[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beartooth01:
I just received an extended refurbished warranty replacement for a dead VZW Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 NC5. My old model was rooted, safestrapped, custom rommed, and had ota apps disabled. This new phone is also an NC5 (build date before June, so no problem rooting with TowelRoot). However, when I activated it and rooted it, the upgrade for NG6 was downloaded but not installed. I've rooted the phone and frozen the OTA apps, but I get an annoying popup every few minutes asking if I want to install the new upgrade now or later (clicking later produces a clock to set the time for an automatic upgrade). There is no option for not upgrading. I DON'T want the NG6 build, but the constant popup, which I have to clear with the Back key each time is a roaring PITA.

Anybody know how to disable the popup? The upgrade is already downloaded and I'd like to delete this as well as it is no doubt taking up #*%@^ unnecessary storage, but haven't found the right directory yet.

Any help will be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] V0latyle:
Yout best bet would probably be to do a full wipe, such as an Odin, and restore the phone that way, then immediately root and freeze OTA updates before the phone has the chance to downloaf them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XRSTOY1:
Try this,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856632

you'll still get the pop up so go ahead and hit update, it wont be able to find the update so it will bomb out, and not bother you again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beartooth01:
Thanks - worked for a while - then popup returned

I did try that. The popup went away for several days and then came back. There must be at least one root-level app I haven't disabled.

Thanks for the help, but I'm afraid I still need a bit more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beartooth01:
Still having popups...

When I first got the phone, I disabled OTA, I ran the update - which failed, of course. It got rid of the popup, but I did not wipe the phone as I am a longtime Motorola Droid user and am not totally comfortable using Odin (This is my first Samsung and it's like going from Droid expert to Odin newbie). I have since restored nandroid and Titanium backups from the previous phone (this is a warranty refurb). The backups also included disabled OTA apps from my previous S4. Apparently, I missed one somewhere, as the behavior just recently returned. I'm going fishing on the root level again [sigh].

If anybody would be so kind as to list the exact .apks and their directories involved in OTA, I can make sure they are still disabled and run another failed update. This may be different from my Droids, since it is being referred to as a Samsung build update, and not an Android version update.

If anybody knows where the downloaded update is hiding, I can remove that as well.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fxwrangler:
Im pretty sure the app u need to freeze is listed as SDM.. That should stop the update and popup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beartooth01:
Thanks also.

I always rename SDM.apk and FWUpgrade.apk, but, with Samsung (with the OTA already pushed, but not installed), I had to jump through several other hoops. To see what else you can do to solve the problem, check out:

re-rooting after MJ7 kernal pushed by google?

Well - renaming SDM.apk and FWUpgrade.akp stopped the totally annoying push notification for google's new MJ7 build for the S4. But by renaming SDM.apk, my Verizon app visual voice mail stopped working. When I returned the SDM.apk file to it's original name, the visual voice mail works, but I get the annoying notification from google over and over.

I'm trying YouMail app for visual software and am waiting to hear from them about whether their app uses SDM.apk. If YouMail is like Verizon's visual voice mail and uses SDM.apk, then my next thought is to unroot the phone, let Google do their update to MJ7, then re-root. I'm wondering if anyone has done this.

My phone came with NG6. To root, I had to flash the NG5 stock kernal, then root using towelroot. Once rooted, I flashed the NG6 kernal. If I unroot and let google flash their new MJ7 kernal, will I be able to repeat the root process (flash NG5, the root, then flash MJ7)? If that route were possible, would I need to find a separate place to download the MJ7?

Is there any other way to stop google's annoying notificaton and pushing MJ7 at me? All help greatly appreciated.

My apology. I missed this link first time thru this thread. That link to a thread titled "[HOW TO] Disable OTA Update Notifications!!!!!!!!!!!!!" is pretty helpful. We'll see in a day or two if the notification and push attempt continues, but I'm pretty optimistic following the instructions in that thread will stop it.

Checked old threads, and even made a thread a couple months ago about this question, but it goes a bit further.

