Help with stopping OTA Update P769 to V20H - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

My phone is running v20f, I have rooted and done various tweaks, so I do not plan on updating to v20h. My phone is notifying me of the update every 10-40 minutes. I tried the method of freezing the com.lge.lgfota.permission and I successfully did that, but could not find com.lge.omadmclient to freeze as instructed in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37433783&postcount=10
Is there any way to stop the notifications? It literally runs every 10-40 minutes and has for 2 straight days.

You could try this but I can't guarantee anything.
A couple days ago I downloaded the update from v20f to v20h. Rebooted but for some reason it failed to restart; got the Droid with exclamation mark in the stomach (possibly due to Voodoo rootkeeper??). I removed the battery for a few minutes and then booted. The update was not installed and the phone has been running v20f ever since with no notifications. It won't even let me update manually. It may be that when you download the update the server records your phone's info and won't let you download it again. ?? In short, take the update and before it reboots remove the battery for a while. Again, no guarantees.

That stopped it showing up in the Notification Bar, but not the popup. It still shows up.

I wouldn't disable it, but what about freezing it? That should stop the information dataPush.

Will that cause adverse effects on future updates? Isn't that what updates the play store and what not?

Our phones don't brick
TO THE OP TRY THIS
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.SystemUpdat e" receivers. I can't read my own handwriting at the moment, but they both end in SystemUpdate.

Well what I did was freeze com.lge.lgfota.permission in Titanium Backup and then I used Root Explorer to find LGFota.apk in \system\app and changed it from LGFOTA.apk to LGFOTA.bak. Then I let the update run which will give you the dead android and it shoul solve your problem. Well now that I'm thinking about it the apk is the one that reboots your phone until recovery so if you change it then you will have to just power off your phone and you should be fine.

When I tried to change lgfota.apk it says I can't because it's read only. Suggestions?

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.

How to "control"/block OTA updates

Hi Guys,
It seems there is a 20h update coming, and I was wondering if there is a way of blocking or "preventing" an OTA update with our P769 ?
My P769 (20f) is rooted (using LGPWN method) and it seems that this can make the OTA fail (I have Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper just in case) and so it means that you'll have to go through the whole process of flashing if it fails... which is not too bad, but still...
So, is there basically a way of saying "yes" or "no" to an OTA ?
Thanks for you help :good:
Any idea ?

If you dig deep in the old threads you might find something. However, if I'm not mistaken none of them worked.
Thanks for the reply :good:.
I guess I'll have to deal with the OTA, and see what will happen.
the way it was done was using titanium backup to freeze two items having to do with ota. it worked. i did it and it was glorious. i will update this in a second when i find it

Wish I'd found this thread ages ago, I just used System Tuner to disable the update alerts in Google Services Framework. Wouldn't recommend it, caused a bunch of crashes.
Can't be switched off in the settings (about phone/check for updates)? Or set this to manual? I'm on CM now and I don't remember anymore for stock rom

Has anyone had success with this? I froze the first app - com.lge.lgfota.permission. As for the second app - com.lge.omadmclient, I don't have it on my phone.

Well, I may have found a work around...
My phone and my wife's phone are both rooted with bloat removed. On the first phone, I went ahead and told it to install the update and reboot knowing it would fail. After I got the dead droid, I pressed and held power until it shut off and then powered it back on. I have not seen the update prompt since. That was about a week ago. I went ahead and did the same thing to the other phone and have the same results (no update prompt). YMMV

Scratch that. The wife's phone started asking to update again. The steps above only give about a week's reprieve.

[HOW TO] Disable OTA Update (G-Note 3) Notifications!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The user lordazoroth originally posted this method here in the T-Mobile SGSIII forum. However, I have confirmed that it works with the Note 3 (at least with the Verizon variant) with one small difference. Feel free to give us both a "THANKS" if this helped you out.
You can disable the OTA Update notification by following the steps below. Just be aware that there is a small change in STEP #3.
Solution:
Step 1. Delete the update located in /cache/fota/ (may be /data/fota) and then click the update notification prompt to install it, it will instantly fail and the notification will disappear. (My phone rebooted and tried to install the update - this is the point where my Note 3 gave the update failed notification. I just rebooted the phone and went to STEP #2.)
Step 2. Disable otacerts.zip located in /etc/security by renaming it to otacerts.zip.bak
Step 3. Disable FotaClient.apk and FWUpgrade.apk by renaming with .bak extensions located in /system/app/
Step 4. Reboot
(NOTE: The difference in STEP #3 for the Galaxy Note 3 is that the [FotaClient.apk] is named [LocalFotaClient.apk] instead of just [FotaClient.apk]. All of the other steps are the same.
Continue running JB 4.3 and enjoy your Note 3 without that nagging update notification!
But the kitkat update is awesome... so you might want to reconsider doing this

Wouldn't just freezing the "SDM" app do the trick? And possibly "FWUpgrade", although i heard that just SDM works

I got the annoying OTA update today... I DON'T WANT TO UPDATE!!! Why can't they give us an option instead of forcing it down our throats?
Is there any way to disable the update WITHOUT ROOTING? I read everywhere you need ROOT ACCESS to delete the SDM.apk FILE and such. I can't delete it without root.
How can I get rid of the annoying update WITHOUT ROOTING or what is the easiest way to gain root without wiping out everything and starting over?
As of this morning...Verizon seems to be trying to "ram the update" onto your note 3
I was rooted and safestrapped on MJE and when I unplugged my phone from the charger this morning...I had a notice that the update failed to install.
I had previously downloaded, but removed the download.

