I'm running the Froyo Comm ROM 2.0 and I got the market update a few days ago. I don't like the new version at all. If I restore a previous version, is there any way to keep the update from getting pushed again? I never got prompted for this last update, so there wouldn't be much point to restoring an older version if it will keep getting overwritten by updates.

I can't seem to get Update All to work. I am rooted on cyanogen mod 7, running 2.3. When I click Update All most of the downloads/installs fail. and the eris is dog slow. Do I need to go back to updating one app at a time?
My Eris just hung then rebooted trying to use Update All. Oh well.
You don't say which ROM.
I had that problem with GSB, but I do not with CondemnedSoul's CM7 ROM. (Though, to be fair, GSB would eventually all update if I just kept doing it.)
How can you tell if the update to the rom was sucessful? Is there a different vesion number in the phone? Thanks
It looks different? The internal and external sd cards are switched? Myverizon app is gone? If it said in recovery that the installation is successful, it worked. If it produced an error it didn't. These are all good ways

only reason im asking is I installed .02 with no problems, but was having the rebooting when charging issue. i installed the .02-.03 patch, it said it installed sucsesfully but i was still having the same issue. I'm on .04 now and i am liking it, but i hear a new patch will be released today and wanted to make sure it was actually updated.
Alright well as long as there was no error during the flash its all set. It shouldn't matter if he releases a full rom and not a patch. A full rom can be flashed over anything with the same base, the patches need to be flashed over the correct version.

I had flashed .4 directly over .3 with a couple of wipes in-between and had no issues with the transition. however the rom was a bit slower than .3 imho. i am def going to try to flash to his next version when it comes available since he has mentioned it being a big step forward.
Does anybody know a way to disable OTA updates on Thunderbolt? I have a rooted phone, and don't want to deal with updating for now. My problem is the OTA updates cause the phone to reboot, the update fails and then I have to reboot into recovery, clear the caches, reboot again. It's a pain, and it seems to be happening at least once a day now.
Any hacks out there I can apply to disable the OTA updates?

If you have Titaniumbackup Pro then just freeze the update/updater apk. If not, I would suggest getting it, it is well worth the cost.
Great suggestion. I have TiBu Pro and have frozen the two Update apps I found in the list along with "VZW Package Installer 1.0" and "Field Test 2.1-update1" and "Field Trial 2.2.1", having done the last three just now. It did try to do yet another update a few hours ago, so we'll have to see if the last three do the trick.
Anybody got any other suggestions for Apps I should freeze to prevent OTA updates?
Update: None of the items I've frozen seems to have made a difference. Still looking for other ideas.
I'm thinking it was DM.apk or something similiar that controlled ota updates. I don't have a stock rom running atm so i can't be sure. When you find the correct one you won't be able to get to the update phone screen from settings any longer. Wish i could be more help but i just can't remember.

I was having that same problem and I just broke down and applied the update. I used clockwork rom manager and a rooted/deodexed update file that I found on the forums (linked from androidpolice, i think). Flashed the update, without wiping the current setup, then flashed the radio from the bootloader. Worked like a charm. I've got the update, it's not searching for more, and it reinstalled all the bloatware that I deleted instead of freezing when I got the phone. I went back through and freezed all the bloat junk, and my TB is running better than ever. Oh, and I'm just running a rooted stock rom.
I too suffered the same problem. I just ended up installing a custom rom to get rid of it for good. Best decision I ever made, I really like the Synergy build.
I'm wanting to install [ROM][AOSP]LiquidSmooth-ICS-v1.5-MR3[10/02/2012] But I can't get it or any other rom to install. I'm running ota ics with root and all that good stuff. I don't know all that much about the thunderbolt because I'm always had Motorola and my nexus 7. When I try it just doesn't do anything. Fails. I have been trying for months but have taken a long break from it due to just giving up. But now my phone is trying to push a 20 Mb update that just makes my phone not boot because of my recovery.
which recovery are you running as its known 4ext has issues with ota ICS. also did you check the md5 to make sure they match. it sounds like its not downloading right and your download is getting corrupted.

The problem is that you downloaded the second update that Verizon pushed out. It wasnt very big since it only patched some apps to update them, updated the cdma radio and fixed an hac audio issue people were having problems with. I doubt it will work but try flashing santods ota killer v2 and then clear caches in recovery.

I'm really more worried about installing that liquid smooth rom rather than the annoying update. I just defer it everyday. I have downloaded it SEVERAL SEVERAL times and it always does the same thing. I tried again last night and It made me remember what exactly happens. It does install and boot but I can't get signal at all and then the whole rom just stops working. Doesn't let me do anything. The whole updating applications or something.
When I last rooted and ROM'd my GN2 it was shortly after the first OTA. I haven't touched it since then since it's been a great phone for me. I have been unhappy now for about a month with the performance and other issues. I have an issue that's requiring me to factory reset and since I will be basically losing everything anyway I want to update to the newest ROM.
Here's where I am now:
Android Version 4.1.1
Baseband Version I605VRALL4
Kernel Version 3.0.31-414933 [email protected] #1
Build Number JRO03C.I605VRALJB
Hardware Version I605.06
This is where I want to be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765021
I have the files downloaded and on my SDcard. I have the 4.3 MJ9 firmware ready to be flashed in Odin. But the post says I would only need that if I am coming from 4.1.2 (which I am not) so would that even be needed?
I can't seem to recall how can I tell if my bootloader is unlocked? I used the CASUAL root method originally. I have never had an issue with Root function so I know I am rooted still.
I have the PhilZ/CWM installed as my recovery.
I have a current backup to my sdcard.
Should I just flash as the thread says?
Thanks in advance and I've been at this for 5 hours now and in searching the forums for information about updating from 4.1.1 and there has been none. I've seen the "no posts found" page so many times I could throw my computer! haha!
Hey there,
Yeah you should have an unlocked bootloader since I used casual as well. Flash with Odin the firmware, they mention 4.1.2 because they assume everyone is already on that. You basically need the 4.3 firmware for all the new roms to ensure WiFi works specifically I believe while radios will still work.
So once you Odin you can flash the tw 4.4.2 ROM and expect it all to work. If you have been wanting to try stock aosp 4.4.4 now is a good time, they have gotten very stable since our phone has official cyanogen support.
Good luck
Yeah I followed a post from the thread that was a long process. I flashed 4.1.2 stock. Re-casual rooted. Then flashed 4.3 and the firmware. Then did the 4.4.2 radio and such. It was like a 4 hour process.

Well I had good luck yesterday but now seem to be having issues. And I can't screen shot so I don't know what to do.

Can you describe your issues the best you can?

When I plug in a headset or take out the S pen I get a consistent message about Pagebuddy closing. It won't stop popping up until I put the pen back or unplug the headset. I disabled pagebuddy in the settings hoping that would stop it. I cleared the cache and data from the app and also went into recovery and wiped cache. It was working fine for the first day. Then just started erroring.
Sounds like you have an app installed that's not playing nice. I would use Titanium Backup and freeze all user apps, then unfreeze one at a time to find the culprit

Today it stopped doing it. No messages for a headset plugged in or S-pen removed. I don't know what happened.
