Hey guys. I know that there is an available atrix update, but I don't want to update. Att keeps sending me annoying messages to update. How do I get this to stop?

It's easy to block the update if you don't want to lose root and also want to get rid of the annoying messages.
Just rename the otacerts.zip and cacerts.bks certs in system/etc/security.
The update will download (you must let it download), but fail the auth check and not install.
This also turns off the reminder notifications.
Easily reversible if you want to get updates later.

I have the same problem. It tells me I don't have permission to rename the files when I try. And I can't find them using my PC.

NVM. AS I POST THIS, Root explorer has decided to kick ass and rename it when I click the "Mount R/w" button at the top.
glad i saw this, i was going to ask the same question. thanks
Thank you for the tip. It works.
Another way of doing it is to freze updater 2.2.1 and upgrade app 2.2.1 with tit backup. Or so i've read
I tried that my self and it seems to work. I aint sure if the freze stick or not if booting though...
weird, i downloaded it but never installed it. i changed those two files posted above and it still just gave me the install screen of if i want to install now or later

Try my method if you're rooted. Works! I haven't got any prompts about doing anything after freezing the apps.

It worked for me. The warning disapeared.
Download antek app manager its free. Then freeze com.Motorola. blur.updater. or look for updater and freeze that.

I want to update but I didnt get any notice. I was also beta tester but didnt get any update either. I flash sbf and ran system updater but nothing still.
Hi all,
I am stock, rooted, and have TWRP. I have done the following:
mak213 said:
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.
Whenever LG releases new update on LG G2, the phone starts downloading the update without user's consent. At times there are users who do not wish to update and do not want to have 100s of MBs downloaded.
LG G Flex has an option to disable automatic update, but LG G2 doesn't have it.
I'm working on disabling it and would appreciate any input or suggestion.

If you have rooted your phone, you can install titanium backup and search for "lgota" in the app list, then freeze the app shown.

...or you can do this.
If rooted, use a file manager like Root Explorer, go to System/Etc/Security, (mount R/W) and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Reboot phone and you'll be fine.

ls995 is not G2 right?
but i think installing some app like titanium and freezing an app called "lgupdate" or "lgupdate service" (or even "lgfota" ) will help with this on any LG (can't remember the exact name since i've removed it a long time ago)

Block
Open LG Hidden Menu (3845#*851#) --> WLAN Test --> OTA Setting --> Disable
*Replace "851" with your devices model number, 850, 852, 855 etc.
OR you can use a RootExplorer-type app to find the OTA related APK and rename the file to ____.apk.bak or use Titanium Backup to freeze.
Verizon users: Click HERE to read about getting the HiddenMenu working. LG Hidden Menu --> Wi-Fi setting -LG --> OTA Setting --> Disable
Due to not actually having this menu by default.. the safest way to disable OTA may be to delete or rename the APK files related to OTA.
Sprint users: 5689#*990# but the HiddenMenu is most likely limited. Use the adb commands below instead.
If HiddenMenu view has been limited you can use the command below to bring up the OTA disable menu.
Code:
Code:
adb shell
su
am start com.lge.hiddenmenu/.wlan_service.wifi_ota_buttons
Remove OTA Update(and notification)
If an OTA notification is on your device you most likely already have the OTA file on your phone. If rooted, you can remove the OTA files and get rid of that annoying notification.
Updates are found in the /cache/ folder on your phone. Using a RootExplorer-type app(or ES File Explorer) browse to the root of your phone(NOT the root of your internal storage, /sdcard/, but the actual phone). If using ES File Explorer you may have to use the "show hidden files" option and grant the app root. You will see the update .zip file in cache if you did everything correctly. If no one has already uploaded the OTA zip.. copy the update to your sdcard and then upload for everyone else. Now delete the zip file from /cache/.
Deleting the file in /cache/ will get rid of the OTA but will not get rid of the notification. To get rid of notification:
1. Pull the notification shade down on your phone
2. Long press on the OTA notification until you see the App Info option pop up.
3. Click App Info and uncheck the Show Notifications box.

Greetings I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Verizon flavor and I used the most popular Towelroot which was simple, amazing, and just works however an OTA 4.4.4 has reared its ugly head and I know it would probably fail but I was wondering how to delete the update and what is the directory? I used DisableService and unchecked the google services for the OTA update so it does not continue to bug me however I know the update is still there and I would like to maybe rename it to .bak or delete it from the system folder so just in case Verizon tries to install it on its own accord. So question is where is the directory and what file should I delete or rename
Thank You in advanced

I'm new to the Note and I would like to disable the update until I can get it to work with Towelroot also.
So an update I just frooze the SDM.apk and that seemed to for now stop the annoying update request I think this is temporarily fixed still would like the proper way to stop it from trying to update
Also for the individual who replied to my post towelroot works with certain builds so go to the Web site and check your build on the Note

This is not temporary and it IS the correct way to prevent further updates on our devices. Disabling or completely removing sdm.apk is the way to go. Should not have to worry about that update now.
Thank you for the info and clarification should I deleted that 500 mb update and where can I find it and what is the file name? I read somewhere to rename it .bak but I can't seem to find it

Hi guys,..
Does anyone have a current list of the necessary system apps for zenfone 2 Ze551ml? I just want to make sure I haven't removed anything that will hinder an upcoming ota update.
I have searched but there are a few different lists and I don't know which one is the right one.
Thankyou in advance
Opening uninstill I'm currently showing 165 system apps -3 which I moved there
So does 162 standard system apps sound right?

Thankyou so much! Is there an easy way to extract just that folder back into the phone... Like replace existing, just so I know that if any system apps were missing that they had been put back in. Just seems easier than cross referencing one by one. Sorry if it's a newbie question, I only just rooted for the first time this year
Just flash the full firmware rather than the ota, then you don't have to worry about it.

Unfortunately I'm only new to the whole root thing... I haven't worked out the whole flash thing yet, I don't think I'll be able to either. I have been googling but I read contradicting instructions and information
ok that was fun... i moved back apps i put into system... unrooted using supersu... downloaded ota and bammmm... error logo.
somehow restarted the phone with failed update . not sure where i went wrong but now the ota has disappeared all together so i can't even try again.
anyone know where i went wrong ?
