How to disable System Update notifications

[Tomyk89]

Hey guys,

Big thanks to @autoprime for mentioning this info on this in the general G4 forum. Figured I'd sum up the steps and repost in our sub-forum for anybody who may be struggling.

If you're like me, you're waiting on root and don't want to accidentally take that new OTA update that was pushed out about a week ago. This OTA has been found to prevent rolling back to previous versions of android, and may also block some/many of the root methods that the developers are preparing to release to us.

If System Update is constantly bugging you to update, follow the directions below:

1) Enable USB Debugging
-Go to About phone and tap on Build number 10 times to enable Dev Options
-Enter Developer Options and enable USB Debugging
2) Download and Install the Debloater tool (this happens on your computer)
-Windows http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Gates/DeBloater/Debloater-setup-v3.85.exe
-OSX http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Gates/DeBloater/Debloater.v.3.85.dmg
3) Connect your phone via USB. Make sure to install any drivers needed
4) Watch for pop up requesting ADB Access on your phone
5) Launch the Debloater tool
6) Select OK on the popup

7) Click the top left button

8) Find LGDMSClient.apk and put a checkmark next to it. Then select Apply at the top

Congratulations! You no longer have to worry about pocket-updating your G4 and not being able to root down the road!

**A couple people are still getting updates after performing this. Please check here for more things you can try.

I'm optimistic that the devs will be able to release a root method that will still work for those who took the update. I would still run the above process so that it doesn't receive any more updates.

to add to this, once i did this (I blocked 6 apps in total, instructions from a different post) and once i reset my phone, i still got the notification to update (I dont think it would work if i ran it, but i didnt try), so i long pressed the notification, hit the the little circle with the letter i in it, then disabled notifications from google play services. havent seen it since and im still on ZV4. also before i installed debloater i installed the LG united drivers, not sure i needed to but figured id mention it.
