What's wrong with using package disabler?

[pego99]

I have installed package disabler with 3 disabled files.

What's wrong with that to prevent updates?

I found out the hard way... for me it snuck through anyway (roughly an hour plus ago).
Hopefully all is well with your 7, but I would consider installing the shield to be on the safe side of things.
Best of luck!

Hello Efaew: I also have installed one of the previous (I think the last one) disabler, and so far it seems that the App UPDATE & Security UPDATE switches are off - which seems to have been the finishing Tests that the Video shows she performed - to prove that you're protected???

Did you check those switches before the Update snuck in on your phone? Any & All steps would be appreciated..

I am using Ultimate Tools for Samsung Version 1.0.1 and disabled 6 packages as I have listed in my post in another thread. Seems to do the trick for me as well.
-UrgentFWupdateTSP
-SecurityLogAgent
-com.tmobile.pr.adapt
-Software Update
-Software Update
-Security Policy Update

Make sure to disable 2 Software Update Packages not just 1.


I have returned 15/16 Note 7 to Samsung to get $940 each per one. I am keeping on however because it's a awesome device.

Hi there!
What ended up happening for me to ensure the update was post switching out of airplane mode (which auto kills my wifi unless I manually turn it back on) to login to give the shield app permission (originally) & uninstalling PDP the download had begun. To answer your question, yes both were off, but unfortunately for me there was a conflict of admin rights with KNOX due to my having PDP already installed. All is well now though & I hope that made a bit of sense. It was super sneaky bc I even had my sim removed, smh...

Nothing wrong if you decide to keep it but that app is on the play store meaning Samsung can come in again and tell the app developer to limit the update block. Our app is secure and not on the play store

Ahhh interesting... Are we Able to run bk disabler and the Alliance app at the same time?

You can but we don't recommend just in case they don't play nice together

This app is gorgeously wonderful & I wish I had discovered all you lovely folks sooner.
Thanks kindly for helping (& hopefully keeping) our giblets out of the fire, lol.
