I originally updated my Verizon V20 to VS99513A before doing the Dirty Santa process a while back. All was well. But in the last couple of weeks or so, I've been getting an OTA prompt for a system update, for - you guessed it - VS99513A. My phone's software info already shows 13A installed (as it was already at that revision before Dirty Santa), but I get this OTA Update prompt every day now.
Questions: What's up with that? If I can't get rid of this prompt, can I turn off the process(es) that check for updates, and if so, what processes are they? It's an annoyance to have to reschedule this update each day for 24 hours knowing it's coming back, and annoying that I already have it installed.
Thoughts?

Disable both system update apps and this problem will be solved. One of them can be disabled through the application manager. The other can either be frozen through titanium backup, disabled via ADB or shell commands, or you can renamed the apk itself to .bak via a root explorer and rebooting (I don't recommend this unless you really know what you are doing).

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

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.

Ive just rebooted my fire tablet after installing some minecraft mods, when I turnt it back on it came up with a promt saying it was installing the latest software or what ever it does when doing the ota, I knew this from upgrading to 5.0.1.
is it possible it was just doing what happens when normal android optimises apps on boot. is there a app to check the installed software version as im not near my pc to unhide and go in and check what firmware im on. I put this in general as it wasnt a question but just to inform that my tablet possibly had a update despite the proper steps taken to hide the ota and updates.
Saw Same Message But No Update (whew)!
For a split second I saw that same message too when first starting the Fire up. But nothing happened and nothing updated. So I think it's still blocked. Even checking for updates still fails.
So I think we're OK!

Have you tried unhiding to see the software version
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I didn't unhide it, but it says I'm still on 5.0.1. There was no update.
I saw the same thing but it didn't seem to update. I know the method i provided works for 5.0.0 to 5.0.1. Until there is a bump to 5.0.2 or whatever we don't know for sure if the "fix" works under 5.0.1.
Same thing happened to me but it was 3 days ago. I had been trying all day to install my adb drivers without success and switched off the device. When I restarted it immediately went into an update and I went into a panic that the new update would block the ability to access google play but immediately after the assumed "update" I successfully installed the adb drivers and google play without problem. I also checked the version and it still showed 5.0.1 so I wondered if my initial update on switching on the fire for the 1st time had somehow been unsuccessful and that had been what had been causing the inability to load the adb drivers although the tablet hadn't seemed to have any other problems and I had already downloaded and used several apps from Amazon.
I let it update upon first booting my Fire to 5.0.1. I was still successful in installing Google Playstore and hiding ads on lockscreen.
I'm not sure but i think that 'installing the latest software' screen is the android OS updating the dalvik runtime files after rebooting when an apk is modified. nothing to do with an ota.

That is my conclusion also.
I had this happen to me also. Considering amazon patched a root method I made sure to root and nuke any chance of a future OTA unless I wanted it too. That was a cheap move, Amazon.
I'm running Android 6.0, and I am getting penetrated for updating to 6.0.1.
Well, my phone is unlocked, rooted and with TWRP recovery. I did the update to 6.0, but the procedure was quite time-consuming. Play back old backup that only had root but no other system modifications, unroot, flash stock recovery, update, and do the whole thing again. It was ok for a major update, but way to complex for a small one. I would like the security updates, but not at that cost.
What other options do I have? I can't seem to get rid of the annyoing, very pushy Update notification wich just *** pops up in the foreground. All I can do is delay it for 23h59min, which needs multiple inputs for that..
Is there a update file for en.EU that I can flash dirty via TWRP? Or a way to disable the update notifications?

Capture the OTA zip for our common humans didn't received the OTA yet. Download the update, do not install and reboot in recovery. The OTA zip is in /cache folder. With TWRP in /cache and copy the zip to sdcard.

Thank you for your effort! But unfortunately this isn't the 6.01 OTA arriving in March, it's just a security patch from February... Bad news for some of us
On the other hand, you could ban the update notification 'hiding' the Motorola Update Services: adb pm hide com.motorola.ccc.ota
Or like you are rooted, you could freeze the app with some 3rd party like Titanium Backup.

Sorry it's just the security patch. I got the Notification in February, got annoyed a few days with it, and then it dissapeared again, starting to show up again a few days ago.
I also just found out that I can block it via TB (Motorola Update Service), but to know the adb command is nice, thanks.
From what I read to now, the update is not easy, you basically have to start from scratch again, which is too time-consuming. I'll block it for now and check out what that march update may offer.
Yeah I've been getting the notification for about a week now myself. Been doing exactly the same thing as you by setting the notification to 23h59m just to get it to shut up otherwise it bothers me every time I wake my phone. I actually tried to run the update and it just went to TWRP and failed. Would love a way of updating without having to wipe.

Sorry no, I have the en.US OTA.
Hello, I recently got the September update for Moto X Pure and I want to know how to update my phone. I've read around and it seems that I need to restore to unrooted stock before I can flash the image as opposed to just flashing the image without doing anything else then re-install TWRP and reroot. Can anyone provide steps in how to do this?
Do you have systemless root?
Open SuperSU, settings, full unroot. if you have Xposed installed, you'll need to flash the xposed uninstaller through TWRP. Now to remove TWRP, you need to download the latest stock rom and flash only the recovery.img from your computer.
Honestly I wouldn't mess with it. It's just a security patch. Wait until Nougat gets to our phone in a month or so then do a clean install (or follow the steps above) with that.

Is there a way to stop the constant notifications that I have a system update that needs to be applied?
use titanium backup and freeze Motorola Update Services 8.0.2 , i believe should do it.
My question is where is the update stored?
can someone tell me the location in the root of the device that ota gets downloaded to?
I'm trying to find the latest security update and back it up, so I dont have to download it again if it is large.
I saw a huge hit on my montly data usage around 700mb which i assume was the update but all i found in /cache was Blur_Version.24.11.18.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip and was only 6.53MB in size.
I also checked /data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/ ....nothing there
Thanks for any info.
I suspect my carrier is bloating my reported data usage, but i'm unsure.

The OTA update in January, dated Sept 2016, is 40.2MB in size and build number 24.221.8.en.US.
Not sure what is chewing up 700mb of data, but it isn't the OTA... Do you have automatic update on in the Play Store? There were tons of large updates in January, I may be exaggerating but it seemed like 2-3 times a "normal" month.
