Using nfx stock 2.1 rom with chainsdd superuser app. I had a problem with an app that was looping the launcher and had to restore a nandroid. All seemed to be ok until I tried to use terminal. Su was denied. I then tried anything that required SU access and nothing would work. I have tried the update from the market for the SU apk. I uninstalled it. re-downloaded the eclair version 2.3.6.1 and flashed the Zip and got this error.
"E:wrong digest: META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script E:Verification failed"
Not sure what I am doing wrong or what might be the cause for the SU apk to have stopped working, but any help would be appreciated.
I also have unchecked the debugging and rechecked it to make sure a setting was not screwed up.
Try going into settings / applications //manage applications / and find the super user app. Then force close it and clear data. The try a app that requires su. Aslo you might wanna change the notifications in the super user app to regular notification / normal instead of the toast notification. Good luck

Your OP is a little confusing, but it sounds like the zip was bad (not signed), not the apk. You could try to update the SU binary inside the superuser app, otherwise..... Go into your titanium backup and hit the "problems" button, see what happens. I am wondering if you lost busybox. Report back
Thanks for all the feed back. I did go into the application and clear data and Force Closed it. That did not fix the problem. I also changed the notifications and nada. I tend to think I lost busybox. I am not sure what it is for, but I think that was it. I did try to use titanium backup, and it gave me an error about busybox. I was going to download it again but was not sure if it was compatible with the rom I was using.
I needed to get SU access so I ended up starting over. Wiped everything, repartitioned, and then flashed a newer version of the Rom. Thanks for all the help guys.
Glad you got it fixed.

For future reference, busybox from TI backup is always the most up to date and safe/needed for any custom rom, so yes you could've updated it and it would've been fine. I don't know how you lost it but now you know how to fix it if it happens again, WITHOUT having to start over. On a side note I love being right, happy trails.
I have a rooted samsung fascinate, with stock rom/kernal..
Anywho I was playin around with installing some apps and I wanted to install the free version of Printershare, but instead of getting it from the market I used an APK file to install it from my sd card. Well the file appears to have been corrupted, so I attempted to uninstall it through root explorer, as well as remove all traces of the program. When I went to reinstall the program from the APP market, I now get the error "Installation Failed.. Update Incompatible." I searched around to figure out what that meant and in the process I noticed that the com.dynamixsoftware.printershare package was still listed in my manage apps section, but I am not able to uninstall it from there. I searched for it in root explorer but like I said I deleted all traces of printershare before so i didnt find it there. If anybody can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!! THX!
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong section I'm new to XDA
Try downloading Titanium Backup from the market. There is a free version and it should take care of your problem. If not, some others have recommended a program simply called Installer for Root.
Would really appreciate some help.
Removed some bloatware via Titanium Backup, and of course, I got trigger happy.
process com.motorola.contacts (Contacts force closes)
process com.motorola.conversations (text messaging force closes)
So I have Root Explorer and got a hold of a system dump for Bionic.
I started by moving YahooContacts.apk (one of the apps I guess I shouldn't have uninstalled) back to the /system/app folder...but it doesn't show up anywhere as an installed app (just that the .apk was moved). If I try to actually select the .apk and try to install it says "Application did not Install" but the .apk IS moved.
Processes still don't work after moving.
I would appreciate any help, at this point I can't text or place calls. Thanks in advance, this forum helped me with the entire root process.
You cannot freeze/remove ANY of the other authenticator apps, it will cause contacts to freeze. I ran into that on the Droid 3.
First off there is no need to delete/remove, Freezing them accomplishes the same thing but most importantly it allows you to reverse what you have broken by Defrosting it. Do yourself a favor stop deleting and start freezing. If 16GB is not enough internal storage for you then you might consider an external HD from Seagate!!!!!!! LOL
I realize I made a big mistake. That's totally on me But it's in the past
Do I have any options to get this working again? I am definitely going to freeze apps in the future.
If I did delete an authenticator process, is there any way I can get those back? Would they be available through a system dump?
I believe that you need to make sure the permissions are correct after reinstalling an apk to the system/app folder. I've never done this, so I'll let you do the research. I've heard you can use root explorer to do this or a script with terminal emulator. Sorry I can't help more
I have the exact same problem, and am attempting to troubleshoot this issue on a different forum, however I am not allowed to post links but I'll try and keep you updated.
Edit: It's not a problem with permissions, I've made sure that they're correct with root explorer. It seems to be a Bionic-specific issue. I might just return it at this rate.
Thankfully, there's an unroot to use. I think im in the same boat. re-added all the yahoo related .apk and .odex and set permissions/owner, still nothing. Unroot and hope the Verizon dude is in a good mood!
Except now ADB is throwing "ERROR: ADB could not be granted root access" when trying to unroot
excellent.
Someone in the thread I was talking about had some success, its on droidforums dot net, droid bionic forum, bionic support, HELP! accidentally deleted IMSCServer from Droid Bionic thread. Maybe you can try something I haven't.
just do a factory reset thats what i had to do as I had the same problem.
I tried that, it didn't work... Did you actually get your system apps back? Did you do it through settings or the recovery menu?
i froze my bloat thats prob the difference and it was yahoo that caused the problem for me...

