I've tried searching but couldn't find a current answer. I'm kinda late to the party and still running stock rooted kk and don't want to update to lp. So how can I disable the OTA nag. Thanks in advance
I have the same problem. It's my mother's tablet so I don't want to take things into my own hands when I'm not constantly around to monitor the device's performance. :/
here you go!

I bought the Aser Iconia A500 today, and its still running an old build of 1.104.XX..
I was wonder if I could download the Updates somewhere, and then install them on the Tablet.
The OTA Download is taking forever and has failed at 92% the first attempt (on second now, and only at 19% after 32 min).
I don't have "root" and would like to update manually without root if possible.
Thank you in advance for any help given..

Do I have to install ALL of those one by one?

You know I would hope not. I would guess that you could go to the 1.4.1 or 1.4.7 straight from where you are. And then maybe the OTA to 3.1 will work. But I wouldn't take my word for it.
Hopefully someone that knows will stumble on this and help you with that part.
Oh, Okay. Well thank you for pointing me to the forum topic.
I just dont want to download the wrong thing and screw this tablet up. I just got the thing like an 3 hours ago.

Hehe you really can't with any of the files on that thread lol, the worse you could do is use the wrong update and confuse the gps, making it think you are in europe or something lol. In other words, no worries once you get to 1.141.07, OTA should kick in: lets just say acer didn't get of to that hot of a start with the whole updating business lol.
Hey I was just wondering if it is safe to update to the latest OTA update, I believe it's 4.3. Can I root that yet or not? I can't seem to find a definite answer between googling and on here.
I've got a Galaxy S4, Samsung-SGH-I337 on AT&T..
Thanks in advance.
Because its new you should probably wait for a little bit to see if anybody else can do it. That would be cool if it's 4.3 though.

What is your current baseband? And, there is no need to post questions like this, just keep an eye on the General section and you will see when the updates are available, what they are, and if they are safe or not. That is also what the search function is for. If nothing shows up in search, and you don't visually see anything, it means there is no info yet, just keep checking back until there is.
Hi all,
Just received my G2 from warranty exchange from my Note 2 breaking, and I would like to go further with it!
I'm currently on 4.2.2 JB, and was wondering where I could find a link to get to 4.4.2 rooted? Is there a way to unroot (This is important incase I need to send it back).
I've seen a few threads, downloaded two kdz files, but just wanted to check if all I needed to do was flash that and that's all?
Thanks in advance!
You can just upgrade your phone (officially) and then root it afterwards by IOroot.
It's way too easier than the kdz method.
Also try to write a better title for your post.( No offence)

First, plug phone into computer, and install updater software from the phone that is on the device in 'Installer Mode'. Take the download on the PC, then follow directions below, and you can still have root after.

Hi again,
I installed the upgrade assistant in installer mode but for some reason it is not picking up the new NE9 update on my computer. See attached print screen. Very strange.. It sees the update on my phone to download though.:cyclops: Do you know why this is and how I can get it to see the update on the upgrade assistant as you mentioned?
Kind Regards
Can you explain why you want the update so bad? You do realize that rooting and accepting official otas is completely contradictory, correct? OTAs are generally what fix things like what towelroot exploits. If you accept official OTA, you will likely lose root.
But can't I just re root after the ota? I guess the reason I want the Ota because I heard of camera enhancements and stability fixes

No. OTA have patches for known security flaws as well. The flaw that towelroot relies on is closed after the new OTA. Meaning, no more root.
edit: in this case I believe folks have figured out a work around for keeping root with the update. In general though, if you value root and what it provides you do not accept official releases.

@ks3rv3rg I believe the links mentioned above provide a workaround for the Root to be kept after updating.
As for the problem nick, I can't help you there. I haven't personally take it as I see taking OTA's is silly with a rooted phone you can modify to be much more. Perhaps someone else who has done it will chime in...
Thank you both for your perspectives.. Plus, I can always just wait for a ROM that currently has the update installed.

Thank you both for educating me on this. Ill try the work around to try to keep the root and update. I just wish I could get the Verizon update assistant to download the NE9. Either way Ill just wait for a ROM with the new OTA.

I just saw that JasmineROM came out and it's updated to NE9 and all you do is flash the stuff. Check it out.

I think you are referring to my safestrap flashable OTA zip file. I'm going to keep that one in my back pocket for the next OTA since the kernel swap worked.
I'm happy to say I installed this rom and the firmware and it rocks!! Thank you .plus I got my download booster and my overclock settings!!

I have a similar question but reversed. How do I stop it from updating and it from asking me to update? I have the free version of titanium backup and can't freeze it. Is their another way? I can't turn off SDM that runs the ota upgrade i can only force stop it.

Hey fellas,
My note 4 finally died on me so I decided to get the s7 edge and stay with the android fellers. I did have some questions though-
I got notified yesterday of a 164mb update. I'm trying to ignore it because I think whenever root is obtained it should be for older firmwares right? I'm on G935TUVU2APC8 and I don't want to upgrade and get shafted.
My second question is where are the update files stored and is it possible to delete them or disable the update so I can get rid of this annoying screen that pops up every now and again?
And I know I shouldn't ask but does anybody have a progress report for root on this phone? For previous phones I saw a donation page for root, this one I have yet to see it...
