I have a TW rooted version of the TF300T on build Version V10.4.2.9 , Android 4.1.1 . Recently, as i was trying to install whatsapp on tf300, i came across this a forum gizmolord that has a guide to install whatsapp on tablets without 3g sim slot. And i installed the ALL winners mod app.
This All winners mod App screwed up my build prop. (i didnt know what it was till now) and system apps such as supernote, and mylibrary stopped functioning and crashed (cannot even launch) . As i was a total noob, i tried to shift those apps out of system apps and uninstalled, them hoping to redownload the apks and reinstall them, but to no avail. However, it turned out that it was the build prop that was changed by the "All winners mod" app when i used "build prop editor" to view it.
I manage to find supernote.apk and .odex from a stock rom online and managed to reinstall supernote. I rename some of the prop file settings to ASUS/ EeePAD, then rebooted, and supernote worked fine. However, i cannot find a proper working Asusreader.apk and .odex. The one which i have still says it stopped working whenever i launched it. Also, after i managed to rename the prop file, an OTA came. I tried to update, but halfway it failed , showing a dead android. After which, i forced restarted the tf300t and it says update failed. (i already temp unroot my device)
How do i get the OTA back? And i think it might be because i removed the Mylibrary app (asusreader) which is a system app. So how do i get the My library app working again? Because i cannot find My library in a clean stock rom online. Supernote works fine. I need to update to firmware Version V10.4.2.13.
Help is apppreciated.

So I'm too new to post this to the dev thread, otherwise I'd have posted to the rom post.
I have been trying to install the netflix, netflix_mediaclient_246.apk. Before updating the prime 1.7 I was on the stock 3.2 update, without netflix installed. I updated to Prime1.7 and added the pcb theme (Wicked cool theme BTW)
I've tried a couple of sources, but when I attempt to install the netflix app, it says installing, then goes I get an error, "Application not Installed"
When reviewing the thread, some people referenced downloading netflix from the market, but I don't see it in the market, so I used downloaded copies.
Prime ostensibly already has the netflix patch, but I do need to get the basic software installed. Why would an app not install? I've never seen this type of error before.
Thanks
Have you enabled apps from third-party sources in the settings?
Yes, and I've sideloaded other apps since I went prime.
try using an app installer, and make sure that you don't have a bad version of netflix already installed.
I had done a full nvflash restore before going to honeycomb 3.2 so there is no previous NetFlix Install. I've tried easyInstaller, apk installer and appInstaller from the market all result in the same thing.
I've tried installing the .apk from an SD card mounted in the keyboard, from microSD on the tablet itself, and from the tablets own internal sdcard. All have the same result.
The application starts to install, says installing, then I get the red x with Application Not Installed.
I'm wondering if I should reimage prior to adding prime, try installing netflix and the reinstall prime - but I don't want to have to rebuild my data again
I was having the same issue, but ran the apk from total commander on my micro sd and it installed from there. However I am on rooted stock 3.2.
Total commander seems a cool little app- sadly like everything else. i get Application not Installed.
boo
I'm thinking at this point it's cwm restore, install netflix, re-prime. bah, I'll wait till the weekend, when resyncing touchdown will go much better.
SOLVED:
Grabbed the .apk from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
Named mediaclient_1. I was trying the 246 apk that I found on a few other threads.
Happy netflixing.
Few days after installing 4.0.4 update manually, I had to clear and uninstall the 3.5.15 play store. One day after that, I am still stuck with the 3.4.7 factory version but before u call me simply impatient, I got worried by the fact that in my manage apps --ยป all list, there is no market updater entry any more!!
So am I in some kind of trouble and waiting the market to update in vein or do u all miss this (4.0.4 structural change?) and I just have to wait a bit longer??? Anyone mind to confirm this for a second??
ps: its obvious that I can install the new market manually, but this is not the point...
ps2: Just checked the contents of the 4.0.4 update package compared to the 4.0.3 - indeed there is no market updater.apk and market updater.odex files anymore, just as is in my phone's system/app directory.
Solved!
During the day I had two confirmations that market updater is no longer a system app in 4.0.4, meaning that the update delay is just a matter of time and not a faulty configuration of my nexus. So, topic can be considered solved and even deleted (?) by the mods
a few moments ago my tablet showed me the popup with the update to .23
i said cancel, to temporarily uncheck root, i did that, and went to about tablet, checked update, it appeared and i started it,
but then the dead android with red triangle appeared, rebooted, googled what the reason could be
i also faced this issues with the last updates, but tehn i found teh dlpkg file here, but right now there is none...
i have uninstalled some system apps like cmclient (although the update was found...) and other asus apps i dont use,
could that make the problems?
and after installing the dplpkgfile ( .20) which i have downloaded, because of the same issues, i received this update... (but it didnt work...)
can anyone help me to get ota back to work (google wasnt helpful, neither xda...)

