Hello Everyone,
I've been poking around on the forums and can't seem to find out how to disable the OTA updates on my AT&T N900. I rooted my device yesterday and received the OTA update today. I accidentally accepted accepted and lost root. Can anyone point me in the right direction to stop this notification?
Thank you in advance!
The only reason I'm rooting is to fix the GPS issue. If there's another solution I wouldn't mind hearing that as well.
The best way to stop automatic OTA updates is to use Titanium Backup to freeze AT&T Software Update.

Hey guys, so I have an unrooted & locked stock froyo N1 on FRF91. After I bought my phone, I manually updated to FRF85B, and then manually to FRF91 (too impatient to wait for froyo!). I tried searching the forums, but came up empty handed, so here are my questions!
I was just wondering if this would affect me receiving OTAs in the future and updating applications. For example, when the new Facebook and Twitter version came out I didn't get a notification and I couldn't update it through Marketplace, so I had to download them and install them through Marketplace to get the newest version. However, I can automatically update applications such as Google Maps and Google Voice. Does me manually upgrading have to do anything with this?
Also, I saw a new version named "FRF91-UP" floating around the forums, was this an OTA upgrade? I know it contains the new Gmail application as well as the new Facebook and Twitter app as well, and if it was a OTA upgrade, I never got it . Is there something I have to do to start getting these OTAs if it is an OTA? Or is this a leaked update?
Sorry for so many questions, I'm still learning how to use android to its full capacity ! And thanks in advance to whoever can help me out!!
From what i read, YES, your full stock, long as you got Stock recovery you will receive OTA's from whoever sends them, some Updates require to do a manual update.. i did the manual update too and all my apps get auto update, and i get notifications too, jus like everything else you can try do a recovery(stock) wipe/factory reset.. this might help in some way..
a buddy did this 2 days ago and he got some features that where there b4, he waited for the OTA's,then again i dont think he was really looking.. Lol
and i never heard of any FRF91-UP or seen anything around.. if anything i would have heard from my friend that has waited and all
Edit-
I just googled FRF91-UP this is for rooted phones.. if anything the pulled the update gmail and whatever else and ported it to whatever phone
Hey all, a friend just picked up a used Captivate. It had 2.1 on it when he got it so we got KIES and installed the Froyo update. He still isn't able to sideload however. I heard that AT&T pushed out an update to allow sideloading in May. We tried checking for firmware updates but nothing is showing up??? Is there a way to manually install this update on a non-rooted device? Why can't I find ANYTHING on the interwebs relating to this subject. Does everyone have root at this point or something????
Nevermind. Support chat on at&t was able to push the fix to the phone in seconds.
Recently my phone received an OTA update that I didn't want to install. I kept pushing remind me later but for two days in a row around the same time (between midnight and 1:30 am) my phone showed me the update with no option to remind me later. It then proceeded to reboot on its own and try to install the update. It failed both times thank GOD! However, my real concern is likely with AT&T because I believe this update will patch the exploit TowelRoot used. Once I calmed down (I was highly pissed) I used Titanium BackUp to freeze the app AT&T software update app, and now I've not been bothered with those irritating update prompts. Has anyone else tried to install the update while rooted? If so, was it successfully done? Has this issue I described happened to anyone else?
I read somewhere that there might be an OTA available when I first turn on my phone. I'm getting my phone tomorrow and was wondering if someone has taken the update and then rooted yet?
Wondering if the update will screw me on getting rooted.
Thank you in advance on any input you have.

I got phone on Monday, but still haven't got update
The update was for the international version. Tmobile hasn't released the update yet.
So, I have a rooted G4 with Tmo, however I have been receiving an alert to update my device for the last few days, but am not sure what to do. The alert isn't going away and its annoying. What can I do?
Download titanium backup and freeze update app.
What's the update app, what if it isn't visible in tb?

In TiBu:
Freeze -
com.tmobile.pr.adapt
In Root Explorer -
system/pri-app/
LGUpdateCenter.apk changed to
LGUpdateCenter.apk.bak
system/app/LTDDM/
LTDDM.apk changed to
LTDDM.apk.bak
You should probably figure out how to apply the update because it makes the phone 1000000% better. You can root it again after you update it or just update it using a rooted image and save some time.

Agreed.
After updating to 10N, you can then block future OTA Updates via my previous post.
I updated to 10N using this method. Works great:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-10n-stock-rooted-rom-t3188858
so the update you have been receiving was or is for 10n? if so then just flash the 10n xtreme rom from micromod and you will be all set for it includes tweaks and no more ota surprises too
The update isn't working for me. I used the "Low Effort Root," and I may have made a half-hearted attempt at blocking OTA, but I keep getting prompted for the update.
Accepting it causes the phone to to reboot and try to install, but then it just says "Error" and hangs. After a few minutes, it reboots, and I am still at H81110h.
Any ideas? I like the idea of low effort, and not flashing another ROM. I would rather just take the update, and re-root if needed.
