Currently S4 is rooted with TWRP custom recovery. Don't want to lose root access and I read that if you have a custom recovery the OTA update will fail. The update downloaded but not installed yet. I don't want the notification to keep prompting me to install. If I try to install the update, will it fail and not prompt me any notification?
It would probably fail to install because of twrp recovery. Freeze sdm 1.0 to stop the notification from popping up.

As stated, Use Titanium to freeze SDM 1.0 and that should removed the annoying pop up that asks you to install the update. Worked for me.
So I was forced to "schedule" the update for 6AM on my rooted/CWM recovery S4. There was no way to continue or go back. I just froze sdm 1.0. Will this block the update ? Can anyone confirm it will fail due to the custom recovery ? Haven't installed a custom ROM (probably CM 10.1) yet as I'm waiting for it to settle a little more.

It will block the ota. I had your exact situation. If you want to make sure for peace of mind, back up a couple system apps then uninstall them or freezem. Or you could just manually delete the ota files. But make sure to freeze sdm as was stated above.

I freezed SDM and how would you manually delete the OTA files? I know verizon downloaded the file since it keeps on prompting me to install it
They are usually in /data/fota/ , but I haven't tried extracting them on a Galaxy phone before so I'm not sure if you will need to use adb to extract the files. You dont need to do this, I was just saying its an option.

Go into Titanium Backup under Backup/Restore and freeze it there. Also freeze FWUpdate for good measure.

I'm on CM10 alpha 2, and I want to upgrade to 2.99999999. Since you can't flash roms on our cm10, I need to make an update.zip, sbf, then flash 2.99999999. However, I can't make one. After I've selected the apps, and Tibu starts to make the update.zip, Tibu says it couldn't make it. After retrying, Tibu instantly said it couldn't make one.
Is there any way to fix this, or can I get to 2.99999999 and keep my data another way?
Stop what you are doing. lol.
Just SBF to 2.3.4, root, install the bootstrap and flash the latest CM10 and the Gapps in bootstrap recovery. I have never used an update.zip to update a ROM and dont believe thats the proper way to do it.
I am only trying to make an update. Zip for my apps and their data, not for the whole rom.

Another simple tip, if you have to Odin after a soft brick, immediately start airplane mode until the rooting process is done. Me personally I keep the RomToolbox apk on my SD card so I don't even have to sign in to download.
Great tips!!

Just so I'm 100% sure I'm safe...
(I am rooted and thought I had already taken care of this, but obviously had not...)
I had an OTA notification waiting for me when I woke up this morning. I declined and it said something to the effect that it would automatically try again at 0100 (1 AM) and make sure my phone was charged and yada, yada, yada...
After that, I immediately renamed \system\app\sdm.apk to "SDM.bak" (I also renamed FWUpgrade.apk in the same manner as directed in another post I saw).
So...that's all I should have to do right? Is there a downloaded update hanging out somewhere that needs to be deleted as well? My phone won't attempt to install this later at 0100 tonight?

The actual OTA download will be located in /cache. Delete with root explorer.
The download goes into the Data/FOTA folder. Find that and remove all permissions. I cant take credit for that one because I read it from another user that confirmed it stopped the OTA.
1. Open Root Browser
2. Navigate to data/fota
3. Long Press and select Permissions
4. Uncheck all boxes making it 0000

would it be better just to delete the update? The file is about 327MB and that's unwanted space being used

I think the logic behind leaving the update file there, but with permissions removed is because that would effectively block the update from being re-downloaded again, or being run by the updater.
Granted, that point is probably moot if the correct updater apps are already frozen, but it's an extra layer of assurance.

You don't even need Titanium backup. I never see it mentioned here so I don't know if anyone knows it exists, but I think the free app "System Tuner" by 3c is much better that Titanium and has way more features.

Yeah, I just prefer to manually rename/remove files that I know for a fact I don't want running. Freezing apps via TiB works well for bloatware and stuff like that...stuff that I *may* want to activate again later, but in this case, I'm 100% sure I do NOT want to run any OTA updates.
Most people use titanium back up or other apps because a lot of users don't understand file and folder permissions or how to run commands with adb or terminal etc. Manually doing it in cases like this is good so you know that its disabled. Especially when its something like this.

Dude link2sd is your problem. Unlink apps and uninstall link2sd. Remember to uninstall busybox as well. Anything that modified the build.prop or system. Install voodoo ota rootkeeper and protect your root. Good luck!

Unfreeze the T-Mobile apps that you froze. Then uninstall link2sd... Try updating now and give me results.. And the only .apk that should be frozen is lookout security and LGsetupwizard.

