Root Want to Stop OTA ICS Download/Update

[thisisnascar]

I thought I had some posts on this topic already, but I can not find them. My Razr Maxx is running GB 2.3.6 and I DO NOT want to upgrade to ICS. Yesterday, the OTA download occurred and I delayed the installation. It's my understand that I'll be reminded, on various schedules, to apply the update, until such time the phone gets updated. I do not want to do that.

What I want to do is remove the download that occurred from my phone and do what I need to do in order to stop the reminder message, as well as stop future OTA downloads like this. I think I have the solution to remove the already downloaded update file, but feel free to suggest your method. I am rooted and have TBP (paid version) installed. Thanks in advance.

Anyone, please?

Wow. Thanks a bunch everyone.

Calm down there. We don't all live on the forum 24/7 and may not know the answer to your question. Most of us have work and families that take priority.


To clear out the already DL'ed update, go to your stock recovery and clear the cache.

I've got a few theories on what may work to stop it from trying to update but I don't know if they'll work. Let me know if you want to try them.

I already got my answer(s), but thanks for your reply and suggestion.

OK

Do you mind posting the answer for those who may ask in the future?

 

[thisisnascar]

The answer was given in another forum. Not sure if I'm alllowed to link the solution thread.

Linking is fine. Or share the information. Or both

Like you (OP), I also failed to stop the download of ICS, and was being reminded every 24 hours to install it. Based on Kelmar's suggestion, I cleared the cache partition, and have not had a reminder in about 7 or 8 days.

I may (will probably) ultimately update to ICS, but my current thought is to wait till the first official update to it... .215?

EDIT: Additonally, I am not rooted.

I'm rooted and the update fails, even after factory reset it fails. Even after unrooting with Voodoo it fails. I haven't been reminded in a while.

How do you clear the cache?

If you're on GB 2.3.6, this is the link. It should give you all you need to know about rooting, clearing the cache and stopping the OTA updates from occurring.
