Disable OTA Updates

Hey everybody,
Is there a way to disable OTA Updates?
I want to give my S-Off Device to a not very experienced user.. I also want to prevent him from accidently installing an OTA update,
because that would'nt work because of the s-off
Thank you!

Install a custom rom that doesn't have OTA.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

Thanks but that I could have done on my own.. The thing is I want to disable OTA on my current custom rom.
Any ideas?

The /system/build.prop file contains the URLs for connecting to the HTC OTA service and servers. If you delete those entries then a user will not be able to actually get a OTA.

Can you tell me what lines exactly? Because there are a lot of them?
Are you sure that this is the best and safest way to disable them?

OTA Update for Sprint HTC M8

Quick question. My device is rooted, has twrp, and s off. HTC or Sprint sent OTA 3.31.651.2 to my phone today. Is it safe to download? If so, will I lose root? If not, can you supply link on how I should update? Thank you.

For OTA updates you need to have a %100 stock rom (that includes stock recovery too) . You could download the update but all it will do restart the phone to TWRP and do nothing over there. +wrong thread
Edit: I think there is a way to get the update but you have to search for it.

Thank you. ?

Keeping root after OTA update?

Is there any way to keep my Magisk rooted device rooted after an OTA update? Or do I have to patch the new boot.img and flash it in fastboot after every OTA update?

anyone?

I don't remember the exact procedure but it is possible. You should be able to find it in the Magisk thread though. Personally I always found it easier to just patch the new boot.img. Reading through the forums it seems that opinions are mixed at about 50/50 on preference so to each there own.

How do you get official Samsung OTA updates when you're rooted, i didn't think that was even possible.

It's only possible if your phone has an A and B system partition. You are in the Pixel 4 XL forum so I assumed that is what you had. Samsung doesn't support this.
