So I rooted my at&t v20 h10 using the dirty Santa method. However, I just got home from work and when I went to turn on my phone it was in recovery. I then booted my phone and it says there is a software update available and it is preparing to update. I guess at&t has decided to force this update. I don't want the update as I will probably lose root or even worse it may brick so I just pulled the battery. I have about five seconds after I reboot before it starts to try and prepare the update again. I was pretty sure I had automatic updates turned off. Amy suggestions?
Since you are rooted install Titanium backup from the play store (the pro version is worth the money because you can use it on all your devices). After you install it use it to backup to all the installed apps and then remove the system update app and it won't download or try to install the OTA update.
You can also use a root enabled file manager to delete the downloaded update as well.
Unfortunately I have purchased titanium backup but don't have it installed. As mentioned before the update takes over my phone after about 5 seconds after booting. It won't let me do anything and will just say preparing for update. At first I pulled the battery to stop it. I let it restart last time and it boots into twrp. I have tried looking for the update file in the twrp file manager but no luck finding it.

Can you still fastboot? I saw in another thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/att-h910-update-t3535693/page3 (post 42) a few commands that can possibly kill the update.
Yes, I will try that when I get home

Yeah try the fastboot method it's easy to get into. Pull your battery and after you put it back in hold the Volume down key without pressing the power button just plug it into your computer via USB.
Also you should be able to flash your kdz file via download mode and then get TB installed and rip out the system update app so you can avoid the update.
Thank you, The fastboot method worked and got rid of the update. Do you know what to freeze in titanium backup so it won't try to do it again?

On my VZW V20 it was system update. I tend to run a batch action of "Back all user apps + system data" and just uninstall vs a freeze for debloating purposes. Also there's the old method of renaming otacerts.zip under /etc/security to prevent any update that sneakes under the radar.

Update center & FOTA update 7.0 is what I froze,I originally thought it was 3 but those are they only 2 that immediately stood out in my frozen list on Titanium.
Forced Over The Air update more than likely was the culprit.

Getting some kind of error installing the update. I'm on stock 1.6 but I was rooted with universal androot and originally uninstalled amazon mp3 so that's probably the issue. I unrooted using universal androot also and reinstalled amazon mp3 but I still get the same error. I have to reinstall the stock SAPPIMG.zip when I get home and wait for the update to prompt me again. This is what happens after I try to install from the prompt. It restarts, unpacks something, then goes to recovery. After pressing home + power this it what it says.

The update was looking for Amazon MP3 apk to be installed on your phone. It did not find it so it dumped out.

Dude after going back to stock, download aLogcat from the market. When you get the prompt again, open aLogcat, click menu, hit save to SD card and copy it to here. Should be a txt file.

Hello,
Why it's recommended to Freeze (which requires Pro version of Titanium Backup) instead of just uninstall bloatware?
Once you rooted and modified your OS you can not do in place upgrade to newer ROMs anyway, is not it? So why freeze?
Many won't allow a normal uninstall.

Because you will not be able to install any OTA updates as the update files look for all the bloatware. If anything is missing you are going to see a nice triangle with exclamation mark when you try to update.
This is why it is recommended to freeze those files. That way you can just thaw them before you update.
Does not OTA update will not install also if you rooted your phone and enabled sideloading anyway?

AT&T stuff doesn't matter. It's the Motorola stuff that won't uninstall. For instance the BlurEmail won't work right with out Zimbra email solution with ActiveSync. It won't let me uninstall BlurEmail. I can install the working, stock email.apk that I found searching on XDA along side of it. That gets confusing though because in Applications they are both labeled Email. So, I freeze BlurEmail in Titanium.
If I try to install an OTA, it might try to update BlurEmail. If it does, the OTA update will fail. So, I just un-freeze it, install the OTA update, see if the updates fixed BlurEmail, and then refreeze it if it isn't fixed yet.

Actually, thats not true. I was running on stock 8.6.5.6 rooted, and was able to update sucessfully. I verified the update in the settings. I have also verified with root checker that i am no longer rooted, as i was before the update. I bought my transformer only a few weeks ago. It came with 3.1 and i updated to 3.2 before rooting. Wonder if that or the rooting method has something to do with why i was able to update while rooted.

Same happened to me. As I understand it just rooting doesn't prevent future OTA updates, hence why I was prompted to download this latest, but why it now after failing it tells me there is no longer an update available is beyond me. I can only think ASUS has pulled it for some reason.

Hmm interesting.
Which method did you use to root it?
Maybe we can pin point why the updates are failing for some people after rooting. I would like to root mine if it was 100% that the OTA updates would still work, even if I had to root it again after each one.

I'm having problems with OTA updates and have used Brk's ASUS Transformer HC3.2 RootKit Script to root my device.
I probably did something very stupid...in which I factory reset the device, but noticed that "superuser" is still installed in the apps list. I'm wondering now if i have to re root the device to uninstall superuser and then do another factory reset and then see if the OTA update works? suggestions appreciated
I always look at the updater script in the package before I update. This script contains a bunch of asserts that check the integrity of certain files before it will apply the update. If you can get the update package just open " \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" with notepad and that will show everything that's happening when the update occurs including the file asserts it makes. If you've modified these files then it will not update. 8.6.5.6 initially didn't work for me but by checking the script I found the problem was my srs_processing.cfg file because I tried to fix my speaker balance and this was a file that the script asserted. After restoring the original file I was able to update with stock recovery even though I had modified other system files. As long as the specific files the update checks are ok the update will proceed.

