[testing][how to] stop ota notafication - Epic 4G Android Development

So far all is well. I don't wanna be reasonable for you messing up your phone so do at your own risk.
Using titanium back up I un installed system updater 1.0.0. Its been a couple hours and i haven't received a single pop up telling me there's an update. So far the only downside I see is when you goto menu> settings> about phone there isn't a system update tab anymore. This I can not update my software, profile, prl, android manually.
I suggest you make a back up of your current set up before doing so put freezing it in titanium backup premium
Well after making this thread is greeted with a update pop up. This thread us now void and useless

im still playing around to find the fix for people that aint running a di18 rom like my self. im running the di18modem and the mix kernel based on di18. im tired of seeing the ota pop up and my current rom hasnt been updated to di18 yet

um why would you want to stop the ota notification? just upgrade.

Have any of you guys flashed both this and noobnl's ROM? Currently Im running noobnls and its pretty stable so for. But it still has TouchWiz. So since Boss is suppose to run stock, can any of you tell me if Boss is as bug free as noobnls?
What custom kernel does this rom have. When I check settings>about phone>kernel version it says 2.6.29. Isn't that the stock kernel for DI07 or am I mistaking?
Since Andromeda Galaxy has shown me bad battery life thus far, I'll be testing this out when I get home. Is it based off of DI07? I know it says newest OTA in the OP, but I wanna be sure.

Is this kernel better than the stock one? noobnl said the stock one was better than his in his own thread or is this a new one?
I tried to flash this 4 times and it flashed ok. However, the problem that I'm running into is that my apps does not reinstall. I tried Mybackup Pro as well as Titanium backup. I even manually re-installed all my apps from the market. On all occasions, i get the message that everything was restored. But when I go to my app drawer none of my apps are there. I turn the phone off then back on and i get a black screen with the capacitive buttons lite up and it doesn't go any further than that.
have anyone else ran into this problem?
Was your last rom deodexed?

Look in the development forum and download the I897UCJF6 Odin One Click utility. This will bring your phone back to AT&T stock 2.1.
Also, when did ATT push Froyo?
I think he's mistaken it with JH7
<----- They sure do!
Watch flash back to stock using Odin and u will see the words firmware upgrade and as soon as it reboots look on settings about Phone and u see I'm telling the trhu u will see since u star setting up ur phone on google

Yeah, thats because it just comes right back shortly.
I was able to stop it. An hour later it has yet to start running. All stock here

I'm totally stock as well, and it came back pretty quickly. It may get re-activated if you use an app or such, but it definitely came back for me...
Oh well... after about 2 hours it came back... and now pops back on in seconds when I stop it
I guess no way to stop this with out root?

FACT: You can not disable it being on stock. To remove it you would need to root and flash a custom rom with it removed. Just letting you all know. Check out the skyrocketeer rom in dev section, its awesome
Also, for the people that are scared to root because of voiding warranty, there are two easy solutions.
1. Just unroot it, flash a stock rom or something.
2. Brick your phone by some means and if your rooted but it doesnt power on, they can not tell you rooted it. Just tell them you woke up and it was like that or something..

I am 100% happy Running Gummy FE 2.0 and want nothing to do with the GBE update.. Is there any way to stop the push? I am getting sick of clicking update later... Any help would be appreicatied.. Thanks !
You'll have to root your device, and rename/delete update apk file.

Hello.. And thanks for the quick response to my question ! I am rooted on Gummy 2.0 Froyo so I would just go into the system folder to find the file ?
Where exactly is the file to rename? I do not want the update either.

I would imagine its somewhere in /system/app should say vzwupdater.apk or something like that

Huh.... I always thought if the phone was rooted and running a custom ROM, you would never get OTA updates. Maybe that's only if you're running a custom Gingerbread ROM.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The OTA is supposed to check for an unrooted/unmodified system before allowing the OTA. Maybe it just fails to install but you still get the notification? If true, that would definitely be annoying. Don't blame people for wanting to disable it.

I'd like know as well. I'm happily rooted and don't feel like changing anything. A pop up has notified me about 10 times today. Only options are to Install now. Install later and more information which allows no further options. So I just hit install later only to be notified again randomly.

