Dumb question
How do I get rid of the annoying update notification in the status bar? Can't update due to root and TWRP.
Tries disabling it in update centre but didn't work.

This is the first smart phone I have ever had the enjoyment of using. I intend to root the phone so that I can get rid of the junk I don't want and enable the features that should be included on my phone.
My question, what do I have to do to not be forced into an OTA update? When I go to the Update menu setting I see no option to ignore updates. Also, is there a setting to not get notified of the updates? Like I had a required OTA voicemail update that I am unsure of how to ignore. Thanks
As far as i know the voicemail update should be fine. From wgat ive read its just to have voicemail to text. Jyst dont check for updates. If they come up automatically it usually asjs if you wan it

You cannot ignore the voicemail update. It adds text-to-speech and is mandatory for all Sprint handsets with VVM. There is a way to shut off the updates under settings/about phone I believe, I haven't gotten mine turned on yet, just got it minutes ago, I'll edit with more specifics if you need.

You will be prompted to do an OTA and if you are a custom rom you will not even get the prompt. However, if you end up wanting the OTA you will have to revert to complete stock. Any removed stock apps can potentially screw up the update process. Generally though its just fine to wait until the devs cook up something with the update and then just use their releases. If it is a necessary update someone will release it in the form of a flashable zip and you won't need to worry about updating OTA =)
Turning off OTA's
way back when before I rooted my hero I had to go through the hassle of reverting to a previous android version in order to root because i naively accepted the OTA update. Trying to avoid this on my shift.
I went into "settings" -> "system updates" -> "HTC software updates" and unchecked the box for "Scheduled Check".
Is this enough to turn off my OTA updates or would the update come from Sprint and have nothing to do with HTC updates?
Recently I was able to make straight talk work through my Sprint GS4. I had to flash to mdc to make it work.
Here are my questions:
If I want to update my phone through official FW updates, will that reset anything I have done to my phone? There is mk2 update in my status bar that has been there forever. Can I install it, or if not, is there a way to remove the icon from the status bar?
Also, being a Sprint phone, another icon is in the status bar that always tries to "activate my device", is there any way to have this removed from the status bar?
Thanks!
I was able to use the "ignore" option a month or so back but now the only option for the update is to "install later" and give a time. I do not want the update since I am rooted and this update will no doubt remove my root and install bloatware.
How can I permanently remove/block this notification and get on with my life until 5.0 is released?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I haven't tried this yet but this should get rid of it, at least until the phone reboots:
1. Long press on the "Software update available" notice in the notification bar.
2. Select App info
3. Force stop SDM
If I can't find a confirmed way to root my Verizon Note 3 after updating to 4.4.4, I'm going to do this as well.

Thanks. I'll see how long this lasts. Hate to give up root for nothing in return but bloatware....
Sadly, SDM almost immediately restarted and continued to annoy. Since I'm pretty sure there's no way to root the Verizon Note 3 yet, I just froze the SDM app using Titanium.
935FD, Rooted, TWRPed on old firmware. I keep getting OTA Software (Firmware) Update available popping up all the time. I'm traveling at the moment and can NOT update and risk bricking my phone. (Since I'm rooted, I can't do OTA update, have to either use ODIN or FlashFire). Is there a way to stop the message popping up? It is really annoying! (I already disabled "Download updates automatically" in the "About Device" in "Settings".
Many thanks!
Do you have Scheduled Software updates on?
Apart form that, no idea how to disable.
What you could do, is use android to suppress it.
Wait for the notification to appear, Pull the drawer down and Keep hold of the notification.
hit the Hide / Mute icon and it should no longer appear.
As reassurance you cannot apply the update if you are rooted. It checks for official or modified, and will fail on its first check.
So dont worry, any accidental presses will not make the update happen
have you tried "triangle away" in the app store?
Shall I ignore it or install it? Will the phone lose root with the small patch?
Wrong forum !
If you talk about update like fingerprint update... the answer is no, you can update.
BTW : root break the OTA update, so you wont receive update from samsung anymore
Confirmed. You are right.

Yes, it does break the OTA update but only if the Phone Status appears as Unofficial/Custom under Settings > About Device > Status. Rooting sets your Knox counter to 1 and changes the Phone Status to Unofficial/Custom. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you flash the custom firmware of the device using Odin, you can get the Phone Status to Official again but the Knox will not get reset. That way, you can get the OTA update but still not access the secured apps like Samsung Pay or so on.
