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, all!
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.

You should be all set
Sometimes appears message "update was not successful"
Android Market not found uptade and I have 3.1 version. What does it try to uptade?
It appears you have an application you downloaded from the market that has the automatic update button checked. If this is the case, The TF will check for updates and download and install them. There could be several reasons why one did not load correctly ( ie shutting down during process. Just go to the market, click my apps then click update. Do not turn TF off until it has downloaded and installed.
Many of us have know that the newest update that was push 2.0.5 break root. Well, for those who didn't know, now you know. Let's me be clear, there is NOTHING TO BLOCK THE OTA UPDATE, unless you build your own firewall. That said, the mod that we had was to use sql and turn automatic OTA into manual thus unless you were looking for it, it shouldn't. Or something you did may accidentally turn it back to automatic.
That said, we had one report of successful revert back to the older firmware here from 2.0.5. I have made a suggestion to manually force the system to fail the boot 8 times and do a full wipe. And this should revert it back to the original firmware that came with the Nook HD/HD+. Well, in the future, this may no longer be the case, as newer Nook may come with 2.0.5 out of the box, but let's do this one step at a time, we aren't there yet and maybe better solution will come later. So, if you accidentally updated to 2.0.5, you should try the following.
Backup your naughty stuff that's on the internal storage (even if they are not naughty, do it so anyway)
Force the nook to fail at least 8 times. First you power the device off then hit the power button, and when it's trying to boot, hold on to the power button, and I think about 10sec after it will force poweroff. You timing have to be quite good and make sure it's not getting a success boot. You basically have to do that at least 8 times.
If you successfully did all that, it should revert back to the original firmware. I know that the 8 boot loop will reset it back to 2.0.0 from 2.0.2 because I did that before.
Try rooting it again.
I hope this help.
Interesting, I'm going to try and force the 8-loop reboot and set if I can get back to 2.04. I think then I also have to skip the out of box registration process as this automatically updates?
it Works
Confirmed !!
I have got my new Nook HD+ yesterday, and before I could root it, it was automatically updated to 2.0.5 by itself today.
So I did the 8 times boot manually, and the system was reset to the original firmware--2.0.4.
After the first boot by skipping the OOBE, I followed the "All-in-one" from someone0, and it works perfectly now with ADW launcher.
But I still cant get the titanium backup to run yet, it says SU error.
Thanks to someone0, leapinlar and verygreen for those great contribution :good:

You still need to run superuser once, did you do that?
Thank you for this very much. Is there no way to prevent updating to version 2.0.5 again? I came home, and my brother was playing on it, he told me something happened. I took a look, and it was updated to 2.0.5. Is there anyway to prevent it again in the future? Will the all-in-one basically disable updating? Since I did install that previously, and the version was still updated.
Sorry for the bother, and thank you very much. I will look into setting up a firewall.
Thank you again.
EDIT: I've conducted the 8-boot loop, and it should have loaded an earlier firmware; however, how would I bypass registration, or the version update check after the 8-boot loop? Thank you.
hiddenG. I had similar issue, I wanted to avoid update so I did a reset, but let it go too far and it updated me to 2005. I then did the 8 time interrupt and got back to 2004. I read here to google "nook color bypass OOTB" as the steps are the same for HD+.
It works
Only thing I'm having trouble running allinone. I don't think I'm doing it right. THe unregistered hd+ lists you as "test" and you have connectivity but no browser. I'm figuring I need to sideload a launcher and I'm looking into how to do that. I do have adb.
If you've registered you might have to reset and catch it as soon as you get to the language screen. You hold volume up. and touch lower left, then lower right to bring up "factory" screen. Then, holding vol up, touch lower right to bring up bypass OOTB.

Mine automatically updated even though I had automatic update blocked with sqlite. Furthermore, I no longer have access to content I previously purchased on that nook! I can't even download the nook app to fix, it keeps crashing when trying to sync.
Ps, if I re root using reset and skip oobe, then I still won't have access to my content, no?

I guess not, you're not registered at all.

Thanks dbrons, that solved my problem. Thank you very much.
Is there anyway to get rid of the "your library is syncing" notification when you use OOBE without turning notifications off entirely?

I also have the same question.
In addition, is there any way to get the "TEST's NOOK" text in the notification bar to be replaced with my own name?

