From my experience, even if the auto update option is turned off the system will update at some point as I always keep the damn thing off but during a recharge I happened to glance to my left where the phone was charging to find it just rebooted itself.
Initially I thought "aw sh*t, here we go again with the motherboard", but low and behold the phone updated itself to the latest version even tho I didn't give it permission.

@k_huat
Notification is mandatory when auto updates is disabled, firmware does not download.

@nsanedown
It happened once the firmware was force pushed, even if you disable the auto update option, the manufacturer can override it.
Normally this is for very rare cases of security or legal obligation. it was the intern who must have pushed the wrong button 🙂
