AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge G935A
I rolled back from 7.0 to 6.0.1 stock OS (just wanted to spoof on Pokemon Go)
however, I keep getting this issue where i can't disable the OS from wanting to get the OTA system update. I remember in 7.0 it was in developer options, and i couldn't find it there.
Any ideas? Thank you!
Edit: I ended up going into dev options, and killing "AT&T Software Update" process. I'm assuming that'll last until the next reboot since the process hasn't kicked back up again since (about 8 hours now), so I'm hoping that it'll stay that way. Fingers crossed! I will continue checking back here for potential fixes, because I feel as if just nixing a process isn't a permanent solution.
Install BK Package Disabler, and then disable packages containing "SDM" in their names. While for some people, disabling "com.wssyncmldm" works. You can install an older apk if the newer versions do not allow disabling them.
Alternatively, if you do not want to install an app, you can disable packages using command line. For eg.
adb shell
pm disable com.wssyncmldm

I just received my J5 Create JUC600 Android Mirror Control device and follows all the instructions to mirror my Verizon Galaxy S4 to Windows 7. During the connection process, it stops and the shield icon notification on my Android says it blocked an app from attempting to reach a restricted area.
I've searched everywhere on the forums trying to solve this, I hear there a bugs in the Samsung KNOX app causing this message to pop up frequently. I went in the app manager and force stopped all KNOX activity and it the connection still gets blocked.
I set the Android to allow apps from unknown sources and checked the debugging mode on. I even did a factory data reset on my Galaxy S4 as I heard this help some users fix a bug in the 4.3 update. Still no success.
Please help! Thanks everyone!
You need ROOT

Bare in mind, the following will void your warranty and failure to follow instructions explicitly could very well brick your device. That being said...
If you haven't already done so, you need to root your phone (instructions can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963806).
Installing SuperSU or Superuser (I highly recommend SuperSU) which ever you prefer will initially fail due to KNOX, easy enough, Go to "Settings", "More", "Application Manager", scroll right to "All" and forc stop each of the four instance of KNOX (as well as clear data where applicable). Go back to your apps list and run SuperSU (or Superuser if you chose to do such). Please note that I do use and have only ever used SuperSU so I am personally not sure if Superuser will work the same. When you start SuperSU it will notify you that ROOT has been blocked by KNOX and ask if you wish to disable it. Select yes, you will have to repeat the steps above afterwards to force stop all instance of KNOX and clear all data. Restart your phone and run a ROOT verifier of your liking to verify that you have ROOT. After this process is complete your J5 Android Mirror will finally work for you.
Samsung phones running 4.3+ with JUC600
Samsung phones running 4.3 and higher have the signal from the JUC600 cable blocked. The latest firmware version will prompt the installation of a different USB driver called the AoA driver in order to get around this issue. As long as the cable's firmware has been updated to 14.01.0124.00.00 and the software has been updated to match this driver should install automatically. You may need to cycle through USB connection types in order to get that driver installed correctly. There will be a notification on the phone's screen that asks if you want to allow juclink to run and you will need to hit ok. From there the mirror should work.
Hi all,
I just got an S5 today and it has KitKat 4.4.2. I accidentally clicked on the "Software Update" button in the "Settings>About Device" page and it started downloading Lollipop OTA. I couldn't find any way to stop the download. I have no intention of upgrading to Lollipop any time soon, so now I'm stuck with nearly 1GB of wasted space and an annoying nag to update.
I've been looking through this forum and it seems like the only ways to get rid of the nag and clear out the downloaded update require a rooted device. I prefer not to root my device so I'm wondering if there's any way to get rid of the nag and the downloaded OTA update without rooting. Do I pretty much have to do a factory reset?
If factory reset is my only route, will the OTA update just get automatically pushed back out and downloaded to my phone in a few days or weeks? If so, there wouldn't seem to be much of a point in doing a factory reset if the update will just come back. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John

