Good day guys,
After rooting my phone, I inadvertently deleted some system apps, including chromewithbrowser.apk
Now my phone cannot do OTA updates; it always says installation aborted due to:
assert(apply_patch("/system/app/ChromeWithBrowser.apk",... followed by a bunch of letters and numbers.
From reading thru forums I understand that OTA updates look for the original system files. I tried d/l'ing the update, edited the app files to exclude chromewithbrowser.apk, and tried to manually push the update but unfortunately my phone's recovery is only equipped to handle signed updates.
Am beginning to think that the only way to resolve this is to reflash my phone's stock ROM image...however like a dumbass I did not backup my ROM (i am an idiot, i know)
I tried to manually load a signed chromewithbrowser.apk from a SG Note II, to no avail as well...same error.
Am at my wits' end here... although I think it might just be an update from 4.2 to 4.3, am afraid i won't be able to update to KitKat when the time comes (assuming that Lenovo gets the update as well).
Any help would REALLY be appreciated... thank you!
Yeah mee too i need the stock ROM

So I have Stock 2.1 rom htc Hero rooted with 1 click root. (Vista x64 and cant sync but the app inventor works fine)
I needed the space (thought I did, in the end I didnt)
And via titanium backup I uninstalled the stocks and stocks widget(without a backup). Now I got them from a very nice guy in apk form but I need also ODEX files to it.
I have a friend with the exact rom as me. BUT he doesnt have root and I am not sure I will be able to get root from him.
So any way to get the apk + odex without root? . And if no. How is the root way?
But cant push them back to the system.
He suggested I do it with the adb thingy but the first step:
adb remount -a
does this
when set change only = device not found
+ USB debugging = operation not permitted
Then I read here somewhere to try to install and move them to the system/app
But "application not installed" when trying to install
Bought yesterday the root explorer and was thinking to just move them to the system/app. Would it do some damage? Or just dont work? Or maybe work?
As you can see I dont have any idea what linux and android is about so I dont know what that move would do or anyone has any other idea how I could do this? (Without flashing )
And why I need it. There is a new update coming 405.2 with the G-sensor calibration tool (htc wrote me to get it) . But here somewhere I read that it wont install since in the package are updates for ALL apps even stocks.
I cant do much more to this hero, since its still in warranty (and kinda not mine ) And I know more of this is posted here, and I tried to get some answers in some other threads, but no luck.
If I know the 405.2 will go on without the stocks and stocks widget installed , I wont even need this. But I cant be sure or did actually someone try this?
And thanks for any answer and sorry for doubleposting.
I have created an UPDATE.zip without stocks, because I hate It and had removed from ny ROM too.
If You need It I can send You a link.

Perdita, I wouldnt know what to do with the update.zip . If it involves adb.exe on the stock rom as described it didnt work. Also if I might to know.
Will I loose the future OTA update capability?
Will I loose warranty in some way?
Will I loose root?
And is your version compatible with mine? Meaning the locale files, languages etc?
Btw what would the original OTA do to my stock rom if it wont find the app? Will it boot into the recovery as did for the one guy in the thread before? Or it would just skip the files?
If it really just dont patch what it wont find I would wait
Perdita you seen the update what else is fixed as just the G-sensor, since that I fixed now manually and if thats the only change, no need for me to update kinda?
Latest PATCH updates about 100 files, so I don't think it shows changes G-calibration. I think that if you remove stocks with root, you will have errors with every patch that updates those files, so OTA updates that touches those files will fail too.
You will loose root for a while because you must re-root again (in my case I have update superuser application too).
About warranty, I don't know if you have root, and removed some applications from Stock ROM, you will have problems with warranty now?¿?¿?
Perdita2000,
Well with the one click root and unroot I wont loose the warranty .
So perdita . you sau I wll get errors. But that means I will brick my phone? Wont boot or just wont update? Or just errors and will upadte and skip files.
And thanks for the answer
You can't not update using standard OTA because it will try to patch files missing on your phone. That's all, you can't use HTC patches if you removed software to be patched...
I have tried and... files are not skiped, UPDATE just doesn't install...
Perdita2000,
Ah thanks soo much for the info When I get out of work I will bug you more
Perdita thanks for your asisstance .
But I was luckily able to get the apps back.
here is how (all at own risk!):
1. Find them . I found a suitable original non patched rom and extracted the apps I needed, in my case , STOCKS and WIDGET both APK and ODEX
2. Copy them with ROOT explorer to SYSTEM/APP (mount in RW)
3. Change permissions so they are the same as the other apps in that directory
4. Reboot (once or twice)
Maybe even the sense cache to erase and you have them back
This is what worked for me since I had no luck with the adb.exe :/
Now I am running the new update ....405.2 with ROOT and Stock rom (still with warranty )
Thanks PAGOT, but I'm running my own custom ROM without a lot of unusefull apps for me and a added apps and custom kernel to, so I want to update just files I have on my rom that's why a told you to use a custom UPDATE.zip.