No way of knowing how far it got. If it was able to get the bootloader nailed in...yes. Screwed. Welcome to kk. If not, whatever you do will wipe at this point.
Safest bet to try and see if you can retain jb is with odin...if it lets you. If it does, great. If it doesn't, you still need odin because you just interrupted a firmware update and probably just soft bricked your phone. So you'll need odin to put kk on your phone.
--
If niether of these things look good, they aren't. So try this first. Try booting to recovery. If you can, it's possible you just saved yourself from learning to use odin. Do a factory reset and reboot. See if it boots to jb. If it does, root asap. If not (it just hangs forever or loops), you're bricked. Try to odin jb. If it keeps failing, you're stuck with kk and you need to odin kk.
If you can't get to recovery and just hangs or loops, odin jb or kk. Whichever it lets you.
If it doesn't let you boot to recovery because it continues to upgrade, at this point let it. This is the ONLY possible scenario that you will keep anything.
Mind you, everything I just covered will never touch any files on external sd memory.
This is a lot to process. So take your time. Good luck!

GRRR it installed Kitkat successfully. I'm SO MAD.. I should have set the annoying OTA notification for a different time so that it wouldn't constantly pop up every second... I would have been home free rooted on Jellybean if it weren't for the STUPID UPDATE.
So can I still DOWNGRADE to Jellybean and be rooted? or did Verizon LOCK or restrict stuff with the update? Can I go back to Jellybean keeping all my files?

I read that too... I can't believe one simple tap mistake ruined my whole first time rooting adventure... Using KINGO was so easy and right when I WAS ABOUT TO DELETE THE STUPID SDM file in the system folder, the update popup came up and accidentally hit the UPDATE And it just rebooted instantly!! I hate how they don't even allow you to cancel or anything... like totally forcing it in your face!!
I still have SuperSU but no longer functions it says "There isn o SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"
So there's no way to have root access now?? I can't flash back to Jellybean??? Verizon/Samsung really screwed us here. There must be a way to have root access in Jellybean... I don't care for custom roms... I just want root access!!

So it would be pointless for me to try to use Odin to flash back to stock Jellybean and then KINGO? It won't even flash back?
I did successfully root before OTA installed Kitkat on mine... does that make any difference?

Unfortunately no. Once you have nc4 loaded you cannot go backwards.

Hey there! I have the Korean F400k10g version ( which i downgraded to because the 10l version wouldn't root ).. any idea if this would this root the 10l? Rooting the F400k10l ( which is the latest version in Korea ) failed on all popular rooting software.. :good::good:
Hey thanks for the post! I went ahead and downloaded and started the "grind" and it gave me a message that it had to bruteforce. And it could take 10 minutes, is this normal? I do have the Verizon version btw and everything is stock as,I just picked,it up yesterday. Thanks!!

Yes, had to bruteforce my VZW G3. Worked perfectly. Remember to uninstall Stump after you've installed SuperSU and rebooted once to be sure all is good.
Worked perfectly!
I'll confirm, I did this w/my Verizon G3 when I got it about a month ago and it worked perfectly. Been able to use apps like TiBu, root explorer, greenify, g3tweaks (donated), etc with no issues.
I did have to Brute force, and it took about 3 minutes IIRC.
Another confirmation that it worked. Now off to the main thread to give more thanks.
Had to unroot the device, now when I try to root using this method I get "Phone not supported".. Any ideas?

Think you should be able to brute force.

Try downloading it to your computer, and sideloading it to your phone.

Thanks for posting this. My GFs face will be priceless when I unbox my G3 tomorrow morning from Amazon, and go to this page, and root it within minutes of it's first startup.....
Some oddities with this apk:
* Wants permission to pass queries to Maluuba (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maluuba.android&hl=en)
* Wants to manage IPsec connections - why would a root app need to establish a vpn connection?
* Wants permission to Google Now Remote Access
All of this seems fishy... so the app could remote into my phone via an encrypted VPN (so no trace of the source), and do whatever - including screen my search queries...
I don't think so.
I want to do this to my GF's G3 but is there a 100% way to get back to factory?I am not familiar with LG phones
after i run stump, can i uninstall the app? after the reboot, the phone was asking permission to uninstall... let me know thanks!!!!!

G3 Update

I just received a Android update in my notification menu. I am rooted and running a custom recovery (twrp). I know I cannot accept the update but I can't swipe it away. Anyone know how I can get the update removed from my notification menu?
Have you tried long pressing on the notification and disabling notifications?
I froze system update in ti backup I didn't have a pending update but I would try that
Is that file under. Com in tb?

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.

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.

You will need to use LG Flash tool if you are stuck in TWRP.

Downside: No Phone.
Upside: Nice weather!
From folks here in Chicago - no sympathy! :silly:
Good luck with the phone!

Lucky you. Good find. Glad you got it sorted. Now you can relax.
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.
