[Q] How to disable downloaded update? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
Is there any way to disable update notification message on Verizon GS5? Update is already downloaded.
I'm rooted and with some apps frozen. If I run update it fails.
So, actually more than one question...
I assume I can unfreeze everything and attempt to update. Is it going to break root? Is this going to be rootable after that update?
It is probably answered multiple times, but I cannot find definite, direct answer. So help will be appreciated!

You neglected to tell us how or what you searched for. It's almost impossible to miss all of the existing threads on the subject, don't know how you missed them but we don't know how, what or if you tried searching.

dude everytime i come into a thread to help someone you're here telling people to search, just answer or ignore it, I admire your determination but it's annoying to see, 5,776,168 members ? Just change your sig to say use search first, there are plenty of them if you search for them

Chances are you won't be able to run it anyway, as you're rooted, just either remove it in titanium, or freeze it, or rename the update apk by putting a .bak on the end of the file name and the odex file too.

They would indeed be able to run it but since the update fails because VZW is able to determine if your rooted the update will fail every single time. I wouldn't worry too much about the update as VZW is finding ways to patch the exploits ie towelroot and the S3 with the upcoming patch will be unable to be rooted.
Sadly there are a lot of members who remind members to constantly search, a good majority of them don't even bother so that might be why he refers to it every single time

Everytime I reply to a thread, you follow with an opinion that is clearly in factual error. Your dedication to increasing your post count is impressive even though it contributes nothing constructive. You were accurate when you characterized yourself as annoying but that is a blight easily solved with a kill filter.
Of course he can run it, as the poster after you correctly observed. Root is sufficient to block the two main processes, the update app and the notification app. One just needs to note Verizon's habit of appending vzw to otherwise standard nomenclature.
Verizon can independently search for evidence of root leading to further notifications. And there is no assured way to block that eventuality.

So when i rooted my phone, my phone failed to even check for updates! All i'm saying about you is the fact that you tell every single person to search, although I get it, you are wasting your time, lastly you really can't call anybody annoying m8, I didn't characterize myself as annoying, what you do every single day is ridicule people for not using the search button you aren't even addressing me and i'm even tired of it.
This is Q+A, it's made for people to ask questions.
And about my post count, I think your math is off, I've been on XDA since 2010 (2007 actually different account) i'm on 3,658 posts, You've been on here for 1 year you have a third of my posts, so theoretically speaking and at the rate you sprout your posts, you will have surpassed my post count in less time than I did, for someone who attempts to sound smart you've had quite an oversight there.

Thanks, I wasn't able to update, I was speaking from my own experiences, and as I said to ffffffft there are over 5 million members on XDA, is he planning on warning everyone? There is a thread in every single section on XDA, telling people to search. I've been there and attempted to tell people to search, doesn't help, there will always be threads of the same question, telling noobs isn't going to change that.

Honestly VZW can search for root on my phone all they want but the truth of the matter is its my phone and I'll do whatever I want with it. I learned long ago to never take an ota from them. Rooting isn't against the law so screw them

Hopefully not, rooting and having a tinker is what makes android great, I dread to think how I would feel if I was forced into the world of Apple, think I might end up with windows mobile yea I don't want to think like that, long live rooting I say.
I've heard bad things about Verizon doing things to their phones, do you not have a third party retailer in the states? I know that in the UK most people, especially people who want to modify their handsets, will buy from Carphone warehouse or even phones 4 u. You basically end up with the international unlocked version of the handset, as it was intended. I made the mistake of getting my Z1 from EE, turned out that the bootloader couldn't be unlocked no matter what I did, so I bricked it and sent it off for repair through Carphone, got a fully unlocked brand new handset back in five days.

True And I have no idea And you're welcome, I wasn't 100% on the Verizon thing, I only knew what I'd tried myself, I was rooted and updates didn't work for me, maybe a mistake to assume it'd be the same for you, perhaps if it's going to be a huge difference there should be different sections ?
I dunno?

I bet 90% (or more) of all "Help me!" type posts can be resolved with those few threads. Maybe another 5% need to be directed to another thread or two, and only the last 5% or so actually require more information than what has already been posted. If people would follow the XDA rules, search, and read what is easily available, most of them wouldn't have problems in the first place...much less need to make posts about them time after time. This forum has evolved nicely and people have taken their time to put together guides, solve problems, and create helpful posts. It is a slap in the face of those people when others don't take the time to read the information they made available. I see it all of the time, people saying, "but this is Q&A, I should be allowed to ask questions yadayadayada...). For some reason, to them, Q&A means I don't need to search, read, or learn, I can just ask a question that has been asked 20 times already (usually still on the first page) and people must flock to me with easy answers on silver platters! Of course, that is assuming they even put the question in the Q&A forum to start with. For some reason, they think they are above the rules or they are so special the rules don't apply to them. Q&A (according to XDA) exists to help AFTER someone has already searched and read on their own...not as a substitute for doing so. And saying, "but I searched", when it is obvious that no searching or very little searching was done only makes them a liar as well.
At most, people should only need to be directed to this information (existing threads). If they choose to ignore this help or if they think they are too important to take the time needed to read and learn...too bad. Fortunately, most accept the help and take advantage of the information, others, well I guess they just need to sit around, all butt-hurt, with their bricks. :laugh:
And to those that get butt-hurt...No, I'm not a Mod and I'm not affiliated with XDA, I just follow the rules that I agreed to when I signed up...just like everyone else is supposed to. DO you?
...and this isn't necessarily directed at the OP, I just happened to say it in this thread.
This is not unique to XDA. People on all forums ask before trying to find the answer. It doesn't matter how much good info is posted, most users want to be spoon fed instead of trying to learn on their own.
Even with power of Google, we see people post " how do I ....." On forums first, when the same query on google will give instant answers.
I can't explain it, but we are all witness to it.