I've finally rooted using this method: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/root-nb4-knox-0x0-t2802185

I didn't trip knox, that's great right?! Well, I went further, installed xposed, then gravity box and started playing around with my newly rooted device.

I then installed supersu (I haven't really needed it but I wanted to test something out from another thread, here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-safe-knox/366118-solution-how-permanently-remove-knox.html)

Well I've removed Knox!

Not quite: because knox is located in the bootloader, it's a little more complicated to remove. My question (finally) is that even though I've disabled knox as a pesky security feature, if I were to finally enable a custom recovery, or flash to a different rom (I wanna go aosp, and go to lolipop) would I have issues with knox again, and trip the counter? I still want to upgrade my phone using JUMP but I don't want to have problems with T-Mobile.

Thanks guys!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsmarch:
Kinda what I thought would happen unless you changed the bootloader.

You can't change it unless it has the same certificate from Samsung right? Even if you copied it over to a different bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1eyedmonster:
I know once you have the latest bootloader you can't go back and with the forthcoming android L you will need the latest bootloader so I would just update to the latest version and root and flash away aosp or whatever I know it invalidates your warranty but for me it's worth the risk however the cm12 alpha is full of bugs so I would wait for a beta at least to avoid disappointment

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kowaliszyn:
I was trying to get my HTC one from Rogers back to stock to take advantage of their suretap promotion that is running right now.

I had gotten to the point where I had installed the Rogers RUU RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Rogers_WWE_4.19.631.9_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_351317_signed_2.

From what I was reading once I had that I could flash a stock recovery and that would allow me to use OTA updates again. Everything was ok up to the point where I tried to install the OTA update. The update failed and when I rebooted my phone it showed a blue screen with little darker blue lines on it, then a purple screen with little yellow lines on it before it stops on the HTC one screen and doesn't do anything else.

I can boot into fastboot and recovery but can't seem to get anything to work from there.

Has anyone had this happen to them or can anybody help me get my phone working again? Thanks in advance!

Was not repsonding to adb or fastboot queries.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MikeStanley:
I was making do with a very slow O2 Orbit for a while and then I worked out what it was.

After soft reset iit was reasonably fast, sd card speed testers telling me that my sandisk 2G ultimate was excellent. Then a little later it was useless. Loading from SD was very slow.

I noticed that it started getting slower after it had gone into hibernation after no use for a short period. I went into "power", "advanced" and took the tick out of "turn device off if not used for" ...

Now it stay at full speed all the time !!

Has anybody else noticed this?, and does anybody know why?

Could it be a bug?, could it be an answer to corrupt cards.

I recon that the power being supplied to the card is less in these circumstances.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MikeStanley:
From the lack of responses I would guess that I am the only one getting this.

I wonder if this means there is a fault with the card?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jdl1306:
No i don't think it's a fault with your card - i'm getting the same thing, but hadn't linked it to hibernation. Every now and then i check the card just to see if it's corrupt and i need to soft reset (fingers crossed i haven't had to for a few weeks now), and what i'll find is that it'll run like a dog just pulling up the list of things on it the very first time, and then after it's up to speed, i wont have issues again, until much later (as it happens after it's turned itself off and i've turned it back on).

No idea what it is though.

Hello guys, need clarification, what the difference between SM-G900MD and SM-G900FD:confused:? Is it possible to use ROMs from MD for FD and from FD for MD? For my opinion they are similar.... but may be i'm wrong:confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykay0079:
As far as hardware they both are same. The SM-G900FD is for middle east countries and SM-G900MD is for Brazil.

I am using SM-G900MD on my SM-G900FD device without any problem. You have to check what bands are supported for your country.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcbo:
Dear altogether,

please excuse me, that I dig up this thread again, but I think I have more detailed question to this issue:

Despite the fact, that their hardware is the same, their supported bands are different as found in their specifications (https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...m-g900fd-galaxy-s5-duos-lte-a-samsung-pacific). Does that imply, that the range of supported bands is solely defined by the (modem-)software used?

If so, I would be quite happy!

Here is the background to my question:

I aquired a MD (as shown in download mode) which was labeled as FD (in Device Info -> Model in its stock firmware AND on its sticker behind the battery(!)).

