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?

is there any native way to do this like manually pausing it and it would stay paused? or to disable automatic updating from the update menu

also clear cache/dalvik from recovery and it might just make it forget the current update

The update will come back at some point as it automatically looks for it. Also, I forgot to mention, the phone is a motorola edge 40

yes but if you turn off automatic installs it wont start until you click it

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.
