Need a way to disable system update - G1 General

Hi guys, i need a way to disable the automatic download of the system update. What i think is also called OTA. Reason beeing a friend of mine is having a phone that apparently started trying to download an update from the 29th and then untill now, he is using jf adp 1.5. But it keeps trying to download a 35 mb file, up to several times a day, and were talking about 5+ times!!
He would hate to have to disable his apn use in general, just to prevent the phone from doing this. And to be frank i can understand that, so my question / challenge is, how do we disable the automatic downloading of such files?

It's trying to download the CRB43 update. Just upgrade to JF 1.51 ADP and it should stop attempting to download the update.

right, i guided him on how to do that using the jf updater from the market, but it kept having the download available in the system update.. So im guessing i need him to do a manual hard update, using the sd card reader, update.zip -> wipe -> update way then..

The update will be downloaded over the air, also known as Firmware over the air (FOTA). This means you don’t have to connect your phone a computer to update the phone. less
Please note that during the update process, your user data will be retained, however, we still advise you to back up your information, including contacts and calendar appointments. You can use HTC Sync to back up your information.
This software will be installed over the air through your data connection on your phone. You may choose to update via Wi-Fi if a Wi-Fi hotspot is available. You will get a notification on your phone saying that you have an update available.
What’s included?
* Optimized mail client for use with Exchange Server 2010

The HTC Desire Z is designed to check for a firmware update every 14 days. This is done automatically. You can also check for the Software update manually. Go to Settings > About phone > System software update > Check now. The firmware update is also designed to retain user information. Most user information will be retained. However, we still recommend you perform a backup before you proceed with the update. A Micro SD card is necessary for the update to work.

FAQ’s
What is Firmware over the air (FOTA)?
Firmware over the air or FOTA is a convenient way of updating the system software of your android phone. It doesn’t require the device to be plugged into a computer to perform the update. It also allows the phone to retain user information like contacts, calendar, emails, text messages and more.
How does FOTA work?
The HTC Desire Z routinely checks for software updates. When a software update is available, the phone notifies the user that a new software update is available and prompts the user to download the update file to the phone. Once the user has downloaded the update file, which gets stored into the memory card, the device prompts the user to install the update. After the installation is complete the phone reboots and the device is updated.
What happens if the downloading breaks in the middle?
The download manager is capable of resuming a download. If the downloading is interrupted because of data connection loss, or the user turns off the device, the download will resume as soon as the next data connection comes back.
What happens if the installation breaks in the middle?
The FOTA installation is performed in the Recovery mode; there is no way for users to interrupt the process unless the device runs out of battery. In such cases the device can still reboot into Recovery mode and restart or resume the installation when the battery is back.
What is the FOTA behavior in roaming mode?
In roaming mode if the data connection is through 3G/GPRS, all check-ins and downloads will be blocked. If Wi-Fi connection is available then the checking and downloading can still work.

I cannot get it at this time.
I'm impressed, i figured Bell wasn't going to put any updates out until 2.3 hits.
Monday morning, I can now get the update.
44.5Mb.
Is there any good reasons to stay with Bell firmware?
Because they removed HTC locations(which is free) and also the car mode for their stupid buggy GPS app and also it comes with unwanted games like Asphalt 5.
My phone is currently on WWE RUU and I'll never return on the Bell firmware for sure.
Sincerely, I want to know.
Do I need to unroot my perm-rooted desire z w/ s-off to update my phone?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
No need to unroot, though if you removed any apps that come with the phone originally the update will not apply. Cannot say whether or not you keep root once applying the update as I did a full roll back to the original state. You do have to flash back to the original recovery (can't apply with cwm)

Hi all,
I updated today without realizing that this was a rom update. Prior to this, I had 1.34 which was rooted, S-OFFd S-CIDd (you know..)
Now, I'm on 1.82 but I no longer have root (although I am still S-OFF..!?). Does anyone know how I can go about getting root again?
Thanks.

