[Q] HELP! How to stop "software update" from installing - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I was awakened to my Verizon S3 saying it was about to install a software update. I fear this is the Jelly Bean os and I don't want it yet. I wanted to cancel the install but it only let me delay it. I've been searching for a few days but no luck finding a guide. It's going to install tonight if I don't stop it. I let my Fascinate upgrade and it went to crap.
My phone is rooted stock.
Model:SCH-I535
OS: 4.0.4
Baseband: I535VRLHE
Kernel: 3.0.8-1092717
Build: IMM76D.I535VRALHE
Hardware: I535.10
Thanks, Tom

Just freeze SDM using titanium backup

Yup, rooted and unlocked. Froze the file, now what? What will happen when the installer tries to install it. When I look at the update in settings now, it freezes up and force closes.

Then you're all set, that's supposed to happen. It won't prompt you to update later or at worst it won't prompt you after the time you specified it to remind you.

[HOWTO][ROOT/CWM] Rooting the 04-29-11 HTC Update[FROYO]

EDIT: You can also just flash THIS by attn1 to accomplish the same goal.
The update for 1.84 for the Inspire 4G was released on 4-29-2011 as an OTA update. It WILL NOT RUN on rooted ROMs.
Things I have personally observed about this ROM:
Quick. Seems to respond very well to input, no real hesitations. I won't tell you quadrant scores because they are useless.
GPS WORKS! Exceptionally well. 3-6 FOOT accuracy. The highest TTL I have seen is 17s.
Fast. HSUPA is working well, 1.3mbps up. I hit 6mbps down on a regular basis with this ROM. YMMV, of course. But it works great here in North Texas.
Third party non market Apps install. Yes, you read that right. There is no selector to turn it on or off, though. They work for me. YMMV.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, PLACE OF RESIDENCE, OR PETS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
S-Off HTC Inspire 4G with microSD card inserted (HOW TO thanks to attn1)
RUU to stock 2.2.1 v1.80 (Located here thanks to cmstlist)
Gingerbreak v1.2 (From Chainfire) loaded on your SD Card
The OTA update note: place in /sdcard/download. This method is untested.
Sideload Wonder Machine if install of Gingerbreak does not work.
A valid Wi-Fi connection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps to achieve a rooted 2.2.1 v1.84 stock ROM
1. RUU your phone to stock following instructions provided in the above thread using the pd98img.zip method, NOT THE .EXE!
2. Boot phone, don't bother adding any accounts or setting anything but a wifi connection up.
3. Go to Settings, choose AT&T Software Update, then choose HTC Wi-Fi Software Update.
4. Download and install
5. Boot phone into updated stock ROM.
6. Install Gingerbreak v1.2 and run it. It will crash HTC Sense launcher, force close it, then you will see an error saying it could not reboot phone. Reboot manually using power button. If it gives you a weird error on boot such as a picture of a phone and a red mark, pull the battery then reboot.
7. ROOT! Yes, you now have root. Verify superuser.apk is in your app drawer, then I strongly recommend installing busybox from the market.
8. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had no issues with 3.0.2.6.
That's it, done! I have had a couple small FC's from SU when first granting permissions to an app, to fix it open the actual superuser app then go back to the offending program. Once granted permissions this should not occur anymore.
I hope this helps!
If I missed anyone in the thanks above it was purely unintentional. PM me and I will correct the oversight.
I think you mean 3rd party apps is enabled? Not slideload.
Great job with the guide.

It may not have rolled out for everyone yet. You can try placing the update file, not renamed, in /sdcard/download then run the update.

so lemme get this straight, AT&T finally enabled the ability to install apps that are not from the market?
Or am I just seeing things and mis understanding.

As I said that method is untested, try the check for updates step and see if it thinks it is a previously downloaded update that wasn't installed.

a little "birdie" told me that at&t is rolling this out to 10K users a day for the first three days, then evaluating the results and - assuming all goes well - will bump up to 25K-50K users on 5/2, and then 50K users a day until done beginning 5/3 or 5/4. don't know for sure, though, if this is why you're having to wait for 1 more day.
i have the update, where do you go to let it install non market apps? i tried downloading the amazon app store thingy but it still says install blocked.

If you downloaded the update prior going back to stock Un-rooted, then you need to either format you SD card or use another one. When I went back to stock, the update didn't show up for me, but as soon as I changed my SD card, the OTA came right up after I prompted for an update.

I wouldn't much worry about updating to this if your phone is rooted. Soon enough someone will have a rooted and CWR Flashable version of this. With so many good roms and Devs here I assume it wont be long.

