I'm on Lite'ning ROM 3.6 and yesterday I got an OTA update notification.
Anyone knows what this update is about? Is it safe to perform OTA update for custom ROM?
Anyway I canceled it and couldn't get back the update prompt even going to About phone -> Software update

+1 to MistahBungle's post, with one note: some custom ROMs (but not all) have an OTA updater baked into them so that the chef/developer can push out changes. Off the top of my head, I can only name Resurrection ICS as doing this, but I know there's a few others as well. It could be worth checking the thead for Lite'ning ROM to see if they support OTA ROM updates.

Thanks to both for your inputs.
Which means that I shouldn't get an OTA update in the first place if I use custom ROM?
I vaguely remember it is a OTA update notification which when I select, opens up a dialog prompting for Ok, Wifi settings or Cancel. When I hit Cancel, it asks whether to remind at various intervals or Cancel. If I select any of the intervals, it stays here in my notification drawer, which I finally opt to cancel completely.
Too bad I didn't capture a screenshot.

Hey all, I'm running a rooted 2.1 Eris. I used the Eris one click root app and I'm running zanfur's Kernel. I didn't think I was supposed to be able to get OTA updates once rooted, but this morning I started recieving the annoying "update now" message. It comes back up every 30 minutes when I press "update later," so I'd kinda like to be able to fix that... What happens if I do the OTA update? Would I just have to re-root my phone afterwards? I was reading some speculation that the update may make re-rooting difficult... Either way, I'm clueless as to what I should do right now. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
It will keep bugging you and then it will do a force update. I say let it update then just reroot... sometimes the updates will start installing but because you are rooted it will fail and then go away

Pretty sure this is what happened to mine this morning when I tried it. I didn't even think about, just hit "Continue" then realized it didn't work...

If you have a custom recovery on the phone (which would be the case with the One-Click app), then you can just hit "accept". The phone will reboot into recovery, as if it was going to do the update, but it will fail immediately in the recovery without causing any changes to occur. After that, you will not get update "nag" screens any longer.
If you want to be ultra-conservative about it, you can boot into recovery and make a Nandroid backup before you accept the update in the regular OS. Making backups regularly is a good practice anyway. Strictly speaking, it is not necessary in this particular case (and moreover, the saved state of that backup will have the "nag" behavior still present).

Thank you!
Thank you everyone, I clicked "update now," and it wet to the boot screen, no problems. Thanks for putting my mind to ease before I did it.
Ok, So I didnt have the box checked to not receive the update notification. I have NOT installed or downloaded any of the OTA updates as of yet. and preffer to get the updates here from Dev. I am S-off/Root with Rev. 1.40 Running Different Kernel and rom.
BUT I do have the notification at the top of my phone to do the update and clicking on it does so. My question is How can I get rid of this notification so I can do manual update Via dev?
You can just click the notification and cancel the download.
You can cancel the dl, or Ty
Oops, that reply messed up, cancel dl or try going to the sprint zone app, and uncheck notifications
I got the OTA notice last week and dismissed it as I always do to let the update fallout hit and wait and see how it was going.
Well, now, I get no update notification even if I manually check Settings > About > System Firmware Update.
Normally, OTA messages nag the hell out of you until you update. Now, it shows nothing is available as though Asus pulled the .28 OTA.
ps - yes, to preempt the comments, I know I could do the update off the Asus website, but that is not what I am asking
I'll start with the obvious stupid question: are you sure you didn't update and don't know it?
If you rooted or modified system apps it won't update.

your putting the cart before the horse. You can't have a failed OTA due to modifying system apps until you get the OTA notification to update. So your referencing something that cannot happen until AFTER the OTA update is initiated.
Well you didn't answer the question. I had this happening on my acer iconia. Root + removed system apps the updates didn't show up anymore.

My original question answers your question. So it was a question you needed not ask.
And my answer DOES answer your question. But since your not getting it.. I will try to make it crystal clear....
How the heck could I have a failed update if I dont get the OTA update notification to even update??? I have explained this now in my last 2 posts, though it should have been obvious from the 1st post.

You didn't by chance freeze the DMClient?
No, I did not freeze, kill off, quit or stop the DMClient.
(though I did not even know that process was related to the OTA update or OTA update notification).
i think its just a bug or asus's new thing
i think it'll only tell you once that there is an update as for everybody else, once they tried once and fail, it would say there is no update... sorta weird i think....
Yeah, I have never seen the Asus OTA update nag only nag me 1 time and then never again. Normally, it will nag until you HAVE to update. Same with phones.
This time, I dismissed it 1 time and it never came back and now, I cannot even do it manually in Settings.
It seems like they pulled the OTA update since you cannot even trigger it manually from within Settings.
BTW, I updated my wife's with .28 the same day I dismissed mine.
I got my OTA update a few hours ago (Germany).
Try a soft (pin) reset maybe? Just a shot in the dark.

That is not what he was saying. He is saying if you removed any system apps before installing .28. Not if the update failed and you don't get it again. -_-
I just got my tf201 today. It is on Honeycomb 3.2.1. I tried to update and I get this message. there is no update available for your device currently. The build number is HTK75.US_epad-8.8.3.33-20111223. Kernal version 2.6.36.3
Does anyone know where is the downloaded update stored ?
Don't want to update right now but it is going to remind me in 3 hours, and is there a way to stop the update process or do a factory reset will it skip the update?

Just connect to the pc and update with Kies, or flash the new rom with Odin.
Just wanted to skip the update completely, so how to avoid update ?

If a box appears that an update is available just press no, look in settings, about the phone, software update and you can disable fota updates.
Did you try removing the battery in between the update ?
It stopped popping up after i installed a ROM. I refuse to install it since i did it before and my phone would not root until i got an exchange from sprint and didn't install it the second time.
This morning I noticed I had an update available. I'm rooted with TWRP and SuperSU, by the way. After doing a little research first, I decided to download Voodoo OTA RootKeeper v2.0.3 just to be on the safe side. I then decided to let the update run it's course but it failed and took me to TWRP recovery. I was able to reboot to the regular system, but I've been getting the Verizon OTA update notification all day, but it just stays at the "busy" status bar without actually starting to download anything. When I try to access "Software Update" in the About phone menu under Settings, it says "Download interrupted. Software download will resume automatically." And then in a couple of hours, the whole process repeats.
I'm at a loss here. Is there a program that is slapping the OTA update down like TWRP? If so, how do I bypass it?
Thanks in advance.
