Since my phone is rooted, the OTA update notification is on my phone. The first time it came, I tried to perform the update not knowing it would fail since it won't work on rooted phones.
It's not worth the hassle to me to 1: return the phone to stock, perform the update, and re-root the phone, or even not re-root the phone, or 2: load the rooted updated here.
I just want the OTA update to go away, keeping the phone like it is for now.
The notification is persistent through a restart, and I don't see a way to clear it. It's been like this for a few days now.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
In the same boat, would love to know if there's a way to get rid of this daily annoyance.
Go to the Android store and download NoBloat free(it has a Android holding an AK)...then go to system apps and look for the update notifier which is syncmldm2.apk, select it, then choose disable only...and viola! Its gone!

You could also freeze Device Management 2.0 with Titanium Backup.

I'm probably missing it, but I don't see Device Management 2.0 in the list, even if I filter all by name.
Do you mean Download manager 2.3.6?
Are you on stock and rooted? I was able to install the update on stock and rooted from kies. I did have to reroot and uninstall bloat ware again but everything else stayed in tact.

Yeah, stock rooted. Obviously I'm lazy with this, but I don't want to mess with Kies either. I'd have to a: reload it, install kies, get it working, load the update, re-root the phone, and *THEN* reconfigure/reinstall all my apps and settings.
Sorry, but I just want the notification icon to go away!
The first app that was mentioned, doesn't work either, nothing is listed as was described. There was one or two things similar, but not the same.
syncmldm2.apk is listed under Titanium as "Software update v3.1201.4.2". If removing that doesn't get rid of the notification, I believe wssyncmlnps.apk is also related to software updates. Remember to "nand you shizz" and titanium backup before removing either as it may cause instability (although it may not). I believe I removed the wssyncmlnps.apk or something similar on my Exhibit with little consequence- probably since they never intended on updating that thing...
I had that icon, I tried to install the update a few times (failed due to root) after a few failed attempts the icon gave up and went away.

All of my apps and settings stayed intact after the update over kies. I just had to reroot and uninstall the bloatware again.
The only way for you to get rid of the notification would be to update via Kies Software. Doesn't work via OTA when you are rooted, regardless if you're running the stock firmware. I just updated the firmware now with Kies, but oddly enough, the notification was still there! I clicked it and updated OTA, and it worked because the phone lost root upon the update via Kies. So yes, I had to update my device twice..
Well, time to re-root and uninstall bloatware.
EDIT: Well, upon restarting device, I am experiencing a lot of force closing issues. I reinstalled ClockworkMod Recovery and tried fixing permissions, but that didn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas or fixes? Maybe I should reinstall my apps again.. >_>
Most likely you will need to wipe your phone and start fresh.

Seems like it, thanks for input.. I'm going to backup my apk's and data, and everything using MyBackup Pro, so I can speed up the whole process. Hopefully everything turns out good. Oh, one question, when upgrading to official stock ROM releases, you always have to wipe if your rooted?? If so, I never knew that..
EDIT: omg backup app not working! Help! I refuse to wipe if I can't backup my apps!

I wouldn't think so, but there is always the chance an app incompatibly with an upgrade can occur and muck it all up.
Have you tried using Titanium?
Ah, I see.
Titanium seems very popular.. I've never used it before. I guess I'll try it. If all else fails, I do have a Nandroid from yesterday.
EDIT: okay, everything is restored and back to normal. Thanks.

Mine went away today, without doing anything.
If only real problems would go away if you ignored them long enough.

Long time lurker, but i dont think i have posted before...so sorry if this is on the wrong place/already been answered, if that is the case i would love be be redirected to where i should go.
Anyways, after updating this morning, everything worked fine other that some occasion lag. But when i opened up handcent, it was just a black screen. so i reinstalled it, and still no dice. the default messaging app had the same problem. If someone texted me i wouldnt get it, and there was no way for me to send out a text. then, when my battery went down to red, all of a sudden it worked like normal. i was able to charge it and even when the battery was full it still worked. However, when i reset my phone, it stopped working again, and resumed working when my battery got to red. Im pretty sure those are the only symptoms i noticed...Any ideas on what is going on/what i can do to remedy it?
And fyi, i was rooted before the upgrade and have rooted since. I had oclf, but disabled it before i upgraded.
Shameless bump, I really need help
Only thing I can think of is a bad install of the update. I would suggest going back to 2.1 using odin and then reinstalling the froyo update

So step one of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Then follow the installation of 2.2 as samsungs website outlines? Would that require me to restore all of my apps and settings from tibu again?
Thanks

Yea if you are going to flash back to odin you will need to back up all user apps using titanium backup. Make sure you do not restore any system apps though as that can cause problems. Also you will lose your texts so I would recommend backing them up. I use sms backup+

My friend had the same problem and had to go back to 2.1 and re-install the update and then it worked. Seems like the update didn't install correctly on a handful of Captivates.
okay so i still haven't done this because of how long restoring everything with tibu takes, but if I am gonna have to go through this process again, should i just make my first venture into flashing a custom rom? Am i correct in thinking that flashing wont be messed up because of the current glitch i have because it all reverts back to stock as the first step anyways?
Can anyone list what apps can be removed safely? What is the best method for removal? Tibu to delete?

you need to know that if you remove any of the apps then you wont be able to upgrade to gingerbread once tmobile releases it. I suggest you freeze them.
You could always remove what you don't want now & when the gingerbread update releases do a factory reset & then you will be able to update

Factory reset does not bring back deleted apps. Don't we have factory firmware for this phone?

