.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

I deleted it and it is still trying to update.

Reboot after you delete it.

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?

Titanium backup and freeze updater. Defrost when you need it.

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.

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.

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.

I got the file, put it on my sd card, booted into recovery with power+ x the file was re named to update.zip but in recovery its called update.zip.zip and when I try and apply it, it fails. Can anyone tell me how to apply the update properly that's done it? I've never done a leaked update so I'm not sure how to.

A step by step would be useful and maybe a way to find the download in case I don't have the correct one? I'm not sure if thats allowed
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
you need to rename it to simply update. Its already in .zip format anyways..
And, not to be rude, but if you don't know what you're doing you shouldn't be doing this.

Actually you don't need to rename it to update.zip. I had to flash with the original blur file name. Renaming it to update.zip would always cause it to fail for some reason(and I checked multiple times it that it was update.zip and not update.zip.zip.)

How did you remove the apps? Did you delete the .apk's directly or did you use Titanium Backup?
I deleted the apks

Deleting the APK in the /system/app location doesn't delete the app only the APK file which allows the system to load it during the bootup processes. You must use Titanium Backup to delete or freeze a app that the stock system loads up. Also you must be rooted in order to use Titanium Backup.
Question... If I freeze them can I update via ota down the road... I just tried to update to .905 and it could because I deleted apk
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
nope you would have to unfreeze those apps to update when a OTA comes around
If you already rebooted then maybe it is under data/app as well.
So, first post here because I can't seem to find the solution (as I normally can)... but, I was using the CM App installer that allows you to install some CM apps on any ROM, and it crashed in process and my messaging app was deleted. I use Sliding Messenger, but it won't send MMS now. How can I get the stock app back?

Go to the development tread and there are system dumps for the different carriers. Download the Mms.apk and the Mms.odex
Push them into the system/app folder
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
I already got the system dump, but I don't know how to "push" it through. I assume it's with adb but I've never had to go that route. If someone could easily direct me the process for that, it would be great! (I will still be searching on my own too)

I used root explorer but I'm rooted.

I read up on it last night and that's how I attempted it. I was successful at pushing the app into system/app and then install it, but it would just force close immediately after opening. I'll keep digging to see what else I can do

change the write permission using root explorer or es file explorer. click on it or long press and go to more in es file explorer. then click on properties.. change it to -rw -r -r like the rest of the system apk and odex files. This should fix your problem.

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?

Can you do that without being rooted??
*(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. >.<