I think that is the difference maker. Hence why s-off is listed as a prerequisite.

Keep the downloaded OTA on your /sdcard, but DO NOT INSTALL it! There is some dev work being done on the newest "leak", and I can tell you, things have changed. Avoid complications, and just sit back and hold tight to the OTA you found until we (erm... the devs) have tested this, and can get us back to stock.
Trust me...

Yes. The new leak is very much final ICS for us. And, as jim mentioned, it will lock us down even more with no way to return to GB. Unless that doesn't matter to you for some reason, I would stick with the first ICS leak found and posted in the general section. Then you may flash a ROM made from the new leak if you wish to experience what the newest leak has to offer. Or, you can decide for yourself what's best for you..

That statement is not entirely true. You can install it being rooted. But, if you have ever had bootstrap/BootMenu installed.. or have removed any files that get patch checks, then it won't install.
Well where is the first leak? I'm lookin not finding, the one i found they said i had to rsd flash to searet or mearet but rsd would not flash with the files the site gave me, my bootloader says failed n evertime i rebooted is goes to bootloader, but i'm not a novice n fix that prob, so if anyone has a att edison ATRIX 2 n installed the first leak give a how to please, do i have to flash bck to 2.3.5 cause i did dat got the ota to 2.3.6 tried the update n still nothing, i just wanna get of GB it's cool but everyone is upgrading n I'm stuck waitin for moto dev to stop scratching their ass n give us what we want :banghead:

AT&T's description
Summary Description:
* Effective October 25, 2012, a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket will be available to AT&T customers via Wi-Fi only for those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich (OS 4.04), which is still available via Sideload.
Software Update Includes:
* Google applications such as Gmail, Maps, Play Books, etc., may be updated to the newer versions.
* Fixes a problem that impairs users from being able to download the following pre-loaded AT&T applications: Kindle, AT&T Code Scanner, AT&T FamilyMap, AT&T Locker, AT&T Smart Wi-Fi, U-verse Live TV, myAT&T, and Messages.
o Currently when customers launch one of these applications they are connected to the Google Play storefront, but they are not given the option to download the application.
Software Download/Update Instructions:
Network Initiated Software Update
Upon receipt of the Software Update notification, the customer should select Continue and follow the simple steps to download and install the new software. Customers will also have the option to postpone the update for 1, 4, or 8 hours. Note: Only those customers who have upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich will receive this FOTA message.
1. Tap "Continue"
2. After the software is downloaded, Tap "Install now"
3. After the software is installed, the phone will re-start automatically
4. The phone is now upgraded to Baseband version I727UCLI3.

1. Tap "Settings" icon
2. Tap "About Device"
3. Tap "Software Update"
4. Tap "Check for Updates"
* A message will display. "Software update process will not delete any personal data on your phone. Check the AT&T server for new software update?"
5. Tap OK
* A message will display. "A new software update from AT&T is available for your phone. This update will occur over Wi-Fi. Please make sure to stay within the Wi-Fi coverage area while the download takes place. This could take several minutes."
6. Tap Continue
* The device will automatically restart once the new software has successfully downloaded.
* Status Message: "The software has been successfully installed. Your phone is now ready for use."
7. Tap OK
The device must have an active SIM card installed to accept the update. Ensuring the device battery is charged to at least 50% is recommended for a successful software installation. The software update is available over Wi-Fi only.
Software Version Verification:
1. Tap Applications icon from Home Screen
2. Tap Settings icon
3. Tap About phone. If the Baseband version reads I727UCLI3 the device has the software update.

[Q] ONE S S3 restarting issue after 4.0.4. update

After the 4.0.4. update my ONE S S3 keeps restarting/rebooting once at 3-4 days and after every reboot I get that HTC error report. I am on stock, S-ON, I made a factory reset but the problem still happens. Any ideas? Any of you has the same issue?
I am on stock 4.0.4 and never had this issue. I get gmail and gtalk force closes from time to time, but never reboots. Try to find the ruu and flash it again. Also, there might be an app that does this, try uninstalling all of them and then install one at a time and maybe you can solve this.

Ok thanks. I think I need my eyes checked too. Anyway, I downloaded it and applied it to my wife's phone. Still having the issues synching the Google contacts on the two accounts we use to store contacts. FWIW, I am wondering if VZW has pulled the update. My SG III was bugging me for since Friday to apply the JB OTA and has finally just stopped. My wife's phone on the other hand is totally non functional even after applying the full wipe version of JB.
