How do I get rid of the VZW update? I updated last weekend and killed my connection to AT&T, I have since rebooted and hope to get back working with AT&T, but I want to prevent the update from happening again either by itself or me accidentally pushing the wrong button. While on the subject, what can I safely delete to get rid of any verizon connection?

As far as the update.... you can freeze the updater app using titanium backup.....

I am curious tho as to how you are using AT&T and getting a VZW update?.....

Theoretically speaking, once you use *insert method here* (which we will not discuss)......to unlock and flash phone to another carrier.....or use another carrier sim card..... all ties are supposed to be cut from the original carrier.....

Maybe theoretically, but I was no longer with verizon and was using at&t (using their sim card) but I still got the verizon update.

Hmmmm..... kinda odd..... LOL anyway like I said you can use TiBu and freeze the updater app.... or (if rooted) you can simply find it and rename it (don't delete, may not be able to get it back if needed)

I would do that before using whatever method again to regain AT&T service...... since the update obviously patched the modifications that you made prior.........

Any clue what the updater app might be named?

....if i remember correctly the updater is called ota updater or something along those lines Post edited.... only because we typically do not discuss unlocking methods and/or processes here.... due to the very large grey area of legality..... sorry....

It should be updater.apk.

[Derekwh]

It should be updater.apk.

I searched Root Explorer but didn't find it, where else would I look?

Freeze in Titanium Backup or another similar app.

titanium should find it for you

I believe it is called BLUR_updater.apk or something like that.
