Hello,
I have a rooted NT on 1.4.1 and this morning it seems the the OTA block did not function because it upgraded to 1.4.2 on it own.
It doens't seem to have affected the root so far, but I haven't explored everthing.
When I click on the NT Hidden settings OTA block i have a message stating :
Missing /system/bin/su
What can I do to block any further ota upgrades. When I rooted I am preety sure that I had made sure that OTA were blocked...
Thanks.
Nathalie
same here
I also looked at my rooted tablet today and it said the 1.4.2 OTA installed.
I had rooted from 1.4.1 using the SD card method.
I had run the OTA blocker but still got 1.4.2
It did not appear to break the root but I had limited time to check things.
Hoping to hear others comments on this issue.
And looking for a OTA block that works.
I tried titanium back-up block at one time but had issues, might just try it again.
This is bummer news. I was hoping I was done with the B&N BS.
install cm7 if you can. It works nice and unlocks the mic

You can root 1.4.2 with any "Root Card" method.

I'm sticking with a rooted 1.4.0 for now. The issue is that I've read the B&N stock apps don't work on CM7. You could download the B&N app from the Market but it doens't have the same functionallity. Some who subscribe to magazines have reported they can't view their subscriptions on the B&N Market app. It seems to be an issue that depends on the magazine as some are OK and some aren't.

None of my magazines are accessible through any B&N Market app (Time, SI, GQ, etc.), but I thought rooting still allows you to access all the vanilla B&N content in addition to Market apps?
EDIT: Whoops, missed the part about CM7. Yes, a different ROM doesn't access the B&N stock apps, as I understand it.
So what should i do because, it seems that i have lost android market, it is asking for a new account. And the email and talk do not work either...
I am kinda lost here because i do not want to brick my NT...
Any suggestions?

The OTA has removed your root access. Which in turn means you can no longer use the packages installed after the root process. Basically refer back to GabrialDestruir's post where he said the 'root card' methods should still work fine. Your best bet IMO is to either install internally, or use an sdcard version of CWM recovery and if you want stock, download and install one of the stock flashable roms in the development section. Else install CM7. Or stay on 1.4.2, your call.

I'm running 1.4.2 and it's all nicely rooted, you just have to used a "Root Card" aka a card which by whatever means adds all sorts of root glory to your device. There are like two or three of these that actually exist for the Nook Tablet, choose one burn the sdcard and follow the instructions and you get a functioning stock root device.

I am trying to get mine to update to 1.4.2, so I can get the fixes from 1.4.1 mainly...and plan to use a root card after the update. But I cannot get mine to update after having done the OTA block. I manually downloaded the update and dropped it in the root of my nt, and its been hours and it hasent applies any update and still says version 9.9.9

So GabrialDestruir, I initially used Albert Wertz root method using an sd card.
Should I re-root my NT using the same method as it is right now or should I un-root it prior rooting it again.
It's not that clear for me yet how I should proceed.
Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, if your version says 9.9.9, it won't update.

Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
does this work on 1.4.2?
i forgot to block OTA when i was at 1.4.1 and it automatically updated to 1.4.2 now...
Rooted, but constantly getting the system update (already downloaded) notifications .
Methods I found from search and did not work:
- Renamed and moved otacerts.zip.
- Deleted the ota update from Cache
Have not yet attempted:
- Accept the update, which will supposedly fail due to the missing files, thus stopping the update, and the notification.
Before I resort to making that leap, what did you guys do to stop it?
Thanks a bunch!

Wish I had know about that, mistakenly updated to 10g and lost root
Here's my dilemma. I had been getting tired of the notification. So I let it do it's thing. Upon reboot it gave me the Triangle Android boot screen. Nothing was installed. After a battery pull it started up fine. Now I don't have a recovery. I had CWM installed with the old Prada apk. I tried using the install again. Reboot to recovery just reboots phone. Any advice?
Getting frustrated with the ota 10g popping up. I am rooted and have voodoo root keeper. Update wont go through. Freezes with red triangle. Tried unrooting with voodoo and disabling su. Nothing seems to work. Anybody know how I can get this to either update or disable 10g notifications? I have titanium but not sure what to freeze.

