[Q] Can you disable automatic OTA updates?

Hi Guys,
I've got a Droid 3 on 2.3.4, rooted and bloat apps froze with Ti backup pro. I'm concerned that a later ota update may auto install and mess up the phone due to the apps being froze. Is there a way to stop automatic ota updates?
Is this something to worry about at all? Can an ota mess up my phone if it installs with apps froze?
Note: nothing has been deleted, just froze.

i dont think having apps frozen would do much, and if you dont want an ota update,i cant really help with that

Thanks for the reply stumpyz9. I was under the impression that an ota with stock apps deleted could brick the phone, but I could find any solid info about ota with frozen apps. I just wanted to be sure before another update comes around. Don't want to kill my phone

Typically to get OTA updates, you have to manually check for updates. Even if an update appears as a notification, you still will have to accept it, it will not auto-update. Final point is that unless you have all stock apps the update will fail and not install. Frozen apps will cause an update to fail, I haven't heard of anyone bricking their phone this way. Either way you should be fine.

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!!!

Latest ota with root?

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.

[Q] stop att software update

Device manager is downloading some att software update. Im assuming it will mess up my phones root and xposed settings. Is there a way to stop it by disabling the function in Titanium Backup? Or should i let it happen? Ive already disabled the push security updates (security policy spd_v2_1402) btw.

Use tibu to freeze these system apps: AT&T update; Samsung Push Services; localfota and security policies.
That should stop the updates. If you update it breaks root.

Thanks! I had to keep my phone on airplane mode until you posted the solution!

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?

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
