I have a rooted Transformer with a pending OTA update. However, my device is used for testing and I don't want to update. I want to prevent any future OTA updates from downloading and kill the notification of the already downloaded update. Can someone point me tell me how I would go about doing that? Any help is appreciated.
Freeze DMClient app
I'm unlocked and rooted, and thought I stopped future updates by renaming the otacert.zip like I did on my nexus devices. However, I've recently received the update prompt and it won't go away. Anyone know how to make it stop?
I'll be updating later, if anyone is wondering.
Hey guys I just got word that the KitKat update for the droid ultra just officially rolled out today :laugh:! I tried going to settings > about phone > system updates to update my phone but it just says device is up to date no updates are required at this time.
Is this normal will I eventually get the update it or is there something wrong with my phone I'm rooted on jellybean 4.2.2 by using RockMyMoto and running 12.15.15 system version.
Cheers!
when i went from the original 4.2 to the camera update, I had to re-enable all the system apps, before it would show the update. just a thought. or it could be a staged rollout and hasn't gotten to you yet
Update Found
Edit 1/14/2014: I just had to reboot my phone and bam the update starts downloading on its own!!!

On my HTC One, there was a way in the secret dialer menu to disable OTA updates. Is that possible my G3? I'm rooted w/TWRP and want to stay that way, but the OTA update notification is always there and once a day the phone reboots itself to apply update. And then I have run FixRecoveryLoop.zip in TWRP and reboot. It's getting irritating. Can I disable the Lollipop OTA notification somewhere in this rooted phone?
Thanks,
Steve
Whoops, too easy.

Well that doesn't work. It's still notifying and downloading the OTA?

If you have the paid version of Titanium backup you can try freezing "Software Update" and "com.lge.lgfota.permission". I know that I never received a download and have not received any notifications about an update.
I have a Pixel 2 with the bluetooth connection issues. When I go look for the Google Security Updates, it says that I am up-to-date. I did a factory reset and tried to get the update afterwards, but it has the same issue where it is not finding the update.
Has anyone successfully been able to find a way to get the phone to find the updates, or should I get a hold of Google to return the phone?
Thanks,
Mark
I have also not received the November security update, every time I check it says it is up to date. I bought the unlocked version from the Google Store and am using Verizon.
This reddit thread shows a way to potentially force it, i have not tried it yet -- https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._on_september_security_patch_regular_pixel_2/
UPDATE: I have tried it, and it did not work
I also tried it and it didn't work. I would be more patient, but the Bluetooth issue is quite frustrating. I'll give it a few more days then will contact Google again for a replacement device.
Despite they say that the check for updates button now always bring the latest update. There's a lot of people that doesn't get it when pressed and have to wait a few days or weeks to get them like always.
Things that could affect the check for update button:
- Not being 100% stock un-rooted
- Being subscribed to the Android Beta
- and sometimes if you start executing an OTA update and it fails you might need to wait a few days for a second chance.
None of these reasons apply to you obviously but just giving my experience.
The best 100% official workaround to get now the update is to install the update manually using the stock recovery:

Are the ones marked Verizon for the Verizon version, or also for people who bought the unlocked version and are using Verizon? My current version is OPD1.170816.010, which is not a Verizon version, so I guess I would want OPD1.170816.025 since the version I currently have is not the Verizon version? Still find it crazy that an update would come this late, never got them this late on my 5X. I never understood the point of if I manually check I cant just auto get the OTA (I know there was that article somewhat recently that they are moving to that though).
I got 023 over the air automatically on my Pixel 2. Haven't downloaded the OTA from the developer site some I got this phone.
OPD3.170816.023, Nov 2017, Verizon
I too bought unlocked from Google but using on Verizon. I was on .10 and waited weeks after release for a push, but it never came. So I manually flashed the .25 update. No issues, working perfectly, with the Nov security update.
I am still on september security update. Got a Pixel 2 (Verizon). Hope they hurry up. Its almost december
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have the same problem ever since I cleared the Google Play Services' data through the app's interface. The OTAs just stopped coming. I have been flashing full OTA images since August, but it is getting really annoying. I still didn't get the November's patch, nor the December's one. It always says my system is up to date. I didn't try clearing the Play Services Framework's data, as it isn't effective and only causes trouble. I tried clearing the Play Services' data though many times, but it doesn't help.
I am rooted with Magisk. Everything else is fully stock (rom, kernel, recovery) and I do pass the Safety Net test.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, please share it with the world. I don't believe that I am the only one with this problem.
Same here, rooted pixel 2, currently away from pc so would love to update from phone

I've had the same problem with my P2XL for the last couple of month. I have just been downloading the full updated firmware and flashing from my computer, but it would be nice to be able to update while travelling with no computer.
Details:
-Magisk rooted, everything else stock, including recovery.
-Google edition - I used to get updates, not sure what changed.
-Not on beta. I even tried signing up and then unsubscribing. No help.
-"Check for update" button does nothing.
-Clearing data on Google Services Framework doesn't help.
-I'm in Mexico on Telcel, but updates have worked in the past.
Haven't been receiving OTA updates since flashing the Pie factory image in August.
Device is stock apart from being rooted with Magisk.
Update button always says system is up to date, so I eventually sideloaded the latest OTA image at the end of November but still didn't receive any update notification in December.
I'm starting to suspect the update manager in Pie is detecting root or something, because I used to receive updates just fine on Oreo, and everyone else who has this problem also seems to be rooted.
