I'm rooted. how to disable OTA update? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Ok, so i just rooted my sprint gs3, I'm not sure but i think that the sprint OTA update should be disabled. Or is that just if i have a custom ROM? If I need to disable OTA how do i do it?
FYI:I used the GS3 toolkit to root and selected Option 3, which is "everything at once" option. if that makes a difference
I don't want sprint to screw up my mojo.
Thanks

You can use Titanium Backup to freeze the updater app. I have an AT&T phone and the updater was called AT&T Software update or something similiar. You can probably find one called TMobile software updater or similar and freeze it. I could easily tell I froze the right file when I had the update notification in the notification bar at the top, as once I froze the right app the notification disappeared.

I just froze "sprint Installer" in titanium. Will that not work? Or is it better to rename the file as you just said? das7982
I unfroze "sprint installer" and instead renamed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Thanks for the advice. Will this only affect the sprint ROM?

I remember reading some where that doing this to block ota actually makes it worse because disabling/renaming that file makes the phone continually download the update and not be able to install it. Draining ur battery in the process. I could be wrong but I would look into it more.

What's the update app called for the Verizon Model, id like to freeze it as well

If that's not the right way to do it, then what is?

I'm not saying ur wrong relax. I would like to know this too.
We have to edit text in the build prop. Once the ota drops we can compare the build props and using the text editor in root explorer we can change ours to the new one to trick the phone into thinking it has the new ota.

It wasn't my idea, it really doesn't matter to me who's right, i just want to know who's right, so i can do the right thing on my phone. Maybe they're both right, maybe they're both wrong. Just trying to verify. One says to disable sprint update, the other says to rename the OTA file. My thought was that renaming the OTA file might be better because it's deeper in the system files. Ether way, they were'nt my original ideas.

New market app updating

I was updated to the new market yesterday and today saw that Titanium had an update. Clicking on it opens screen that only allows for the app to be opened or uninstalled. I don't see any option to update.
How do we update with the new market?
Thanks,
SF

I had the same problem when my market auto upgraded. I think what happens is that the market account gets screwed up and it doesn't allow you to update some things. Its fixable - you have to reregister your phone with the market. The bad news is the only way I could figure to do this was to clean wipe and start over. I suppose you could factory reset to. I bet there's an easier route - but I haven't found it.

This worked for me! Thanks guys for the clarification on setting permissions.
I thought I had this issue fixed, but it has resurfaced. I have the market telling me there is now an update for Handcent SMS, however it doesn't give me the option to update! I can only open or uninstall.
I tried the fix starflorida posted multiple times, but it just isn't doing the trick. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Any suggestions or feedback?
There is a new version of the market rolling out today. Try clearing data and restarting market and see if that helps?

I was hoping to avoid that, just so i don't have to re-enter all of my info. But, if I can't get it straightened out, I'll give that a go.
I now have 2 apps sitting there waiting for an update that I can't complete: Handcent & Unlock with Wifi. If I click the app individually, I only get the choices of opening or uninstalling. However, if I click the button that says "Update 2", it looks like it will work! I don't get it.
Edit: I am currently getting the "Low on Space" message from my phone (I prefer not to put my apps on the SD card, if possible). Could this be the reason why I can't update my apps?
Clearing the market data seems to have worked as a temporary fix. It is no longer showing that I need to update any of my apps. However, I did not receive the latest market version. It is still the same version I had prior to clearing data, version 3.0.27
It will, when you least expect it! You can download an apk from Android central if you don't want to wait...

CD-ROM.ISO Location

I have located the cursed CD-ROM.iso file that helps trigger the autoload and prompt for Verizon Media Manager; it's in \system\etc.
Unfortunately, an attempt to rename it didn't survive reboot from temproot to normal; the directory repopulated. Perhaps someone else can figure out a away to kill or freeze it (I don't think Titanium will freeze anything that isn't an application).
maybe Scott's CleanTool?
yeah deleting it through root explorer just forced my phone to reboot

I wish it were that easy, but see from his own thread this post. Reboot restores the file (I just noticed that myself after experimenting with it.)
I don't think anything written to \system (and probably any other root directory) survives reboot after temporary root.
Turn off autorun on your pc. You should because it helps protect against viruses.
The ISO itself is not the try problem. Its whatever app mounts the ISO.
Can't you disable Auto-Run on just that drive?

