Hello,
I've got an XT1955-5 that I rooted using TWRP and Magisk. This morning it attempted to do a system update and failed (naturally), but it won't stop trying.
Every few minutes or so it tries again and I cannot make it stop. I have disabled automatic system updates in the developer options, but that doesn't stop it.
Maybe try using ./adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.ccc.ota, which disables "Moto update services"
I never really got around to seeing if it worked, but it's probably worth a try

I'm still on kitkat and have no desire to move to lollipop. Until now I've successfully avoided the upgrade to 5.0 by disabling*3*receivers*:
service:com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$*Receiver*-*this*will*run*on*boot*competed.
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$*ActiveReceiver*-*this*will*check*for*OTA*on*connectivity*change.
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$*SecretCodeReceiver*-*this*will*check*for*OTA*when*your*phone*"handles"*the*secret*code.
This has worked fine till now. But suddenly the system 5.01 notice has appeared. I think this happened after I updated my Xposed Gravitybox but I'm not sure.
Anyone know how I can disable the 5.01 system update notification without disabling all notifications of Google play services in system /apps?
Thanks

Thank you.
I took the easy way. Since the update appeared after the latest Gravitybox version update, I used Titanium backup to restore Gravitybox to the previous version and voila! Things are back to normal and the system update no longer appears. I wonder what GB broke.
But I will keep your response for future use. Can all these receivers really be disabled without problem? Is there somewhere that tells me what each receiver does rather than guess and break something?
I misspoke. System update for 5.0.1 has reappeared. Update.zip is not present.
All SystemUpdate receivers are disabled using Autostarts.
There has to be some way to stop this system notification. It was blocked for a long time. I don't know what has changed.
Help.

Try this exposed module.
Edit: I haven't yet installed Xposed in lollipop and I don't know which all modules are safe.

GravityBox has nothing to do with OTA services.
If the services/receivers are disabled properly, then there is NO WAY the OTA can be downloaded. Try disabling all of them using adb as mentioned previously. All of them are solely for the purpose for OTA so you will not break anything other than OTA by disabling them (that's also why there are individual services/receivers for each function..).
Also, blocking the notification is a bad idea. It still downloads (and also wakelocks). The OTA notification also isn't provided by Play Services, it's provided by the system itself.
Thank you again.
I will connect to my laptop and go the adb way you recommend.
Feedback:
Thank you Elluel. I followed your adb instructions, rebooted, and the system update notice disappeared. Thank you!
On a separate but related issue, on several of the adb commands, the response (before disabling the receiver) included something about "... waste of memory...... security risk..... please fix...."
Any idea what that might be about?

Never seen that before, don't know. Should be fine anyways.
Thank you again.
I am still with locked bootloader and unrooted for now. Anytime in the future I will probably switch to a custom ROM, but for now I want to 'experience the miui'. I am however removing some bloatware. I was able to do it via the pm uninstall command via adb shell. I removed all (system)apps I wanted to remove but for some reason I could not remove:
com.google.inputmethod.pinyin
It gives me this result:
whyred:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.inputmethod.pinyin
Failure [not installed for 0]
I disabled MIUI optimization in Develop options and rebooted, but this did not help..
Does anyone know why I cannot uninstall this keyboard?
EDIT: Never mind, it was not a system app I guess. Just uninstalled it via the phone.. LOL :silly:
I'm in a same positionnement as you, I'd be interested if you knowing information to debloat the phones.
thx

I was trying to install an app on my Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro with Android Oreo 8.0 but couldn't because there was some package name conflict. So I decided to uninstall the conflicting package using adb. The package was com.samsung.android.app.clockpack. I searched on Google about this package and the only information I got was that it was some clock like app whose APKs were available online. So I thought uninstalling it would be safe. But it turned out to be anything but safe.
The app which I was trying to install still had that conflicting package name problem and after uninstalling the package I realized that it was, in fact, the app required to show the clock on the lock screen. Initially I had no problem after uninstalling that package. The default clock faces were still present and it seemed as if nothing had changed. Only after a few minutes did I notice that the clock had disappeared from my phone's lock screen. I tried restarting the phone but to no avail.
I had taken the help of this XDA tutorial to uninstall that package. And I had read the warning about having to factory reset the phone to recover the uninstalled system apps. I was ready to face the situation if it arises.
In the same tutorial I also noticed this sentence:
This is a good thing, however, as it means that these applications truly aren’t being uninstalled from the device, they are just being uninstalled for the current user

So I want to know, if the app isn't truly uninstalled from my phone, is it possible to re-install it somehow? If it's possible then it'll be greatly helpful as it will save me from wasting my time to factor reset my phone and re-install all of my apps. Thank you.

