Is there a way to stop my Droid from updating OTA to FroYo? I have flashed my Droid over to Cricket and have Bugless Beast v0.4 installed, and now since the 2.2 OTA update has been released I get a constant notification that the update is available. The only options I get are to install now or to install later, but what if I don't want to install it all and just get rid of the pesky notification that keeps popping up every so often after I press install later. I already have 2.2 on my system with Bugless Beast so I'm not really missing out on anything. I don't want to update and have to reroot, reinstall Bugless Beast, and reflash my Droid to Cricket again. I'm happy where my system is at
If you have a custom recovery, then as soon as you reboot into the installation your phone thinks that you've accepted, but the custom recovery blocks the installation and you stay on BB.
What do you mean by reboot into installation?
I've booted into clockwork recovery and then restarted the phone, but nothing seemed to change. Is that what you meant to do?
Flash SPRecovery. Then select "install now". It will send a notification that it has been installed on your phone to the servers that send out the OTA but SPRecovery will block the installation of it onto your phone, thus stopping the notifications of an update and keeping you on BB v.04 w/ Cricket. You can flash back to CW Recovery if you want to afterwards.

Im also running BB.04 and got the OTA notification today. Glad I found this thread because I was starting to get worried. I clicked 'install now', rebooted and so far no notification and I am still on BB.04. Woot!
Thank you for this!
Running BB 0.4. I saw the verizon 2.2 Froyo upgrade this morning, and for a second I was psyched verizon finally pushed it out... then I was a little worried about what was going to happen to mine since it was rooted and running a 2.2 Rom I was already happy with. Just like this thread says, I clicked install, and the phone rebooted right back up to my BB 0.4 without any issues.
I'd hate to say I'm a leech, but you guys have so much information here, and I cannot stop reading lol. I commend everyone one of you Devs for all the work you do!
Thank you again,

Yup, it worked perfectly! Thank you!
Interesting. I was able to block it the first time but it popped up again. Anyone know why? Maybe there is another update to the 2.2 OTA update?
I was having the same issue with the ota update until I came across this:
http://www.peteralfonso.com/2010/08/how-to-stop-ota-notifications-on.html#more
it says it is for Buggles rom but I am using a different rom and it worked just fine
I had received this notification about four times before it recognized that I'm updated without rebooting the phone for it to be blocked. Nothing else had to be done except for saying yes.

whatchoo mean able to block it? You mean you clicked install later? Or you let it run and it goes away?
If you let it run/fail it will just come back again a day later, a week later, next time you reboot, next time you come out of screen off, etc... Its done it to me and it sucks cause it won't go away number 1, and number 2, i hate to keep rebooting to fail and possibly missing calls/texts... especially when you first wake up and the message is there like a nagscreen or advert.

I clicked install now and my recovery image blocks the installation when rebooted. It shows the Android guy with the exclamtion point but it doesnt finish the install. Reboot then im back to the way I was. Im running BBv.4 btw. I havent got another prompt yet.
Well I am surprised I received the 5.0.1 update notification but after agreeing and letting device restart, it didn't happen and device claims that is up to date and still on 5.0
Did Google retired the OTA?
Your not alone im having the same issue. My 6 is on verizon and the same issue has happened that you described. Cleared data in the frame service. Phone claims up to date...still 5.0
Darn it....
At least AT&T and Verizon respect the "direct updates form Google" advantage of the Nexus brand.
Anyone able to help?
If you've flashed a custom recovery and/or are rooted, the OTA will fail. It will just reboot without doing anything, then the OTA disappears when back in Android and autoupdate says you're up to date.
You can download the image from the Nexus factory images site, extract the system and radio images, and flash them yourself with either fastboot or Nexus Root Toolkit.
This post gave me the idea:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57411133&postcount=75
And here's the link to the latest N6 image from Google:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-lrx22c-factory-ff173fc6.tgz
You'll need WinRAR or similar to extract the download from Google.
It failed for me too, bone stock. Connect your phone to a charger . it reappear and I was able to update
Dxtra i have tried this and it has yet to reappear how long has it taken for you to see it repop
Same here.... Verizon/Stock Nexus 6. Mine didn't even reboot. After I chose to accept the update, screen just flashed to up-to-date. Now claiming up-to-date each time.
Strange I'm in the UK and have the exact same problem. Got a notification thru last night for the 5.0.1 update, decided to leave it until this morning and it's gone. Must be something to do with Google.....
I am bone stock and have the same issue . Last night it said there was a new update and I said ok lets do it.. It said it was going to restart and then it never restarted or nothing and says its up to date even though its on 5.0 . I am on verizon !!!

Immediately. I guess I was lucky
I did not root/installed custom ROM neither, which boost the upset. But again, I am glad that I should not worry for update delays due the device being from a carrier's branded, and evidently I am not the only one, I will give Google the opportunity before opting for manually flash the update which that means dealing with an 20+ GB backup first.

Question
Hey i was wondering, I got my OTA update last night and of course my phone is unlocked and rooted but i still attempted to download and install it. I was successful in downloading the update and my device rebooted. I shortly got the error message so i rebooted the device and when i logged back on i was still on 5.0 and the OTA notification is now gone.
My question is, since i downloaded 5.0.1 and the device rebooted in the attempt to complete the install will this now cause my phone to no longer get the 5.0.1 update notification? I plan on unrooting once i get the notification so i can go ahead and OTA and when that is completed root the phone again. Or am I now forced to flash a factory reset in order to get that OTA update again?
ideally i would prefer to wait for the OTA so i dont have to factory reset.

