rooted/unlocked/stock...how do I stop the popup to update from verizon? EDIT - Or will I not lose root and just take it? (Shes on 4.1.2 and never took the update from months ago. Always pressed "later")
use voodoo from the market to protect root, temp unroot, take the ota, then restore root.
if you loose root (unlikely but possible) you can get it back being unlocked.
You can freeze the update apk so you don't get pop-ups.

I prefer disabling Moto Services. No titanium required plus you block their bloat as well. Just my 2c.

I removed some of the stock apps (read: bloatware) from my D2G using Titanium Backup without saving a backup, and then read somewhere that OTA updates wouldn't work unless the phone still had all of the original system apps installed. To this end, I need a list/ screenshot of the default apps that come with it out of the box. Even if you don't have to have all the stock apps to update (on the off chance that Moto ever gets the update ready), I'd still like to have the list. Any help is much appreciated.
You can just sbf back to stock and get the ota

I have a rooted VZW maxx HD that I am trying to load safestrap on. I have read through multiple forums searched high and low and can't solve my issue. I can install v 3.05 on my phone. Click install recovery. Installation successful. Reboot and the safestrap boot screen never comes up. I am on stock rooted ICS by the way. Any help is appreciated. I want to install custom roms.

Did you go into super user and update binaries?
Yes I have spent hours on this phone. I am new to Motorola. Not as hard on HTC devices

I also had an issue with safestrap. I was running the JB leak and for some reason when restored root with Voodoo I never really got root back. I could gain root access with root explorer but all other apps including safestrap would not work. I had to use mattgrolfs utility to get back to stock
After I upgraded to the the newest Ota I installed safestrap again and it is now working fine. You might just want to start over and begin from stock.

I haven't taken any updates. I'm on stock ICS not the leak. Problem is when I reboot I never see the safestrap boot screen. I appreciate any pointers
That is weird. I also have the VZW Maxx HD with root and stock ICS. Safestrap installed without issues. I currently run my phone on one of the Rom Slots because zip updates are still disabled on the stock slot. Did you give it superuser permissions before rebooting the phone by opening the app?

Yeah I followed all steps. I hit grant SU permission when installed and reboot to the droid screen. I have uninstalled removed from phone reinstalled with the same result

If safestrap has been granted permissions through SU and you are still having issues, best thing to do IMO is just do factory reset and then reroot and install safestrap. That usually works for me.

was there ever a resolution to this?
I have a Razr M. I was running stock jb until today, when I
- factory reset
- rooted (successfully I think)
- installed safestrap 3.05 and “Installed Recovery”
however I can’t get any safestrap splash screen to show up on reboot. is there anything I need to do?
As title says - who has been successful keeping root with Voodoo?

Upgrading to 4.1.2 and keeping root worked for me as well but has been causing me issues with 4G data connection. When I first upgraded and kept root my phone would only pick up 3G. I went to Verizon and had give me a new SIM card which fixed my issue and brought my 4G back but now I have the issue where I lose 4G during phone calls. This issue did not occur before 4.1.1.
Didn't work for me, went to click restore root and it there wasn't any backup but I know there was cause I created the backup just before restoring the stock recovery. Now I have no root and it won't let me downgrade.

did you forget to do the temp unroot before taking the update? that the common mistake most are making.
even me, thanxxx

I am running 4.1.1 on my rooted DROID RAZR MAXX HD and want to take the 4.1.2 OTA update.
I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper Temp Un-Root which successfully makes my device unrooted. However, once I reboot, the phone is rooted again. I thought Voodoo would turn off root until I explicitly go back and Restore Root.
Am I wrong? Is Voodoo supposed to turn off root only until the phone restarts? If so, can I use Voodoo to temporarily un-root, and then immediately install the OTA 4.1.2 update without restarting my phone?
Or, is something wrong with my Voodoo installation since the temp un-root does not survive a restart?
When ever I go to update my RAZR MAXX with the ota release of android (4.2.1 i believe) I get an error because I deleted my stock kindle app with titainium backup that came with the razr maxx. At the time I was new to all the root stuff and didn't know that missing bloatware will give me a difficult time updating. Ive tried manually flashing the update but still it fails, needing that kindle app, and just downloading the app from the market doesn't seem to work either. So now I guess I need the back up of the stock app to reload onto my phone or is there another way I could get around this? thanks!
Hi there,
My girlfriend has 2013 Moto G and since a couple of days she's getting the LP update notification.
The G is stock, unrooted.
Is there a way to get rid of the notification? Without updating?
thanks
Is the question that stupid? Or nobody knows an answer?
Try uninstalling the Motorola Update services app using Titanium Backup.
That means unlocking bootloader, wipe device, reconfigure?
Titbackup requires root as far as I remember, didn't use it for a long time.
Unfortunately, I think the only way to remove the app is with root.
You could try other methods of rooting. I always rooted my phone by installing a custom recovery.
Thus, not without root possible.
Not that I don't want to root, my N5 is rooted and flashed but the Moto G is my wife's phone and I don't want to screw it up. :silly:
Thanks for the info.
I understand completely. The choice is yours (or rather, your wife's).
