Rooted, but constantly getting the system update (already downloaded) notifications .
Methods I found from search and did not work:
- Renamed and moved otacerts.zip.
- Deleted the ota update from Cache
Have not yet attempted:
- Accept the update, which will supposedly fail due to the missing files, thus stopping the update, and the notification.
Before I resort to making that leap, what did you guys do to stop it?
Thanks a bunch!

What application should be frozen. I too would like to know, and don't want to brick or upset my phone.
Thanks.

Wish I had know about that, mistakenly updated to 10g and lost root
Here's my dilemma. I had been getting tired of the notification. So I let it do it's thing. Upon reboot it gave me the Triangle Android boot screen. Nothing was installed. After a battery pull it started up fine. Now I don't have a recovery. I had CWM installed with the old Prada apk. I tried using the install again. Reboot to recovery just reboots phone. Any advice?
Getting frustrated with the ota 10g popping up. I am rooted and have voodoo root keeper. Update wont go through. Freezes with red triangle. Tried unrooting with voodoo and disabling su. Nothing seems to work. Anybody know how I can get this to either update or disable 10g notifications? I have titanium but not sure what to freeze.

All I had to do was watch it fail once and then the notification went away, but I have heard that if that does not stop the stupid update notices you can go into /cache and find the 28 or so mb file for the update (it has a fairly distinctive name), copy the filename, delete the file, and create an empty file, then paste that name you copied from the real update as the name for the blank file. Then, when your favorite little notification pops up, press install now and watch the red triange pop up. Now, just hold power button until it powers off, then turn it on, and alakazam, no more update irritation. Also, one reason the update sometimes doesn't go through is if you have deleted any of T-Mobile's bloatware. If you do want the update to install, your best hope for restoring the bloatware is in this thread HERE. Good Luck!
While I can't vouch for anything else besides the P675 10e Tmobile version, the following method will stop the update prompts. It *should* work on all ICS and JB devices, including Nexus.
0. Root, if you haven't already.
1. Download AutoRun Manager
2. In ARM, choose "Advanced"
3. Touch the wrench icon, and check
- Show System Entries
- Enable System Application Disable
4. Back on the application list, tap the refresh (circle arrow) icon if you don't see system apps. They should have a red background.
5. Find the app Google System Framework (aka: GSF) and tap it.
6. Uncheck the "com.google.<something>.gsf.update.SystemUpdate" receivers. I can't read my own handwriting at the moment, but they both end in SystemUpdate.
And there you go. I've been update free for at least 18 hours, and it's persisted through reboots. The receivers have yet to start back up.
Most ICS and JB devices should receive update notifications via the Google Services Framework, not the manufacturer's update applications. The manufacturer might have their own update procedures/apps/scripts once the update is downloaded and ready to install, but the notifications should all be handled by the GSF.
Personally, I tried freezing and even deleting all LGE update related apps (omadmclient [or whatever it's called], fota [several variants], and more), deleting the downloaded update, deleting the SSL certs, and even using a pm command in a shell script that ran every 5 minutes to kill all LGE update related modules. Nada. The only thing that worked was the above method.
I've also heard -- what DatNexus mentioned -- accepting the udpate then hard rebooting works, too. But it's not as universal (my Nexus 7 still kept prompting me, for example) and there's always a chance that accepting an update later on will brick or otherwise damage the file system rather than just fail outright.

