Root How to Disable Network Update after Rooting?

[jonnyweb]

hey guys. New to the droid family, long time iphone user from way back.
I rooted my Atrix over the weekend and since then have been getting the pop up prompting me to update to 4.1.57. I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable this from constantly popping up? I looked under Settings/About Phone/System Updates and then the pop up happens immediately. I have searched the web for an answer to this and can't seem to find an answer.
If this has already been addressed on this site, I apologize for a dupe posting.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

edit note:
i meant to pose this as a question, if an admin could put a question mark after Rooting on my title, that would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the Atrix forum.

There is a way, you need to "freeze" the update process. My favoriate method is Titanium backup, does a great job, it is free and you can use it to unfreeze that process when you want to update.
Look for the process called com.motorola.blur.updater and freeze that. Now no more update pop-ups

However
Now there is a way to root the atrix after the update (look for my sticky at the top of this area (Atrix root section), so why not go ahead and run the update then reroot when updated?

I am going to try the newest ROOT update as soon as my new sd card arrives this week.
I'll play around with Titanium backup and see if i can freeze it. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated!

Thanks J.

So basically we would run the Gingerbreak tool, root the phone, allow the update and then run the Gingerbreak tool again to re-root if you will?

Use aRoot if you are on the pre-4.1.57 version, if you do not want to update, as it works great. If you want to update to 4.1.57, then use Gingerbreak after the update. If you are planning on updating, no need to root before you update; just use Gingerbreak once you update

I posted in the sticky, but wanted to post in this also in case anyone else wants to try it. I ran the update from my phone which put me on 4.1.57, then I verified that my Root access was gone as I could no longer use Titanium. Ran Gingerbreak, it rebooted my phone and now I can run Titanium once again. Note: I know lots of people are saying that if you go this route it can erase your internal and external memory card but it didn't erase anything on my phone (very cool)

Thanks again for your help J!

Looking back, I was unable to find the com.motorola.blur.updater as well. I found another post that said to freeze updater 2.2.1 (mine says Updater 2.2.2, but I am running 4.1.83). Try that, it has worked for others
