DONT UPDATE Package Disabler Pro if you want to AVOID the OTA

[ooMoo]

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.

By request of Samsung?

 

[MechanteMiette]

Can you send me the apk please ? :-/

The dev will have their reasons. Be it in case somebody got hurt at a later date or being bought or blackmailed by Samsung etc. Goes to show though, we definitely aren't being considered owners of our own phones and they're not going to let us accept the liability ourselves by keeping them.

Anybody has the version 6.3 ? I just purchased the app before seeing all the warnings and there's no way to disable the firmware updates with versino 6.4

Hey man, would it be possible to get the previous app from you mine auto updated :crying:

I would also like the origanal APK, can someone provide it to me?

Isn't there a simple adb command to disable packages manually?

 

[Manumanu787]

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 ?

 

[borijess]

Crap I updated. Can i get the previous app please.

 

[nabbed]

Please send this app my way as well. Thanks!

Updating my phone on purpose to N930FXXU2BPJ8 to see what this is.

 

[borijess]

[NIKKOTUASON]

I updated the app but still have the att update off.

Its com.samsung.android.firmware, com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub that you want to see. Yours is gone get the 6.3 Disabler Pro.

Cheers

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 !

 

[borijess]

Can you post a pic of what needs to be disabled?

 

[Manumanu787]

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

There are multiple package disablers out there. I have one from policedev, no updates today... =\

 

[HarlyFan]

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?
