OS file update location - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi all,
The update files downloaded to the phone, and I am constantly prompted to update the software. I don't want to do that.
Originally I didn't turn off the auto-update.
Is there a way for me to delete the downloaded OS update files, which presumably will stop the notifications?

[Q] Removing GRJ90/2.3.5 update file before installation

After rooting my new Nexus S 4G I inadvertently uploaded the GRJ90 (2.3.5) update file, but it has not installed. Now I'm being hounded by requests to restart and install the update.
Can I just locate the file, remove it, and continue on (and if so where is the file)? Or am I stuck having to install it and then re-root?
No. If you remove the file it wont matter. That is what a ota does. Notfify of the update over the air....
There is a way to stop it but just install it and rerooot. The time it took you to write your post you could have done the entire process.....

[Q] Update system APK without ADB Push?

We have an app built into the system of a custom rom/hardware that allows the end-user to update various programs on the Android device. However, we have no way of updating the update program. If we do it normally by installing it like any other app, it gets reverted when the system is rebooted.
Is there a way to update a system APK without having to use adb push or have the end-user do anything special? I'd rather not have to send out a bunch of SD cards with firmware images and instruct each of them on how to update it. Is there some way we can sign the application so the Android OS knows it's a valid system app and not overwrite it?

Android System Update Files

Updated my Verizon Note 5 to 6.0.1 via the system updater. Now wondering how Android handles the removal of downloaded system update files once they are installed. Are they deleted during the update process? Do they stay in the inaccessible root folders until another update comes along to write over them? Or does Android automatically delete them after a set amount of time? Just curious. Thanks in advance for any info!

Suspicious (?) download

Hi there.
Yesterday I got a message that a file was downloaded (which I did not initiate)
It is auto update: security.apk 43MB
It seems to be a legit security update but it is suspicious to me why it was downloaded into my Downloads folder instead of automatically installed by the system.
Is it safe to run it?

Stop auto delete OS update

Hi,
I have a rmx2155 (Realme 7) and there's a software update for my device. Where is it downloaded to and how can I stop it from being deleted after installing?
I want to extract and patch it. And If there's an update anyway, then why should I download it twice, one for installing and one for patching on PC?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why not find the update on the internet and download it from the web instead of trying to download and extract the OTA update?
