Not a crisis, but could use some help

So after reading that the 2.3.6 update should not cause loss of root (i used zergrush oneclick), I decided to go ahead and do it OTA.
Unfortunately I was on a conference call for work and forgot to unfreeze the apps I had previously frozen with TiBu.
Started the update, it got to 75% and then said "update failed" and restarted. Everything seems fine.
I went into TiBu, unfroze everything and went back to update. I checked for the update and it is saying I am up-to-date, and to check back in 24 hours, but the phone is still on 2.3.5.
Any thoughts on how to force it tonight (or later if it does not want to do it on it's own)
Figured I would ask first before messing around anymore.

Yes push menu settings date and time uncheck automatic and change your date to a day from now manually then u can get the update

Thanks for the quick answer.
Unfortunately, while that did allow me to check again for updates, it is still saying my phone is up to date, despite showing as being on 2.3.5

I don't think the TiBu frozen apps prevented the OTA update... I was rooted using SuperOneClick 2.2 on 2.3.5. I did the OTA 2.3.6 update with 18 apps frozen with TiBu and it updated fine... I retained root... 18 apps still frozen... LauncherPro and all my widgits still functional. We're you on stock Recovery?

Vaguely embarrassed but I think so? I have a new kid so much less time to play with phones.
Took a stock phone, rooted with zergrush, added super user so I could use TiBu to freeze bloat and some of the advanced juice defender and widget locker capabilities and that is it.

Any solution for this yet?
I did the same thing, had mulitple apps and services frozen. I keep getting the already updated message.

OK, here it is. But, after I was about halfway through the upload, I remembered I puller some stuff out. The main thing I was concerned with is the visual voicemail.apk. Hope you guys can get it from the market like we can on tmobile. Anyhow, here is the rooted 2.3.6 rom. Please, after first boot, go back into recovery and fix permissions.

Stop Jellybean Update

Honest ive been searching for an hour, how do i stop the update from happening. Not permanently, hopefully like blocking the update app with Titanium like i did on my Galaxy S3. Also, the location of the already downloaded file so i can delete it. Thanks

Honestly!!?? Is this really that dumb of a question? I honestly still cant find how to block the JB update. Please anybody?

I would love to know that too. I really don't want to hit the update by mistake...

Honestly, just make sure you honestly don't click the update button. Honestly that's all there honestly is to it...honest!:laugh:

Honestly

The update file (dlpkgfile) is in the/cache/ folder.
And I don't know if this will stop the OTA or if this will completely F up your device but the Dmclient (or is it cmclient) system app can probably be disabled. It handles the OTA's

After some research I found that renaming otacerts.zip (in /system/etc/security/) with a .bak at the end could prevent the update to start but the notification is still here.
I tried to stop the Firmware Update Utility in app manager, even by renaming it with a .bak in /system/app/ . The notification is still here, but it seems that the popping window is not showing. Time will tell.
I saw somewhere that renaming the fingerprint line in build.prop woud work, luring the update into thinking the firmware is already up to date, but since I never touched this file (android newbie here!) I will wait for someone more experienced in modifying that kind of things...

If you are rooted, edit your build.prop (back up your original) and then tell the tablet to update. The update will fail (red triangle) and will reboot into ICS. The notification should go away and you will have to update manually.

Ok but what to edit in build.prop?

Check this thread in the development section. There is a tweaked build.prop that I used before my upgrade. That is what caused my OTA update to fail. BE sure to use the correct file and back up your current build.prop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641219

Yes !
I didn't actually changed the whole build.prop, but I downloaded the stock JB build.prop to take the fingerprint line.
So, after a backup of my build.prop, I changed this line :
ro.build.fingerprint=asus/WW_epad/EeePad:4.0.3/IML74K/WW_epad-9.4.3.30-20120604:user/release-keys
With this one :
ro.build.fingerprint=asus/WW_epad/EeePad:4.1.1/JRO03C/WW_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809:user/release-keys
And now, no more notification, after a reboot and a failed install of JB.
Thank you !

