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.

Sorry for the completely n00b question, but is there any way to download and install the official OTA update for the TB (once its released) while I'm running BAMF 1.3.2? Or do I have to update to 1.5? Also: will I receive a notification when the official OTA is available for download, or will I not even know about it because I'm running on a rooted phone?

The official update, when released, will be downloadable online. You won't get the OTA while on Das BAMF as you wouldn't want to; you'd lose root.
Just keep an eye out on the forums and you will get all the updates before they are ever sent out OTA.
well, my worry about downloading the (radio) update with the ROM is the whole rebooting issue that many people seem to have after installing it.
would it better to maybe wait for the official release, download/install that, then regain root again after? That seems like the safest bet to me...
I unfroze all the apps I had frozen and tried the OTA and it still failed.
I am rooted with just the stock ROM.
Anything I am missing here?
I do not think OTA updates with the carrier is possible on a rooted phone. I know mine would not do OTA updates when it was stock, unlocked, and rooted. It would always fail.
No OTA updates will work on a rooted phone. If it somehow does work it will likely break your root privileges
ok that makes sense.
So did you just not do the update and how do I make it stop trying to update.
I might start running custom roms again. I have not done that in a long time.

You can do a OTA with root but you will just lose it. If you altered some system files it will fail or if you run a custom recovery it will fail.
I've had similar issues, on other devices, with ota updates not working because of root, and more specifically I believe, cwm recovery. Unfortunately I've had to use kies to update.

There was no option to update. Verizon pushed the update to my phone twice in the middle of the night without my knowledge or permission. In the mornings I would see the message that the update failed. I didn't want it anyway, and dislike the bloat, so I flashed to a custom ROM after their second attempt. No more OTA updates for me now. That's what happened with me anyway.
Yea I agree... I did not really need the OTA and I plan on installing CleanROM 5.6 tmr.
I just froze all that bloat back. I can't stand all that S***T running in the back ground.

Hi guys, a couple of months ago I've rooted my new S2+ and after Alex posted the new 4.2.2 I've flashed my device with RDS_GT-I9105P-XEO-I9105PXXAMC2 (topic here GT-I9105/I9105P Stock Prerooted Firmware Without loss of warranty(4.2.2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334103).
So far it is working perfect! This week I've received a notification, that there is a new update available OTA for my device, so I've decided to download and install it. I've downloaded it, the phone restarts and starts to install the "new update", but at 25% shows an error (the Android guy wearing the red triangle etc. and reboots automatically).
After the restart the OS boots normally and is working OK as previous.
My question is: Since my phone has a prerooted stock FW (4.2.2) and is rooted at the same time running CWM, why I can't install the latest updates OTA?
If CW is causing this, why am I able to get the OTA update notification?
Thanks for the replies.

that is because it is a modded firmware

I understand that the FW is modded, as the previous one (4.1.2), which I've downloaded from here and installed on my G2+. But with 4.1.2 at that time I wasn't able to check for any updates for my OS. Every time I've checked manually for updates, the OS gave me error message, that this is not possible. And now with 4.2.2 I am not only able to check if my FW is the latest, but also to download and install 1/4 of the updates. I am trying to find the algorithm here.

I will say it again
It is not possible to check for updates because the Firmware is modded and not original anymore that's why!!!
Hi "safariking",
In the current situation we have two identically modded FWs, but a different outcome.
It's very nice of you to take the time to answer my question so fully That's why I'd like to thank you for the effort. Herewith I am closing the topic.
Cheers.

chill down everyone safari bro,this guy trying to say he got updated with mod fw,just when reach certain percent,the downloaded file seems corrupted. Now i understand mod fw can't even received the ota file,but how this process is allowed, and what happened with the ota file he downloaded?
either way,it's pointless,1st the phone fail to update completely(stuck at 25%), 2nd i don't think this problem can be solved.
cheers everyone~ :highfive:

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply. You are reading my mind. The issue is really interesting & I think it is worth discussing this.
Safari is right, when he says that FW upgrade OTA for customized ROM is not possible. This is of course true and no one has ever doubted it. This is why when I had the 4.1.2 installed on my G2+ no update was even possible. Droid detects immediately, that the OS has been modified and that you are not running stock ROM.
Okay, so far so good.
Now I have pre-rooted 4.2.2 installed on my phone. When I hit the "Check for update button" it detects that my OS is genuine (although it is not), downloads the whole update package (see screenshot), restarts the phone (part of the update process) and starts installing the update. When the installation reaches 25%, an error message appears saying, that an error has occurred. The phone restarts and loads the "old" OS.
I have tested this a several times and it always hangs on 25%.
The question is NOT why I CAN'T install OTA updates on modified ROM. The question is why I CAN download and install OTA updates on modified ROM.
My suggestion is that:
ROM 1 (4.1.2) had a modified kernel. That's why the OTA updates were not possible.
ROM 2 (4.2.2) is pre-rooted. And I assume it is just stock FW (kernel not modified) with few modifications in the user permissions. This would explain the OTA update and why it reaches download mode and hangs on 25% of the installation.
I hope this brings more clarification to the situation and this would be useful to all members of the forum.
Cheers!:highfive:
I have randomly come across and read posts and topics on this in the other devices' forum.
If I remember correctly, it is the custom recovery, i.e Cwm or twrp that blocks or interrupts the OTA process. 2 reasons why: you'll lose root access if the update went through. Secondly, if a user freezes or uninstalls stock apps like S Voice, Chat On etc, there will be trouble.
There are some ways of allowing an OTA to get pass a custom recovery. I think TWRP has this feature. Again, I stand corrected here lol.
Heard of OTA Root Keeper but no idea how it works

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

you can offline update it..
Many users including me got the system update notification. I didn't updated it then. Now the notification is not there any more and system update says you're phone is up to date with 5.1.5.
Is it true that 5.1.6 is not available anymore?

Hmmmm... I am on 5.1.6. maybe there is an update to 5.1.7. with June '18 security patch incomming?
To be honest, I am very satisfied with 5.1.6.
They're going to push an update with the bootloader bypass fix included.
yeah i hope this does not cause issues, for us that have twrp and rooted, get ur backups ready, we may have to format data

Same here I didn`t make the update and update notification has gone
Chat showing the reason for the pulled update.
Looks like there was a "freeze issue," and a hotfix will be rolling out shortly.
Had it a few days now, no issues here.
Afraid to jinx myself but I have no issues on 5.1.6 rooted with TWRP installed since Saturday.
oos.5.1.6, have no issue so far, root, twrp, exposed, custom kernel.
I have no issues at all.
But some people on OP forums are going nuts about it. But to be fair, I have seen at least hundreds of different bugs that I don't have. Have no idea what those guys are doing with their phones.
Actually I have only noticed one small problem, the keyboard remains under the notification shade when trying to respond to an SMS. That's it. No big deal.