But the point is there is a rouge app out there that forces that ISO to mount. I want to find that app and kill it.

I don't think there is much you can do but disable auto run on your PC. At least you won't get that annoying pop up. Con247 mentioned it earlier in this thread.

Privacy protection for your DX2!

What is it? Okay, well kenjesse put it best with this description : " Pdroid is an app that lets you modify permissions app by app with out breaking them. You also have the option of "spoofing" the permissions by sending randomly generate data rather than your phones actual sim, meid, phone #, etc.
As the app does not need to run constantly in the back ground it has virtually no impact on battery.
To check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19570074
On the next page of this thread I have posted the patch zip necessary to install the pdroid app on CM7 for DX2 only!!! I will make patch zips for other roms upon request but it can be done easily by following kenjesse's instructions below. After flashing the zip just download and install pdroid from the play store ......viola! Thanks for stopping by and happy flashing!
Looks like a pretty cool program. I've read other post that reference making changes like this, always wondered how. Wonder if this is one way, I'd assume there are other ways too.

Just got done installing this and it seems to be working great. I'm running CM7 with no special tweaks other than Moon Shadows wifi fix, following instructions from op here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
this is what I did:
1. DL Pdroid Patcher zip to PC (Win7 in my case)
2. Extract Pdroid Patcher exe file and run
3. Browse to update-cm-7.2.0.-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip (cm7 ROM) and select.
4. Click "Patch" (program takes about 2 minutes to create required patch zip file as well as restore file if you choose to uninstall Pdroid later)
5. copy the 2 created zip files (PDroid-v1.31-update-cm-7.2.0-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip & PDroid-RESTORE-update-cm-7.2.0-RCO-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip) to your external SD Card
6. Boot in our BSR BACKUP...BACKUP DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!
7. Flash the PDroid zip file
8. I did not wipe anything as it is not stated to do so in the OP install instruction... I did flash cm7 reRecovery before I rebooted just to be safe.
9. Reboot your phone, go to market and install Pdroid.
I tested by removing several permissions for my Fox News app which doing thru cm7 causes the app to break, using PDroid the app still worked. Not sure how to test beyond that.
I did notice that the reboot stayed on the cm7 animation for a while before the phone came back up as if a dalvik wipe had been done.
Hope this helps and if you break it it's your fault not mine and remember...BACKUP
You are awesome! Thank you very much for giving this attention, I can't wait to follow the steps you've listed when I get home. Thanks again

Quick update... there is a setting in the app to display anytime an app request access to private data. With this turned on it shows access being denied to my Fox News app and the app runs fine. This really is an awesome app.

He probably should update the op title. Pdroid is an app that lets you modify permissions app by app with out breaking them. You also have the option of "spoofing" the permissions by sending randomly generate data rather than your phones actual sim, meid, phone #, etc.

Beautifully put. Hey, I would update the op title but it's not letting me from the mobile app. I will later when I'm on my laptop.
Hey, how did you spoof the permissions? Don't see that option within the settings. I just see symbols without descriptions (gear, bar graph, check, ect...)?
Just to add, I don't know if it's just in my head or not but I feel like my phone is moving way faster After changing all the permissions that I did.
........and last, I'm going to post the patch zip file for cm7 dx2 when I get home so all anyone needs to do is flash it and download pdroid from the market (Google play (stupid name)....whatever). Okay all done.

Settings options are:
Check = allow
Graph = random spoof
Gear= set the spoof value

And then there is a check box in the top right corner to enable notifications for just that app.

So please help me clarify what setting should I set the apps to? Also do I need to do them one at a time or can I do it by batch?
Okay, what I have been doing is blocking ALL permissions for any given app and then trying to run it. I then look for any error messages and go back and enable only those specific permissions to allow the app to function properly. You'll get a system once you use it a bit. .....and unfortunately there is no batch function. It is a very cool app though once you play with it and definitely enable the function where you can see it blocking and granting permissions. It's pretty cool!

