For future reference, you can download it and then choose not to install it. It can be downloaded over Wi-Fi, or uses background mobile data but doesn't display the icon.
EDIT:
It took 11 minutes to install, and now I'm Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1. I can't find how to change the Recent Apps button to a Menu button. I'm slightly upset about that.
Now on to attempting root!

Is that the "Defer" option, or "Yes", then choose to not install?
Once it downloads I would expect a constant nag to install until you do.

First "OK" to download update, then "Defer" to not install it once it has downloaded. And yeah, you'll probably get constant nags.

I believe the Menu button change is the 3-button Mod that you can install once rooted.
Good luck on the root attempt! Please let us know how it goes.
so can we not use this exploit unless we have downloaded the newest update?

Unlike the sense 4.1 updates for one series and EVO LTE, ours does not bring the key remappingoption to settings...those updates changed display & gestures to display, gestures, & buttons...and the option is in there for those users
Got the update but unlike others, mine just downloaded and installed without asking me permission! I was in my car and needed to make a call too! Argh. But at least it seems to have installed OK.
Any idea if this update is available for download on VZW's website somewhere? I am having trouble with the OTA update.
I got the update too...no notice, it just d/l'd and installed without options. What's the new icon in the status bar (left of the wifi)?
Caught mine just before it installed the update and yanked my battery. Every time I boot it back up it tries to install the update. Any ideas on how to get it to clear the update? Don't want to update til we know more about what this might mean for the possibility of S-OFF or root with the current h-boot.
it downloaded mine and i defered it, but where does it download to, i can't find it.

There are many other posts on this. However, I will try to help. At what point does it get to before it errors out? Is it at the Android guy with progress bar then an exclamation mark, a reboot, and then message saying it failed? Please give more info.
Yup it starts out with the open box ti show peogress and then goes to exclamation mark, reboots say update failed, i am rooted trying to go to 4.3.6 build 198_6 from 4.3.5 build 198_5

Ok...most likely it is failing the MD5 check. Have you removed any apps? When it gets to the Android guy and progress bar hold down both volume buttons at same time and it will tell you what is causing the issue. If it shows an apk in the error than it either can't find or verify the app. Post back to get more help if needed.
The webtop hdmi hack breaks the upgrade. If you've done that move the original .apk and .odex files back and it will upgrade.
Been there, had it happen to me.

I'm on 4.2.7 locked and unrooted. (4.2.7 OTA unrooted me, and haven't bothered to root again).
I get the same "up to date" message. With past OTA's, it takes a few days sometime before you can manually find and do it. Don't worry.

Ooops!
My bad - I briefly saw a mention last night of an update for Gtalk video and assumed it was released. I read more carefully today - just a leak, so will look for an OTA in a couple weeks!
Not true, last night i did manual update from my phone and it foind one, 4.3.6 build 198_6 i am on 4.3.5 build 198_5 right now, the update kept failing and when i try to scan for one toda it says phone up to date i dont whats going on:/
Ok, so last night my phone downloaded the update (guessing Gingerbread). I'm still running 2.2.1 on my Thunderbolt, as I was out of the country for the past few months. I caught the phone before it completed the installation and thought that if I removed the PG05IMG.zip file from the sd card, that would prevent it from being able to install the update. I turned the phone back on and it began to attempt to install the update again. I would like to flash a new ROM to the phone (as I was simply rooted without a custom ROM before) so that I am running 2.3+ but I don't want to have to re-root the phone. I would like to be able to back everything up before I flash a new ROM. How do I prevent the phone from installing the OTA update that was inadvertently downloaded last night , which will unroot my phone??
Please help! Thank you
Not sure if you can stop it at this point and since the phone can still be rooted with the GB update, it may just be easiest to let it go.
Otherwise, if you really want to stop the update, you probably need to boot into Fastboot and find the files that are part of the update. From my Eris days, the OTA update isn't packaged up in the PG05IMG.zip file that you removed. I'm not sure where the files are or what files are the ones you need to delete though...
Someone fee free to correct me, but if you flash the CWM recovery it will prevent the update from happening?
Essentially, I just use the phone for wireless tether, so that's mainly why I root. Doubt that changes much of anything...

Install a non-stock ROM. Don't worry, you can get Sense-based ones that won't be anything "new".
It appears that VZW will eventually force the update so there's no way that I'm aware of to stop it while running stock (even rooted stock).

Flash a ROM that has the update. There are a few around here that are 2.11.605.5 that you flash in Recovery so that it'll stop bugging you to update. Just pick one that is already rooted. You can do a backup of your currrent rom, flash the 2.11.605.5 then restore your data and your all set....

