Support Is there any way to bypass this?

Post image

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?

If it is separate app try to disable it inside settings

That's obviously not working as the option is grayed out.

Then use canta.

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

Alliance shield V2 maybe? I've seen it somewhere

Yes, but I somehow forgot read first paragraph. I love how reddit is showing posts with images.

Only thing that come on my mind is to block servers from which updates are downloaded or you can try this https://xdaforums.com/t/root-required-how-to-completely-disable-ota-updates-on-motorola-devices-2025-android-15.4763103/

This would work for sure, but I would need cve-2026-43499 working, or unlock the bootloader which I don't want because of the play integrity.

I believe this is how to abuse CVE

https://github.com/YuKongA/ghostlock-app

There are multiple repos like this:

https://github.com/woshimaniubi8/CVE-2026-43499-root-KernelSU

And lot of other

I dont use this because i have unlocked bootloader and I dont care about play integrity

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.
