Title says all, but to be more specific:
Till morning, nag screen from ATT appears reminding me to update, what I don't like to do. It has no option to stop and only possibility is to say later wich means it will appear after one hour. I was unable to uncheck automatic updates box in settings, as there is no in settings.
Dear Gurus, please help with issue, I hope it is not only me who doesn't want to update until new will be rooted.
Yes, and I'm not ATT customer, I have unlocked phone.
ATTENTION !
If you frozen "update" process, it has to be unfrozen even after hard reset. I spent lot of time to find why update procedure doesn't start until I checked "update" process which I froze before hard reset.
I found solution. I used Bloat Freeze to freeze process named "update" (do not freeze "upgrade" by mistake !!!)
can you give a little for info iv been trying freeze this for hours reading and not finding a workable solution i need more details please
With Titanium Backup Pro you can freeze the apps "Updater 2.2.1" and "Upgrade App 2.2.1". That worked for me

I recently purchased an Optimus T and rooted it with z4root and then installed Titanium Backup to delete some of the preinstalled apps, like the Pacman Demo.
As I was removing each app, (~5 at this point) the Home button suddenly stopped working, followed by total phone death. Even after factory reset, when I was trying to access the phone, eventually I was shown a "... setup.exe stopped responding..." (or something like that) message and my phone just stayed stuck on the booting screen (android) every time I restart (w/o entering factory reset).
Does anyone have any ideas, or know which apps can prevent the phone from booting properly? A list of safe apps to delete would be helpful too. I thought I was pretty cautious with removing only non essential apps, but it seem bricked. Thanks again!

About list off apps, I have to agree. Even it there is litle problem with dependencies, some minimum describe of these issue will be great!!
So, about your problem - I think, that you will have to download original ROM and do flashing with KDZ_FW_UPdater. (search on xda for more information).
But definitely, if it's possible I would try to install custom recovery throw adb shell (android SDK tools) and do backup of system for possibility to recovery or saving at least few data, and after try wipe and install one of custom ROM.
This happened to me after I tried deleting preinstalled apps on my Optimus One... Sent it in for repairs since it just stopped working. The tech guy said he did a "software update" and everything is good as new (except for the LGMITS error once in a while)
They didn't even bother trying to fix mine. They just told me to send it in and gave me a replacement.
So I finally figured out what I did wrong - basically when I was doing the deleting, I accidentally deleted the LG Home app, which effectively deactivated my (duh) home button and effectively stopped everything from functioning properly. For some reason I thought it was just a simple link from my phone directly to the LG website, as would happen with new PCs very often. Well... won't be doing THAT again.
However, my web2go button isn't working. I have to force quit every time I try to click on it. Can I just get rid of it or will it just give me more trouble later on?
At least you knew what went wrong with yours... I was just erasing CarHome and Layar and the LG App Adviser among other things i wont be using like Twitter and Latitude.
And they even gave you a new one x__x I had to wait 5 days before everything was good as new. After the first fix, USB debugging and mass storage stopped working so I sent it in for another "software update"...
Hi, recently I got this ATT update notification on my atrix. (I'm not living in the US but my Singapore phone somehow is the ATT build xD - No don't ask me how I got it xD). Is there any way to block this update from popping out?
Thanks.
If you are rooted...
If you are rooted you can use Titanium Backup to freeze "Updater" and/or "Upgrader". I am not sure which one did the trick; I just froze both of them.
Thanks
Thanks for the info, that stupid updater was driving me nuts. I was using "Advanced task killer free" to continually clear the data that was downloaded. but anytime i turned wifi on it would pop up again. last night i was in the middle of txtn and that box popped up while i was typing & hit the install update before i could even do anything it was shutting off my phone & rebooting to install the update. luckily i was able to boot into rom manager & do a system restore to prevent the update from installing. So per your post i paid for the Titanium Backup Pro version to freeze the app to keep that from happening again. Great work!!!!
