Accept the update, it will fail harmlessly and not ask you again.

The post above is correct. However to answer your question its bugging you to update cause the latest is MC2

Update. It will ask again in a few days. So it's not a very good answer. I believe there is an apk you can remove or freeze but I don't know what it is off hand. Sorry.

I didn't stay on the rom I was running long enough to see if it will ask again. Thx for pointing that out. But if you're running deodexed stock just install deodex stock mc2. Theres also the flashable mc2 modem and kernel. Its all in our android development section.

Installing MC2 is one way, but since MC2 kills both Wallet and your battery, I don't think it's a super great option.

Found an app called System Update, but so far even uninstalling it does not prevent the notification.
blargh...

I've now backed up and un-installed System Update, Smart Device Manager, Sprint DM Service, Sprint Installer, SysScope, Sprint Zone, and still, the notification is there upon reboot.

Logcat Extreme shows some weird stuff at the moment. It's showing something called SystemUpdateService verifying that the update zip is downloaded into /cache, but then it's also showing an error that says SystemUpdateService application does not exist. So what's running then? Maybe a dalvik cached copy. I'm going to reboot into twrp and wipe cache and dalvik and we'll see...

The APK you're looking for is FWUpgrade.apk

-go to /cache
-delete update file
-go to system/app
-Rename FWUpgrade.apk to FWUpgrade.apk.bak
-Accept the update and attempt to run(it will end the count down and do nothing)
-reboot phone and it'll never ask you again to update

So far as we know so far that's correct.

Possible exception that I haven't tested myself or seen anyone else yet either:
The xposed framework hack and any normal market version of Wallet doesn't work so far.
But there is another way to get working Wallet which is to use a patched wallet apk that doesn't need xposed framework. I am currently using that patched wallet apk and no xposed framework. Maybe that version will work on mc2 or maybe not. I haven't seen anyone say about it yet. All I've seen is that the regular market version of wallet plus xposed framework which works on ma7 does not work on mc2.

Battery life dont really seem much different to I me. And I never use wallet much anyhow.

Well... es explorer says there are no files in /cache including not the filename that logcat clearly shows. Yes I have show hidden files in settings and yes I'm rooted.

And... I already have no such apk named FWUpgrade.apk anywhere.

So I'm rather mystified. Because I still get the notification even after wiping both cache and dalvik in twrp and rebooting.

...ok so after all this, with all these apks deleted and the cache empty etc, then I went to the notification and accepted the update one more time, it failed of course. And now finally I think that cleared it.

So it's not enough to accept the update and let it fail.

It's not enough to delete (or freeze or rename etc) one or more apk's.

You have to do both. Disable the apk(s). Wipe cache or delete files in /cache. THEN accept the update and let it fail.

Thanks. I will stay on ma7 since I use Google wallet often. Plus the only real issue I'm having is the home button issue and sometimes the show gallery. Both I can deal with.

Still no more notification.

Yay!

Now just to figure out which of those eleventy-seven apk's I removed was the only one that actually mattered....

Maybe one of them was named FWUpdate.apk as the other Brian mentioned, and I just never saw it's filename because I was seeing the package name in Titanium or System Tuner Pro instead and maybe already uninstalled it before he posted.
