Disabling OTA? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I have unlocked and rooted this phone.
I am using custom ROM.
Today I started getting a notification of an update. I have disabled the OTA app and also went into the cache and deleted the update file. As well as disabled package installer. I am still getting the notification of an update. How can I get rid of it?

If you try to update, it should fail. Most roms are signed differently then the ota so the phone wont update...
Just open titanium backup and freeze the updater. Problem goes away completely.

That actually fixed it for me... so I'm not sure why you're getting it. :\
Why not update the ROM your using to one that uses MR2 as the base?
Yeah are you using the newest base?

If rooted it should not update.
I've never been prompted for an update once rooted

My wife's nephew is rooted on stock and he keeps getting the update message. Would it fail if it downloads and tries installing or is it going to break his phone? He couldn't find anything in titanium that says updater.... Any thoughts?
jv
The OTA update will never download or install. There is a way to disable the OTA update notification but I can't remember the file that needs to be edited to do so.

Are there any error messages? how are you trying to get it? Details really help

I'm having the same issue. It downloads successfully, boots into recovery, the progress bar gets maybe a third of the way, and then the icon changes to one that makes me think its an error, then it aborts and reboots, there's no message or anything. I used to be rooted, but not anymore (used superSU unroot)

Yes. Though I unfroze before unrooting. I just disabled some system apps (with the builtin thing) I'll try reenabling everything
Re-enabled all the bloatware, no luck.

Gestures not working after OTA

I did the OTA by flashing the stock recovery, then twrp. Also had to flash super su again since I lost root. Now none of the gestures are working. Also noticed the terminal (or data usage) icon pops up in the top left every once in a while. Kinda annoying

It's not an xposed module as I uninstalled xposed but the gestures still are not working. Anyone?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Bump
I've ran into this same issue- updated via OTA this morning and gestures stopped working
Rooted with Titanium Installed as well- anybody have suggestions on this?
I tried reverting back to stock everything with s off and took the OTA. Gestures still didn't work.

I had this happen too. Uncheck the box (to turn them off) and see if they work. If they do, check the box (to turn them on) and reboot.

I actually had the same issue and just unchecked to disable. rebooted. once the phone came back up, i enabled again and it seems to be working..
That hasn't worked for me.

Factory reset fixed it for me.

Offtopic, but where'd you find the stock recovery image? I tried using the one here:AIO VZW M8 Developer Resource Thread but it's not working to install.
Just wondering if you got it from someplace else.
Factory reset did the trick for me as well...
I was running weak sauce so so my ROM was untouched and was able to run a reset from settings menu

Android 5.0 Lollipop still not available!

Hi guys.
I used to get a notification which was bugging me to update to 5.0.
I blocked that ongoing notification through Gravity Box (Xposed)
I don't know what has happened, but now when I go to system updates, I see "your system is up to date".
I could have downloaded the update last month but did not because of some root issues. Now when I want to upgrade, I can't.
Any idea on how to get the OTA update? (I can flash the zip, but don't want to)
Thanks!

You'll have to wait for it to come round again.
Wait for the notification? But why? It was available a few days ago... Vanished after I installed the Closed framework.
I also installed eggster for different easter eggs. Can that be a problem?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
The notification goes after a while if you don't accept it. You go to the back of the queue. Sounds like you've made enough modifications for the ota not to work anyway
Okay, this might sound stupid but... Making a lot of modifications disables the OTA or something?

OTA requires no modified files to apply. You'll still get the notification (when its your turn again) but the install will fail
I believe he means, too many modifications that differs from the OTA zip.
Restore the factory image, or side-load it.
I don't k ow if this method still works, but:
Google Services Framework, Force Stop, Clear App Data, then go check System Update.
Service cannot be stopped. Rebooted quite a few times now.
Looks like I'll have to install the factory image directly.

Flash the 5.0 image manualy in fastboot or better yet wait a bit more for the 5.0.1 image to be posted by Google.
The funny thing is, I got a notification to update even after rooting, patching apps etc.
It is only after I installed Xposed that the OTA vanished.
Some people say that even the presence of SU app can fail the update. Is it true?

