Freeze FOTA And Upgrader.

I've frozen both but had already had the update downloaded. I still get the popup asking me to install. Do you know where the OTA is located after download so I can try deleting it?

Try Looking On Either The Internal Or External Memory.

any filename/type i should keep an eye out for?

 

[MikeJ92YJ]

Update.zip That's An Educated Guess. Look Inside Zip Files If You Don't Recognize The Name, Look For Folders With The System, Dev, Etc Those Kinda Things.

I think it is placed in /preinstall... But I could be wrong. I was able to block the OTA by freezing 2 Updater apps.

I have a Droid X and a Droid X2 and ran into similar situations. I have the phone rooted and I'm very happy with the customizations that I have done to the phone running the stock ROM. Unfortunately, I received the OTA update and it automatically downloaded the update, which means that you'll get this nagging window every 2 hours or so asking you to install.


- I rooted my phone
- I removed some bloatware by renaming them *.apk to *.apk.bak (same as the below format but the below is important to prevent future updates)
- I renamed Fota.apk to Fota.apk.bak
- I renamed Upgrade.apk to Upgrader.apk.bak
- I allowed the update to attempt an install

- The update should FAIL because key files are missing. (they're renamed to .bak)
- After the update failed, I was never prompted again to re-download or re-install
​

Hope this helps you out. This worked for me on not only my Droid X but also on my Droid X2.

Thank you reaktorblue, worked like a charm. I didn't need to rename anything, though, as it said I didn't have the right permissions.

All I did was download the update, then used Bloat Freezer to freeze FOTA.apk and Updater.apk, and it hasn't prompted me to update since.
This was done on my Droid 2 which I use as my alarm clock, so if it restarts itself into recovery, my alarms don't go off. Thanks again.
