[Q] Verizon forcing the 4.4.3 update on me or...?? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

So I was just greeted with this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any way to get out of this? I tried to click 'Install later' but that just forces me to set a time.
If I set a time, will I have the option to not download it? I'm completely stock and would've eventually like to try the firewater method to soff and whatnot. Not a huge deal, I'm fine with paying for Sunshine but I'd just rather not do the update if I don't have to.
Thanks.

Just got this notification this morning as well and was about to post the same thing. Wanted to see if I could postpone til tonight, then give firewater a try before the update was scheduled.

I've just been clicking the link that's in my first screenshot then clicking the home button and that makes it go away for a bit. Might just install it because it's very annoying, unless there's another way to stop it...

Without root I don't believe it's possible to get rid of the update and the nagging. If you want to get root I would try using firewater now before your phone updates since it's free and you might get lucky and have it work for you. However there is a possibility it won't work since they changed things on some of the newer m8's. If you want to root and soff after updating your only option will be the sunshine method which costs $25. That is the only method that works on 4.4.3 as of now.

I ended up with the same thing this morning. I am already rooted and S-off and have the newest 4.4.3 firmware. I think if you are rooted you can use TBU or something and rename a couple of files that will stop the Ota. Here is a link to a thread that might be helpful if you get rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/block-ota-updates-t2871520
Hopefully this is helpful.

Yep same issue here. Can not seem to get rid of it. I am rooted and have no desire to upgrade. I tried the xposed modules noitifyclean without success.

I used es and the method described in the link above to rename the apk to bak and so far so issues after 3 days. Still plan to s off tonight, but that bought me some time

Thanks but as said she did look on here. I was asking for her and using the app and not the pc is a pain.

Well, if you Dont see them there, it would be helpful to know which apps she deleted.
QQ, if she needs the apps to take the OTA, she must not have root. If she doesnt have root, how did she delete system apps?
(Or did she unroot to take OTA? And if so, is she aware there is no root available yet for the GB ota?)
MAJOR MAJOR EDIT!!!!! I stand corrected! Holy crap! Root for OTA GB announced today woo!!!hoo!!!!!!!!!!

She rooted and backed up. And deleted some stock apps. Then her sd card took a crap, and she got some back but not all. She does have the htc stocks apk but it wont install i think thats the only one she needs so she can update. She is not rooted anymore she didn't know she needed all the apps to update. Im just not familiar w the Evo enough yet. Thanks

Just have her run a ruu. Newest ota can now get root. Why the hell does someone need all the stock apps? Sorry, i Dont get it. If she has root, flash a GB rom, if she doesnt, than root her practice phone.
Sorry, maybe im not understanding the problem.

Mine did as well and after I had permission problems and a notification of an outdated binary. I ran the superuser update fixer which said I was fine but I did a force fix anyways. Now it seems to be working ok.

WOW, i dont have that superuser.
ChainsDD released a new version 3.0 for Superuser a few weeks ago (now 3.0.2) after releasing a few betas. Being a system app for most ROMs, Superuser was probably set for Automatic Updating, that's why it updated itself on your phones. Besides a new GUI, it mainly added new features with the Superuser Elite app. Here is the changelog at the Superuser website http://androidsu.com/superuser/changelog/
Most of my system apps show up in red in titanium backup. This allows you to attach and detach them from the market, and do other titanium functions on them. Unfortunately superuser doesn't show up at all in titanium. Is there anyway to make it show up?

Thanks. If you dont mind me asking, what is your current phone setup? Because there are literally like 100 reviews describing force closes and people having to restore to an older version.

[Q][SOLVED] Device listed as offline

So I put together a 1-click root utility that supports rooting 2.2 and 2.3.4 up to the latest OTA.
The problem is that adb lists my device as offline (on 2.3.4 w/o OTA) but when I RUU to 2.2, it recognizes it as online even when the screen is off.
I've tried uninstalling drivers, reinstalling, multiple cables, and no luck.

Thanks, I got the root from 2.2 to work, but now I can't test to see if it works on 2.3.4 lol
Hope you get it working 100% . It will be nice to have.
No clue dude, :l
I know beggars can't be choosers, but It'd be nice to have this as a Linux tool as well

Yeah, I actually wrote it in java so it has cross-platform niceness baked in
I already tested 2.2 root on ubuntu, just can't test this part of it :\

Well this is not really a "fix" more of a hack lol, but to get it to show up as device, I just turned on the flashlight and left it with that. Seems to work fine now, I just needed it for testing.
So now that its working, expect a new thread titled "1-click root" sometime tonight guys!
EDIT: God HTC drivers hate me...
Get er done .

This worked for like 5 minutes. Then not.
Did some more extensive digging on the interwebs, changed to an unbranded cable and bam. ADB works again.
Sorry for the false hopes yesterday guys, it should definitely be up by tomorrow afternoon :silly:

Interesting! Please inform us (and make a screenshot).
So far I have noticed that woke in recovery (twrp) it will not show me to wipe anything. And while in fastboot, it won't allow me to erase any partition. It will allow me to flash over but not erase.
In recovery it says 'failed' unable to mnt /data partition.

I'm gonna try to delete some apps and see if it has that dumb a$$ write protection kernel again.
Yup new kernel has write protection. Even after flashing jmz's disable wp zip. I'll upload the boot img so maybe a dev can figure out how to remove it
You are still S-Off? With S-Off you should be able to delete System apps.
Yeah still s-off a reboot after flashing jmz's disable wp.zip now can delete system apps and mnt /data

Hmmm, well, thanks, much appreciated. Seems as when I rebooted my phone the update finally came in haha. Even though I had already followed through with yours I proceeded forward with the update none the less and allowed it to install. Not sure if it overlapped what you gave me or if the system picked up yours to begin with. Either way, all seems well so thanks.
