Hi,
I just got an S6 and immediately rooted via ping pong. The problem I've got is that the phone downloaded the 5.11 update and then asked me if I wanted to install, which I obviously don't. I just used the back button to leave the update screen, but now I'm left with a notification saying "System Update - Update Postponed".
Can I get rid of this somehow?
Thanks,
Andy
You can try:
1. Rebooting your S6.
2. Go to Recovery mode and wipe cache
3. Use app like cache cleaner to clean cache.

No luck with that sadly. Any other ideas out there?
Use titanium backup to freeze "System Update". It's a green icon. Make sure you unfreeze it before you unroot if you wanna receive OTAs.

I am new to android and yesterday I accidentally clicked the red download button when I held the power button down. Then a black screen with yellow text came up and said "don't power off the target!!" I left the phone on for about 30 minutes, but the battery died. Now when I power up the device I get the message com.android.phone has stopped working. I also tried a factory reset but it didn't fix anything. The device is rooted, I checked using the root checker app (i bought the phone from someone). How can I fix this? Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes or so. Do you know what ROM you are running? Only other thing I can think to try is trying to boot into CWM and wiping cache and dalvik. The usually fixes a lot of my issues.

After wiping Dalvik/cache, go into Advanced, and select Fix Permissions, just to cover all of the simple bases. If none of that works, you may have to Heimdall/Odin back to stock and start all over again.
I got into CWM, but there is no option for advanced. There are 4 options: reboot system now, apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. There are no other options. Maybe I have an older version of CWM, on the top it says Android system recovery <3e>
Is the wipe cache partition what i have to click to wipe cache. Thanks for the help.

Yes...wipe cache partition to wipe cache.
And it does appear like you have the old 3e Modded Recovery. I forget the version numbers but the CWM recoveries: commonly referred to as green, red and blue, will give you other options including Advanced as mentioned above

If you plan on doing any serious flashing, I'd think you'd want to upgrade to Red CWM. Here's a thread that tells you how.
I'd recommend Method 1:

You have tried to flash the factory image? How did you root your device?

Are you saying all your apps you've past downloaded are there or all add in Google stock apps? If it's your apps, when under phone setup when flashing new ROM, if you don't want to restore the apps of the past to start fresh, uncheck restore or stop downloads on Play Store start up. To flash new ROM and have fresh start, you also have to WIPE data/factory plus cache and dalvik. Clarify is this is not what you needed.
when i go to the bootrecovery and wipe settings, it says error processing rom manager script. please verify that you are perfoming the back up E: unkown volume for path etc..

I don't think you flashed stock rom like you think you did. To wipe the phone of apps you need to do a factory reset. But when you boot back into the phone make sure you don't check the option to restore your Google apps or it will just redownload again.
Just do a factory reset.

Clear the cache in cwm and see if that helps
Edit, if it doesn't you're going to flash the cache.img in fastboot. That should fix your problem

Sounds like a bad recovery flash to me. Try reflashing the recovery and see if problem persists. The recovery is not working and isn't wiping so that's why apps are still there. Reflash recovery, backup, flash new ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905 i followed this procedure again, but i still get same error.
is there a way to flash it by cwm app? or different method?

Cwm app? Rom manager? Stop using apps to flash things. Use recovery manually.

I recently updated to B137, after trying ErykineMT7_v1.0_-MT7-L09-L10_B137SP03-KK-4.4.2... I followed the usual procedure... flashed stock recovery > reset factory settings > local update to B127 > local update to B137...
There's just one thing missing: in settings > smart assistance> motion control is blank (see the screenshot...)... it's a useful app... I want it back!! I tried to reinstall it form \system\app but it failed...
Any ideas or suggestions? I have the feeling that factory reset is not complete, there is something left... I'd like to flash again not via local update but from boot .... How can I do that...
Thanks.

Happened to me too, when I update from B120 to B127. Reinstalled stock recovery plus wipe date/factory reset plus WIPE CACHE solved the matter.
Try reinstalling the stock recovery first.

Thanks Tuddu!
I simply reinstalled B127 and B137 and motion control was back... no need for factory reset nor wipe cache...
restore is same as reinstalling..
But 3btn is 100% restore
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S6 via ping-pong root. Then downloaded flashify followed by the Revolution Rom. Flashed the revolution rom! All is still well...
I then went into Titanium backup in hopes to restore my messages/etc so I did restore "all apps with data", but only selected data. Once it finished, it told me to reboot, to which I now face a never-ending text box of "unfortunately, system ui has stopped"....
I'm now in Odin mode (?) with a teal-ish screen which says "downloading... do not turn off target" for the past 10 minutes and none of the buttons are working...
somehow got myself to the android system recovery page...
as of right now my options are to:
reboot system now
apply update from ABD
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
Next steps?

Either reboot and enter Odin mode again or try apply update from cache wipe data/factory reset.
So I gave my old Nexus 5 to a friend and wanted to wipe the phone data.
The phone was rooted with supersu and xposed installed.
I did a "factory data reset" (under the "settings -> backup & reset" menu, NOT via the bootloader menu), and after it was done it rebooted into the new phone startup wizard mode. My friend then proceeded logging in under his Google account, and everything looked fine.
Today he tells me after taking a picture he saw that my whole photo collection was still on the phone. Why? It can't come from the cloud because this session never logged on my Google account.
Now I wonder what else stayed on the phone? I guess the Music folder, apart that anything I should worry about? Any way to flush everything that comes from my installation without my friend losing his current installation?
The phone was running a stock recovery or twrp?

twrp
Reset from the ROM settings will work to fully wipe the phone if it's running a stock recovery. With twrp installed, you need to wipe from twrp.

Ok, but now that I don't have access to the phone anymore, do you know if there's a list of what was deleted and what was kept? Apps, launcher theme and customization, application settings were indeed removed. But what about call and sms history? Saved passwords / searchi history? Download/Music directories?
Unfortunately, I'm not sure what would and would not be kept with a TWRP reset from the ROM settings.
Safest thing to do would be to boot into TWRP, perform a wipe of the data and cache, and then reboot. This will require the person to set up the phone again.
