Why don't they just follow the instructions in my link?

Original Source ->> https://troypointinsider.com/t/block-amazon-system-updates/43814/45

The goal is to enter the VoiceView mode.

See point 4-7

1. Turn on your mobile hotspot on your phone.

2. Get to the part where you connect to a network and connect to your hotspot.

3. As soon as it says “getting updates” disconnect your hotspot.

4. On the next page that says network error, hold down the back and menu buttons at the same time for a couple seconds to enter VoiceView mode.

5. Push the back button to exit VoiceView mode (with your hotspot still disconnected).

6. You should now be at the registration page. Go ahead and enter your Amazon credentials and turn your hotspot back on to connect.

7. As soon as your account registers and you get to the home page, proceed to use your preferred method of blocking system updates.

ok thanks....i will give that a try
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fire_cuber:
Note to 6.2.8.1/4812 on which I am also.

com.amazon.device.software.ota (can no longer be disabled via ADB)

com.amazon.tv.forceotaupdater.v2 (can still be disabled via ADB)

com.amazon.device.software.ota.override (can no longer be disabled by ADB)

So the updates have to be blocked via DNS or in the router or via Blockada APP.

But the Wolf Launcher still works via home button.

This no longer works from the Fire OS 6.2.8.7 NS6287/3768.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxlad:
Let us know if it works.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRAM333:
worked great....thanks for the help
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxlad:
@GRAM333

What version and build did your device have after the factory reset?

Were you able to successfully disable updates using both commands?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRAM333:
used a new firestick lite. version 7.2.4.2....then i installed update blocker and wolf launcher
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxlad:
@GRAM333

What version was it before you did the factory reset?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EngineerMind:
I think he did NOT do a factory reset - he simply "setup" a brand new stick and used that special process to prevent it from downloading the latest version during the setup process.

And his stick probably had version 7.2.4.2 on it out-of-the-box, and since he was able to skip the update process during setup - so it stayed a 7.2.4.2, he was then able to disable those two OTA files, so now it won't ever do an update.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRAM333:
yes ....i think amazon is still sending out sticks without the latest software so if you get a new stick it is still possible to do....
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRAM333:
hi,,,,,did all this and all fine and registered but as soon as i connect to internet again brand new firestick lite begins download update ...then when update is download it automatically restarts so i have no time to block updates or remove the update.....what can i do...is there any way to prevent the restart ....this is the first time i have seen the automatic restart,,,is this a new update......thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxster03:
Disconnecting internet method (fire_cuber linked above, Thank You!) worked to not auto update at initial set up on a new fire TV stick 4k and able to register just now.

I disconnected it soon after fire tv home screen and checking what Fire OS it has. Looks like Amazon is currently shipping the 4K with Fire OS 6.2.9.2 (NS6292/4226). Is this a bad one? Can I not put Wolf that others have mentioned as a better interface/launcher?

I have not connected it back on until I know how to disable the auto update completely? Can someone direct me to how to disable it? I read a few adb methods but don't know if they still work. Anyone has done it recently? Will it start downloading updates immediately when I connect it back on? Thanks guys.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EngineerMind:
I think that these versions are when it started that you could no longer easily install a third party launcher:

Fire OS 6.2.8.1+

Fire OS 7.2.5.6+

And at some version prior to the above versions is when they started to prevent the ability to disable OTA.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scramble:
A bit late but.......

I disabled OTA by blocking the servers that provide the updates on my router's /etc/hosts file and then verified they were blocked by pinging them on my PC. You should be able to block the sites in your router GUI.

Block the following.

amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net

softwareupdates.amazon.com

updates.amazon.com

root@DRK-1# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net
127.0.0.1 softwareupdates.amazon.com
127.0.0.1 updates.amazon.com

I got the server info from here fwiw.

a screen will appear, which will say "Unable to check for updates, retry or reboot the stick"

Press and hold the BACK and MENU buttons simultaneously on the remote for a few seconds, until the VoiceView accessibility feature turns on. Then, once the VoiceView feature is on the screen, press the BACK button on the remote to exit VoiceView.

Now it will ask for an account, log-in.

Note: If you connect to another network later then you won't be protected. Sideloading and configuring an app like DNS66 or AdAway after initial setup will enable you to continue blocking the sites on your device. Good luck!

Hi Community,

I have not been able to use attachments for about 2 months.

Files can no longer be attached to mails or browser uploads or (some) apps who get access to the storage.

Files can be sent in Messenger.

Have any of you also had this problem?

What could be the reason for this?

If there is a storage access right problem, why some apps can, but other apps can not?

