I was surprised to see my Pixel 3 offer an OTA update, since I'm rooted with Magisk.
However, now there is an update offered in my notifications suggesting "restart to install".
Given the issues reported in the "Stuck in Bootloop when installing Magisk" I don't want to install this update yet.
Will the phone install the update with _any_ restart, or only if restart is initiated from the notification?
If any restart will trigger it, how can I prevent that behavior?
Go into developer options and turn off auto system updates. You will still receive update notifications but they won't download or install automatically. When you see the update notification, swipe half way to disable all future notifications.

I flashed the latest firmware with ODIN (N915TUVS2DPG2_N915TTMB2DPG2_TMB.zip). Rooted and working well. Began getting a firmware update message to install the same firmware. Asked to install now or later. Actually tried to install it and it just failed and went back to normal. A couple days later it would pop up again.
Using titanium, I froze the following:
Security policy updates 4.1.46
Software update 1.5.04
Software update 3.1.12
I then wiped my cache only in TWRP. I no longer get the firmware download message, however I get one minor notification that shows up when I go to the phones "settings". Notification says "Software updates. Tap here to update the firmware to the latest version and use the latest features." If you tap it, it does nothing. I can close it but it will show up again. It also shows up under "About" in the device settings. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything so far. Just a minor annoyance. Not clear why it is happening at all.
I am on the T-mobile version of firmware. Anyone else experiencing this? Thank you.

Could be because Samsung likes rat ware.
The security could be getting used to aid in O/S updates.
Given that you've frozen them and they could be tied together .............

I am also experiencing this. Have you found a solution? I know it's an old thread, but it's very annoying. TIA

I have noticed that things "frozen" by Ti backup still can have an effect.
Example I run Nova Launcher and lock down Samsung's launcher.
I then start having weird problems including restarts.
Since I'm rooted, I back up the system and remove the Samsung launcher.
Much better.
I just bought a GS7 today and successfully root it following this guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Everything worked great without a hitch. I had a slight issue with the OTA downloading when I was on wifi until I got Titanium backup installed and was able to freeze "Software Update 1.5.33", which stopped the download. However, I still have a notification in 'settings' under 'about device', where "manually update" used to be, but its not there anymore since I disabled/froze it, however still "ghosting" with a tick count of 1, believing its still there.
I was hoping NotifyClean would do the trick, but it finds nothing. I'm at a lose. I've attached a couple pics showing what the issue is.
ps - This was the only topic via search I could find regarding this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/help/small-issue-blocking-ota-updates-using-t3505860
try unfreezing the software update, reboot into recovery and then wipe cache. reboot the phone and then accept the update (it will fail cause you wiped the cache), then re-freeze the software updater
Will factory resetting my phone remove all updates, and leave me with only the newest update as an option? I rooted to prevent the last update, since I use foxfi.

No it will remove all user data and apps installed after first start. Any pre-installed apps will maintain their updated version.
If you don't want nothing updating turn off auto update apps in play store and then on the phone if you don't want firmware updates, no need to root to prevent updates
I rooted because of the daily reminders to update. Then froze appropriate apps. I think there were three of them.
I did not realize there was a way to turn off the reminders directly, only postpone them.

Everything can be silenced in Android..... everything... (evil laugh)
OK. So that was not true. As soon as i reset my phone it began updating the system. There is no option anywhere to disable the update. I tried using BK Disabler like last time, but that app no longer is available, and its replacement only works with root. I have turned on airplane mode to stop the update, but it is at 97%. Is there an app that works like BK Disabler did, that will allow me to freeze the System update apps.
Please help. I'm hanging in limbo currently.
Not quite sure on your specifics but - I'm in the process of checking the differences between marshmallow and nougat on a snapdragon verizon s7. Downloading the nougat 7.0 update, then factory resetting showed a "installing software update" string on the bootloader (both FR'ing from bootloader and within android) , but when I booted all the way up it might as well have been stock 6.0.1.
Are you at a different point in the update or on a diff kernel?
After i rooted my device and everything is as it should be i have received a system update to MIUI 11.1.2.
i have disable all system update there is and it still stuck on the notification drop down.
any advice?

The phone has the latest (November) security update for the OS. However, the Google Play system update is somehow stuck at September, even though it prompted for reboot twice so far.
The first time this happened around a month ago and after the reboot, the update hadn't switched from September to October, as one would expect. Yesterday, the same thing occurred again - a pending Google Play system update, prompting for a reboot. But after the reboot, the phone is somehow still stuck at September.
I think the only logical explanation is that the phone failed to apply the update twice. Has anyone else noticed this?
The phone is not rooted and is running the stock version of the OS.
Try clearing Google Play Services Cache and without rebooting, check for updates.
If this doesn't work, clear Google Play Services data, and check for update. (Don't worry, these are temp files and your data won't be lost.)
Okay, note to self: don't clear the Play services data. I just lost the COVID-19 contact tracing data
The "Check for update" button doesn't find anything new, not after clearing the cache, nor the data. Reboot also doesn't change anything.
But this is actually not my main issue. I do get updates once in a while, but after the reboot, nothing is updated - like it fails or something. The last two updates failed, but it worked as expected on all previous ones (I have the phone for a bit over a year now).
Today I noticed that the "Google Play system update" indicator has turned from green to red, since it hasn't been updated for 3 months. Is the September update really the last one?

Yes,it's the last Google Play system update available for Pixel 3a.
Today I randomly checked for an update for "Google Play system update" and I got a "Download & Install" prompt.
Long story short, it worked and I'm now on the December update.
In case somebody missed it, you can update manually, info on this thread
[HOW-TO] Update google play system update manually on any android phone 10+
So you phone stuck at older google play system update like my and every time you try to check for it says you have last version. You dont need to unlock phone or to root it. Update is instaled as normal apk file. Do it at your own risk! Im not...
