I'm not quite ready to root/unlock yet, so I just want to disable the software updates. I had 3 postpones and I'm down to my last one. I've used adb to uninstall everything with the word "update" in it, but it doesn't seem to have worked. I've also disabled auto-updates though the developer options, but this apparently hasn't worked either...

The last few mornings I've turned on my tv and found my Nexus Player sitting at the recovery screen; finally clued in there must be an update.
So what is the best way to install this small 15mb update? Tried doing it in TWRP, but it failed.
Do I need to re-flash stock recovery and just let it do the work?
Will I lose ROOT access?
I'm pretty keen to get the update, fingers crossed it fixes the Netflix problem.
So I've done more reading and realised I'm going to have to;
- download the factory image,
- install,
- re-root,
- re-flash TWRP
- reinstall Xposed and the modules
- Re-setup if any data is lost
This could become a painful process if Google stick with their promise of monthly patching. Is there a better way?
Are you sure that your Nexus Player's random reboots are being caused by an attempted system update? If your Android device is rooted with a custom recovery, you shouldn't even be prompted for system updates. A couple of months ago, I noticed my Nexus Player randomly going in to recovery mode but this only started happening after I installed the initial x86 version of Xposed for Android 5.1 by romracer. After I updated the device to a newer version of Xposed, I no longer had this random rebooting problem.

The monthly patches from Google will probably be security-oriented so I don't think it's necessary to update that often on a device like the Nexus Player. I wouldn't bother to go through all those steps just to move from Android 5.1 to 5.1.1 but I don't mind doing whatever's necessary for a major operating system update such as Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).
I did the upgrade yesterday. All sorted.
I only ended up flashing the system.img from the factory image, re-rooted and reinstalling Xposed.
Wasn't as much work as I thought and I didn't lose any data/setting.
This particular minor upgrade seems to have fixed the issue with Netflix deactivating itself; so well worth it in my book. But will only flash minor patches in the future if there is an issue I'm trying to fix like Netflix.
Interesting point about Xposed causing the reboots, I will keep an eye on it. It's only been one night, but it was fine this morning.
They weren't random reboots as such, only happened over night and never while in use. I thought that was normal behaviour for the NP; auto check for update, auto download update, auto install update during night/idle. The issue did seem to line up perfectly with the release of the update.
Thanks for your input!
Found the NP at the recovery screen this morning, booted up and there was an Android update pending.
So I can say for certain that Xposed wasn't causing the reboots. Hasn't reboots itself since I started this thread a month again.
Looks like Google are going to make good on their monthly patching; so I either need to find a smooth way to update, re-root and re-install Xposed or disable the auto-update feature in Android. It could get painful.
Yeah, I too realized that it was not Xposed but rather the Android system updates which were causing my Nexus Player to reboot in to recovery mode. I'm good for now after flashing the Android 5.1.1 LMY48N factory image but I'm not looking forward to doing clean installs every month to handle security updates. You mentioned your quicker update method in post #4 and perhaps that's as quick as it can be under these circumstances. I wonder if a user can disable automatic update attempts on the Nexus Player by sideloading the Disable Service app which is available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en.
Disable Service >> System >> Search >> Google Play Services >> Uncheck SystemUpdateService.
Disable Service >> System >> Search >> Google Services Framework >> Uncheck SystemUpdateService.

Twice now I have only flashed "system.img" from the stock ROM without any issue.
- flash system.img in fastboot
- re-root with SkipSolt
- remove Japanese and Korean language with Titanium Backup (to create enough space for Xposed)
- reinstall Xposed in recovery
I haven't lost any settings/config this way and only takes about 20mins.
I'm actually not super keen on disabling auto updates for security and bug-fix reasons, so it's looks like I'm going to have to live with the monthly flash-reroot-reXposed method for now. I might script it if I get the time.

Nexus 6 OS version 6.0.1: This method does not work!
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.
Hello,
Just realized that I now have Amazon Assistant installed (might be after the last update a week or so ago). I can't uninstall it - can only disable sit (which I have done)
Was just searching the web and saw quite a few mentioned of a virus (windows based). Am I the only one with it?
Is there a way to uninstall it without root? Want to keep my phone unrooted so that's not an option.
Yes,you can use ADB to remove unwanted apps. No root required.
As far as I remember amazon assistant appeared with the Oreo update. It was one of the first apps I removed from my rom
Check out this thread for more info.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/debloat-rest-t3665414
Yes, I have the same problem. Why would this suddenly appear with Oreo?
Hi there, i searched all over the net, but all i found were older ways to do it.
Anyway, I am on 8.1 and I have a pending Pie update bugging me (restart now to update), I do not want to do it until the camera issues with gcam are completely resolved.
I have unchecked the "automatic system updates" in developer options, but the update was downloaded before that, so it keeps nagging me to update. I am afraid that if my phone reboots / runs out of battery ill end up with Pie (happened to my gf and brother). Camera means more than pie to me
I am unrooted. Tried searching internal storage for anything mentioning OTA but to no success. Can anyone help me find/delete these downloaded temp files?
Thanks,
jaka
Since we have an A/B partition device, maybe the update have already been applied. You can try to disable update app through adb using a computer, but I guess if you reboot, your device will be updated.
Hi all, the most recent Android 11 update from T-Mobile has had some really bad bugs on my HD1925, so I've reverted to Android 10 through MSM. However, my phone still updates overnight despite me disabling automatic system updates in Developer Settings.
I'd like to disable/uninstall the package that runs system updates, but can't figure out which one it is - any suggestions?
I'm also trying to figure this out. I froze the underlying apps that are normally related to the phone being "auto updated". I did this through titanium backup.
However a week or so ago, I was finally force updated. After re-rooting, I'm now going to try again at stopping these forced updates. I'll update here if I find my solution...

On the 7T Pro (Non McLaren) the code is:
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oneplus.opbackup
Worst case scenario the package doesn't exist.
