[Q] kangabean 4.3 gettin ota update notification - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I keep getting notifications about an ota update for 4.3. It's about 16 MB. When I get sick of seeing it and hit install the phone reboots into recovery where I then get a warning about an unverified package. I then get chicken and don't wow it to install and reboot (it asks to fix root then to for some reason)
Is this safe to install? If not, can I make it stop telling me there is a system update available?

[Q] Update Notification

I'm on 4.1.1 and it keeps asking me to update to 4.1.2, the notification keeps appearing me asking to Install Now or Later.
How do I stop this, as I plan on staying with 4.1.1 for a while

That requires root does it not?

[Q] How to stop 4.2.2 OTA from installing?

I'm using CleanRom 3.3, last night like others I received the OTA message, I was busy and didn't realise it had automatically downloaded.
I don't want to install it and will wait for custom versions of 4.2.2
My question is how do I stop the OTA from installing, I don't want to reboot my Nexus 7 and have it install itself.
Hopefully I'm not giving you misinformation, but I think there is an OTA update thingy under system/ app that can be disabled.

[Q] GPE Virgin ROM is getting official OTA updates?

So I had the S4 from Rogers which I believe is the i337m. I flashed the Virgin Rom which is a 4.3 Google Play Edition Rom (my phone also says that it is a i9505G in the settings now) and a few times now, I get a message in the notification shade that a system update has been downloaded and needs to be installed. It says that it is the 4.3 edition update (even though I'm already on a 4.3 ROM) but when I click to install it, it just boots into TWRP and does nothing. I'm wondering, if I remove TWRP and return to stock recovery, will my phone install the update that it keeps prompting me to install, and somehow make my phone react like a regular GPE phone with OTA updates?

No, even if you return to stock recovery. You still won't be able to apply the new update. It will fail.

I'm not sure about TWRP, but if they don't have the correct buildprops that are expected by the OTA zip, you wont be able to install it.
I had the official clockwork recovery installed on my i9505G. When it tried to install the official OTA, it downloaded and booted into CWM and tried to install, but since this recovery is built for i9505, the buildprops are wrong, so the OTA fails to install. I extracted CWM and changed the device build properties to match what are on the stock i9505G. Then I booted into that CWM and used "adb sideload ..." to install the update which is still saved in your /cache partition. Since the update will break superuser/su, i then used "adb sideload ..." again to install the zip for superuser again.

[Q] 5.0.1 update error on unrooted stock Nexus 4

My nexus 4 just comes up with an android error screen during installation of the 5.0.1 update . It appears the phone then rolls back the update, reboots and then after a while the OTA notification comes up again and if I try to install it I get the same results? I would happily leave my phone on 5.0.0 but as far as I can see I would need to root to turn of the system updates and the notifications that go with them. I think this is the same complaint here on the google forum but no solutions it seems? https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/svgo7hsNMMQ[101-125-false]
Anyone any ideas? I tried clearing cache from recovery but I can't get into the menu that lets you clear the cache for some reason?

I manually applied the stagefright update, now OTA update nags.

I've got a stock, rooted ROM. I wasn't getting the stagefright update so I downloaded it manually and applied it. A few weeks later I finally got a OTA update notification. I can't make the notification disappear permanently. I tried to apply that update, but it reboots into recover (I've got TWRP installed) and the install fails.
How do I get the notification to go away permanently?
Thanks