You can re-download the update if you clear your DMClient cache.
Follow the instructions in this thread.

I had the error with the Android + exclamation mark so I unrooted (reflashed both the stock ROM AND the stock recovery - to get rid of clockworkmod) then cleared the DMClient cache and was I able to update OTA.
As far as I am aware the OTA will not install if you have clockwork Mod flashed for recovery. But if you have rooted without flashing over stock recovery ie clockwork mod not installed the OTA should work but you will lose root by updating.

Same thing happened to me. Tried all the above, and can't get the update to come back.
Have any of you changed original system files whilst rooted? That's why it was failing for me. I managed to get the update again but it failed. I got it once more after it rebooted but took a copy first, unrooting made no difference. Unlike the downloadable firmwares from the ftp site which I checked out, the update script checks the integrity of a ton of files mainly the system apps that cannot be changed without root. If any have changed the script aborts.
Unfortunately even though I had backed up all of them with Titanium Backup, it wouldn't restore them and TB just hung. I tried all its options but nothing helped - a little worrying.
In the end I copied off the TB backup directory to a USB stick and used the NVflash recovery to restore back to factory. I then performed the upgrade again to both the tablet and dock without issues. Four hours later I have it almost back to where I want it.
Hope this helps some of you, even though it's not the best process, but the update imho is worth it

I did an fxz save data with house of moto which restores to stock but keeps data. Then I re-installed pwnmymoto but did not run it. rebooted to recovery and installed the update from my sdcard. everything went fine but no touchless controls I installed the update and still it would not let me past the training screen. So I said **** it and installed the stock recovery did a factory reset and now I am good I will just juse the new root method.
If you use my method above when you reboot after the update pwnmymoto will automatically run and install root it cycles 3 times so don't worry you are not in a bootloop with it shutting on and off.
The adb root method? By jcase? I'm a little hesitant to use that one. Since I have no prior adb experience

It appears at least some things were updated. When I rebooted, I got the "moto camera" update from the market and when I check build number it is the 15.15.15 update so it looks like that went through. I'm just curious as to what "failed" and what made it through.
For those that failed halfway through, you most likely don't have the new baseband (95). You'll be unable to take future updates until you get everything squared away.

If I had recovery installed, this could have been disastrous, no?
Not only for recovery related problems, but this may also prevent people from being able to install certain things, or even one day in the future with a different update just block root?
How do we uninstall then disable OTA updates on an unrooted phone? When I disabled and cancelled notifications for Software Update app, I thought it was fixed, but it probably made it worse, it just installed without any notification or prompt.

I don't have tibu pro.. I went in to system/app and deleted LGDMSClient.apk.

I'm asking the same question OP is asking, is there a way to disable the update on non-rooted phones? And from experience with several other Android phones... I know it's pretty much impossible to downgrade unless you start flashing, but I'm gonna ask anyways. Is there a way to downgrade the upgrade that was forced down OP's throat and my own throat? For me it actually updated in my sleep, I woke up and it said my phone was updated. OP and I are on AT&T's D800 variant.

On Verizon it is called MobileUpdateClient.apk. I changed the file extension to .old and then moved it to a new folder called old so I would know what I had changed.

Does anyone know the name of the file for T-Mobile? I can't find any of the names listed in this thread.
Thanks
What do I disable on Sprint?

Looks like this worked for me also of my Verizon phone. It seems to have also remove the manual check option in the About phone section in settings.

I know this doesn't directly help your situation since you're not rooted but this should help someone who is.
I had to freeze "Software Update 2.3.0.5" using titanium backup for it to stop. Not sure of a way to do it without root or without the pro version of titanium.

Well, it would still help to avoid further OTA's from being applied if we are rooted and do not use custom rom, there is always a risk of getting OTA and messing everything up, therefore if freezing above app worked for you, it should be all we need. Is Software Update the actual app which checks for version and receives pushes from AT&T when a new OTA is available, or if there are other apps/modules that does this. The problem is, if it is incorporated into android system like some of the other stuff AT&T incorporated, it would be impossible to completely eliminate it without running a custom rom.

If you have the ota, you could use root explorer or browser to go into the Cache folder and delete it(ota) then try to install it will fail or do nothing then hit cancel

Awesome the above instructions worked great! Thank you very much brother
disable ota on at&t
Did you totally remove the apk, or rename it? Also, if removed, will it cause other problems?
I only ask cause i had a g2 that was pushed an ota and bricked my g2. Had to get a new one, now trying ti disable the ota's from doing that again..
Then when kitkat is released, am i not able to update it, then root again?

How can I downgrade?
I don't mind paying for titanium to freeze the app. This is nonsense, enjoyment just update by itself, lucky I didn't install recovery.

you have to flash the old version by using LG Flash Tool, like I did.
So, I have a question for you guys. I got my phone yesterday and I'm on 10o. I installed the CWM recovery for 10o via Flashify, and now I'm concerned about OTAs - I disabled it via the Hidden Menu, but if there's an OTA to update the phone to 4.3 or 4.4, I'd like to receive it and not worry about bricking my phone.
I don't plan on doing a lot of custom ROM flashing, I really just wanted to root and install Xposed. Do I need to flash a stock ROM and go back to stock recovery, so I don't have to worry about OTAs? Or should I be good with CWM and the stock ROM that I rooted?
