I have the OTA leak v3 or whatever (2.36.605.1) and haven't been able to see copy protected apps....until today.
I ran the *#*#checkin#*#* code and went to the market. Copy protected apps like skype mobile are now there which must mean that Verizon has let the Market know that the build is an official build.
I think that only means the update should be coming out VERY soon. I am betting it will be within a few days.
Droid Eris OTA May 11, 2010
EQUIPMENT SOFTWARE ALERT
HTC Eris – MR3 Software Release
Overview: New software (ROM: 2.36.605.1/Radio: 2.42.00.04.12) has been approved for the HTC Eris (ADR6200); customers will begin to receive the software update notification starting Tuesday May 11, 2010.
Important Reminder: Direct Communication stores do not support software upgrades of advanced devices.
Key Enhancements:
Android 2.1 Operating System Upgrade
Pinch-to-zoom is now available when using the Gallery and Google Maps™
Google Maps with Navigation provides free, traffic-enhanced, turn-by-turn navigation
Support for 19 Microsoft® Exchange Server policies makes your phone more secure and business friendly
New support for voice-to-text entry
Resolution: The HTC Eris (ADR6200) OTA software enhancement will be available to customers starting on 05/11/2010. Customers should ensure 40% battery power prior and will not be able to use their device during the update process.
If true this is good news. I've been riding leak 2 for a while and can't wait to see the phone reach a point where there is one platform for people to try to root from.
I'm hoping one of our great Devs will post the "Official" 2.1 once it has been released. I have the 2.1v3...so I don't think I'd get the notification to update, but I'd like to install the "Official" one.
Sorry for the NooB'ish questions. If somebody could answer all of these questions I would be very grateful. Thanks!
I am running the original 2.1 leak - (2.41.04.02.02).
* Will I be able to recieve the OTA update or is it only for people running 1.5?
* Will it automatically update my phone or will I be notified that there is an update available and then I have to manually update it?
* Because my phone is not rooted, is there a way to backup all my apps and other info not saved to the sdcard? If so, what program/app should I use for this?
Thanks again.

From what I know...(I could be wrong)...:
You will not get the notification to update if you are running a leak.
..so you will not get any notification saying it's out, other than here. the option to update to the official can only be done if someone who receives it, saves it and posts it here. (not certian how that is done, but they did it for all the G1 updates that I used)
..only way to back up apps that I know of for non rooted it Linda File manager or Astro File manager. But, you can just re-download them from market. I have installed every leak on my phone and just went to market and started downloading...purchases showed up for me. Either way, you have to re-install all of them again.
The thing is no one really knows. Depending on how they update the phone all of them (leak 3 and earlier) will get update notices, only leak 2 and earlier will get them, or only official builds will get notices. We'll find out starting tomorrow it sounds like.
Even if it doesn't come OTA to phones with the leaked versions, we should still be able to do it manually. Verizon's own testers are running the leaked versions, so I imagine they're going to make sure those people aren't "stuck."

What's a *#*#checkin#*#* code?
if you type that as though you are going to call it, it will run a program that checks for updates. The program normally runs at least every 24 hours but you can run it manually by typing it in.

Ok, after awhile I noticed the checking...
OP is correct. I purchased Documents2go full version before I had upgraded to the leak and have been without it for awhile now. just checked my downloads area of market and it was finally there again. so looks like the documents saying it comes out tomorrow might be true.

You can always download the offical FULL version from pcdphones.com
I posted an email from customer service in the other thread but here's an exerpt about the OTA
". I'm pleased to let you know that we have recently approved the upgrade to Android 2.1 (Software Version ROM: 2.36.605.1/Radio: 2.42.00.04.12) for the Eris. This upgrade will be automatically sent to customers in stages beginning on May 11. Your phone will notify you when the upgrade is available to install. "
**obligatory n00b disclaimer**
I'm still running 1.5 with plans to root soon. If I snag the OTA will it hinder me rooting once 2.1 gets rooted for the Eris?

