Well I hate carrier IQ and just today I finally got it to 0 using Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector. I got some of it right away using the old G2 method, but I still was not clean so I spent a couple days poking around. Finally I found LADDM.apk.
You need ROOT, this is for the Att version.
Apps:
Android Tuner
Root Explorer (I think Android Tuner has a root exploer too)
More details from adiliyo (Thanks)
ok, for people who are new to this, here is how i did it
download android tuner
click on application manager
click / pivot to apps tab
click the button on the bottom that says user and it will change to system
longpress on android system
click open
click details
pivot to all the tabs and uncheck anything with carrier iq in it
remove lib files
uninstall apk mentioned
presto!
Using Android Tuner go to Apps then Android System. Go through and uncheck all Carrier IQ listings.
Then find LADDM.apk and delete it (Backup first is advised). This is a nasty app, all carrier IQ as far as I can tell and check out the permissions before you delete it, it really looks at how you use your phone.
I also went into System/lib and backed up then deleted the 2 carrier IQ files in there.
Reboot and then run Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector!

This works great! You should also post this guide in the ATT G3 section.

Never used Android Tuner - could you give a more perceise step by step? I have no idea where you are talking about Apps then Android System
could you list the names of the files you unchecked from android tuner as well as in system/lib ?
i haven't been able to find any suspicious files on mine aside from the apk which i uninstalled (thanks!)
EDIT:
ok, i found the libs unsing the voodoo iq detector, everything else looks clean though, all i did was delete the apk...
i only show the libs (which i will delete now) and the boot detection agent that you have still showing as well, so i'm clean?
EDIT 2: as after removing the two iq libs, i get "android system has stopped" and it just looks time for adb
to be clear i had removed "libiq_client.so" and "libiq_service.so" from /system/lib
replacing them got rid of the crash. what am i missing?

if you have root explorer and didn't just delete them (i had moved them to back them up) you can slowly just copy them back (keep pushing ok and clicking on stuff before the error comes up again)
that's what i ended up doing since adb didn't want to see my phone on this computer. took like 10 minutes though...still looking for the files to remove so it works!
EDIT: added the files in case anyone deleted them and needs them
EDIT ok luckilyI saved them to dropbox - took a lot of quick finger movements but got them exported backa nd copied back into Sys Lib
So for anyone wanting to try this, don't just root explorer delete - just an FYI lol

Thank you so much for posting these. I was a dolt and forgot to save a backup copy and just simply renamed the files.

Thanks for the idea! Downloaded the copy of the files in the post above to my work PC, saved them to Dropbox, then spent about 10 minutes furiously tapping on my screen to go to Dropbox app, export the files to the phone, open Root Explorer, select both files, navigate to the \system\lib folder, and paste. As soon as the paste completed, the errors stopped. I think I'll wait until I get home to tinker with this some more....that was a stressful hour trying to figure out how to fix this.

Nailed it thanks! I am thinking they need to be unchecked before you remove the system/lib files. Sorry that some had issues with that. I didnt have any problems that way.

yes, after unchecking it's all fine to remove the libs (probably because system is no longer trying to access the libs!)

l got boot loop and I'm pretty sure I unchecked first. I'm on Att ... same thing happened on a s5 before. I thought it was just the s5, but apparently g3 rigged to crash too without ciq. I deleted on my g2 last year and no problem... Att got smart. Trying to kdz flash as we speak.

My guess is you missed something, I'm running with no issues after removing the libs. Did you go through all the tabs in system to get everything? I think there's like 5 or so items to uncheck.

