Can't turn off OTA notification - Verizon LG G3

AKA "For the love of all that's good and holy, how do I stop this?"
I've deleted the FOTA folder, and when I get the notification (about 30 times a day), I long press for App Info, but the Show Notifications checkbox is checked and greyed out so I can't uncheck it.
I tried downloading Disable Service from the Play Store, but it reports that SystemUpdateService is disabled, yet I'm still getting this notification.
Clearly, this is quite frustrating. Thanks for any help.

How did you disable it? I have seen people say TI didn't stop it, and the hidden menu didn't do it. Those peeps had to do both.

Freezing system update in titanium worked for me or flash another rom similar to stock

This is how i stopped it right here...

Just delete system update.

Did you try disabling ota in the hidden Verizon menu? Dial ##3328873 + send + 000000, uncheck ota, then delete fota files in cache again and rename LGDMSClient.apk and the same for the .odex file to .bak. Renaming seems what's working for most people instead of freezing.
Reboot
That should take care of it for you.

Deleted - already covered

Dang! I was looking for that info last week after I received my G3. I finally just took the OTA from 10B to 11C. Yeah, I can flash back but geez that would have been easier.
Thanks! (I did hit the Thanks Button)

What is that app called that I need to rename?edit: found it

Total noob here but know enough to be dangerous. I'm rooted and unlocked and was able to turn off OTAs this way. Question I have is whether there are simple and straightforward instructions on downloading and installing the lastest KDZ updates available. I did download 11C (and decompressed with LG Firmware Extract for Win) but I'm lost as to the proper steps to take from here to make sure I don't brick my precious Any resources would be much appreciated!

Thank you. I had already scrutinized this thread quite a bit, it actually directed me here and got me to the where I'm at now. However, where do I get the boot.img,modem.img,system.img files - they were not included in the KDZ. All I see in there are a bunch of bin files...

The IMG files are not in the update zip. They are somewhere in that ota incoming thread. I can post the links later if you can't find them. I'm hosting the system. IMG and have the modem.img, not sure if I have the boot, probably.

here are the files. i actually dont have the boot. probably because i never flashed it, didnt see the point. if you are going to move on to a custom rom, there is no point in flashing the system either.

Thanks! So I'm on 10B now, going to 11C. I get that I need to place the Flash2 zips on the phone, which I've done. I also get that I will place modem-11c.img and system.img in the same folder, then in TWRP, flash the zips. Is that it? I presume that I no longer really need teh KDZ I downloaded since that's basically in these files you're providing. Thanks again!

sounds close. also you need to remove the -11c from the modem file name.

Request: System Dump of full DI01 updated phone.

Someone who has done the whole DI01 update, please dump their system for me, or just the framework folder, apparently the one given to me had the stock android lockscreen patch applied to it lol.
Aside from that, the DI01 deodex works perfect, I opt_png'ed and zip_align'ed all the apk's, as well as the framework-res and twframework-res.
I will also need someone who knows how to sign updater-scripts to open the one attached, and just save it again properly and upload it for me. I am trying to get a flashable CW zip but the darn thing always gives me a status 6 error, which means the CW cannot read the updater script.
Sorry for the n00b question, but what benifit does deodexing provide? Also if there is another software update will I have to readd any .apk's to my /system folder?
Why not just flash your own system back to stock, then run the update, then dump /system? If you'd like an update script that doesn't update modem.bin, I already have one.
Assuming you're updating via CWM, why are you signing the zip? You don't need any signature, just zip the file up.
Is there anything involved in a dump besides just copying the files in /system?

Because I am too lazy to go through all that.
I don't need it signed per say. More like opened, edited, and saved properly. It is said it is best to edit the update script in s Linux based environment which I don't have, but that notepad should suffice, yet when I save it with my notepad, I get the error of cw not being able to read it properly.
I have a fresh phone that just got the D101 update. Just need directions on what if anything is involved beyond just getting the /system directory via adb.

Try a real editor, like bluefish or something.. Those scripts look like sh#! in notepad.
If no one has done it by tonight, just grab me on IRC and I'll do it under Linux for you.
Make sure you've got the file/directory structure right too.. You can't just throw a script in a zip file, but I'm sure you knew that. Myself and and a few others had the wrong directory structure at first, don't remember what error number that gave us though.. I think it just froze.
OK, how can I get it to you? I can't post links or (I think) files yet.

