[Q] Help stopping OTA updates

[ITAdmin]

Hi all!

I just got my Verizon Note II back from MobileTechVideos and I need to prevent ANY OTA updates from going back on my phone. My Phone is at Version VRALJB right now and I want to root it, prevent the OTA updates and install a custom ROM on it. I don't want to turn this on until I know how to do it.

Can anyone give me some help here PLEASE? I did a search and there's too many for me to figure out which is the correct/best method.

Thanks

In addition to the above, here's my goals

Root
Install a simple, fast, unbloated custom ROM, (suggestions for a ROM that fits this description would be greatly appreciated!)
STOP all OTA updates!
Install all my old apps and get this phone back on line and tell Verizon to F**K off forever!
STOP all OTA updates!
Smile and enjoy my Note II. I really love this phone and I don't want them screwing with it.
STOP ALL OTA UPDATES!!


PS If anyone needs any kind of service, like removing the OTA updates and returning it to a version that can be rooted and custom ROM's, Josh at MOBILE TECH VIDEOS is THE place to get it done! Very fast service and I got it back in two days!!! WOW!!

Any help will be greatly appreciated and I will make a donation to whoever can help me get this done ASAP as I am afraid to put it back on the air and have it try and update!!

Thanks
