I accidentally started downloading the 2.3.6 update and o don't even want to update because I want to keep root, anyway to cancel the download?
I am not sure if you have used CWM but i had done a nanodroid back up before i had pressed the update button. So i restored the old back up and now i have no problems with the update.
There's two steps to the update process- download and install. Once it downloads it asks if you want to install. You can say "no" and I think it will prompt you every hour or something. If you want it to stop prompting you to install the update, you will have to be rooted. You can either delete the update file (it's the only .zip file that's located in the /cache directory) or you can freeze the following apps: "2.3.5 updater and upgrader 1.0.0" (thanks unsivil_audio).

After rooting my new Nexus S 4G I inadvertently uploaded the GRJ90 (2.3.5) update file, but it has not installed. Now I'm being hounded by requests to restart and install the update.
Can I just locate the file, remove it, and continue on (and if so where is the file)? Or am I stuck having to install it and then re-root?
No. If you remove the file it wont matter. That is what a ota does. Notfify of the update over the air....
There is a way to stop it but just install it and rerooot. The time it took you to write your post you could have done the entire process.....
a few moments ago my tablet showed me the popup with the update to .23
i said cancel, to temporarily uncheck root, i did that, and went to about tablet, checked update, it appeared and i started it,
but then the dead android with red triangle appeared, rebooted, googled what the reason could be
i also faced this issues with the last updates, but tehn i found teh dlpkg file here, but right now there is none...
i have uninstalled some system apps like cmclient (although the update was found...) and other asus apps i dont use,
could that make the problems?
and after installing the dplpkgfile ( .20) which i have downloaded, because of the same issues, i received this update... (but it didnt work...)
can anyone help me to get ota back to work (google wasnt helpful, neither xda...)

Yes. All files that are patched by the OTA update *must* be in their original or already updated condition or the update will fail.
If you want to know which files you need, unpack META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script from the dlpkgfile (it's a normal zip file) and read all the assert lines - they list the required files with the expected SHA1 hashes.
Hope someone out there can help this noob out.
I have a Galaxy Tab GT-p5110. Yesterday I rooted it, installed Titanium Backup and did a full backup.
I then installed CWM and managed to install cm-10.1.3 and a package of gapps.
Very happy so far to get all the bloatware off the unit but there is no play store in the gapps package.
I cant install any apps, I have tried to do this via the browser. it says installing etc but the app never appears.
when I try to update the rom via settings/about phone CyanogenMod Updates it downloads the new ROM and reboots but then aborts the install. When I try to install a gapps package it says it cant verify the signature file.
I guess the main fault is the lack of Play Store, without it you cant do anything.
I have Odin and cant find a file .md5 or tar file to install.
Edit: I have since found i can drop the Play Store .apk file and install it from the sd card, this process worked but when i try to open Play Store, it opens momentarily, then closes......
Any help much appreciated.

1. Disable data packet/use airplane mode
2. Force Stop Playstore, clear cache n data
3. Go to the setting, clear account
4. Reboot
5. Open Playstore then login again
Nearly there

Hi nasheich and thanks for the reply.
I should have noted that i have a wifi only tab.
Went through your steps carefully a few times but Play Store still only opens for a brief second, then disapears, I didnt quite understand step 3, clear account. play store version is 4.3.10 and Android version is 4.2.2,
Kernel version
3.0.31-CM-gac1803c

Please help when you can, thanks and regards
Be sure you flashed the 4.2.2 gapps, the latest gapps (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip) is for 4.3.

Ok, got gapps-jb-20130812 which is the correct one. went into recovery mode and selected "apply update from external storage" selected the file then I get:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Then it all stops and i have to re-boot. I think if i can get this package onto the device then all will be good,
thanks in advance for your help
Hi, i would recommend you to do the following:
1) Download cyanogen mod 10.1.3 stable(4.2.2 android version) and gapps package 20130812 which is compatible with that version of cm
2) Copy them to your sd card (internal or external)
3) Download a md5 checker ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135620 ) and verify that the files in your tablet have the right md5
4) boot into cwm, do a wipe data/factory reset (important), wipe dalvic cache and install cyanogen mod first and then the google packet
its important to make a factory reset as there are data in your tablet which will conflict with other versions of gapps
Solved
followed the steps carefully and it all worked fine, I cannot thank katsika and nasheich enough, you guys rock and roll.
Muchos Gracias
I have a rooted stock rom android. Bootloader is still locked with stock kernel. I was prompted to update today. I followed through with it and when I returned to the phone the restore screen was up that lets you load factory wipe and load from adb. It said...
Verifying current system
assert failed apply patch
check/ system/ app/ realracing3d.apk
installation aborted
Did this install only pertain to this game or did the firm or software fail to install due to my not having this game installed? I removed it because it was bloatware and took up over 600mb of internal memory.
I have a rooted and flashed Boost Moto G on Page Plus. Viper did the flash at the beginning of the year and he is telling me it is not a permanent flash but instead an older one.
I am on Kitkat 4.4.2 and a month ago my phone downloaded the 4.4.4 update file. Now every 24 hours I am prompted to install the update and have to continually postpone it. OTA updates are disabled so the phone will not install if I consent. I just want the notification to go away, I am happy with the phone and don't care if I update or not.
I'll take any method that removes the notification and hopefully does not ruin my flash...

I have the solution for you. Download this then go under Google Services Framework and uncheck SystemUpdateService:good:
@nomar116 .... Alternatively you could just use your file manager to navigate to .... /cache .... and delete the 4.4.4 update file.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Unfortunately I pulled up Google Services Framework and it was already unchecked. I waited to make sure the notification would still come back and it did.

I explored to the cache folder and found the following file Blur_Version.173.44.20.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US.zip.
This surprised me since I looked that file up and it is a 4.4.2 update file and I thought the phone was trying to update itself to 4.4.4?? The phone is already on 4.4.2...? Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and delete that file and see where that gets me. Thanks for the help

The real solution is:
Go to /system/priv-app , find 3c_ota.apk and delete/move/revoke permissions or change its extension (any of these will work). Then reboot and you'll never get the nagging notification again.

Thank you. I had seen one of your previous posts with this resolution but could not find the file. I changed the extension to 3c_ota.apk.bin , hopefully I'm in the clear!
