Hi guys after a little help.

Im still running 4.4.2, rooted,bumped etc.

The first day this thread came about i disabled OTA in the secret menu - but today i was prompted for a software update - (apps) it says.

Not sure how this got through so i went to /cache and theres nothing there that looks like its a downloaded .zip file, this may just be for firmware that have downloaded?

Anyways no drama i open the software notfication (long press) and went to "app info" and i am unable to untick/deselect "show notifications"

How can i stop this from notifiying, should i just remove LG's Software Update app (i still have it installed)
[G3 Android Development] p70shooter:
Freeze it with titanium backup or you can delete it. Worked for me.

HOW exactly do you "flash" those .img files? There isn't a flash option in TWRP.

thanks,

[G3 Android Development] deathsquad737:
Yeah there is it's called install

[G3 Android Development] Mahapederdon:
Take the 3 zips from the OP and put them in a folder you create on the root of your SD card and then put the. IMG files in with those zips. The zips tell TWRP to flash the. IMG files that way.
[G3 Android Development] RandomPooka:
^^ funny ^^

^^ How to actually do the funny thing ^^
[G3 Android Development] deathsquad737:
Ok here we go create a folder name flash2 in your sdcard it will come up right after your download folder give or take down load each flash2 zip place them in flash2 folder take your modem.img or system.img whatever.put them in the flash2 folder. Boot into recovery press install navigate to flash2 folder hit the first zip swipe to install repeat said step boom flashed and the folder doesn't go in the root section it goes in the normal directory

[G3 Android Development] Amb669:
I'm having a little difficulty understanding why this guide exists.

I already disabled OTA from the settings menu, So what's the point of this guide? Does disabling OTA in the settings not work or something??
[G3 Android Development] RandomPooka:
It's for people who haven't figured out to disable the ota yet
[G3 Android Development] Amb669:
I understand that.

But why would people do all this stuff when people can just disable OTA in the settings like I did?

I can't see ANY reason to have to go into the hidden menu or terminal emulator to disable OTA when it can be done right in the settings menu, Unless there is something I am missing here??

I ask for 2 reasons;

1. I'm just curious why people would do all this extra work, for what appears to me as no reason?

2. After seeing this thread and watching everyone go through all this extra stuff to disable OTA makes me wonder if there is something wrong with disabling OTA in the settings?
[G3 Android Development] RandomPooka:
It's possible that some of the variants don't allow you to do it that easily. I wouldn't put it past some carriers trying to keep you from disabling the OTA.
[G3 Android Development] Amb669:
Ahhh, I thought that too, Good call.

I just wanted to make sure I was safe from the OTA since I only disabled it in the settings, When I saw this thread I got scared haha.
[G3 Android Development] jaybird38:
Just got an ota. I had it blocked but popped up. I don't see any update file in root browser. Am I looking in wrong place? Or how do I get rid of it.I read op 1st post but am lost.

I seem to have fixed it with titanium backup. Froze update.
[G3 Android Development] dk2463:
We are still waiting for someone to get the URL to the OTA, if you've removed it I guess we can't get it from you.
[G3 Android Development] jaybird38:
I don't know what that means. I can unfreeze it and try. Tell me how.
[G3 Android Development] dk2463:
That's way over my head as well. Hopefully someone can give you the correct steps.
[G3 Android Development] jaybird38:
I unfroze update and tried an alogcat. Emailed it to me but didn't see any url. Any suggestions?

I saved alogcat to my email. let me know who to send it to.I don't know how to read it properly. Or how to get the url out of it.

Can Anyone please tell me if I can flash an extracted KDZ, namely 5.0 V20D , only boot, system and modem

Will I run into any problems or it's the process same flashing an extracted kk KDZ?
[G3 Android Development] scottspa74:
Similar issue here.

I got the system update notice the night before I rooted. Says Update is downloaded.

