Hello.
I booted my Galaxy S 4G (rooted but not flashed) last week and a t-mobile update started. It did not finished though, and since then I get periodic warnings that the device manager can not boot. There is a cancel button. I press the cancel and it tries again. After 2-3 times, the phone operates as expected. Another warning has just recently appeared having to do with a Google Service not connecting properly. This too goes away rather quickly.
Should I un-root and look for an update, then re-root?
Thanks for any advice.
I was having the same issue! It was freaking annoyin. What i just end up doing which really solved all the issues. Was to flash the doexed ((sry if i spelled it wrong)) that its post on the development section of the sgs4g by whitehawkx. And i flashed it through odin. It was just simple, easy and worth it.

Being rooted (or not) should have nothing to do with whether or not you get the update. The update removes root anyway, so that doesn't matter.
You should try manually updating via Mini Kies. Here are the instructions.
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.
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!
Freeze updater.apk with titanium backup.

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:
Hello, I used to have a 2.3.9 before. Then I flashed it to 4.0.4, 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU via RSD and Boot Menu in 2 steps (there was some other version in between). It works great. Last week I started to get the messages about the OTA update to 982.124.14.en.EU (315.5 MB). The phone is rooted. So I used the Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to make the backup.
The current firmware gets loaded through the bootmenu. I was wondering, whether it is safe to make this update?
I tried to hit the update, it gives me a message of insufficient system memory and says to factory reset the phone, though it seems like there is enough free memory.
Should I clean out even more? Or is it not possible to make this OTA update? I really don't want to make the factory reset.
Seems like you're in the wrong forum... 2.3.9 doesn't exist and this phone never got gingerbread 2.3.x

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