All I had to do was watch it fail once and then the notification went away, but I have heard that if that does not stop the stupid update notices you can go into /cache and find the 28 or so mb file for the update (it has a fairly distinctive name), copy the filename, delete the file, and create an empty file, then paste that name you copied from the real update as the name for the blank file. Then, when your favorite little notification pops up, press install now and watch the red triange pop up. Now, just hold power button until it powers off, then turn it on, and alakazam, no more update irritation. Also, one reason the update sometimes doesn't go through is if you have deleted any of T-Mobile's bloatware. If you do want the update to install, your best hope for restoring the bloatware is in this thread HERE. Good Luck!
While I can't vouch for anything else besides the P675 10e Tmobile version, the following method will stop the update prompts. It *should* work on all ICS and JB devices, including Nexus.
0. Root, if you haven't already.
1. Download AutoRun Manager
2. In ARM, choose "Advanced"
3. Touch the wrench icon, and check
- Show System Entries
- Enable System Application Disable
4. Back on the application list, tap the refresh (circle arrow) icon if you don't see system apps. They should have a red background.
5. Find the app Google System Framework (aka: GSF) and tap it.
6. Uncheck the "com.google.<something>.gsf.update.SystemUpdate" receivers. I can't read my own handwriting at the moment, but they both end in SystemUpdate.
And there you go. I've been update free for at least 18 hours, and it's persisted through reboots. The receivers have yet to start back up.
Most ICS and JB devices should receive update notifications via the Google Services Framework, not the manufacturer's update applications. The manufacturer might have their own update procedures/apps/scripts once the update is downloaded and ready to install, but the notifications should all be handled by the GSF.
Personally, I tried freezing and even deleting all LGE update related apps (omadmclient [or whatever it's called], fota [several variants], and more), deleting the downloaded update, deleting the SSL certs, and even using a pm command in a shell script that ran every 5 minutes to kill all LGE update related modules. Nada. The only thing that worked was the above method.
I've also heard -- what DatNexus mentioned -- accepting the udpate then hard rebooting works, too. But it's not as universal (my Nexus 7 still kept prompting me, for example) and there's always a chance that accepting an update later on will brick or otherwise damage the file system rather than just fail outright.

Ours didnt say "update" just lgfota.permission.

Whoa! So far, so good. I did what you said on my E4GT ( the receivers were named slightly differently, but it was obvious enough). I've tried dozens of "fixes" with no luck, this one just might hold. (crosses fingers).

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 and I'm trying to decide whether I want to root or not. I've never rooted a phone before but I have found detailed instructions on how to do it which seem pretty simple. Really, the only reason I want to root is to A)take off the ridiculous stock apps I never use, and B)so I can download the app gameCIH for a game I play all the time. Is it worth doing just for those reasons? I've heard that once you root you can't get the automatic updates from your provider any more when they update to a new operating system. How would I upgrade if that's the case? Can I still download apps from the Google Play store if I'm rooted? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really new to this. Thank you for your help!

Good question, I rooted mine to enjoy the Titanum backup adblocker for all those free apps and others like you mentioned, however, you're right, the OTA would failed!! I always disabled the OTA update using root, make a full back up of my all my download apps, export my contacts or backup to cloud. Once a new firmware released, I just Odin the new firmware, re-root then do a batch restore of all my download apps with data. Another thing to consider is that the new firmware may block the root patch so you may have to wait until a root method is available for the new firmware before you take action.
Another option is uninstall root (there is an option in SuperSu to do this), then take the OTA update. If some how it failed you can alway revert back to the Odin method. I found that your phone probably will run better when you Odin the full firmware than to take the OTA upgrade.
I found a useful trick to keep the ota from showing up, if you enter ##3328873 in tge dialer pad and enter 000000 for the service code you then can uncheck the ota-dm mode this should prevent any ota
Alternatively, you can simply freeze the System Updates process via Titanium Backup, as discussed in the Bloatware thread.
What OTA ?

