Package Disabler Pro has been updated by the developer to re-enable OTA updates in the version update released today!!!!

(my app has not been updated as i have updates disabled (i have also backed up the APK) so if you need my APK let me know) (i found this out by reading the change log on today's updates) :( its sad the developer has tried to do this to us.

I tried enabling USB debugging and using adb shell and pm (package manager) cmd from adb shell.

adb shell pm disable com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp
and
adb shell pm disable com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub

I unfortunately get a 'permission denial : attempt to change component state from..." which I guess means I have to root the phone. However I don't understand then how the 'package disabler' app does without any root permission ?!

Still no-one with version 6.3 who could share it before tomorrow's update ?

OK just loaded version 6.3 and disables the two firmware update agents. Then checked using adb shell command
adb shell pm list 'packages' -d

and they show disabled OK. Perfect.
Go for version 6.3 guys !

What has been posted several times already. I personally have disabled
com.policydm
com.sec.android.soagent
com.samsung.android.omcagent
com.wssyncmldm

and most importantly

com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub
com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp

I cannot guarantee anything obv but this seems to do the trick for most people

Just tried to load version 6.3 from web and it will not load. Do I need to uninstall 6.4 first?

What other package disablers are still allowing you to block the Sammy updates?

    I'm not a Note7 owner but Looking at these posts, I'am concered that so many people, especially XDA users do not want to return their phones. There's a reason Samsung recalled the phone and is pushing these limitations on you. It's for your own safety and the people around. You can barely bring it anywhere anymore, and if it actually does explode in your face, or injures an old lady on the bus, what are you going to do? Please guys, please return your Note7 phones. It's not worth it anymore.

    I'm not good at tech stuff... I tried to download the 6.3 from the public drive that one guy had put up on this thread...but after downloading it to my phone,
    I couldn't get the apk to work (even after ticking the box for downloading apps from unknown 3rd parties). Then I read that some links might contain viruses.

    You are likely talking about my link. It does NOT contain a virus. It is a direct link to the APK file. And for anybody else reading this, I'm not sure why some people are still asking where to find it. I posted it in 2 of the threads in this forum, this thread included.

    My "thanks" meter is going up because people are using my link and successfully installing it. So don't be afraid that there is a virus.

    Ensure you have removed version 6.4 or any other later version you may have installed. Otherwise 6.3 won't install.