I'm trying to get an HTC Desire Z Bell Canada phone but the folks selling them on eBay won't ship to the US. I looked on Swappa but can't find that phone. Does anyone here have one to sell me?
I'm looking for one with the stock rom or something rootable(Not OTA). Rooted or unlocked is not necessary as I can run gfree.
I installed this update before i realized that it was not rootable, does anyone know of a guide on how to roll back an update?
Maybe that thread can help.

HTC Sense seems to be actually syncing now.
Alert bubbles for homescreen are now blackish with a green outline
Speed improvements
Things not fixed
SMS Jumping bug
Thats all ive noticed so far.
Slow refresh
Anyone experienced slow refresh since the update. My widget for the email and the one for the Agenda when not accessed for more than an hour seems to take 5-6 seconds to show content. Same thing with the HTC launcher when playing a game or using any application, when I return back at the launcher there's nothing exept the bottom menu on the screen and it takes 5-6 seconds to show my widgets and icons.
yep also noticed the color change in notification badges. My widgets are loading instantly, curious if the radio reception may have improved at all. Need to get out and about for a while. Everything seems a bit faster but I'm sure that's do to the fresh install and reboot etc, we'll see.
Agreed, everything runs a bit faster...icons in apps drawer look snappier too.
So if I want to root and s-off I'll hsve to dpwngrade back to 1.34?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
everything seems faster EXCEPT when you use the slide out keyboard. everything seems slower that way. It takes quite a few seconds before the widgets and all the apps on the home screen show up.
Any way to downgrade this back to 1.36?
My home screen takes an eternity to load after unlocking. This also happens when i open the keyboard to unlock the screen.
EXTREMELY unimpressed. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.
As i work with software, this sort of careless programming makes me vomit.
Well hopefully we'll see Gingerbread before summer so all of this will mean nothing. [fingers crossed]
Could someone who installed this new update check what version the radio is?
How do you check the radio version?
For those who experienced the lagging, I did a factory reset on the phone, and it helps a lot, even after restoring all my apps. The lagging is not as noticeable.

[Q] Cancel download of OTA GB update?

Is there any way to cancel the download of the OTA Gingerbread update?
I'm on 2.3.340.MB10, Baseband BP_C_01.09.07P, rooted, stock ROM. I manually triggered the update check earlier (About phone→System updates). I got the update notice and selected “Later” (I want to wait until it's clear that I can keep or regain root).
Maybe an hour later, I noticed a download icon. The notification says Downloading updates and is currently at 18%. I went into Airplane mode to stall it. I tried rebooting and turning Airplane mode on and off, but the best I can do is stall the download and I can't stay in Airplane mode forever. (WiFi has been off the whole time.)
When I go back to System updates, I get “An update is currently downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete.”
Can somebody please provide me one of the following:
1. How to cancel the download
2. How to indefinitely not install after allowing the download to complete
3. How to upgrade and keep or regain root
Thanks!
P.S.: Does anyone know why the download started when I picked the Remind me later option?
not sure about the first two questions, but as for the 3rd one, P3droid posted rooted OTA build with instructions in DX section of his forum. I don't think links are allowed, but shouldn't be too hard to find.
Oh and yeah, downloading the update automatically after it's found is default behavior for DX.
Can't cancel, but after download it will ask you if you want to install now or later. Choosing later is your only option, unfortunately you will be reminded every four hours if you want to install or not

Thanks, folks who posted.
tech_head's tip indeed froze the download, since I rarely connect to WiFi. (Why updates are “Social Applications,” I don't know.) (Interestingly, I had the hardest time actually getting into this menu. Took about 10 tries.)
metamorphousthe's tip saved me from being paranoid about the download completing.
meshdub's tip I haven't checked into yet, but that's promising.
Thanks again!
Just delete a system app and the update will fail when it tries to install and then you're all set
I renamed the blurupdater.apk to .bak I think that stops updates.

OTA Update Failed

Hello,
I just noticed 1 hour ago I have 4.3 OTA update for my Nexus 10. However the update has been failed, due to vfxsound mod as far as I understand. I deactivated this app but I cant see OTA update again if I check the system updates manually it states that your system is current(4.2.2). What can I do to have this system update notification again?
My configuration:
rooted (supersu)
CWM recovery
Thank you.
Same here!