When I look in /cache, none of the folders have any contents. All empty. Not sure what I'm missing.
[G3 Android Development] quadjacks:
Came home to an update. I'm already on 11c with root and bumped. Does anyone know that this is about?
[G3 Android Development] markfm:
It is probably this: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8sTZFIblGePX3prWEk3dk1VTk0/preview

Don't try to install this if you are bumped/twrp, unless you want practice getting out of being stuck booting to recovery mode :)

If a dev wants to try repackaging it to something installable on a rooted phone, awesome :)

Here are the contents of the fota folder: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8sTZFIblGePM3JHbDNSLXVreVE/edit?usp=docslist_api

Hi, I have a LGLS990 from sprint. Which fie do I need to freeze with tb? I looked through the posts but could not find if it is mentioned. Thanks
[G3 Android Development] RandomPooka:
It was literally the second comment. First, if you aren't counting the place holder comment.
[G3 Android Development] jreink01:
Thanks. I froze that file but I'm still getting the update notification.
[G3 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Did you also get into the OTA disable settings screen, by chance? I've been on CM12 for about 3 weeks, so I haven't had any attempted OTA pushes.
[G3 Android Development] markfm:
"System updates..." is the app to freeze with TiBu. If you want to do it an alternate way, go into /system/app and add a .bak to the two LGDMSClient files.

Last item, check /cache/fota, delete any files in there.
[G3 Android Development] jreink01:
Just found it by long clicking on the notification and unchecking show notifications. This is the Google Play Services. Thanks
[G3 Android Development] cap1tal1sm:
I'm trying to flash system.img but when it starts installing the bar just sits at 0% and looks like its chugging but it never fills. Then it just says it works, then reboots into an LG screen not booting. Any help? VS985
[G3 Android Development] RohanM:
How to disable OTA from downloading completely ?

I have renamed all files like otacerts.zip.bak & lgfota.apk/odex, still it downloads the damn update.

Having G2 Sprint. Sorry for the wrong section but no one answers in G2 thread.
[G3 Android Development] markfm:
[MENTION=4907603]RohanM[/MENTION] -- Rename the two /system/app LGDMSClient files, just add a .bak to the end, then restart.

Otherwise, if you have Titanium Backup, freeze "System updates ..."

Delete any files you find in /cache/fota

At least on g3, I didn't need to touch the two files you mentioned.
[G3 Android Development] RohanM:
Thnx for replying..

I have found these files.. should I rename them ?
[G3 Android Development] markfm:
Yes, rename the two LGDMSClient files, just add a .bak at the end of the name ( LGDMSClient.odex.bak, LGDMSClient.apk.bak), and restart your phone.

After resetting, under settings, you will see that System updates no longer shows up.
[G3 Android Development] RohanM:
[MENTION=5193342]markfm[/MENTION] Thanks man.

I have renamed the files & also deleted the update from cache.

Rebooted. Now under sys update it only shows "Restart & Install" If I click it it countdowns to 10-0 sec & nothing happens. again go to settings under sys update it shows the same "Restart & Install".. Haha.. :D

I guess the issue is now resolved.

Thnks dude.
[G3 Android Development] mjjcb:
I'm just curious. If I don't see that file, com.lge.lgfota (whatever) in TB, does that mean it's been removed or renamed? I haven't had any hints of an ota push. Just wondering. I'm on BarRin, and maybe Engine dusted it.

Thanks, Pooka. You're one of the champions in our Sprint G3 world.
[G3 Android Development] RandomPooka:
There's a good chance that he did remove the OTA update files. Dude knows what's up. He's one of the champions; I'm just a loudmouth with a barely passing knowledge of the internals of the AOSP ROMs.
[G3 Android Development] mjjcb:
Humility. You share that with Engine as well. Thanks for your response!
[G3 Android Development] JMak00:
If HiddenMenu view has been limited you can use the command below to bring up the OTA disable menu.

Code:

adb shell

su

am start com.lge.hiddenmenu/.wlan_service.wifi_ota_buttons

So, I am on a sprint lg g3. I removed the ota update from cache, renamed the two specified system files, but cannot figure out how to disable ota per the instructions above. My hidden menu appears to be limited, so where do I enter the code provided above?

Apologies for the noob question.
[G3 Android Development] markfm:
If you have a root explorer, can get to the area with directories like acct, /cache, /config, /etc (in ES File Explorer it is the area called "Device"), go to /system/app, then rename the two LGDMSClient files, by appending a .bak to the end of them (e.g., ...apk.bak, ...odex.bak).

Next, go to /cache/fota, delete any files you see.

Reboot.