Used Voodoo Rootkeeper to preserve root
Installed the OTA upgrade (clear data for Google Services Framework then check for update in the settings menu to force this)
Upgraded SuperSU binary
Restored Root (I might have done this before the SuperSU binary upgrade)
Let the phone fully update itself
Reboot into CWM
Make an initial backup
Wipe all data and cache
Make a clean backup for the next time this happens (per Nathan's advice)
Restore the initial backup
Perfect glad I could help.

Thinking of rooting the phone but know 4.4 is around the cornor. Is there anyway I can stop the OTA, or is 4.4 something worth trying?
Thanks!
Yes, once you root the phone you can download Titanium backup (full version) and freeze SDM
As I believe that the SDM is the file that manages the communication for updates

Well that depends. Progress is definitely being made towards another bootloader unlock. However, the 4.4 update would possibly introduce even more security that the devs haven't seen before.
But using titanium or just renaming sdm.apk to sdm.bak with a file explorer (must be rooted) will stop the updates.

Once you root download and install TitaniumBackup and the key (the money you spend for the key is really worth it!) Then you can freeze SDM as well as FWUpgrade. This will prevent your phone from upgrading.

Your BEST bet is to use TitaniumBackup and make a backup of all the files you want to "get rid of". Once you make those backups, you can have TitaniumBackup uninstall those apps. Now if something happens you can easily reinstall those apps through TitaniumBackup. You can also have TitaniumBackup backup location to be your extSdCard and not on your phone, this way your backups aren't eating up space on the sdcard (internal sdcard)
I have frozen ( thru TitaniumBackup) all the apps you are talking about and I'm not having any problems.
Hope this helps!

rest assured, that every subsequent firmware release by samsung/verizon will lock down whatever exploits we are using even more.
Summary of my system: I have a SPRINT SPH-L720T MK5 4.3 model phone. I am rooted with k1mu SafeRoot and have about twelve system apps (including the touchwiz launchers) frozen with Titanium backup. I use nova launcher as my primary launcher. I wish to remain rooted and according to things I read on the saferoot thread, I cannot receive OTA updates while apps are frozen, yet I received new notification this morning on my phone that says "System Update Downloaded. Touch to install".
I read the thread. I froze FWUpgrade. Not sure what SDM stands for, and I don't see a SDM in the list but when I type SDM in the filter it brings up a service called "System Update 1.8.8". I froze it also, assuming it's the right one.
I restarted the phone and the "System update downloaded. Touch to install" notification is still on my screen.
1) Is there any way to get rid of the notification after it has already spawned? I don't want to accidentally click on it at a later time.
2) and Is there any way to tell what the update actually is before launching it? Maybe it's not 4.4 and I can launch it.

I went to the top of the tree and found the cache folder but there were no sub folders (i.e. "fota"). I also ran a search on the entire tree for a "fota" folder and did not find one. I also ran a search on the entire tree for "update.zip" and didn't find one.
Is it possible, that my freezing the "FWUpgrade" and "System Update 1.8.8" automatically removed the fota folder and the update.zip? That seems unlikely.
or is it possible that I'm dealing with a completely different update (perhaps it's not 4.4, maybe it's something else all together)?

Ran a search across my whole device for OTApkg.zip. No file found.
Please allow me to restate a few things:

2) On my Sprint SPH-L720T Tri Band phone, I do not have a "SDM" app process. When I type "SDM" in my titanium backup, it brings up a app process called "System Update 1.8.8". I don't know if I should have froze this, but I did.
3) I ran a search across my whole device for *.zip to return all .zip files. I did find a "/system/etc/security/otacerts.zip". Not sure if I should do anything with that.

Also, I am rooted. I used your saferoot two months ago. I just went into my file manager app and found a root option. I turned it on and the file manager app requested super user privilege which I granted. Now I can see sub folders under cache, but none of them match your description.
I do see a obvious file called " 0de568e284baa2bbcb25305b099be7cc415386de.USER_L720T_SPT_MK5_to_NAF_Update_FWD.zip". See enclosed pic.
I moved it to my sd card. Do you think I'm OK to press the update option now to make it go away?

Hide software upgrade notification
Hello -
It's my first post but I have used the forums very often for rooting my phone, installing safestrap, ROMs, and most recently safely installing OC1 on my Verizon S4. So now my phone has downloaded OF1 and is constantly reminding me to upgrade. How can I disable these reminders before I accidentally click on the notification and upgrade and lose root etc. I'd rather not upgrade at all to be honest as it's just a lot of work to reinstall everything etc.
Any help would be appreciated!

I don't know if the files are the same but I'm running NK1 on KitKat and I just renamed SDM.apk (I think) to SDM.bak and there was another one.. I dont know if its nessisary. I think SDM is enough. Just go in some root explorer and rename it. Should make it shut up.

Awesome! Renaming the SDM file did the trick! Now the question is what is SDM.apk?