Version: MIUI 12.5.7

MIUI Optimization: enabled

- Apps uninstalled

- deleted Cache

- deleted Data

Greetings

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] nixnixnixnt:
I... I don't know what that means.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] icodix:
what rom are you using right now? miui 13 is kinda buggy.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] nixnixnixnt:
I'm going to assume there was an misunderstanding. We are in a thread on the Pixel Plus UI. I am using Pixel Plus UI, and I was talking about Pixel Plus UI. I was complaining about the lack of the "Pixelizer" section in the settings to which u replied that they are, in fact, there, but you can't really remember where they are or how they're called.

Not helpful, but fair enough...

I said I don't think the ROM has "Pixelizer" settings to which you curiously replied "hmmmmm".

Now you're asking me on which ROM I am.

Hope you're doing good. Cheers
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] icodix:
Me too. I thought you switched to another rom that's why im asking, sorry, my bad.

[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] pelon_16170:
Hi, guys!

Do you know if there's a way I can attach a USB Dongle into the port that's in the HDMI end of the Ready-For cable?

I mean, I have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but they will only connect to the dongle that came with them, I have a regular USB to USB-Type C converter, which works on the phone if connected directly to its port, but if I connect it to the HDMI, it doesn't, if there a way to make it work?

I hope I managed to explain myself.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] rodrimax10:
The HDMI's USB is only for charging. And if your keyboard and mouse connect to a dongle they are wireless but not bluetooth, if they were then you would be able to directly connect them to the phone. The solution is to either to buy a USB C hub with HDMI and USB or buy bluetooth periferals.
[Motorola Edge 20 Pro] pelon_16170:
That really makes a lot of sense. I hadn't thought about it that way.

Thank you very much.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] VinillaIce82:
I am interested in getting a Mi 11 Ultra, just wanted to know if this would still be a good choice now in Feb 2022. Seems like I can only get my hands on a CN version with Global Rom loaded. I will be using it in Canada. The 5G bands don't really matter to me, as long as the LTE is working I'm ok. However, I have concerns that not all features may work, such as google pay, which i use very frequently. Can anyone confirm whether or not the CN version vs the global version is the same, and whether these features will work for me in Canada?

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] moswen:
I'm in the US using the Mi11 ultra with the Xiaomi EU ROM on the ATT network that I flashed over the Global ROM. I use Google Pay and all the apps I have used on non import phones. The Global ROM was less usable for me, for instance I couldn't sync my galaxy watch with the phone. I believe I got Google Pay working with the Global ROM but I had far more failed transactions. In short I have found this phone to deliver what I want with the eu.rom.

Working great with Bell as well as Fido. Have used Google pay in past , was working fine (only used bcoz applied for replacement card, not a gpay fan😀). Using EU ROM. I got it from pdaplaza when it released so i got CN version.

Even today in my opinion its good for buying as i like its rearview screen. Using from more than 1 year and Satisfied with its performance.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
So some reviewers are saying the S22 line gets hot when doing extensive tasks or gaming. I know this was a huge concern on the S21 line because the Snapdragon 888 ran very hot but Samsung seemed to do well cooling it down. The Moto X30 with the same chipset is said to be getting very hot. There is already talk of Qualcomm quickly replacing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with a Plus model produced by TSMC for better efficiency. I'm hoping Samsung beefed up cooling measures and this is a non issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Wait a few months for the dust to settle.

I'm seeing warning signs already with this model.

Time will tell.

Either way though it lacks expandable storage and that automatically red flags it for me.

I’ve had the phone for 3 days and everything seems great so far. Given that Samsung produced the chips, they likely implemented a strong cooling method as well.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Cisuwek:
Try: adb reboot recovery. I think it's problem with Orange recovery. I had such a case, flashing twrp solved the problem. Perhaps Orange is not compatible with Android 12 or there is another problem. I failed to run this recovery, twrp works fine

I will try and let you know. Thanks in advance
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Ofox is working on A12 but without decryption possibility as all custom recovery's.

Ofox newest atrached

The recovery.zip unpack and flash recovery.img via adb

The other zip is full version, you can flash it directly if orange fox started via orange fox.

I recommend to start recovery every time you've flashed via hardware keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] lamissdelph25:
Good evening,

I have a problem with the wearable app. I have a Samsung watch R800 and by following the tutorial, I managed to connect it to my phone. Everything was fine until yesterday when the app asked me to do the update but I don’t want to do it because I already did and I had to reset the watch because I couldn’t connect it to the phone. The problem is that as a result, I no longer have access to Wearable, which socks because I need it.

How to prevent Wearable from detecting the update and being able to access it?

Thank you in advance for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] blackhawk:
Make sure Wearables has -all- its permissions enabled. Clear data and then set permissions.

Clear system cache.

Google play Services must be enabled.

Turn off all global power management for now!

Wearables can be a real pain... if the Wearables app won't load or crashes it's likely missing a needed parameter mentioned above. You can also try installing it. Sometimes with connectivity issues a network reset does the trick.
