I got the APK thank you, to stop the update is there anything else that needs to be disabled like firmware or just the software update?

If your rooted you shouldnt need since rooted devices cant get OTAs.

Ive never seen a rooted device be able to get an OTA over many years and alot of devices

I suppose samsung could find a way around it.


Most custom roms (if your on one) dont even have the update apk.s in them anymore so in that case even less likely to get a OTA.

Wonder which US Operators can network block IMEIs? I don't think they all can.
Oh, and yea that SK Note 8 offer should be extended globally, especially for those that stuck with Samsung.
Just sayin.

PS If not, will just hold on to the 7 until S8 then Note 8 hits, then get it for free!!! ;^p

I have stock rom and 6.3 disabler work perfect. But I am afraid when I root device update goes to my mobile?

Sorry I have no experience with rooting so I asked while is possible to receive OTA at rooted device (I want to leave stock rom after rooting)

If you can root your device you can't obtain OTA. You're safe.

Downloaded Package Disabler Pro and was able to only disable a partial list of the files you listed, specifically #1, 2, 4, and 6. The rest reflected "missing" when I searched for them. Is there anything further or additionally that I can download to delete the rest of the list?

Thank you for your kind assistance!
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

Same issue (ex. not all package listed are present-also searched with other apps).
Does it mean they simply haven't been pushed to the phone yet?

I uninstalled and reinstalled 6.3. I don't have the last two on your list. Any ideas?

for some reason this did not work for me.. phone is stuck on the Verizon load screen.. I was selecting packages then the phone just automatically restarted.. and now stuck... guess I will go back to my note 3 and wait for the note 8.

Sensor hub is an Exynos feature. Just find another US users list of disabled updates. Hint: look at what Samsung blocked out of the 6.4 package disabler on the Google play store here in"what's new": https://play.Google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.packagedisabler&hl=en
My Exynos version doesn't have all those mentioned in that list either, I suspect that is a Snapdragon list..

Works I think

I'm on Verizon. Got the update notification today. Came to this site and found out about Package Disabler Pro. I disabled 1 or 2 things listed here. Couldn't find the others. I searched "update" and disabled com.policydm, com.sec.android.soagent, com.samsung.sdm, com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer. After that, the update notification disappeared and when I went into settings, system updates, it says "unfortunately, settings has stopped".

:D
