I have a Taiwanese H815 which I have rooted using the injection method. I frequently get a software update notification, but the update always fails because the phone is rooted. In the Software Update screen I have unchecked "Check automatically" and "Auto-install updates", but this doesn't stop me getting a software update notification every day or so.
How can I stop these software update notifications?

Thanks for that. Unfortunately when I dial that number I don't get a "wifi test" option. The only options are:
- Device Test
- ELT Test
- SVC Menu
- Field Test

Well, why don't you factory reset phone, allow all OTAs and then root and so on. You can root both LL/MM now

Sry, not factory reset, use LGUP and upgrade option. Search the forum for LGUP or tell me and I'll explain you step by step. Cheers
The factory reset wouldn't remove root, so the OTA would still fail. It's a Taiwan model and I've been told it's not possible to get MM and root on it.

I've looked at the LGUP thread and it seems to require installation of TWRP. I don't think this is possible on the Taiwan model as the bootloader can't currently be unlocked. Is that right?

Thanks. I'm not actually interested in doing the updates (unless I could actually upgrade to MM and root it, which I've been told is impossible for the TWN model). I just want to suppress the daily system update notifications.
Thanks for the link in your PM. I've tried the "Disable Service" app mentioned in the thread, and it indicated that the SystemUpdateService (in Google Services Framework) was already disabled on my phone- maybe because I followed the instructions earlier in this thread? I have no idea why I'm still getting a daily system update notification. It's annoying because I can't just swipe it away like a normal notification - I have to go into the System Update screen, select the update option then abort it (every day!)

Maybe you can go to settings-apps-find something like "system update" and deslect show notifications. On Sony/HTC ROMs they have this option.

I just bought a new epic and received it in the mail. I want to root it because ive rooted every other phone ive owned. I see something that sprint just came out with new update yesterday or the day before. Whats the best way to root it?. Should i activate it first then root or root before i activate?
If it were me I'd activate, update profile and prl then root and rom it...
Enjoy...
There is a How to that you can use to flash the rooted version of the update.
I don't think it matters if you activate.
Why not activate it and start enjoying the phone while you figure it out?

You dont have to download additional apps just the root tool. It will root your current setup so nothing really changes besides adding root. Just select option a then option c and your done.

I received the notification to upgrade to 7.0 this morning and as I was downloading I was notified I did not have enough space. After making space on my phone the notification does no show nor do I get the suggestions in the "System Updates". Whenever I try to update it tells me "Your device's software is up to date." even though it is still running 6.0. What do I do, I've tried a hard reset.

Today at 3am my phone on its own installed LGSafeGuard app. It's not in my launcher. I can't uninstall it. It's listed only as system app. I'm running latest available stock T-mobile rom, not rooted, not modified in any other way..
What the hell is that app? Another spyware app from LG?

LG haven't released security updates for V30 in literally over a year now.
I'd imagine security updates would come through the usual OS mechanisms, and not a forced app install at 3am. And wouldn't a bootloader update require a reboot afterwards? This spyware didn't require a reboot...

It doesn't say it's a bootloader update. It says it's something to prevent bootloader hijacking. What form comes in, I don't know. But it seems to match the timeline.
The people so far getting it do not have the bootloaders unlocked yet and are not rooted. (EDIT: others are now getting it too, already with unlocked bootloaders.)
So far seems to be T-Mobile only, because T-Mobile has a bootloader unlock setting which actually works.
If you find out more or different information, please let us know.
The bootloader vulnerability seems like the likely reason this was installed on our devices. I have t-mobile version and this was installed on my device as well. I'm rooted with stock ROM.
There are two permissions associated with this software package:
android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
com.lge.permission.RECEIVE_PACKAGE_ACTIONS
I originally disabled this apk as soon as it was installed before rebooting, but have since enabled it and it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Lots of system "apps" don't have icons nor ability to uninstall unless you are rooted. And no they don't have documentation. It's quite common. If rooted, look at the huge list of "apps" available in Titanium Backup for backup/restore. In that list, over half -- even those with LG in the name -- have generic green Android icon because there is no assigned icon. And of course they won't show up in your launcher.
This is why OCD debloating discussed in another thread is such a bad idea. You may not know what the system apps actually do and it may be something important. I'm not saying this is important -- I'm just saying no documentation, no icons is quite common for system apps.

Actually, @jsndr had already posted yesterday that they received it on their rooted, stock phone.
I am speculating that LG wrote this for all phones affected by the new bootloader vulnerability, but they depend on carriers to push it on the carrier models, and only T-Mobile bothered to do so.
The fact that we didn't see it on US998 (combined with other evidence) probably just confirms that LG considers it a US Cellular model rather than a true Open Market model.
If I still had my H932, I would just remove this using ADB uninstall. Along with SRTC, MLT, and com.tmobile.pr.adapt, all of which just slow down the phone and report home to LG/TMO about your actions.
OBVIOUSLY take a backup first

On mine it was in Settings -> General -> Update center -> App updates. So pushed by LG.
While I am on US998, the phone IMEI is LS998 (if that's what they go by).

Hi everyone,
I found you when this software came on my phone on 8/25, and I went "What the crap is this now?" LOL.
I wanted to share that I have an LG G7 Fit, and my service is with Mint Mobile, who utilizes T-Mobile network. My initial thought is this might be some kind of tracker app for COVID contact tracing purposes? Or a precursor to a roll-out for it? I figure they likely wouldn't outright name it in such a way that we would know that, you know?