Here I posted screen shots of everything I've frozen along with everything I've unchecked. This should help you out a bit... Also do it in the following order.
1. Freeze laddm.apk
2. Uncheck all boxes with android tuner
3. Rename lib files to .bak extension

So I'm coming from an iPhone4 and I followed the steps and did all this. Except I just renamed the lib files to .bak but they're still showing up when I run the carrier iq checker. Do I HAVE to delete them? I figured renaming would do the trick just fine...
I have a rooted and flashed Boost Moto G on Page Plus. Viper did the flash at the beginning of the year and he is telling me it is not a permanent flash but instead an older one.
I am on Kitkat 4.4.2 and a month ago my phone downloaded the 4.4.4 update file. Now every 24 hours I am prompted to install the update and have to continually postpone it. OTA updates are disabled so the phone will not install if I consent. I just want the notification to go away, I am happy with the phone and don't care if I update or not.
I'll take any method that removes the notification and hopefully does not ruin my flash...

I have the solution for you. Download this then go under Google Services Framework and uncheck SystemUpdateService:good:
@nomar116 .... Alternatively you could just use your file manager to navigate to .... /cache .... and delete the 4.4.4 update file.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Unfortunately I pulled up Google Services Framework and it was already unchecked. I waited to make sure the notification would still come back and it did.

I explored to the cache folder and found the following file Blur_Version.173.44.20.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US.zip.
This surprised me since I looked that file up and it is a 4.4.2 update file and I thought the phone was trying to update itself to 4.4.4?? The phone is already on 4.4.2...? Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and delete that file and see where that gets me. Thanks for the help

The real solution is:
Go to /system/priv-app , find 3c_ota.apk and delete/move/revoke permissions or change its extension (any of these will work). Then reboot and you'll never get the nagging notification again.

Thank you. I had seen one of your previous posts with this resolution but could not find the file. I changed the extension to 3c_ota.apk.bin , hopefully I'm in the clear!
This is driving me crazy. I tried updating to Google Play Services 8.1.14 so I can try Android Pay. I can install the apk, and it seems to work fine. However, when I reboot I'm always back to GPS 7.8.99.
I uninstalled Android Wear, Android Pay, etc. I turned on airplane mode, reverted all GPS updates (puts it on 6.x), installed the 8.1.14 apk, and when I reboot.... still on 7.8.99!
Yes, I am using the correct built (-238). I am on stock/rooted/s-off 5.0.1 w/ root turned off in SuperSU. If anyone has any clue whats happening here, let me know!
Okay, so it looks like I solved my own problem. I reenabled root and UNINSTALLED Google Play Services via Titanium, then installed 8.1.14, and it seems to have stuck. I still have no clue why the update was reverting, but... whatever. Hopefully this helps someone in the future if they have the same issue.
Disregard my last, that was not successful. Smart Lock disappeared, and my Trust Agents page was blank with no obvious fix. I did a clean install w/ the latest stock/rooted RUU, and updated straight to services 8.1.14 apk, which worked fine (ncluding smart lock). Until...
Until an 8.1.15 auto-update. Which put me right back into the same revert on reboot loop, except now it would update to 8.1.15 a couple minutes after ever boot, and then revert to 8.1.14 every reboot.
I sorta narrowed down the problem... The 8.1.14 update I installed manually via apk resided at /data/app/com.google.android.gms-1
Every time I rebooted, it created a NEW folder and redownloaded 8.1.15 to to those folders, named com.google.android.gms-2, com.google.android.gms-3, com.google.android.gms-4, etc.
I'm assuming this is exactly what it was doing before i wiped, except 7.8.99 was installed to the com.google.android.gms-1 folder which it always reverts to.
The fix was simple: delete com.google.android.gms-1... rename com.google.android.gms-2 to com.google.android.gms-1. Delete all the extra copies.
If anyone could explain this behaviour, I would love to hear. This seems like a pretty big bug, I'm not sure if it's related to the (stock) rom or a bug with the 8.1.x google play services.
here is your fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...lipop-apps-reverts-to-version-reboot-t3076563
this was a few pages back on this section. You basically need to change the owner of '/data/app' to the system. Post 7 has the adb commands or use root explorer or some other app to change all folder and subs.

:victory: Some times my searching skills aren't up to snuff. I thought my issue was specific to play services, so this didn't come up. This is good to know, and should be added to the RUU thread!