I can't update to 4.3 because of the same reason.
In my case, I installed both vfx and vhifi.
I deactivated and turned both of them into safe mode and tried to flash the update with stock recovery.
However, I still got "assert failed: apply_patch_check system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf"
There is a way to get the OTA update back, but I repeatedly failed, and ended up with error.
Someone please help us!
This happens because those files have been modified and are no longer the originals. Extract the files it is having issues with from the 4.2.2 factory image, replace them and try again, or just flash system.img from the factory 4.2.2 image and run the OTA again.
Edit: Also, to get the OTA notification again, go to Settings>Apps>All and force stop "Google Services Framework" then "Clear Data". Immediately return to the "About" screen and check for a system update. If any popups come up regarding allowing location services, choose "No" or otherwise don't allow it.
While the system update downloads, remove your google account, and re-add it to avoid any issues with sync, etc. on your google account. Keep in mind if you use 2-factor authentication via google, you'll need to add a new application password for your tablet.
I succesfully upgraded the system. As you said I replaced these file with the original ones. Now It works fine. The only problem is mx player doesnt work. I think they will update it soon.

Did you mean, "phone"? I can only speak for how this behaves on the Nexus 10. Also, if you enable location services (sometimes it tries when the google services framework starts back up) and you allow it, the OTA doesn't seem to show up (at least not for me, perhaps it's region-based?).
I had to redo mine several times while I replaced system files that had been modified, so I know it works if it's done the way I described. 60% of the time, it worked every time.
Also, try removing your custom recovery. I don't know how this affects things for the OTA but it's a factor I didn't have to contend with.
I'm pretty sure he meant tablet. I'm having the exact same problem on my N10.

update on stock rooted

I am on stock rooted MK2 with TWRP recovery installed. I woke up this morning to see that my phone had automatically downloaded the new system sfotware(i assume 4.4.2). The notification cant be removed from the notification bar and just says click to install. i dont want 4.4.2. My wife updated her s4 and it caused all sorts of minor issues with it. She was not rooted however. How can I get rid of the downloaded update and the notification? Also, is there a setting I can change so it wont try to automatically download updates in the future?
thanks

Im sure I will be needing the same information as I am still on 4.3 and want to stay here also, I can tell you I had the same thing with my Galaxy S2 and I remember I had to do something in Titanium backup to stop the update process, but I cant remember the exact steps.
I will be watching this thread closely, Thanks for asking the question!
Search fellas. On the notification . press and hold it. Then you should get a popup of "app info" select it and uncheck "show notification". This will get rid of the annoying update notifications. You can also delete the file from system although I am forgetting right now where.

Did that and deleted the file! It downloads it back and the notifications resurrects again.
I froze Configupdater, Sprint Installer, System Update
Disabled System Update on start up.
Dunno what else can stop this OTA notification!!
For me it's even more dangerous because I have the 720T running sacs for 720, hence the update that the system is trying to intsall is the NAE not NAF.
To be on safe side I'm thinking unroot and get to stock MK5 then upgrade to NAF then flash sacs again. This way the update notification will go away. Tedious but thats the only way I think I can get rid of this annoying notification.
Any thoughts?? Keep in mind I'm on 720T

interesting... I had recently ODIN'd back to stock and saferoot'd before calling it a day and woke up in the morning to an update. I also know that the update only downloads if you're on wi-fi. I know before I ODIN'd I was already saferoot'd with a whole bunch of crapware "frozen" by TiBackup and I never got the update. not exactly sure which crapware I froze, but I did it again this time around and I still haven't seen an update message for the past week. below is a list of what I froze... if you have the time to weed out the exact crapware needed to disable the update, please let me know! would be nice to uninstall the crapware that wont affect the update from happening while cleaning up the rest of the crapware.

looks like the inevitable just happened... with all the above items turned off/frozen, I still got the OTA download last night! I'm rooted with the hotspot mod and despite all of that, the OTA still came through. the update is located in /cache.