Thinking to own a FD, I flashed the DevBase 3.5 by [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] with noroot option (great thanks for this firmware, I already use it with a true FD!): http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-bof1-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3145437.

When I bootet in download mode to flash the bootloader and modem as well, I first noted Knox 0x1 and then the letters SM-G900MD where I was to ecpect SM-G900FD. As I was curious, I flashed them anyway after finding this thread and the device booted successfully.

Now I ask myself, if this action made this device support the bands of the FD instead the ones of the MD. Unfortunately, I can not test it, as I have no LTE enabled SIM nor have I an idea to test the support of a single band.

Maybe there is someone who has an idea...

Best and thanks for your efforts!

Hi everyone. The last time I dealt with custom recoveries and flashing roms I had the original Droid Incredible and it looks like things have changed a lot since then. I've had a VZW Galaxy S4 for about 6 months, and after unsuccessfully installing a new recovery, I've been stuck.

I know for sure I have root privileges. When I went to install the recovery, it went to "Odin Mode" where it shows that it is downloading, but it doesn't seem to really be doing anything. I've been searching the issue and have found multiple threads, but no real way to fix the problem. I tried the "loki method", but I get the error that the "aboot version does not match device".

I would appreciate any help on the issue. It's been something that I look into for a couple hours at a time, then get discouraged and then ignore it for a couple of weeks.

Alright... before the huge amounts of responses and memes responses, let's make something clear:

This is the US version purchased from amazon.com during a trip to the US.

I have a mobilicity (Canada) SIM in my phone

Still no update

The only thing I imagine is blocking my update is my IP address/GPS location or my carrier sim card.

- Does anybody know how to bypass this check? or fool the phone to think i am in the US? I am not really into rooting this phone or losing the warranty on it.

- Anyone with a US version in Canada who received the OTA? what carrier are you using?

Thanks in advance.

[G 2014 General] illuminerdi:
Same boat here: Moto G XT1064 (USA GSM, Unlocked, Carrier-independent) bought from Amazon in early November, still no Lollipop update for me, also checked OT and via Motorola Device Manager. Apparently Moto has pulled the update to fix some bugs, but they've done a TERRIBLE job of messaging this. They have an "official blog" which trumpets the launch of Lollipop but no mention anywhere, on any of their support pages or their blog, that this update has been shelved to fix some bugs. I'm fine with that, but I need to *know* that's what's happening rather than just sitting around pushing update and wondering why my phone still hasn't gotten the update yet.

Moto needs to better message this stuff so that we don't have to hunt through forums to find answers to our questions. I even contacted Motorola support a few days ago and they didn't mention a word of this, so it almost seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Either way, this has been a really disappointing rollout :(
[G 2014 General] jrcastillo:
interesting. I too believe that is OK if they had to pull it... but had i known they had done this I wouldn't have checked every day like a maniac hoping to get the OTA.

what you mean OT and via Motorola Device Manager. I tried using the MDM but it never detected my device. When i plug it in, windows 8.1 detects it as XT1064 and i am able to access the memory card, etc. But MDM did not see the device. I read somewhere that this happens if its not supported.

how did you get MDM to work with your device?

What you mean by OT? did you mean OT"A"?

Hi Guys,

I am an absolute newbie, so please forgive me if I am asking a questions thats simple, or explained somewhere. I have tried searching arround but not got anywhere.

I have searched loads to get a WM6 rom, and at last I have found one. I am ready to go; have my image, and it looks like it will automatically do the update for me.

However, after experimenting awhile a go with ipaqs, I learnt a valuable lesson; backup your existing rom versions.

Does anyone know of a link to a wiki or can anyone explain how I can backup my XDA o2 Mini's factory installed WM5 ROM before I try to flash it with WM6?

That way if things dont go to plan, i can always reinstall the existing system?

Dont think I could even attempt what im trying if it werent for the people on this forum, so respect, and im sorry if im asking something thats explaind elsewhere. Just point me to where I can do further research and im happy to work it out myself.

Cheers guys,