In my case, disabling "Software updater" or something similar in Application Manager stopped the auto update (you can verify by tapping on "Software update" in settings again and nothing should happen).
Thanks for taking the time to respond. The post you linked was one of the articles that I looked at previously. The suggestions in the post seemed to only be applicable to rooted devices so I wasn't really able to use them. But thanks for linking it nonetheless.
In the Application Manager, I see two "System Update" applications. One can be turned off but other can't so I guess by default that that will be the one I'll stop. When I try to turn "Software Update" off, it gives me a nasty warning about stopping a system app and causing instability. Has turning off that application caused any instability on your device?
Also, all of these suggestions deal with how to prevent the OTA from downloading, but do you know of any way to get rid of the update and free up the space once it's already downloaded? I accidentally downloaded the OTA update and I'd like to remove it and have the phone not download it again. Will I have to do a master/factory reset in order to get rid of the update?
Thanks again for your help.
That nasty warning appears every time you try to disable ANY app, not just this one, and I've disabled a bunch of default bloatwares without any side effect. So you can just go ahead and disable it. As for the downloaded update, I would suggest using a file manager to list all files in the internal storage and sort by size, it would likely be the biggest file.
Thanks for the advice, Master 619. I tried using a file manager, as you suggested, but the file is not showing up. I'm pretty sure it's because my device isn't rooted and that file is in a protected area so I can't get to it. I'm figuring that I'm just going to have to do a master reset and then disable the "System Update" application.
I'm getting Install System Update page / application appear on my device. I still haven't updated to 5.1 because I'm afraid it will break my tethering. How do I get rid of this screen? I'd prefer to do it from the phone and or through adb, since I don't have a windows computer handy.
I think somehow the update was forced. I kept it at bay for months. then one day, it seemed to update itself. Thought there was a method to block the System Update screen, but can't get any help here.

just bought myself an Ulefone T1 from aliexpress and I am wondering if there is any lineageos development out there for this phone? Is anybody planning to develop for this?
cheers
JohnnyT
Stay tunned. The phone is new and development will yet. Dont worry is a great phone and Ulefone is better than yesterday.
https://www.needrom.com/category/ulefone/t1-ulefone/
It will hardly receive official updates, let alone custom ROMs (same fate as the 96% of MediaTek devices out there).
any update . i just bought this phone from banggood. my asus zenfone 3 wifi is failing. so needed something to fill the gap
Finally received my t1 after 11 weeks of waiting!!
Everything works fine apart from the battery usage which is a round 10% per hour on standby with no usage!!
FOLLOW-UP
Following lots of research found that Whatsapp was still trying to verify the phone thru SMS and was draining the battery. Uninstalled and re-installed Whatsapp and verified by manually entering SMS pin.
Now appears to running okay at just over 2% per hour battery drain with bluetooth and GPS set on.
i think i got a thud. reboots when connected to 5g wifi and sometimes when doing stuff on the phone. what a POS phone. never again ulefone!
I am very happy with my T1. High performance, loads of RAM and storage in a decent looking dual SIM package for a very reasonable price tag. First official OTA update yesterday. Also there are rumors about 8.0 upgrade till end of the year.

Mine does occasional reboot. I think its when my mail app is in 'recent apps'. When I clear recent apps. The phone seems more stable, but it's early days.
If anyone finds a fix, please post to the group.
I had my first ota update so that was a plus although it didn't solve the rebooting or activate the 'so called' second camera.

Do you have yours rooted and your bootloader unlocked? I am getting the update prompt but being unlocked and rooted I'm not sure it will take the update. Some phones tend to brick. Also all of a sudden I am having an issue with "android process.media has stopped" Can't figure out what's causing it but since it started the device has become quite laggy
Mine is not rooted. Its still as out of the box. I have rooted previous phones but find that some of the apps I want to use won't run on rooted phones, like certain banking apps. I don't know if the restarts are an Android 7.0 symptom or hardware/software based. There are so many different views on this it's almost impossible to figure out the causes. For me I keep trying different app and phone settings in the hope that something eventually solves the issue. Maybe a future firmware update will sort it. I live in hope (but don't hold your breath). More likely a new phone will be acquired at some point!
by any chance any of you have gps problems in waze or maps????

you need to proper root with magisk. and only use magisk, not other super user apps.
with magisk hide you can cheat banking apps or any app thinking the phone is not rooted.