From what I've seen (e.g., Bloatware Disabler and ViperMod), the bloatware zappers out there are all permanent and thus survive a reboot (unlike the root itself).
I'm one of many that wants the option of a one-click root that is totally temporary but does everything you'd want (overclock, Hulu fix, etc). The missing piece of the puzzle here is a temporary bloat disabler or uninstaller.
Does this kind of mod exist? If so I'd be happy to incorporate it into my existing one-click roots.
I'm guessing that if the changes are non-permanent (i.e., are undone at reboot) then the best we can do is FREEZE and not uninstall the apps, right?
If that's true, I propose two roots: Root 1 strips out all the bloatware, overclocks, roots, etc etc (all the good stuff ). If you want to return to stock, Root 2 will reroot, REINSTALL THE DELETED APPS, then reboot so that you're back to stock in terms of system files.
Going either direction on this will, I think, be a step in the right direction.
(PS: I apologize for my noobishness; however, I've been creating some helpful tools for people recently and I think this is the next step, but some overall guidance first would really help! Please consider my earnestness before flaming! )
THANKS IN ADVANCE
The way pm disable works on apps and packages is permanent. You can do pm uninstall com.htc.taskiller (for example) and it should work, I have never tried it. Im 100% sure it will come back on a reboot, though. With vMBM, you can just enable everything from the Advanced menu in a few seconds. Were you aware of that?
I really like where your headed with this. I did manage to delete a single file and did an install of swype and it seems to be the only thing that sticks after reboot. Think it was the install file from oem.
has to be something to remove to prevent apps from reinstalling them selves.
Btw, after you ad this to your mod script when finished, can you throw in apfree install. Thanx in advanced.

So you're saying that Vipermod simply freezes the apps, and they can be re enabled easily from a menu? Do apps stay frozen Thu reboot?
I guess what I'm thinking here is that I want a root that 100% strips out bloated (so I guess uninstall) but which either does NOT persist Thu boot or else can be restored later with one click deeply (i tried to explain this in OP. If I understand vipermod correctly, I think that'd be the second best option (merely freezing apps). Of course, in the preceding I'm assuming that uninstalled is better than frozen, all things being equal.
What do you think?

Right--my assumption is that with temp root I could go in and delete a **** ton of system files and totally destroy my phone--right?? Basically, to reiterate, BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE WORLD OF TEMP ROOT ANYWAY, AND REQUIRE FREQUENT REROOT, IF I'M GOING TO FREQUENTLY REROOT I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE THE OPTION TO NOT ONLY STRIP OUT BLOATED BUT **ALSO** QUICKLY RETURN TO STOCK (FOR WARRANTY, SERVICE, ETC.) Can you offer some guidance?
As to Adfree, there's no need to add that. I only want my oneclick to do stuff you'd otherwise have to do manually after rooting. This isn't necessary with Adfree--after root just use the fast reboot app and address works fine, no? (or does it NOT work? Angry Birds seems to have LESS ads but isn't totally adfree--I've been assuming it was simply "beating" the adfree app.)

How about just freezing apps with titanium backup? It sticks with a reboot and only takes a single click per app to freeze/unfreeze.
tapa tapa tapa
Titanium freeze uses the pm disable. Pm disable will stick through reboot. If you want to not have a system app only til reboot, just delete in terminal or with root explorer. And I believe a data/factory reset wipe would restore frozen apps

Correct, it uses the pm disable command on apps. It stays after a reboot but can be easily re-enabled after a reboot.
basically this guy wants a script similar to vipermod that "rm stupid.apk" from the /system/app directory instead of "pm disable" which is very very simple. that way upon reboot it all returns

So I guess I'm confused. If i temp root, then go into root explorer and delete all kinds of system files--they'll come back after reboot?
And yes, my root sticks til a true reboot, but not thereafter. Isn't that the case with everyone?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
If you disable the app in titanium or thru adb then the .apk file still is on the phone..but NOT usable or loadable...if you uninstall the app then the file is off the phone...then if you do a reboot....the phone will reinstall the programs you deleted but the disabled apps stay disabled, invisible to the machine but the apk of that program is still on the machine..usually in /SYSTEM/APPS or /DATA/APPS. Ugly but it works like a charm. And from what I read...it is for everybody....hope this answers your question.

As said above yes they will come back. You have no write access to system. So although you think you are deleting them, you are not. You are only "deleting" them from cache. Disabling them, actually writes to an xml file in the data directory (which apps have access to). If you have fast boot turned on, you are not truly "rebooting" and that's why root stays.
Accidentally click on "update" when it prompts. It makes no sense to have OTA update enabled for customized ROMs, but anyway to disable it? Thanks all.
This might do it
Just try for errors. I used root explore to edit the file "build.prop" in the system folder. Changed the Blur version to a large number (much larger than a practical one) and also change the rdf link information to an invalid one, as follows.
ro.mot.hw.uaprof=http://uaprof.motorola.com/phoneconfig/MotoMB999/profile/MotoMB999.rdf
ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.99.9.9.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Then you need to reboot and wipe your cache with CM. After did so, the OTA update windows has never popped up so far and I won't even get the OTA update through the setting menu. But not sure if these edits will cause other issues, so you may try at your risk.
I would be interested to know if that effectively solves the issue, my Photon is running Laser and just today has started bugging me about the update every 3 hours.

