I was having some MMS problems, and in the midst of my troubleshooting, I clicked on "Uninstall Updates" for my Messaging application. Does anyone know of a way to get these updates back? I tried re-flashing the 2.3.1 update, but I still don't have the option to "Uninstall Updates."
My Messaging app currently says it's version 2.3.1. Can someone please tell me if you have a more up-to-date version, and if you have an option to "Uninstall Updates" for the app? I'm wondering if maybe the "Uninstall Updates" option was there as a result of my troubleshooting and isn't regularly there. Thanks!

Thanks guys. I definitely had the option for the stock app, but it may have been the result of me messing around with some other mms.apk files.

Yes, that is why. It thought your other mms.apk was an update and or had higher version, you uninstalled that "update" and is now back to the original mms.apk that is stored in the /system/app folder in the ROM.
Hi all,
I am stock, rooted, and have TWRP. I have done the following:

heres the FIX it easier than redoing ur phone to stock just go to terminal command in twrp and type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.
EDIT: enjoy dont do the update also i wonder which OTA it is ?

I am still getting the OTA Notification (and at one point, I lost my mobile data).
I do have Root Explorer, and from what I have read, it sounds like I should just use Root Explorer to delete the contents of /cache/fota? I see the files that were downloaded from last night, but there are others that have older file dates. Will this eliminate the annoying notification?
Thanks!
I'm in the same boat. The dd commands will remove the files, but as soon as I reboot, the OTA package downloads again, hence the reason it seems the commands don't work (but they do). Basically we need to disable auto-updates and then re-run the dd commands from TWRP.
I just can't find where to disable auto-updates so I'm either blind, stupid, or very possibly both.
settings, General, about phone, rest is self explanatory

i too would love to know how to disable the OTA notification. It continues to pop up every time i turn on the screen. I hit back to get out of it but its quite annoying. There is no way to disable it from the phone settings. What app or process do we need to delete or freeze to fix kill this?
It should be as easy as changing a number or letter in the build.prop. If I could get screenshots of the build.prop of the updated and non updated I could write up a guide.

Don't see anything in Settings > General > About phone > Software update that will allow me to disable OTA notifications.
I did end up using Root Explorer to delete all the fota files in /cache/fota; restarted my phone and haven't had any notifications yet, though it sounds like it will automatically download again in the future (?)
Change permissions?
Seems like once the files in the cache/fota folder are deleted or renamed you could change the permissions on the folder (remove 'W') and thus not allow any files to be written there. True?
Did anyone tried to disable app updates application?

you don't have update center there in app drawer>settings>about phone>update center>software update?
When you open software updates, then there is a checkbox for automatic?
Switch that off and delete the current downloaded one. via the methods previously discussed.Then you should never get the prompt, unless you factory reset and its on by default again.

Ok, so it's not just me. I don't have "Update Center". Only option within About Phone is "Software update" which just checks for an update. I've got the Verizon LG G2 and am running 4.2.2 stock if that helps.
I've got a full backup and may just unroot, upgrade then reroot. Doesn't sound like I have a way of disabling. Changing permissions sounds a bit risky to me.
Just change the fingerprint in the build prop. Should say something like ...11a change the to the newest ...12b? And Verizon will think you are updated and stop pushing it to your phone.

Alright, I've got the notification to stop popping up for me on Verizon by freezing the Software Update app. Did it 30 minutes ago, rebooted and still no pop up. I tried searching for what to freeze as I knew there had to be something, but kept coming up with instructions for the GS4. I looked at what I thought was every combination but not Software Update (Update, Verizon, System, but not Software... dur dur).

Maybe if you read my post page back.
well within software update you disable the automatic checking.... it's the same thing man, are you kidding me? you guys cannot be that dense
then delete the downloaded update and your set...
It won't check for an update anymore, and the deleted fota won't ask for installment anymore.
Its that simple

Hi. See attached screenshot. Maybe i am dense but neither option allows me to disable notifications. Do you mean a different menu?
no I am the dense one, sorry,
I guess rooting and freezing is the only way.

I'm on T-Mobile G2. I don't see the check box inside "System updates". It displays "Android System Update" with this update ready to be installed with a big message. Between I haven't installed the OTA

So... are you saying there's no hope for me disabling this stupid notification without rooting? I'm too chicken to root (please don't slap me) and from all the crappy reviews of Verizon's version of Kit Kat I don't want to "up"grade yet.
Verizon released an update for my phone a few days ago. Being that I'm rooted I don't need the update, how can I stop it from popping up? I don't believe there is an option anywhere for it?
If memory serves correct, you'll have to either freeze or remove the stock system update apks (I think there are 2). And if the update has downloaded, just not installed, you'll also have to find the location it saved to and delete it. Then you won't have to worry about ever seeing it again...
You could start by unchecking 'Auto Update' under Settings > General > About Device > Software Update...

