Had an issue recently where my Moto G was given an OTA update to 4.4.4 that ended up bricking the device. It had been on 4.4.2.
I was able to restore through fastboot to 4.3 and now life is back to normal, except it will probably never update again because some internal files may have been damaged beyond repair.
That's OK, as it was a Verizon model and I was only using it on Wifi. It still serves its purpose, though I can no longer use the GEL launcher.
Fast forward, I recently got a couple Moto X Developer editions during a recent sale, as replacements to some aging GNexs.
I plan to root, unlock the bootloader, install Xposed and other mods. I want to make sure history doesn't repeat itself when updates may be pushed in the future.
What file or files can I freeze, delete, or rename via Root Explorer or Titanium backup that will prevent OTA updates from being pushed, yet still allow the phone to run normally?
I've searched online, but it seems like these specific files and names may vary from device to device.
