I applied ryanzas lag fix and want to remove it quickly. Will formatting my phone via settings remove it? Does this remove root because I want to keep that.

What version of his lag fix did you apply? You could just use the unlagfix option if you used the market version or the one click.
I did the original the one that required a computer. Can't get to a computer for like couple of days and wondering if I can just remove it doing that method.
Yes formatting your phone.still remove it

I believe if you download the lagfix from the market, you can uninstall it. It gives me an option to remove it.
Search for "lag fix" and you'll find it in the market.

This will only work for lagfix V1+ If I remember correctly. I had installed the one click alpha version via adb and wasn't able to uninstall using the OCLF app. I had to do a complete wipe to get rid of it. The unlagfixme didn't work for me. I installed the app to make life a lil more simple after my wipe.

Do a titanium back up of all of your apps, flash the vibrant stock firmware, or even the new leaked one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780935
Than use titanium to restore all your stuff, and you will have successfully removed it no matter the version you had used.
I have to go back to odin? You sure the format won't work?

If you did the computer one, you can undo it the same you you applied it, by clicking the file that says "undolagfix" or something similar.
I also installed OCLF but the market version and then I undone everything... But I noticed I still have update.zip should I delete it? Did stock vibrant come with update.zip?

Any idea how long it is supposed to take? I tried to use that and after "allowing" the application from supeuser permissions, it just kinda froze for about 10 minutes, so I rebooted my phone and then i bricked and the phone stayed on a black screen after the samsung G boot screen
Anyone else having trouble installing anything. I have trying cyanogenmod and skyraider. Both wont let me install apps. Yet I can on my stock rom. I am rooted. This all started when I got the ota update popup.

Do mean anything, or is it only specific apps? There is a way to disable the update pop up, so if you don't want that to pop up (assuming it still is...) do a search to disable that.
Can't install anything. What I ended up doing was installing stock letting the ota update then rerooting. But it still wont let me install anything when on another rom. Just my rooted stock.

Before installing another ROM, did you do a full wipe of user data and dalvik cache? So if you go into the Market, does it download then say that it couldn't install? Did you try clearing the Market cache?
also...sometimes you have to unmount the SD card, install app, mount SD card. I have no idea why, but thats what i need to do for a lot of apps....quite a pain
Tried remounting sd card. Still same weird bug. All I can use is stock rom. Thanks for trying to help guess I'm stuck for now.

Been trying to solve it for hours!
I NEED my Android stylin' for school!
I press install, then it downloads, but doesn't say the app is installed / the app isn't installed. Help meh.
How do I fix this, so I can install apps?

Edit:
I tried CM7 again but this time, a little combination of two instructions.
Before, I couldn't fix the market problem, like anything I tried (clear cache, data in the manage applications settings) didn't work. And the uninstall updates wasn't visible. So today I tried again but with some different instructions, and this time it worked! So glad I can use CM7 on my phone, so awesome.
Are you using a stock ROM or a custom ROM?

I've been having this problem lately (on both Bandroid's ROM and rdannar's "diet" stock ROM) with the new marketplace.
Even on updates some apps will go through the whole process, and even act like they're downloading, then will still show up as needing an update.
This didn't help you, but you're not alone?
Rebooting (sometimes) helps.
Do you have the new market yet? I notices when my phone switched to the new one it took a few hours for it to get back to normal. Also, it mat not show its correct status in the market app and if you leave and go back it may say it is finnished.

This is crazy, I don't know why it's doing this, I can't even do gapps because the market won't install the apps.
Market
version 2.3.6
and their is no unistall updates button either. Mannn this is so frustrating.
Wait... are you installing Gapps after installing a ROM? Which ROM? Are you using 3g or wifi?

I have this same problem. I can't successfully install any app via the android Market. I tried clearing Market cache and data with no improvement. If I choose install an app, it looks like it downloads in the status bar, but doesn't actually list it as "Successfully Installed" as it normally would.
If I look in the Market's My Downloads it lists the app but says "Free" next to it instead of "Installed" or "Update". If I then try to install it I get "Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Force Close.
I also rolled back the updates on my Android Market with no improvement in functionality.
I think the issue started when I went to Android 2.2.
I'm not clear on how to solve this problem.
Same problem! !!!!!!! Any solution??
unmount SD Card
A temporary fix would be unmounting the sd card and then installing the app. It happens on some roms..hope it fixes...works in my case.
I dont want to install the update just yet. It's in my notification bar right now to be installed. But it wont let me swipe it away or dismiss it. How do I get it to go away?!? Thanks in advance....