[Q] [Dev Help Needed]Restore System Apk

I uninstalled the Protips.apk without doing a backup first and now need to restore it so the OTA update completes. I have the file from another Photon but how do I go about getting it installed? I moved it to /system/app/ with Root Explorer but it won't install.
Do I need to push it with adb? If it somehow needs to be re-signed I'm not sure how to sign w/system signatures.
What steps can I use to complete this?
Thanks.
download the cm5 from yays thread in the dev section and then using 7zip (providing you are using windows) take everything out except protips app and flash it through recovery
If it will flash via recovery and work then would there be a reason why I can't push it via adb? The file that was sent to me should still have the original signature attached correct?
I was trying to avoid unlocking the bootloader and having to install custom recovery.

I pushed it but not sure about the sync command. Do I need to use "adb sync /system/app/"? It is asking me for a directory but don't know what I am supposed to be syncing.
**EDIT...NM. I need to know the exact syntax for the adb sync command I need to use. Nothing is working. Also, I do not have permission to run the remount command. Does this mean the system may still be read only?
Thanks.

Okay try this.
1st put the protips.apk on your sd card then
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /sdcard/protips.apk /system/app
sync
reboot
this should work
You know do don't actually install the apk. Just drop it in the system/app folder in reboot.
Perhaps I misunderstood your problem.

Yes. However it seems the Protips.apk I have might not be signed properly because it never installs upon reboot. So I was trying to find a way to make this work.

Tried it. All commands went through without issue. After reboot I tried doing the update but when it scans for existing files it still stops at 30%. It is still either not finding Protips.apk or there is something wrong with the file I have. A friend of mine emailed to me in an attachment. Don't know of any other way to get it without knowing how to properly extract an sbf file. Maybe if someone has a TB backup of it and could send to me? Then I could try restoring it. Not sure if something like that would be worth a try.

protips is the only thing that you don't have?
I am not sure. this thread has the ota as an sbf. I saw in another thread you were worried about having to reactivate again. The phone will program over the air you won't have an issue at all. I wish I could help you get protips installed correctly but I am still finding my way around moto. I guess that the mount command we used could be wrong. Not sure :/

Yes. I deleted Protips.apk after rooting and didn't make a backup. The update errors every time because of that file not being installed it seems. Do you think that leaked OTA would restore the missing apk?

This leak is the same as the OTA. The only difference between installing this and downloading the OTA is having to reset everything up.

I'm gonna go ahead and try to figure out how to do the leaked one. I pulled the Protips.apk from Juggs file and still doesn't work. Weird that I can't go to it in Root Explorer and just install it.
Anyways, phone has been factory reset anyways so I'm not worried about having to set it all back up.
Thanks for your help.

Error on update to V20F

In case you want to do the actually OTA with your phone, and got some errors (dead android), you might want to check:
+ if you are using "CWM Recovery" (then uninstall it as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825)
+ if you are using "Remove QSlide Apps from NotificationBar" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194423)
But don't use the QSlide revert file from above thread, it doesn't restore the exact matched file for OTA to work with (you can try if you want). To save you some trouble, I have attach the original files (LGSystemUI.apk and its odex). Unzip and overwrite them in the folder /system/app (use ES Explorer to remount /system RW first).
+ still not found the problem, check the few last lines of this file: /system/cache/recovery/last_log
It should say which file mismatches the checksum, and in the case of mine, it is LGSystemUI.apk, which I cannot find anything related searching google. And that's why I make the thread so people can search google and found it here.

If you are rooted then all you need to do is find a nandroid backup of previous jb and flash it. Then you use the trick to force the OTA. If you are not rooted then the only thing I can say is download the kdz, flash it, and wait for the OTA.
there are a few things that manipulate the system: link2sd, overclocking, busybox, custom recovery. . .My thing was the busybox. I totally forgot that I downloaded it and my update didn't work at first. Good Luck

I have no mods or edited system files or anything like that. All I ever did was CWM and root. Had qslide removed but reverted.
Make sure MD5 sum is correct. The other stuff doesn't matter. You are flashing a full backup not an OTA which requires all stock apps.