There are a ton of them. Root. Root Explorer. Delete Spree.
I removed some bloat apk's from /system/app so now I can't do the official Gingerbread update once T-Mo releases it?
Removing applications has nothing to do with upgrading to Gingerbread. Trust me, I've already upgrade to Gingerbread on my N1.
Official Upgrades require = Stock Rom
So unless you created a special custom rom that you are hiding, I think you are fine.

Thats what I did. A hard reset should restore them.

a hard reset won't restore them. i've done it. deleted apps are still missing.
Even if you removed apps (tmo apps, games) you will be able to update, when update starts to hit, unroot and update...

I do not want to restore if possible. I did OTA update to my wife's stock rooted phone last night and now the home key does not work. Back key is only way to home screen. It vibrates when pressed but no action. She is already pissed about her tethering being disabled again. Any suggestions appreciated. I really don't want to have to tell her I have to restore. She didn't want the update in the first place.
Sounds to me like a fxz flash is the best option.
Flash back to 2.3.5 and root.
Flash one of our handy ROM'S that are currently available.
Get your teathering via sqlite.
Then your set!

Thanks. I already had her talked into it. Think I figured out possible problem. I remember she uninstalled ONE of the original at&t apps. Update said completed but I think may have corrupted something. She had a lot of FC today, definitely major issue. Back to stock we go!
Hmm. I don't think it should have ever updated over the air with some of the att bloatware missing.
Atleast it didn't for me.
Well, it sounds like your on your way!

If you haven't flashed yet, you can boot into Recovery from the Atrix 2 Bootstrap and make a Nandroid backup, then after you flash to stock and update to 2.3.6 and root you can "Advanced Restore" the "data" part of the backup to keep your apps and settings.
I have a rooted i727 that I just updated from the stock 2.3.5 to the new 2.3.6 OTA update. Now after Update I get message in Kies saying it does not support my device for software Updates. See attachment.
Is this because my phone was rooted?? Never has said this before in Kies.
Yes it is because you are rooted and or have a custom recovery.
u must be COMPLETELY stock to get its updates, bloat, recovery, everything
I'm complete stock, including stock recovery. All bloatware present, though some frozen with TB. I also get the same message. Phone is rooted.
Prior to OTA, also didn't get this message. Was rooted then also.

Nothing can be frozen.
I was completly stock as well out of the box stock running gingerbread 2.3.5 and at&t sent an ota update which updated to 2.3.6 in which i was still out of the box stock. But once i did that kies would no longer work for me either. After much research what i found is since the update come from att and not samsung kies would no longer work and this is what possibly is slowing the official ics update down cause now samsung has to update kies to work for the users who did the ota update to 2.3.6 which since it was from att approved by samsung it does not void the warranty but samsung was not counting on the kies mini problem. Now thats what i read but you know how that is too dad always said beleive little of what you hear half of what you read and even less of what you see....

Not sure what you mean that nothing can be frozen. Using TB, I go through the freeze process. After a reboot, the apps I froze no longer appear in my list of available applications. They do however still get market updates so are still present. Isn't that kind of the goal of freezing?

Ok. Now I understand what you mean. I can only say that this last OTA update worked just fine for me even with apps frozen. Also before this last update Kies was happy even with my frozen apps and being rooted. After this last OTA, Kies no longer likes my phone. Not sure if it is frozen apps or being rooted. Of course it could be a problem with Kies I suppose. I don't really want to unroot and unfreeze to find out at this point.

The ota is the same crap anyways. No need for it, flash a custom 2.3.6 if you like ginger.

Does anyone know how to prevent a software update on a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0? *
My tablet auto updated to the new Jelly Bean about 3 wks ago and I hated it. *I have since restored my wonderful tablet back to the ICS 4.0 it came with and rooted it. *But 2 days ago it auto downloaded the software update again and will only allow me to postpone the update rather than completely refuse it.
I do not want to have to go through the whole process again. *Does anyone know how I can prevent the update from happening? *TY!

Hooray - it seems to have worked! I wasn't able to find the specific file name you mentioned, but I did freeze 2 "system update" files and that has removed the update notification from my notify list and also doesn't open the update postponed window any longer from the about/software update settings either. Thank you so much, MultipleMonomials, ty, ty!
Still having problems...
Well, it seems I spoke too soon regarding my last post. All seemed to work well after freezing two "system update" files using ROM Toolbox Pro. However, after shutting my tablet down that night and turning it back on in the morning, I have since been locked up at the Samsung logo screen. I've spent the past few days trying to research my options, did the fix permissions, reset to factory default, tried restoring backups (which I didn't have), all that stuff, and I am having no luck whatsoever.
I can boot into CWM6 Recovery mode and also boot into download mode, but otherwise, I cannot get it to load past the Samsung logo and I'm officially stumped now.
Can anyone offer some suggestions as to what I should try next?
Flash a stock-based ROM without wiping data. Make a backup first.