It really begs the question why anything with Yahoo is required by the system. Furthermore, why did they make it so frustratingly hard to reinstall system apps on the Bionic? Really disappointed in Motorola for this.
Here is the fix for Contacts, restore these files and set correct permission, reboot and presto Contacts fixed
That did it.. I have been looking for the YAHOO Contacts.apk file for 3 days with a bloody wortheless phone that I spent 300 shells on!
BTW I agree with Glimmerman, WHY DID YAHOO get involved in contacts? Talk about a sneaky way in integrate them.

Sorry if I'm newbtastic here but what do I do with these APKs and odex. I tried installing with ES explorer but it would not install. Am I supposed to move these files somewheres? /system/app then try install ? Thanks
answered my own question. I WAS newbtastic afterall. LOL. Thanks anyways. This did it. Dang Yahoo!
lol yep my girlfriend did this yesterday fortunately i have a bionic too so i just pulled the files from my phone and pushed to hers.
damn you yahoo.
also, apparently go contacts EX will 'fix' the problem (you must use their app however)

Wait - WHERE are we putting the Contact fix and do we extract it once we've moved it?

I'm confused as to where to put this. I downloaded it and it downloaded into tapatalk downloads. Where do I move it and do I extract it?
Hello everybody,
After flashing my phone with Temasek ROM RC1-87, i got problem with Car Mode. I can not really remove it, because ether i could not find it with file manager and there is no such app in application menu, not even in titanium backup with superuser rights.
It pop up very often, when i am answering my call, even walking. Just random pop up in phone top bar. Then i need to slide it down and lick it to close. I could not even turn it on, because there is no such app in my phone, but somehow it turns on. It is very annoying, because if i answer my phone call and it pop up, then speaker turns on, or for example i am surfing the net and it pops up, when i click it to close my web browser closes.
Maybe someone have the same issue? How could i remove it for lifetime .. My phone is rooted and full wiped. I did all the wipes in CWM. I tried only Temasek's ROM, so maybe it's it fault? Thank you for your answers.
P.s. I had the same problem in my stock kernel/rom, the only difference was that then the app showed up in screen and i needed to click EXIT. I get rid of it uninstalling with titanium back up back then. Now it does not work.
I don't have that problem mate. Sorry.
But seriously, how could that be even possible. There is no car home/mode*.apk, or i can not find it, there is no such app in titanium backup, there is no such app in applications menu and so on... Maybe there is some FULL WIPE or something..
Tried to use System Toolbox app, could not find any Car app.. I noticed before on other ROM that it appeared after installing gapps! Please someone, let me know how to get rid of that evil app
yes there is. goto applications "running services", its not under running but its under "ALL". u goto it and u cannot click stop / etc. cause its not running. atleast on mine anyway. .87
So how should i get rid of it?
If you are using my 2.3.7 gapps, there are 2 apks that you need to remove from /system/app in order to remove Car Home. They are as follows:-
CarHomeGoogle.apk
CarHomeLauncher.apk
Try finding it and delete it. If you still couldn't find it, I can make a simple flashable zip for you to remove the above 2 files from /system/app
Gimme a page if u need more help.
Cheers
I tried Super Manager,System Toolbox, stock file manager, non of them show that there are such files like CarHomeGoogle.apk or CarHomeLauncher.apk. I am looking at system/app/. Is that even possible? Could you make a zip for me? Oh and i did not install any gapps, just wiped my phone, installed your rom and that was it.
ive got it there. can see it in ALL (*not running)
i can browse to system/apps/ theres 2 there. cannot delete.
says error deleting file (permisions or something) what program can definatley delete these files?
I keep getting an update on my notifications and it's shaped as a shield and it ALWAYS comes back
How do I permanintly get rid of this? I tried disabling it by app info and no luck
Towelroot to root, then you freeze the security policy updates with Titanium Backup.
App is called SPDClient.apk and its in system/priv-app in the root directory. Use a file manager to rename it or delete it all together.
See here, close to the bottom: http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/r...nt-even-at-t-verizon-20-seconds-flat-0155617/
I deleted it and have had no issues and don't get the notifications any longer.

Thank you every time I end up updating a rom this always pops back up and always have to search how to get rid of it but this time I bookmarked this page. Another thing this phone should not have on it in the first place...
