected if you freeze that app?

i wasn't trying to avoid it, i was originally trying to install it, but Clockwork wouldn't let me; a couple people in here tried to offer 'halfway' help, but stopped answering my questions, so i mainly just wanted to get rid of the nag, since the mod i flashed got me to 2.3.6 anyway.
turns out that Perfect Backup let me clear the Device Mgmt data, and that got rid of the nag. so i didn't have to pay for Titanium Backup (can't freeze stuff unless you pay for it).
so the resolution is that once i'd flashed to 2.3.6 the OTA was just in some kind of cache, i guess, and all i had to do was clear it.

i just went through the exact same problem. go get Deodexed KL1 (i think it's a stock ROM) and it'll do what the new update is going to do, flash you to 2.3.6.
flash the modem, too, with Odin (KL1 modem) and then find your Device Management 10.* and Clear the Data using Perfect Backup (free).
i was unable to get rid of that nag/notification until i did that.
there may be other ways of Clearing the Data for Device Mgmt - maybe in App Manager. In any case, when i cleared the data the nag was gone.

Flash Mr X's deodexed stock rom. the rom your device downloaded is designed to work with your phones stock recovery and not with clockwork mod. X's rom works with CWM.

Thanks guys. I should have waited for the hint. I ended up resetting the rom and it fixed the nag. So clearing the cache would probably fix it too and save me a lot of reloading of apps and settings.
[Q] Stop OTA for Samsung GS 2 on T-Mobile
Hello!
My wife has a rooted GS 2 with the stock ROM from TMO. I am concerned that the new OTA (T989VUVKL1)might break her root functionality, cause repeated update notification, or cause her phone to no longer work. Does anyone know the app or file I need to freeze or delete to stop the OTA from happening? At this point she is also getting the notification to update (eek!) At some point I will want to upgrade the ROM to the newest one assuming I can keep root access. Thank you for all your help and support!
Freeze device manager.

have the exact same issue recently... didn't have it before... recently i installed photo editing apps. Seesm ot have taken a toll.
Are you guys rooted or running a custom rom? If so, you can use titanium back up to freeze it, then reboot and it should go away.
It's for OTA updates.

Thats what I was thinking. So lets say I delete it, It won't give me any problems other than I won't be able to recieve OTA upgrade? I can always manually flash when samsung releases ICS upgrade.
So its safe to delete it right?
I always uninstall with titanium backup....no issues

Lost Root/SU

I know this is in the wrong section, but I need immediate answers, so bear with me here!
I am running PA 1.5A and have been rooted for months. Suddenly a few days ago however, I noticed apps were getting denied superuser permission, and I tried uninstalling all updates then updating, but it didn't work. I can't even try to reinstall busybox because it won't let me
HELP! Thanks!

do you still have recovery? CWM OR OTHER
IF SO TRY TO REINSTALL super user, then update it, the binarys
or restore a backup, or have you tried running fix permissions

Software Update for Rooted Stock

My phone has rooted stock, MA7. It's been through one update without a problem. I just had to restore root. On the second OTA update, I tried Root Keeper. I kept root, but the update will not apply. It starts the update and a red exclamation mark appears on the droid and it reboots. No update applies.
Now, I am reminded over and over to take an OTA, 28.5MB in size. It fails every time I try.
How can I apply the latest update to my rooted stock? If not possible, is there a way to turn off the reminder?
When you applied root did you also install a different recovery? That would cause a fail. Bte the update isnt all that. Either way to remove notification go into titanium backup. Freeze system update. Exit. Then reboot to recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. Done and done

I am using standard recovery. No custom recovery loaded.
Thanks for the info on freezing. I can freeze for now but I think I will have a problem at next update.

Actually freezing stops the ota notification indefinitely. Be aware in order to update prl and profile you will have to temporarily unfreeze that app.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Freezing software update didn't fix it. It keeps coming back. I tried swiping notification away and then freeze and tried choosing Install Later and freezing. Neither works.
When I get app info on the notification, it brings me to Google services framework. Can't freeze that.
Any way to flash the update via recovery or some other way to apply?

Did you wipe cache like I said to after freezing the app?

Whoops. Missed that step. I went ahead and cleared data. We'll keep on eye on it. Thanks again!
All you have to do is delete /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and clear caches and reboot. You will never get it again.
Wrong thread.

I had a same problem. I searched threads and found latest rooted firmware. I used odin and phone connected to pc. My memory is not greatest today but I think I was called Mr Robinson 66 or something very similar. Ota root keeper doesnt work with latest update.

An update on this. Looks like I had to rename the otacerts file and reboot to get it to go away. Freezing system update and clearing data might have been a part of it too.
