Its driving me nuts. Update fails and i dont really want to update anyway. How do i get rid of the bloody notification?
I'm on Modaco r21 and getting the same update notification. Would love to be able to get rid of it. Would it have anything to do with the build.prop I used the one from the Modaco kitchen so I could see all of my paid apps in the market and so on.
Update:
I just reflashed with Modaco r21 without the 2.1 build prop and the update notification goes away and I also see all of my protected apps in the market.
I have the same question. I have frf50 on the at&t nexus, rooted and unlocked. I would prefer updating to frf91, but the ota update doesn't work.
You get rid of the notification by flashing this:

"Update.zip to flash with custom recovery"
And the other things too, if you like.

Hey all,
I'm running a T-Mobile G1, rooted with JF's newest 1.5 firmware and running just fine. As of last night I started getting notified that my phone had downloaded the new security fix from Google and would like to install it. There is no "Don't install" option that I can find, just "Install Now", "Install Later...", or "More Info". I just have been going to the "More info" option and backing out from there which seems to delay it for a few hours, but it just keeps coming back. Does anyone know if it will be safe to allow it to install (I don't want to try for fear of losing my precious root)? If I can't let it install, does anyone at least know of a way to get it to stop bugging me about it?
Thanks,
Bob
I thought JF's builds blocked OTA Updates...apparently not JF's ROMS are old flash the cyanogen's cupcake! So many goodies inside
That's what I thought too. After telling it off enough times it seems to have given up, so that should fix it for now, just hope that it doesn't come back.
I haven't heard of anyone loosing root from any OTA updates...think about it, it's the same as flashing a new ROM.
It will never go away as long as there's an update though, only when you actually do update. Google is picky like that!

To keep the phone from checking for new updates try:
Go to Settings>Security, then scroll to the bottom, click firmware download and tick never. Should do the trick tho I don't know for sure as I haven't ever been prompted.
Then again, you shouldn't be getting OTA updates at all, haha.

You lose root because the update replaces the boot image and other images which are the key thing that is needed for root access on your phone.
I figured, I would get the best response here... If you ROOT an Android phone, will downloading OTA updates through your phone brick it? I read an article about the new OTA for the EVO and it will brick rooted devices.
Misinformation. It would brick it if you applied it twice in sequence, not if you were rooted. You need the stock recovery to apply updates anyway, if you do get one it will not harm the phone because it can't be applied.
In the thread when the final OTA was coming out, lots of people that were rooted, said they installed it, it worked fine, but they lost root. So then they have to obtain root again.
So, I'd assume it would work fine if everything else was stock... you just might loose root.
So your saying, that if I were to install an OTA update through a rooted Android device running stock firmware, it would go through successfully without bricking it. But, if I ran the update a second time it would brick it. Correct?
If you're on a rooted stock rom, assuming you haven't flashed a custom recovery, the phone's recovery utility will not allow you to flash an OTA update because of a signature mismatch. I'm not sure what happened with the evo, but I don't believe it can happen with the nexus.
Okay, thanks? But I would still like some more input on this situation.
Pay attention

If your not rooted you can still flash OTA update leaks, there are plenty out there. If you want custom roms then you have to root. The stock recovery only flashes stock updates, not rooted updates. If your not getting it by reading the forums, then I suggest you stay on stock, and wait for OTA update.

No, this only happens with this specific update with the EVO.
Alright, great! Thanks guys. So since I believe the nexus one already got the offical OTA, did any of you lose ROOT access?
You WILL loose root when you update from an OTA update.
I had a rooted FRF50 and went to the FRF83 update and lost root/custom recovery, everything else was fine though.
I ask that you all forgiveth the newb nature of my question in advance, but if my phone has been rooted, and is currently running FRF50, is there anything I can do to the phone to have it automatically update using OTA? I ask because I received the notice for the OTA update the other day, but being rooted, got a signature mismatch error. (The only reason my phone is rooted is bc I bought it used that way-I wish I could've had it bone stock instead!) I know I can somehow do a manual update, but I'm trying to figure out for further future OTA updates if there's a way that I can have my phone simply automatically apply them.
Well, first off, thanks for hijacking.... AND, I have been doing a bunch of research. You should find the official build of froyo (FRF85B correct?) and manually update it. Just use it unrooted and it'll be easier when an OTA update comes along
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!?
How can I make OTA updates work again? I'm running 2.1 right now. But would like the critical update that will fix my phone from double dialing and lagging. My phone was rooted with Universal Androot, and I unrooted it with that app and tried unrooting it again and it said my phone is no longer rooted.
I go to Settings>About Phone>System Updates>HTC Software Update>Check Now. Then it says, System Upgrade to 2.31.651.7 (7.49 MB). Then I hit Install Now. Then it goes to the boot screen HTC and white background. And then it just stays there forever. I have to take out my battery To reboot it. I already unrooted my phone so I don't know what the problem is. And I can't find a way to download it online. Sometimes on the Sprint site they don't have the OTA update because they are slow. So is my phone soft bricked? I am trying not to do a factory reset.. so any suggestions or solutions? Appreciate the help.

If you want to keep root you should download the root version of the newest update, not the OTA version
I believe the update is rootable. But if not, at this point I don't care. I just want my phone to work without having the lag and constant double dialing. The update fixes all that. So what do I have to do? Where can I download the OTA if not from my phone?

Search in the development section on here for a rooted stock .7 rom, and then just flash from recovery
hey guys i just gotta a new software update on my htc one and i just realized that you cannot update your device if rooted because each time i try and install the new update it just boots into recovery which im not sure if thats suppose to happen or not. Anyways i tried this app called voodoo ota rootkeeper but each time i push protect root it just restarts my phone instead of giving me the option to temporarily un-root. Is there any other way how i can update my phone Thanks.
i am kinda confused what you are trying to achieve, you are rooted on a stock rom, but you want to update the ota, is that correct? my guess is that you have changed some system or other files (or changed kernel, or put a custom recovery) if anything of the previous is true, you'd have to go back to complete stock and then install the ota... or just get a custom rom there are 4.2 out there you know.
When you unlock the bootloader, some HTC apps are automatically deleted. If you're trying to install an official OTA, it will check for those apps and abort the install if they're not there. The only way to install it will be to get those apps back, or restore from an NAND backup that has them.
Or, alternatively, use one of the custom ROMs from either these forums or the HTC One International forums. They're way better anyway, and are running on Android 4.2.2.
yeah all i wanna do is upgrade to 4.2 so i gusse the best thing to do is just install a custom rom then and sorry sorta new to all this stuff
If all you want is 4.2 then you would need to flash either trickdroid or arhd latest version, I don't think 4.2 is even officially released yet as an ota anyway
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
alright thanks. but what is OTA exactly I just downloaded this app (voodoo OTA rootkeeper) from the google play store which was suppose to let me temporarily un-root my phone so i could update to the new software
