Need help on how to disable OTA updates & notifications - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched the forums and couldn't find guidance, so please forgive me if I used wrong search terms and missed it.
I have an XT1564, rooted, TWRP, stock ROM, 6.0.1 and need to disable all OTAs and notifications thereof. I did this before with 2014 Moto X using Titanium Pro, but I can't find specifics on which things to freeze on this phone with MM.
TIA, Any help appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.
I don't have that. I serched with Root Explorer, nothing with "ota" at all on the device, either.

Strange. You can also go to system/etc/security and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak

[Q] Remove OTA update

Simple question.
How do I remove / freeze this update from Verizon. I ended up clicking on the Install later thinking it would just leave me alone for awhile.
Thank you.

Replacement S5 with 5.0, BOG5, am I out of luck to root? Any way to remove bloat?

Done some searching through the threads and I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything new. Build number is BOG5. Can I downgrade that and root? Or am I out of luck?
Are there workarounds for removing bloatware? Thanks.

Sorry but OG5 can't be root. You're out of luck for now.
For de-bloat junks, check out this - Install the software to your PC, then connect your phone and click on read the device, put a check next to the app that you want to block, hit apply. If the app can't be blocked, you could use remove option (put a check mark to the option on the top), however be careful with what you want to remove.

Out of curiosity, why can't OG5 be rooted?

Because they patched all the security holes that allow us to sneak in root!! Started from OE1 then OG5. Anything previous to those 2, it can be rooted.
Is there a way to load in an earlier or rooted ROM using Odin? I just found myself in the same situation.

New T-Mobile Update Root?

So I understand that there is a new update out and I'm wanting to upgrade to it. I'm currently rooted and have xposed installed. I was wondering if I will keep root and not have to wipe my device.
If I have to re-root it, could someone please show me the steps to take? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
Here you go....

Yes, to upgrade to the newest firmware you will lose root and more then likely have to fully wipe your phone, just make sure you back everything up. The root method is the same as when you 1st rooted your phone, but I will leave you a link to the root thread. Always try to search for the answer's before asking question's. Hope this helps you out buddy Click here

Hey bud I hope I caught you before you took the update. I would read the stock rom thread for that update. Something about not updating the bootloader . I have not taken the update as of yet so I dont know about it but here is the thread for it. You might want to ask in there before updating.

Is there a way to take my stock dump files and create a flashable kdz or something?

There's gotta be some way to flash my stock files back to my phone, correct???
I have all my dump files and want to restore to bone stock. Had nothing but problems since trying a root method.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and monetarily rewarded.
THANKS!!!!:good:

Yeah. Post 133 and then post 250 or something like that, in @runningnake3d 's guide. Both were my posts that got me back to stock using my original dumps and then rooted and on WETA.
Excuse but I´m new in xda and I want to find those post in order to fix my lg v20, can you tell me where can I find the post 133 and 250 pretty please?

Need help rooting an LG V20 h91810s?

So I am interested in rooting my LG V20 h91810s. From what I gather I have to roll it back to 10j or i. I have the bootloader unlocked already. But I'm not sure about the rollback. Will a factory reset take it back to 10j or 10i? If not, I haven't been able to find step by step instructions on doing this. I think once I can get it rolled back I should be able to follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/instruction-to-root-h918-10i-t3536472 in order to root it. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
No can do..... You will make your phone into a paper weight.
So there is no way to root it? I need to root it in order to recover some very important texts. If it can't be rooted does anyone know how I could recover a deleted sms thread?
Thread title changed on OP's request
Thank you very much.
As of right now anything 10p or higher is ARB01. Which means you can't roll back to root. Trying will create a brick. There are people working hard to make it happen but until then it's a waiting game. As for the recovery of SMS hopefully someone can help you. Chances are if you've searched and searched for an answer with no luck, it'll be hard to get that answer here. But you never know. Good luck.
Ah, that sucks. Well tyvm anyway.
We are both on the same boat unfortunately, we'll have to wait patiently.....
Me too waiting to root my h91810s.... hopefully someone will find a method soon.....
Sucks! But I like this phone. It'll be a shame to switch. ?

Yeah no reason for you to try... Cause of it works we would be rooted Samsung style using flashify instead of twrp.

No I remember I used it to root get the used flashify to flash TWRP.img then flashed magisk and removed kingroot after. If someone with a unlocked boot loader could try it because they had many requests for root

Care to interpret what exactly they did to root? Where to get files and how to? Maybe this can be changed to English format.....
Just wondering if there's a progress thread for the h91810s exploit. I just received mine and it's on the same firmware.
