usually you can find that downloaded update under the /CacheFolder....
if by any chance you open that folder and you see nothing, then good.. that means the download OTA update was not successfuly saved to your phone. Just erase that folder and you should be good after that. (use Root Explorer to really view the file inside the folder).
Regarding stopping the popup updates, you can stop that by using a tasker app that force stop the 'Software update' process (from always popping on your phone.) Or the alternate way also would be to use Titanium backup and freeze the 'Software update' process.
Cheers!
you keep root in almost all ota cases

There is nothing to worry about root. You will retain root. Howevr if you get partial root after OTA update just download busybox from market and install it.
You can always avoid reminders about OTA using Titanium Backup. Select the OTA and freeze it. Gone for life till you have Titanium Backup installed. lol
Cheers!!!

Bizarre! I made a OTA update from 2.3.6 to 4.04 and didnt care much whether I would lose root. I'ts been 3 -4 days now and this morning I've seen on the screen that Titanium backup batch operation had successfully been finished.... Do I still have root? since Titanium looks for a root?
open superuser and update binaries

sounds like a carry -over/remanent feature, you may have the so-called partial root, does adaway work ? can you copy files into system ?
use some apps that need root permision
like root explorer and so on
Every program work but cant update binaries.

i have a similar problem.
i am on cf root and titanium backup also works. but nothing else which requieres root rights, e.g. root explorer, androidlost or ntfsmounter.
root checker says i am properly rooted but i have never been ask for root permission for those apps. in superuser app there are also no apps listed. not even tit. backup

Hey guys, so I'm on 4.4 with a locked boot loaded and so-on with root.
The ota keeps prompting me to install. What should I do? I'm assuming if I allow it, it'll break root.
Thanks

If you have titanium backup, then you can freeze updater 1.0 and MotorolaOTA 1.0 and this will stop the constant prompting.

1. You should search.
2. Use Titanium to freeze MotorolaOTA
I currently have NB4. I do not want to lose root.
AT&T keeps trying to download and install update even though I have set no security update in settings. Is there a way to block this? Perhaps Greenify the update process?? Thx.
Use titanium backup or root app delete to freeze the att update app

hi. i have rooted my phone. now i received notification that update is available but after download it does not update because it says it is rooted.
i uninstalled root with super su but is still does not install
is there anyway to install updates without having to full format the phone?
Yes you can, follow this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2803479.
Download KDZ and flash it with that method.
I did it like that.
You will lose root access and boot will be relocked in the process.

I'm on 5.0.2 and rooted (via PingPong). I rooted after the update notification (for 5.1.1) showed up, and now I can't get the notification to go away. Does anybody know of a way to get rid of the notification or will I have to just live with it?

I am rooted via pingpong and I never received a notification when the update became available...
I fear that my problem may be that because the notification already showed up before root I'm stuck with it. Whereas if you rooted before, then that process doesn't carry through.

did you ever get this resolved, was about to root mine and stumbled on your thread. I have the notification also, but havent rooted yet

Can confirm. Freezing software update does remove the icon.
That's what I was thinking too; Titanium Backup to freeze it. Will have to hunt around and find the process to freeze again (been a while), but that should do it.
Thanks
any non-root way of doing it....I am a T-mobile build that still isn't supported by pingpong root
