How to disable Verizon's OTA updates

[MKEbrew]

So, for this new 4.08.605.19 OTA, I extracted the zip and found AAInfo.txt file showing "Customization Id: 351442". Is that what I would change my build.prop to in order to get rid of the update notification? Currently I have 4.08.605.2 389630.15. do I change 389630.15 to 351442? I'm not sure where to find the number, so this is a guess.

No you want to look in /system/build.prop of the update file for ro.build.fingerprint=. What ever it says change your phones build.prop to that.

I still have not recieved an update notification yet. Is there any way you could upload the update zip file somewhere and post a link?

That was what I was hoping, but its a build.prop.p. How do I view a build.prop.p file? I've tried notepad already.

Not sure really, googling says there isnt a way.

Sorry cmlusco, I missed this yesterday. Here is the zip: http://markpiontek.com/misc/fd0d8be3759e.OTA_Incredible_C_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_4.08.605.19-4.08.605.15_release_305224.zip

Root Browser (I'd post a link, but I'm too new) has a text editor that will allow you to view and edit the file. Just need to find out what needs to be edited in the ro.build.fingerprint line.

Yep. I've done this before, juts don't know what to change it to. Hoping that posting the zip will help out with that.

I changed ro.build.fingerprint to verizon_wwe/inc/inc:2.3.4/GRJ22/539174.19:user/release-keys

rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, cleared the update notification once more and haven't received an update notification since.

Thanks for posting the .zip MKEbrew!

That is the correct build number, i just installed 4.08.605.19.

Edit /system/build.prop. Look for "ro.build.fingerprint=", change the whole line to read this:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc:2.3.4/GRJ22/539174.19:user/release-keys

Save the file, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, reboot.

That seems to have done it. Much appreciated!

I just wiped both cache manually & then rebooted.