Thanks for the information. Verizon began pushing an OTA to my LG G3 today. It was very annoying, thanks again!
Thank you, but it seems I'm too late.
Now, event though I've unchecked it, I keep getting a menu to do an update. I keep pressing back to get out of the update now or schedule an update later, but I can't seem to get it to go away, Gonna try the titanium update freeze of the updater.
Disabling the System Updates apk also works.

Alternatively you can do what OP said since its easier and requires no third party apps or root. But hey, cool story bro.
Thank you. This method works. I tried the other two and they didn't work. The "hidden menu" version came up with a different menu than in the description and TiBU didn't stop the notifications (for me). First I tried moving the update files to a new directory I created, but the update message had already been triggered.
If you pull down the notifications and long-press on the OTA, you can disable the app and remove the icon from the screen.

At first I thought this worked, but it ended up not working. As you can see in the image below, I have the ota-dm unchecked, which worked for a while, but today the system update dialog/notification came back.

Use Rom toolbox pro to freeze the 2 ota apps, titanium is junk.
Afterwards, delete any files in root/cache/fota.

If you've already got root...which most people who are trying to stop OTAs have because they're wanting to keep root...why would you not simply freeze the process while you're going about the task of freezing all the bloat from Verizon? To me, that's easier as it allows a single action to restore everything back to stock settings (plus root and Bump) instead of having to use multiple methods to get back to such a state. But to each their own. I understand that some people like having their mobile OS weighed down from carrier installed garbage. Regardless, what kind of person knocks someone else for daring to add to the discussion with another method that, for many (especially those eventually wanting to flash ROMS), streamlines everything?
What are the exact names of the OTA apks? I looked in system/app and system/priv-apps.. Nothing really reads as system Ota or Ota something. Maybe I missed it. I would like to rename them manually.
Edit: is it LGFOTA.apk and its odex file?
Edit: ok thats not it update popped up after reboot. I now think its LGDMSClient.apk

i have read in the chinese forums that this version is supposed to be the one that can retain user data when upgrading from EMUI 2.3, however problems seem to exist after flashing (dark screen when camera is launched, the pull down notification menu stopping midway etc) and Huawei ended up suggesting wiping system / user data to solve them, kinda defeats the purpose. anyway, ymmv.
BTW, does anyone know how to get rid of the update prompt? It keeps nagging me to update.
In going from R001C233B021 to R002C208B009 on the 7D-501u with the OTA update, will it change the dpi from 320 to 400? If so, I'm not upgrading.

you can manually change at will the dpi after updating, by modifiyng buildprop if rooted. Or with adb commands if non rooted.

As far as I can tell from the other threads, changing the dpi to 320 breaks other stuff. Also some of my apps won't
work with root or with root cloak. There's no way I'm doing an upgrade that I know will break stuff rather than fix stuff, just for a slightly newer version of Android. My battery icon is already white anyway.

It Is same android version like 320 dpi kitkat!
I am in China but checking for updates tells me there is no update (I'm on 2.2). So perhaps this is still not the build intended for general release.
OK, it is now showing as available as an OTA today BUT trying to download it always ends in failure. Perhaps loads of other people are trying to download it at the same time....
Just download it from the EMUI page.
I waited for the OTA, hoping that it would not wipe the device (unlike the emui page download version?).
After taking 8 hours to download, it finally tells me it will wipe my personal data. What kind of stupid upgrade is this? No other brand of Android phone I have ever owned has wiped data on upgrading from one version to another. Very disappointing. Huawei, you must do better than this if you expect people to buy your phones more than once.
It did not wipe mine.
I just installed it, and wished I hadn't. ALL paid for apps were wiped. Other apps were also deleted. I can no longer connect to Google services (Play store, Gmail, etc). What a pile of rubbish. An OTA update shouldn't do this kind of thing. This is my first, and last, Huawei phone. Nice hardware, shame about the software.
