Disable Sdm 1.0 in Titanium Backup. That should stop your phone from trying to update.
I'd imagine synergy has all this disabled right?

If you just flash a custom recovery you don't have to worry about the update. CWM doesn't allow OTAs to be installed.
can't get a ota on beans rom anyways. all im interested in is the new radios.
Of course, I just imagine there are some people rooted with the stock rom and recovery
thanks so much for this!
tired of searching through 50 replies in other threads of people panicking, when this is the ONLY info i needed to know.
:good::good::good:
Got the update notice last night and it apparently tried to flash the update. Running No Sympathy rom, rooted (of course), bootloader unlocked, TWRP recovery.
Woke up to the TWRP recovery screen. Choose Reboot, System. then after rebooting, there was a pop-up window saying the update failed. Just waiting for the developers to properly incorporate the good stuff from this update.

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.

I'm back up and running and with the ICS that I wanted. I'm one happy camper! :victory:
So my phone just prompted me to install the latest update. How do I stop that!? I don't want a locked bootloader, no root, and no ability to do anything!
Help quick as you can!

In TiBu freeze the updater app or delete or rename UpdateBlur.apk in system apps.

Do you have to be rooted to freeze apps? I am rooted but jw. I did when 4.2.2 came out. Then changed to 4.2.2 ROM. Just having problems with custom ROMs. Frustrating.

The only updater I see is called Update. Is that the one? I'm not sure if that's it.

You can disable apps in settings, but that's only certain ones and not system services like the updating one.
I want to switch to a 4.2.2 ROM ASAP. Is the CM 10.1 stable as a daily driver with minimum bugs and the same battery life?
Ya, cm 10.1 has better bat life. I liked liquidsmooths settings better though. Carbon doesn't seem to be as stable atleast for me. But it seems like no one else is having the problems I'm having. I recommend twrp recovery. Run it, see what you think. PM me if you need help.

What about the ROMs? What are the fastest, most stable? I of course would love to be on 4.2.2 or 4.3.

Cant really comment on the best one. I liked Carbon, PAC and CM10.2 when I tried them. I think most of the kinks have been worked out of the AOSP based roms. Though I usually stick with modified stock roms when not using a nexus device. I usually have the best luck, stability wise, with them.
BTW I love your avatar. I watched that movie all the time when I was a kid. :highfive:
I took an xt 925 today, but i have some knowledgment from my Razr I, which is + - the same procedure/flash.
I want to install some custom roms, so basically all i have to do is unlock my bl, install a custom recovery and try out?
I'm asking that, because i'm on jelly bean, but its a carrier based firmware, and i dont know if this model got any limitation which break me up.
I apparently cannot get any ROM to install properly. I installed CyanogenMod 10.1, and it worked fine. The phone booted fine, but then I installed another ROM, and I CAN'T get past the Warning Bootloader Unlocked screen at all. I've tried a million times to get into recovery and then I finally do. Then I finally get in there, and I mount system, format twice, and I install a ROM.... Doesn't work. I'm still stuck at the bootloader unlocked screen.
What do I do?!

First off, don't mount system. When you flash it will automatically mount it. You need to wipe cache, and dalvic cache. Generally you also need to wipe data as well. You don't need to wipe more than once. Then flash the ROM.

The thing is, I couldn't get back into recovery at all. I had to try like 50 times holding down the buttons to finally get it to even boot to the recovery select screen, and even then it wasn't a sure thing if I were going to get it to boot into recovery. I flashed another ROM, and it still didn't work. I read on the Droid forums that you need to mount system first and then flash, so I tried that and my phone booted up right away.

Yeah, the brave little toaster! Old school and under rated. Ha ha!
Disable Moto Services. No root, no unlocked bootloader needed. You will never see any update nagging. Even when you turn off/on your phone.

