OTA Update downloaded to my phone, hit remind me later a few times

Towelrooted my phone to manually update to Lollipop so I can keep root

Phone just shut off and is trying to install OTA on its own

Now I'm pissed, every time I turn phone on, it will start the update.

Is there any way to stop this and get back to my Kitkat so that I can manually install Lolli?

You said you are rooted, if that's the case then you have nothing to worry about, The update will fail to install. Just let it try to install, when it fails you should be able to boot your phone normally, then you can manually update to 5.0.1.

I hadn't broken the screen of my i537 yet. Once it broke I jumped ship to the i9295 and couldn't be more happy. If they ever release an international/unlocked version of the S6 Active I'll buy immediately. It's not that I care that it's more durable, I just really like having physical buttons.