In my OP, I said "don't use the QSlide revert file from above thread, it doesn't restore the exact matched file for OTA to work with".
In case you still have trouble with the OTA, try to follow what I wrote: "To save you some trouble, I have attach the original files (LGSystemUI.apk and its odex). Unzip and overwrite them in the folder /system/app (use ES Explorer to remount /system RW first)."
Hope that helps!
For other people with problems, I suggest to use the Recovery Flashable Zip mentioned in one of the reply.
Or, if you are as paranoid as I am (who knows what people might put in those zip file ) (and somewhat technically knowledgeable), "check the few last lines of this file: /system/cache/recovery/last_log" to see what file got error, and try to get the original file from 20D (which should have the matched SHA1 checksum) and replace them.

Android 5.0 Lollipop memory leak fix for LG G Watch

As you may know, there's a well-known Android 5.0 Lollipop issue - Memory leak.
Lots of community built ROMs out there has already applied the "supposed" fix.
Why not our LG G Watch?
For such devices which has a very long uptime, memory leaks are critical.
This "fix" should benefit to a "stabler" LG G Watch
Just throw the attached "services.jar" on /system/framework and reboot.
It'll rebuild all of the ART caches, so the initial boot after applying may take up to 15 minutes.
<Tested on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop build>
V2 - Support for Android 5.0.2 Lollipop build
Memory leak patches taken from
https://github.com/temasek/android_frameworks_base/commits/cm-12.0/services/core/java/com/android/server/display
Thanks to @temasek !!
Hello arter97. Thanks for your support. Could you please be so kind to tell us how to do it?
For your information, I am currently on Gohma 2.3 and to tell you the truth, with the wear mini launcher running on the background, the g watch sometimes feels unresponsive.
Thanks again for your patience

Great thank you
Can someone please post instructions for getting the zip file on to the watch so that it can flashed by TWRP. Or how to move the services.jar to the proper location on the watch with correct permissions. I have already searched the threads, however all I can find are how to sideload apps not move files.
*Update* Finally found what I needed, so here it is.
adb push services.zip /sdcard/services.zip

That's the one, though I usually do adb push services.zip /sdcard/Download/services.zip, but it makes no difference whether it's in the sdcard, or a subdirectory.
Great job guys, my watch is finally usable again, thanks a lot @arter97 for making this and @Apoplectic1 for making it a zip so it is easier to apply the mod.
Do we still need this file if we're on 5.0.2?

Just throw the attached "services.jar" on /system/framework and reboot.
It'll rebuild all of the ART caches, so the initial boot after applying may take up to 15 minutes.
<Tested on Android 5.0.1 Lollipop LWX48P build>

@arter97 is this fix also available for Nexus 5? I've used this - isn't it enough?
Thanks
Thank you! I'm waiting for an updated Ghoma release as I didn't see any sense in returning to stock to do the ota update, while it works its very smooth for me, in the mean time we'll see if this solves my crash about every-other day issue.
FYI if you're having trouble pushing the file directly to /system/framework I'd recommend placing it somewhere that doesn't require root privs to write to, such as /sdcard/Download and then doing an adb shell, su, remount system, and copying it from there into /system/framework. Make sure you back up your current services.jar in case something goes wonky.
--edit-- ERROR: caused watch to fall into a completely unresponsive state, though the time was still updating. Had to connect to usb and force a reboot with adb to break it out of whatever happened. Don't have time to diagnose further right now, reverted to stock services.jar for the moment. I'm not saying this is a general issue with this mod yet, just that it didn't work on my watch.
New V2 for 5.0.2 is now up.
Im getting "read only file system" or something like that. Also cant get it to work with su commands. I'd appreciate if someone will make flashable zip for 5.0.2 update (im currently on stock recovery, but it can be changed easily with g watch tools)
Actually i made flashable zip myself (not sure if correct, but it worked). But considering fact that first "services.jar" which was uploaded for older version should replace file by same name in system/framework, shouldnt newest version be called "services" also? Now i ended up having in my framework folder "services_v2.jar" AND "services.jar". Should i rename this one with "v2"? Or is it intended to leave both of them?

It's only services.jar. Rename the new one.
Thanks @arter97! Looking forward to a more stable 5.0.2!