Hey guys,
Hoping someone here might be able to help me get rid of the bane of my existence right now. I've been reading all over and using various methods other people seem to have had success with but nothing is working for me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G from Virgin Mobile. I'm also responsible for 2 others that are having the same issue.
A while back I had rooted all our devices and put TWRP on them but have total stock rom.
A few weeks ago we all started getting this system update prompt that lets you install now or later. If we tried to install it with TWRP it just boots into TWRP. So I put the stock recovery back on and took the prompt and let it reboot. It begins installing but halfway through I get a red yield sign and it stops and reboots the phone. If we go this route the prompt usually doesn't show up again for days.
So I went and tried custom recovery and custom rom next. Didn't get the update on the custom rom until the next morning when I woke up. Went and got a perfect custom recovery/rom package for the phone and went total stock. Same issue as before where it gets halfway through and fails.
I've tried navigating to the root/cache folder as another thread suggested and renaming the update stored there but the update has never shown up in that directory.
Basically now, periodically this prompt continues to pop up, sometimes very frequently on the foreground of whatever you're doing on the phone and constantly reminds/annoys the hell out of us.
I'd take a screenshot but it hasn't reappeared in 2 days since I last took the update and it failed.
Appreciate any help from anyone!
Your phone needs to be stock for the update to work. No custom recovery, no root, no ROM. Flash back the official stock firmware and the update should work.

I had not thought to try going stock with no root. That is the only thing I haven't tried. Will report back. Thank you
So, I've had my rooted G2 for awhile. Automatically updated to D800-20Y a few weeks ago. Decided I wanted to try CM out and used Autorec to get a custom recovery. Everything seemed to work great, booted into recovery and I keep getting error #30 can't make a folder for TWRP backup. Obviously this is during me trying to backup my current setup. What is going on here? I don't want to try to flash anything until I have a backup. Help is appreciated!

No, I ended up flashing the device with fresh software and traded it off for an s4. I didn't want a device that was going to update on its own without my consent. Never had an issue with Samsung and updates before
Hello,
I'm a Canadian user (6045i) that installed the US firmware (7SR4-UE40) a while ago. I'm rooted (flashed SuperSU in Recovery mode).
Today, I finally decided that I wanted to get the latest firmware update (5.0.2-7SRA-UEA2). I did a full unroot with SuperSU, rebooted, checked that the phone was indeed without root access and tried to get the OTA update. Every time I try, it says my system is up to date. Why is that? What can I do to get the update?
Thanks.
So, I'm the only one with that problem?
Download UEA2 and install it like you did with UE40? That's what I've done to get the latest US firmware. We're not going to see the US OTA updates through a Canadian carrier. We have to install these ourselves, manually, just as you did with UE40.

I thought of doing that, but if I recall well, someone mentioned that doing this, you were missing some of the stuff that was installing while doing it with the OTA. Can someone confirm this?
Did you notice some improvement with your phone since you installed the latest update? As for me, the double tap never really works well (well maybe i out of 4 times), this is something I'd like to see improved...

As far as I know the firmware's posted here by users are the "exact" image you would get if you did a OTA update yourself. Improvement, a bit I guess. The double tap can still be an issue once and a while. I find a reboot solves the issue, but only for a while. The Chinese rom was the best performing firmware all around, but changed too much internally (files system) for my liking, so I went back to stock UEA2, with root.

So, no need to unroot to flash this firmware?
Do you have a link to download it? I can't find it at the moment... Thanks.

Here's the post I followed (for others that might read this)....instructions are in the first post. I'm pretty sure you need to un-root, I did anyways.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/convert-canadian-6045i-to-6045i-updates-t3177979
See the 3rd post of this thread for all the user submitted firmwares, UEA2 is at the top of the US firmwares, submitted by Brian117. As famewolf has stated in that thread, these are "out of the box".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/want-to-able-to-install-ota-updates-t3163745
Hope that helps.....
Thanks! If I were doing this as an OTA, I won't have to wipe my device and start all over with the apps. Is there a need to wipe everything with this update? I did wipe everything when I installed the US firmware (from the Canadian) the 1st time, but I'm not too crazy to start all over again...
Try without wiping apps/data, should work fine. If not, you'll have to wipe everything. As your rooted you should have Titanium Backup installed, and doing routine backups of your apps/data. I have my apps/data backed up every night on a automatic schedule at 2 in the morning. It's always there on my external sd card should I have a issue. Makes swapping roms / firmwares a non issue.

I do have Titanium. So, yes, I'll be able to come back to where I was quickly if I have to wipe everything. I was not rooted when I installed the US firmware at first, so I had to reinstall everything. Didn't think of Titanium before asking this time....
Thanks again!