So, I recently installed an ota patch from AT&T (apparently it was supposed to make the gps more accurate or something?). Since then I noticed that my battery started draining very quickly, so I entered 'top' in a terminal and found out there was a process called 'applypatch' taking up 50% of the cpu.I can't use 'killall applypatch' because it's a root process, and apparently the update also got rid of my root.
I've already tried a factory reset, but that didn't seem to help. Also, I doubt it's still installing the patch, because I left it on all of last night and it's still going at it. The bootloader is still locked, so If possible I'd like to avoid messing with that. This is my only GSM compatible phone, and I paid a lot for it.
Should I just try rooting it again and try killing the process, or do you guys have any other ideas?
Thanks!

You are not the only one with that problem. I have the exact same issue. Process chewing up the CPU and if you kill it the process comes right back. Hopefully someone has a good answer as to how to fix it. I actually have 2 of the phones and one is rooted, second one is not. The unrooted phone does not have the same issue as the rooted phone.
I'm having the same problem with my Atrix. Phone is stock and unrooted. Never had an issue until I installed the latest update.
Well I got a response back from Motorola about the issue. These were their recommendations.
1. Reboot phone. Duh....
2. Uninstall any apps that you installed when the problem started. Uh, it was the OTA update... Cannot be uninstalled I do not think.
3. Clear Cache partition from Fastboot menu. That did not do anything.
4. Factory reset the phone. I hate doing that. Doubt it fixes anything but I will do it anyway.
I asked them about option 5 if 1-4 did nothing and he said call and talk to support.
Just an update...
Maybe someone knows how to just kill the process. It is obviously doing nothing as the phone is already updated to 4.5.145 according to the phone info.
I've just had a quick look around about the 'apply patch' process. Not that it helps you but this problem has been ongoing since at least android 1.6!!! Unfortunately solutions to the problem were few and far between - the main one would be to roll back the update you received (if you can).
Rooting and then trying to find the process and freezing the 'apply patch' process is another (again, I didn't find much about how to do that) as is unlocking the bootloader and putting installing a custom rom is another option for you. I know you don't feel comfy unlocking your bootloader but it isn't as bad as it sounds.
If you do decide to go the unlocking way then there are guides on here which will help you.
Edit: just seen this over in the 'general' section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145316 ... the very same problem you are having.
Ok, just to hopefully keep this going I have tried these additional steps.
Root phone.
Unroot phone
Re-root phone
Try multiple startup program apps to kill it, none show anything besides installed apps.
None work. applypatch still taking 49% cpu
Maybe there is a way to edit androids startup config file to make it stop? Not a Linux/android guy so hopefully someone smarter than me has the answer to that.
If you've rooted the phone, you might as well have deleted or renamed that program... That's what I would do.
Same problem with my Atrix........I've been following this thread and have found a temp fix that works for me. I say temp as the applypatch process will show up again on reboot
1.) Gain Root Access
2.) Download OS Monitor from PlayStore (this will show you all processes running on Android OS)
3.) Run OS Monitor ...."applypatch" should be at the top of the list with a high Load % (Note: Under Settings enable ROOT mode)
4.) Long press on applypatch process and select kill process and allow superuser/root access...should terminate
This has been working for me so far so I signed up to share with you all.....hope it helps.
And heres to hoping for a more permanent:good: solution to this issue
Hi all,
I just got an S5 today and it has KitKat 4.4.2. I accidentally clicked on the "Software Update" button in the "Settings>About Device" page and it started downloading Lollipop OTA. I couldn't find any way to stop the download. I have no intention of upgrading to Lollipop any time soon, so now I'm stuck with nearly 1GB of wasted space and an annoying nag to update.
I've been looking through this forum and it seems like the only ways to get rid of the nag and clear out the downloaded update require a rooted device. I prefer not to root my device so I'm wondering if there's any way to get rid of the nag and the downloaded OTA update without rooting. Do I pretty much have to do a factory reset?
