    Default Block OTA updates?

    Ok, so I've been having issues with the Nexus S 4g and ICS (both rooted and unrooted). For the last 2 weeks mms messages have not worked. I reverted back to Gingerbread 2.3.7, rooted with stock rom, and my mms works fine. But now I get constant requests for system upgrade to ICS. Is there any way to block these requests? I'd just as well stay on Gingerbread at this point so I can send/receive pics but it's asking me to upgrade every 10 minutes.

    None that I know of. You would have to install a custom ROM for the system to stop sending the OTA notifications and even then sometimes they still make their way to you.

    Hmm, ok thanks. I read somewhere that if you rename a file (otacerts.zip?) to .bak it would do it. But I'm not sure how to access that file to rename it.


    *edit: I was able to rename file with Super Manager. We'll see what happens...

    Update: since I edited the otacerts.zip file the update notifications have stopped. It's been 2 days, so it appears that this method works.
