[Q] Disabling OTA Update Notifications? [Editing build.prop line to FP5 bricks phone]

Hello all,
Anybody know how to disable the annoying OTA update notification on the Droid Charge? I've looked at a few guides, and most say to edit the ro.build.fingerpint line in build.prop from FP1 to FP5 [although I inferred this, as the guides I found had them updating from the prev version to FP1]. I've tried this twice and it bricked my phone both times.
I've also tried renaming the otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak [in the system/etc/security directory] but this does not work as well.
I've not been able to find an .apk in the system/apps directory that looks like it's the OTA updater, and obviously don't want to just randomly rename anything in there via trial-and-error as it takes WAY too long to reflash the phone each time I brick it. [I bricked it HARD the first time around. ]
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. The notification pops up constantly and is like Chinese water torture at this point.
Thanks in advance!

What are you using to edit the build.prop? ES File Explorer screws up the file.

1. Download ROM toolbox lite (no pay)
2. Swipe right to performance tab
3. Tap build.prop editor
4. Tap ro.build.fingerprint
5. Change FP1 to FP5
6. Hit save
7. Reboot

If you are running Tweaked 2.2 or Eclipse 2.0. It can be as easy as flashing a zip. Check out my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831944

See my previous post or do that .zip, although that will put you on stock build.prop which takes away some tweaks from tweaked.

This thread is likely dead, but for the record, this did not work for me. I still got an OTA notification. Out of morbid curiosity, I backed up everything then accepted the OTA which failed. Rebooted back to Tweaked 3.2. Promptly got another update notification. I am going to try to ignore them for two weeks (per an earlier post to this thread) and see if they go away.

don't know why you bricked but I believe FP8 is the latest, not FP5.

Yeah, I knew that and changed it from FP5 to FP8. I would have been pumped for such a simple solution but alas! If in two weeks the OTA prompts have not stopped I will be back looking for more answers. Right now I have a few other rabit-holes to fall into. Thanks!

Thanks! I checked out that post and it spells it out really well. Instead of flashing the .zip I chose method 2 and used Rom Toolbox to modify the build.prop file. Interestingly I am certain this is the what the OP+1 was aiming to have happen with his steps it just didn't work for me. Same app different way to accomplish the same task. Go figure!

Hey there I don't know if you still need this, but here goes. When I posted that in September 2012, the latest firmware was FP5. To disable the notification, you need to change it to FP8, the newest build.

They are located on /system/app , and you can get them or with Root Explorer or with Titanim Bacup.
Any Help will be Appreciated , and many many thanks will be given , without those files I can't upgrade to ICS

Why not just use the 2.3.6 fxz.That really is prolly the safest and fastest way to get you to a "good" point for an OTA to ICS.

Thank you so very much!! Replacing these files didn't fix my problem unfortunately. Makes me curious if Verizon has different version of these or is there something else i need to be looking for as to the reason my settings > user dictionary keeps force closing when i try to use it.
You've been a big help, i was looking for days for those files. I changed the permissions on them as well in a attempt to stop the force closing. they are now set to read only and only user can write, just like the rest of the files in there. I don't know what STSystem.apk is but it has all permissions enabled.
Maybe I didn't break this by deleting those files and i just noticed it being broken now. I'll post here later about how I fixed it, if anyone seems curious. Thanks for the help!!!

We must check that all permits are in 644 to all files have been copied to the system folder, there should be no loose ends, all at 644, then at the end, you have to reboot into recovery mode and do the wipes, then restart again and wait for the phone to resume the system, double check that everything works and that's it, if not, with regard to whether the files are from another operator due to different bloatware may be true that you can fail again.

I appreciate the fast reply and extensive knowledge. I don't understand what a 644 is nor what to wipe. I'm still using stock ROM and unaltered as far as flashing or anything more than rooting. I used SDmaid to move the files back into system/app as well as changing permissions. I will look into what a 644 is along with information about rebooting into recover mode if need be.
I would rather steer clear of having to reset the phone to stock, though I've done it before when i had to return a phone for defective hardware and didn't want to leave obvious super user and root on it. I left the whole setup of the CD image etc on the computer. I just don't want to depend on backups to recover my different game progress among other things.
Sorry for pretty much hi-jacking this thread. I didn't think it would be this hard and go this far. Thank you everyone for your patients.

[CASE CLOSED][Q] Possibility for SuperSU Pro Flashable ZIP?