You can freeze or remove the apks with Titanium Backup, as for the location of the files, you'll have to do some research, as I'm not sure....

Because it's under Software Update. The option in About Phone (or About device, depending on your language setting) that's above Status and Legal Information.
Rooted 5.1.1. Xperia Z1 C - "Xperia system update" - New System Update Available" msg
So, like the title says both my and wife's rooted Z1Cs at 5.1.1 are showing annoying messages that overlay what one is actually interested in doing.
Not wanting updates, I have (so far) disabled:
"SoftwareUpdateService" in "System"
"SystemUpdateService" under Google Services Framework
...But the messages persist.
I assume that any OTA update removes root, so what did I neglect to do when I rooted the phones to stop this behavior?
Thanks!
Not sure about this one, but I've gotten OTA updates before without losing root.

The next time you get an update, pull the screen down and hold your finger down on it until you get the pop up 'app info'
Go to the app and untick 'receive notifications'
That should be it.
I think the latest update is minor, and you probably won't lose root, (if you can't disable the notification).

That choice was not available to me on Android 5.1.1 rooted on Xperia Z1 Compact.
What I do get is a slide-switch with the ability to turn this feature off and on:
"App Notifications
Software Update
Priority
Show notifications at the top of the list and keep them coming when the device is set to priority interruptions only"
I do NOT have any navigation from there, and there is no app that I can "go to" to untick notificiations, at least as far as I can see.
Still trying to ignore the stupid messages... the update brings the System to 14.6.A.1.236 and is said to be 9.4 MB.
The current revision on the phones at issue (Sony Z1 Compacts) is 14.6.A.1.216

@ThreeMMM made a PRF of .236 here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64167833&postcount=568 Might be worth a try to dirty flash, if you're backed up...
Go to setting/apps/all/softwareupdate and clear data to get rid of the notification, if you don't want to update.

hello
anyone know if i update fota the new update i will loose root?
phone ask me to update but i dont want to loose it
someone try it?
Install Titanium Backup and freeze the update service. IT will solne your problem as it solved mine.
Wysłane z mojego D5503 przy użyciu Tapatalka
the smooth way to get rid of persistent notification (also works for the annoying "75% of available memory used") is to use Terminal Emulator or somethig similar (ADB shell should work?):
Code:
su
pn hide *package name*
and if you ever want it again:
Code:
pn unhide *package name*
Every 15-20 minutes, a popup message comes up with telling me there is a software update available. I have already rooted my phone, and attempting to install the update just fails, but the popup continues to come up even when it fails. Is there a package I can disable/freeze or somewhere I can go to get this annoying thing to go away? It's got a notification that appears with a little syncing icon in the bottom corner in the notification bar, so I figure there is something somewhere I can disable, but not sure where to look...
Use a root file explorer to delete this folder system/priv-app/wssyncmldm or you can freeze it.

Removed the folder and reset the phone; notification still came up in the notification bar. Popup also still comes up on the screen.
Got rid of it for me, I also removed the 2 other folders below it. The other wss.... folders. Hope that helps. Edit: forgot I was in the VZW forum, I have att maybe there is another app for updates. Sorry
Try to freeze "SDM", that should do the trick. If it doesn't clear it, then clear the cache for SDM and then freeze it.

Searched for a package named SDM, couldn't find it; same thing searching for an app named SDM in the Application Manager. Is there another name for it? Because I searched also for something with the name of "Samsung D... M..." and couldn't find anything with that name...

I'm sorry, it's both of these I believe
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)

Right on the nose. Disabled and haven't seen the messages/notifications since.

Make sure you disable securitylogagent also.
I disabled these two with package disabler pro.
System updates (com.samsung.sdmviewer)
securitylogagent
I don't see this package:
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)
I am still getting the annoying notifications. Search has not revealed any other solutions.

Try to disable diagmonagent in package disabler it should do the trick.
This did not work for me.
I enabled all the packages. I then force stopped, cleared cache, and memory in application manager. I then disabled all three again and restarted.
The next day the popup returned.
In Titanium backup, simply open up both system update packages, freeze them then long press them each till you can select "open system details"
Once you open system details force stop and select notifications
set all notifications to off.
Once completed you can go into settings/ and select System updates, it should FC
Hope this helps.

Yes. Maybe you can disable the same apps going to settings/application manager/ more -system apps/ system updates
As i have located them.
I think this is the fix! I have not received any update notifications since.
More comprehensive instructions?
G935V non-rooted (came from rooted) and I cannot get rid of the OTA notifications. I found and disabled securitylogagent and com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer but cannot find com.samsung.sdm Still get the notification, can disable temporarily by clearing cache of system updates through system app manager, but they return later. Did someone figure out how to disable update notifications, as they do annoy me! Thank you!
Go to Application Manager for Samsung Galaxy S5 SM G-900V and "Turn Off"
1. System Updates (about 1.6mb or more in size)
2. System Updates (about 156 kb in size , rIght below it)
