[Q] How to block OTA? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hello,
Will installing FOTAKill app work on Note? Does anyone know? Anyone tried it?
Looking to go back to gingerbread from ICS, and stay on it without being notified.
No, this isnt the thread about how much better is ICS.

Just go back to GB and ignore the text telling you ics is available. The update isn't ota, so there most likely won't be recurring reminders to update.

[Q] Reverting to stock before OTA

Hello, I apologize for the dumb question, but I've been so caught up in flashing all of the new leaks/roms that I've forgotten which version I should be on in order to receive the OTA. For some reason I was thinking JI6, but can't remember for sure.
Any help is appreciated... thanks!
Odin is ur friend read guide in the sticky

I know how to flash... just couldn't remember if it was JI6. I'll assume that was the last OTA from TMo.
Yes JI6 was the last offical ota.

I'm running stock j16 with some metamorphed icons, should I do a factory reset before the ota?

Anything with a stock rom should be good. I just got a replacement phone completely stock, so I'll probably just move my sim over today so I don't have to lose my current setup.

As long as you have JI6 and Twiz running (won't work with a home replacement like LauncherPro), you'll receive the OTA with no problems. I received the last OTA while rooted with bloat removed.
Upgrade seems to come over Kies
So TMoNews has this information. http://yfrog.com/f/gy2nwxlj/ Seems like the upgrade is going to be coming over Kies.
Will it keep all my apps after update?
Can I receive ota update without a data plan?

[Q] 4/21 An official Fascinate 2.2 update ota?

Hi yall, so I just found out that verizon is pushing out an official froyo build ota on the 21st, tomorrow. But the thing is, My phone is already running under DL30 rom rooted and prefering not to install the new update. Not that I don't want to experience a new froyo, it's just because I'm too lazy to go back all the way to 2.1 then de-root the phone........ ehhhhhh........ Now my question is, is there a way for me to disable the automatic update? p.s.Last time when verizon pushed out an update ota, my phone would just constantly turn on and off) Thank you guys!
If you're on DL30 I doubt you'd be able to receive the ota even if you wanted to.
And, in the future, please post your questions in the Q&A section.

are there any differences between the "official" froyo and the froyo we have all been using previously (I do know it has been mes source..just wondering if its worth moving to the official upgrade).
Thanks.
Adryn has posted a debinged version of the new ed01 official release in the dev section.

Meh, from what I have tested for adryn and others the mes source stuff handles the same, at least kernel wise. The rom ec01 leak seemed to run pretty well, I'm fixing to flash ED01 and try it

Thanks for the info. I'm at a point where "if it 'ain't broke, don't fix it" so I might pass on this update.

htcdm.apk

can anyone please help me on what this app does? it's keeping my phone awake 100% of the time. i froze it and now my phone sleeps, but i have googled and googled and I cannot find the purpose of this app or what freezing it may do? Does anyone know the purpose of this app by chance?
Are you on a custom rom?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
It checks if updates are available. Keep it frozen. I had the same problem with my thunderbolt and sence roms
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Thank you so much. It's a stock rom, but i have taken a lot of the bloat out of it.
Have you gotten the OTA update yet? If not it may be frozen trying to download/install it. I had that issue and had to clear its cache/data to get it to stop.
What update was it? I honestly am not sure, is there a way to check and see if I got the update? What would i look under in "about phone" or what not?

new OTA build number = 2.01.605.11
previous to this was 1.02.605.6
The phone is working well now. I think i'm gonna leave it as it is, but i do wish cyanogenmod would hurry up and get a darn rom out. I love their roms...normally very few if any bugs.

Official ICS Update

Just a quick question. I have my AT&T Note running the ics leak (very poorly at that) and I cant wait for the legit update to come from AT&T. It will still get pushed to my phone even though I'm on ICS won't it? Or does My being on ICS already throw it off?

Who knows, if your running the leak of ICS why not try one of the roms out there? The Collective unofficial just released v2 beta 4 today and its rock solid.

First, try collective seraphim
Second, being stock rooted alone will break updates.. you have to go back to stock to get the update
Sent from my Note using ICS by AT&T
My phone is no longer rooted. When I put the leak on there it broke my root access. I'm not interested in putting another rom on it and trying to get my data back the way i have it. I just want to know if I will still get the update pushed to my phone.

No, that is what he was saying, you can be on stock and just being rooted will fail the update, so..... Being on an unreleased firmware most assuredly will break it.

System update?

So for the first time ever I just received a system update notification. I am rooted s-off on stock with goodies 2.06. Yea I know it's old and unsupported but it runs so good I don't want or need to change.
So why did I get this update notification now? How do I get rid of it with out switching roms?

HTC/Sprint pushed an update a couple days ago 3.16.651.3
setting/system updates/htc software updates and uncheck the schedule check and it will not look for updates anymore
Thanks. I did that but the notification is still there. Is there a way to get rid of it?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