Indeed! I gave up on OTA block. The only way I can think of if you stop all framework notifications, but I dont want to do that. Got to NAF and CF rooted. Waiting for stable KK before trying it on 720T. I don't care for sparks.
As of last night I hadn't received the OTA update yet, so I decided to try to fend it off buy freezing the system update in titanium backup... I swear I'm at 10 minutes went by and I can I receive the OTA notification! So now it looks like I'm in the same boat right next to you...lol
As I said earlier back in my S2 days I remember having to freeze the "System Update" with Titanium, but I think I also remember having to boot into recovery and Wipe a cache or something, because something is placed in the cache that looks to see if the update was downloaded and installed, and if not just keeps downloading until it is. So the steps that I do remember are;
1) Freeze system update with titanium.
2) Delete downloaded system files (I'm not sure where they are located, so please help me out with this one)
3) Boot into recovery and wipe a cache or two (I can't recall if it was one or more then one, and/or which one) so maybe someone could help with that?
I am going to do some searching for the S2 instructions to see if I can find them, maybe they will help with this.... Not sure if the update process is still the same though.

as I stated in my last post, the downloaded update file is located in /cache. for the time being I've deleted that file and created a zero-byte file with the same name and its permissions set to read only. not sure what's going to happen if I try to update with an empty file or if I reboot, but I have it this way to hopefukky assure me that if I accidentally press update that it won't update successfully. I doubt cleaning up the OTA downloads will prevent it from downloading again unless you can somehow fake your version number.

Doesn't sound like a bad idea! But I can't believe there isn't a fix for this out there though. In my research I found a file for the S2 called fota-killer, you would think something like that wild be available for the S4.

I used the manual method rather then installing the zip thru recovery because they said the zip method is device specific..... I'll stop back in a couple days to update how it's working or b4 that if it doesn't!

New Update for Verizon SGP561 Android 4.4.2

I have the Verizon SGP561 running Android 4.4.2 rooted with PhilZ Touch & CWM & TWRP installed. I just received notice of an OS update. Has anyone else receive this and know what it is? I hesitate to take any updates and don't want to lose root.
OK--- Just found this to answer one of the questions --
OTA update 23.0.1.E.0.208 also includes "optimized touch sensitivity," better performance for users who encrypt their tablet, improved support for TalkBack (Google's accessibility service for the visually impaired), and minor UI tweaks to fonts, icons, and layouts. None of it is particularly crucial, and no , it doesn't include an update to Android: Verizon's version of the Tablet Z2 is running the same build of Android 4.4 that is was back in July. But it's hard to be too miffed about that, since the Wi-Fi version of the Tablet Z2 hasn't been upgraded to Lollipop, either.
Now the question is will I lose root if I apply it...
I would also like to know if we would lose root with this update.

i took the plunge and tried it...
i used the supersu and used survival mode and installed as a system app
I am STILL ROOTED
Thanks! Except I've tried 4 times to update and keep getting failed. Using stock recovery so not sure what's going on.

I didn't change my recovery, I only rooted it yesterday and then 20min later enabled su as system app and then survival mode and applied update. No issues here
So far running good, however when I go into settings and tick on airplane mode it actually doesn't goto airplane mode. The only way I can get air plane mode is by holding the power button and selecting air plane mode.
Not sure if this is a error with root or glitch with the new update.
We now have a reboot option tho (not like I have ever needed it on this awesome tab)
On mine the update fails. Says "There was a problem with the update..." As I said, I am on 4.4.2 using NUTs dual recovery and root. I install SuperSu as a system app .
It makes me disappointed I spent money on the sixaxis controller on play store to not figure out how it works for the Z2 tablet a month prior to this update.
Maybe I could use it on other non-Sony devices?
Since my system update thing doesn't work, is there another way of acquiring and applying this update?

You can use this software to download the ftf file and flash it manually using flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...perifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/ (will lose data and root)
Update: I've found a way to update the latest version without losing root and posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...et-verizon-t3054700/post59440416#post59440416
Any idea on a lollipop update compatible with the sgp561?
