[Q] System Update

Hi
Is there any way to stop my phone updating itself. I am looking to block OTA updates on a Standard non rooted Samsung Rom?
John

Go into your settings, about device, software update. Then disable the auto update option. Done.

Without root I don't think you really can.

Download SuperLock Package disabler from the Play Store. I disable whatever - NOT rooted.

Ratings of the package are poor to bad for users of many Samsung models.

Or are you using a different package? I don't need this, but know of a few who don't want to root that do.

That's exactly what I use, but the pro model.
Most of the negative reviews are because you have to pay. I'm not really sure what else there is to it: it disables apps like it says.
Zero issues.

Doesn't work, License server error before program starts.
Also very dangerous tool as it needs internet to work.
If you by misstake disable something that has to do with connectivity you will end up having to do a factory restore !!
If you by misstake installed this crap onto your device, you might notice that the de-install option is greyed out, don't panic.
Go into the security section and de-select the app under device administrators.
Now it can be de-installed.
Here's a much better and SAFER alternative:

BTW,
These are the 3 packages that i needed to disable to kill OTA on my S5 with KitKat 4.4.2:

com.sec.android.fotaclient com.policydm

Uncertified Device On A Custom ROM Fix

Hi guys!
Well. as you know the available ROMs are GSI, so in a certain way, they are not official for our device, The main problems are that ROM turns laggy and when you try to access to your Google Account it is shown an advertisement saying that our "device is not certified by Google" then it shows some links to "solve" the issue but the explanation given is not working, then I'm going to explain how to fix that.
This explanation works for all the ROMs available for Moto E5 that I've shared and it's working!!
Well, you have recently installed the rom, then you need to skip the whole setup and not getting access to Wi-fi, because you won't be able to skip the setup.
Install this app
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgly6telvzts3ue/DeviceID.apk?dl=0
Open it, and select: Google Service Framework (GSF), then copy that code
Now go to this page: https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter
Paste the Hex Value and convert into decimal, then copy the Decimal Value
Go to this page: http://g.co/AndroidDeviceRegistration.
Login into your Google Account and paste your Decimal Value
Finally install this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/udfsp2su5c5m6h8/GSM.apk?dl=0
Reboot you device, and it's done
Maybe your will need to wait like 5-10 minutes until your device is registered and then you can access to all Google Services
*NOTE: Netflix is available from Play Store even having root with Magisk*
I hope you guys find this useful and working, sorry for missing screenshots but it's easy...

There's no GSF in the Device ID app

ok good to know that it is a gapps issue, because google play was preinstalled on the rom where i had the issue, maybe i had only to flash gapps over it

No, if the gapps are already installed don't do that, if you install over already installed gapps, the apps will start to crash

Well, it's been a few weeks and so far so good, that certification message was driving me nuts and now I don't have that problem, nor apps crashing

If the zip file is on the sdcard it will automatically find/select it after local upgrade

If you have the t mobile variant you won't have this option.

Variant?

Are u saying that the system can be updated only after i change the stock firmware to international? is there no other way? And is it even worth upgrading this time? Thanks in advance

You should probably reply to Post #5, as that person made the statement that the option wasn't available on the T-Mob version, as they might know more. I was just clarifying what he meant by "variant" as that term confused another user.
Is your phone rooted? That is the only reason I can see for wanting to use the local upgrade option.

tmobile version of one plus 7 pro

The option to update software by OTA has disappeared from Huawei Support App ( ! )

Within the Huawei app called Care or Support, the option to update software by OTA has disappeared.
It was very important because patches that did not appear in the phone's own update appeared in it.
Check your Huawei even if it is any other model because this option has disappeared.
I attach a screenshot, sorry that the menu is in Spanish.

I disabled it (it cannot be uninstalled), I re-enabled it, my region is Spain, I installed the updates from the App Gallery but nothing, Update has disappeared.
Well, if it has disappeared and my Mate 30 Pro is Chinese like @Sathelp , when you turn off your Mate 30 Pro or restart it, stay tuned because this option will disappear.

Turn off or reboot your phone and the check it again.
Maybe could be disappear Update option.

Log out, make a new account but choose China as your country.

I mean it should be the GoodGuardians app that is reporting this issue but the cause I think wouldn't be the app itself...

oh then thats why it started happening when i got goodguardians. But what else can it be? It probably cant be related to tasker nor any of my magisk modules, but i don't think its a malware either. I'm going to update to the new version of NcX and see if i still have this issue after i do so

Well maybe it is a conflict with the modules, as Samsung Goodguardians might think that the implementation is "corrupting files" since they are mods to the system?
