Hello
I have received my 4.2.2 update notification, and without prompting me it has downloaded ota to my phone. I don't want to install the update yet frankly til I'm happy with all the kernel swapping etc I'll have to do.
So I want the notification and update file removed form my phone if possible. Does anyone know how to remove it?! Seen a lot of talk of cache/ etc. but not sure if they mean a folder location for the download or not. I have wiped my cache in recovery, but don't want to click on the update incase it does still find the file.
Anyone know what I can do?

I can't seem to find the file, that's whats annoying me at the minute ha ha.
Looking to block OTA's while i'm still stock/rooted. I see a Software Update 2.3.0.5 (/system/app/LGDMSClient is the path) in TiBu. Would this be it? If it matters, I have the AT&T D800.
EDIT: After googling more, this is indeed the way to block them. Rename the .apk to .bak (in case you want to use them later.. otherwise, just delete them) and do the same for the .odex. Reboot.
:good:

On my sprint phone, there is no LGDMSClient directory in the apps folder. Does anyone with a sprint phone know how to block the ota notification?

People were posting about getting them, but I didn't bother looking into it cuz I hadn't. When I did, I looked lol.
For Sprint users, I found this in another thread. Note that this doesn't block OTAs, but it will hide them from appearing in the notification bar. All credit to oldpreowner.
Pull down the notification bar and tap and hold on the notification. App info will pop up and tap it and scroll all the way to the bottom and uncheck show notification.
Hi all! Thanks for any and all help!
Quick info: Stock ROM 4.4.2 via OTA (LS980ZVC), Rooted, Nova Launcher and Xposed Framework. I've tried flashing other ROMs and it just didn't work so I went back to stock.
I'm not too impressed with the speaker and headphone volume on my phone. I didn't buy the phone for the sound, though, so that's a good thing. However, an improvement would be nice!
I've tried both the sound mods below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482750 - Root Explorer would not allow me to copy the file from my SD card to the proper location saying "copy failed!" each and every time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542398 - I flashed this and it soft bricked my phone. I got bootlooped because of it. Is there any particular reason, other than I just don't know how to flash right? (all kidding aside!)
Is there an easy way to get one of these two to work, or am I just stuck with the sound I have?
Again, thanks for any and all help, folks!
(I posted this in the Sprint G2 help thinking it was the general G2 help.. whoops... sorry for cross posting)
If it rooted, RE should work.
Make sure you check and change permission if needed.

RE works and I can navigate to the correct folder, as well as copy/paste the old file from /system/etc/snd_soc_msm to my SD card. Moving the file from the SD card, or copy and pasting, results in "Operation failed!" and no change. Permissions are good as far as I can see?
Try Root Browser instead.

I've checked everything on the system folder for permissions. No dice.

Same as above, no dice.
Just as a heads up, I downloaded Viper4Android FX and XHiFi, and that worked the treat to get the sound muuuuuuch more clear and tolerable from Pandora. Night and day difference, no doubt... although Pandora's bitrate isn't high, it's 100x more tolerable now.
I'm with T-Mobile if that helps or changes anything, running 4.2.2. Now, I've gotten my phone to stop bugging me to install the OTA update. But the problem is the OTA update is still downloading in the background, it's just that I'm not being bugged by my phone to update it (i.e. there's no icon showing up in the notification bar). It becomes a sort of "silent update." So why is this a problem for me?
Because I'm on T-Mobile's cheapest plan which is the 500mb data plan. Each time the OTA downloads it eats up 155mb. And twice already this billing cycle it's done it, so that's 310mb of data wasted.
There are posts saying to use Titanium Backup Pro and freezing an app called Software Update MUC, and another post referring to the file as Software Update 2.3.0.5, but on my phone (using TB Pro) there's no file starting with "Software" anything.
So how do I stop my phone from downloading the OTA all together? Please help. Thanks.
Just install the update, that will make it stop for good

Sorry, forgot to mention doing that won't work. For some reason my phone doesn't properly install OTA updates. I don't mind being stuck on 4.2.2. I just want the OTA downloads to stop in the first place.
Give this a try...
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.

I've done that already. I renamed the file to otacerts.zip.back (instead of .bak). I assume that doesn't make any difference. I believe renaming the file is what is causing my phone to not show the OTA icon in the notification bar. But as I said, the issue for me is that my phone is still downloading the update itself.
Any other ideas?

I don't have that file in my system/app folder. What's wrong with my phone?????
On my phone, the file listed that comes before where lgfota.apk/odex should appear is LGEIME_THEME_BLACK.odex, and the file after that file is LGGallery.apk.

you can check in the system/priv-app; that's very odd for it not to be in system/app are you on stock rom/have you removed any bloat

I don't have a system/priv-app folder, either. I'm on stock rom, but I removed as much bloat as I can, including certain apps I find no use for (e.g. double-tap, voice command, etc). Maybe this will help: I used Root Explorer's search feature and searched for "fota", and here's what I think are the most "relevant" results:
/lgdms.fota.rc
/lgdms.fota_update.rc
/etc/fota
/etc/permissions/com.lge.fota.xml
/system/framework/com.lge.fota.jar
/system/framework/com.lge.fota.odex
Does this help? Anyone?

Did you got any solution ?
I also got the same issue. Sprint here. I have renamed all files like otacerts.zip & lgfota.apk/odex, still it downloads the damn update.
Hey,
Immediately after I've downgraded from Lollipop to Kitkat, the phone started downloading the Lollipop update (before I was able to disable the auto-update option).
I want to delete that file, but I can't find it. According to many how-tos I've found it's supposed to be in the /cache folder, but it isn't. I've tried searching for "fota" and "n9005" (because most firmware names have that string in it), but didn't find it.
My phone is rooted.
I've also looked at the Software Updater app in Settings/applications/all to try to clear the cache, but it says it only has 12kb cache.
Does anyone have an idea where I could find the file?
Look for it in /data/fota

Perfect, there it was! Thank you so much.
Any idea how to get rid of the update message? It keeps asking to install the update although I've removed the file.
I've read to accept the installation. Then it will reboot, and nothing will happen. But I don't dare doing that. Are there other ways? Or is this method safe?
Thanks!
Freeze the system updater package using Titanium backup.

Any other options which don't require the need to install extra apps?
Simply rename the package (something like SamsungUpdates.apk.BAK) then reboot.

And isn't that Samsung updater necessary for other things?
No, and in case you face problems, rename it back to .apk
Or, you can go to Settings/Application Manager and disable the Notifications of Google Play Services.

And how about the option to click on "install". Will that work to get rid of the notifications, since there is no file anymore to install?

Sorry, i can't recommend something i didn't tried myself. But i think you don't risk anything by trying.

I'll have a look into it a bit further, and I'll let you know if I do it and what its result is.
I've finally gotten the guts to press the "install" button, and it immediately said that OTA updates aren't supported on modified devices. Gone notification, even after reboot. Yay
