Block updates- What server name/ip's does Samsung use? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know Samsung's ip addresses or url's they use to update the TAB S?
For about a week I have been getting annoying POPUP's from Samsung trying to force me to update. It takes over the screen and I want to block Samsung and get back control over my device.
Thanks.

Why don't you just disable automatic updates? No need to do anything drastic.

Because Samsung has disabled the ability to disable the update daemon. I am going to try a temporary root program and see but I still want to block them at my router so no unexpected foolishness down the the road.
My boss wants it fixed too as she has the same tablet.

Just disable automatic updates in settings. That is all that is required.

Again I don't have root.
My boss's S is set to "Download updates manually" but device downloaded the update anyway. It does not honor your choice and if you try to disable the update software it is greyed out.
What IP domain names do they use?

Again, you don't need root. Just UNCHECK Download updates automatically in settings.
There are 3 settings. Manual updates if you want to check manually(this setting has absolutely nothing to do with the automatic update setting)
Download updates automatically, uncheck and you'll never get another notification again.
Scheduled software updates - OFF.
That is all that is required.
If your device is notifying you to install an update then it's already downloaded.
Just root and delete it.
If you don't want to do that download Bk package disabler and disable the update notification.

My boss 's was already set to manual and it ignored her setting. It doe NOT work. Samsung is ignoring the setting.
Will BK disabler actually disable the daemon or just the notifications?
Someone must know their IP range/ url's?

Well it works perfectly on my Tab S and the other 3 galaxy tablets I have.
BK package disabler can disable updates and the notifications. Just need to disable the correct packages.

Ok just tried the BK on my boss's S and it worked great. There were 2 daemons to disable and now no more popups.
I will do the same with mine at home tonight.
Thanks.!

ohh, then you should not update.
try going to system/apps/google services framework and untick "show notifications"
or
(better)
download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun
select advanced mode, then in settings check 'show system entries' and then find Google services framework, and disable the one with 'system update receiver' in the name
(you may need to refresh the list first) "
if you are using titanium backup, you could also try to freeze the update app.

Using Titanium, or any app that freezes for that matter; the app i believe you want to freeze is SDM (mine is SDM 1.0).

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.

Can't Get Rid Of Security Notice On Rooted Note 7 VZW

Having a constant "Security Notice" on phone since rooting. Everything else works fine. Is there anyway I can maybe deactivate this function?
freeze in titanium backup...

to get rid of the security notice you will get(because the system is now rooted) simply install root explorer(or any root browser) and go to /system/app and delete securitylogagent or go into the folder and rename it adding .bkp to the end of the file name and reboot.
per
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68675715&postcount=2
I began getting this, too, after rooting my Note7. I solved it the way others suggested, with Titanium Backup by freezing the Security Log Agent. That worked for me.

do you still have knox? i use samsung pay and security folder
You used the sprint method root at the N930V PHE or PH1? Not really related to thread, but just out of curiosity.
Same problem....
I'm having this same problem with my rooted note 7.
I've searched everywhere for securityagent on my note 7 and it's not there. The only way I can remove this threat found/restart device, is to remove device maintenance.
But then I lose the app done function and the advanced setting power saving mode.
I have disabled all knox and security realated apps.
But still still get the threat while device maintenance is there.
Does anyone know what the equivalent to securitylogagent is on a note 7 ????
Any help would be much appreciated, I am a noob, until 3 days ago I knew nothing, but I managed to unlock frp and root my note 7, but its been stressfull. I need help now...thanks.

You should have a package named SecurityLogAgent. Disabling this will stop the security notifications due to rooting. If you're referring to the Samsung messages regarding the recall, then you need to disable the Samsung Push service or just the notifications.

I'm not referring to them notifications, I have disabled Samsung push.
There is no package with the name 'securitylogagent' on my note 7.
I have researched this alot before joining and posting here. Its simply not there, no matter what I use to look for it. Just not there..
I would really like device maintenance back.. that's how iv got it disabled at the moment.
I am referring to the 'that found/restart device" warning that flags up in device maintenance.

Strange, there should be a folder at system/app/SecurityLogAgent
What firmware version are you on? What have you used to look for it?
I'm on 6.0.1, that I rooted on Sunday after I accidentally updated package disabler. I am a complete noob and have managed to just about get to this point without help.
I have looked for it using titanium backup, root browser and device control. It doesn't show on any...
So I have disabled a load of other things including device maintenance, com.samsung.andoid.sm.devicesecurity, and security manager service...
I was hoping one of these was the equivalent of securitylogagent.
Does this information below help?

So by the build number I see that you are not on a Verizon firmware so the app names may be different. It appears you have UK firmware so you will have to find what the app name is for that firmware.
What I can suggest is that the next time you get the notification, long press on the icon at the left. You should be taken to the notification options for that app and you should also see an app info button on the right. you may be able to track the actual app down using this info or at least disable notifications.
Thanks for your reply.
Oh crap, I'll never find it then...
Is there a way I could post an image of my system so as some experienced members on here may look at it.??
Thanks again.

How to disable update check?

I have the latest official 8.1 ROM and don't want to update to PIE yet.
But notification about this update is just like the ones from iPhone, keeps coming back and I see no way to turn it off.
I've disabled automatic update in developer settings, but would like to disable checking for update and notification about it also.
In my other phones there always was system app called "Update" or "System-update" and stopping/disabling it was enough to stop bothering me.
Is there any way to disable checking for update and notification about existing update?
My phone is not rooted.
When the notification comes for the system update just slide it right/left but not all the way, just halfway across the screen and let it go. This way you'll see "snooze" and a "gear". Tap on the gear and then "Don't show notifications"

I'm sorry, English is my third language and sometimes I don't know how to make a correct accent on the specific part of the question
the main part of my question is to disable checking for update and after doing this notifications will disappear
I understand that I can just hide the notifications but I'd like to know how to solve this problem completely

I don't think there's any thing more you can do about it Disabling from Developer Settings and hiding the notification is all I can say about it
Disable automatic system updates in developer options.
If developer options are not enabled, activate by giving 7 clicks on "Build number" (Settings / About phone / Build number)
Go to System / Advanced / Developer Options / Automatic System Updates
Disable and no longer have automatic updates. When you want to update, you'll need to manually fetch.

Updater not showing in settings

Using star2lte: lineage-17.1-20210121-nightly-star2lte.
It's only a minor problem because I can always do adb sideload but I'm sure is was there at one time. I can see the updater in the apps but I can't see any way of running it, also new updates are not announced.
Is there any way of getting the updater to run again?

Nice. I can reproduce this picture with disabling updater app.
Ok, that's interesting. How did you disable it, or more appropriately how to you re-enable it? It's possible I may have disabled it by accident.
I've just checked under Apps, and it's is enabled, weird.
Thanks.

Just tried that. For good measure I also stopped the app, cleared cache and data and then enabled the app. After that I restarted the phone. And it's still missing in settings!

Updater keeps stopping, I guess that's the reason it doesn't show. The question is: why does it keep stopping?