ok guys this does work, first remove the update file, then use a root system app freezer and freeze dmclient, reboot, if this does not work, unfreeze dmclient, then change your build.prop to show the blueprint of your asus tf300t or tf300tg tablet on jelly bean, reboot, then freeze dmclient, reboot, and that will remove any chances of getting an OTA or accidentally messing up the device, after this change your build.prop back to original state, reboot, and everything will be gone.
note i have tested the second method, and its working perfectly, no glitches, no FC's

with my previous returned tf300: after i turned it on the first time it downloaded the ICS .30 firmware and asked me to update, i installed it. then i was curious why it did not download the JB update, so i went to check update manually, it started downloading the jb update and i had to update to jb. after a few days because of hardware problem i returned it.
my new tf300 came yesterday, and the same thing above happened, i updated to ICS .30, now i try to remind myself to not accidentally manually check for update, sounds weird, right? i see cmclient and dmclient always running but it never knows that there's a update lol. and i usually don't go to about tablet so i guess i won't do manual update accidentally.

Just wanna say thanks for this. Deleting the update and freezing the dm client with titanium seems to be working. And hasnt caused any other issues as of yet. I think its stupid that we dont have an opt out option if we like the way our tablets are now. We should not be forced to change our tablets that we paid for and OWN!

Does your stock email app work now? After freezing the DM client the stock email app gets stuck at waiting for sync.
Nevermind. I defrosted the dmclient and email still didnt work. So I rebooted. Saw the update again. So I refroze dmclient, then restored my email app and data in titanium and that fixed it.

I'm glad I helped all of you and enjoy your tablets as I am :3 screw Asus JB update we D block that yo

Stop the OTA update and notice for root users?

OTA updates fail for me because I have done custom tweaks to my system.
With the last update before this one, it tried a few times, stopped, failed.. never tried again.
This time, it tried 2 times yesterday and failed. Which I expected.
However, I woke up to it having tried again and failed.. I thought it was over like last time.
Any idea on how I can kill this and stop it from trying to update OTA over and over? I don't want it.

you can delete the update in the cache/fota/, than freeze sdm 1.0.

I had checked there before and nothing.. but this time, since I delayed the update there it was. 30.92mb of update.zip. Going to copy it to my computer and then delete it.
But, what & where is sdm 1.0?

[Q] Did Samsung just push an update to my long-time-rooted S3!?

Hello, I have been rooted since I got the s3 pretty much around launch. Today around lunch I noticed an update download progress so I swiped down, long-touched, and the process said SDM 1.0. It had just finished downloading and then telling me to install now/later.. I paniced and put Later and then I specified 10am tomorrow... maybe I should have killed it?
Anyway, why the heck did I get this notification? I have been rooted forever loving my Dandroid ROM... will my phone screw me over by installing 4.3 tomorrow?
I have twrp 2.4.4.0 installed and making a backup now just in case, but I'm worried that it's going to install 4.3. I have never had an OTA update since I rooted this phone.
My ROM is 4.1.2 and I like it the way it is.

Since you're rooted, use a file explorer to navigate to /system/app and delete "sdm 1.0." Or if you have Titanium Backup, uninstall the system app "sdm 1.0" and you'll be all set. The update.zip downloaded to /cache/fota which you'll want to delete using a file explorer.
By removing "sdm 1.0" in either of these two methods, you will no longer be prompted to update and your scheduled update reminder for tomorrow won't occur. In addition, if you go to Settings/About Phone and "check for update," this will cause your settings to crash. Don't worry, this is intentional because you removed this file.
Edit: Yes, your phone will screw you over and lock your bootloader down in the process if you accept this VRUCML1 4.3 update. Just being honest!

