How do I delete the accidentally Downloaded OTA?

My phone downloaded the 4.0.4 OTA and I don't want to install the update cuz I want to keep root.Now it keeps reminding me every freaking hour or three. How do I delete the OTA?

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!!!

Stop AT&T updates on rooted 4.3 Stock

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

Hypothetical Question

If one was to have SuperSu Pro with OTA survival mode, and update to KK would it work? Has anyone tried this?
Just a thought. :silly:

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure the update will still fail around 27%. There was something floating around here that said rooting the phone removes a file or something that the update looks for before allowing it to completely install. Obviously you have to be rooted to use SuperSU, so it most likely won't work.

We have people who managed to get it to update while rooted in survival mode it took root but left supersu in the system now unable to delete or use

yep, i did this and now have supersu in /system/app and su in /system/xbin, but root doesn't work and i can't get rid of them. the only real downside i've found so far is Isis Mobile wallet thinks the phone is rooted and doesn't work.. but i don't use Isis anyway.

Oh OK, I was just wondering. Thanks.

Lost root after latest supersu update

Curious to see if anyone else has lost root after the latest supersu update? Rebooting did not change anything. I'm unable to use any root apps (xposed, root explorer, etc).
Any ideas?
Thx!

You should tell is if you are using a root exploit (and which one), what android version you are on, and whether or not you are BL-Unlocked.
I can tell you that my unlocked devices had no issues updating SuperSU, and root apps still work fine.
(I'm guessing you are locked since your signature says "Status 0")....but please confirm.

Oh, great! So problem solved, or are you seeking a solution to work with the most recent SuperSU?

I would rather use supersu, but so long as super user from click clockworkmod works, its all the sane for me.
Thx for the reply though.
I had to uninstall supersu, install super user, attempt to install it, reboot, make sure have root access via root explorer, install xposed, install adaway, soft reboot.

Get rid of 5.1.1 update notification?

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?
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Premium HD app

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

Use titanium backup to freeze softwareupdate.

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
