So a about a week ago I got a notification for a new security update but I skipped it due to the bad Internet connection i had that day, now whenever I check for a new update in (about phone) I can't find the update, what should I do?
Settings -> Lock screen and security -> Other security settings -> Security policy updates -> Check for updates

I tried that as well,it says that my security policy has already been updated to the last version!!
Any help?
I skipped it also, thinking it would ask again in a day or so, but it never did. Is May 1, 2016 the latest for the "Android security patch level"? If so, I guess it may have done the update on its own later that night?????

I have a N900A with a newer build that so far does not support rooting without knox issues so I am waiting patiently. When I got home from work yesterday and connected to my home wifi the damn thing immediately started downloading a new update. It won't tell me what it is but is is about 20MB. I have paused the DL by turning off WiFi, but every time I enable WiFi it starts up again.
So how can I prevent it from updating?

There is another very important place which ALSO should be disabled:
Setings -> General -> Security -> Auto Update Security

Thanks, I got that one, repped.
Just an update...
All day yesterday I was nagged about the new update I downloaded was ready to be installed. Only options were "okay" or "remind me later", I kept saying later.
This morning I got up and saw a "the update has successfully been applied". Grrrrr. I like smartphones but not ones that think they are smarter than their owner.
Also, now that it applied, I went to disable future updates (General > Settings > About Device > Software update) and the option is not there. Maybe that is one feature of the new update...to prevent the prevention of future updates.

It's possible ATT don't allow it to be disabled with their firmware

I have an un-rooted N900A (Note 3 AT&T) on 4.4.4 and it just updated without my permission. When I go to Settings > General > About Device > Software Updates, all I see is "Check for updates" and "Continue update" (which is greyed out). They must've removed the option to disable automatic updates.
I was on 4.4.2 since I bought my phone several months ago, then it started prompting me for the 4.4.4 update which I didn't want to do because I was waiting to root it. The confirmation popped up in the middle of me texting one day and I accidentally confirmed the update. This morning I got a notification about a new update and then three hours later it just went ahead and updated it automatically without asking me to confirm.
I HATE AT&T!! How do I disable updates on an un-rooted phone?
I just got my s5 a couple weeks ago, and so far I am loving it. However, there is one "feature" that sends me into an inexplicable foaming-at-the-mouth rage: the security policy update. Every other day, I will get a popup in my notification center telling me to turn on automatic updates. The exact text is:
"Tap here to allow automatic updates for the protection of your phone."
I click it, select "decline," and am send to the security policy updates section in my settings, where there is no option to permanently disable it. It goes away for a couple days, then pops up again to remind me that I need to turn this on. I don't want this horrid feature, and I plan on never selecting "accept," so is there any way to permanently disable this, or will I be forced to decline this every two days for the next few years?
It will get more and more common, mine got to be every few hours... The solution, root it, then use TitaniumBackup to freeze the Security Policy Updater...
My personal experience is w/ AT&T (SM-G900A model), use TowelRoot to root it (search for the threads on here), then with titaniumbackup freeze "Security policy updates SPD_v2..." and then voila, no more warning
If one dug deeply enough, there might be a system property to disable the policy update notification. But that would no doubt require root to edit. It sounds like a bug that you can't disable a pop up of this type. So presumably Google will fix that at some point.
The expedient answer is as the poster above suggested, root your device and freeze or disable the app generating the pop ups.

Awesome, thanks. When I searched for this popup on google, the results all mentioned the KNOX security thing, so I froze that in titanium backup to no avail.

Not sure if you meant before.. or that you just tried freezing Knox now. If the popup is still bothering you, the info in post No. 2 is good.

I had PREVIOUSLY read online about KNOX, and I merely mentioned that as an afterthought. I did follow the advice from post number 2, which is why I thanked the person.

I am getting the security updates notification periodically. I have rooted my phone using Towelroot and also have the paid version of Titanium Backup. I cannot find the "Security policy updates SPD_v2..." in order to freeze it. Can anyone tell me exactly how to find it in simple steps?
In TB tap on Backup/Restore > click to edit filters > type security in filter by name box.
If one is rooted, is it 'safe' to update / accept to have the SPU, updated, or will going forward with this, update the software if one is on a lower version, or will it cause to lose root? I am running NI2 and rooted with TR. Thanks

