OTA Update Disable?

I got an OTA update on my T-Mobile LG G3 about a week ago. The notification keeps coming up despite me disabling the OTA feature in the hidden menu (3845#*851#) and freezing Update Center. What is the solution to stop this notification from coming up?

I was about to ask the same question. I am on the international 855 model, I got successfully into the hidden menu, disabled OTA, and yet I keep receiving notices about an upgrade. It seems that the OTA disable does not work,
I am rooted, TWRP, on a 20F bumped lollipod.
Thanks for any info on this.

I'm also rooted an on TWRP. I don't know what 20F bumped lollipod means.

bump. Is there a solution for this OTA update notification?

Have you tried the app Disable Service?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en
Open it
Go to System Apps
Find Google Services Framework and tap it
Uncheck "SystemUpdateService"
Restart your device.

The solution that worked for me was to also use the Disable Service app to uncheck "SystemUpdateService" under Google Play Services. After that the notification for the update went away.

This worked for me! Thank you. Hallelujah! The notification has been there for like a month. And it wasn't a normal notification. It would constantly flash and move around on my top bar. It's gone now.

"System Update Downloaded" when updating Google - is this Google or an OTA update?

"System Update Downloaded" when updating Google - is this Google or an OTA update?
I have an LG G3 D851 KitKat, rooted with a firewall, XPosed Framework, and all kinds of mods that I do not want messed with.
I just had a problem that was solved by restoring Google Play Store and Google Play Services from a two-week old nandroid backup.
Now I see a notification in the task bar, "System Update Downloaded - Android System Update". Okay, so this could be my Google updates, but I suspect it might also be a recent T-Mobile upgrade to my stock ROM that will lose boot and make my life a mess (BTW I have OTA update notifications disabled in the secret menu).
How can I be sure this isn't an OTA ROM update? If this is, can anyone tell me exactly where would I find the T-Mobile OTA update file so I can gleefully delete it?
Thanks!

I'm sure that update is for lollipop 20g

Update issue

Attempting to update my N7 to apply the latest Android updates. It is rooted, but standard Android and was on 6.0.1 MMB29K and I've managed to get it to MMB29V by using Flash Fire and doing incremental downloads/updates, but it refuses to go any further. FF goes through all the motions of looking like it is doing something, but the device always ends up still on MMB29V.
Where am I going wrong?

Thanks for all your help with that one, much appreciated.
Now for my next trick. When I go into Settings, tap About Tablet and then System Update the settings app crashes. Also, I have never had my apps set to auto update in the Play Store, but that setting changed on its own and updated everything in the background without my knowing. I have not been into the Play Store settings in months (years?) and could not have accidentally toggled this back on, so how did that happen? This is an immense irritation, as I like to dictate when to update things!

Constantly Recieving Wrong OTA Update Notification

I've already updated to the latest android 7.1.2 via adb tool. The image download from developers.google.com/android/ota.
But I still recieving android 7.1.1 ota updates notification.
If accept the update. It will process the download. After downloading finish, it says there's no need to install the update because my system is up to date, then the notification will disappear. But after a while the update notification will show again .
What's the problem with that. I haven't rooted my device.

Google Play system update

Anyone have the Google Play system update on Dec. 2020 on their 5G?
I've been able to get the update, install and reboot. However, after reboot the phone reboots itself again after a minute or so and reverts back to the Oct. 2020 update.
Anyone else?

No one?
January update doesn't stick either..

I have this issue also. Mine will update but revert back to the Feb 2020 version after about 1-2 minutes.

Thanks for the response.
It had been working fine for me until the latest system update (NA v.8.11).
In any case, I've been able to overcome it by sideloading the .apk(s). I installed the Dec. 2020 .apk and then tried to auto update to Jan. 2021 - same issue, but it would revert back to the Dec. 2020 update instead. Sideloaded the Jan. 2021 update as well and all is fine - now to see what happens when the Feb. update releases (or if we get a system update before then).
If you want to sideloaded the .apk as well, check this XDA thread. (although this .apk might only be changing the date displayed. ).

Good info, Thank you. I'll side load if the next update doesn't resolve it or we go into March without an update.
Just for reference, my RM5G was purchased as a new EU model. I let it go thru 2/3 EU updates until it was ready for EU V714(Latest) and then downloaded and flashed it to NA V811(Latest) instead. Since I updated with a clean device, no setup or account sign-ins until V811, looks the the Google play system version never updated past that initial shipped version (Feb 2020) and as you said V811 probably broke it.

I don't know if the Google Play system update is included as part of the rom - from your experience, it doesn't sound like it.
I unzipped the .apk and didn't see any significant content in it - I think it is only updating the date displayed without providing any of the actual update content. Furthermore, it can't be uninstalled or rolled back, so I no longer recommend using it.
Wait and see for now for me...

My RM 5G did update today to the January 1st 2021 version and has yet to reboot or default back. Maybe they got it sorted.

Good to hear - did you get/install the latest rom update first (v.8.12 or v.7.15)?

No update yet, I am still on v8.11

Okay, my phone updated to v8.12. After the SW update it reverted back to the February 2020 Play System version within about 5min. I manually updated to January 2021 version after about 4hrs and it has stayed for >24hrs.
We'll see how it goes.

Mine updated and rolled back aswell

Mine is currently stuck on always wanting to restart after checking for updates - even after restarting.
It had updated to the Feb. 2021 patch, but again rebooted on its own and reverted back to Jan. 2021... Since then stuck on the restart prompt.

Mine is also not consistent. It'll stay updated on Feb 2021 version for random day(s) up to a ~week and then just reboot and revert back to Feb 2020 version. I am tracking app updates to see if something triggers it.

Just got a Play Store update (tap on the version number in the Play Store settings) and was able to download/install the Feb. 2021 update and reboot. Rebooted again for good measure and sticking so far...

The Aug. 2021 update seems to have stuck on my phone now after being stuck on April 2021 - no double boot either on a reboot.
