First of all, I know you just can't update modified stock ROMs with OTA updates, it's just that Huawei Updater keeps downloading the OTA Update and prompts me to install it every other time I awake my phone. Just wanted to know if there's any way to stop it from trying to update the phone, maybe killing a service or something. Also, I believe this constant waking is swallowing my battery, since Android OS is on top.
Potentially dangerous but you can Find the app and freeze it with titanium, or even uninstall it

Go to settings,updates, in options there you have two things to slide them off. Do it. Then close that notification. Thats all
Keep getting the update pops up and I dont want to update. Is there a way to disable the update itself?
I tried App Settings > System Apps > Moto Update Services, Force stopped but there isnt Freeze or disable Options like my S8. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I froze it in Titanium Backup. That is if you're rooted of course.
Why don't you just update what's the point in not updating when there is an update.
This is under the developer options. It bugged me too.
I'd have a street party if mine said there was an update, i think it is a myth and no updates actually exist.

What option stops the notification? Disabling automatic system updates will still prompt you occasionally to update if there is an update pending.
Using Titanium Backup, I assume freezing Motorola Update Services should be the only app required, correct?
If I wanted an opinion on whether or not I should perform the update, I would have referred to the "should I perform the update" thread - not the "How to disable the G5 plus update notification".
Seems like a very simple thing to understand, no?
Here is the real answer:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.motorola.ccc.ota
Ok, but more clarification please.

Got a new Moto G5 plus (unlocked) with 7.0. Spouse accidentally downloaded update BUT caught the error before installing the update, and did not install. The file is apparently on the phone and now badgers us constantly to install. I want to halt the automatic update process and remove the downloaded update file. I have disabled automatic updates under the 'Developer Options' as you say, but the notice continues, even after reboot. I suspect it is because the update is now resident on the phone and triggers the process, even though it has been switched off under developer options. This phone has not been rooted. I guess the fix will require rooting, but I'm apprehensive about what method is the most current and reliable, specifically for this phone. Any help on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Til then, a billion annoyances.
Same issue here - and the update notification is extremely aggressive. It will interrupt anything I'm doing, including videos/music on YouTube.
I vaguely recall reading somewhere that we need to flash a stock recovery and boot.img temporarily, but I don't know if that's accurate. I'm wondering if I should just wipe it and install Unofficial LineageOS.
For clarity, at least in my case:
Phone is rooted
TWRP Recovery
Custom boot.img
Stock ROM
EDIT: I'm trying NeoGeo's advice and freezing Motorola Update Services using Titanium Backup.
i uninstalled magisk completely,
unrooted
flashed stock boot.img
relock the bootloader
but OTA giving error of "installation problem"
what to do???
Well you always have the option of flashing oreo image.
I dont know any othet way.
Still didn't got January update.

Waiting for rollout to reach me.
Thanks.

Man, no offense, but do some reading. People are telling everywhere we have to wait for the next stable build from Xiaomi. The first stable build was buggy, and that is why is stopped.
Be patient, probably we will get update by the end of January, for those who already did update to Oreo, they got January security patch to fix some bugs. For now, it is better to stay on Nougat.
Watch this video to learn how you can flash the stocks ROM in order to install the OTA update , this method is also help you to overcome from the Bootloop https://youtu.be/sbkZoYs0LP0
I have rooted my phone and installed Titanium Backup. What processes do I need to freeze to prevent OTA updates from automatically downloading and installing? I tried the usually keywords, but it seems like the only process that might be an updater is ConfigUpdater. Is that all I need to freeze? Thanks.

If you're rooted, OTAs won't install anyway.

I don't think it will automatically download, but you're always going to have the notification telling you an update is available.
So far I've found an option called "Automatic System Updates" in Developer Options, I have turned that off. I guess there's no way to block it from checking for new updates?
I think I've figured out what to block to prevent the update from downloading. I use AdAware to log the DNS requests when the phone is trying to download an update. There where a few URLs, but the one needs to be blocked seems to be redirector.gvt1.com. After blocking this url the OTA update download will pause itself (probably because it can't reach the server). I don't know what other Google services it'll affect, but I've tried downloading an app from Play Store and searching for an address in Google Map, they still work. So I'm going to block that URL for now. I can always temporarily unblock it for certain app updates if they need that redirector url.
Same Problem here
I have a Rooted Lenovo Yoga Tab YT3-850M running Android version 6.0.1, and I am struggling with this same issue. I used TWRP and Magisk.
Even if I enable Developer Options, there is no option to turn off Automatic Updates.
And it keeps downloading and installing the OTA System Updates. It fails to install, but keeps on doing it again and again.
I don't know how to stop it. The only thing is I disabled it from doing the Update over Mobile Data, and I switched off the Wifi to get some relief.
And am now hunting online for some method to either install the OTA, and go back to Root (or) to Disable OTA Updates permanently...

If you guys are talking about ROM OTA system monthly update, then the solution is very simple.....use FOTAkill

The solution is even simpler:
There won't be any more monthly QTA updates for this phone anyway, as the company behind the phone went bankrupt and stopped doing updates since February 2020...

Yeah, we knew that, but many people don't use Feb because TWRP doesn't work well with it, so they rolled back to Jan, and that's why the OTA kicks in.

All right...sorry, this happens if one is only readying through half the story...
...was already surprised to be the first one to have that mentioned - now this explains it :silly:
Nevermind... :angel:
did anyone find a working solution? I tried FOTAkill but it did not work. I also tried editing the build.prop, but i am still seeing the update icon appear after a few hours.
Thanks,
JD

Where did you put Fotakill? Try to put it in /system/priv-app folder

I did try that folder as well, but it's not removing the update. The app also deletes itself upon reboot from /system/app and /system/priv-app

Hmm...that's strange....and you said it's gone after reboot which never happened to me.
Making sure you're using the right version from xda ( and your device is rooted, I assumed)

I did the same exact thing 4 times in a row and it is now persistent through reboots. Try number 2 caused magisk to claim no root after reboot. Very weird.
My wife has the same phone and the exact same setup, it took 3 tries to make hers work. Her phone never lost root.
Neither phone is prompting for updates. Very cool! This is a step in the right direction.
Both phones do show the update available notification icon on the right side of the notch. Should this go away as well? I tried multiple cache/dalvik wipes to no avail.
Thanks,

How to disable system update nag on rooted OnePlus 8 Pro? Thanks.
Update it.
Other than that, you can install some sort of notification blocker to remove the notification, or a magisk module to uninstall the system updater.
If you decide to update it, just let it update, but make sure that you have automatic restart disabled, and that you won't restart the phone when it says to restart. Then just go to magisk, click install to inactive slot, wait for it to finish, then restart. Voila, notification disappeared, and you still have root.
Thanks, but I don't plan to update, I have the phone set up the way I want it. Someone in another site mentioned on the Motorola Z3 he needed to freeze the OTA updater. If anyone know what the OnePlus OTA updater is called please share. These are the apps I currently have freezed.
Also how the hell did my device know there's a new version? I freezed the updaters right after root. If anyone knows the IP for the OnePlus update servers please share, I have AdAway installed, I can add them to the custom block list. Thanks.
I found out the nag is from Google Play Services so I'm SOL unless I want to de-google my phone.
Yes nagging will never stop, but your system will never be updated with the freezing. At least it is just a few times a day. I am never moving to 11 and up

Thanks. But I found out that the nag comes from Google Play Services, there's no way to disable it without affecting other Google apps.