A lot of members like Axman have invested many hours in writing great "noob" threads. Very well done and easy to understand. What I never get is why folks invest a lot of money in this phone, and others, and don't want to spend time educating themselves on how to root it and flash roms.

I started those guides thinking that everyone would be talking about flashing roms, whats cool, whats not, and so on, made them so anyone new could even understand, I must have forgotten that people just want to get a phone and start rooting and such, without reading because his buddy said it was cool to root and flash roms, even told him, here go to this site and get roms, and flash them. Then the process starts, a continuous posts of I can't , and it won't questions.
What gets me, you know they are not searching, because the post right above theirs has their problem right in the thread title. Saw one of those yesterday somewhere.
Ka dumb a$s, duh!

This! Also I got very intimidated by all the people screaming at me. I did a bunch of research before I asked the question and was still confused hence the question I'm not an xda idiot but the s4 was already very big in modding when I joined whereas the infuse and vivid had just started to get cwm and root when I got them so I grew with the romers I apologize for looking so nooby since reading the first post I now have a auto Loki cwm and root access and am running the Google edition ROM thank you all for the suggestions and links

Don't feel bad sometimes we need to vent--nothing personal
I came here in early May from the One S and close to 3.5 years of flashing HTC devices with the advantage of unlocked bootloaders thru fastboot. But, still felt like a noob here--still do--
Odin/Kies/Loki were all new. Esp loki. I have spent hundreds of hours reading probably a couple thousand posts. Still learning. It does take a lot of effort to figure this out for some of us--like me.
But, a good investment as one needs to not only know how but why--to not lose a pricey phone--

[Q] First Timer Requesting Assistance

Thank you for this website and all the helpful information it provides. I was a long time apple user and was fed up with the ios so jumped on the bandwagon of android.
I rooted my phone it it a Telus i337M with the OTA update on it.
My question is what would the best stock to put on? I know it is a vague question ive been trying to do some research but i dont see anything that says it is compatible with the update that recently came out and I am a but nervous proceeding without expert advise. I like to have more battery life.
Id like to get rid of the bloatware as most probably do and TrulyClean 1.6 seems to be the choice. The installation is what baffles me.
If there is any information that i am missing that should be provided I have no problems with that.
Thank you again to who ever replies for your time. once i get the hang of this ill be happy to offer help to others who are in my shoes.
Too bad it your first post, best threads are frowned upon. Just try a couple of different roms and see what you like. Didn't people like different things. I've heard vision x is good.

Some roms display "4G" in the status bar when you're connected to LTE. Do a speed test and see if your speed is less than it was before.

I have it temporarily rooted, it loses root upon reboot, please wait until I can get a script working. I have been granted temporary root via camera. It grants temporary root via USB Debugging turned on with MTP and all that turned off. I have been able to remove VZW Bloatware... no luck on bootloader yet though.

If what you claim is true you should contact jdevs and take his help... I am sure, he can work his magic even with temp root... I doubt it though... Cuz u can't remove bloatware with temp root... So either u don't have it or u have permanent root! But again doubt that! No offence though..

Just because someone has 4 posts, and not known DOES NOT mean they are not capable of rooting a device. You are so quick to shoot someone down, if it is a fake, let it be, we don't need to here this comment every time someone claims to have found something... This forum is a discussion for who those who are interested in experimenting with their devices, no need for trolling just because someone has 4 posts and hasn't posted screenshots. If I were to discover a potential rooting vulnerability, I would not be posting screenshots, and I definitely wouldn't have the posts.

So a few things:
1. You have no way knowing if its true or not yet.
2. Didn't you drop the Turbo? Why are you even here if you don't have the Turbo anymore other than to make such trollish comments?
3. This won't be the first time someone who doesn't live on a forum accomplishes something like this.

So a few replies:
1. Deep down, yes we do. Whether you want to admit to the truth is another story.
2. Maybe get your facts straight on my business - let me enlighten you: Never had the Turbo. I'm smart enough to not buy a phone that is so locked down when I want a phone with root and/or an unlocked bootloader. If (not when) that ever happens I'll consider getting it, but chances are the '15 models are going to be out by then and the Turbo will be considered "an older phone". Right now I'm just following along on the (lack of) progress with rooting and keeping everyone in check with reality (or "trolling", if that's how you want to put it).
3. Unrelated since it isn't happening with this guy. I'd bet money he goes away just like the "VZW security rep" did in the bounty thread. I'd give you the link to his area in that thread if you don't remember him, but I'm not sifting through all the bs posted over there to find the exact location.

