stop OTA update message?

[Drivenby]

I dont want to update right now to 6.29 (no root?) but this thing annoying me every 2 hours isnt good either -_-

Any quick and easy way?

Im on .608

You could try renaming /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip to, say, .bak.

Just did that w/ Root explorer , backed up the file - just in case - , will post back if it works.

Hmm, apparently it doesn't stop it from downloading the update. However it definitely won't let the update install. I'm not yet sure which application is responsible for updates.

My phone already downloaded the update , woke up this morning and it said "an update has been downloaded , would you like to install? ,etc etc"

The message just wouldnt go away .

It's in the cache inside your phone's internal memory.

Well i got the update message again , this time it says 4 hours instead of 2 ... lol?

Rename /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk to BlurUpdater_VZW.apk.bak.
Rename /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.odex to BlurUpdater_VZW.odex.bak.

That will definitely do it.

If you postpone it, it will ask again in 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, then 12 hours... and then every bloody 12 hours.

Rename /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk to BlurUpdater_VZW.apk.bak.
Rename /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.odex to BlurUpdater_VZW.odex.bak.

That will definitely do it.

Thanks, that should keep me going until there's an SBF out.

IMPORTANT Information Regarding .621 System Update - RootzWiki
suggests in video on the first post to prevent automatic updates do the following:
- rename BlurUpdater_VZW.apk to BlurUpdater_VZW.bak,
- remove BlurUpdater_VZW.odex and
- clean cache after.

Though instructions are for Droid X, but seems it corresponds with advices on this page.
