I unlocked and rooted my phone awhile back with 23.16.3.surnia_usc US cellular phone now with this security update that keeps nagging me and fails to update 23.201.2.en.US. Is there a way I can stop or remove this nag update? I have read in some places if I could get the update as a zip file that would take care of the issue. while in other forums they so no it won't work. Not really wanting to brick my phone, so any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank You

I woke up this morinng 6:45am CST to Verizon OTA update (4G) downloading. I am not very good with this stuff so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. My phone is rooted and running 2.2xx (S-off). I accepted the OTA and the phone rebooted only to leave the phone stuck at the HTC screen. I was able to recover and reflash old rooted rom. So the phone is functional now. I wish to be able to actually install this new OTA in case this is 2.3 coming down from Verizon. Can anyone tell me the steps I need to take to make this happen while leaving my phone rooted?
If leaving the phone rooted is not an option for receiving this OTA update, what steps should I take to make the OTA update complete successfully? Thanks in advance!

You can't do updates while rooted, if you want the update you need to unroot. I'm in Dallas too and I didn't get any update notification, weird.

This is pics of OTA
The updates are real...
Can you point me in the right direction to unroot?
THANKS!
That is the most recent update it is not a new one sadly. Right from VZ software update PDA it list Note: The size for this software upgrade is 73.5MB. Soon but not soon enough GB will be here.
That sucks... I find it odd that it just started bugging me overnight but I am (patiently) awaiting GB. Thanks for input.
Hey guys, I followed one of the tutorials on how to unroot your EVO 3D and bring it back to stock. Before I unrooted my phone, I kept getting a notification that an OTA update was available, specifically version 2.08.651.2 (August 18, 2011). Right now, my software number is 1.11.651.2. I want to update to the newer version, but when I go to Settings > System updates > HTC software update > Check now, it shows no updates are available. I've tried rebooting the phone and checking repeatedly. I'm kinda lost here and not sure what to do. I was wondering if the PG86IMG I downloaded to return to stock disabled OTA updates, but I highly doubt that since it's just a stock image. If I could find a download link to the updates, I could apply them manually through the bootloader. If not, I might suck it up and take my phone into Sprint and get them to see what's up and update my phone there. Either way, what do you think I should do? I want it updated though. Thanks in advance.
so u unrooted using the approved method and then tried to update to 2.3.4 via HTC but it would'nt find the update? Just wanna make sure u know that if u take this update ur only option is to root via HTC's unlocked bootloader which isn't a true unlock... secondly if that is ur desire and the stock image won't find the update then i would check ur source and make sure it's not missing something. I turned off my update check cuz once it checks and finds an update that little icon stays in ur taskbar unless u factory reset and i was waiting to root with teamwin's method so i didn't take the update. if i knew how to pull the image without updating id post it for ya...
Yes sir! I understand that updating my software to version 2.8.651.2 will prevent my phone from being rootable until somebody figures out a method to make it rootable. I have no need for rooting my phone actually. I tried out a few roms, and I would rather stick with a stock unrooted rom in case I ever need to take my phone into Sprint for service. The Sprint store where I live won't do any service to a rooted phone, so I need to be on the safe side. I went to the store today, and unfortunately the only people available at the time were sales representatives, so they were of no help. They just told me to wait and keep trying to update the phone periodically. If it doesn't show any updates within the next month, my only choices will be to either call Sprint and see if they can push the update to my phone or find an update image, transfer it to my phone, and manually update it through the bootloader. I also read on an EVO 4G thread that the phone won't update if it's missing SprintUpdater.apk. I doubt a stock rom would be missing that app though. I had the update notification when I was rooted, but I didn't download it because it would break my root, and now that I'm completely back to stock, I should get the notification. What gives? I wish Sprint would send out the updates all at once instead of in waves. Anybody wanna chime in?

Having the same problem. But i havent tried unrooting the phone.
Hello
I am using the droid DNA on GSM network. I am really bothered by the battery drain issue from the Camera App and just want to flash the new OTA update to see if it helps in fixing the problem. Since I am not on Verizon, the OTA update ICON in my phone is disabled. I searched the forums and couldn't come across any RUU Executable that can be used for the latest Stock ROM. I did find a thread for the old ROM. Can someone tell me how to update to the new Stock ROM? Any recommendations to overcome the Camera App battery drain issue also would be appreciated.
Thanks

There are several people who got the update that might trade you phones (if a phone is updated without being rooted/supercid before updating, then there currently is no way to root/supercid and s-off after the update).
If you root and s-off your phone, you can manually update your phone, now and in the future.
I also saw one report that removing the sim card, booting up the phone, and connecting to wifi, allowed his phone to download and install the update.
The third way is to wait for the update to get released/leaked in ruu format.

So i really need some help with this. My phone, like any other g3, had in the settings an option in the general tab for checking for updates. Well now for some reason that option is completely gone. And if Verizon does push out a Lollipop update i want to get it but i wont be able too because A. I'm rooted and i have custom recovery B. I no longer have any option choice for checking for updates C. Even if i try to do an ota update ill get caught in a boot loop. Now i remember at one point in time i did this trick i learned from here to get rid of the OTA update file/ notification but i didn't think that that would cause my phone to lose its option to check for system updates. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.
Thanks

Use the return to stock thread in the general forum. You need to be stock to get the update anyway, so there is no point in not doing it.

Second from the bottom on my phone
Check the ota option
But like you were told u should either flash back using tot or
Using your computer and LG mobile support tool or bzw upgrade assistant. Not the ota upgrade.
I've searched and searched and the only answer I've found was to disable system update service in Google Play Services which I did some time ago, but today I had to restore my wife's phone because it had downloaded and was attempting to install an update. Though I wouldn't mind an update per say I do not want to have to re-root and reinstall TWRP assuming it's even possible with the update so I'd soon not have them. Can someone please tell me how to stop this situation until I decide I actually want to update? Also any clues on how to actually update without the pain would be nice too. Thanks.
I've made a guide for this.
