I am rooted and I also got the "UPDATE FAILED or INCOMPLETE reason: IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED". I made the mistake of deleting the "bloatware" apk files instead of renaming them. I assume because of one or some of these files missing is causing the error. Anybody know where I can find the stock ROM apk files so I can put them back on? I've looked all over the web with no luck.

I went to /mnt/.lfs and tried to rename logo.jpg numerous times with several different apps that granted root access, but it failed all the time. I also tried to change permission but still did not let me to rename the file. The same thing applies to _ATNT.jpg
Is there anyway to rename it from the phone? I hate to see Samsung I9000 logo while my phone is Samsung I897. I don't want to flash my ROM too just to remove that logo.
I attempted the same thing. I'm rooted, but the applications I've tried this with didn't ask for superuser permissions, and I'm guessing they'd need it...though I AM just guessing.
It would be a lot simpler if we could just overwrite a .jpeg.
Dear All,
I have recently rooted a sidekick 4g (t-mobile) using SuperOneClick and today, I have a OTA update, which I've postponded until tomorrow...
After further research I found away to rename a file from .zip to .bak to stop further updates, but I'm still getting the notification..
So more research I saw other options for other phone about changing the build.prop file, but all the research doesn't match the info I've got on my SD card... (as I copied the file from the system folder to SD, the plugged the SD into my pc)
Can anybody help, what parts of the build.prop info would be needed for advice on changing it to other figures? I could provide it all, but I didn't want to copy and paste a big text file here.
Thanks in advance for the help and support.
Regards
If you
Code:
pm disable com.wssyncmldm
as root, you'll stop receiving notifications about firmware updates. This might or might not break TMO contacts backup, or maybe that was due to the com.wssnps package I disabled at the same time.
I know nothing about build.prop or what the update agent might actually be using to sense the version.
just go into system/apps and delete wssyncmldm.apk
Thank you both for the replies, I will do that later on tonight.
E:failed to verify whole-file signature

Installation aborted!
I copied the modified 3e recovery into the correct place and rebooted. I than downloaded rom mngr and installed i9000.
I get that error message when I boot into clockworkmod.
what am i doing wrong? Thanks.
I have samsung infuse 4g ATT.
You're skipping ahead. Go back to 3E, drop the modded 3E recovery in the right location, reboot into recovery, install packages (twice, if necessary), and then you can work on getting CWM.
Thankfully I got it to work.! Thanks.
I am having the same issue. When I dropped the modified 3e into the phone and tried to copy and paste it in it replaced my old recovery even though I renamed it. I am thinking this was a mistake? Other then that I when I am in recovery I re-install packages and get the verification error.

Did you have the system directory mounted to allowed R/W? If you don't allow that, it won't change anything. I would suggest renaming the old recovery file and then pasting in the modified one. Don't just paste it over the other one. This way you know the process completes properly.
Remember to set the read/write privileges though or it won't work.
Depending on what your plans are, you could always use Odin to go back to stock with the modified recovery preinstalled if you use h8rift's Odin files that are available in Development.(Mind you this method will wipe all of your system files though and put you back to stock. So, if you are wanting to keep what you have, but just modify the recovery, I would suggest the other route.)
I am fairly confident that I am mounted as read/write. As far as what you are saying as not just copying and pasting it, that is one thing that confuses me. I have tried various methods to get the verified recovery onto the phone. The most recent was using drop box. I used root explorer>copied recovery from dropbox>went to system/bin> renamed old recovery recovery.orig> and pressed paste. In various youtube videos I watched it would just paste next to the old recovery.orig, but mine would then proceed to ask if I wanted to overwrite the old one, and I said yes. I am hoping I did not mess things up.

New update avail says 53.1 mb Blur_Version.23.3.24.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US.zip for advanced calling. Downloads fine but once I try installing fails. So I found file in cache and copied to my download folder and tried to side load. Fails halfway through and says error with sys/app/galaxy4.apk. Not sure what it was so I deleted it (don't remember installing it but could've) cleared phones cache and tried again still same issues and as far as I can see the apk file isn't there?? Anyone got any ideas?? Rooted 4.4.4 SU5-24 and BL unlocked
have you made any changes to the system or to your recovery? as changing any of that could very well cause it to fail.
I guess I did, wife's phone took update just fine, I'll do full reset today and see if fixed issue. Thanks.
Unlocked & Rooted XT1080M
still fails anyone else got any ideas ?? There isnt a system file named that anywhere on the phone that im aware of, however when i look at the zip file itself there is a file inside the download Blur_Version.23.3.24.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US/patch/system/app/Galaxy4.odex.p if i delete it and try from recovery on phone it aborts immediately guessing bc the signature is broken since ive modded it by deleting it?

I'm pretty sure it has to do with live wall papers. You should just extract it from the zip you have and install it into your system.
Sent From My Droid Ultra
Fixed it, apparently I deleted 6 .apk files and 2 .odex files. Copied from wife's phone to a different folder and bluetoothed over, renamed changed permissions and renamed to the correct name took update and all is good. Thanks for you guys help

I did it earlier, have to be rooted to see the file that's downloaded. If you're using a root explorer search for "dlpkgfile" that's the name of the newest OTA at least, I made a copy on my SD card so I could keep putting it in the right dir and avoid downloading it all over again. Since I tried all my options i'm back to unrooted, still can't upgrade from g to o.
I don't remember the exact directory, somewhere in /etc/ if I recall.

I'm having the same issue with upgrading 10G. maybe there is a way in the ota Package
EDIT:
I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699123 to force an update using the dlpkgfile from ota. I wonder if it could work for G4 also??
@TheJokah @ajent. Don't need to be rooted. Root Browser will be able to view the directory without root permissions. (I use it all the time to browse system partitions and files on unrooted devices). You can do a lot with Root Browser without root. You just can't make changes.
When the fota is available you will find it in /cache/fota
I have captured several OTAs for various devices this way...
EDIT: Make sure to copy the file after it downloads and before restart, otherwise the file will be deleted before you get it.
That is good info, thanks.
I'm pretty convinced flashfire installing the xposed zip does something that isn't reverted when flashing the unrooted system image. I used my limited knowledge to look at that xposed zip and it seems like only modifications are made to /system so it should be removed when flashing back unrooted image. I really don't know, but hope somebody can figure it out lol.
