Stop LG/Tmobile system update?

I am running skydragon rom and unfortunately my phone downloaded an LG system update. I did not install it, but i do want to delete it and remove the reminder... Plus it's stopping me from installing some of the LG apps that have been removed...
How can this be accomplished. Thanks.
Wow.. Anybody.
I'm not sure on the location of the update, but for me, I just pulled down the notification panel, long pressed the Update notification, clicked on App Info, then unchecked notifications, clicked ok to confirm, then checked it back on.
That removed the persistent notification for the T-Mobile system update, hasn't shown up since in about 3 days time.
I tried that... It worked for a few hours then it came back.
You can always leave it unchecked, but I'm not sure what other apps use Play Services for their updates or other.
That's my worry. I think a lot of other apps use play services.

Apparently many people have said that you can disable the updates by getting into the hidden menu by typing this in the dialer: 3845#*851#
Click on WLAN Test
Go to OTA
Disable
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I hope it works for you. I accidentally downloaded the LG update as well, but for some reason the update notification is still there. super annoying!

If your rooted, you can use a root explorer and delete the update.zip file in the /cache folder. That will take care of any auto update when you reboot your phone.
Since I'm running stock, I also froze the following apps with Titanium Backup:
App Updates 4.20.100
ConfigUpdater 4.4.2-940549
LGSetupWizard 4.3.020
Update Center 4.20.100
I get a notice once in a while when I go to wifi, but I noticed that the update is no longer downloaded to the /cache folder after freezing the apps above.

[Q] How to turn off the OTA Notification?

Is there any way to get the ATT OTA Notification to go away (in the phone and notification area)? I do not want this update as I has soo much trouble in getting root on this phone in the first place.
And how do I keep it from asking me again?

Nevermind. I ended up using Titanium backup to wipe the data for "AT&T Software Update" and used Titanium backup to make a backup and uninstalled it from my phone.

[Q] How do I stop the System Update notification from popping up

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

How to turn off update (OTA) notifications on rooted non-developer Verizon Note 4

I went through all the steps to unlock/root my Verizon Note 4. I _thought_ that included turning off all of the OTA/update stuff so that I wouldn't accidentally accept and update and destroy my hard work.
However, I got an update notification the other day, and it has persistently asked me to update every time I unlock the phone since.
How do I turn this off permanently?
Download Titanium Backup and disable system update.

Thank you. I was kinda hoping for a little more information. Which apps should be frozen to turn off the automatic updating? I thought I had everything that was OTA-related frozen already, but I obviously missed something. So I'm hoping to get a list of what I should check.

USE TITANIUM TO FREEZE "System updates 1.0" , there are two of them next to each other in the program list. Then go into TWRP recovery and wipe cache.
Thank you! I had missed one of those two. Now they're both frozen and problem solved.

Disable OTA completely on 7.1.1

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..