I see over at the B&N forums that B&N is working on a fix for the email problem that came up with the 1.4.1 update. If this comes about would it be another ball breaker that puts us back where we started? I guess they could put up a new free email app instead of a complete update or is a problem like this something they usually fix with updates instead of replacement apps.
Wouldn't Indirect's method of blocking OTA's also block this one too? I assumed it was a universal block and not specific to 1.4.1. At least I hope this is the case because if we have to use a new method of blocking every time they release an update, I'm not sure the nook tablet is worth keeping. I don't want to live in fear of updates and always have to have my wifi off, lest B&N cripple my tablet with an update before I can stop it, etc.

Maybe I'm missing something but what is there to prevent them from adding an additional argument telling the installer to go ahead if the version number present != 1.4.0 or 1.4.1?

As my understand is, it also blocks the lookup of where to look for the updates as well. Indirect said he changed this recently, and I don't know the internal details of how his OTA blocker works, so I can only guess. However, snowball-mod's OTA block blocks even looking up newer versions.

That would be a poor programming practice, as this would them clobber any future legit updates from B&N too. So they would be fielding support problems because customers installed the patches in the wrong order for whatever reason.
It would be better, but still ugly, if they just excluded/included the one version (9.9.9) for the install.
But I think cfoesch is right about the additional steps in place too, that Indirect had to prevent an update.
It wouldn't clobber their own updates... If each update has code to install if the version number is not equal to the that update and they remove the old updates from their server. The only downside would be that they'd have to build each one as a full update not incremental.
Yes, I'm sure Indirect and other have considered this and implemented something more thorough... I was really just replying to the general belief that's going around that just changing the version number will save the day.

The logic for checking for valid updates is in the Nook's software and there is no separate installer except what scripts are in the update package that your Nook pulls from the server. In other words, the process is entirely controlled by the Nook itself and all B&N does it place the update packages in the right place on their server where the Nook searches. They could change how your Nook checks for updates but to do so they would first have to release an software update to change it and your device would have to pull that update. So as long as the Nook's update software is properly deceived then you're safe

Umm, okay. Still poor programming practice. As long as B&N allows download of software updates, it opens the option of aligning version numbers.
And I do think they build each download as a complete update, ie. that it can update any prior release version to the latest (#include case version options).

Yeah, so we *theoretically* should be safe for now.
So, I finally rooted my phone yesterday.
Then, today, I start getting full-screen messages from AT&T saying that there's a software update and they want me to connect to WiFi to download right now. There's only a "next" button and no "cancel" button.
Is anyone else getting this nag screen? I've heard mixed reviews about this update (I presume 2.3.6) and I also read that I'll lose root if I update.
So, how do I kill the nag screen for good? And, if I go forward with the update, will my frozen and layed-over apps (apps I've loaded on top of frozen apps) stay as-is? Or will all the frozen stuff revert back to stock versions?
I did the root method on 2.3.4 that doesn't affect the counter or give any visual notifications, and I understand that rooting in 2.3.6 isn't as easy to do, so I'd rather stick with what I have no rather than go through the upgrade process. But the nag-screen keeps bugging me all day long!
Any info appreciated.
Thx.
I'm in a similar situation - I actually DID the 2.3.6 update, had terrible battery life, spoke to a CSR who said that rooting (in order to flash the previous 2.3.4 official firmware) would NOT void the warranty of my phone (i777). I followed the guide in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18576627#post18576627
Perfection -got my phone back to reasonable battery life, etc. etc. Here's the snag: went into a Barnes and Noble today where my phone automatically connected to the AT&T wifi hotspot and now my phone wants to force me into this update again! Blast it all!
To address your concern about going forward with the update - I would highly recommend not doing so. My battery life dropped like a stone on the update - I'm not talking about a slightly perceived decrease, I'm talking about 2.5 hours dropping me 40%.
To remove the update request, delete or freeze device manager. Do this if you wish to remain on UCKH7.
If you accept the OTA update to UCKK6 while rooted you will retain root.
Right or wrong, I froze Device Management through TiBu.
Edit: Not fast enough!