Thats what i did, working great, thanks! Do any of you by any chance know how to stop ota notification from appearing? (i tried going back to 5.0.1 after installing 5.0.2 but this notification appeared again )

B170 update arrived

So my friend got an update to the huawei XT. He was already at b160. The new update is labeled as b170 which i think it could gain some hope this phone will get nougat sometime (most likely not). The update only has a device security patch. The security is from june 5 which is pretty old but i guess it's better. If someone else received the update post it here
got the notice for update at noon today - but alas, I have mine rooted so it tried to update, and then reset and is back at 160.
and yes, was really hoping beyond hope for some Nougat...
We need someone then to unroot the phone and update to b170 or at least check how to update to b170
See this post and links in it for how we updated before if the phone was already rooted (and for stock phones that can't OTA due to non-AT&T SIM) :

If anyone is able to capture the B170 update and upload it somewhere I'll try and make a TWRP flashable update
My phone doesn't see any updates yet
Could you briefly describe how to do this please? Can it be done from a phone with a locked bootloader or must the bootloader be unlocked?

you would need Root and a Root explorer - file manager
you would go to settings / Software update / download the update
choose to install it later
then with the root explorer search your phone for an update.zip
I'm not sure where it's stored I'm looking for that information now
after you find the update.zip file copy it to your phones storage and upload it to your google drive (or anywhere I can download it from)
if you know the exact location the update.zip is stored you could possibly adb pull the file without having root
Update should be in /cache/fotapkg/update.zip

iirc, on huawei, it's in a folder on internal storage. shouldn't need root to grab it.

Thanks seems AT&T likes to put them in the path I described though
I'm pretty sure we can edit the updater script to install this from TWRP if someone captures it

working on grabbing it now.
Tried grabbing it - and messed up and got past the waiting part - it tried to update and (of course) failed. I'll give it another shot shortly.

Good deal .. what was the name and path to the update file ?
you could possibly grab it with the TWRP file manager also

When I get it I'll get all that as well.
The ATT update note calls it B160_B170_SMR_100 , I hit continue when I tried to hit "remind me later" - but it redownloaded.
Ghost Commander shows nothing in the /cache - odd - so I don't know where it's actually sticking it. I'm searching for it both under that name above and also as update.zip and anything else I can think of (by date, since it just re-downloaded)
I'll grab and document all the info on what I got where.
File is in /cache/fotapkg/ but is named package_temp.zip
I have it out, xda won't accept the file that large, trying to figure out how to link that file only to my onedrive so you can get it without access to all my other junk (sorry)

OneDrive link to file package_temp.zip should be 102 mb in size.
Got it using Total Commander. It seems to be better at grabbing root files than Ghost was.
Also, one other note - I modified the permissions from root root to everyone so that may need to get changed back (or not - you tell me) to be able to get it to move.

ok my phone doesn't see the file as an update ..where was it located ?
that is the file sent down from ATT to the phone. I have unzipped it and looked at it as well -it's 209MB unzipped. Contains the following files and drawers:
cust.new
cust.patch
cust.transfer
system.new
system.patch
system.transfer
UPDATE.APP
(drawer) META-INF
(drawer) com
(drawer) android
otacert
(drawer) google
(drawer) android
update-binary
update-script
blacklist.conf
CERT.RSA
CERT.SF
MANIFEST.MF
If you can't get the .zip to open, let me know and I'll stick it on one drive unzipped.

Well I'm sorry to report so far I have had no luck installing this thing
I have tried the dload/update.app using the dialer method and the update flashes but you have no wifi afterwords
and the phone still shows you on B160 (cust not updated / system files not patched)
I also tried with Flashify and Stock recovery and used an edited updater script in TWRP and all fail for one reason or another
Sooo the only way we will get this is if someone that has done the update
uses TWRP and creates a system.img and cust.img and uploads it somewhere for me
So I can build the B170_Full_Update.zip
Any idea how the phone installs this OTA zip file?
Is the updater-script failing because of assert statements for cust and system?
Have you had success patching cust and system using the OTA updater-script/OTA zips for the Huawei Ascend XT before? How did you end up getting the cust and system for your B160 Update zip? Probably from a TWRP of someone's updated B160, which is what we need to do for B170 now, I'm guessing?
Thanks for your efforts on this and answering my questions.
