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)

Hi, my device currently on China ROM v2.20 and rooted with Magisk. Is it safe to OTA update to China ROM v2.21?
When I read about Magisk I found it:
"Magisk works systemless-ly, and it doesn’t modify or alter your system partition. If you want to install a banking application or if you want to install official OTA updates, and much more. You can install the OTA updates without losing the root privileges, and that is everyone need. They don’t need to root again and again."
Anyone dare to try?
Hey can anyone help me with updating my phone which is on V3.25 I can't download the updated because my phone's rooted I don't want to unroot my phone without formatting
Try to uninstall magisk with "replacing the original files", then try to se if you can OTA. If not, you'll have to reinstall everything.
Hi all,
I have Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite rooted and with great Luneage 17.1 onboard. I am very happy with this set and I don't need anything more at the moment that requires root. Some problems apeared using banking software and auth tools because of root. I dont need to mask or hide anything, I just want to unroot the phone leaving current software. In case i'll need it i can root it again. Reverting back to MIUI is not an option. So, the question is: how to unroot my phone?
- I found that sotware tool like Root Checker or SuperSU says that it's not rooted (WTF?)
- I cannot find any files in BIN or XBIN folders (crap, I love simple solutions)
Hope that you'll help me.
Hello,
i have a Huawei p20 pro with Emui 9.1.0.387 and Android 9. Rooted with magisk and TWRP installed.
Almost Everything working except Files app, gallery (makes 5 minutes to open) and play store do not install any new app. And when i install any app via apk i get the message incompatible with current system version even if its installed and fully working.
My question is, am i having a broken system file or rom that cause these issues ? And how to solve it ?
I do not want a full refresh of the phone, but if there is a solution to repair the rom or install same version over it without losing data or apps, i would love to get help please
PS: i can't update to Emui 10 as this one is not root compatible and bootloader get blocked.
Thanks in advance
