It might download them without permission, but you can always say "Install Later". It will be annoying though. Change your build.prop to say you aren't on 6.11.748 and wipe data/cache. You won't get notification anymore (hopefully)I am running 2.3.5 and I don't want to update. When moto tries to update me to 2.3.6 can I refuse it or is there some other way to prevent updates or do the updates occur without my permission?

How would I do these 2 things?

Wipe data from my utility or by going to Motorola Recovery (power it on by holding all 3 buttons on the right side) and choose Recovery. Then both volume buttons at the triangle.How would I do these 2 things?
Use Root Explorer to edit your build.prop.

It will still bug you with it, which I think Pego wants to avoid.You could always just delete a single piece of bloat, Verizon/Moto will never let you upgrade!

Asking the obvious question - why would you not want to update?I am running 2.3.5 and I don't want to update. When moto tries to update me to 2.3.6 can I refuse it or is there some other way to prevent updates or do the updates occur without my permission?
The 2.3.6 ROM is a serious improvement on the Razr.

Easier way then matt said, just change the build.prop with a custom roms or one from the systemdump.
....only problem your have to do it again after the next update ( if it works)
Use root browser (free) to rename the original to build1.prop or something. drop the new one in and reboot.

How do I get 2.3.6? Is it as easy to root as 2.3.5 was?
2.3.6 roots just as easily via the motofail method. This method is included in Mattlgroff's utility which I recommend using.
As for updating to 2.3.6, there are quite a few changes. Many of us (myself included) have gotten better battery life as well as improved 4G data. Lots of other changes to the Moto apps and system were made as well. I found it to be an upgrade in any way I could imagine it being done. This update is NOT able to be installed via Mattlgroff's utility however. You will need to be on an upgradeable .748 (no system apps deleted/frozen, pre-install folder still in place, etc) and upgrade by either installing in Motorola's official recovery or allowing the OTA to handle itself.

It's pretty transparent as far as an upgrade goes. Your launcher screens, settings, apps, etc. will all persist. But like others have said, the changes under the hood are awesome.How is 2.3.6 better than 2.3.5? I should update with matts utility and the reroot 2.3.6? Will I have to set up all my screens again?