Is it possible to insert the SuperSU Pro Key to flashable SuperSU (maybe with a little bit modification in the script?) so whenever I flash it, it is in Pro version automatically? No need for separate installation...

So true sir...
There's no reason to answer why would I go to pro when I can enable pro features for free,,, when I have already the key.
What really matter for now is, if it possible to flash 2 apk in just 1 flashable zip.
I think its possible (somehow)... but I don't know how to create flashable zip. Moreover, I really don't know how to create additional script (or what script to be added) needed to be used in order for key be installed too while SuperSU is being flashed.
Seems like, I what to learn on how to create script that will command to install SuperSU then the key afterwards.
If I'm not mistaken (as I am not a developer or what but a totally noob)... commands/scripts in a flashable zip are written in .sh file?

There is no ne to do this...... Just select any apk file abd put it to /system/app folder and restart your device

Would like to further understand something from this too
(i do have linux background)
Technically speaking, what is a rooted device? Is it having the su binary available? Is that what it means?
But then, supersu says that it needs a 'rooted device'.. this is quite rather confusing. doesnt supersu provide root access to apps?

couldnt you combine the key and the app using lucky patcher or a diffrent method?
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (rooted)
Rom:AOSP
Carrier:At&t
Dont forget to thank me if i helped

Not so sure, but a rooted device means having both the su binary and the root access manager (supersu)...?

I'll thank you if you could give me the procedure on how to combine the key. (Or if I searched for it for giving me an idea)... I havent used Lucky Patcher before. If I am able to combine the two in just 1 apk, then I might just replace the existing apk from the flashable zip so when I flashed it, its in pro version automatically.

Are you really pertaining to "pro key" apk too or other apk file?
It works for other apk but didn't work for pro key apk (in my case)...
AND I am wrong for my term "push" when I did not actually push it, but rather flashed it...
I flashed it right after flashing flashable SuperSU.
I placed the pro key inside a zip file>system>app (Idk where that zip file originated)... then flashed it
(all via cwm recovery).
(Btw, that zip file is really meant to flash apk to system/app or system/framework if you are afraid to push.)
Then after that, "reboot system now".
Viola! Nothings happen, but to go to system/app (look for the pro key) then install it there then restart.
(It works after that.)

It doesn't work. Maybe you just put the pro key inside the zip and you didn't even bother to modify the script so its useless.

Yes, exactly.
The problem is that people have adopted the term rooted to also mean access to the root of the filesystems, iow, the / directory. ("Just place this file on the root of your SD card," being the most common example of that usage.)
Anyway, with / access you can remount /system to rw instead of ro, and from there you can install the su binary (either in /system/bin or /system/xbin depending on how the dev made the installer).
The apk is simply the front end (user facing) management layer.
And then toss in the common Linux misunderstanding that's bled over to Android that su stands for super user. It doesn't, it stands for set user, but without arguments (the way most people have seen it) defaults to setting you to the root user.
As a Linux user, it might be just as well to think of the apk as your sudo access assistant, and to think of the grant/deny popup as analogous to confirming access with your password.
If you haven't already, install a good busybox (I prefer this one) -
Check out "BusyBox"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
And then Terminal Emulator and look around just as you would on Linux.
Your filesystem layout will make more sense one you use the df and mount commands there.
Hope this helps.
PS - Also, a thank you for taking down the pro download.

[Depreciated]Boost Stylo 5.1.1 ZV5 Custom Rom v1

I personally Tested this
Attention if you try this and end up with a brick or your device transforms and tries to destroy you; it's not my fault you did this not me. So just read all of this thread not just the O.P (and read the O.P more then once) to get out of a bind if you reply with "the thread is too long i wont read it please help" don't expect anything short of "there's a search bar use it"
Okay well now, you must be on ZV5 in order to use this system.img
since we of the Boost LG G Stylo don't have the privilege of TWRP because of a pesky locked bootloader and now real way around it....i have edited and tested this stock ZV5 System.img
the things it comes with is Busybox installed (you still need to download the app)
Viper4Android working without having to disable SELinux
rooted and debloated (for the most part)
edited build.prop
Make sure you have a Windows PC
Download the LG Drivers from here
Download this rooted-ZV5-system.img
Place downloaded img to your external SD via adapter or through your phone
Now place SD back into your phone
Reboot your device into download mode
Download this folder and unzip it to your desktop:
Run ports.bat from within the extracted folder, to find your correct port (use the one with: LGVZANDNETDIAG1)
In the LG_Root folder hold shift and right click and choose open command windows here
Type
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM3
(Make sure your COM port number is correct, it varies)
Type
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/rooted-ZV5-system.img bs=8192 seek=42816 count=327680 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
you will see a flashing _ line instead of the # let it do it's thing you will know it finished when the # shows back up
Type
Code:
LEAVE
and press enter and let your device reboot

Thanks thats what I went with a few hours ago, worked just fine ive been linking the apps through Link2SD now.