Not sure if this will work, but try rebooting it. Why don't you want to install the update?
Let the battery drain until 15% then try to accept the update. it won't continue on low battery I think.. Or if youre rooted, backup one system for like email or something.. Back it up somewhere.. Then proceed, update will fail because you need all stock apps there.. Then put back the file after you reboot.. Update will be gone

You can't OP I've had this annoying thing for a week, got used to it, you're not taking LTE away from me Google, screw u
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
subxero123, I'm pretty sure the only reason you can't use LTE in 4.2.2 is the radio/modem. Install the update, then revert to an old radio.
I was going to to wait for LTE also, thats why I didnt want it. Also I'm rooted so it sounded like a hassle. been really lazy lately lol. Question though: If I get the OTA root keeper app, is all I have to do is go into the app and update through it? Will it wipe anything, and do I have to set up all my mods again. For example my launcher, custom icons, gestures, lightflow, etc.??? If its easy with that app I'll do it....
Did you make any sort of modifications?
If you didn't delete system apps or flash a custom kernel just flash the update.zip from here: http://android.clients.google.com/p...4.signed-occam-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.de8b8d10.zip. Thanks wrinklefree. More info at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
After that you can flash the 4.2.1 radio firmware and you're set
Today I had to restart my phone because it dropped data connection, the moment I restarted it said my phone was being updated and I should wait, it wasted my time and it shoved 10o update down my throat.
If I had recovery installed, this could have been disastrous, no?
Not only for recovery related problems, but this may also prevent people from being able to install certain things, or even one day in the future with a different update just block root?
How do we uninstall then disable OTA updates on an unrooted phone? When I disabled and cancelled notifications for Software Update app, I thought it was fixed, but it probably made it worse, it just installed without any notification or prompt.
I was planning to root and install twrp this weekend, now with all the horror stories I've been reading, I don't want to do it. :crying:
How is AT&T even allowed to push it without explicit permit to install on device.

I did that when I first got the notification. Notification disappeared. 2 days later I restarted my phone for the first time in over a week, and bam, it installed without any notification at all. So disabling notification won't stop it from installing, it seems..
I know this doesn't directly help your situation since you're not rooted but this should help someone who is.
I had to freeze "Software Update 2.3.0.5" using titanium backup for it to stop. Not sure of a way to do it without root or without the pro version of titanium.

If you have the ota, you could use root explorer or browser to go into the Cache folder and delete it(ota) then try to install it will fail or do nothing then hit cancel
How can I downgrade?
I don't mind paying for titanium to freeze the app. This is nonsense, enjoyment just update by itself, lucky I didn't install recovery.

What version of the G2 do you have? I'm on Sprint and I don't have "Software Update", I have "Update Device 4.5.1.10" which I just froze.
Does anyone know if I install the update can I still flash TWRP to my device? I'm not sure if I should install TWRP now and use the flashable ota zip or install it after I update it.

I'm asking the same question OP is asking, is there a way to disable the update on non-rooted phones? And from experience with several other Android phones... I know it's pretty much impossible to downgrade unless you start flashing, but I'm gonna ask anyways. Is there a way to downgrade the upgrade that was forced down OP's throat and my own throat? For me it actually updated in my sleep, I woke up and it said my phone was updated. OP and I are on AT&T's D800 variant.

On Verizon it is called MobileUpdateClient.apk. I changed the file extension to .old and then moved it to a new folder called old so I would know what I had changed.

Well, it would still help to avoid further OTA's from being applied if we are rooted and do not use custom rom, there is always a risk of getting OTA and messing everything up, therefore if freezing above app worked for you, it should be all we need. Is Software Update the actual app which checks for version and receives pushes from AT&T when a new OTA is available, or if there are other apps/modules that does this. The problem is, if it is incorporated into android system like some of the other stuff AT&T incorporated, it would be impossible to completely eliminate it without running a custom rom.

Awesome the above instructions worked great! Thank you very much brother
disable ota on at&t
Did you totally remove the apk, or rename it? Also, if removed, will it cause other problems?
I only ask cause i had a g2 that was pushed an ota and bricked my g2. Had to get a new one, now trying ti disable the ota's from doing that again..
Then when kitkat is released, am i not able to update it, then root again?

you have to flash the old version by using LG Flash Tool, like I did.
So, I have a question for you guys. I got my phone yesterday and I'm on 10o. I installed the CWM recovery for 10o via Flashify, and now I'm concerned about OTAs - I disabled it via the Hidden Menu, but if there's an OTA to update the phone to 4.3 or 4.4, I'd like to receive it and not worry about bricking my phone.
I don't plan on doing a lot of custom ROM flashing, I really just wanted to root and install Xposed. Do I need to flash a stock ROM and go back to stock recovery, so I don't have to worry about OTAs? Or should I be good with CWM and the stock ROM that I rooted?
