Hello, I have an N1 with the Innovation OS! v4.0.0 [FRF91] image, I'm getting OTA notices like every 10 minutes asking me to update to the 2.2.1 thing. I use my phone as my clock by my bed, and the updater thing pops up over it and won't go away. I've tried installing the update, and read through many threads about it, and I don't want to unroot my phone so I can root it again just to apply this update.
How can I turn off the system updates option? Can this be done? When there are more ROMs with the FRG83 junk in them, I'll flash it then...
I've seen this question asked a few times by a few people in various threads about the 2.2.1 update, but I haven't seen it answered yet... I'm sorry if it already has been, just point me to the thread...
Thanks!

Hey guys, so I have an unrooted & locked stock froyo N1 on FRF91. After I bought my phone, I manually updated to FRF85B, and then manually to FRF91 (too impatient to wait for froyo!). I tried searching the forums, but came up empty handed, so here are my questions!
I was just wondering if this would affect me receiving OTAs in the future and updating applications. For example, when the new Facebook and Twitter version came out I didn't get a notification and I couldn't update it through Marketplace, so I had to download them and install them through Marketplace to get the newest version. However, I can automatically update applications such as Google Maps and Google Voice. Does me manually upgrading have to do anything with this?
Also, I saw a new version named "FRF91-UP" floating around the forums, was this an OTA upgrade? I know it contains the new Gmail application as well as the new Facebook and Twitter app as well, and if it was a OTA upgrade, I never got it . Is there something I have to do to start getting these OTAs if it is an OTA? Or is this a leaked update?
Sorry for so many questions, I'm still learning how to use android to its full capacity ! And thanks in advance to whoever can help me out!!
From what i read, YES, your full stock, long as you got Stock recovery you will receive OTA's from whoever sends them, some Updates require to do a manual update.. i did the manual update too and all my apps get auto update, and i get notifications too, jus like everything else you can try do a recovery(stock) wipe/factory reset.. this might help in some way..
a buddy did this 2 days ago and he got some features that where there b4, he waited for the OTA's,then again i dont think he was really looking.. Lol
and i never heard of any FRF91-UP or seen anything around.. if anything i would have heard from my friend that has waited and all
Edit-
I just googled FRF91-UP this is for rooted phones.. if anything the pulled the update gmail and whatever else and ported it to whatever phone
This morning I was greeted by a message from AT&T that makes it clear they REALLY want me to update.
My questions: What is in this update?
My phone has been rooted, had side loading was enabled, removed at&t apps, and installed the battery indicator update.zip. Is it safe to install this update on top of these changes?
If it is not wise to update now, how can tell it not do install the update? It seems that it will only let me delay it for a maximum of 3*4=12 hours...
You might want to try updating it via Kies mini:

The OTAs have been hit or miss =P Though I'd recommend you unroot first, just to be safe
My Gf's rooted, but unmodified system worked flawlessly with the OTA, admittedly, on the second try. First try it just complained and failed within 5 minutes. Rebooted and it was good to go with the OTA.
You can just use the home button to exit out and it is delayed indefinitely. That is what I did until I flashed a rom that already contained the update.
There have been several threads about this update and plenty of information concerning it. I would look in the Captivate General and Q&A forums if you just want info about it. The developers section is good if you want to flash a rom with the update already applied.

Agreed, do it through Kies. Worked perfect for me.
And the same usual question:
Why is this posted in the development section?
And:
Why didn't you read any of the 50 update threads?
ok so im new to the bionic scene but not new to android, i've had an OG droid since the day the came out and it finally gave out after 2 years of wear and tear
my question is what exactly is all this talk about staying on the "OTA upgrade path"?? and whats the importance of doing so?
ive tried searching but no answers, just people talking about it
you dont have to stay on the upgrade path. you just need to be able to get back on the upgrade path when new updates are being pushed to your phone from verizon. if you install a custom rom or freeze any system apps you are not on the upgrade path anymore. in order to recieve otas your phone has to be stock. being rooted is ok but be carfull as some otas break root. just keep an eye out on these forums and people will post about new otas.
*I'm getting this out of the way first.* I know this may be a very stupid question to some of you, but I've looked on multiple threads and posts about this topic and have gotten mixed results and answers, so I thought this would be the best site to get a definitive answer.
I just got my Nexus 6 through AT&T today and wanted to root it to get rid of the very annoying AT&T splash screen you get when you turn the phone on. I know how to root and unlock the bootloader, but when I do that will I still be able to get OTA updates from Google without any fancy flashing or things like that? I'm sticking with stock Android and I'm not installing any custom ROMs. I know on a lot of other phones you can get OTA updates when rooted, but you have to install them manually. If it's too much of a hassle I just won't root it.
Thanks in advance,
Robert (Mokedoke)
It's better explained in other threads. But no, you can't take OTA. If you unlock only I believe you'll be fine. But as soon as you modify system files it won't work for OTA. Lollipop checks for these changes and the install will fail out.
You won't be able to get the OTA, but you can manually flash your phone to get the latest ROM and with out loosing data. Search the forum there directions to show you how.
OK, I've read so much that things are just getting jumbled in my brain now. There's so much information in these threads that I don't know where to start. The world of Android apparently moves too fast for me to keep up. I've got a Verizon LG G2 that is stuck on 4.4.2, software version 24A. Right after I took the OTA KK upgrade I rooted with IORoot25. I don't think I've done anything other than root, however I have somehow can create the mobile hot spot without permissions. Not sure if there was an .apk that was put on when I rooted or how I did it because it was over a year ago.
Ever since I rooted, my phone tries to push OTA updates but they are always unsuccessful. Every morning I have to hit "Install Later" becasue it tried over night and failed. Besides this being a bit annoying, I haven't been concerned becasue the only OTAs since I got 4.4.2 was supposedly some small patch that didn't really do much (from what I read). But, the other day it notified me that it wanted to push Lollipop and needless to say, I want it.
My problem: I don't know what the hell to do! Besides rooting, I'm pretty sure the only thing I've done is download Flashify and backup my stock recovery. Flashify doesn't show that I have a custom recovery, nor do I ever remember installing one. Just whatever came with the IORoot25. Oh, and it looks like I Quarantined LGSetupWizard using App Quarentine. Pretty sure that's it. So, where do I go from here?? I'm wanting to move to Lollipop, then possibly de-bloat it, and would like a custom recovery so that I can create nandroid backups and possibly start trying out other custom ROMs.
I had an OG Droid for years and would flash ROMs frequently until I upgraded to a RAZR MAXX. Once I got the MAXX, and now the LG, all I've really done is root and hack the wifi, so I'm REALLY out of the loop now! Everything seems so complicated becasue there's just too much info out there. Could somebody please guide me in the right direction to make this as smooth as possible??
Thanks for reading and helping a NooB out. Ugh...can't believe I have to start calling myself that again!!
You could 'freeze' the update so it doesn't pop up every morning. IF you want to update- you can unroot it and then take the update and re-root it and fix the hotspot thing. I'm in the same boat, I'm about to do the same myself.

Thanks for the response. Hoe do I "freeze" the update? If I do decide to take the update and re-root, and especially if I start loading custom ROMs, I know I'm going to want to do this in the future. I've been getting theses OTA update notifications everyday for months now!!
Also, what's the easiest way to unroot?
AS long as you are running stock I believe you can accept the OTA without unrooting: I haven't done it yet as I haven't had a few free hours, but I'm going to try it tonight.
there are plenty of apps that allow you to freeze apps- titanium Backup Pro is one that comes to mind.