hello all. i did a dumb thing and used cracked apps now i get gapp failure. also ended up deleting many apps and files from my phone. i tried reading up before i signed up to post. i am running a motorola razr with jelly bean 4.1.2 the x912 and went to a website to root and so on. i ended up downloading luckypatcher and some others. since have removed or reinstalled with play store but now am getting the failure. have titanium pro and backed up the full system to one file but it was after the screw up. need guided through making other backups and wiping or fixing android. i apologize now for not have done the research the first go. of course the website i did use walked you easily through destroying my system but no help on repair.
reason i ask is i dont want to make things worse if there is such a thing. it just sounds above my knowlege to remove the file that patcher put in and make nessicary backups. also not sure if my safestrap file would cause harm.
also stated reinstalled from play store but it was just paying for the licience for apps i think i needed to keep.
installed are titanium pro, super su, and sq lite
missing clockwork mod and busybox but not sure if it is needed?
used a file to bootstrap labeled safestrap razr d4 bio 3.11
used a file to root labeled razriroot zipped.
wanting to keep android for now but want root feature to unlock wifi hot spot
looking deeper into my issues i think i have got more wrong than i know finding missing system apps and now i believe i need to start completly over or new phone.
Can the lucky patcher app remove the patches before uninstall?
solved my own problems

Come to find out there was no lucky patch on this device and errors came from OTA no being finished on device. I started my hack in the middle of transition and got myself confused when I seen .BAK files instead of .APK and when got my head right just reflashed, rooted and strapped and all seems good so far.Thank you to XDA and the endless knowledge on site. You just have to look.
Props

Hi All,
I've screwed my one day old LG. I have the Australian Telstra version - LG-P655K.
Rooted fine but got trigger happy deleting some of the system apps. Basically I must of deleted some sort of downloading app as the Play Store no longer works plus I can't download any files through Chrome.
Furthermore when accessing Play Store through Chrome, it doesn't recognise my device even though I'm logged in. Guessing some sort of backup between this new device and my Google account has screwed up as well.
I've searched all over Google looking for the stock firmware in an attempt to flash it and get it back to normal. However no luck in finding it.
Anyway, I'm basically on the verge of simply buying a new phone. Can anyone help with locating the stock firmware for this phone? And maybe a stretch, but basic instructions as to how to flash it?
More than happy to make a donation to anyone that can help (if that's what people do on here, sure I've read that on other posts)
Thanks in advance.
I may be telling you what you already know but try to factory reset your phone. if that doesn't work you should find a recovery mod and firmware for your device, transfer them onto your SD card from a PC via USB and follow the steps to flash the original firmware.

Sorry, but this is bad advice as the OP obviously deleted something in /system, which a factory data reset will do nothing to help. It might even make it worse since many LGs are very sensitive about trying to run with missing bits of the /system and will throw a Security Error after resetting (possibly) or trying to update via OTA (for sure). They also already stated that they have not had luck locating the stock firmware, hence the reason for their post. I understand your willingness to help, which is great, but bad advice in these kind of situations might be worse than no advice.
Unfortunately, in a quick search, I was only able to find the specific firmware version for your phone off a Chinese site that you'll probably need Google Translate for (unless you or someone you know is fluent) and to sign up for an account there to get the link:
http://poweredw.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=662939
I am not familiar with the site, so can not make any promises to whether it'll work or what other steps would need to be taken.
Another thing that I would try, would be to download a rom (have only found them for some US carriers) and unzip the rom and look in /system/app and compare with what's left in yours to see if anything important looks like it is missing.
http://androidforums.com/metropcs-t...-root/868464-rom-ms659-p659-slimlite-rom.html
Do not attempt to use that rom for your phone, it is only for comparitive purposes.
Done this before...
If google play isn't working, more than likely you've deleted Application Manager. I was debloating my Optimus F3 and uninstalled Application Manager, and lost GP with an error every time I would try to download an app. You could probably save yourself a factory reset if you could download the Application Manager as an apk via PC and move it to your phone and re-install.
Then again, if you didn't uninstall Application Manager, I wouldn't know what else has been removed.
How did you perform the root on the telstra LG p655k
Wouldn't mind knowing how you performed the root access on your phone
Thanks

