I have my updates set to manual, but I accidentally clicked on the setting and it downloaded the update. didn't install, but every time I wake the phone and unlock the screen, it takes me to the stupid update to install. it's annoying and I don't want to update in case they find an exploit and root and this update may not enable me to get it in the future.
nobody??
I have the same issue, I'm looking into this problem now.
FYI: Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7
nothing you can do about it, i tried clearing cache, full factory reset, wipe data, wiped sd card. Basically anything you could wipe I did, and after signing into my freshly wiped phone it alerted me that my downloaded update was ready to install...
pretty sure you need root access to get to the updates download directory

yea that's what I was afraid of..
There must be something we can do. Can't believe I have to spend the rest of this phone's life with those pop ups and notifications !!

All you need to do is clear the cache in recovery, once you boot back up it will say the update is ready to install, click install and it will fail because you deleted it clearing the cache
Done
I have blocked 'software update' processes by firewall. I can make installation fail. The notification icon goes for a while then re-appears, with pop-up, probably when I switch WiFi network or to 4G.
It Worked!
The solution above by *Detection* worked on my Galaxy s6. I had read similar solutions before but was frustrated that the notification remained. What all the other solutions were missing was the part about clicking install to see the installation fail and the blasted notification go away. Woohoo! Many thanks to *Detection* for the complete solution.

Ok so I'm relatively new at trying to root and hack phones as well as adding custom roms. I searched all over the forums but could barely find anything related to my problem, and if I'm wrong i do apologize for re-posting. Anyways I rooted the phone using superoneclick and it all went fine. So i then decided to try and install a custom called CyanogenMod 9 onto the phone with Rom Manager. I'm guessing I did not do an extremely important step and now i fear my phone is bricked. I put the ROM into the root of the SD card, went into ROM manager, and trid installing the ROM. It all failed and now my phone is stuck on the same screen on the bootup where it keeps restarting itself telling me Failed installation factory reset failed and it restarts factory reset. The phone is from T-mobile and its a Mytouch Q. Any help would be very wonderful!

Hi, Are you able to get into the CWM menu? If so, Do a "Factory reset" clearing all data. Then clear the /cache partition and the davlik cache in the "advanced" menu. Then flash the rom again. If that doesnt work try clearing everything again and installing the default android 2.3.6 LG rom and take off again from there. My end advice? Dont flash this phone, its a peice of absolute crap

Thanks worked like a charm . Wasn't able to get into CWM but I did get to install the default. This phon ebeing so bad is exactly why i wanted to try and see if flashing it would make it better haha
Hi all,
I have installed and uninstalled loads of apps/games since buying my Note a month or so ago which has left loads of un-needed/unused files. I wanted to have a clear out but as I don't know which file is for which app etc I didn't want to just start deleting files to find out that I needed some of them. So I decided to do a factory reset as it says it erases everything. I ran through the set up again of my Note, went to MyFiles and see that all the data is still there. How do I totally clear everything so it is as though I have just bought it?. I did think about flashing stock rom from Sammobile to see if that did it, but that would mean having to root it again afterwards+ I have had the stock rom downloading for the last hour and it is only at 0.5/1.1GB. Seems very, very slow from sammobile.
Anyone have any ideas??
UPDATE:
Once the rom had downloaded from Sammobile I flashed via Odin but all the old files are still there!. Now I'm really confused....
If ou have CWM installed go to recovery, mounts and formatting and format sdcard(could be called emmc) DON'T format the ext card or you will loose everything, in fact, its a good idea to remove it so you don't accidently wipe it.

That worked a treat Thanks. Can't understand why that didn't get formatted when I did a factory reset or an odin Flash.
No problem mate...
SOLVED! see solution in the first comment.
I really need some help...
I installed manually 4.4.1 version using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523217
(I am having a rooted device with TWRP without any modifications or deletions - used section B)
after the install successfully worked, i chosed to wipe. it was stuck and i used the powerbutton to reload device.
when the device turned on it used emulated storage which means no imei and no efs.
using the twrp (in recovery mode) i can see my full data and efs files.
when i am trying to rewipeqinstall update i get this error: "E:/Unable to mount /cache"
please help me.

Do not turn the device off while clearing the cache.
Reboot to recovery, go to TWRP settings and enable rm -rf option, go back and wipe the cache/dalvik. If THAT doesn't work, you will need to flash the cache.img from the factory image found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
After you do that, make sure you have the latest version of TWRP installed (2.6.3.4) If you don't you can also choose to install that via ADB before clearing the cache.

First of all - thanks for help.
already tried the rm -rf option unsuccessful.
2 question before I'm starting the flash process:
1. Is there a way dumping the efs folder to my computer before?
2. is this the command i should use: "fastboot flash cache C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/cache.img"?
thanks a lot.

1. Use TWRP to back up your EFS data if you would like. You won't lose any data by just flashing the cache though. All your apps and everything should still be there.
2. If you installed the drivers correctly and that is the correct directory for the file on your computer, that is right! I put mine on the desktop for simplicity.
clearing cache/dalvik is very slow on N5, I found, and so is resetting the phone in recovery. though the progress bar may not move the process isn't stuck, it's still going on in background.

Flash the newest version of TWRP. The issue is fixed.

yeah i have a rma out for mine. Luckly i have a spare phone (its a damn $15 go phone) but mine is already shipped. biggest issue is the $440 is tied up in my account until they get the bad phone back. basically i would suggest to anyone that if they are going to flash a rom first thing they should do is back up their efs to their pc and also some sort of could (dropbox, drive, mega, box, etc).

Well in our case I have my efs on my PC from weeks ago restoring it doesn't fix whatever the ROM changed lol
After I rooted my device (tripped KNOX btw) I downloaded the standard root apps and ended up messing with some setting that I didn't fully comprehend (I know, I'm dumb). I then tried to download an app from the Google Play Store and error code -501 popped up and interrupted the installation. I tried again a dozen or more times and it continued. I cleared all the cache from every google app that was installed, removed my google account, looked through all my files and downloads and found nothing suspicious, factory reset through settings, and finally hard reset through recovery-mode while clearing the cache partatin (spck) and wiping all stored data, and thus rebooted and still no answer. Please someone help!

Backup whatever you want to save from your storage, internal and external to pc for safekeeping and flash the stock TAR with Odin to return to true stock.
If you are currently on a firmware NEWER than OA6, you will be unable to flash a stock tar that is OA6 or older so it might be best to find the exact matching firmware build you're currently running.
I have manual update set on my phone, but I must have accidentally clicked to download an update at some point today because I've got notifications on my phone to now install something.
I haven't installed it yet and really don't want to. How can I delete this downloaded software update?
Failing deleting the update file (it must have been placed somewhere on my phone), can I just get rid of the notification that keeps asking if I want to install it now, or later?
Help much appreciated.
I did see a post with someone mentioning clearing the recovery cache, what will I lose from my phone if I do that?
I'll still do it, but would be good to back up anything that might be lost first.
Thanks in advance

Yea just boot to recovery and clear cache, you won't lose anything other than temp stuff like that update, nothing you will notice
Aren't updates stored in /data/fota on Samsung Roms? Just clearing cache might not free up the space.

Hey thank you, I have just cleared the cache, but the notification of download is still there!
Was there something else I needed to do to get rid of that notification? I can't find the post on it now.