Is there an actual features list? I see you said debloated and build.prop edits, I was just wondering what it was exactly that was removed and what edits you did? I just used your root method today on my boost stylo 5.1.1 and it went perfectly! I want to use this too, but don't want to mess anything up. DO I need to factory reset or anything first? Or do I just follow the instructions in the OP? Thanks for all your hard work dude.
EDIT: Did you ever upload V2? Should I just use your guide for adding xposed? There probably isn't much different than a stock img I am guessing?

No I don't believe so. If it did would it have flashed successfully? Are there any tricks to get it working again? It havnt been working for about a month now.

....possibly a factory reset if that doesn't work flash my completely stock system.img then manually root with my guide

Can someone please save the 10.5.8.IN55CB OTA from T-mobile before updating?

Since T-mobile hasn't posted it, I'm surprised no one has saved off the update for others to download. If anyone gets the notification that the update is available PLEASE save it (plug it into your PC and select file transfer) off the device and provide a link to help the rest of us out.
Much appreciated.

Hey there!
I haven't downloaded it yet but I did receive the notification. How would I able to save the downloaded OTA on my phone? I never thought to do this, to tell you the truth.
Thanks.

I forgot to add this: Where in the internal storage would/should I look? I need to back up my phone anyways, therefore, this is a perfect opportunity.
Thanks.

After it downloads you should be able to say "wait to install later." It should be around 360MB I hear. If you have an app that shows file sizes it should locate this as a large file on your device. Like Free Cleaner and File Manager, from the PlayStore, if you go under Memory, go under large files, it should show you the location. Then go there and zip it up and save to another directory like Download. And then upload to Mega.nz or another file sharing site. Thank you for helping!!!

i needed the TMobile modem if one of you guys could share that it would help

i am uploading it right now. I am in desperate need of a persist.img from tmobile device. some how I managed to delete my only copy and my backup to the cloud I guess never was completed. if you could do this for me I would be ever so grateful. ill have the update in about 10 min

Quick update: My phone keeps rebooting after downloading the update and lands back into the tmobile splash screen and into the home screen.
What am I doing wrong? Reason being this is that I'm trying to preserve this OTA myself as well.

This is exactly what I need as well, just the modem.bin or NON-HLOS.bin whatever is on the modem partition. I suppose there is a way to pull from adb as well. However, not knowing what is in the OTA makes it quite difficult to see if there are mulitple modem partitions.
Go to system / build number / click it 7 times (it should say you are now a developer), the enable USB debugging. Trust the computer you plug it into (it will ask you on the screen of the phone), then type:
adb pull /dev/block/by-name/modem NON-HLOS.bin
Something like the above should work and save to your fastboot directory,where ever you ran the ADB command from. Then you can zip that file up and upload and we get all the new modem bands.

my problem is i use TMobile and changed to eu and global my 4g is 120mbs 5g 44mbits it was 198 i needed it to test if it changes you fastboot flash modem_a or(b) i could use someone who has TMobile modem backed up in twrp i can give everyone img then

i think i found issue with 5g nr is turned off i used settings database editor to change from 0 to 1

Would this help with 5g speeds? Also I have already updated, but I plan to keep my TMobile 8 stock so I'll try to get whatever files you guys need. Currently at work though.

see where i flashed modem

i have 10.59 what file do you need i dumped it

Do you have to be rooted for it to actually save? I followed that app's instruction and gave permission via ADB but it doesn't seem to save for me.

I figured that would probably be the way. Just wasn't sure does too the fact the app Setedit made it seem like it would save if you just gave it permissive over adb. No rush on you doing that though. Not sure if I'll be investing into all of that yet. I don't mind stock enough to modify yet.

Ok so where's the OTA download link?

T-Mobile variants don't give you the wait option it restarts immediately. Also you can't get to where it saves the update anyway without root. There's another way of doing it and we are waiting for it to be pulled
