[Q] Help removing OTA update notification after manual update [resolved]

I manually updated from ASUS website (using the 5/1 software) and am still receiving the OTA notification in the system bar. Is there an easy way to remove this? Is there a file on the device that I need to delete? I already deleted the ASUS folder from the micro SD card that contained the update.
Thanks
EDIT: I went ahead and tried to update and it told me that the update failed. It then told me it was going to revert to blah blah blah, which basically did nothing and then went back to the home screen. This may only work if you have the same exact version that the system is trying to update to. After accepting the failed update notice, the notification went away.

What I did was clear cache and tried to run the update. It failed and the notification went away. This was however after I rooted and installed clockworkmod.

Normally I would, but I don't want to be the guinea pig when there is such a limited supply. If something get's screwed up, I may have to wait weeks to get a replacement.
EDIT: That is exactly what happened. I updated my first post and the title.

[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?
Ta
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 ;/

You have the same chance of bricking your device by using ODIN to flash your tab...

I don't know Where to search for It (a filename would be great) also how do you disable the update notfication so it dosn't download the update again? what is the process called in the app task manager so i can disable, i wish there was a option so that you are never notfied again.
also there is no option to disable auto updates in settings (on ics anyway)

Constant system updates?

My sensation is telling me there is a system update every single day!!! its been going on for weeks now and it's doing my nut in. I've been updating it everyday.
Any reason for this?

Can you upload OTA screenshot?

Sorry mate, what's OTA?

it is update OverTheAir...
Can you post update message?
Btw, are you running custom rom or full stock?

It's just the update that pops up in the top left hand corner. 'A system update is available.. would you like to download the following system software update?
update: system enhancement 60.48mb
blah blah blah
i'm not sure if it always says that update, as i've never took much notice of this message in the past, i just click download

Hi,
Does clicking "Download" actually install it?
You could just be looping every day.
You may have several downloads somewhere on your phone.
Maybe, you have to find them and click on one to actually install it.

Just in case you're not aware, even though you get the notifications the update will only actually download if you are connected to wifi

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

If that's the case I would suggest starting over...But just data? Can you call or text? Bluetooth?Hotspot? Is there an LTE symbol in notification bar with no data? Or is it just bars with no service completely? Double check your package disabler.

I imported your XML files for the disabled packages and attempted root. I had an error where it would take a few minutes for an app to update after downloading, do you know how to fix this?

I actually completely restarted the process by reflashing back to stock with the file you linked at the beginning and just followed the process again and got it working this time. Cheers for this tutorial. :good:

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.
