Blocking silent/background updates not working

[vaguerant]

As was discussed in IRC, silent/background updates and nags that an update is ready to be installed still seem to be occurring on Luma3DS. I don't know anyone with an original 3DS and Luma to test, but I know of three users (including myself) on New 3DSs who observed the unfettered updating behavior. Updating from the nag is perfectly safe, obviously, but I'd prefer the intended behavior.

I wouldn't be able to say when the issue started for me ... I've been using Luma3DS (under various names) since quite early in development and I never recall the update blocking actually working—I just block the server manually on my router, but this means unblocking any time I want to use the eShop, and any time I forget/connect to somebody else's wifi I wind up with the update nag again.

I've always wondered what silent/backgrounds updates were supposed to be blocked. I know that if there's a new system update and you put the console on sleep mode, it will download the latest firmware through SpotPass. This is an intended, normal behavior, which I hope it never changes, or if it does at least make it optional, since I have a hard time updating from System Settings due to my Internet connecion. Getting A9LH was a nightmare on this step.

Now, the update nags were indeed supposed to stop showing up again once you reject them the first time.

No, they weren't. Default is for them to pop up every time the system is fully rebooted or every 24h, whichever comes first.

or when it exits sleep mode

The only thing Luma3DS blocks as far as I am aware is the system updating things automatically. Not the notifications. If you want that I think ctr-httpwn does that but also blocks manual updates if I remember right.

My understanding is that that is not a 3DS functionality that exists to be blocked. A stock 3DS will never update independently of user input.

The browser does as far as I know. I may be completely wrong - I'm fairly new to the community.

the browser gets disabled, not updated.

I'm on Old 3DS running the latest stable Luma, and I got nagged as well. First when it downloaded the update (got the blue LED as well), and after 24 hours. None in-between despite using it regularly with several reboots and even using sleep mode, so it seems to be kind of working, but not fully.

The patch was listed as maybe working in FreeMultiPatcher, because the pastebin doesn't say wich firmware version it is based on, so it could also be possible that I used the wrong base for the searching: http://pastebin.com/Gmm48dsa

Well they didn't really work and patching NIM is always a problem.
