to stop Verizon from forcing update

Use Titanium to freeze com.smithmico

i lost root because vz forced the update so i reinstalled .5 oem then used revoluton to unlock boot in stall SU installed .9 radio seems to work well rebboted it pop saying .9 would start download in 26 secs i stoped it from installing
i remembered reading about smithmicro and OTA so i froze it so far n more pushed OTA ...

your mielage may vary
 
Bumping this thread. If you are on the. 9 radios and running a sense rom I highly recommend doing this.

How do I find out what radio I am using?

EDIT: Also, is there any way to "freeze" an app without titanium pro?
 
FYI, I'm using BAMF SoaB 1.4 and Ti had this froze already. I know I've never done it. I haven't had an issue w/ any attempts at updating since the OTA came out.

I'm rooted, but I still have the stock ROM. Is there any way for me to freeze this without Ti Pro?

Not to my knowledge but I'm far from a Pro. I would flash to a new ROM ASAP for no other reason then they are all better then being stock . The BAMF ones seem to be pretty close to stock as far as appearance and the such if thats what you like. Just do it man :)

I've been dying to put an AOSP ROM (probably CM7) on my phone ever since ive rooted, but i haven't had time. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it sometime next week. I just hope my phone doesn't force an update in that time.... I might just have to buy Ti Pro, just to be safe.

Unless you consider stopping you from updating is a problem, then no LOL ;)

Okay... I think I might have just broke something... it rebooted after I used Ti to delete com.smithmicro.DM, and now it is at a screen that has a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in it, and a blue android. What do I do?
 
Are you certain you deleated the correct file?? I personally deleated that file no problems as others have done. Is bet you deleated something else.

Pull your battery. Hold volume down and power to access recovery. If you have a ROM on your SD flash it or a backup if you have one. If not download one to your pc and place it on your SD card. Boot back into recovery and flash.

This is what I tried deleting: http://www.imgur.com/dkTCT.jpg

I pulled the battery, and it started normally. Was I deleting the right file? Maybe I did it the wrong way (since it is still there). Thanks again for helping
 
Check titanium to see if that file is still there.

Edit: if the file is still there, you deleated the wrong one prior.

Wait, what? So I did or didn't try removing the right file?

Simply put, it the file is still listed in titanium, you deleated something else earlier. Probably clicked something by accident.

The file in your img is the one to get rid of.

Thanks! Is there any way I could figure out what I deleted?

Probably not unfortunately.

I'm currently on a different sense ROM. Out of curiosity i just deleted that file on this ROM also.

It takes titanium a little time to load every file. If you tried clicking that file while it was still loading, it would be pretty easy mess up.