Try using the exact same command that was used to "uninstall" the app for the current user, but this time, when you type the command, change "uninstall" to "install".
“pm install -k --user 0 <name of package>”
Instead of:
“pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>”

I had tried doing that but it hadn't worked. Anyway, I have factory reset my phone. Thanks.
Using adb shell I was able to uninstall and disable most of the Amazon apps for user 0 which saved me a bunch of storage and ram...
The tablet was performing wonderfully, unfortunately most of the Amazon apps were automatically re enabled and updated... Anyone here knows what system process is responsible for this? Anyone knows how to permanently disable Amazon apps without rooting????

Depends on what you were trying to disable.
None of the apps re-enabled so far by using THIS Tool Box on a HD 8" 2018 model.

I use the tool you mention in the link. Today my daughter brought her tablet because the fire launcher was there. I just reran the remove Amazon and it was gone again. I'm guessing there was an update. I didn't run the disable updates from the tool.
That being said ... For OP. I recommend the same tool as even if they re-enable. Plug in and disable again with the tool. Takes 30 seconds.

Use another commands:
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
I have disabled all Amazon junks. Look my screenshot below ↓↓
I'm used "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0" command to completely disabled all Amazon junks (i.e. OTA, Amazon Video, Appstore, and etc).
i am using
adb shell pm disable-user com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
i am not adding --user 0 and it still work.
Hey everyone,
I'm rooted, so obviously the OTA security update fails every time for me. Since I did a hard restart on my phone, the update tries to be applied non stop, hogging up CPU usage and slowing the phone down. It says it fails and immediately tries to apply it again, in an endless loop.
I haven't found a way to disable it. Any suggestions? I tried to delete Motorola Update Services through titanium backup but it keeps coming back after a restart.
Any suggestions? I don't really want to go through the hassle of updating for a security patch, re rooting, and setting up my highly customized device again.
Thanks in advance!
Try the following
Enable usb debugging
Connect phone to PC & run the following adb command substituting package name with the package name of the app you want to disable E.g com.xyz.myapp
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 packagename
If you get an error about this app can't be uninstalled try
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 packagename
I just wanted to update anyone in case they are looking at this thread.
The first command to remove it did not work. The second command to disable it DOES work, and survives a reboot. The package name is "com.motorola.ccc.ota"
I have Motorola Update Services frozen via Titanium seems to have killed that update pop up on 4 Motos i have. oh and disable updates in Dev mode too.
Bookmarked for later.
I'm going to bump this thread because the command is not working on Android 10. Any solutions? TB also just crashes for me.
adb simply returns "package non disable" or something along those lines. Meanwhile I keep getting that extremely annoying popup. Honestly, may it's worth switching to lineage. At least there I can be rooted and also get updates.

i second this. the second command works in my experience too.
Just an update for anyone that finds this...
On another forum, I came across this
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.ccc.ota
It worked for me on a Moto G6
Hi
It doesn't work on my device. Though I have the Moto G Power 2022 (Tonga), running A11 stock WITHOUT su (root); neither the pm uninstall or pm disable commands perform their function. Rather, it tells me the package is "non-disable" and remains installed and unable to disable. It's the motorola ota package I'm trying to freeze so it can stop with the SPAM POPUPS (no shame calling it what it is) with absolutely no option to hide or suppress them altogether. And No, going to Smart Updates and turning it off there or on Developer Options have no bearing. If anything it's become relentlessly frequent, to the point I would refer to it as spamming.
There must be something I'm missing or doing wrong. I've always been able to disable packages this way and never really encountered this problem before. Are there any other pm commands that may do the trick? Could my ADB utilities be outdated and could that be what's causing it to fail. Or have we simply reached a dead-end with software and Android 11 no longer providing a method of removing system packages WITHOUT root or unlocking bootloader.
I still have not found a way to disable this package and the popups are driving me insane!
Is there really no working method for this??
