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

"Service Unavailable - Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again later."
I swear every phone I've had, at one point or another, gets this message when I try to update. Nothing fixes it, I've tried it all. Only way I've gotten 93% of updates since my Eris is manually installing. In fact I think my first XDA post was how to resolve this, and I just had to do it myself.
So I found the stock KK ROM and, once again, will use Odin to install it and re-root, but why does this always happen? A few times, whatever. Almost all the time, thank God for XDA. Every time....ok what's going on? I backup and FDR before every update to be sure it's as clean as possible.
I've always rooted, but otherwise don't do anything. Is this just me? Does this happen a lot to other people? Is it purely coincidence? I can't find hardly any threads about it for the Note 3...
Basically....WTH?!?!
Last I checked, OTA isn't supposed to work when you're rooted...

The thing with that is I have gotten OTA's when rooted, even ones that removed root. That may have been a phone or two ago though. But the majority of the time I get this. I just don't get it, does everyone else with root only install updates manually? Maybe I should try one of those apps that temporarily unroots so you can install an update...

OTA is not working when phone is rooted, unroot your phone and try to update.

These days, Root = No OTA.
The old method was : Enable survival mode in SuperSU (Pro needed) --> Disable Superuser --> Reboot --> Install OTA --> Reboot --> Re-enable Superuser --> Disable survivor mode.
Not sure if it still works though.
I didnt see a thread already but my G3 started downloading an update this morning without me accepting or saying anything at all. Obviously with Root and TWRP(Bump) I did not want this. I pulled down the notification bar long pressed on the update download, hit app info, then force stopped the app. I went into Titanium backup, made a backup of System Updates 1_13_10_0 then uninstalled it. I don't know if the download will come back but I don't think so. Also the update was 220ish MB and I have no issues with the phone after uninstalling this. Sorry I didnt get a chance to take a picture of the update since it was almost done lol.
System Updates Frozen
I have the System Updates App frozen in Ti BU. Haven't gotten any hint of an update and I hope it stays that way.
Same thing happened to me it tried installing the update all on its own luckily it said waiting for wifi network to update so I froze the system updates app with titanium back up.
RyanEJ25, I experienced the same thing as you. I have a Verizon LG G3 (vs985), rooted.
Trying to get more info on this system update and what it contains. I don't think it's Android 5.0 lollipop update, but more like a Verizon bug update/improvements.
I tried to run the system update that was downloaded via WIFI, but it failed due to my LG g3 being rooted.
Before I go down the path of backing everything, unrooting and upgrading and then re-rooting, just wanted to make sure the update is worthwhile.

The main thing that threw me off was that USB charge modes have changed. Charge and internet connection are removed from PC connections other than that its general improvements to the keyboard and docs and stuff.
You can temp unroot, take the update, then reroot assuming Verizon didn't load a bullet that kills root.

I'd tend to avoid the update, at least for now, if you want to keep root and twrp. Seems to be a number of people mentioning issues, including trouble reverting to 10b.
I also froze "System updates" with TiBU, going to stay on 10b until things clear up. Freezing that app seems to do the trick.
Why are you posting here, instead of the Verizon forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general
If you take the update, you can't re-root and you can't roll back.
Some people have maintained root after updating.
The 5.0 update is being forced onto me like crazy. Right now I am quite upset at whomever is developing Android, I guess google, not very knowledgable about it. Anyway, it's worse than Microsoft in forcing the update down my throat.
It started with the notification, which I could not get rid of no matter what I tried, but I lived with it. Then, android *insert censor word here* me by downloading the entire update in the background while on mobile data. I'm pretty much now at my limit, and I still have 25 days to go in the billing cycle. And now apparently since it's downloaded, it keeps "refreshing" my notification that the update is downloaded and ready to install, which I am afraid that if I ever need to restart my phone (freeze, etc), it will automatically install it, risking my data.
How can I stop the update?
First, can anyone please tell me how can I find the OS update folder to delete the update that was downloaded? I believe in doing so it will not automatically update if I need to restart my phone.
2nd, is there a way to stop the notification? Basically I want to update my OS when I am ready to 5.0.
Currently running Vanilla OS, 4.4.4
Thank you.
Google officially maintains android.... It's the one who has built lollipop... No. It will keep forcing you.. If you have root.. Check in the root folder for the downloaded OS and erase it.. That should help I think

Do I have to root my phone in order to have access to the folder where the download was downloaded?

I just ignore the update messages at every new update. I don't dare do any updates at version .0 until at least the next release and when all apps have been updated as well; who needs the headache. Now if indeed the OS would eventually update itself without my knowledge, that would be very, very troubling as I might not have the most recent nandroid and titanium backups, but that has never happened to me in the past.
Without root, you can press the update notification, tap app info, and the untick show notifications. The problem with this is that you will stop all notifications from google play services. If you get root, than you should install xposed and then install the notify clean module, which will hide the update notification and only the update notification, nothing else.
My problem is now that the update has already been downloaded, and I am afraid that if I will ever need to restart the phone, it will automatically start updating at the next boot.
That is what I did until now, I ignored the update messages, but it somehow got pushed into my phone.

Back up your phone and clean it off. I had 5.0 on my phone for exactly 24 hours before I wiped it and started over. Did not like it at all.
I went from 4.2.2 to 5, no looking back. My Nexus has had a new lease of life. The battery was barely lasting a day and it's now 30% better! No bugs or issues, it's running as smooth as a baby's bottom. Only one of my (free) apps isn't compatible, I can cope with that.

/cache/
Since that folder is empty, I assume I will have to root my phone?
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.
Heya, the two apps I've frozen and have worked for me in the past are dynamic system updates and system updates. I did this right after installing magisk on my fresh stock install, but still I'm getting update notifications once a day, any ideas?
remove/disable
/system/priv-app/DynamicSystemInstallationService
/system/product/app/DynamicDDSService
/system/app/OPBackup
Whats the reason to stay on 11.0.4?
I just don't want to deal with constant updates breaking things, so I typically stay on a version as long as I can for stability. Strange though, I don't seem to have any of backup on the device. I did find a way to clear the system updates cache so I'm gonna give that a go for now and see if maybe that was the problem
