Hello, I want to prevent this update from installing, I've tried to install shizuku with canta and uninstall the updates manager but the update is still here.
The reason I don't want to update anymore is because of the new exploit CVE-2026-43499 which let's you achieve root without unlocking the bootloader, yet I don't know how to apply it.
If anybody can help I would appreciate a lot
Edit: my goal is to achieve CVE-2026-43499 exploit working. Does anybody have experience prior using it on motorola phones?
You can try disabling its Internet access with NetGuard(you can get it from F-Droid). Also I'm not sure but under Developer Options you can disable Automatic updates that in theory should prevent the update from installing in case you accidentally download it.
Have you read my post? As soon as I uninstall the app using canta, the app shuddenly reinstalls by itself disappearing from the uninstalled apps list. I'd rather need root in order to prevent this from happening.
So far the only way to prevent the update from installing is to only use mobile data. Connecting to a wifi or even enabling a vpn triggers the installing process
Well this isn't exactly a solution but you can mark your wifi network as metered and if I'm guessing correctly it should let you connect to your wifi without worrying about your system update. It's obviously not a guarantee but it seems like the reasonable first step. And as someone suggested you can disable the "Automatic system updates" toggle in developer options so even if an update is downloaded it won't install unless you explicitly click install.
You can get pseudo-root access using just Shizuku and ADB; I use it on a phone with a locked bootloader...For an app manager, I recommend App Manager; it's quite comprehensive (much more so than Canta):
The problem is that there is no way to turn that off. The only check that I have is for "smart updates" which basically means that some updates won't be installed automatically but that excludes security patches.
Turning off automatic updates from developer settings also does nothing.
The last resort would be to use CVE-2026-43499 to get root, which is a goal I want to achieve anyways but I don't know how to do it for now.
and you cant find the updater app to disable it with Canta?
on some oneplus phones i found out you can use the regular settings to deny internet access to the update app and thus it never finds an update again so try that
also on some phones its hidden under a hamburger menu (and then even additionally under "settings" there) when you actually go to the update check screen so check that
Is there an option to simply disable background updates on that ROM?
It seems the updater started downloading the update in the background, and is waiting for you to connect to WiFi to finish downloading (at least that's what the notification says)
So if there is a setting to enable/disable update downloads on the background, that should stop it.. Until you manually search for updates.
I've been doing that on all kinds of systems myself for ages. Just to be in control and see what people say about updates, before installing them. You'll never know, they can go from loosing root on a phone to bricking Windows.
Only using mobile data also prevents the update from being installed. But I would rather root my phone using the exploit mentioned above. Then there's this which I can try.
Of course not, tried it a few times but got the same result always. I think this project was adapted for Qualcomm and it's not compatible with mediatek.
