disable auto update on android, this is for samsung phone

This guide is for Windows.

  • Connect phone via USB to PC, wait a while for drivers to install.
  • Install "Minimal ADB Fastboot" (from XDA-Developers).
  • Enable USB DEBUG under "Config / Developer Options" on phone.
  • Open a Command Prompt under the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot"
  • Open phone adb shell: adb shell
  • Use the following commands:
# to find packages:

pm list packages | grep soagent
pm list packages | grep wssyncmldm

# to disable packages (USE THESE):
pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
pm disable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

# to reenable later (IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND):
pm enable --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
pm enable --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

Commands above worked flawlessly, the apps are disabled now.
I'll see if it helps to avoid Software Update from popping-up...
Will comment if it doesn't
Thank you!
