rooted with twrp and I am getting an update notification - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I thought that a custom recovery disables updates.
What do I have to do to stop it from downloading.
I don't want to wake up to a locked boot loader.
Thanks for any help

Not a problem. If the OTA downloaded, make sure to delete the update.zip from /cache/fota. Also, manually checking for a software update will cause Settings to crash as a side effect of renaming or uninstalling "sdm 1.0"

[Q] System firmware update problem.

Hi Guys,
Running the latest stock firmware here, but when I click on the system firmware update option, check update is greyed out and I'm told "There is a system firmware update for your device. Please check notifications."
Well there is no notification and I am running the latest firmware..... Is this a bug? Anyone else have this?

Paul
Hmm I assume by the lack of replies it's just me. I've tried plugging into my dock to see if that was the issue, but alas the same problem persists.
The notification is a little triangle in the status bar. It's not the most obvious icon.
Lastly, if you can download the update, you can rename it to update.zip and maybe flash it through recovery.

Ive gotten the notification recently but im on a rooted tf. when i click it, it just dissapears and nothing downloads or anything. Seems like a bug because im also on the latest firmware, even if it is the Prime rom. Plus only 2 or 3 ppl have reported it.

There is no notification, I have the latest firmware already installed.
Sorry, my reading comprehension was below par. I understand the issue now. Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All. Find DMClient and hit the clear data button.

That's the file responsible for firmware update. If u are rooted, u can use titanium backup to freeze the file to stop the system from checking for and notifying of updates

Ta mate, I understand now.
Thanks for this --- had to Google to find this thread because a lot of people don't seem to mention it, so it must be a problem that isn't very widely spread.
I was wondering why I hadn't gotten an update since September! Finally, abnormal battery drain solved! Wooo
Clearing the data for the DMClient when the system says an update is available but has no actual notification to hit, should be added to the troubleshooting thread as a fix.
Many thanks for this tip !!!
I have the same problem but your advice doesn't work ;/

[Q] Root Problems (Solved)

Hi,
I'm having issues with my OPO root. After unlocking Bootloader, flashing TWRP recovery and installing SuperSu, I installed some root Apps. The first one worked (gave permission), but the second App said I have no root installed, and the first one said the same. When I restart my phone sometimes it works but only for some seconds.
Hope someone can help.

if i click this message it open an app which has a big orange shield at the top and a slider to activate KNOX protection and anti malware.
I've already done that, numerous times! lol
I rooted by: flashing TWRP using Odin, then booted to recovery and flashed Super SU.
That's all I did.
So how exactly can I use Titanium Backup to help me?
what is Secu?

If you tap and hold on a notification, it will reveal the source applications name, it should be something like ESLSecurityAgent or something like that.
anyway to remove that notification on a non rooted device ?, my brother installed the apk for the exchange email and receives the same notification , long press on it , app info no option to turn off notifications.

TB not backing up because of insufficient space

A funny thing happened in the past couple of days. My Titanium Backup was working fine and I was able to backup everything. Then there were updates, both from Titanium Backup and the SuperSU. I'm not sure if SuperSU had anything to do with it, but I have been trying to backup my newer apps/data I get an error message that there's insufficient space on the card. I added the media_rw line in the platform and rebooted the phone, but the error still exists. Any suggestions?

Full unroot from the app then go back to to supersu 2.46. That worked for me. If that doesn't work then you may need to install busy box if you don't have it installed already

Go Into the SuperSU settings and disable "Mount Namespace Separation." Titanium backup always complained about this setting in the past but it never caused me any issues until now. Either way, disabling this does the trick.

Root SM-G935P
Version G935PVPS5BRA1/G935PSPT5BRA1
----------------------------------
Before these steps, make sure USB Debugging is ON & Verify apps via USB is OFF in Developer Options.
Backup your device before making any changes/apply root. I am not responsible for damages.
Clear CACHE using [Volume Up + Home + Power] before this process and applying firmware.
----------------------------------
Stock Firmware
(Not necessary to DL if on current firmware RA1)
Download current firmware using SamFirm
Run .exe as Administrator and use SM-G935P for Model, SPR for region. Check Auto tab then click Check Update.
Once version appears on top right, click download.
Or you can download from HERE
To apply this firmware, use ODIN in download mode and apply BL,AP,CP,CSC (extracted from zip) to each designated slot.
Use HOME_CSC in CSC slot if you want to keep your settings/files.
(Currently uploading latest firmware to my database for a faster DL)
​STEP ONE
-Download/Buy Package Disabler Pro + PD Plugin Engine from app store or install apks.
-Open PDP and insert this xml file to disable needed apps for root.
Link > HERE
STEP TWO
-Turn off phone into Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power)
-Connect device to PC and open ODIN(Administrator).
Link > HERE
ODIN v3.13 (patched) @realbbb
Link > HERE
-Click (AP) Slot and insert Eng Boot file.
Link > HERE
-Press Start & Device will reboot.
@JUSMEJOSE @jrkruse [Eng Boot]
-Change or add these strings below to your current build.prop in /system/ folder using a file explorer & text editor:
ro.characterisitics=Sprint
ro.telephony.default_network=10
ro.cdma.default_numeric=310120
ro.cdma.default_alpha=Sprint
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
^--Status Bar String--^
Can be changed to your liking.
(Save build.prop file with permissions Read-Only)
STEP THREE
-Once Device is registered on computer/appears on your drive,
Run root.bat (extracted from SuperSU[2.82]RA1+WiFiCalling.zip)
Link > HERE
-Follow instructions and leave device connected. Don't interrupt process.
DEVICE will reboot once after removal of any previous lockscreen/fingerprints/settings.
Final reboot will occur after installaing SuperSu,Flashfire,& planting su.img into device's system.
All Done!
Thanks for these threads that helped me acquire root for Nougat.

Love the walkthrough style. Thanks for writing this up.
Taking the dive later this week, I have been missing root since moving to QAA. I will try to update over the weekend.
Worked!
Everything worked like a charm. I was already on nougat. followed instructions from step 2 and everything is working. I did have to run root.bat twice to get supersu app to show up, but it was already stated in directions which helped greatly for me not to freak out at that point lol. Anyways as i stated it worked like a charm and anyone on the fence if you rooted before you will be able to do this for sure. Once again thank you very much good sir!
Thanks for the root method I have been waiting for something to come out can't wait to try.
And just a heads up it is frowned upon on XDA to share paid apps.
About to attempt, will post results
How is it running? Smooth? hot?

Im guessing its a package i disabled or didn't disable so it will take a bit to sort out. Its no biggie i might need to reroot. I can still raise the volume if i press volume down and move the slider. This is the only minor problem I've seen.
Does anyone know where I can find the nougat firmware? Trying to start fresh after a not successful root. Thanks

Try clearing google play store and google play services cache, if there is little cache then clear data and reenter your gmail. Youre talking about when updating in play store right? If not try only disabling these below instead [from goongydin's thread] and flash engineer. Or manually disabling from list(dont import). But once we disable these apps and flash boot img, these apps aren't supposed to change status which would mean repetitive testing. My honest answer is always going to be try from beginning again.
Bootagent
Carrier Setup Wizzard
Chameleon
Com.android.carrierconfig
