Can you freeze ATT address book?
Yup. I did. And since your only freezing you could always unfreeze if something doesn't work right.

Do NOT REMOVE...you won't be able to get OTA updates that way. Just freeze them

Thanks. I went ahead and used titanium backup to do it. Are there files that ti backup would miss that this app would clean up. This is my first android phone and I am just now digging into it to see what I can do with it.

Use Titanium Backup and I believe the name is Software update 1.0 but I'm not sure so somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
You are indeed correct

I tried this method and the OTA again tried to install. It of course failed. I then bought Titanium Backup Pro and froze the Update app. No problems since. GV2.0 is working great!
If anyone doesnt want to buy an app to freeze software update i found an app on the market called App Quarantine its simple to use and its free. I havent had any notifications or issues with it.

I have a Sprint Moto X that was rooted with PwnMyMoto.
I have been getting notified of an OTA update, but don't want to accept it in case I would lose root.
Is there a way to disable the update notifications?
Does anybody know how to keep root after the OTA?

There are a couple threads on how to keep root after an ota.
But that being said I am also looking to remove the update apk.
Does anyone know which one it is?
3c_ota.apk?

Thank you good sir.
wish there was an app to do this for us, I am tired of having to go through a million steps, I would rather pay for this to get done so I can preserve my root with no worries until further development

smart man, if you accept it, it sends you into an endless boot loop.

Does motorola connect still work when these are stopped? I mainly ask because with droidwall MotoOTA is grouped in with the MotoConnect services. I'm thinking I want to use MotoConnect but I don't really care for or want updates.

MotorolaOTA does not allow to be frozen on 4.4.3
if there was another small oled phone this one would be on the garbage already...
worst software. manages to be more annoying than Samsung.

I used Titanium backup to uninstall the OTA updates, find it under "Motorola Update Services 24.00.007" and simply uninstall it. Or you could use the app FlashFIre

I have a US AT&T Note 3, I have followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856632), however on the AT&T Note 3 there's not FotaUpdate.apk. Is there another name for that file on an AT&T phone? I heard AT&T will come out with the KitKat update soon, I do not want to be automatically updated when that happens. Please help. Thanks.

You have to root and then use either Titanium to freeze AT&T software update, or all in one toolbox to delete AT&T software update.

Get the paid version of Titanium Backup. Scroll down to it..press it then click freeze at top of page
FIREKAT V11...made with real tornados
Titanium Pro is the best way to go, and just freeze the apps, instead of uninstalling them. It makes it WAY easier when you want to OTA again. If I'm not mistaken, the OTA install looks for the "bloat" AT&T installs.
