So I just re put on BB0.4 wipe cache and data and now this Froyo notification update keeps coming up. It says downloaded and ready to install and just a button that says restart and install.
How can I disable this and all future OTA updates? Thanks all!
If you have SPRecovery installed, just let your phone attempt to install the update. SPR will block it and reboot your phone.
After that, you shouldnt get the notification anymore.
I have clock work one so would that do the same ya think? thanks!

guys, if you are running a custom rom check in your area to see what's been done about this. I have seen post where rooters are hitting the install button and it's installing and removing root. Now I'm not 100% certain, I've only seen one person that this has happened too but be careful.
I am rooted running clockwork, letting the update install brings me to a ! in the triangle right after the install starts. Reboot right after this and no issue's at all. There is a thread in the Bugless Beast rom area about a StopOTA patch they did, that appears to work as well.
Not sure why others are loosing root -
If you are running a custom ROM based on FRG01B do not downloan Pete's StopOTA. I did and found I was locked in the M screen. A couple of battery pulls later I was able to boot into recovery and restore.Quote:

Yea I did it and got the triangle ! with clockwork.
Thanks for the help!!!
Hook, thanks for the calming, reassuring words. :)Quote:

Wasn't sure what to do (I'd assumed the install would begin automatically) so I navigated to Install, and sat there looking at the menu for a few minutes.
- Install custom ROM (in so many words)..."no, that's not right"
- allow update.zip installation..."OK, maybe"
- Install /sdcard/update.zip/ (deprecated)..."Hmm, doesn't feel right"
So I started to do what I do when I install a new ROM--went with option 2. Then I remembered that the update.zip file in my SD root was the last kernel I installed. Surely that wouldn't work.
So anyway, I backed out, and decided to reboot without installing anything. Not sure where the OTA install file is right now, but after restarting the phone the update notice is gone.

Blocked OTA confirmed. I accepted the update and was prompted to the triangle with a ! in the middle. Press power button and click reboot system. No more annoying update notification!
Noob question: 2 weeks ago I rooted my stock 2.1 with easyroot and installed BB v0.4 w/ NexTheme. If I want to manually update official 2.2 in the future, can I unroot from my current state, or do I need to do something in ROM manager first? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