You should no longer get OTA.
[G3 Android Development] MarstMachi:
Did you open the hidden menu as mentioned in the original post? That seems to have worked for me.
[G3 Android Development] Slmii92:
I am still getting the notification afer disabling the WLAN Test. I worked for a day, but I just got the OTA notification again. Can some one help me with this?
[G3 Android Development] markfm:
Freeze or rename whatever your system update app is. For example, on Verizon VS985 you would freeze "System updates...", or go to /system/app and rename the two LGDMSClient files (add a .bak to the end of the existing filename) Other carriers may use a different update app name.
[G3 Android Development] Slmii92:
If I want to update to Lollipop, will it work if I unfreeze the system update app OR remove the .bak at the end of the files? I'm not sure myself and I dont wan't to mess things up should I ever want to update.
[G3 Android Development] markfm:
If you haven't installed a custom recovery (e.g., twrp), then unfreezing or renaming the files (getting rid of the .bak) should have the OTA come in and be applied.

For instance, just for kicks I unfroze "System updates..." on my phone when it was at 11c, and the 12b OTA came in and tried to install. Since I also have twrp, the install didn't succeed; I used autoprime's fix for booting to recovery to get rid of the OTA files and clear things up, then refroze "System updates...:
[G3 Android Development] Slmii92:
Thanks for the help, I just wanted to be certain :good:
[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
Will this work for d852? (canadian)
[G3 Android Development] p70shooter:
Should do, try it.
[G3 Android Development] NegativeOne:
Does this work for 11C on VS985? For some reason the site in the OP doesn't list higher than 12B for this phone, yet mine has been nagging me to install 11C for a week now.

I see this: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/VS985/stock_partitions/11C is it the right set of files?
[G3 Android Development] markfm:
Take a look in /cache/fota. If there's anything in there, then flash the autoprime file from the first post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2907508

Then, make sure to either freeze "System updates...", or rename the LGDMSClient files. On Verizon LG G3, that is the software that looks for OTAs. Freeze or delete and your phone will no longer download OTAs.
[G3 Android Development] Bad4ss:
Thank you for your very clear guide, I will now try this with the latest Lollipop OTA update, but I'm a little unsure, whether after I split and install it using TWRP that TWRP will be able to root it during the flashing/reboot process. I heard that Google have locked down Lollipop quite tightly to prevent access to the phones SD memory and external SD card from a PC and phone explorers.

WIll I have full access with the latest Lollipop OTA update?

D850 on stock KitKat rooted. Any way to apply the Lolipop OTA update that came out today without losing root?

Would flashing TWRP, applying the OTA zip in TWRP, then flashing SuperSu in TWRP to get root back work?
[G3 Android Development] meyerweb:
I'm pretty sure the OTA isn't flashable in TWRP. It needs a purely stock configuration to work. As of today, I don't believe anyone has figured out a way to root the OTA.

So when i download these system/boot/modem zip files are they for the VS985 11C version or what is in them? Sorry in advance for being a noob but ive never tried to do this before and i need the 11C files because thats the update im on.
[G3 Android Development] RandomPooka:
What files did you download? How can we help if you don't give us that information?
[G3 Android Development] ToF_Itachi:
I did tell you? I said the system, modem, and boot. I downloaded the Flash2 ones though. But every stock rom i download i cant seem to find the LGDSMClient files. Or whatever. Like is there any way to just download those two files by itself.
[G3 Android Development] RandomPooka:
No, you didn't. This is a thread for ALL THE G3 variants. Which files, specifically, did you download? For which device from which links?

This is what you posted: "So when i download these system/boot/modem zip files are they for the VS985 11C version or what is in them?"

How can I, or anyone else, know if the files you downloaded are for the VS985 11C if you don't specify what the source of the files is? There's the d850, d851, d852, vs985, ls990, f400, and so on and so forth. Since this thread is not specific to one of those devices, but for all of them, nobody could begin to tell you whether you downloaded the right files or not because we don't know where you got them from. Can you provide that information?

Also, you never mentioned LGDSMClient until the reply.

[G3 Android Development] tmjm28:
Hey guys,

I did the OTA, lollipop is wicked, but not as wicked as a 4.4.2 on root. I Decided to do a factory reset and go back to stock 4.4.2. then I tried downloading the kdz, extracting the system, boot, and modem images in hopes of flashing lollipop on my own. I was able to extract and merge all the system files into a sinlge .img file . when it comes to the modem and boot part , I am lost. I see a boot_196608.bin and modem_32768.bin files, but dont know what to do with them. there is also many more .bin files in the extracted kdz pile which is confusing. Can anyone help me out ? simply put, i have the system image, i see the modem and boot .bin, what now? also confused about how to put the img files into a folder and flash them. will i just flash one file with 6 pieces within (3 zips and 3 .img files) or flash 3 files with 2 pieces within ( system zip and system img etc in each file). hope that all made sense. thanks in advance
[G3 Android Development] zennonace:
Just rename the boot_xXxX.bin to boot.img, do the same with the modem.