Thanks, SlimSnoopOS!
I did the app/update removals with Root Explorer. I went to Titanium initially, but I did not see an uninstall option, just freeze or remove.. but the remove option gave me some yes/no popup to use some recovery trick and I said to myself... yea going to Root Explorer. I'm just wondering why I got this push in the first place...never got any notifications from VW/Samsung since I rooted this bugger.

Hey, as long as it works! :good::good: haha If you're using a VRBMF1 4.1.2 based custom rom, then this is the first update since VRBMF1 was released last year on our S3. Alls well that ends well of course.

For some reason my phone has been very slow since about a day or so after my initial post. I have done nothing except delete the files. I am starting to wonder if maybe my device is just getting old... I've had it since it launched...now I'm really thinking about the S5. LOL
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has had a degradation of performance with their S3 lately... the most noticeable lag has been with Twitter and Facebook. For example, I will click someone's Twitter post to see replies or a picture that they posted with the tweet, but it takes forever for that information to load..Facebook is not as slow, but still noticeable (e.g. clicking to see comments).

How to stop lollipop from installing automatically?

I have just noticed my G3 is taking the ota without asking for my approval. How can I stop it from doing it again? Thanks in advance.

Secret Menu
I went to the dialer keypad and typed in 3845#*850#, the 850 is my model number. Change it to your model # and secret menu will appear. Tap on WLAN settings and it will show OTA updates and pick disable. That's it. Worked for me.

Did that but the phone will still try to install. The reason I know is because my phone will be boot looping in twrp. At first I thought I did something crazy until this morning I saw a message saying phone will install update and will reboot in 10 seconds. Good thing is that I have the boot loop fix zip file in my sdcard.

I kept having this happen to me as well, even after disabling the option in the secret menu. I ended up installing the 855 minus 5 ROM.

I actually had that happen as well. My whole system was gone and stuck in twrp. I downloaded the copy of the 10f stock file and the zip fix file. Thought everything was good, then the update popped up again in the notifation bar, so I made a backup in twrp and tried disabling notifications. The next morning it started to auto install and it failed. Stuck in twrp again, ran my backup then disabled notifications again. Haven't seen the update again in the notifications. Hopefully it won't come back.

Using TiBu, I disabled/froze com.leg.lgfota.permission and Software Update and I have not had any issues.

So I tried Titanium Backup. Couldn't figure out how to do it. I also noticed I couldn't send or receive MMS pics. Did some searching and on Google Play, there is an app called Disable Service. Download the app, open it, click on system at the top, scroll down to Google Play Services and click on it. Scroll down to SystemUpdateService and uncheck the box. I also went down to software update and unchecked all 3 of those boxes. Restart your phone and you're done. I also re enabled the setting in the secret menu. Now my pics come through again and the update disappeared when I restarted the phone.

Can the OTA be undone?

This may be a dumb question but I had something similar happen and I'm desperately looking for a way to reverse things. My D850 was rooted, still stock but tweaked to PERFECTION, and I was under the false impression that the OTA checked for root and wouldn't proceed, so when I got the notification that the update was available I dismissed it and didn't think about it. Next morning I woke up to find the OTA happened without any action from me and of course I lost root. The phone is now really sluggish with numerous nuisances and I hate it. AT&T really f'd up my perfect G3. I chose not to factory reset or clear the cache as some have suggested to improve performance. I guess I was hoping that with everything still installed there might be some hope to regain root.
I'm reading about people going back back and flashing zip files but I don't get how it's being done. I did not have a custom recovery installed but I did have a backup with Titanium, although I obviously can't get into that now without root. The really odd thing is that Softcard still thinks it's rooted and won't run. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
...Joe K.

I'm afraid you wont be able to go back to rooted kitkat without having to clean install as there is no root for Lollipop yet.

Hey aybarrap just curious if the TiBu freezing has held up. Took your advice and did the same. Just curious if you've had any issues so I can be on the lookout.

I have NOT received a single nag or download for OTA. I have had these frozen for over two months without seeing any issues in the phone's operations. In fact I waited 10 days after the 10f was released before installing and had no issues.
