So I must of somehow disabled it or something when I first rooted my phone and don't remember. But I'm following JTidler guide on how to update and one of the steps is to take the ota update. But I can't take it since the System update button is missing under the System section of the settings. Anyone know how to get it back? I'm still on 4.4.2 if that means anything.
Update: I used the searched Software update using the settings search button and it shows up in the results. But when you click on it it just takes you back to the main screen of settings.
Maybe you can use Samsung Kies 3?, i update my s5 with it
Did you use titanium to freeze SDM?

I just checked and no. I don't even see anything called SDM in titanium.
You may have uninstalled it...

Yeah looks like I did. I ran a script that someone made to remove all the bloatware and I just looked at the list and SDM was included. Looks like they put all the apps that were removed in a zip file to install everything back.
Edit. Just reinstalled it and I have that option again. Thanks for the help. I would have never known to look for SDM.

You get it in the market.
Maybe you should use the search function.. just saying
I installed titanium back up and busybox like it asked but it still says not rooted. But busybox says its rooted.
Try installing SuperUser too.
thanks for that it works now. But for some reason when I try to uninstall creatouch it hangs and doesnt respond. Also anyone knw where the list of safe to remove applications are? Tried searching cant find it

That will keep reinstalling itself, so you need to also remove the apk from data/app-private with RootExplorer.

You can use THIS list as a guide, but everyone is different so what I might remove someone else may not and vice versa so use your own judgement when removing apps.

also do not touch the google stuff!!! specially gtalk. it's essential for communication between your phone and the android market, without it which you will not be able to download anything (as i learnt yesterday)
how do i remove them? with titanium backup? or a manual way? If so how?

With Titanium.
I wish you told me earlier. Now I have to reinstall everything.
I personally find that removing all the apps under the apps-private folder is the easiest and safest method. I just deleted them there and they are gone forever.
will try that out after my phone reinstalls. Oh well lesson learnt, so now ill be more cautious

That Link has the best solution...pick the apps you consider unwanted, move them to a temp folder, use your phone for a week, if there are no issues...rm the temp folder...
Before rm'ing, optionally you can do a backup of the temp folder to your PC, in case you need any apps later....
I find this method very reliable and issue-free
I have been trying to delete copilot from \system\apps\copilot.apk
It is read only.
I am using the offical 2.2 froyo and have used z4root to root the device and installed android mate as a file manager to try and delete it. Android mate triggers the pop-up telling me it wants root access and i allow it but still cannot delete the dam file.
Its annoying me because the copilot icon is in my applications and extracts and imstalls every time its clicked.
Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this file, preferably without buying applications to do so.
Thankyou
you need to explicitly mount the file system as R/W
no idea if the program
you're using can do that..
you can do it manually in a terminal
su
mount remount,rw /system
or using root file explorer (paid app)
and also IF ROOTED, you can use Titanium Backup and delete the app, and make a backup if you think the app will mess up something.

Yeah they say you learn something new everyday.
A couple of days ago something I installed something (still not sure what) locked my streak in airplane mode, so I restored streak to factory settings & was surprised that it was still rooted after.

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.

Download antek app manager its free. Then freeze com.Motorola. blur.updater. or look for updater and freeze that.

I haven't a clue as to what would've broken it, but I'd start by un-freezing anything that's not blatantly a bloat or otherwise undesirable app.
FYI - iirc deleting bloat does nothing to increase internal storage, that's a hard partition, so I always freeze.
Do you have Xposed installed?

are you sure about that? just strange how my storage went up quite a bit after deleting bloat.. if you freeze it or uninstall it i can see it this way but deleting all together should clear up some space.. thats pretty much why root is needed so you can mess with the root file system.. if it didnt clear up space thered be no need to get rid of bloat

I understand that when you do an OTA update while rooted and/or have a custom recovery, it breaks the phone. As some of you may or may not know, Verizon has released a knew update to prepare for XLTE. I want to know how to get rid of this notification. Is there any way?

Yes, it's there and I disabled it but again, there is no update from AT&T so I can't verify that option works or not.
Maybe, freezing it using TB will add another layer of security? or maybe it's over-killed.

I don't see anything in Titanium that resembles anything from that list. I have a Verizon phone: and its very different.
I still very much would like someone who knows something about Verizon phones to help me!
I don't have Titanium, but I was able to freeze and eliminate the notification by Force Stoping System Update, clearing the Cache, then using ES File Explorer to rename /system/app/LGDMSClient.apk to LGDMSClient.apk.bak no more nag!
