I have a Verizon non dev, locked bootloader, rooted phone running 4.4. Very happy with it.
Just automatically downloaded 4.4.2, but with all the horror stories i don't want to install it. Keep getting stupid reminders
Any way to get it off my phone and stop reminders?
Or any totally safe way to install it? Sounds like getting rid of xposed might do it...
Thanks!
use root explorer or the like and rename /priv-app/3c_ota.apk to 3c_ota.apk.bak

Use Titanium backup and freeze MotorolaOTA 1.0

Okay did that, great idea, thanks!
I just disabled "updater" in the app list.
Edit:
Nevermind, that only worked for the day, this morning it started trying to update again.

the app that checks for the OTA updates.
Will this work before I have gotten the update notification? I have gotten the update and frozen the app, but my wifes phone has not even gotten the update notification yet.

That's the question. Update downloaded ok but I did not install it as I did not want to lose Root access. I have not seen anyone who used Geohot's Active Root to root their phone get the OTA installed.
I have a ton of stuff quarantined (what happens to them? Do they get released/un-quarantined?)
I have other programs that only work with root access such as Ti Backup and AdAway. Will they just cease to function?

You might want to be careful with that. From what I've read in the S4 forums after some unknown amount of time the update will install itself. The only known way to prevent it it to freeze wssync with Titanium Backup. If it never prompts you to install the update you're probably fine, but if it does I'd look into the TiBu option.
Guys, please help.
I'm using an app that does not work with the rooted android.
Is it possible to root and then delete some useless Verizon apps and then unroot a Verizon LG G2?
TIA

As far as I know, there's no way to unroot once rooted (except going back to stock, but that'll just put the bloat back in). I read quite a bit regarding modding and have never come across it.

Probably gonna have to stick to stock then... You can disable most apps via App Manager...

You can unroot from super su. If you scroll all the way down in the supersu settings It will say complete unroot. You can do that. I've checked it and root went away. Although I didn't modify any files/recovery/kernel or delete anything.
Wondering when xda will have section for s2???? Also hoping a dev can come up with a root method. I can test as I have a sm-t810.

Shouldn't need to install the superuser app. It should already be installed.
Root again and watch the process. Particularly watch to see if the system and cache partition successfully mount or fail.
This is why I need screen shots and vids.

Can you post a screen shot of root validator so I can see what got installed.
If the partitions mount as you say then there may be a problem with the supersu script.
You should not have to install any superuser app or update the binary as the exploit uses the latest binaries.
I will be turning in for tonight so if you can get the screen shots of the process where it mounts the partitions and where it installs the supersu files and a screen shot from root validator that will give me something to look at tomorrow.

Test 2.
Watch for the supersu script running in the process. You should see the supersu installer script run after the partitions get mounted.

Check with root validator for root.

Is there anyway to disable the system update notification? For a variety of reasons I don't want to upgrade to 6.0 yet. I have root on stock debloated 5.1

I tried two rooted debloated roms that both said OTA disabled and i got the nag notification on both. Disappointing!
Same here! I myself used TB to freeze all the system apps which were supposed to trigger the OTA updates, but I still got it. I moved the update.zip from the cache directory somewhere else, so if I accidentally hit update, nothing will happen. But still a nuisance.
Anyone with an idea?
Is this a new problem? For dumb reasons I ended up having to reflash Rydah's stock rooted 5.1 image yesterday and starting mostly all over, it's a pain in the butt. I did freeze pr.adapt and update center but this notification popped up to update. I definitely do not want to update. I thought the rooted ROM blocked updates? I guess not because the notification is there. I tried disabling Google play services notifications but the notification persists.
---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------
OK guys, I got rid of my notification. I used titanium backup and froze everything I could on the following list,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/help/debloat-package-list-lg-g4-t-mobile-h811-t3168181
I froze very few from the following list, still working on it after my mishap yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lg-g4-stock-debloater-list-g4-variants-t3167297
The notification was still there, but I decided to reboot and now the notification is gone. Hopefully it sticks. Where can I find the update.zip so I can delete it and clear up some space.

Using a root explorer, in the internal memory, go to /cache. It's about 970mb.

Hmm, I found it comes back from time to time. So definitely need to get to the bottom of what pulls down the update. Still don't think we've nailed the offending apk/service.

As of yesterday and last night, update.zip did not return after I froze all those apps. I wish I could've pinpointed the exact app. All I can say was I froze all those apps on the first list, and maybe line one or two from the other list and the notification was still on the screen. I rebooted because after freezing so many apps, I was worried about a boot loop. My phone booted fine and the notification was gone and it didn't come back. I just checked cache and update did not come back
Well damnit, the update.zip came back probably last night. I don't have the notification though, that is gone but I'm not happy having that file come back. If anyone at all can pinpoint the reason it comes back, please post!

Mine came back too. Deleted the update.zip again.. but would like to disable it for sure.
You could always try moving the files, then put a same-named read only (e.g. chmod 440) file in it's place - or maybe safer yet is put a directory of the same name there.
Greetings,
I have a H811 that is stock but rooted. Lots of LG & T-mobile bloat removed. I am getting a update.zip downloaded & wants to update to Marshmallow. I thought I removed the OTA apps but apparently not. How do I stop this from trying to download & update? Thanks.
Pat
From what I understand, Google Play is responsible for downloading update.zip. You can remove the OTA nag by disabling notifications for Google. Just long press the notification and disable notification and you will no longer get the nag. Then you can delete update.zip and replace it with a 0 KB file with the same name.

Was your 0 KB file overwritten? Did you get the OTA nag again? It shouldn't happen if Google notifications was disabled.