Regarding number 2, I posed it as a question so no need to get my "facts" straight.

Now you know the truth, in case it comes up again why I'm still floating through these (ridiculous) root / bounty threads.

Lol, maybe, but seems an appropriate response for someone going on a rant, wanting really hard to believe that this guy ACTUALLY temp rooted this phone after I called the "rooter" out on his bs. Screenshots, images, pics of the whole phone, something would be better than just "Hey guess what, I rooted it."
Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting against the phone being rooted eventually. I'm just less inclined to creme all over my keyboard without some sort of believable hard evidence.

Why don't people read some before asking a question that has been asked 1000 times! Don't be so dam lazy!

nice reply
how about instead of being a jerk just respond nicer. Maybe ... just MAYBE this person bought this pohone because of whatever reason and was too anxious to KNOW the answer many others already know without reading thousands or even hundreds of posts. I do not get why so many people have to respond like a dope. Have YOU ever asked a question you just wanted answered without doing some research?? WHY CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!!!!!

Thanks, just that I wanted a response well any more, newly buy it and have always liked the root, so I wanted to know if there is root, I do not make changes rom or anything, just root, thanks for the brother response, very friendly your comment
Unstable temp root via Kingroot app, reboots randomly (usually within 5-10 minutes from my experience, but long enough to uninstall the bloatware from verizon). Thats about it for right now.

This looks like something I may have tried in the past, but I could be wrong. Judging by the date of the post, I'm pretty sure it doesn't work, otherwise there'd be whole lot of people here going bananas and passing out from the shear joy of finally having root. But, like I said, I could be wrong, and hopefully I am. If you decide to take the plunge, let us know and hopefully everyone here in Verizon Note 4 land will have a reason to finally celebrate.
OK I may try it...wish me luck

Didn't work
I noticed your post in another thread, and it reminded me I did try this, or something similar, with no luck. It's something about CF Auto Root our phones don't like to play nice with. I think it's the locked boot loader.
that method only works on DE models.

I sincerely want to know why did you copy/paste ur post on several threads and even created your own? You're just making clutter and need to do a little research before posting. Even I knew soon as I saw CF that it was not for us.

why do you "sincerely" want to know tht for...so i posted in 3 diff places ....whats the big deal. only three place. wow lots of room there. very annoying right, whats funny/annoying to me is ..people like you spend more time criticzing other poeples posts instead of trying to find solutions to our root problems

I think the annoying thing they're referring to is the fact that there's at least two or three threads here talking about root. Each one specifically states that root is not available in any form, except for temp which does not last past reboot. I haven't had my Note 4 as long as some others here have, but I can understand how annoying it can be to see multiple threads on the same subject, only to find a post asking about something that is easy to find an answer to. Just saying.
All 3 are on the same board, so here I am looking at new posts for that board and all I get is the exact same statement each time. I suppose if you posted one here and one in one of the developer boards I could see your point. It would make more sense if it were one here and one over at android forums and then another at some other forum.

As you can see the other members understand very well the annoyances you have brought. We aren't really attacking or being rude but its the fact that it doesn't take too long to do a little research to see what has been tried and what hasn't. Also as it's been said a lot of us are looking for new things and solutions. So posting the same question several times gives us false hope we are all looking for new info man that's all.

A couple of questions

Why did you decide to root your OnePlus 8 Pro?
What do you think of the following information in this link:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/03/11/safetynet-improvements-kill-magisk-hide/
I'm thinking of unlocking bootloader and rooting but i need my bank app and vipps.

I haven't had any issues with Magisk hide working for all my financial apps and the couple of games that check for root.

Why would your buy a OnePlus device if you were not planning to root?
This question has been mowed over more times than the white house lawn.
If you think Google is out to block root access then enjoy it while you can, we can all sit on this forum and moan about it, check the Huawei and Honor sections, it did then zero favours, now look at them.
Personally I don't think Google will destroy one of the things that made their platform great, the losses would be massive overtime.
The answer to your first question is irrelevant the only question that matters to each and every person is different, but none of them are your opinion which means it's a pointless exercise.
Are you going to root?
Yes? Great, enjoy it and contribute
No? Fair enough, why go with OnePlus?
And the cycle of pointless questions continues

I think you're responding to the wrong person. I didn't ask the question, was also responding, and have been rooted since a couple of days after I received it.

1. There's a difference between root access and magisk hide.
I didn't say they were out to block root access, magisk hide is a different story.
2. What's wrong with asking for other people's experiences?

It's just the most asked question.
Google: why root?
You'll be there all day long..
People will always find a way round hiding exploits

I don't know why you made a big deal out of this in the first place but I'm done with this useless conversation so you go ahead and have the last word.
In some Linux systems, you must use the sudo command to invoke Root permissions. Android based on Linux will of course inherit the powerful function of Root.