Flashing The update zip makes the required changes for the app Pdroid that you get from the market to run properly with the cm7 ROM. IT WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ARE ON CM7. If you later uninstall Pdroid you flash the restore zip to remove the changes made by the update zip.
I believe it is done this way so the app can work without root permission and therefore doesn't have to run in the background....I could be wrong though and as with any mod you should go to the linked thread above and research it for yourself.

Make sure the download size of the vvm zip is correct (it should be 1mb), try downloading it from your PC because people have been having problems with it only partially downloading to 500kb.

It's really not that hard guys. Just follow the simple instructions.
1. Download the vvm zip I posted.
2. Make sure it is the full file and not an incomplete zip! IT MUST BE 1MB.
3. Remove the current visual voicemail you have installed.
4. Flash the vvm zip in CWM.
5. Turn off wifi and make sure cellular data is on and launch the visual voicemail app and complete the setup.

I tried this, and it doesn't work. Even after removing the old VM and flashing the new one, when I use the VVM app and get into my voicemail, it tells me that "an activation message still hasn't been received" and asks me to call VM again.
Could this be a problem with my plan? Do I have to have VVM activated?

Yes you need the visual voice mail feature.
If you have AT & T messaging then you need to get that feature removed as it overrides visual voice mail.
Well everytime i download it, the file size is 554kb, any thoughts anyone?

Put com.att.vvm.sharedlib.xml in /system/etc/permissions
Put com.att.vvm.sharedlib.jar in /system/framework
Set permissions to each of these rw-r--r-- (that is read write for owner, read for group, read for other)
Reboot, turn off Wifi, and launch it from the app drawer to setup.

Right click and select save as. It's just a text file that you need to rename to xml.

There is an update for wallet... 7-1-12

My wallet is "working". But wonder if it fixes the EVO LTE problems.
In "whats new":
Added compatibility with new devices

No dice for me.
No dice here either. I am factory original configuration btw.
unfortunately the update does not fix Wallet for the ELTE....but....utnick posted a solid fix here, this is no build.prop hack, this is a patched apk that removes the device check, the operator check, and the root warning.
I've created a a flashable zip below...

Sexy.
Is this apk safe though, as far as for further updates and such? It is such a sensitive app...
I intend to flash it.
Also, what if we installed the update from 7-1? Uninstall wallet first then flash?

How would I go about a fix without ruining my secure element since I can't get into the app to clear it?

I need someone to confirm that this is a fix. It has worked for me more than once on getting into the apps and turning on a prepaid card.
1. Change ro.product.device=jewel to ro.product.device=htc_jewel (this is only editted once. No other build.prop edits)
2. Delete build.prop.bak (or at least move it to another location because wallet may detect it?)
3. Uninstall wallet update
4. Reboot
5. Install wallet updates
6. Open wallet and it should work?
Someone confirm...?

I hate to post another build edit, but I have done this about four times after flashing new roms and it gives me access every time.
My wallet is currently and has been working.

build.prop.bak isn't detected by GWallet, I can confirm this.

You have to root in order to make it fully work.

I can't tell you 100% for sure that this will not brick the NFC, but this is what I did to be able to reset the Google Wallet settings. Modify your build.prop so it matches this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27808326&postcount=2
After you unsync / sync Gmail and reboot a couple times, go into Wallet. It will activate and initialize like it did the first time. Now you can reset Google Wallet settings and hopefully avoid bricking NFC.
The mod in the dev section worked perfect for me. No need for build prop edit and no reddish hue in the FFC.

I would say it's just as safe as the official wallet, it's just removes the checks.
if u installed the 7/1 update, uninstall it, and remove any trace of wallet b4 flashing this new one
None of the methods in this thread worked as usual..oh well
closer
we're getting closer guys, now it's only not compatible with device and carrier, but it is with our country, one down 2 to go..!!
For those of you that are not able to get OMJ's zip to work, you might want to actually do a search for any wallet files using something like Astro or Root explorer.
I uninstalled Wallet and tried the zip and it did not work. I got the same messages. Then I did a search and found more files. Once I deleted them, I retried the zip and everything worked.
It might just be that you did not clear all of the original files out. Worth a try since it worked for me.
Mine updated and Worked like a charm gave me another 10 dollars I edited the build prop when I first got the phone a few weeks ago. Flashed the zip in the other thread with build prop edits a couple days ago. Working now.