I'm actually curious if this would work. When it suddenly went into 'must get 2.05' mode and I 8-reset it, I disconnected internet right after letting it register...and it pushed me into a loop trying to check for updates and wouldn't proceed.
Any suggestions on domains to be blocked if I were to try this again?

And also, is there any way to get rid of the App Update notifications. There are some that I don't want to update but the notifications keep coming back after clearing them.
So pissed off now....for no reason, when booting up this time my Nook went into a boot loop and reset itself! It wiped everything from internal storage, effectively killing off hours I had spent last night getting everything set on it with apps and root. (this was all after using the All-in-one batch file which supposedly turned off automatic OTA updates)

I spent most the day yesterday toying with getting my Nook HD running again after the 2.0.5 update. I did find that by performing the 8 boot reset back to 2.0.0 and going through the setup process and immediately powering the HD off as soon as it began to check for updates that after I restarted the unit it would bypass the update upon powering it up again and completing the setup. After which I ran someone0's Allinone script which did give me root and load the Google market place. I was able to then load all my apps from the market and change the launcher etc.... After leaving the HD powered on and connected to the network while idle the unit did an auto OTA to 2.0.5 and rebooted on its own. Upon restart, I was at 2.0.5 and root was gone, but the update left the Google Market and all my apps and data in place. Granted I don't have root, but atleast I'm able to customize my own launcher and load and side load any apps I've see fit that dont require root.

This was the exact procedure that worked for me, other than the fact that my Nook HD+ 8 boot reset to 2.0.4. So its definitely a workable solution until the awesome devs come up with a true solution!

can connect to pc
i got it to connect once and adb reconized it i was able to see its serial number by doing adb devices and then tries root and after the first boot my computer would not fully see it it would pop up in my computer and then dissappear it would continue to do this while i had adb enabled after i turned this off it would stop and the nook would show up in my computer but as soon as i turned adb on it would go all crazy and show and dissappear in my computer any help here would be great
Just sit tight I'm sure people are working on root for 2.0.5.

i have bypassed the update im on 2004
Since yesterday I've been checking whether the OTA update is arriving on my N4. Yesterday, when I pressed "Check for updates", the label saying "Last checked on" changed to the current time and the window stayed open.
Since this morning, every time I press "Check for updates", the label saying "Last checked on" changes to the current time and the window immediately closes.
What does that mean? Is something broken? A reboot didn't help. I'm running Android 4.2.2, no custom ROM, rooted with stock recovery (previously TWRP, but restored the original already).
Hi,
I have a strange problem. I can't update my phone. It shows me a popup every other day that I am 90+ days behind the latest security update, but then I click on update now, and nothing happens. It then shows me a notification "Couldn't install update / Tap to learn more" when I do that, nothing happens.
I downloaded the Oxygen Updater app and downloaded the update, but when I try to go into the manual update, that also doesn't work. It shows up to date, and when I click on it, nothing happens. I took some screenshots. I already restarted it several times, but that also didn't work. The device is rooted I have Magisk 38ab6858 (25203)
Any ideas on how to fix that?
Thanks!
Since you are rooted you have to do full updates. Can't do incremental ones. Go to the settings in oxygen updater to switch from incremental to full. If I'm not mistaken, there should be instructions in that app how to do the local upgrade, but there should be an option in the system update menu to do the local upgrade.
Worst case, it sits a few security patches behind. Not a huge deal, but annoying.
Hope this helps.
Also, if you are able to update this way, don't forget to go to the magisk app to flash after the ota BEFORE you reboot, but AFTER the update installs.
Thanks but I can't even open the update menu. When I check the disabled apps the "Software update" app is there disabled and no matter what I do I can't get it enabled. I tried to delete the cache and files but still. Any other idea?

I don't have any work arounds for that sort of scenario. A factory reset would fix it, or perhaps sideloading the update file? I haven't messed around too much on stock so I'm not sure if that would be an option.

Doesn't OOS 12 require this special updater app? At least that's what's been shared on the Telegram group and it seems to work - I'm still on OOS 11 so I can't test or confirm.
That's the text that comes with the apk: "OnePlus removed the local update option in System Update in OOS12. They later released this APK to restore the functionality"
Can't hurt to try I guess?
You need to activate developer options
After this there is the local update option available under the "up to date" menu if you press the settings or tree dots in the upper right corner.
I cant be more exact because i dont own a op8pro anymore.
