How to stop xperia system update form installing? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI guys.
I got a notification on my android 7 that theres an xperia system update. I click on it and it says 'ready to install'. Can this sfill be stopped?
I already long click the notification and used force stop so now the note is gone. However under settings about phone software update, it still says 'xperia update ready to install'. I then set download updates to off for both system and apps.
But now what..
Does this mean the system update is already in my phone and will be installed regardless?
Is there a way to stop it?

[Q] update notification

Guys, i have downgrade and root a xperia ray yesterday, but after that i have update notifications on my notification bar. Is there anyway to disable it? And what if i update it? Will i lost my root access? Thanks guys.
Sent from my E16i
for hiding the update notifications please clear data on updater. go to app and find updater and clear data.
but it will appear if you connect the internet for several times.
for permanently disable, just uninstal it by titanium or root explorer. just tap uninstal on updater apl.
if you update via your phone (OTA). it will not break your root. but if you update via PCC, you break it
Thanks mate. I really new to this ray, so many differences compare to my w8.

OTA System Update - I already have it! (How to stop the notifications?)

I have a Z2 running 23.4.A.1.264 (5.1.1) rooted. All's well up until today when Sony have deemed it necessary to inform me of an update... To 23.4.A.1.264!!!
I've tried using 'DisableSerivices' and disabling SystemUpdateService in Google Services Framework & Google Play Services - After reboot these are showing 'disabled', but problem persists.
I've tried using 'Autostarts', searched for 'systemupdateservice' and disabled when found under GSF & GPS - As above, all still disabled after reboot, but problem persists.
I've tried disabling 'Show Notification' via Apps>Google Play services - After reboot it is re-enabled.
Any ideas how I can get rid of this annoying system update notification I don't need?
Go to System/priv-App and delete UpdateCenter.
Works for me.
Download Root Uninstaller from google play, allow root and delete System Update https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp

I'll give it a go!
Edit: Removed the APK from the folder. STILL showing the update notification!
I tried the 'Root Uninstaller' and couldn't find 'System Update file.
After a LOT of messing about, I think I've found the culprit.
/data/app/com.sonyericsson.up.updatecenter-1/base.apk
I simply renamed (just in case I needed the file) base.apk to base.old and rebooted. No notification warning as of yet!

Did you make reboot ur phone after delete?
I noticed that when the update is small (this one said it was ~5mb), it will not break root. I just did the update and everything is fine after reboot.

I did wonder this, and it might have been my last option (the nag notification was doing my head in!)
(Still not received any update notifacation after doing my above alteration!)

WhatsApp Updates Automatic Download

Hi!
I'm new on this awesome forum, so I hope to post the thread in the right section.
I downloaded WhatsApp from the official site, not from Play Store. And I also disabled the option in the Play Store to prevent automatic updates of all apps.
Btw, whenever WhatsApp released an update, the .apk file is downloading automatically in "WhatsApp" folder on my device.
So everytime I open WhatsApp it keeps asking me to update until I tap "Ok".
Now my question is:
Is there a way to avoid WhatsApp from downloading these damn updates automatically?
Thanks for help.
no that is normal
i will explain
it will ask you to update if the whatsapp.apk still in whatsapp download folder
just when you update whats app and after installing the new one just delete or move whatsapp.apk from whatsapp download folder on your device

I always do this. But when a new update comes out, it appears in the folder again. Plus, every update "eats" 27 megabites from my data plan.
So I was wondering if there's something I can do to stop this automatic download of WhatsApp.apk.
badly the whatsapp team always force you to update the whatsapp automaticly or it will not longer work for you
so i think there is no way to do it
im my whatsapp.apk its ask me first to download the update
but if clicked later it will not work for me any more
stupid app

My .apk never asks me to download the update. It just does it automatically. And then it keeps annoying me asking to install the update.
Then, probably there's no chance in hell to avoid this thing.
Thank you anyway for helping me.

How To Manually Cancel Update .570 to .575...

My Z2 forcefully started the update from .570 to .575. I would like to cancel the update but have no option to.
When connecting to any wi-fi/data connection it automatically resumes.
I'm currently on 570 firmware, rooted with recovery and do not wish to update to 575 as I will lose recovery and root!
How can I manually remove the update? What must I remove in Root Explorer?
Thanks.
actually even the download completed , it will not update because u have root
don not worry
if you want to cancel the auto. update , go to About phone - Software update and select setting from the menu and cancel the auto. update

In the ''About phone'' menu, software update is missing, it is not there!
On the top of the screen I still have the notification ''Xperia system update'' followed by pending Wi-Fi network to continue.
Is there not another way to simply remove the update and stop it from continuing?
you can try go to settings, aplications, all, see app Update Software and Force Close
you can freeze software update with titanium backup

I have Titanium backup but I forgot about freezing the app. Thanks for reminding me to do so! ''System Update'' service now frozen!
Another option was - Disable app in Settings / App/ All /Update service app.

Remove the Update Center app.
It's located in /system/priv_app/Update_center(-release).apk
use any System Application Disable App from playstore, browse for software update , and disable it ..
i.e. if you don't wana remove / delete system component
