Ok... I've searched and not found any threads on this, so if it's been asked already, point me in the right direction...
I rooted and did the sideloading hack. Does anyone know if this is going to prevent the OTA of GB when it finally comes out?
TIA.

As with any update, no one knows for sure since it hasn't happened yet and things could change... but I believe you should be fine if that's all you did. If you froze or deleted any system apps or bloatware you'd have to unfreeze/restore them.
Nope, just rooted and enabled side-loading... after the fiasco with my Backflip, I wasn't going to push my luck again. LOL
I would still flash back to stock before updating. Much cleaner.

Help.
I have a rooted Thunderbolt and I have been able to reject the update from Verizon until this afternoon when my phone started to update on its own. The update didn't go through and I got an error icon. Now my phone just goes through the same cycle of turning it self off and trying to update and crashing.
I am able to get to the Clockwork Mod recovery page but the only option that works is the 'reboot system now', which starts the phone and the whole cycle of trying to update is started.
Does anyone have an idea of how to get my phone working again?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
I'm really sorry to hear that happened, I'm not sure what you can do. Hopefully someone will be able to help you out. But at least I can tell you that you are not alone! I wasn't rooted, but my phone did autoupdate on its own at about 2:30pm today.
I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234844
Pull your SDcard, wipe the pg05img.zip file, and try again. You might have to reflash clockwork.
This is the problem with running rooted stock ROMs. I know flashing a new ROM isn't what a noob wants to do, but it will avoid these very confusing headaches.
whats if you rooted using revolutionary? As far as i know there wont be that pg05img.zip file to delete.
Would you always be in danger is this if you are rooted and stay stock?
Why would someone want to root their phone and stay stock ??????

Nope. One only has to keep up with the current releases, rooted versions of which come out within days of official release.
Are you sure it is the Verizon update?
I have the same behavior on my T-bolt since about 10 pst today. However, just before the phone shuts down to reboot, I see a note about a new version of Clockworkmod Recovery 4.0.1.5.
So I have been working on the assumption that it is CWM Recovery that is doing an automatic update.
I also am running rooted stock, and have not updated to latest release.
OK, it isn't the update to CWM Recovery that is the problem; it is the Verizon OTA update, which they have figured out how to force on us. I fixed my phone using the solution given by Mike later in this thread.

Debloating. Stock is pretty damn nice without all the extra crap.

This, plus "root while you can" - there's no guarantee that rooting will be possible with each subsequent (unrooted) release, but you can root now and stay rooted to keep your options open. Also, getting full backups of everything is easier when rooted.
Did the fix work?
Mike, did you try what loonatik suggested? Did it work? Waiting breathlessly...
Unless I am misunderstanding the problem wiping cache from Clockwork recovery should clear out the update and it will quit trying to install it. For the future if you go to settings in the about phone or software update section (dont remeber which) there is an option to de-select scheduled update checks.

Wait.. what? Most ROMs I've seen are debloated.. At the very least they have VZW crap removed
Thanks guys for all your help and interest. I tried the solution offered by lunatic but it did not work. Thanks any way I was still looping through continuous on and off cycle. I did however did find a solution on another site. Here is the solution from Sele.
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thundebolt-hacking-guides/2257-rs-guide-how-get-rid-ota-forced-reboots-rooted-phone.html
It was easier fix than I thought it would be. Step #1 worked.
I also did this to stop the update from happening again.
"If you are rooted use root explorer or super manager and set system to R/W. Then navigate to /system/etc/security. Find the file named otacerts.zip and rename it to otacerts.zip.bak and reboot. Should fix you up."
I'm sorry I can't remember who offered this solution to give credit to. I haven't had any updates yet but only time will tell.
Good Luck with your phone.

Definitely a handy resource.. Every time a new OTA comes out, this is a very frequently asked question.
I suppose you could always use an RUU too

Based on how many of these threads I see, that clearly isn't what's being done.
I dont want to update to the newest firmware on my sgs2, and i accidently checked for a new update. Now i have to keep postponing it. Is there any way to completely stop the service?
P.s. sorry i have been asking so many questions on this forum. i guess thats just what happens when i get a new phone

Root, install custom Rom, uninstall device management via TiBu, done!
Probably not the answer your looking for but its one way around it
Cant u just root and delete device management with tibu without having to actually flash new firmware?
Edit: freezing device management with tibu should work just as well

You only allowed to postpone 3 times (for 8 hours options).
Just to bypass the annoyance for now, just go into Application/Running Apps, force stop it. Also in Application/All, clear cache and clear data.
thanks for all the help, guys. i just deleted using TiBu
found an answer

I finally figured this out on my ss g3 with ICS. did not want the jellybean update. Went to applications>all>software update and deleted data. the notification went away. plus set the update to only when wifi is available. but i guess it will come back once it downloads the update again.