Thats useful to know. Many thanks
Made Lineage 14.1 work on my Ulefone T1 (adb shell hacked)
Hi everyone,
i've been digging around for the last few weeks on my T1 and now i've finally made it boot. I dont know exactly what is working and what not but i can tell WLAN is NOT working for now! The kernel repo at my github was not working so i used the stock one. You may download it as well as the TWRP recovery i made alongside the ROM. But you need to wipe /data partition so all user data is lost in the process. Also while TWRP needs a reboot after wiping /data step 2 & 3 may need to be repeated once. For now i was not able to flash and boot the recovery (working on it) but it can be booted into as follows (when booted into the stock system):
UPDATE: Made it work - it's booting without hacking via ADB-Shell. The parts marked --- obsolete --- are not needed any more.
1.) Disable OEM-Lock in Developer-Options (google if necessary how to do that)
2.) Reboot and keep the upper volume button button pressed until it booted into recovery. If the "no command" screen is displayed, press the power and upper volume button together once again and you shuld reside in the stock recovery. Use it to reboot into fastboot (bootloader).
3.) In fastboot mode, while beeing in the same folder as the downloaded files, type the following:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
4.) Wait for TWRP to boot up and enter the following (within the same folder):
Code:
adb push lineage-14.1-*-UNOFFICIAL-t1.zip /sdcard/
5.) Finally you may flash the Lineage zip file in TWRP (if you have wiped your /data partition at least i needed to)
----------------------------------- obsolete -----------------------------------
6.) Let it reboot into system and while displaying the Linage bootanimation (for now) i had to execute a few commands on adb shell. So, with adb installed, you need to enter the following commands in a common linux/windows shell:
adb shell /vendor/bin/nvram_daemon &
adb shell /system/bin/nvram_proximity &
adb shell /vendor/bin/nvram_agent_binder &
adb shell /system/bin/agoldnvram &
adb shell /system/bin/audioserver &

I'm not sure if they are all needed but afterwards my T1 bootet up correcty (more or less). Unfortunately a few drivers are missing as it seems while WLAN is not working for now.
http://d0ndroid.janeiskla.de/lineage-14.1-20180928-UNOFFICIAL-t1.zip
and the recovery
http://d0ndroid.janeiskla.de/recovery.img.
----------------------------------- obsolete -----------------------------------
After fixing another few things the only remaining things i found not working are fingerprint & RIL but I'm looking into that right now. The current builds will always be uploaded to:
http://d0ndroid.janeiskla.de/
The sources i used besides the default Lineage ones are on github:

Have fun! And let me know if you make progress on your own

Hi d0n22, are you still working with this rom?
I am having some issues with the G9 I am working with. I have root using the latest Magisk. But every time a "security update" installs and reboots the phone, I lose root. So I go back into fastboot and reflash the boot img. That solves the problem. But it is a minor nuisance I am trying to workaround. I have tried searching for days, trying to figure out how to STOP system updates. I installed a root service disabler and disabled a few different services.
I still cannot seem to figure out what service is downloading updates. I have already gone into Developer Options and disabled automatic updates. And there was an update waiting that I kept paused. Last night I got the popup reminding me about it. And it was supposed to "remind me later". But instead installed it in the middle of the night.
I could care less about opinions on whether or not to allow updates. I would just like to know what service or file I need to cripple to get it to stop. I want to decide if or when something runs on my phone. Any ideas? Android 9.
And you will lose root after update, it's normal

If you are using a G9, not a G9 Pro, could you please link me to the stuff to root it?
