I just got my S5 last week and I keep getting notifications that the security policy needs updated or was updated; is there a way to disable this? If I don't, could I possible lose a chance to root? I don't want any exploits to be patched OTA
Security Policy Updates?
- Thread starter DroidHam
- Start date
Ah. Well, I accidentally took the updates, don't notice much difference, but I am told that it could be detrimental to Rooting if you do take the VZW OTA update.
dont update the security when it pops up.. you probably wont notice a difference but might effect rooting.. then again i read a few ppl were able to set it back to its original settings by factory resetting it

I'm getting this same thing on my Developer Edition. A notification asking if I would like to automatically allow security updates. I've cleared it each time.
II have a rooted dev S5 and took the security policy update. no changes in root status. My google 2 factor authentication broke around the same time and was a but stubborn to re-establish, but that might be completely unrelated.
I've been getting it everyday since I got the phone. I've never updated, scared to!
Everyone with repeating updates try this...
Settings, Security, scroll down to Security policy updates in menu and click, once inside that option, untick Automatic updates

Mine is unticked, but I get the accept decline message randomly. Did you click accept at some point then uncheck it? I've already frozen SDM
if you have Titanium Backup Pro, just freeze "Security policy updates SPD_v2_1402_4_1"
Will do, also noted that running SuperUser when it disables knox it stopped.
it reports that knox is disabled, but i didnt trust it, so i froze everything that said knox in Titanium. lol.
Yes I did. Its my understanding that sdm is for ota and security updates is a separate issue from that though. There's also a Verizon Protection app that I had to turn off.
Freezing Knox Notification Manage 2.0, and KNOX 1.0 did nothing but disable knox.
Freezing Knox KLMS Agent tripped my Custom tag. stated my system was custom not official.
But knox itself was never tripped.
i uninstalled all knox related stuff. it wasnt tripped in my case
