Hello,
I've the following notification:
System updated downloaded
Android 5.1.1 System Update
My phone is rooted.
What's the best way to get rid of this notification, and prevent any future OTA updates on my rooted Nexus 6 phone?
Thank you!
Keep it rooted... It won't update if it's rooted.
To get rid of the notifications, either use titanium backup to remove the update app or just go ahead and flash you a nice custom ROM.
Thank you for your reply.
However, I think the update APP is Google Play Services, and I didn't want to delete Google Play Services APP.
Anyway, I'd tapped on System Update Downloaded till it shown Google Play Services.
Then, I'd pressed on the cog icon, and had disabled Show Notifications setting.
The notify had disappeared right away.
Then, I'd deleted the downloaded OTA (100MB) file from /cache

Where's the System Update Downloaded at? I'm having the same issue and since I can't find a way to flash a Z28E zip on my phone with Twrp I'd rather just stop update notification
I am on a custom ROM but still got the update message. No .apk to delete as in the note 4?

Long press on the update notification. Select app info, untick the box for show notifications. Profit.

Done. And thanks.
Enable Developer Options In Android 6.0 Marshmallow
1. Pull down on the notifications shade and open the Settings app. You can also achieve the same thing from the app drawer if you so wish.
2. Scroll all the way down and tap on ‘About phone.’
3. Now scroll down again and you’ll see an entry labelled ‘Build number.’ Keep on tapping till you see a prompt that says ‘You are now a developer!’
after on this option you can Automatic System Updates toggle is set to off, for get rid of this stupid automatic System update.

Brothers,
Need ur help to enable power save for wifi ( hence running wifi make battery drain), also how i can stop automatic update service, each time i uninstall the new market its reinstalled again !! I hate it its so bad, also it take a lot of space of device memory.
with thx
Yea, it automatically updates the market and other google apps. WE can stop app form automatically updating by going to My apps and then choose a app and then deselecting the option Allow Automatic Updates --it can be done while installin apps too-- in description or similar. You can try it for market too. But, I don't think we can stop google from updating its system app.

The option allow automatic upgrading is available while installing an app from market.
Go to My Apps> Select a app> Uncheck Allow automatic updates.
I have attached images files if you want to see. Sorry for the zip file didn't have time to post image here.
It is good if you don't want other app to update automatically. Also, I searched for market but it is not there, think the OS manages system apps upgrade. You can search for if you want --may be you will find it.
All the best
Market app will install the update automaticly, no matter how many times you downgrade this app.
Maybe there is way to that, but i don't know how.
For other app, you can open the market app, then press menu button and select My Apps. Choose any apps that you don't want to automatic update, then uncheck the Allow Automatic Updating option.
Hope it help you out.
Hi,
I have a notification saying "10.1.A.1.434 New system update available". How to remove this from my notification area?
Its there for some days now. I tried tapping on it to open the system update app, clear, swipe it left & right, tried connecting to PC suite, tried rebooting. And the notification still remains. Please advise. My phone have a unlocked bootloader and is rooted
How about clicking on the "clear" button? or swiping that notification to the left/right?

Android application package file (APK) is the file format used to distribute and install application software and middleware onto Google's Android operating system.
Removing it will make the notification update disappear and the software update below about phone will be gone as well.
1) Go download Titanium Backup
2) Go into the app, scroll down till you find "UpdateCenter.apk"
3) Backup the app, and then remove it.
4) Reboot your phone.

