Q: Disable OTA update? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a Verizon Note 5 and I'd prefer to do no updates at this time. Can I disable OTA updates in system or PackageDisabler? I'd like to do more than just ignore the persistent notification... Thus far my attempts have failed.

How to remove the Update Available message

I rooted and upgraded my Nexus One to Froyo 2.2 (Build FRF50) long before T-Mobile started rolling out their OTA update to 2.2.
Now that they are updating all their Nexus One users I'm getting the "System update available" notification every all the time I use my phone.
Is there a way to remove the Update Available message?
Simply attempt to install it, you will reboot into the amon_ra recovery menu which will show that the update failed. The message will then go away.

Way to "block" Verizon updates?

Was wondering if there was a way to block all Verizon updates without root. I keep getting notifications to install the latest update (the one that gives Advanced Calling 1.0) but I don't want to install it in case it causes issues. Is there a way to remove/block this update feature without root? Thanks

Auto OTA Download workaround on Pixel 3?

I haven't been getting the monthly auto OTA's on my Magisk rooted Pixel 3XL any more. I understand from another thread that Google has changed the update software so that the first time it sees a new update, it checks to see if the phone is rooted, and it is sets a flag that prevents the download for that month.
I like using the install to inactive slot after OTA method in Magisk, which of course I can't use without Google doing the auto OTA download.
1) Is it possible to make this method work with a manually downloaded OTA from the factory site.
2) Is there a way to trick the update software into doing the download even though I'm rooted? I know some people do this by unrooting just before the new update comes available. Given how variable these release dates can be, this doesn't appeal to me.
