Not sure how but this topic keeps getting missed in the failed update mayhem. One thing seems obvious bloatware are needed for update to succeed. TB cannot restore these. Is it possible for someone to share them so we can install. Wothout flashong ising oden

Just use Odin.

Odin will delete everything though. Was hoping not to do that.

Also it seems ppl who used odin are the ones having problems updating. Does anyone have the att apk files and how can they be installed.

Look at the survey in general you have been pointed to in other posts. You don't need bloat to have a successful update. Designgears has made an update. You can get the apk's off a system dump in dev.
Please look around and read. I'm not trying to come down on you, but all the questions and concerns you have, all legitimate, have been addressed.

.894 keeps trying to install - need to stop it

.894 keeps trying to update to my device and fails because of forever root. I know I don't want to update, but I need to find a way to stop this notification from popping up. Does anyone know a way short of unrooting and letting it update?

If you want to keep root, I wouldn't. But if you really need to, take mount_ext3.sh and remove the lines of code forever root added.

Delete the files from the cache folder.

I think you need to use root explorer to be abler to see them there is two files in the cache folksy you will need to remove, both saying something about .894, I had the same issue with .893, removed those files and it stop annoying me.

Ok, found an .apk in there that I deleted. The inly other file was what looked to be a log from .893
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

I deleted it and it is still trying to update.

Reboot after you delete it.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

You need to open root explorer and then go to /system/etc/security rename the file otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak and then reboot your phone and that should do it. Hope this helps

If your stock .893 not rooted what does .894 do for you

Kill your root, that's all it was released for
If your not rooted it probably closes the exploit

Didn't work. Still trying to update. I don't think it ever installed it, it keeps trying to download it. Looks like I may have to sacrifice root. Any other ideas?

It comes up as download of update failed. It is annoying because it will break into tasks. Say you are shooting a video, it will pop in and stop the recording.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Did you delete both files related to .894 in the /cache folder?

The only things in /cache is downloadfile.apk, lost and found and a folder names recovery that has a logfile in it. I tried deleting downloadfile.apk several times and it keeps coming back.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

That apk shouldn't be there. At least I don't have that. Try renaming it to .bak on the end and rebooting.

I checked for downloadfile.apk and it stayed gone this time. It still tries to update. Will probably come back after reboot.

So your phone is on Gingerbread? And you downloaded the official stock ICS update rom?
What is the file name that you downloaded? How big is it?

It was on gingerbread but my mom thought she was helping and went and did the install so I think it may have deleted the file now

So she "did" the install on your phone (over the air update?) but the install didn't start yet? I don't think the situation is clear yet. What would you like to do, and what symptoms are getting in your way?

I had it downloaded and just set to install later but while my mom was using my phone saw the update and hit install now. So now phone is running 4.0. What I was winding to do was try and extract the update to use for later if I needed to.

1) Download this ruu: http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe I got the download from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-vivid-att/software-updates
2) just double click file it downloads when ever you want to go back to stock...it will walk you through the process
Extra info:
-ruu stands for Rom update utility
-it is the official stock ics
-no, your warranty won't be voided by using it...
-it can only be used on windows
-it will delete all your apps and everything (except for stuff on your sd and external sd...like any thing you downloaded from a browser or put on your phone through USB)
-it takes a while...if it gets stuck do not unplug just wait it out
-if your freaking out cause its taking so long just ask in the q&a section for advice

[Q] SPH-P100 trouble installing CM10/CWM

Googled, searched, prayed, sacrificed a feature phone...no luck.
I have CWM4xxx on the Tab with RandomROM.
I want to install CM10 (p1c), but the install in CWM barfs basically saying it cant figure out that I have a SPH-P100 (error7)
I'm thinking the issue is that I need CWM5 to install CM10, but I can't find CWM5 anywhere for this tab.
yes? no? i'm an idiot?

Ok here's what you do get a zip program on ur computer I prefer winrar. Open up the ROM zip DO NOT EXTRACT IT, navigate to /META-INF/com/Google/android and open up the updater script in notepad. Start from the beginning and delete the first line up until the first semi colon you see (delete the first semi colon too ) and save and close the the zip and flash

I considered taking out the checks, but didn't know where they were and the way today is going didnt have the brain power. the farthest I got was to look at the shell script in the root.
I will give this a go, much appreciated

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

to return to CM9 from CM10 you need to restock to GB because of the incompatible MTD partitioning.

Yea...which makes it a huge PITA to do it that way. So much stuff all over the place it makes it real hard to figure it out
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

what is the real issue? backup and restore?
Buy titanium backup pro.
Or is it hard to get stock ROM for CDMA tab?
The process of Odin/Heimdall restock is less than 5 minutes.
I did it many times (uncountable by now) on my P1000.
The actual step is where the pit file is loaded, making the partition "stock" again.

i am having the same problem can someone show me exactly what to delete?
i figured it out .

Probably Need Root???

Is there any way to get the S5's Messaging App installed onto my Note3 (running official 4.4.2 NC2) without being rooted?

Have you tried installing it as a normal apk with unknown sources allowed?

I just tried that, got the .apk from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690997 it installs fine, but the app FC's all over the place and uninstalls itself after reboot. The thread says to move it to system/app or priv-app, but we can't do that because there is no root yet for NC2

I tried the same thing. I was quite disappointed when I got all the FCs.

I was thinking, its definitely going to be tough to get it into /system/app without mounting it RW (root necessary). This is just a thought, would an update.zip containing the apk be able to be flashed in the stock recovery?

*(And more importantly), what happens if that goes wrong?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

I think stock recovery has an option to flash an "update.zip". What happens if it goes wrong? I have no idea. I've never had to install a system app without root, I'm just trying to think of something that might work. I mean root browsers and adb are ruled out. Other than flashing, I don't know of many other ways to get an app in there. >.<
