Then dont connect to the internet until you get it fixed, you should be able to longpress the notificatio saying is downloading and itll tell you the app, find out ehat it is and disable/freeze it.

Is root necessary for this process to disable?

I rooted, installed Titanium Backup and used it to freeze these 3 apps........

I'm not sure which one controls OTA's but since I froze them, I've not had to worry about trying to stop them from happening........

Wireless Tether FC

Today I needed to take the laptop on my route for work. Every time I tried to start wireless tether it would FC and give the option to report or cancel. Restarted phone to just do the same thing.
Went to "Manage Applications" and cleared data which fixed it but still have no clue what would cause something like that. The report gave a list of running apps and other stuff but gave no explanation that could see.
Have anyone experienced the same thing and if so did you ever figure out the cause? Wasn't a big deal, just had to reconfigure the WPA setting which took all of 30 seconds. It was just a PITA cause was in a hurry and busy when it chose to mess up.
Did you install the new Wireless Tether update that says in the Market description that you should uninstall it and reinstall from scratch if you get force-closes after the update?
Didn't even notice as updated a few at same time. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Thought it was something I did wrong...... Well except for not reading update info.

Heh, I've been "burned" enough times by not reading the changes and recent comments before doing an update that I never touch the "Update All" button anymore.

Unexpected Failed Root....

I've already rooted this thing like 3 or 4 times and gone back to stock for repairs since I'm flashing for Cricket. Now it wont root. Here's the entire Root CMD:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The first few times I did it, it worked flawless. But now I've tried 3 times, and it just goes about with this error.
Never seen that one, maybe try downloading the root file again?? Just a thought... seems like its not installing superuser properly
Sent from my rooted froyo Fascinate
Ok, that worked. I also ran it directly from CMD this time instead of clicking Start_Root.bat... Thanks.
same problem
I am having the same problem, I have tried it manually also but with the same results. It seems like the rage.bin loads properly because I get a reply stating so. It hangs up on the changing of permissions even when I try it manually, any thoughts? I did so the Verizon OTA and now when the phone reboots it tries to load some other verizon junk I was thinking maybe the .bat file is timing out can I change the delay in the file?

Riddance of 'System update downloaded'

Does anyone have a working method of getting rid of this?
I've tried a few suggestions from around the Web but no luck.
Really irritating. Any alternative way to install it with TWRP?

Just a security update unfortunately, but haven't a clue how to get rid of it. I'd like to install it, but can't with root.

Nothing you can do, the price we pay for being rooted
If you just want to get rid of the annoying notification message then go to Settings >> Notifications >>> Select show system apps under menu >>> Google Services Framework >> Toggle all notifications to off.
You can manually update to the latest version without wiping your data. You will need to already have an unlocked bootloader though and will need to re-rrot. Instructions can be found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

Not clear whether "trying" means you succeeded or failed. Given that ambiguity there is always this:
Flash a pure stock (Samsung factory) ROM using Odin and start from the beginning. You have nothing to lose as your phone was "hard reset"
Thanks for your concern but where can I download it easily cos I try downloading it from sammobile but no way
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
You might have to buy a membership there (sammobile) - I recently tried downloading with my freebie account and it didn't work. (It is possible that was due to my browser type or ad-blocker issue though. I was using both an off-beat linux browser and multiple ad blockers. Someone recently suggested that might be the trouble. I didn't investigate further.)
Do you know the android version and the firmware version?

Just to update anyone else having this issue, I flashed my phone with TWRP using ODIN and that seems to have fixed it!
I didn't have to reflash my firmware or lose my data using this