It's the 2.3.6 update that has been talked about here for a while now. Don't update it.
I have also seen the new prompt today. This is actually different from the first one that I was seeing about 3 weeks ago that said there was a new update and the only button was 'OK', this new one has a OK or Postpone. I selected Postpone and then was asked for how long 1,2,4,8 hours.
I have done the same as others and frozen Device Manager, however I am wondering what else this feature does. I would like to know if this will effect any other parts of my phone or just stop the OTA updates.
I had done the stock root a few weeks ago and had never seen anything about updates. Then I was reading about modems and thought I'd give the UCKH7 because I might have better call quality over the UCKH6.
Two days later, I'm at work and notice that my phone is getting warm in my pocket. I took it out only to find it was downloading something... after a little investigating I figured out it was an update and later was given the option to postpone. Knowing I better check it out on XDA before doing anything I postponed and then ended up freezing it with TiBu.
I guess this is an update specific to the UCKH7 modem.....
No, not just modem update. It's the whole update called UCKK6. Do a search and there are multiple problems with this new ROM.
DON'T do it unless you LIKE worse battery life, non-working BT HID devices and other quirks (some ppl have problem with phone calls using the new modem).
AT&T is obviously push the update to everyone now instead of the batch updates.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> [All Tab] -> Device management -> Clear Data
That'll make it stop nagging you about the update until it goes out and checks again.
I have a rooted S2, and I 'checked for updates'
It said I can update my phone and the phone downloaded about 20 MB file by itself and asked for a restart to update the phone. I said yes, restarted the phone, but for some reason, it says, Update Failed.
You guys know the reason behind it?
Thank you
If you rooted and removed some bloatware, your update will likely fail. Why do you want to updat anyway after all the warnings?
You should have known that the minute you rooted your phone, you kiss good bye to official OTA updates. Sometime, it may work but most times it won't work.
My update failed? Where can I delete the file?

You must be rooted.
The easiest way is to use Titanium Backup. If you don't have it, there is a free version as well as paid one. With the free version you can only delete, but with the paid version you can either delete or freeze any application. Install TiBu and then find device manager in the list.
If you want to do it manually, the file can be found in the system folder I believe. I don't remember exactly what it is called, however, and I don't have it on my phone to check.

It's insane that you can't stop this reminders easily and they are 'forcing' you to upgrade, specially when 2.3.6 seems to have so many issues as reported here and other forums.
Am happily running on January RUU of GB.
Rooted with Amon Ra and deleted a bunch of stuff.
All the news is saying that the Zound's ICS will come
out April 6th. I am unlocked S-0n and I would rather not
take the new stuff yet.
Please can you suggest what's gonna happen when the OTA
is released and it's not wanted?
Thanks.
I think there is an app called FOTAkill for that.. maybe do a Google search for that..

That should stop your phone from receiving the update cus I'm not positive but on my ego those are the apks that I know searched for an update for the phone so should be the same.

Hey - You're the Easter Bunnee about 3 days early.
Went to Google Play (Market) and got Root Explorer.
Went to system - apps - and took out two items with

Root Explorer is a rooted phone's best friend IMO.

I'm one of many people experiencing issues with the Moto Z (Force) move to Nougat. In doing so, I have choppy audio, tinny sound, popping and crackling as well. When contacting Verizon, they claim that nobody else is complaining about this to a point where their company is notifying its CS reps with a resolution. When contacting Lenovo/Motorola, they claim that they've received a ton of complaints since the Nougat release, and suggested that I bring the phone back for a swap since I had only just purchased it. I did just that, and followed their additional instruction for not updating to Nougat. The only problem is that the freakin thing downloads automatically while on wifi within a day and no way to prevent it that I know of. Now I have this aggressive attempt of the OTA management to get me to start the process. I don't want to, but neither do I want to manage having to ignore this update every day, nor do I want to accidentally initiate the process. I'm looking for a bit of help.
I thought that if I disabled the Motorola OTA service that it wouldn't push. But it did push even though I stopped the service under developer options. And even now that it pushed, I hoped not to get the message, but there it is. And since I don't want to root yet, I can't clear the space in cache where the update is to prevent it from updating accidentally. I'm looking for the names of any other Moto services that might be related to the OTA that I can disable to prevent this from happening. I don't mind factory defaulting my phone and starting over to clear their cache, but once the update actually executes, I'm hosed with crappy audio again. My wife has the same phone and we have one day to get her a new one for free within our return period. We like the phone, do not want to get a different brand, and hope that we can find a solution to this. Again, I want to do this without rooting.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

About to download and try it out. If it works, I'll be back in a couple days to report. If it doesn't, I'll be back sooner. Thank you for the suggestion.
Also, if you can provide any specific configurations to manage the OTA, I'm at your disposal.

