How to stop OTA checking? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't get the Double Tap To Wake feature to work reliably with 05Q so I want to roll-back to 44S
.. but once I've done that I don't want it to keep notifying me about updating to 05Q
So how can I turn off the OTA update notification? I can't see any way to do it.
Thanks guys.

If you're rooted you can modify the build # in build.prop to say that you're on 05Q and that should stop the notification. That's probably the easiest way.

[Q] Prevent ota update and notification

I have a rooted Transformer with a pending OTA update. However, my device is used for testing and I don't want to update. I want to prevent any future OTA updates from downloading and kill the notification of the already downloaded update. Can someone point me tell me how I would go about doing that? Any help is appreciated.

SuperSu Survival Mode Question

I noticed that the pro version of SuperSu has a survival mode option. Should I have this enabled all the time? or should it only be enabled when I am ready to make a OTA update?
Just leave it where it is. I'm not even sure if it'll work with an ota. The nexus 5 is so easy to root that I've never tried it. It had been helpful on some other devices butt it's not needed with the n5
gee2012 makes a good point for cm roms of you want to maintain supersu
Edit out of curiosity I did enable survival mode on 4.4. It does survive update to 4.4.2

You can turn it on all the time, also when you flash CM superSU will remain the main superuser app.
You leave it on all the time as I assume it has scripts to reinstall SuperSU if certain files are removed. It currently works fine for me with OmniROM OTA updates.
Thanks guys for the answer.

Well, of course you would keep root with OmniROM, since it is a rooted rom.
Why wouldn't it keep root when you're using a ROM that requires root to begin with?
Forgive me for being a compleat (sic) Nitwit... but I thought that Rootkeeper and Survival Mode in SU were supposed to keep root through an OTA update for the stock ROM, like going from 4.3 to 4.4 which I think is impossible because when I tap 'check for updates', the message comes up that (and I'm paraphrasing here'... can't be updated because your system has been modified.
When reading through all the caveats in OTARootkeeper in the Play Store, it seems to say that you can un-root temporarily in order to install a new ROM update, and then re-enable root.
Of course, then the Dev. goes on to say that OTARootkeeper won't work with SuperSU installed because OTARootkeeper has it's own version of SU built in.
Am I right or wrong... and if I'm wrong, I wish that somebody would explain it to me exactly where.
Am I correct in assuming that OTARootkeeper will allow temporarily un-rooting for the purpose of installing let's say, an update to the stock ROM which I happen to be running, and then re-rooting and still keep root status?
I've had OTARootkeeper installed for quite a while, but I read that it no longer works with 4.3 to 4.4 stock ROM updates anyway, so I guess my comments become moot.

New update never ending

Hello all !
I was in holidays when the latest rom came out for my Motorola Moto G. When i came back i directly activated the wifi and accepted to download the update... But since, it's still trying to update with no success.
I can't see anything moving but when i try to check for updates, it tell me it's already downloading. I can't receive any new emails or can't use Whatsapp properly... As soon as i'm on wifi.
So i was wondering if there is a way to "force" the update to start again, not to continue... So maybe it won't be bugged anymore. It's not rooted, normal rom and all... And i would like it to stay that way as possible.
Thanks for your replies,
Seilkane

How stop stop Lollipop OTA update?

On my HTC One, there was a way in the secret dialer menu to disable OTA updates. Is that possible my G3? I'm rooted w/TWRP and want to stay that way, but the OTA update notification is always there and once a day the phone reboots itself to apply update. And then I have run FixRecoveryLoop.zip in TWRP and reboot. It's getting irritating. Can I disable the Lollipop OTA notification somewhere in this rooted phone?
Thanks,
Steve
Whoops, too easy.

Well that doesn't work. It's still notifying and downloading the OTA?

If you have the paid version of Titanium backup you can try freezing "Software Update" and "com.lge.lgfota.permission". I know that I never received a download and have not received any notifications about an update.

[Q] OTA update downloading in background - rooted

So I'm currently running optipop 5.0.2 and google is trying to push an ota update. I have declined but it still is appearing in my notifications and is downloading in the background. I hadn't noticed it was downloading until my phone alerted my that I had used 3gb in the past 2 days. Is there a way I can stop it from downloading/disable it? I've read similar posts and I haven't really seen a way to stop the wakelock/downloading,just the notification. As I don't have unlimited data, I'd like to stop it if possible. In addition, I have tried to accept the ota to see if it would fix it, but it doesn't install since I am rooted and running twrp.
Any suggestions?

? What's Optipop? A custom rom? Then why in the hell is it receiving the official OTA update from Google? Ask the ROM dev.
I know who wouldn't touch that stuff.

Yes, It's a custom rom. I have no clue why it is receiving an official ota update...
Yeah, I'll ask the rom dev to and see what he says.