I am wondering the same thing. Did you try it out?
Mine just said when i press that update bar that my system is modded and something..
Samsung security disabled
hello, im from philippines and a while ago i was trying to contact the samsung costumer service and ask if what is the best way to fix on this SE andriod pop up disabled but they just told me it has no way. this morning i was rooted my samsung G530H. after that the security policy disabled. somebody could help me?i can't update now my phone.
I'm hoping to prevent my phone from taking updates in case a root exploit is found (but then quickly patched by VZ). I've disabled updates in the developer options (Settings/About Phone/Software Info/Build Number - click 7 times to enable developer options menu / developer options menu / Automatic system updates set to off).
I did that the other day and that was after taking the first "performance" OTA which had already downloaded/installed.
I figured that would do the trick however and hour ago I had my phone sitting on my desk connected to my PC via USB and when I picked it up there was a note saying something about my phone had been updated(?). Maybe it was just a notification I hadn't gotten from the first one somehow popping late but I'm kinda confused.. And this was a message about a system update (I should have screenshotted it or read it more my first thought was **** did I not toggle that developer option correctly....but I had). It was the message saying you may want to reboot as it may have drained the battery on your phone.
I'm on Software: VS99511A
Config: B16.LGE.VS995.0
Build NRD90M
Kernel [email protected]
I noticed in Application manager if I show system I can see 2 "System Updates" and I'm guess those are what kicked on and did something while I wasn't paying attention. Can those be disabled? One of them has an advanced permission for "Modify system settings" which I toggled to "no" cause I figured at worst that would just cause an error. The other I can only force stop and then disable but when I attempt to do that it warns me that doing so would hide it and I'm afraid I might not be able to relocate it/re-enable it (w/o a factory reset?) and that could be a serious problem
How is everyone else in the "hoping root come relatively soon" boat handling updates?
Thanks for any discussion/suggestions....

In developer options there is disable automatic system updates. I like that feature.
Edit: sorry. I reread and saw you saw that. I had recently found that.
I'm still on 10b I disabled in the dev section and I get the constant you need to update but hasn't done it auto thankfully

Any idea how to get past a at&t v20 that has updates already trying to install? Flash a new ROM or maybe a factory reset? BTW its already rooted but I forgot to disable the OTA updates. Thanks. EDIT: Nevermind. Just did a wipe on dalvik and cache, which took care of the problem.
Freezing System updates 1_15_10_0 and System updates 1_16_02_0 using Titanium Backup (this requires root), will stop those messages. It was nearly the same set of processes for the V10.
I've also seen a recommendation to freeze FOTA Update 7.0, and a method using the phone's hidden menu.
I'm not addressing rootless options since this message was posted a month and half before me2151's DirtySanta bootloader and root guide was released, that's no longer an issue.
I'm on 10m and recently rooted. I cannot find 1_15_10_0...I found the other file and successfully froze it. I've also frozen the FOTA Update. I tried accessing the hidden menu, but I get an error message. On 10m, is there a 1_15_10_0?
EDIT: Sorry for digging such a long-dead thread. Didn't see the more recent one that's also active.
Hey guys I know this is OT but is it true that the v20 from Verizon is unlocked and can work with any other sim?
First thing this morning, my phone insisted on a password instead of fingerprint for "first attempt after restart". But the Status page shows that the phone has been running for more than 600 hours, and I'm still on API2, Sept. 1 security update. But the Update page has a greyed-out "Continue update". When I click on Software Update, it says up-to-date and tells me as usual that I have to wait a few hours to check again (until 24 hours after my last manual attempt, which also said up-to-date).
The Continue Update is typically greyed out when an update hasn't already been downloaded, so you probably didn't have a failed update. I'm just getting a little upset that the October update is taking so long. Just saw this morning that the Nexus phones are already getting their November update...

My device started the update this morning, it ran in around 253mb, so I would guess its a minor update. I haven't let it finish, I want to give the 935U a run
Got it now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/g935aucu4apj4-oct-1-2016-security-update-t3496395
I got the update. They sneaked in Fullscreen app.
I manually checked for the update and got it just now. It's so irritating that ATT takes so long to release these updates to us!

Over 200MB ... should be more then just security update. Security update is usually something around 40-60MB

Hello, I could really use your guys' help. I am aware of the 7 days wait for OEM unlock to appear on the s8 exynos because of RMM: Pre-Normal. I have waited for 7 days for about 3 weeks and have not turned off my phone during these times. I have never seen OEM unlock appear once. I have also noticed today that, my RMM is never pre-normal and is only ever Normal. No matter which firmware I flash. What else can I do? Is phone somehow broke? I have Flashed BTU, XEU, and XSA. All nothing even after 7 days.
Flash the latest multi csc firmware with odin:
https://fws02.updato.com/GALAXYS8/SM-G950F/DBT/SM-G950F_1_20181012085940_qn0samjn69_fac.zip
Set it all up and then do this:
Go to Settings and activate dev options.
Disable automatic updates and "Never disconnect network".
Go to date, disable automatic time and date and set it back 7 days ago.
Go to update, disable automatic update and check manually for update.
Disable all networks, wifi and data.
Restart your device into original recovery and clear cache.
Restart it.
Have a look if OEM Unlock appears.
If not -> Set it back again 7 days (14 days at all) or more and restart your device.
Dont clear cache or so.
It will show the date 7 days ago but thats okay.
Again set it back and restart.
Don't forget to check for updates while changing date, unless there is already "last checked *date of past*.
If it now doesn't show up, set the date back to automatic and restart your device.
Play a little bit with settings the way I described.
That worked for me sometime.

I have read that this workaround was patched after the August update. I cannot downgrade as im on U4. Any other workarounds?
