Disable OTA Updates Android

Disable OTA Updates Android

December 25, 2010

Ok Verizon has been driving me crazy by pushing OTA updates to my phone. After dealing with "Install later" for 3 weeks, I finally managed to disable OTA updates using a trick I found on a forum.

First, make sure you have adb installed & that it can pick up your device. Next, adb shell into your device & type the following commands:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/etc/security
mv otacerts.zip otacerts.zip.bak
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
sync
reboot