I know this is an old thread but my friend was getting this annoying update and asked for my help.I came across this thread and asked her to get titanium back up and uninstall it but there doesn't seem to be "device management" in the list of apps when she goes under uninstall system and user apps on her samsung S3.So if anyone could tell me what exactly is the name of the app so she can uninstall it and get rid of that annoying notification.Thank you.
edit: never mind hers was an at&t branded s3 so it was named "at&t software update v4".
Hi, my rooted nook updated to 1.43 today so now i can't play dead space.apk anymore. .______________.

I ended up Factory reseting, Installing the root again, Finding all my apps again after making a list of the software versions and all, Then Blocking OTA. Worked like a charm but im still at 1.43
For Canada, JB is pushed via OTA today on Rogers.
Update # 9.8.2.124.18
I am looking for sbf or fastboot files for xt910 Rogers Razr if someone has found it please post it.
Thanks
Fido
Fido would be appreciated as well.
cannot see it yet.
I just switched back from CM10 to base rogers and I cannot see the system Update (yet).
If someone else finds it please post, I will keep looking for it and post the OTA file once I see it if no one else has.
Thanks for the heads up.
now all we need is root on a windows computer.
:laugh:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
a list of all fastboots. you can see 2 rogers there, 1 is ICS, 1 is GB. i forgot which is which tbh lol...
but im having trouble too with the OTA. kept failing on me, and if i manually update it using safestrap3.11 it just fails on verifying phone build.
i defrosted all bloatwares, cleaned cache and dalvik, nothing helps. i really dont want to factory reset just yet, or even trying fastboot since im too lazy to set it up again, but at this point, that seems to be the only solution.
anybody got any ideas?

Hi Red...
Do you have the OTA file? Can you share it?
You may have to fast boot the ics, then root, then voodoo, then upgrade.
Remember you cannot go back to ICS once you upgrade with OTA, and so far root in JB only works from a Linux machine for our xt910's

i got frustrated and caved in. i just fastboot the JB image. check out the sticky in dev forum. works fine. no roots is ok for now, coz all im missing is TiBu and my saved games lol everything else is backed up by Google.
there's an OTA in one of the thread in General forum. it's titled Fido, but somebody on page 2 posted the Rogers OTA files.
but yes, now that i think about it, i should fastboot ICS, root, voodoo, and upgrade. oh well. :fingers-crossed:
I got the update notification but it failed so I tried unrooting

I got the update notification but it failed updating so I tried unrooting my phone and using :
6.7.2-180_SLC-35_R02_SIGNLATAM_SPYDERICSROGERS_P012_A012_HWp2b_CFC_fastboot.xml
I am a noob and I don't really know what I am doing. I finally got that XML to work
but now when I check for updates it doesn't say there are any updates anymore
any ideas? Is the update stored on the phone even if it fails?
Today I received an OTA update to 10e. I will see how it goes today and report back with any findings.
It may just be my imagination but the phone seems to run hotter on 10e

Battery life seems to be pretty good. I went all day without charging and that's with heavy use. I do have cpu tuner installed and running though.
all these updates still coming,I think 4.4 won't be far ,at least I'm hoping for 4.2
are these MetroPCS roms usable on T-Mobile with wifi calling? also does anyone know if this fixes roaming that's been broken since jellybean came out?

as far as i can tell besides google drive and a few extra apps and removing root, wasn't much.. speaking of root, i was P'O'd and just flashed to v10b on the hunt for the almighty bootloader unlock.. on v20b now, irrelevant.. has anyone tried rooting after a factory reset? i've seen mixed posts of having root once updated.. i used cydia impactor to root on v10d.. after update root was gone, tried running it again but it kicked up errors.. su could not be found.. i'm waiting another 30 minutes before reverting to stock for the time being.. i'm willing to test it if no one else has but it won't be for a few days.. honestly tired of messin with it for now..
I just got this phone today and it automatically updated to the 10e version. I didn't even have the opportunity to root it at all. I've heard that cydia was the best way to root it,, do you think that would still work? Also, which is the best guy to use to unlock my boot loader with 10e and it being MetroPCS..any suggesitons? I've been reading but would like some useful opinions if thats okay.
Okay, so I finally got the update today. I was on the stock v10d, and rooted. I opened Titanium and unfroze all of the junk I had disabled. Then I told it to go ahead and apply the update. It rebooted and started to update, and I got the fallen down android with exclamation point. Hold power and restart. Boots back into my v10d, except now I somehow have the inverted touch screen again. What? I mean, I know can fix the touch screen easy enough, but what gives? Don't know why the update fails, and I especially don't know why I get the inverted touch. Any insight here?

I think you still have the euro recovery installed, that's why you got the wonky screen. The boot or recovery images will cause the funk.
The update will fail because you have the 2nd init cwm or because you have made changes to the system apk file.
I have a cwm backup of 10e plus the radio files. I know the 10e is in my thread themed lgms769 ROM.
I'm not to sure where I uploaded the 10e radio. Lol I just remembered it's in my themed ROM thread as well. It's not in the first post, look around the end of the thread for the files.