PS I won't be searching for updates either, but I will be bugging Lenovo/Motorola to find out when the bug is fixed.
I'm rooted, have xposed and the donation version of the app.
As the OTA app is a system app you can't greenify it without having xposed installed and the donation package of Greenify.
Try to just disable the app with the normal app manager.

Anyone done this debloating on a VZW phone? A dash 1 phone?
Please share your experience.
Thank You.

It worked on 6.01 but no longer on 7.0. If you debloat on 6.01 and take the OTA to 7.0 everything you've debloated stays that way unless you do a factory reset.
for some reason google took away the ability to use the adb commands in 7.0
Almost like they want us to be stuck with bloat lol.

I just tried it and I get some permission error. So it seems after the Dec patch it no longer works on '6.
I have Moto Z Play -1.
any suggestions for someone who might have accidentally downloaded the system update, but hasn't installed it yet? It makes me nervous, having that "new system software is downloaded and ready to install" message b/c I know one day I'll probably accidentally click on it and there won't be a way to go back.
I am a Z play owner.
By installing Z (not play) apps I believe I have disabled the OTA. But I have no nagging update to test it's functionality on.
To my point, if this does work then the reverse should work also.
I will up my apps if anyone want to try it.

Received the following error:
Code:
Processing changes to: Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS.
Drivers installed
USB Debugging set
RSA key accepted
Etc.
Seems a common error with some folks. As for me, this does not work on this phone at this time. Thank you for the nudge to look at this utility, as I have high hopes that its exactly what I need. I have posted in their forum, and have offered to test prototypes.
Thanks again.

Same as me on my z play.
The last patch did this.
I'm hoping someone can please help me. Everytime after rooting my N10 from TMo, it auto updates and i lose root. I made sure in dev options auto update was not on and i even tried to free the 2 updates in settings. Can someone please help?

If it downloads the update clearing the system cache should purge I've been told but not tested it!
More than one way to skin a kat.
If you're rooted use one of the rooted apk blockers; I have very little knowledge in that area.
You can block the update app with ADB if you want.
Karma Firewall can be use to block the app itself from internet access, Karma uses almost no battery, freeware, an excellent apk. Can be set to run at bootKate.
Your carrier can also disable them on their end if it's a carrier phone.
I use Package Disabler on my 10+ to block the garbage. Use the none Samsung phone version.
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

Updates break phones.
Rule #1 if your device is running fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be!
I'm still running on Pie. My current OS load is over a year old, still fast and stable in spite of heavy usage. Very low maintenance.
Security is generally just not an issue unless you do something stupid with Pie and above.
As course there is no saving dumb bunnies... even with the latest updates
do you know how i can block it in ADB?

I don't use it. There are tutorials here though.
There are a bunch of system managers for rooted phones that should lock it down.
This one does I think:
Autostarts - Apps on Google Play
Keep control over your phone: See what applications do behind your back.
play.google.com
i will give it a shot. There's an option to block updates?

It lists all startups. Be careful it's a powerful apk on a rooted phone...
In developer options is a toggle for automatic updates. Turn it off.
With that deactivated, it'll give you a notification prompt about new updates, but won't force the update like it usually does when you reboot your phone.

If it's a carrier OTA update app that won't work.
The AT&T one has every permission under the sun. It behaves like a bloody virus.

Yeah, they're an issue.
It's amazing they've been allowed to keep that app active.
But OP is talking about a TMobile device which uses the on system updater instead of some carrier crap thankfully.

Yeah if you can flip it off in Developer options that is sweet.
Google Services also pushes updates, and last night it managed to get through - usually it whines there is an update, and even if I let it, it crashes... figured no worries then. Well... it (or something, every other OTA service and option is off that I found) made it through and unrooted me last night.
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...can-meet-up-with-a-terrible-accident.4281293/ for OP
Luckily, bootloader still unlocked, updated to latest TWRP and reflashed Magisk and all seems to be OK.
Reflashing stock 14.0.11 gives a bunch of loop errors, working on that.
Anyway methinx time to get rid of G/S and replace with the Gapps version....
