NOTE: These rooting methods may not work after you install the OTA.
Use Amon Ra recovery to install superuser
This should give you root for ICS Here
Perm Root Method - Gingerbread only
If you unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev.com then use the OneClickRoot with pure zergRush for perm root exploit
Download - OneClickRoot
Once you are perm rooted you can use the disable, enable, Wireless Tether and adblock options in the tool.
===============================================================================
Temp Root Method
Use the root option in the Tool which is only good for temp root with the locked bootloader.
===============================================================================
Tool
New version of temp root to make it easier to use with more options.
Menu driven including:
Temp root
Disable and enable application and other packages
Wireless Tether
Ad block
See screenshot below for all options.
Temp root now holds until reboot.
Disabled applications hold until enabled.
Updated and Working:
Latest zergRush package
Latest adb inline
Latest Superuser and su binary are installed if not already installed
Latest busybox
Thanks to scrosler for the idea of including the application disabling as part of the tool.
Thanks to con247 and meizu devs for the zergRush script that persists until reboot
NOTE: If this does not work for you try scrosler's or con247's versions. Subtle difference may make one or the other work better for you.
Instructions:
Extract all of zip file to your PC
Open folder (do not rename files folder)
Reboot your phone
Make sure HTC Sync is not running on PC
Connect phone in Charge only mode
Double click TempRootTool.bat
Run your choices and exit
Mount SD Card in Settings > SD and phone storage
Have fun.
NOTE: If you do lose root reboot first then reapply.
Menu Options:
1) Temp Root Device - Will temp root your phone and install Superuser if it is not already installed
2) Disable applications - Will disable applications in your application list
3) Enable applications - Will enable applications in your application list
4) Edit Applications List - Will put the application list in notepad for editing (currently set for the bloat I disable)
5) Install Wireless Tether
6) Install ad block host file
R) === Reboot your Device === - Will reboot your device. Reboot if you don't need temp root after managing applications
H) Help - Help information
ENTER - Exit
Download Temp Root Tool v2
Ill try it on Wednesday when I get the device. Atleast we can use titanium.
One thing I was thinking is there any way we can boot into custom recovery with temp root? Because I know on one phone that I rooted for someone it would just reboot into a temporary custom recovery from which stuff could be flashed. Obviously if it boot looped you needed to RUU restore but it was worth the trouble to get root.
is this wireless tether app susceptible to verizon identifying unauthorized wifi tether use? I know on other devices only certain ROMS are safe.
Just tried this. Unfortunately it doesn't work at all for me. I tried running Cache Cleaner NG and it said that it was unable to get root permissions. I tried clicking on SuperUser (the app itself) and it FCs every time.
EDIT: Rebooted and tried again and it appears to be working.
EDIT2: Not working again. Seems to only last a few minutes.
Alright enough is enough. Imma try it.now. all this talk about root is driving me nuts. Thanks Nils..

I tried to get temp root using the zerg technique, and it didn't work too good. I want to try this method, but I'm not sure how to remove the Superuser from my first attempt. It doesn't show up as an uninstallable app. Can anyone shed some light for me? Thanks!
its worked for me! though it still didnt mount the SD, so i took off the back lifted the battery a LITTLE and used a paper clip to slide out the sd and then to slide it back in. then i went to TI and it didnt want to work, so i uninstalled and reinstalled both, and then it worked. now i have everything frozen that i wanted.
The first try it worked but something didnt go through so i reboot the phone tried it again and worked like a charm. thank you greatly appriciated

You know, you can go into SETTINGS>SD & Phone Storage and remount it that way... for next time.
I tried this and mine also unmounted my SD Card and Titanium didn't have root access. Uninstalled Titanium and the phone rebooted on its own and is now in a an infinite boot loop. Guess I am going to have to use HBOOT, wipe the phone and start ALL FREAKING OVER AGAIN! fml

To answer this question, yes they do!!!
So let's start a "What can we safely freeze" list. I was pretty conservative the first time:
Blockbuster
Backup Assistant
VCast
VCast Music
Let's Play Golf
Need for Speed
Rebooted and they're all still gone. Root has been lost though, I'd have to re-run the app to get root back.

I am having the same issue with applying the update, root installs fine and when I reboot root is gone, along with Superuser, Busybox, etc. installed it a few times and every time I reboot root gets lost.

Thats the whole point of TEMP root. When you reboot, Root is GONE. You have to Re-root every time you reboot your phone.
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!

