That is not what I asked
And if there isn't?
There are good ROMs (great ROMs) available. Why don't you just flash one of them and be done with it? Then it won't be an issue.
because I spent the last month customizing the phone the way I like it and do not want to use a custom mod. I guess I will ask elsewhere. This has been about as helpful as people who tell me to get a mac when I ask about a PC problem.
Well I am in tears that we let down. Hope you find a solution and a better attitude towards those that are trying to help
Guys, I don't want to argue, but I'm with the OP. In this link, in how to disable OTA updates, it says nothing about having to flash a custom ROM to disable OTA.

Just that you have to root, and run the commands to rename the files, which will disable OTA updates.
So the real questions are:
1) Did the OP follow these instructions? I assume yes.
2) If yes to number 1, why is this not working for him?
You should be able to disable ota without having a custom ROM.
Thanks,

From the Droidmod forum, as posted in "the other" thread.
"If you installed DroidMod 1.0 via DMUpdater, just accept the VZW OTA 2.1 update. It will boot your Droid and go straight to SPRecovery. Select the Reboot (the 1st option) and you're good to go."
I can confirm it works.
Look, I'm not trying to have a bad attitude. I'm being told that rather than anyone really helping, I should use a different rom instead.
I can't believe that this is the only way. It had to download something, and that something should be able to be removed.
It's not that I'm having a bad attiude, but I really can't see telling me to use a different rom, as being any more helpful than the mac example.
(If you look at my post history, almost every question I asked had to do with AVOIDING using another rom and doing everything I could with the stock firmware as the base)
(Plus, based on other people's topics: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/59438-ota-getting-thru-sholesmod.html the rom change wouldn't work anyway )
Just make sure you don't accidentally let it skip past recovery and patch your phone. The result will be a mess, I'm sure.
This caused a boot loop for me on DM 1.0 when I reboot the phone. It would get to the DroidMod boot screen with the little progress bar, then about 5 seconds later, it would reboot.
Specifically what I did was create a /system/etc/security-old dir, and I moved (mv) the 2 certs files from security to security-old via ADB, then rebooted.
