I keep getting update notifications for the 7/8/2011 update on my rooted phone. Is there any way to prevent the phone from asking to update?

I've never had it ask me and I've been rooted since the week the phone came out back in March. I assume you must have done something like go to "check for updates" at one time to trigger that.
Update to a better ROM that doesn't allow it to check for OTA updates!

Indeed. I've owned 3 different Android phones and have never seen an OTA update notification in person lol.
Very strange! Most of the time a rooted phone will not check for updates.

I rooted my phone back then also.
I'm not sure if it is the 7/8/11 update as it is the 73mb update. It started popping up Sunday or Monday and keeps asking me to update every morning. I did not press check for update.
To turn OFF future OTA updates, there is a file in the /system/etc/security folder. The file is named "otacerts.zip". Rename it "otacerts.zip.bak", or whatever you want. That will prevent future updates.

Can't seem to rename, move, delete, cut & paste, make new folder in that area. Any ideas on how to modify it?
Do you have Root Explorer installed? It should let you rename a file once you temporarily set the filesystem to r/w.

You need to have root explorer or a similar program to edit, then make sure you enable R/W in order to edit it because by default that's turned off since it's a core system file.

ha sorry.. someone already said that
I was able to rename it, but it still asks to update. Any idea?

It depends what the DEV does, most remove it.
idk what to say, sadly not much experience here on the TB. Maybe someone else has a fix.

but these people are rooted but still running stock.
I was wondering the same thing. Rooted TB with stock rom. I kept getting OTA update notifications, and got tired of hitting "reject" every few hours... Came in here, poked around, found this thread, and renamed \system\etc\security\otacerts.zip.
After a reboot, i went in "settings:sofware update" and hit "check new"... It found no new updates. Should be good now, I think. Will post again if it shows up again. Thanks guys.

Yep. Definitely update the Rom in order to prevent that from happening. Try finding a Rom with a later build.

I uninstalled the "system updates" file from my phone. It's a blue android icon & 3.4mb in size. Another forum somewhere discussed this and I believe that should work. I used an app called system app remover(pro) - it has a recycle bin and holds apps in there for you in case you need/want to re-install them later. Any root app delete should work just fine though.

You can freeze the update app, but an OTA won't work anyway with a custom recovery.
Does anyone have the ZVB tot. I see the ZVA-to-ZVB update zip but it say forbidden when I try to download that. For some reason I cannot get the update OTA... maybe it isn't pushed to the tower that I'm using yet?

autoprime had a secret source for the .tot.
But if mediafire won't let you dl the update, I can upload it for you if you want.

Where did you find the ZVA-to-ZVB update zip? My phone gets stuck at "rebooting now" when I try to apply the update normally, so I want to apply the OTA via ADB.

If you have TWRP installed use method A from the following thread. It will flash a pre rooted zvb image. Don't forget to upgrade your radio too.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm new to tinkering with the G3 (my daily driver is a Nexus 6), is a tot file the same as an OTA zip, or is it more of a factory image equivalent? I don't particularly want to root or install TWRP. I just wanted to use the stock reovery "apply update via ADB"

A tot is a factory image but you need your computer to install it.

Okay, I figured as much - is there a way like Nexus images to install without wiping? I looked briefly at the install process, and it seems you need a Windows computer? Thanks for being so helpful, I know this is OT.

I just got mine so I haven't unlocked bootloader yet, the OTA went smoothly.
I tried looking for the OTA.zip but couldn't find it.
It didn't even warn me before the reboot to apply the update...

Flash MP1 using *#*#1027#*#*, reboot to recovery, wipe data. Boot, update to mp2, reboot to mp2, take the mp3 update.
Do you have to reinstall all apps?

Guys some help please.
I sideloaded the 037 Nov update OK.
Just tried Dec A1 global OTA and got the attached errors. Will I be safe to reboot? Or how do I sort this?
I'm in the UK on a Google Store unlock P6
Just rebooted. Install failure was immediate so despite the warnings guessed I'd be ok. Thankfully I was
Can't figure out where I went wrong. Can anyone tell me why I got those errors?
I got essentially the same errors on my laptop, but it went fine on my desktop. Try a different cable and a different computer or a USB port that is on the motherboard.

You verified the md5 checksum after you downloaded it? The only other thing would be you flashed the wrong one for your device ... but I guess if it works, no point in continuing on right?

Might be the cable. Can't be sure if I used a different cable last time? It'll have to wait for another day now.
You try the google flash tool? If you're unlocked you could extract the factory image and fastboot update with the extracted Oriole zip

You should be using the A4 OTA file since you're in the UK

My understanding is that the A1 build is a Global build for Google Store bought unlocked phones which mine is.
Besides I tried A4 when A1 failed with the same result.
Pretty sure it's a cable issue.

That happened to me the 1st time I sideloaded the mid-nov update, it read the img but failed installing it.
Turned out that simply switching from the front left USB 2.0 to the front right USB 2.0 of my PC solved it and I was able to sideload properly. No idea how or why that would make a difference though but I guess that's technologie for you
Hoped the OTA worked come today and save me the hassle. Still not got it though in the UK. How long can it take to come through?

Rumor has it that if you sideloaded the mid-november update (037) you won't get an OTA at all.
No idea if that applies to you but if it does you should consider using the flash tool to see whichever update it shows you as Default, then sideload that one. That way future updates should be OTA again (as long as you're not rooted).

Yea V0latyle was faster lol - you need to use Chrome for that link though (or maybe Edge too), Firefox etc aren't supported.

Check this sub forum, there are 1 or 2 that are about the December update and I'm pretty sure users in both mentioned it somewhere.
If you flash 037 update you won't get ota for December update.
But it's better to stay on November patch level.
I'm on December and have bad connection.
Can't use phone call longer then 10 sec ...
