Root Rezound now randomly boots into recovery

[SilentKoala]

I just got a recent OTA update and now my phone is randomly rebooting into the recovery menu every few hours for no apparent reason. My phone was rooted following Scotty's noob friendly root guide to the letter.

Please help, this is driving me nuts. How do I get it to stop doing this.

Thank you.

Go to recovery,wipe cache. Then use titanium backup(or similar) to freeze a file called "updater". Hopefully that will fix you up

Best bet to get the benefits of the ota,is to flash a stock Rom based on the update.

Thanks, Scotty. Do you happen to know where the updater file is located from the root directory?

Thanks, Scotty. I froze the only two files with "updater" in their name (one was called Market Updater, and one was called "Updater..." with a bunch of numbers after it) and am still having the problem. It downloads the firmware and I can usually catch it and put it in airplane mode to stop the download, but if I don't stop the download, it will reboot into recovery and display some error.

I wonder if there's anything else I might try?

Thanks.

you might use root explorer to look in /syetem/etc/security for a file called "otacerts",and then rename it delete it. this will not stop the OTA from downloading,but should cause the attempt to install it to fail.

you also may be able to modify the build fingerprint in /system/build.prop,ive no idea if that still works or not.

best thing would be to flash a new rom in recovery that is based on the newer software. this will stop it for sure

to stay on the build your on,im not sure- google might turn up some other clever methods of preventing the OTA check