Yes. All files that are patched by the OTA update *must* be in their original or already updated condition or the update will fail.
If you want to know which files you need, unpack META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script from the dlpkgfile (it's a normal zip file) and read all the assert lines - they list the required files with the expected SHA1 hashes.
Hello everyone
I am not a developer but would appreciate any helpful feedback, preferably in layman's language, that anyone might be able to offer to a problem that I am having with my android device, running version 4.2.2, a large Hannspree 13.3 tablet. I bought the tablet about six months ago and I am happy with the general performance. However, recently I downloaded a number of streaming media apps from Google Play Store including the Sky Go and Sky Movies apps and also the All4 Channel 4 on demand app. When I tried to run these apps, I got a message saying 'These apps are not supported on rooted devices'. I am led to believe that the Hannspree 13.3 is rooted by default at manufacture although I did not know this at the time of purchase and indeed, at that time I was totally ignorant about 'rooting'. For this reason, I have not yet opted to do a factory reset of my device because, if true, then this would not solve the issue. After researching comments on a number of internet forums, I came across several suggestions as to how to resolve the issue. I opted for downloading the SuperSU app, which then enabled me, via the app settings, to perform a 'full unroot', which I duly did. By downloading a root checker app, I was able to verify that my large Hannspree tablet is now unrooted. However, when I tried the Sky Go and Sky Movies apps after unrooting, I still got an error message 'Not supported on rooted devices'. I no longer get the 'rooted app' message when I play the All4 app, but the app doesn't play, it simply hangs. Therefore, and I have been in touch with the Sky Community forums, these streaming media apps all still perceive my device to be rooted but it is not, although someone from the Sky Community forum suggested that there still must be traces of the original rooting in the OS/firmware which the Sky apps and other streaming media apps are picking up on. I tried, on advice, a hide root app but when I tried this, I get a message saying 'Cannot find the su binaries'. When I tried to reinstall SuperSU I got a similar message 'Cannot locate the su binaries and SuperSU cannot install them. This is a problem'. It seems that the original unrooting has removed the su binaries and I cannot now try hide root apps. However, there must be some trace of root that the streaming media apps are still picking up on.
Would anyone know how to remove these traces of root. I did read somewhere, another suggestion from a forum, that it was possible to manually unroot a device by using a file manager app and deleting su binaries from system/bin and system/xbin directories and deleting superuser.apk from system/apps directory. However having browsed system directory with root browser in the ROM toolbox app, the su binaries are not present in the system/bin or system/xbin which, I suppose, is further verification that my device is now unrooted. But it can't be fully unrooted, otherwise surely the streaming media apps would play.
Should I do a factory reset to restore the device to its default (presumably rooted) state and then manually delete the su as described above?
The curious thing is that the streaming media apps work perfectly on my smaller Hannspree 10.1 device, which obviously is not rooted and not perceived as rooted.
Is it possible to install the operating system of my smaller Hannspree device onto my larger Hannspree device? I tried the 'check available updates' in the About tablet tab in Settings but I get an error message on my large Hannspree device to the effect of 'Error invalid ROM ID' so cannot do an update, or check for an update.
Can any of you techies out there help?
Thanks, in anticipation.

Hi, thank you for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here*http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help*where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.*
Good luck.
I have Android 7.0 on my Note 5. I'm trying to install an older version of Gmail (I have the Unknown Sources thing already turned on) . I have tried downloading the APK files from various sites, but every time I click "install" it always says it can't install the file because it's corrupt.
I've had a few updates since getting the Note (it's been about a year now since I got it from AT&T) and I think one of those updates may be what's causing it to stop installing the APKs. Obviously other changes have been made under the hood, but it has to be the OS because I could install APKs when I first got the phone (back when it had Marshmallow on it).
I've tried wiping the cache and even doing a factory reset and it still won't install the APK file. I've tried several APK files and I keep getting the same response; App not installed. The package appears to be corrupt.
What's really odd is yesterday I was reading an article and it mentioned installing a APK for Google Now integration with Nova Launcher. I thought what the heck and downloaded the APK. It installed without any problems. I got this APK from the same place (APKMirror) I was getting the older APK versions of Gmail. I wonder why this one worked and the Gmail ones didn't?
If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
I managed to install an older version of ES File Explorer this morning. I got it from the APKMirror webite. Unfortunately, none of the Gmail APKs will work. Obviously I can still install APK files, so I'm going to have to search around on some other sites and see if I can find a good one for Gmail.
