How to stop "update available" notice on 4.1.1, unlocked bootloader?


Best Answer Guest_BDH_* , 27 April 2013 - 11:14 AM

I had unlocked my bootloader on 4.1.1, then I installed TWRP Recovery. I then installed DST (4.1.2) and used that for a while, but had some issues with A2DP streaming and such.

 

For me, 4.1.1 worked out well - so I used fastboot to flash over the files to be back on stock 4.1.1.

 

How can I disable the OTA update message?

 

Thanks!

 

Use a root file explorer (Root Explorer or the like).

 

Navigate to /system/etc/security

Rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak

Navigate to /system/app

Rename BlurUpdater_VZW.apk to BlurUpdater_VZW.apk.bak (Or just delete the apk)

 

If the update already downloaded, navigate to /cache and delete the zip file. Then click the "install" button on the OTA popup. The update will fail and the message will go away.

You can also try my BlockOTA.zip for flashing in custom recovery.