I would agree about adding to ruu thread, however, i cannot enforce that. I know some of the newer ROMS might support that like fluent 6.1 i believe does, and santod latest debloat i have not had any of those issues with those.
No issues here. What I did was let it download gmscore, then I cut and pasted base.apk and lib (from data/app) to system/priv-app/GmsCore (deleting preeviois GmsCore.apk and lib first) and renamed to GmsCore.apk - then reboot.
Id try this.
Okay, possibly a stupid question, but I've tried the couple of tricks that I know and they don't seem to have worked - so I'm not sure if it's not possible, or there's another way to do it, or if I'm simply doing something wrong.
I went ahead and manually checked for updates on my T-Mobile S7 (SM-G930T) tonight, and it found and downloaded the G930TUVU2APC8 update. Since I hadn't heard anything about it yet I went ahead and held off on installing it at the time, wanting to check on the details and read up on it here, and I'm glad I did. After doing my research I've decided not to install it for the time being, and to stay where I'm at, currently on G930TUVS2APB8. So, I'd like to try and delete the downloaded update files entirely, if that's possible -- so I'm not continually prompted to install it, etc.
I thought rebooting into recovery mode and clearing the cache would accomplish this, as it's worked on previous phones (S5/S6), but it doesn't seem to have worked this time. When I booted back to android it seemed the pre-downloaded update files were still there as it prompted me to install them again upon boot.
Does anybody know if it's possible to delete the update files once they've been downloaded? Obviously they haven't been installed yet. I'm not rooted of course, the phone is fully stock.
Thanks!
It's not possible to delete these files without root. You can however use Package Disabler Pro and disable "com.wssyncmldm" (Software Update) to make the notifications go away.
Do I have to use package disabler pro? I can't find this anywhere I'm using some other app hider that doesn't require root and can't find it.
Yes, it's this only way. The built in app manager does not let you disable certain things while this app does.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
There are several choices for apps like this on the store.

I rooted this device (model XT2131-1 TMO) while it was still on the android 11 using magisk method (currently on v25.2) and it runs fine honestly but when playing games every time the system update window appears it will completely boot me out of said game. I always selected not now( as I know updates break root if you just update) but I wanted to try and just update it and work on rooting that version after but then I receive "Package Verification Failed" notice and nothing happens. After so many attempts of selecting "not now" it will completely stop for a few weeks then start popping up again. So far this is absolutely the only issue I have ATM. More an annoyance really. Is there a way to completely disable that system update notification from appearing entirely or where should I look to restore, update, and then reboot on Android 12? I'd prefer just get rid of the update popup as everything else works fine. I'd appreciate any help thank you.
I also just remembered I've asked this in another thread but in this one im asking more about preferably disabling the system update notification entirely which will fix my main issue of it.

Solution: flash current stock kernel and run update again. You can grab updated stock kernel from RSA and patch and regain root

You can't delete it but you can certainly freeze it find an app like SD maid on Google Play you can freeze all the update apps and associated dll files there's about six or seven of them
I've still got an older pro version of that actually. Ty I'll look into that.
I'm seeing two under sdmaid. Both say frozen already. Which one is the actual android system update app pls?

Yes but there is android system update and then Motorola system update. I've disabled/froze(yes using sd maid and other root accessed app managers separately so as not to mess up anything else) both and their services/triggers (anything linked to ether) each at a time for a couple days and both at the same time and still appears constantly. Only thing I can think of is to completely reset to full stock,go to 12 and reboot ....
Try to disablw this application. i read that this help. I do not vouch for it, I’m not responsible for what happens due to it.

Look for an app called preference manager on Google Play.
Of course it'll require root.
Select each individual app it'll take you to the XML file it creates.
Look for all the timer entries and change them to zero basically make a mess out of it if you will.
As long as you've disabled all the receivers that should stop the app from Auto Wake