If factory reset is my only route, will the OTA update just get automatically pushed back out and downloaded to my phone in a few days or weeks? If so, there wouldn't seem to be much of a point in doing a factory reset if the update will just come back. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John
You can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help/prevent-ota-root-4-4-2-t3064541
In my case, disabling "Software updater" or something similar in Application Manager stopped the auto update (you can verify by tapping on "Software update" in settings again and nothing should happen).
Thanks for taking the time to respond. The post you linked was one of the articles that I looked at previously. The suggestions in the post seemed to only be applicable to rooted devices so I wasn't really able to use them. But thanks for linking it nonetheless.
In the Application Manager, I see two "System Update" applications. One can be turned off but other can't so I guess by default that that will be the one I'll stop. When I try to turn "Software Update" off, it gives me a nasty warning about stopping a system app and causing instability. Has turning off that application caused any instability on your device?
Also, all of these suggestions deal with how to prevent the OTA from downloading, but do you know of any way to get rid of the update and free up the space once it's already downloaded? I accidentally downloaded the OTA update and I'd like to remove it and have the phone not download it again. Will I have to do a master/factory reset in order to get rid of the update?
Thanks again for your help.
That nasty warning appears every time you try to disable ANY app, not just this one, and I've disabled a bunch of default bloatwares without any side effect. So you can just go ahead and disable it. As for the downloaded update, I would suggest using a file manager to list all files in the internal storage and sort by size, it would likely be the biggest file.
Thanks for the advice, Master 619. I tried using a file manager, as you suggested, but the file is not showing up. I'm pretty sure it's because my device isn't rooted and that file is in a protected area so I can't get to it. I'm figuring that I'm just going to have to do a master reset and then disable the "System Update" application.
i have LG G4 h810 5.1 official then after i update it to marshmallow using auto updates and when i clicked on security option in settings then i get error "Unfortunately com.android.settings stopped working" i try factory reset many times but nothing happens i think that the latest update which i applied to my phone has an error inside it.
can someone help me ?
same issue here man, i had been browsing all over internet trying a lot of solutions, none of them worked i tried to root the phone, install a new firmware, i cant find the right firmware for it. is there somebody who can help us?
I'm stuck with the same issue... How to fix it...
Have you guys tried other firmware such as Lineage os or cyanogenmod?
I'm stuck with same issue... Can't install apps from unveriffied source.
I also have been on this issue of setting app crashing when I try enter "Apps" in settings and click on any app, for weeks trying to fix it, including factory reset 10 times, clearing cash and starting new account on my phone, after I noticed it on my seldom used LG G4. But now it looks like I finally fixed it a minute ago (my com.android.settings stopped crashing, at least for now.) I used free App Manager by AndroidDeveloperLB from Google Play Store. It has option... something like uninstalling updates (or rolling a selected app back to the original installation). I uninstalled the update, and app "Settings" stopped crashing. Now I am waiting to see if system will install this update again, and if it causes crashing again... then I will think what to do... If crashes again, then I guess I will have to do a research and block updates for this app somehow)
Am stuck with same problem too. Cant install apps or set a lock code for my LG G4 H810 from ATT running on Marshmallow
i have LG G4 h810 5.1 official then after i update it to marshmallow using auto updates and when i clicked on security option in settings then i get error "Unfortunately com.android.settings stopped working" i try factory reset many times but nothing happens i think that the latest update which i applied to my phone has an error inside it.

I just fixed this issue on mine, only thing I did was restore my system through twrp. I made backups of prettymuch everything while the phone was experiencing bootloop because I guess I stopped google play services with airfrozen. Seems to have that effect anyway... So before factory resetting, decided to do a backup of system and data and prettymuch all the essential things, then reset and got the problem popping up in a fresh reset phone. Strange that my original more hacked and unlocked rom seemed not to have it... I couldn't enable debugging so I had to resort to twrp to figure out what to do and took a gamble and restored the system. Wow, so shocked when it showed up normal again.
So only take away is that the problem is isolated in the system part not data. If it is something to do with google play store and maybe I rolled things back to a previous version, I have no clue. Wish I could say for sure. If you don't have twrp, get it and you'll be back up in no time in some form I'm sure..