Look in the general thread OTA thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/ref-nexus-5-stock-ota-urls-t2475327, the OTA is still available there. First reflash the latest 4.4.4 Nexus 5 image and after that sideload flash the OTA in recovery. Backup your files first before flashing 4.4.4 again.
I will flash the 5.0.1 directly now. Thanks all.

No no, its the 5.0 OTA. The 5.0.1 isn`t out yet for the N5

There is no link between modifications and the notification. The notification would have disappeared even if you were stock unrooted. The fact it disappeared after installing xposed is pureb coincidence
Oh okay. Thanks!

Remove notification after CPE1 update using Flashfire.

Hello. I'm rooted on Marshmallow 6.0.1, using Xposed Framework. I downloaded the CPE1 OTA update, and installed it successfully, using Flashfire so that i could maintain my root and recovery. I can't get the notification for the update to go away though.
I don't want to select "install" on the notification, without using Flashfire, because i think it will remove root and recovery, or cause some other problems. Besides, it's already successfully installed, i read the new build number in "About Phone" setting!
I've read methods, like disabling the system update app, but as far as i understand that'd prevent me from being notified of future updates, which i don't want.
Is there a file i can delete, using Total Commander, or a one-time, simple fix to remove the update notification?
Thank you kindly!

Out of curiosity, what release were you on before? I'm on the rooted PA1 release from the dev forum here and don't want to lose root (or twrp). If flashfire will do it for me, that's awesome.
Well I tried installing it but it rebooted to twrp recovery and twrp failed to install it since you need the stock recovery to install updates.
Thereforw doing OTA won't do anything it will most likely solve your problem of the notification not going away
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA-Developers mobile app
dmolavi, I'm not sure what my previous build was, i just know my current build matches the build number in the info of the OTA. Flashfire installed it no problem; just make sure to check the "maintain recovery" option. Flashfire works by temporarily reverting to stock, installing the update, then restoring your root... I'm not sure of the specifics.
svz235, i ended up doing the same as you, but then it re-downloads the update, and keeps notifying me, in a cycle of failing, downloading, and notifying :-/

Did you download the OTA but just not choose to install, or did you sideload it somehow?

Disable was grayed out, so I used the "Disable Service" app... So, I disabled it but then, it displayed a notification that said "checking system" indefinitely, and the update notification came back!

Yes, I downloaded it, but ticked "later" in the install options, then opened Flashfire and it automatically recognized it, and allowed me to install it.
I am curious to use flash fire myself to install the latest update. I tried using flash fire to flash the CPE2 update but it didn't work I am still stuck in CPE1. What settings did you use to flash it successfully?
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA-Developers mobile app
svz235, CPE1 is the latest isn't it ? It's listed in the description of the OTA, and so is CPE2. I think it the version you get just depends on your phone model and carrier.
Flashfire recognized that i had an OTA, and automatically set the settings. I just made sure to select "maintain recovery" as well.

And i STILL have the notification!

Can you post the OTA file for download? My phone won't download it, says it's been modified. I don't know if that's due to TWRP, or the fact that I think i tripped knox a while back...

Well I have the SM-g900p from sprint flashed over to boost. I had CPE1 already installed. Then I got notification of CPE2 coming out. I did try flashfire but it keeps failing on me for some reason I go to build number and it is still on CPE1.
Alright, so it turns out I was mistaken... did I mention I'm somewhat of a noob? Anyway, CPE1 was the original mm6.0.1 build from Sprint, CPE2 is the update. They list it like this in the OTA info: CPE1>CPE2, I guess just to show it's going from cpe1 to cpe2... confused me because I thought they were just different builds for different models and carriers. :silly: So, FlashFire didn't work for the update. I ended up uninstalling Xposed Framework, and unrooting with SuperSU, then tried the OTA, but it gave me the message "Your phone has been altered in an unauthorized way" and wouldn't install the OTA. So I went to sammobil.com , downloaded the latest CPE2 build, flashed it with Odin, then rooted it again, and installed Xposed. Everything went smoothly, I'm on the newest build, rooted again, and no more notification... Yayy!! :laugh:
