Hey guys, my S3 recently downloaded some system update to my phone that I don't want. I'm rooted and I don't want to lose root. I'm not interested in the system update either. How can I remove this notification from popping up constantly? It sometimes gives me an option to click "later" under the notification which sends it away, but a new notification for the system update immediately pops up again. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have the same issue. I have no idea what this system update is, or how to turn it off.
EDIT: I think this is the NJ2 update. Strangely enough, the upgrade notification remains even after I ran the upgrade. Maybe this threat can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249350

So, last week my phone received a system update, which I didn't apply (running leedroid rom) and now I can't get rid of the 'a system update is available' notification. Is there anyway to clear this off without applying the update?
yes there is. go to settings->about phone->system software updates-> uncheck the scheduled check, confirm and you are ready to go.

That's the first thing I tried, it doesn't get rid of the existing notification.
just do that and reboot then. i have never had a notification after unchecking that.

I was pretty sure I'd already done that, but just tried it again (checked that the scheduled check is disabled and rebooted) and the notification comes back when the phone restarts.
did you downloaded but not applied? the onle thing left.

Go to manage your apps and clear the cache for the updater service/app that should fix it as I had the same problem

Fantastic! Thanks, that cleared it instantly. Much appreciated.
So after playing with the new update, I decided to revert back to Skyraider. However, I keep getting the update notification. I have renamed "otacerts.zip" to "otacerts.zip.bak" accoding to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844702
and confirmed that my build.prop has the magic "FRF91/264707" needed to prevent the update notifications:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836120
After confirming both changes and a reboot, I'm still getting the notification. Any other solutions? This is really annoying. Even if I hit Install Later > Clear notification it will pop up again after I turn the screen off.
I've confirmed that I haven't downloaded the update (cache is clear), so I'm at a loss. Anyone else having this problem? I could reallly use a fix :/
I'm having this problem as well. I've tried freezing updater and upgrader in Titanium as well to no avail.
EDIT: on second thought, after a reboot and one additional nag, freezing seems to have done the trick.
try this ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17372850&postcount=638
Another thing you can do is to reinstall your backup and quickly change the "otacerts.zip" and you will never get the update.

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
OK, today I received an android update notification for something that's 87.1 mb. I have a D851 running SR Lollipop G3 v. 4.0 (krowley3). I have OTA disabled in the engineering menu. I checked the cache and there's no file there yet. So... Does anyone know what this is, how it got around the engineering menu ota disable, and the easiest way to turn off the notification? *I long pressed the notification and it showed as Google Play services?? Now I'm really confused. Any thought? Thanks in advance.
Alright, I think I answered part of my question. I went and read the T-Mobile update information on 20e and it shows a 87.1 mb download. I wouldn't have thought it to be that small, but it is. So that leaves me with wanting to get rid of the notification nagging me every time I turn on the phone. Thanks in advance for your help.

Using a root explorer like ES File Explorer go to /cache/ folder and delete the update.zip file. Reboot your phone. If the notification is still there go back to /cache/ folder and make sure that file is not there. Then just take the OTA and it should error out because the zip file you deleted. The notification should be gone after booting up your phone again. But make sure you DELETE the UPDATE.ZIP before accepting the update from the notification.
This thread here by Autoprime should help you if my method doesn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412
Went through the thread then went through the system files looking for anything obviously related to fota etc. , but nothing popped out that I felt comfortable modifying. I never downloaded the update so cache was empty. I eventually long pressed the notification (google Play services) and unchecked notifications. It got rid of notification. I guess I'll probably have manually check to update any apps, but I'll gladly take that over the never ending notification. Thanks again to all for the responses/help.
Hi guys, this will be very simple for most of you, but for me it's difficult.
I want to disable completely the OTA updates of my device, currently I'm using Nougat 7.1.1 1st July security patch level and I really want to disable it because it doesn't stop appearing on my screen and consequently annoying me.
Thanks in advance!
just upgrade to newest soft, why you hesitate?

I'm rooted, so it would not allow me updating, so if I'm rooted why do they keep annoying me?
There is a file otacerts,zip in the /system/etc/security/. If you remove it (copy to safe place) you should stop receiving updates. I haven't tried by myself, so please make a backup of your rom first.
If you just want to get rid of notification popping up, just hold notification to get those two icons which lead you to app notification settings and there you can block notification.
For rest of the available options (disable Motorola update service), just google it

Why do I hv to upgrade? If it's not broken, why change/upgrade? Not everything that's newer is always better, at least for us users..
