I was just wondering if there is way to remove the update, besides hard reseting? I would really like to not update because I have not rooted yet.

I believe I saw somewhere you can use TiBU to freeze the "update" process.

If im perm rooted and I uninstalled bloatware, remapped genius button when a new ota comes out for the mt4g would it install regularly or what would I have to do?

im pretty sure you would need to update it manually...ie yourself
dont apply updates from OTA if rooted!
Apply a new rom yourself

There will be custom roms with the updates long before a ota one

It depends... if what you removed needs to be patched by the OTA then no it will not work. If the OTA does not attempt to patch those files it should go through with no problems. The workaround to that is to backup what you remove so you can put it back before the OTA applies or get on a custom rom.

Hey guys
I have been rooted with the Apex 1.4.1 rom for some time now. Recently, I read that the droid X will possibly be getting updated to gingerbread. If this is true, will I have to unroot to receive the update?
Thanks in advance!

No you don't have to unroot but you will have to flash back to stock in order to get the update OTA (it will unroot you by updating). You can do so with a nandroid, sbf, or maderstcok. Or you could just update manually when the update is released, assuming that there will be an update soon.

Hello All,
Should I freeze my updater so I do not get any future updates without me wanting them? I heard if you have a rooted devices with a custom recovery sometimes an ota update can not only remove root but brick your phone. If this is so can anyone show me how to freeze the updater?
Thank you.
Kinda would like this information since I'm still using my stock ROM and don't wanna accidentally take any otas

well its illegal to automatically update your phone without your consent so you shouldn't need to block anything. However ofcourse you could "accidently" update so its up to you.

If your on the stock ROM and rooted and have custom recovery installed you will absolutely brick your device. This happened to quite a few people here including myself and it took about a day for the devs to get our devices fixed when the first OTA rolled out. So yes freeze it. if your on a custom ROM then you need not worry about this.

What exactly do I freeze. I'm assuming I can use titanium backup to freeze it but I have no idea what to freeze.

My VZW G2 is rooted with the stock rom, no TWRP installed, some bloatware removed. I am receiving nagging notifications about the OTA update. I know a lot of people have had issues so I wanted to find out what the recommended course of action would be in my situation? Looking to make it as easy as possible as this is my first time rooting a phone. Thanks!

Please excuse my confusion, but which post on there refers to my issue? I did see the post about the FOTA folder. Is there something I should do with that? Thank you.
set automatic update check off, then delete this folders content and gone is the nagging.

Thank you for that explanation. What would be the best way to go about it if I wanted to install the update while retaining my root?

Wait until somebody posts a debloated root friendly version and flash away. Not sure if the update that's bugging people is 12b or if it's a different update.

So there is no way to use the OTA update even though I haven't flashed a custom ROM?

yes save the folder they are telling you to remove when a update comes out, if you want it then copy the folder back/set the permission rw/r/r and your good to go
How do set automatic update off? Or do I have to delete Or rename a certain file so this won't happen again. Thanks

Is there a safe way for me to just use the OTA update now?
if you have not changed recovery, and root only, just follow fellow people that have posted how to.
if you have custom recovery, there is a workaround that may or may not work for you.