Thanks, that did the trick... Does this affect my other apps from play store. Like, Wont they update themselves (manually/automatically)?
Actually, you can remove it by opening the notification/status bar ( slide from top to bottom ), then open app info and force stop.
The notification will not appear again until the next reboot. You just have to do it once after every reboot.

thats the playstore, i dont think they are related.
For anyone who is interested, the service to stop, freeze, or remove is Google Services Framework.
I just did it - go to Settings / Apps / All and scroll down to Update Center. Remove the Show notifications tick and confirm. That's it!
Just freeze 'System update' from titanium backup (or similar apps).
This is the only %100 solution.
Is it safe to uninstall Software update app, guys? I have only basic Titanium Backup on my rooted Z, so there is no freeze option for me. I've removed some of Sony bloatwear (What's New etc.), and lately there is notification about available updates after every reboot. Force stop solves the issue temporarily, and Show_notification box is uncheckable. In my view, this app shouldn't have any major purpose left, since OTA updates are archived for us... Cheers.

hey....this may be your case...my se3ttings under update was set to auto download when push was avail. and it would let me know until i installed or dismisssed. after dismissing, it would come back up after a bit or after reboot. to fix this you have to delete the update it downloaded and is storing in cache. that would remove the flag that it is holding an update and hence stop the notification. to stop it completely, change the setting under updates to uodate manually only. hope this helps.
Bump. I don't want to update but this notification is aggravating. I do not have auto update turned on.

Not sure if this will work with our phones and I can't try it since I'm not on a stock Rom but it might work for u guys. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478747 make sure u reboot when u finished and if u still have the system update then check if the changes saved or if they reverted back to normal. Also make sure u remove the ota file if u downloaded it.

I know this thread is from 2014, but I searched and found this one earlier this week. I have found a solution for this problem today.
Go to Settings => Applications
Right click on the 3 dots
In this menu click on "System View"
Now you will also see the system apps in the list
Click on Updater => Storage => Clear data
Go back to the list of apps
Click Config Updater => Storage => Clear data
Go back to the list of apps
Click Download Management => Storage => Clear data
The message for the system update will be gone.
Hello friends,
My wife has unsafely and ignorantly updated his settings program through Aptoide update suggestions to an unknown file which made settings nonfunctional.
I wonder if there is anyway to restore original settings back in order.
briefly:
-- tapping settings ----> error: "unfortunately the program has stopped"
-- htc incredible s which has once been updated to ICS, at its first time release I guess.
-- there is no backup software in her phone.
-- everything else sounds functional and in order.
Thanks for your help

When you are in the app drawer, press menu button and select remove apps. Find settings app there, and press the uninstall update.

Thank you,
I opened app drawer and selected remove apps in menu but it gives the same error "unfortunately settings has stopped".
I think there might be some issues with settings core which prevents any settings action. even the quick settings wifi is nonfunctional.
can anybody give me the original "settings" APK of ICS ROM? I want to give it a try reinstalling.
Anyway if I won't be able to manage to repair, what is the best way to back up the data and then how to do hard reset of the system and restore selected apps and data?

Do a factory reset. Go to hboot and you will find the option there. Press Vol down + Power button for going to hboot.

thank you so much.
I did the factory reset, everything is fine. the little thing is that in system update it notifies that a 1.1 MB application update is available but it won't download it no matter how long I wait. is it a must package?

No, I believe it is just a minor update to the HTC Hub app. Nothing serious. :good:
BTW, You're Welcome.
After rooting some time ago, I have now received a notification of an ota update. A small red number 1 now appears on my settings icon and on my tools folder because the Updater app is in the tools folder.
I am not really keen to perform the ota update as my phone is working well at present, but I would like to get rid of the notifications mentioned here.
If this is not possible, I will proceed with the update but would like some advice as to how to proceed as I have TWRP recovery and phone is rooted. I can flash back stock recovery if need be but what about root and root access after the update if I must do the update?
EDIT:
OK. I found a solution to get rid of the notification "badges" that were attached to my settings and updater icons:
Using Titanium Pro, I selected the Updater App and then Wiped Data. I proceeded to freeze the Updater App. This removed the notification from the notification bar and the updater icon, but not from the settings icon. I proceeded to reboot the phone and the Defrost the Updater App. I then opened up Settings, scrolled down to Updater and opened it. The app was now now clear of any data and the "check for Updates" button was available. I closed the Update App and noticed now that the "badge" on the settings icon was gone. I very quickly went back to Titanium and froze the Updater App again. Whew - All is back to normal and I do not have to install the update to get rid of the notifications.
