Software Update - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so pretty simple question I know that if you have titanium backup pro that you can just freeze the software update app but I don't have it so I was wondering either a)is their any other way to freeze it or b)if I delete the app(I will obviously back it up) will the update stop showing up/Will anything stop working?
Thanks in advance

Just rename FOTA.apk/LGFOTA.apk to .bak - no need to back up or delete.

Prevent Verizon OTA

What .apk do I need to freeze?
I've looked around but can't find a straight answer. I can't find the sdm.apk suggested in other threads. I found a SDMPlugin.apk. Is that it?
I'm currently running VS98011A with TWRP 2.6.3.3.
Thanks
Edit: I think its Software update MUC 6.4.1.2_B02-LG
Old post, but since I'd like to know this as well, to prevent any Verizon OTA updates, I'm giving it a bump. I'm on rooted 12B, no TWRP installed.
Need to know on att g2 too

Unfortunately the OTA has already been downloaded and I have to keep defer the installation. Is there a way to stop the notification and the installing of the OTA. I'm using the Verizon LG G2
Thanks!
The update notification is getting to be annoying. Anybody find a fix? Or would it be possible to revert back to stock and then update??

So if I were to update from 11A to 12B on my currently un-rooted G2, just to shut it up, does 12B make it harder to root?

I have the same problem, but I cannot find Software udpate MUC 6.4.1.2_B02-LG on my VS980 G2, nor can I find any obvious OTA updater software. I cannot long click on the update notification, and if I try to take the OTA update it errs out as mentioned by others previously (I have only rooted and done the wifi hotspot mod).
Can you tell me where to find that update file, or what exactly to freeze on a VZW G2?

If you have Titanium Backup, scroll through the apps under "Backup/Restore" until you find "Software update MUC 6.4.1.2_B02-LG". Long press and the "Special Features" menu appears. Swipe right to get to the "Backup Properties". Select "Freeze!" That should do it.

Thanks for that, I appreciate the very specific instructions. Out of frustration, I flashed the XDABBEB's VS98024A custom ROM and it is working nicely. So I guess that will solve my need to freeze the OTA update.

I've had my eye on that ROM and have been following the thread but I've been hesitant to install a ROM on my new G2. ROMs always have something that doesn't work right and right now everything is working fine on the G2 (well, except I can't get KitKat but I don't think I want it anyway). But this ROM seems to be one of the more stable out there. Post an update into the XDABBEB thread after a few weeks letting us know what you think of it.

try to root using dr.ketan multitool
Hmm, still not solved, and actually getting worse, now I loose root quite often on reboot, not every time however..
Supersu is kept, but reports binary missing.
Rerooting with cwm/philz, but this also only occasionally works, sometimes having to reroot 4 times to get it to work.
When succesfully rooted, supersu installed as system app, but does not help..
Cannot get drketans multitool working - hangs after pressing next (sometimes before that).
Edit: got multitool basic to work, advance version crashes, but the basic version works. Rooting with this did not work however, still missing binary on reboot.
Any suggestions to what could be the culpritt here?

Okay so, different rom, same bootloader.
Do you use any of the following: avast antivirus, wanam xposed module, afwall+ ?
Have you frozen or deleted knox?
Using philz recovery?
Mine did not really do this until after having installed mj5 bootloader, but with the old 4.1.2 bootloader I experienced a lot of sudden reboots and force closes.
Dont know if it could be the bootloader causing the root problem. Or knox still doing something at boot?

[Q] 4.3, Rooted, unable to connect to Kies3. I need to back up/restore

I'm trying to back up my device with Kies before I factory reset it so I can take it back in for warranty replacement but I'm not able to connect to it. It shows it connected but then times out with an error saying "unable to connect".
I'm curious if this has anything to do with being rooted or having the OTA update files frozen with TiBu.
Any other ideas on to how to back up my device?
Can't you just copy over nandroid files or something?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Correct me if I'm wrong but I would have to be rooted on the new device for nandroid to restore the back up, right?
My main concern is my connection to Kies. It connects and then disconnects because the phone "isn't respinding". Is it because I'm rooted and have the OTA files frozen? Is my 4.3 release not official enough for it to be compatible with the newer version of Kies? Curious if anyone else is having this problem..

Kies never worked well for me. And unfortunately, there is no good way to backup an android device as easily as an Apple device. I'm assuming you'd like to have an easy way to restore your new device once you receive it. That isn't going to happen
Samsung/at&t have also made it more difficult. You'll probably get a new device with nb1 firmware which currently isn't rootable. So restoring from titanium is going to be difficult.
Here's what I would do:
1 copy and paste all your pictures, music, etc from your device to your pc
2 use helium backup to backup your apps and data, see play store
3 make sure you have Google backup your apps and data too, settings, backup & restore
When you get your new device, Google will most likely restore your apps and data. For your pics, etc you'll want to copy those back to your device. If Google doesn't work you have helium as a backup.

Don't forget you can also use adb backup to backup your device.

Thanks for the replies.
I had a general idea of what needed to be done. What I'm really worried about reloading is my sms/mms messages.
I'll look into all these options and report back with what I did.

Advice for a trouble free phone

Thank you to everyone who helped with the new root and BL unlock ability on the 4.4 RAZR m.
I'm currently have the current ota 4.4 unrooted with a locked bk. The phone runs great mist of the time, but the screen goes blank and reboots at least once a day. Would it be a good idea to reflash to jb, and do a complete wipe of the phone? Are my old apps from jb maybe messing things up? Google maps froze up a couple times which had never happened before, so I'd like to fix that as well.
Thanks

You could root, back up necessary apps and their datas with titanium backup, do a factory reset, reroot after that, and restore your apps. Might get rid of the glitch.

His utility does not work for KitKat. It was made for an earlier version. But motopocalypse in Matts utility works if your phone is rooted on stock KitKat. Which is possible now.

If you have twrp installed I would try to flash a new rom or a stock Rom for your phone. That should fix the problem. You can always backup your apps and data with titanium backup. And make sure you back up your contacts. Also just make a backup in twrp of it current rom. Just to be sure