Muchos thankos! Appreciate the help, I'll attempt it tomorrow . If anyone has the need for the img files (and the boot /modem once I figure that bit out) , I'll be happy to share them and help save you a bit of time.
[G3 Android Development] tmjm28:
Welp, zero luck after spending hours trying to figure it out. I downloaded the flash2 modem, boot, and system zips as outlined in number 2 and put them on my internal SD card. In a separate folder on my internal sd card (flash2) I put the system.img ( 3 gigabytes in size) along with the modem.bin and boot.bin files (replaced bin with img). So basically I had 4 "pieces" in play on the internal SD, the 3 seperate flash2system/boot/modem zips which I flashed and 1 folder with system /boot/ modem img within. After flashing the 3 zips, recovery said successful but when I rebooted my phone its rebooted into Kit Kat. I then tried flashing the 3 zips again, only this time I placed the system image the boot image and the modem image inside the downloaded flash2 zips. No success again. I should add that I had software update frozen with rOM Toolbox pro. Frustrating to say the least, absolutely hate non rooted firmware .
[G3 Android Development] tmjm28:
These are not the actual files, I just put together the visual to make my problem a little more clear. I then tried to put the 3 images in the flash2 folder inside the zip files and that did not work also
[G3 Android Development] DE52:
From what I understood in the OP, you have to:

- Create flash2 folder in your internal storage and place the .img files there.

- Download the flash2xxx.zip folders and put them in your phone.

- Go into recovery, make your backups, then flash all 3 zips.

- Reboot, say yes to the prompt to root, then it should boot up.

P.S. I haven't attempted it myself except from a stock based ROM which is probably why it failed lol. Should of used my head. Anyway, just ended up with a boot error and I restored my backup

On the Note 3, Google Calendar's month view displayed the text for appointments throughout the month. On the Note 4, all I see in Month view is some colored lines indicating the times of appointments each day, but no text describing them. Is there some setting to restore the text in Month view? If not, this is a major step backward. (All appointment information displays properly in Week or Day view.)

UPDATE: It's been fixed!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmot:
So I decided to install PA 4.6 BETA4 on my Nexus 4, 4.3 JWR66Y Phone which is unlocked and rooted. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to install the latest TWRP recovery, put the pa_mako-4.6-BETA4-20141007.zip and pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141011-signed.zip onto my phone. Went into recovery to flash the two. The PA ROM went successful, tried flashing the gapps and it just says failed. I tried redoing the ROM flash then gapps again but that doesn't work.

I had the dumb idea of moving my nandroid backup to my computer and now I can't transfer it back to my phone using adb sideload. I go into ADB sideload in TWRP, and it just says no devices found when trying to transfer maually. When I try using NRToolkit, it fails as well.

Any advice? I feel like I've searched everywhere. I don't know what the next step to take is. Maybe Flash Stock + Unroot option on the NRToolkit? Have I somehow flashed incompatible zip files?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmot:
UPDATE: I got the gapps to install successfully. I installed Wifi File Explorer through NRToolkit in order to transfer files to my phone. And transferred the same exact file to my phone. I tried flashing the file and it worked... I'm guessing the wired transfer corrupted the file somehow. Thank you NRT for that option to install apks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Good to know that you managed to get it working :). Could you add a [SOLVED] tag on the title of your thread?

Also, I'd like to point out that when you tried to copy the backup file via adb sideload it had a reason to not work! Adb sideload was born to flash zips which are transfered via adb to the device. Loading then as soon as they are loaded. To copy the files back to your device using adb you should have used the "adb push" command, which is like a "copy/paste" on the shell ;). Hope this helps in the future.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmot:
Ah of course that makes sense. I think I tried just pushing the file when I was in the bootloader as well, but it also gave me devices not found. Not sure why, but anyways thanks for the reply. Hopefully this might help out someone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

In bootloader you mean fastboot right? If so, you can't use adb on this mode. To push a file via fastboot is only the stock image using "fastboot install" or "fastboot boot".
