you won't update successfully if your phone is rooted. just back up all your data, for stock OTA might wipe your data if abort. and click update, it will aborted itself.

I rooted my Nexus One with the 1-click androot and today I've received the 2.2.1 update (FRG83) OTA. I don't want to install it because it'll unroot, but the notification is really persistent and irritating, and I'm afraid I'm going to accidentally hit the install button.
How can I make it go away?
Install a custom recovery, make sure it works, try to flash the rom, it will fail because it needs to stock recovery to install, delete the update from /cache/.
That will at least leave you with a little time before it tries to notify you again. Best thing to do is load a rooted custom rom with a build.prop mod to make it think it's a version better/same so it won't try and update you.
I thought I had to have an unlocked bootloader in order to install a custom recovery or flash custom roms. Is this not the case?
I also have rooted with the one click but have clockworkmod recovery with stock rom. I just received the update ota and I am confused as to what would happen if I attempt to install it. Will it just abort or will it brick the device? Would just a battery pull and reboot be all thats necessary? Has any new roots come out for this update? I really dont want to lose my root. Any and all help is appreciated.

I was in the same boat as you yesterday. I didn't think of the recovery so I hit update because I was tired of the notification. The phone applied the update successfully and I don't have root anymore. I have no idea how that impacts the recovery since ClockworkMod says the ClockworkMod recovery is installed.
Would like to know as well. Do not want to lose one-click root and would love to get rid of that stupid notification.

this user says he has gotten it to stop via this method. I cannot verify yet as I have not received the OTA
For me that seems to have stopped the OTA nagg screen.
Using quickboot to reboot then clearing the notification, I have not got another OTA nagg screen. I like the 1 click root, turn on when needed off when not.

I'm willing to try anything after 100+ "install later" replies Quickboot here I come
Thank you! I don't know why Quick Boot worked, but it seems that it has. It's now been a couple of hours without a notification message when they were coming back every few minutes. Thanks!
wouldn't it be cool if we got around Google's grand plan to force us to update by driving us crazy!?
Hey -
Please help! I received my M8 last night rooted. As soon as I finished I keep getting the system update is ready message. Can anyone please let me know how to turn this off please? It is driving me crazy.
Thanks!
Kinda related. Just got my M8 got it rooted and s-off. I don't want to take the update and lose root correct? I just flash a rom and I'm good to go, correct? Or was there firmware on the update? TI A

No need to take an OTA if you are s-off...1 of the many advantages

Yes, can anyone answer the question? My s-off phone keeps wanting to take the OTA update and there seems to be no place to turn off automatically checking for OTA updates. How do I get it to quit trying to update?
Flash an updated rom
Have the VZW G2 rooted on the previous OTA update, now starting to see the nag screen to update again.
Last time, I reverted to stock and had to set up everything again from scratch. I needed root so did that but now at the same point again.
Is there an easier way to update, without having to wipe everything and start over again?
TIA
I was rooted and just installed the update. Went through fine and kept root. All my had to do was install/update xposed framework and reboot to get my modules working again. Aside from xposed I had no modified system files and stock recovery. I had not uninstalled any pre-installed apps, just have a few frozen with titanium.
How did you install the update? I tried the OTA path and it gave some hex error after the reboot

Other than root, are you stock? If so, should be able to take ota with non issue. If you modded wifi hotspot, need to change it back for ota. Did you also install custom recovery?

I didn't have any errors but I have no system files modded.
Thanks mhirsh, you nailed it. I had to restore the stock wifi hotspot app, do OTA update, then do the steps for wifi hotspot again.
It's actually the only root feature I've used for quite a while now. The root uninstallers I've tried have all failed to remove bloatware. I'll be looking at other root benefits to get more use out of it.
And to think I spent days restoring my phone from scratch last update ... lol.

I tired this with no success. So i didnt delete my stock wifi hotspots (apk and odex) just renamed them. I removed my modded one and switched back to original names, rebooted, downloaded ota and it errored when it tried to install. Am i missing a step? Thanks in advance

I couldn't get the OTA update to work until I went back to stock and unrooted. I was rooted with stock except I had performed the audio mod and the tethering mod which modified system files. Once I unrooted and factory reset to stock everything updated fine. haven't rooted again yet kind of waiting for stock lollipop OTA update to show up soon.

You should never attempt OTA unless you are stock (having only root will be ok).
Yeah i had forgotten i had performed those mods after i rooted. Initially i thought i was just stock and rooted. Thankfully pretty easy to go back to stock.
I am rooted and unlocked, but today I received a "System Update Downloaded" notification, and it only gives me an option to install it now or later.
If I install it, will it break root? Do I even want to install it? If not, how do I get rid of it?
It's the February 2016 Security Update. (These come out every month.) I usually wait a little bit and someone will release a recovery-flashable ZIP that will bring you up to date safely.

you can not install it being rooted and with twrp recovery, no matter how hard you try. you can flash part of the factory image, then reroot if youd like though.
Thanks! Any way to get rid of the annoying notification?

Hi,
I'm currently on 30.11.51.103(WW) with my bootloader untouched, till now I'm not receiving the 115 update, it says 'Your system is up-to-date' every time by navigating to Settings - System - System update on Japanese network.
I know there's a way to get it updated manually but I'd rather to figure out if it is normal or something prevents me from getting OTA updates.
Thank you.
I would recommend you to download the firmware from Asus website and put it in the root directory of the phone storage, then reboot and you should get a notification that update is ready

Not really man, you could keep digging on why, but I would double check if bootloader was ever unlocked (if you unlocked and relocked it you would still miss the ota updates) as that would prevent you from getting updates. I have no other ideas