Thanks for the thumbnail. I did find it in TB and froze it but I'm still getting the update notification in my notification pull down.
Did you restart the phone after
that may work
Don't know if this will work or not, but on the Galaxy S3 the way to stop getting nagged about an OTA was to edit build.prop and replace all references to the old ROM with the new one. So you could try making a backup of build.prop, then edit all references to ZV4 and change them to ZV6. Save the file, make sure permissions are set to rw-, r--, r-- (0644), and reboot.
I would strongly suggest making a nandroid backup first.
Here's how I have been doing it:
1. Download Autorun Manager
2. In settings under advanced enable view services
3. Go to Google Services Framework and disable update...see below.
At your own risk if you decide to try it, of course.

This is the recommended way. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57182591
If the update has already downloaded. Disabling the OTA still wont get rid the the notification. Easy way to get rid of it is long press it and go to app info. This will take you to Google Play Services. Simply uncheck show notifications and the system update in the pull down notifications will go away.
Just a temporary fix to get it out of the way. I reccommend just downloading a ZV6 rooted rom.

I have a question that I wanted to ask before I go any further. I bought a G3 last week, rooted it and installed twrp recovery, and have done multiple backups.. Had a hardware defect so I had to exchange my phone for another new one. I received a system update just now so I was going to accept the OTA update since its not rooted, completely stock. My questions are will I be able to root and instally twrp after this update and once I install all my apps, and if rooting and installing twrp is successful, can I restore my backup that I did on my other phone, even though its a different phone? Its from the same carrier and same model phone. Thanks for your feedback.

Don't take OTA. Root it and TWRP it. Then flash STOCK ROM ZV6 Deodexed or Odexed, then you'll be up to date and keep root with TWRP.

2) Make sure your handset is power off... then Press the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN keys and POWER key to power on the phone(picture1) , when the HUAWEI logo is showed , release the POWER key and keep pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN keys(picture 2) until your phone is entered the Software Upgrade Mode.

I have the update showing up in my phone. If I unroot and run the updater, will that be enough to make it work without wiping my phone?

In case anyone like me who can't bear the phone with gargantuan text, icon etc and would like to change the lcd dpi, don't bother then because the screen will be unusable if you change the lcd value. Just a heads up ! Since I can't stand the phone this way, I'm heading of to try PAC rom ! So long, Huawei and your sh*tty but nice looking EMUI.
@medwatt you will love the PAC rom and updates bi weekly right now. Next build will include new camera app and call record.

Let's hope so. Everything seems so large that someone looking into your phone might think you're blind ! Does the PAC ROM have the CM theme engine ?
Major credits again to @zachariahpope for the Lollipop build earlier tonight. Unfortunately getting it rooted from stock won't work. Which is why I proceeded to try the same method from my rooting guide to attempt root. And I am proud to say...I HAVE THE ROOTED LOLLIPOP SONY XPERIA Z3V!!!
And also, I have recovery as well.
If you're going to follow in the same footsteps, please PLEASE remember when you get the supersu file, grab the v2.49 as that is for LOLLIPOP.
@GigaSPX Make one of these in the development section too!!
well, looks like its time to flash

If you want root, you need to preroot. Otherwise, you won't have it at all.
Also this is an update: it seems it's still Verizon holding all of us by the edge about VoLTE. I tried activating it but it won't work. Still can't browse and call at the same time dammit.

Figured so, just wasn't sure if I'd missed a memo somewhere along the way. Appreciate it!

You must also activate it from your vzw account.

Yeah, and can't activate it on the Verizon account when it won't let you to.
Has anyone tried installing Xposed? I can't flash to install.

Just installed it. v74-sdk21-arm . Gave me a little scare, as it hung on the Sony logo after rebooting. Also, upon that initial reboot, the lockscreen was vacant and couldn't get beyond what should've been there. Had to long-press power to bring up power menu and select reboot.
Following that, things seem to be working fine. Xposed Installer crashes if you click on xda support links in module pages, and the installation of xposed modules from within the Xposed installer can take significantly longer than it did on KK.

Not sure if this helps, but, I jumped from this phone to the LG G4. We don't have much development but, some rooted users don't have advanced calling because they are rooted. I am a non-rooted user with advance calling. To add another variable to the equation, you have to have the My Verizon Mobile app installed and not disabled to at least initiate advanced calling. Some of the rooted users I think figured that out.

Big thanks here. Fully updated now, and with this tip I'm running xposed as well.
Uninstalled old xposed first (may not have been necessary)
TWRP dirty flashed pre-rooted 5.0.2 zip from post 44 of that lollipop dev thread
After boot TWRP isntalled v74-sdk21-arm module
Installed xposed_installer.apk and added back my most used modules
-chromepie
-xtether (still working )
Didn't bother with xperiaxposed, not even sure if it's updated. Never really used it
Also, I like this boot animation, not that it's of any importance http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/themes-apps/bootanimation-xperia-z3-t3079263

I did much the same but I did not uninstall xposed before I flashed and it wouldnt let me uninstall it after I upgraded to lollipop. But I flashed and installed the files above and it works great. Xperia Xposed works use v1.7 cause it's the only one that works.
Just wish there was a foolproof way to get rid of those useless small apps