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.

Whoa! So far, so good. I did what you said on my E4GT ( the receivers were named slightly differently, but it was obvious enough). I've tried dozens of "fixes" with no luck, this one just might hold. (crosses fingers).
Thanks!!
from the play store d/l es file manager, go to /system/app/ and delete LGFOTA.apk, no more update nags,
don't forget to go into /cache/ to delete the update zip
I can't seem to find which program to freeze in Titanium Backup. Any ideas out there?
Have any 10e root users accepted the update? Do you lose root even with Voodoo Keeper?
Thanks!
You can try freezing 'lgfotapermission' app using Titanium Back up. It's just my guess. No guarantees. YMMV.

LGSetupWizard 4.3.013

Thanks - I found it, and froze it, however I'm still getting the notification. Even after reset. Odd.
I believe the update check code is embedded into the settings apk. It will need to be re-compiled to prevent this.
If we knew what URL the device is getting its updates from we can block it with a hosts entry.
I found some info here on disabling the update notification for anyone who is still interested.

It looks like you need to freeze these two apps in Titanium Backup:

I simply unchecked following option and I think it stops future OTA Notification.
Settings >>> About Phone >>> Software Update >>> Check Automatically (Uncheck this)

Doesn't seem to work as update notification is still popping up on my P769.
This is how I stoped my phone from updateing and nagging. ( Must be rooted )
1. Download and install ( system tuner apk from playstore )
2. Launch system tuner and choose ( system with the red icon )
3. Choose (Google services framework ) and hit (details)
4. Scroll down to services and uncheck ( update.systemUpdateService
Thats all.

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 rooted my MD7 GS4, and Recently (re)discovered Xposed Modules. I figured, hey why not. I wanted as much of a stock experience as possible, but stupid little things like the Text Messages on the lockscreen bothered me.
After downloading and installing Xposed and Wanam, and rebooting, my phone seems to not get any service for a few minutes before finally getting cell service. while searching, at times it will even ask me to switch to global mode? and if I press cancel, sometimes "Sorry, com.android.phone has stopped" and it will freeze. sometimes it wont force stop and then my cell data FINALLY comes on.
I have since deleted and uninstalled Wanam, Xposed, removed the framework, and still having the issue. I just cant figure out what it may be.
I had the same issue. When you install wanam, it makes a backup of the features.xml file and removes most of the original text from thr file in /system/csc. Go there, see if there is a backup (will be called features.xml.bak and should be about 15 KB or so) and rename it to features.xml after deleting the current features.xml. Reboot. Voila. Profit.

Unfortunately, it still does not work. I deleted the new and renamed the .bak and now I'm still stuck on no service, and process stopped.
took about 6 minutes for cell service to come on.
I am having same problem since installing framework and related modules. Not having same length of delay but it's long enough to get attention. Sometimes it asks for SIM card to be installed. Still reading and searching for solution. Wiki check back later.

I am finding this with the latest update 1.4.5. I TiBU back to 1.4.3 and don't see the problem. Then I used TiBU to not allow Wanam to auto update and all is well.
I found the same problem with Wanam or xTheme whenever I make changes with it and I just reboot and service comes right back. Or just don't use a soft reboot

I have the same device, with the same issues after installing Xposed and Wanam. None of the suggestions here worked for me. However, for me, normal operation resumed after deleting Wanam and the Xposed framework. I'd love to find a solution to this, so I could use the Xposed & Wanam.

Even deleting it didn't fix it for me. I ended up unrooting and going back to stock. Since then move stayed stock unrooted. If I can't get a ROM then I might as well stay safe

I know I am repeating myself but if you follow these steps you will be fine.
1) Apply whatever you want.
2) Exit out of whatever you are applying to home screen
3) Use the power button reboot option - Do Not use the reboot options in the xPosed modules
4) If you don't have signal bars in a few seconds when the lock screen come up just reboot with power again
Side note: Do not install or activate any more than 1 thing at a time. For example, install xPosed, reboot, install, Wanam, reboot, make selections in Wanam, then reboot. All reboots from the power button.

I followed all your rules as I tried this again today, and still not having any luck. I have narrowed my problem down to the installation of Wanam. I did a reboot between each step of installing the Xposed framework, and had no issues there. Yet, after installing Wanam (and before activating the Wanam module) upon reboot, the phone cannot find cell service for at least a few minutes after booting up. Rebooting again (and again and again) makes no difference.

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 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?
