Either should work. Rename otacerts or change the line in build.prop.

My luck though dictates that the easy way, renaming, wouldn't work, and sure enough it didn't, even after rebooting and ensuring that it was renamed.
I also deleted the image file that had previously downloaded to /cache, so it's not because of that.
Here's what my key line says in build.prop:
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/takju/maguro:4.1.2/JZO54K/485486:user/release-keysThis is what I think it should be after some looking around, though can you confirm please:
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/takju/maguro:4.2.1/JOP40D/533553:user/release-keysAnd is anything beyond that needed, like booting into recovery and deleting cache?
Thanks

In what way?
Did you mean/system/app? When I was reading about fotakill.apk, everyone mentions that dir.
One thing that I didn't see mentioned is what happens once you DO want an update, but I assume just removing fotakill.apk and rebooting would do the trick.
And finally, I see that efrant posted a version here that's a lot smaller. I'm curious if it matters which one to use, since I've seen other sizes for the file in other posts as well (e.g. I saw the 22.5KB one in an E4GT forum).
Thanks everyone

To be honest, I have never used FOTAkill, and I have no idea what the differences are between the two files. I think the one I posted back in April no longer works on newer builds, but it won't hurt to try them both, if you don't want to edit the build.prop
Yes, /system/app. Probably you can remove the .apk when you want an update, but since Google pushes them randomly and not quite often in the first days, you'll get the OTA .zip sooner on XDA anyway.
Regarding the file size, I have no idea, but I guarantee you, that the version I uploaded works on my GN running takju 4.1.2. Here's the original post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34274623&postcount=1
I remember seeing 1 notification when I booted into the system, cleared it and that was it.

I used the FOTA kill app linked by efrant on page 1 with 4.1.2 and it works perfectly.

What is the ro.build.fingerprint for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, for 4.2.2? I want to stay on the stock rooted 4.1.1 rom for the time being, and am being hassled with the system update notification.
Do I just need to change the version number, or do I need to change the line to reflect JDQ39, and the release key number as well?

Use the fotakill app, rest is hit or miss.

9A few people have been asking lately;
Use root explorer and go to system>etc>security and rename the otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Probably reboot phone for good measure.
That should be it.21
double checked. the file stayed .bak after reboot.
root explorer has root access and the folder needed R/W access, which it has for the renaming.1I changed 5 strings in build.prop file:
Code:ro.build.id=IMM76D ro.build.version.incremental=299849 ro.build.version.release=4.0.4 ro.build.description=yakju-user 4.0.4 IMM76D 299849 release-keys ro.build.fingerprint=google/yakju/maguro:4.0.4/IMM76D/299849:user/release-keys
now it seems to work fine for me. will be testing for more...1