For those that might not be as technically inclined or you don't want to take the chance in editing your build.prop you can also do this:
1. Download bloat freezer from the market. (its free)
2. I should have said first you have to be rooted or it wont work
3. Open bloat freezer and it will list all apps and processes; scroll down until you see "Updater".
4. Freeze that process. It will stay frozen until you defrost it.
5. That is it no more OTA pushes or Notifications
I know we all don't like OTA updates when you're unlocked, rooted, and running a custom rom and/or kernel. The hassle of flashing back and forth can be annoying too so this is a simple fix until we get custom radio's for the photon
The new Joker ROM is based off the latest OTA. But I think you have to install to leak to update the radios and what not then install the ROM. But you won't get any OTA updates as you'll be on the latest version. Home Base/Alien/Star Wars are all running on the 154 build.
You could also edit the build.prop file so that the system thinks you have the latest version...but you won't have all the fixes, so you should probably flash the latest SBF.

This caused a permanent wakelock on SystemUpdateService on my LG Optimus P769, so my phone never went to sleep mode. I even rebooted several times, and checked over several days. As soon as I re-enabled update.systemUpdateService, the phone was able to sleep again. It did seem to prevent the OTA popup from re-appearing, but at a cost of battery life.

Well I used Titanium backup to freeze com.lge.lgfota.permission and I used root explorer to change the lgfota.apk in \system\app folder to lgfota.bak and reboot.
I found a useful trick to keep the ota from showing up, if you enter ##3328873 in tge dialer pad and enter 000000 for the service code you then can uncheck the ota-dm mode this should prevent any ota
Alternatively, you can simply freeze the System Updates process via Titanium Backup, as discussed in the Bloatware thread.

Thanks for the information. Verizon began pushing an OTA to my LG G3 today. It was very annoying, thanks again!
Thank you, but it seems I'm too late.
Now, event though I've unchecked it, I keep getting a menu to do an update. I keep pressing back to get out of the update now or schedule an update later, but I can't seem to get it to go away, Gonna try the titanium update freeze of the updater.
Disabling the System Updates apk also works.

Thanks for sharing!

Alternatively, you can simply freeze the System Updates process via Titanium Backup, as discussed in the Bloatware thread.

Alternatively you can do what OP said since its easier and requires no third party apps or root. But hey, cool story bro.
Thank you. This method works. I tried the other two and they didn't work. The "hidden menu" version came up with a different menu than in the description and TiBU didn't stop the notifications (for me). First I tried moving the update files to a new directory I created, but the update message had already been triggered.
If you pull down the notifications and long-press on the OTA, you can disable the app and remove the icon from the screen.

I found a useful trick to keep the ota from showing up, if you enter ##3328873 in tge dialer pad and enter 000000 for the service code you then can uncheck the ota-dm mode this should prevent any ota

At first I thought this worked, but it ended up not working. As you can see in the image below, I have the ota-dm unchecked, which worked for a while, but today the system update dialog/notification came back.

Getting this too
Same here
Use Rom toolbox pro to freeze the 2 ota apps, titanium is junk.
Afterwards, delete any files in root/cache/fota.

Or use free app called Uninstall Expert and freeze it that way too

If you've already got root...which most people who are trying to stop OTAs have because they're wanting to keep root...why would you not simply freeze the process while you're going about the task of freezing all the bloat from Verizon? To me, that's easier as it allows a single action to restore everything back to stock settings (plus root and Bump) instead of having to use multiple methods to get back to such a state. But to each their own. I understand that some people like having their mobile OS weighed down from carrier installed garbage. Regardless, what kind of person knocks someone else for daring to add to the discussion with another method that, for many (especially those eventually wanting to flash ROMS), streamlines everything?
What are the exact names of the OTA apks? I looked in system/app and system/priv-apps.. Nothing really reads as system Ota or Ota something. Maybe I missed it. I would like to rename them manually.
Edit: is it LGFOTA.apk and its odex file?
Edit: ok thats not it update popped up after reboot. I now think its LGDMSClient.apk

It's a blue icon called 'system updates' in your application manager in your settings.