I had this disappearing 5.01 update issue as well. I figured I'd grab the OTA and adb sideload load as I had in the past. However, I've found that I can't get the device to go into Recovery mode at all. Power and Volume+ at the robot with the red exclamation triangle yields nothing. Perhaps the reason the update didn't happen is because the update itself couldn't activate Recovery either.

Once you're in the recovery screen, make sure you are holding the power button first, then clicking volume up. If you hit them at the same time it doesn't work.

You are correct! Thanks. Reading elsewhere had it backwards. This worked. Off to update now. Thanks again.
No worries bud

Do I need to be rooted to flash update? On my one plus I could download update and the go to recovery and flash it.

Do you have a custom recovery and/or rooted? If so, the OTA fails. The reminder will probably come back in a day or so.
Same thing happened to me. I received the notice literally seconds after rooting and flashing custom recovery. I tried it anyway for ****s and grins, and it failed of course. After rebooting post failure, mine also stated it was up to date.
I did it the hard way, flashed system and radio using fastboot. All up to date now. :good:
Bone stock no root or anything. Would hard reset work? Or will it reprompt soon?
It's hard to say exactly, but given the image was just posted by Google today, and OTAs are already pushing out, you may see it again tomorrow.
I cleared the framework. Still nothing.
Connect to a charger, it reappear and I was able to update. BTW make sure you on WiFi
So wifi connect to charger and clear framework. Will try. Anyone else have solutions?
Yet to repop update. Still getting the up to date...

Same thing is happening on my Nexus 7 2013. I've tried it 5 different times.

Same here... fully stock and unrooted Nexus 6 with VZW sim. Got an update notification. Tried to update and the notification just went away and now says I'm up-to-date even thought the update never installed... still on 5.0.
Any solutionsnyet? Hard reset phone does nothing btw
Man... Was really hoping to wake up to the update popping up again. No dice.
att nexus 6 failed 5.0.1
Got notification on att nexus 6 completely stock, for the update to 5.0.1, after accepting the install and agreeing for the restart, it never restarted or updated anything. Still on 5.0. Checking for updates shows that i'm "up to date" and attempting to side load the update via ADB fails.
Got the ota update just now. Install was successful.
I'm with Rogers (Canada) and was running 5.0.1 rooted. I was getting the 5.1 update notification and ignored it for a few days.
Last night I reset my Nexus 6 to stock and unrooted. It's been 24 hours and I haven't gotten the 5.1 update notification again. When I manually check through settings it say's I'm up to date with 5.0.1.
Will the notification come back? I'm too lazy to flash it myself.....

It will come back eventually, some day...
Should I wait quietly or should I kick and scream?
I think kicking and screaming will reduce the wait time.

Though it is not recommended, you can clear Google play services framework data. Look here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/11/2...or-updates-on-nexus-devices-isnt-helping-you/
Also, you can pull your Sim card and reboot. Let it sit for a bit without Sim and see if OTA comes back.
Clearing the framework data did the trick. Thanks!
Hi,
I'm French and I 'very got a stock nexus 6.
I have the 5.1.1 android (LMY48T) and as I noticed a notification about 6.0 I started the update.
After few minutes, the update was DLed and a rebootr was announced... But nothing.
I waited for a bit.
And tried to shut-off the phone for a manual reboot... Now I'm still in 5.1.1, and when I check the update it's says that my phone is up-to-date..
Any help?
Thanks for reading.

Happened to me too on my Nexus 6
Thanks for the contribution, did you find any piece of information anywhere else?
no not at all :/
Bummer...
hello gregaste
i can confirm the exact same problem downloaded the ota and pressed restart and install and nothing happened it its telling me ur device is up to date ! i hope somone can help us
Are you rooted? Not sure what "very stock" means. OTAs will fail if you are.
Had the same thing happen to me. Twice. Got a replacement N6 last week and I was letting all the OTAs go through before unlocking the bootloader and rooting. When I got the 6.0 update notification I let it download. After rebooting it didn't update and when I checked system update it saif I was up to date despite still being on 5.1.1. Then, for fun, after returning my original Nexus to stock I decided to let the 6.0 update download. After rebooting I was still on 5.1.1 and again it said I was up to date. Very weird. I got impatient and flashed the factory images.
I'm stock, and i'm not sure about my first message, but I'm positive that "very stock" is an auto-correct fail...
I phone to Google android help yesterday, and a guy told me something like "s-h1t happens" more polite though, and that I should wait for another notification... let's hope.
Happened to me as well. Once the ota is downloaded, give time to the phone to restart itself in recovery, it takes about 10 mintutes to go into recovery and dont interfere with soft reset.

turn on your wifi, connect to wifi, then check if you are up to date.

Thank you for the tip. Maybe I didn't wait because no message told me to... Lesson learned.
So you had a second ota notification? How long after the first one who failed?

That may have been the October security download. After getting Marshmallow on my N5 and N9 weeks before, I got that update notice, downloaded it, rebooted and noticed the old Lollypop boot animation. I thought the update didn't get applied and never got another notification. I later ran Stagefright Detector and noticed that the two latest CVEs were remediated. So I'm still waiting for Android 6 for my Nexus 6.

Thank you for your input.
I'm not sure it's related to the secrity update though, because I was already up to date on this matter (LMY48T) , ain't I ?

I went from LYZ28J to LYZ28K with that update. I believe T-Mobile and Sprint are on different forks of Lollypop.
