My tablet is currently on stock MRA58K. I've rooted it, installed TWRP, and have Xposed installed (if that matters). I've been holding off installing the OTA system update(s) because I didn't want to mess with re-rooting (I see that's not a concern). Anyways, after searching for a fix to my Netflix playback problem, I see that it was fixed with one of the monthly updates (MRA58U). With this information I went through the steps of installing the OTA update (Settings->About Tablet->System updates). The updated downloaded and asked me if I wanted to install it and restart the tablet. Everything looked normal. When the tablet rebooted it booted straight into recover (TWRP). Confused by this, I just rebooted into system from TWRP. As far as I can tell the update didn't install. The build is still MRA58K and I still have the Netflix playback issue.
Is there a way to manually download and install the incremental monthly updates? I don't want to install the full blown factory image and have to re-setup the tablet.
Thanks
Maybe just get some MRA58V ROM since you have TWRP? And yeah, you wont be able to install official OTA with TWRP, you need to be stock for that.

I've been rooted since 2.2. I can DL the OTA update but when I try to install, it starts but then i'm stuck on the yellow ! screen. I've tried to update via the de-ox file here without wiping and get a boot loop. I tried a fresh install of the ox version and whenever I try to install anything (market or sprint updates) my phone automatically reboots. I did a fresh install of the de-ox and when I restore my apps, I run out of space. So is the update glitched or borked for some phones? I've gone back to my backup I made before the update and everything is fine.
Want to block OTA updates on my 8.4 Wifi. Anyone know what apk/file(s) to rename/freeze to keep it from trying to update? I'm rooted, but still on the stock ROM.
I believe it will not update ota now that its rooted, simple test is to check for update, go through that, it should end up telling you something like, file have been change or modified or something and it wont let you update

It's trying to update & I just keep selecting the 3 hour postponement. I'm rooted and it's still trying. On my phone (GS4) I renamed the update apk, but I don't know the filename of the one on the tab.

On mine I went into 'settings/general/about device/software update' and unticked automatically check for updates. Then booted into recovery (stock recovery still on mine) and cleared the cache (which I believe deletes the OTA update file) then rebooted.
Since doing that I have not had any software update notifications and the OTA file hasn't reappeared.
My tab is on the original stock ROM and rooted with Towelroot.
Here's my story. i had the new update brick my phone. i managed to backdate it to the I317UCUCNJ1 that worked previously, only for it to start begging for an update again and brick again i backdated once more, then deleted everything i could for the updates. now the Phone wont update, but it notify's me every damn day, several times, to get the update. i click ok and it just closes out, but how can i get this off
the problem is, the phone is rooted and it keeps bricking. if i flash it back to the previous version, what are my options? i've never had success with triangle away and i'd hate to really do some damage. its time for a new phone soon but i'm holding on to the 2 for now.
thanks for any help
If the phone is rooted...
Download the pro version of titanium backup from the play store....and freeze the software update apk from within titanium backup....and done...
The free method would be too locate the update apk and delete it using a root explorer app....
Either way....those nag screens for an update will stop...
Note:
UCUCNJ2 Update provides a partial patch for the stagefright exploit..
It is assumed that Samsung and ATT will be releasing another patch to fully isolate the stagefright bug...
If you want to stay fully protected....you could use an AOSP rom such as cyanide or CM 12.1 official as they are already fully patched.....but I'm not sure what OS you prefer...
I use both cyanide and CM12.1 official as I don't like bloated Samsung roms....g
A couple hours ago my phone with unlocked bootloader, twrp and magisk root installed an OTA update without me initiating it. This failed and the phone was stuck in twrp recovery and couldn't boot until I flashed a stock rom through fastboot and restored my backups.
Now I want to prevent this from happening again. How do I block the phone from checking for OTA updates?
I will have to install them manually anyway so the OTA checking is not helpful.
Same thing happened to me except I was dumb enough to try and install myself the update... You can install Titanium Backup and freeze the Motorola Update app. Also, you can go under dev options and disable automatic updates (this alone didn't work for me).
How to prevent OTA updates, without root, please?
I followed this guide, the method 4 worked for me when my phone was rooted.

With help from the Google, I finally recalled how I'd done it in the past.
Initially, I thought rooting would stop OTA updates, but that may have been prior to Marshmallow or with SuperSU.
This time, I used Titanium Backup (must be rooted) to freeze the MOTOROLA UPDATE SERVICE app.
As soon as it was frozen, the OTA notification disappeared from the notification bar and I gave not seen it return, for a couple days.
Yay! I didn't want to go beyond the stock firmware version that is available and I really didn't want Oreo.
Another way is to use a firewall app.
Also you can just add Motorola's address to your 'host' file to block it
Im the opposite, I want the notifications, without the automatic installation.
Wonder if I changed the permissions of the folder the updates download to, would that prevent automatic install?
also, there is an option in developer options, to turn off OTA.
Hi,
I've a Fire TV Stick Tank (old I know) with OS 5.2.7.6 (but I know there is a 5.2.8.0 update with new UI)
Update check says that there is a new update but, if I try to install it, it just "fake install", I have a screen with "almost installed update" and nothing happend, it stays on the same firmware.
Now many month ago I use some adb command, or apk to block ota (I don't remember), but I thought that with a factory reset, everything will reset. But it seems that the ota are not restored.
How can I restore ota update?
