Don't want to take next week's ICS OTA - HTC Rezound

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..

just dont do the update it will ask before it downloads

even if you cancel the ota, the problem is that in every couple hours, the ota pops up again for install.

This and when the January one came around I clicked don't install several times and then when I had to reboot at one point it did it on it's own. I was annoyed.

Just delete the ota files I will list em for ya do you have titanium back up just batch uninstall these...

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.

Looks like your advice works...
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
HTC OTA titles. Didn't seem to mess anything else up.
Easy solution - Thanks.....

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

OTA getting closer *proof*

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.

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.

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?

[Q] New Android Market

untill it starts to be in all the roms, any way to flash this?
i have the apk, tried to do it through App Installer
gonna try adb next
a few people are having problems with getting it to work on cyanogen based roms
I assume, though I could be totally wrong, that there will be no need to flash this or install it. Your market will just show up looking like that someday. In engadget's post about it, they mention "Google's pushing the update to every Android 1.6-and-above device over the next couple of weeks".
im not sure when ill add it ,, looks like some people are haven issues with apps ,, also not sure if i like the fact that if u pay for a app u only have 15 minutes to ask for a refund ,, what if the app works fine , then later on it doesnt work right? i guess u bought a bad app lol i dunno not sure if i like that
As far as I can tell, it's all just a new interface, plus, they changed things like only having 15mins now to get a refund instead of the 24hrs... which is kind of retarded.
The new market is working fine, all apps dloaded with it stick after reboot. If you're using this on a 2.1 rom, delete the Vendor.odex file in system/app if your rom isn't deodex'd already.
if you're on a CM rom, just rename the .apk to Vendor.apk (if it's named something else) and put it in system/app using adb or a file manager.
I attached it already renamed if anyone wants it...
So this is not a pushed update as engadget stated? How are all the other non-rooted android users gonna get it?

I'm not sure exactly, my guess would be through your google account, since it isn't a carrier specific update...
anyone know the answer to this?
I can make a flashable zip for those interested... even though all of you should be able to use adb or a file manager and place it in system/app by now
A flashable zip would be great. How did the market get the new "similar" and "related" tabs? I assumed this update would be pushed the same way. Btw, where are you getting the file to even make a flashable zip? Is it in the Android SDK or something?

Any ideas I installed the new market wiped, cleared data and all I can do is open the market up. As soon as I select an app it force closes on me.

This zip works great for me so far. Though I dont like the new market. The tabs made it easier to flip between things and the rotating apps at the top is slow on a slow phone. It looks like they tried to make it look nicer (and failed in my opinion) but ended up making it less functional.
Google apps always look simple and sophisticated. This Market overhaul looks overdone and tacky with too much "pizzaz".

Yeah, that shocked me. 15 minutes isn't much time to make sure an app works fine for your purposes. For apps that have free/trial versions, then you can check those out first, but what if it's the paid options that don't sufficiently work. I think one or two hours is reasonable, but 15 minutes is ridiculous.
I think ROMs should keep the current version of the market and people can use flashable zips to go to the new version if they want.

[Q] How can we avoid the new market?

I'm not certain how many on here have used the new market, but i find it HORRENDOUS!
I plan on moving an old version of Vending.apk to system/app to replace it.
My concern is the market will automatically update. Can anyone comment who has tried this already? Is there any way to avoid it updating, or can the ROM developers prevent this in their custom ROMs?
I really have no clue why developers are using it.... its just SO bad. This is the first time I have been disappointed with Googles direction with Android.
how did it automatically update?? OTA???

actually the MARKET does auto-update itself. how do i know? because i received the new market without any mods to the market the night people started to report the update. plus theres a 1st party apk called MARKET UPDATER.
100% sure this will work. go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/make sure the filter is set to ALL and scroll down to MARKET... click it and hit UNINSTALL UPDATES. this method worked when i received the the SIMILAR tab update,but im not sure if itll completely remove the NEW revamped market.

Well, the Market DOES AUTO-Update, even if you Uninstall Updates.... that's the problem.
I suppose I will move an old Market and replace the current one in system/app... but I imagine that if I freeze (titanium backup) the Market Updater app that may lead to problems? I don't think that app can be removed and not cause FC's... I would love to know that is incorrect.
If that is the case, I imagine it would be easy to avoid the new market. Anyone else hate this new updated market and tried this yet?

i just tried the "uninstall updates" method and i will let you know how long it takes for my phone to update back to the new market
it does auto update and installs in data/app not system/app
Check the cache for the update apks. I all ready have two in my cache.
I thought I may get used to the UI.... I am not. Still FUGLY and not intuitive.
Has anyone tried
1. Uninstalling the update with data & wifi off
2. Using a shell and changing the permissions of the Market.apk to read only?
Anyone had success with this?
Uninstalling the update does nothing for me now.

Download the axura rom. Extract go to system apps then get the vending app and put it on ur current rom for some reason... Axura s market doesn't work like others it never updates.
I used it for 2 weeks and it never updated. Try that but save your current vending in case out doesn't work.

can you just post the market.apk here? downloading an entire ROM just for one app sounds really unappetizing haha
outside of the above suggestion,I have personally tried every method you could possibly think of to permanently revert back to an old market, but this btch is quite relentless. I may create a Nandroid backup and uninstall the Market Updater....just to see what happens.
^ yeah, I have given up hope and now just hope Google can make another "improvement" to the market. It needs to change... I was LOVING the now older version with "Related" added, but the new UI and 15 minute policy just sucks (for me anyway).

Interesting....have not got this yet
In addition to sending many Premier customers their preordered HTC EVO 3Ds yesterday, Sprint began rolling out a new software update (version 1.13.651.7) to fix a force close issue in the calendar.
Unfortunately, as is often the case with OTA updates, the new build fixes one thing but breaks a few other things. In this case, the phone app is removed from the Sense 3.0 lock screen launcher and pick list, certain app icons get replaced by "generic green robots," and the sync icon won't get out of the taskbar (even when the phone isn't syncing).

Just add the HTC Watch widget to a homescreen and launch the green hornet from there. If that doesn't work (although it should) then check in themes and apps section for the Watch update without the full OTA.

AT&T Software Update Message on my GS2

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.

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.

I froze this one: "Device management 2.0". No more nags about the update after that.

I meant the filename of the dowloaded update.

No need to know the filename of the downloaded update. Simply clear the data on 'Device management' app will do.

Thank you. I've been looking for a way to stop the forced update reminders for a while.
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.