Hopefully, Someone can let those of us that do not want to update know where this update.apk file is located.. I know I can't seem to find it...
when I loaded up the debloated rooted package courtesy of Danalo I remember deleting remnants of something in root explorer along the lines of "vzwfroyoinstaller.apk" and something else with "vzwupdate(er)" in the name which could be the culprits, sorry I don't remember and when I was on froyo I hadn't received the OTA yet and didn't bother to check then got impatient and flashed the aforementioned rom lol
do a search in root explorer for "update" or "froyo" or even a generic one like "vzw", there's gotta be a suspicious looking updater apk somewhere in there

The new radios contained in this ROM update alone (which dramatically improves data connection stability) is the biggest reason alone to update to Gingerbread.
I used to have data drops and overall data instability like none other on EE4. 2.3.6 gives me the stability that I needed to keep a stable data connection while hopping from tower to tower while driving through my city. EE4? Forget about it, it never could hop from tower to tower without giving some kind of fit about it and that meant that you couldn't stream anything. I'd have to look at my phone every once in awhile just to force my streaming music app to make a reconnection and being that I drive through some cities that have a "no cell phone" law, I was risking a ticket (that and an accident).
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I haven't gotten a notification yet. Running EP4 debloated.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
If you're running anything other than bone-stock (no root, no VooDoo, no de-bloat, etc) EE4, the OTA will not apply.
In many cases, you won't even get the notification on a non-stock ROM, as it requires the InnoPath app to be there.
If you're on a custom ROM, the OTA does manage to get downloaded and you tell it to update, you run the risk of soft-bricking (boot loop) at worst. In the best case, you'll boot to custom recovery and it will ignore the update.
I just got off the phone with verzion to see if there was any way for them to stop the push... Upper Tech Support called Samsung and they said no.. That after 2wks the push should stop.. I am running Gummy Froyo 2.0 with the EP4 radios and we have 4G in my town and its as smooth as a babies ass.. Running Immoseyon's kernel in voodoo.. files are converted to EXT4 and setcpu has me at 1200 mhz 100% stable I don't want to loose what I got.. Everything Icons, Backgrounds, Go Launcher EX are all set up PERFECT So, I guess I am going to have to wait for the push to stop.. There is no "Update.zip" file that I can find through Root Explorer to delete to stop the push..
You can do NAND backup and Titanium Backup (for god's sake), then update. GingerBread is much faster then Froyo.

I am running a stock rooted kernel with stock rom. I keep getting the ota update. I am all backed up and going to try the ota in the am when my battery is fully charged. If not it won't be the first time I used imnuts [HOW-TO]Fix your phone....
YOU MUST be NOT rooted for the OTA to take place or it will break the phone and you'll have to use the "Fix your Phone" thread.
Froyo versus Gingerbread. If you thought your phone was fast with those tweaks on Froyo, just try applying them to Gingerbread. Five times better. Look at it this way... this phone was made for Gingerbread, the hardware, the features, the functionality, all of it was made for Gingerbread. Hell, the front-facing camera was made for Gingerbread. The only reason why we got stuck with Froyo was because they rushed the phone to market and by the time they wanted to launch it a Gingerbread build wasn't ready for it.
I took the ota this morning with stock rooted kernel and worked perfect. I must say trparky was correct about "dramatically improves data connection stability". I am really surprised how much this update helped out my phone.

How to stop OTA updates?

I searched and there seems to only be threads in the T-mobile section for the S3, or other phones (sorry if I missed one).
So normally when an OTA gets pushed out, we get a notification and have to accept the download correct? Well my last OTA to JB was downloaded and installed overnight while I was sleeping (never touched my phone). So I woke up and had JB installed.
At the time it didnt matter too much because I was bone stock, but it still irritated me, because what if I wasnt stock. Now Im rooted/ROM'd and dont want anything like that happening again.
So is there a way to block the OTA for a Vz GS3?
I see this app here in the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitrifle.otablocker&hl=en
but there are only 25 total reviews so im not sure how much faith I would really want to put in that.

OK three things if you upgrade to supersu pro you can go into survivor mode which will look to protect root at all costs. Secondly you could disable automatic updates in settings. And lastly there is an App now called voodoo ota rootkeeper which will allow you to back up your root and then you will be able to temporary un root take the ota and then restore root but bear in mind if you read the descriptions on the recently released roms they are set up to block ota update pushes
Let me know how you make out

Bold emphasis is mine. To delve into this a little further, the exact file that is removed by devs is called "sdm 1.0" which is a system app. If you use Titanium Backup (or really any file explorer) you can freeze or remove that file. Plenty of folks started doing this during one of our previous OTA's. Also, if the OTA installs but fails (usually because you have a custom recovery) you need to do the above step AND also go to /cache folder and delete the OTA from that directory. Here's an example.
As an fyi, doing this will result in your "Check for updates" option in Settings/ to force close but that is intentional.
Emphasis was unintentional as you can tell I am super new to all things development related see now I learned something new again thanks for the heads up brother and again did not mean to highlight any portion of text

Thanks guys. Im currently running the latest (4.1.2) milestone ROM from AOKP, so im really not sure if they bake blocking the OTA into their ROMs or not.
I do have MyBackUpPro and can freeze system aap, so ill hop in and see if I can find sdm. Im not expecting another OTA for a while, but I just really do not want it to auto install like it did previously.

Guess AOKP doesnt include the sdm 1.0 application. So im guessing it will not/can not auto update when they are pushed from Vz
