Is there a way to stop Software Update on stock firmware?

[rawready]

The last time we got an update I had to say remind me later multiple times...eventually I went to sleep just to wake up and find out my phone was updated without my permission.

You can disable it with BK disabler.

Have you tried This? What services would I need to disable?

Using it now.
Just go to the system tab and disable the blue coloured software update with BK disabler. Done.

Can't find a link to the app.
Is there a way to manually do it through settings?

uncheck Developers Options - Autoupdate system.

uncheck Developers Options - Autoupdate system.

I'm not sure if I have that option on the AT&T version

Yeah me neither lol. Just disable options through settings -> software update. It might still eventually push updates after a while though. Long-term you can disable Software update with Titanium Backup if rooted, or else use BK Package Disabler as described earlier.

what if you enable them back but when checking for a software update it just says "up to date", i am running the Nov 1st security patch, have had updates disabled since i use Sub overlays and have a custom ui, just tonight i went and u installed everything bcuz i heard there was a security patch out that was needed n order to get Oreo later this month..i know for a fact my phone isnt up to date.

anyone know what is going on??

my provider is AT&T, any help would b appreciated.

btw..i am NOT rooted or running any custom roms.

Just use bk disabler, disable everything related to software updates, this prevents even the forced updates that sometimes samsung or carriers push, when you re enable all, if there is some update, yo will be able to install it

 

[jbreezyy]

yeah, using the app is no problem..it's when i enable the updates again thru BK my phone is saying its up to date and i know for a fact it is like 4 security patches behind..i have no idea how to fix it.

i enabled all apps including the update ones, uninstalled BK also.

You are just awesome, pretty and simple. Thank you so much.

For those who do not understand you need activate Developers Options (google it)
Then in Developers Option, uncheck Auto Update System.

I have had this checked from the start and still get update notifications?