Is there any custom rom for Alcatel 4030d available? I am having trouble updating due to having rooted the phone before, (assert failed, chrome not removable without libs error). I tried to move google chrome as a system app but I failed, system memory full.
So I would like just to re-install the entire system from scratch.
Hi,
I'm in your same conditions, :crying:
unfortunately through the official software will not let me update / restore the stock rom (wrong model).
Does anyone have a backup for TWRP or for the SP Flash Tool?
Thanks so much for the support.

hello friend.....
i also have this trouble... but after all i found this thread in below link ,,,, it is a custom rom not stock :crying:
hope it is helpful....
Dear all,
as there is no specific thread for the tablet, here my request:
I rooted the device (A1-840FHD) and everthing was fine until I installed the latest update (and re-root).
Now the camera is not working anymore (immediate force close) - no connection with google camera. I already tried to reset the device (hard reset and via settings), deleted data of the camera and gallery - camera still does not work.
Therefore: if someone could create a stock image which is installlable via recovery or a backup of Titanium backup of the device (with a working camera), this would really appreciated. Any other hints as well...
I can offer some space on my webspace in order to upload. Please help, if possible by any circumstances...
Best regards,

Installing titanium and backing up.
Never having used titanium before it might take a little experimentation.
If you know the files needed then it would obviously reduce the size of the file I need to upload.
Where did you find the update, I'm on 4.4.2 and have seen 4.4.4 mentioned but haven't found the update file anywhere.

Thx a lot. To be honest, it could be any file so from my point of view a whole tb backup package would be the best option just use batch actions (button on upper right corner) and select "all system data" in the backup section - it should backup almost everything system-wide (it might be a good idea to reset the device first, if possible)
One try could be just the com.acer.camera...
Btw.: It is still 4.4.2 - a few weeks ago there was an official Acer update (as far as I remember about 50 to 100 MB), after that the camera stopped working.
Let's see how large your titanium backup folder is afterwards and how large a zip containing all files will be...
Please keep me posted,
best regards

Same problem here. But I think in my case was my fault.
After the root, I was making a "cleaning" with the Titanium, but forget to backup everything first. So I think I clean to much, because after that my cameras stop working anymore.
I'll be very appreciated too for that files rentaguru.
With that system files I can find what is missing in my tablet.
Thank you both.
Ok I have a full system at 475mb =. You could try the three files with camera in the name first
Easier might be to try what fixed the camera on other tablets where a KitKat update screwed it. This is to boot into safe mode, try the camera, if it works then it should be fixed when you boot back to normal
The backup is climbing into Dropbox. When finished I'll get a list and try posting it
Thx - I will try it via safe boot - but to be honest I guess I will try either the cam or the whole package.
Thx again for your support
best regards

Tried safe boot... still the same (error). Looking forward to your package...

Hopefully....
this. ht tps: //copy .com /MWW6G8mEuvGtawGu is the tit backup of the systems applications (less the bloatware that I deleted before I decided it was a neverending task better left until we had a custom recovery available) Btw I have absolutely no idea of whether there are any limits (volume or otherwise) to the public access to that folder. Blast it won't allow me to post the url so piece it together!
I would point out the uploading it is really slow and keeps crashing, at present about 413Mb out of 475Mb has been uploaded and the brest is uploading at a rate of around 40kB/s. STOP PRESS .... now finished all 475mb is there

I tried the archive.
Unfortunately TB tends to freeze while restoring system apps (at 0% - even with other app processing option still the same) - i extracted all included apps and installed them manually.
The error still remains - last possibility in my point of view is to create an update.zip, boot into recovery as shown in the rooting thread and trying to install update.zip with CWM. After that the only chance remaining is to contact the support and get a replacement.
Nevertheless thx for your support.
Best regards

Sorry it didn't work. My suspicion is that it will be something in one of the various configuration files that don't get copied by titanium.
I will try to find the drivers for the camera and the entries in the configuration files for it and if I find them post the details so you can check yours against mine. Should get it done tonight so cross your fingers and hope.
Until we get an installable custom recovery solving things like this is going to be difficult. If you find such a beast let me know. I am in the process of installing apktool (h ttps://github.com/pqy330/apktool/tree/master/Apktool) which can unpack the boot.IMG and recovery.IMG but don't hold your breath
Someone as posted a cwm backup of his device on the root thread .... At http://acer.shreps.fr/dls/storage/A1-840FHD/A1-840FHD_1.042_AV0K1_RV0MRC02_WW_GEN1.zip
That might help .... Don't think you can flash it but it should give all the files.
I already sent it back to Acer. Now an official image is available on the support site... unfortunately too late. Let's see what Acer will say about the camera...
