It could seem a stupid question, but in marshmellow I don't have the app "Motorola system update". I tried disabling some stuff in the google framework services, but nothing works.
I have systemless root and I am afraid of the update, I will update soon, but in this moment I don't have the time.
Please Help

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!
I bought this for my mom and I was wondering if the tablet did regular updates, would it lose google play? What would an OTA take out other than root?
I'm currently on 5.1.1(got mine the day the update was released and updated without knowing) and I was able to install google play and services and haven't had any problems with either. As far as OTA updates, I doubt it will prevent it from working but can't say for sure because we don't know what Amazon will do.

Others have mentioned that the Amazon updates are full images, so I would speculate that if you had root and installed to system it would probably be wiped out. If you used the script, it just installs like a regular app and should be retained through an OTA like all the other apps. That's not to say that an OS change couldn't cause the frameworks or app to crash\stop functioning.
Didn't some others say they couldn't install Play store completely on 5.1.1 ?

The current update may not break google play but at any time in the future a update may come out that does indeed break it. Why risk it? Just disable OTA.
It seems a bunch of people got screwed because they failed to kill OTA & got hit by 5.1.1. It's just foolish to leave OTA enabled. You can always apply a new update manually or even temporarily re-enable OTA if a new update proves safe & you want it.

This. Completely automatic updates are for the elderly that have to call their children to be reminded how to cut/paste in Excel.

The Google Play script from 5.0.1 works just the same in 5.1.1 without issue.
Hi,
I have an unlocked, rooted z3+ running MM (32.1.A.185).
Because of the issue with the encrypted bootloader files, I have been trying to disble OTA update notifications.
So far, I have installed FOTAKill_Droidviews.apk and Disable Service by WanQi, (using it to disable the Google Play SystemUpdateService). I also renemed the Otacerts.zip located in /etc/security to otacerts.zip.bak
I then rebooted into TWRP and cleared my cache and dalvik.cache
the notification that there is a Xperia sytstem update ready fr download won't go away.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get rid of OTA updates one and for all?
EDIT:
I see that there is a service group called Xperia Software updates, including ModelUpdateService and 26 others. I think the culprit may be hidden here, in which case the Google services are a not applicable to this device. Still could do with help in isolating which service is responsible for both the initial notification and any updates that are already registered.
BR.
Hi guys,
On Nexus 6P, with recent October security upgrade (not over OTA but, system images) I have noticed that device is without root even with flash of most recent (SR5 SuperSu 2.82). Flashing from TWRP looks right as it should. All process tasks pass without failure. System reboot twice on initial booting as regular.
Once system is up an running, not root was detected by apps.
The strange thing is that SuperSu app was missing.
When I try to install it from Play Store, or from Superuser.apk from ZIP file, install was successful and still not root, no SuperSu app etc.
Is there any chance that Google starts to filter SuperSu app from Android and prevent it from running ?
When I try to install SuperSu app from Google Play, as soon as it is installed, I am getting "Install" button again like it was not on the phone.
Anyone with similar issue?

I've got a feeling that this isn't SuperSU specific but, I could be wrong.

I am buying a unlocked note8. And I require root as a lot of my apps require it.... and it’s my understanding that I am going to need to stop the ota update in order to achieve root.
Can someone please tell me how to stop the ota update so I can root the device.
Hello,
Curious if are you going to run a custom rom or root and remove apps you don't want?

Which model do you have? Snapdragon?
Generally you can disable the software update using a Package Disabler from the Play Store, or freeze it using Titanium Backup once rooted. Simply turning off the update option in Settings will not work long-term, as it would eventually update anyways. That's why you need to disable or freeze it.
In developers options you can also turn off auto update system. Usually after you root OTA updates won't function anymore anyway after the device status changes to custom. Or does that not apply for US Snapdragons & SamFail?
Can I temporarily disable it just long enough so I can root. Via samfail
Yes, just go in settings - software updates, there change to download updates manually... Job done: nothing will be updated unless you initiate it yourself...
Can update be stopped without root?
Most package disablers are not working,dev option not working.
Have gone back to oreo from pie don't want be forced back onto pie.
I have a rooted Galaxy s10+ with android pie. Doesn't freezing "Software Update" system apps of my android by Titanium Backup make booting problems for my device? Is it safe for me to freeze those apps? I ask because I've heard freezing some system apps like "Device Care" stops the device from booting. As other fellas I get ota update notifications and I wanna get rid of them by freezing those apps.

I am disabling apps with a package disabler for them to still keep updating! So I have gone back to the method of disabling apps via ADB (no root needed this way)
It uninstalls it for the current user, but a factory reset will bring the app back if so needed. You can uninstall the update app with this method, or any other app for that matter. (Just be careful with what you disable)
