I haven't even downloaded the first update. It still tells me that this update is supposed to mark "safe" phones with a green battery.

I wonder if the kill switch update requires this one.

Okay I followed the directions and successfully removed there 60% and have been charging to 100% all week, yah and THANK YOU! I also successfully installed there Shield, but about an hour ago I received a notification letting new know I have a "software (And "System") update - update there firmware you the latest version..." I was surprises and halfway panicked and hit the "Install Later" button.

I was getting "update" notifications, no pop-ups just on my notifications screen, so about 10 mins before there "install request" I was checking there Shield making sure everything was updated and enabled, by switching things "off and back on," not sure if that did something or not. Also, I did replace my SIM card after I removed the 60, should I have not done that?

Is there a way to look at the update before inhaling it to see if it's the "Kill" update or a Shield update?

Please provide a screenshot of your shield. And what's the exact text of the notification?

Then follow the instructions here asap:

Don't put simcard in and have wifi disabled. After completion of reset, install and activate the shield again. Enable wifi only for the short process of activation of the shield.

Thanks for this, so just to be clear after I follow the instruction and remove the update, I should never put the SIM card in and keep the WiFi off at all times? And what about Airplane mode?

Not all the times, only until if you're sure your shield is working. And in airplane mode mobile data if off while wifi can be activated. All data services must be oofline. .
So to be sure post a screenshot of your active shile that we can see if it's ok

I wasn't trying to "hijack" anything. I thought the topic was about downloading the kill update and not installing it. Was just posting my results. Sorry.

Followed the instructions twice, and it seems that it did not work. Had to turn on my WiFi to get the Sheild and still have the notification by my system "wheel" and "system update" notification