I tried it and got temporary root on my Verizon Note Edge. I know it is temporary but at least it is root.
I do not have the developer version btw..
Did you use the Note 4 .img file?

I just followed the video that is posted in the OP and that gave me temporary root. I didn't use any .img files.

Doesn't it say to use one of the downloadable boot img files from the linked site? It's a boot.img file.
Also what sorts of things have you tried so far with it?

I have tried Root Explorer and it allows me to read and write to the SD card. I have Root Call blocker and that works as well, I have tried Xposed Framework and so far no go, it does a reboot and you will lose root. This is still a work in progress but it looks a lot more promising than a couple of months ago.
I did not use any img files due to mine being a note edge and I think those files are for those who have taken the lollipop upgrade on their Note 4's. Since we have not received the lollipop upgrade to our edge's yet you should be good to at least temporary root because it is only working on KitKat.
I was able to temp root with king root 4.0.1 apk ... and was able to remove bloatware files from: system/app and: system/priv-app but after reboot they are all back.
Update.... after temp rooting. . Install Titanium Backup and Freeze system apps will enable you to "turn off" apps that you otherwise wouldn't be able to disable through the stock app manager in settings menu.
See screenshot below. ...
Screenshot
Screenshot of TouchWiz disabled because I use a different Home Launcher. And YES it keeps disabled through a reboot.
Was able to turn off The KNOX apps as well... seems to keep root longer without rebooting. HOWEVER root doesn't last forever.. meaning apps like Titanium Backup will lose root... and you will have to reboot and run King root again to get temp root to freeze more apps etc.
This is still a work in progress, hopefully the losing root problem will be fixed soon.
This is nice but after messing with it all week I gave up. I could easily get temp.root and get SU installed but you lose root after about an hour even if you touch nothing. You will also get random reboots a lot and then have to start over.

If you install Titanium Backup and "freeze" all the Knox apps [see post 7, 8, & 9] you can keep root long enough to freeze all unwanted bloatware. That way you can at least "turn off" [disable] those apps from running in background etc. It's something more then we had.
Keep at it guys! I'll join when I get some time tomorrow and Monday

Yup, this worked. All week I was trying to "remove" these applications via tibu but yesterday I just froze them. I still lost root but see everything I froze is still listed as "Turned off" in Application manager. That will do for now, Thanks!
when you temp root, use TiBu to "convert to user app" this should move all the files to the user apps directory instead of system apps then try to uninstall and see if they come back after reboot. Just a hunch but I can't try since I don't have the retail version.

I do not see the option in Titanium Backup to ”convert to user app" .. Am I missing something?

You need to long press on the app. Towards the end of the setting that popup you should see the convert to user app setting.
Easiest way I found was to freeze all the apps you don't want, filter for frozen apps then go through the list converting them to user apps
Edit: this doesn't work. They will install themselves back after doing this.
I figured they would come back.. freezing app is as good as it gets for now.
long press or swipe right to get to the additional options. also thank you guys for confirming that for me. i wasnt for sure since I dont have the retail version to test out on.
also i think i remember reading in the note 4 forum that they were able to get it perma deleted by uninstalling all updates then uninstalling the app or something along those lines. I will go back and read it again to be sure of what i read, i may have misread.
I used this method to disable knox and bloatware on my Verizon Edge even without root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/disable-knox-ota-root-t2972263
As far as temp root is concerned using King root, I suppose while on a rooted state, one can make changes to the system such as:
1) Enabling 3rd party apps like ES File Explorer to write to SD card by modifying platform.xml as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277
2) Enabling hidden menu (if this is important to you) by modifying /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu file.
Even if you lose root, the changes you made to these files should stick, correct?
