OK, so I finally got the system update for the D2G yesterday. I'm not new to this whole game, so I removed Clockworkmod, unrooted, and installed the update. The update downloads fine, but the with the little Android guy screen, I get an "!" in a triangle and then the phone reboots.
Maybe I didn't remove clockwork all the way? Don't you delete hijack and logwrapper, and then rename the logwrapper.bin to logwrapper?
well basiclly the phone needs to be untouch in terms of the file structure, in my case, I deleted a few of the stock apk files and when I tried to do the update it would fail because the stock apps were missing and the update is a patch not a full system OS so it cant install the default apps, I had to install them back to the system/app with root explorer and then set the permissions back to what they needed to be, unforchenitly a hard reset would not install the stock apps. Also make sure anything that the root touched has been set back to default
I have the same problem too. I can't get the update to work at all after installing Fission ROM. I even restored from a nandroid from a fresh D2G. It worked fine on the untouched phone tho. I checked all the files in the /system/app and they were there. Is there any magical restore .zip perhaps?

I never touched anything... I stopped using Titanium Backup a long time ago when I uninstalled everything verizon and had the same OTA problem you described. I am at a loss for the problem that I have! All I ever did was root and put on clockwork, and I made sure they were gone when I updated.
Please, someone help!
did you uninstall of freeze any of the stock apps in /system/app? You need to restore them in order to successfully apply the OTA update. One file missing or modified in /system and checksums will fail/update fails.

the only time I touched anything in /system was when I removed clockwork by deleting hijack and renaming logwrapper.bin. Can anyone give me a number of files I'm supposed to have in /system, or maybe a way to go back to stock. Man, that SBF would be mighty helpful right now...
There is system dump laying around. I'll PM you the link (not sure if appropriate to post it here). You can use it to compare content and recover missing file(s).

Hi, I've been trying to find an answer, and I think you could help me.
I had the same problem as this person you were helping, but I already knew that I should look through the system dump and compare. I did that, and deleted one file called dbus.conf from /system/ect. Now, my phone just does the DROID animation over and over again! Please help, I made a copy of dbus.conf on my computer and did a nandroid backup. Please, you or someone else on here, HELP!
So you are in a boot loop. If you can't get the phone to boot into clockwork recovery, today is your lucky day! SBF was finally released!!! Get the SBF and reflash /system

Where is it? Isn't it only available to those with some app called TBH (or something like that)? And now I have to wait for a public release? And, if I'm wrong, can you give me a link to thee file? I can't find it anywhere...
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!
I would recommend you to approach the team black hat members and talk to them directly about how to get the sbf while your phone is non functional.

But where is the system update located? I checked on the verizon website and there is nothing there. Also, do you have to be a verizon customer to get the update?

Does this require a de odexed rom? The stock galaxy nexus has odex files so im not sure if this will work?
Also you mention the exchangegoogle.apk this isnt provided here, do you mean you backed up the stock one and reinstated it along with the moded emailgoogle.apk after a reboot?
Cheers

I would say it requires de-odexed ROM.
I can't install this as normal application, it will return fail.
So I know I need to clear the email off the system (including the ExchangeGoogle).
Backed it up, delete and reboot.
Then I copy both of them back and reboot it.
guys you dont need to touch ExchangeGoogle at all.
EmailGoogle is all you need.

Well, I thought I'd get it over with - so I flashed the Revolution HD rom for my Galaxy Nexus.
I tried both methods, copying and CWM for the modified apk but I still get the exchange error when opening the email app. I copied back the original apk and it launched OK.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I sent you a PM in case...

Which is why I deleted/backup EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk, reboot and copy paste back the modded EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk.
Else, I'll just get exchange services has stopped.

zaidaiman, can I ask what rom you're using?
I swear I did it right, but it's still a no go for me.
I copied the 2 APKs EmailGoogle and ExchangeGoogle to sdcard for backup.
I deleted the 2 files from system/app
rebooted
copied the modded EmailGoogle and then the ExchangeGoogle APKs back to system/app
changed file permissions to read/write, read, read.
rebooted.
Immediately on bootup I get the exchange error. I tried to go through email setup and got the exchange error several more times then it closed the email app.

I'm using kwiboo's ICS AOSP ROM with franco.kernel ICS on Nexus S.
How about you try to set it up, just ignore the bloody exchange service has stopped, reboot and uninstall it through titanium.
I think the issue is the some sort of "registry". Need to clear this one for sure.
Works
Works on I9000 ICS port Beta1. I just followed the steps in OP. Thanks
I use Exchange mail for work and I'm curious: why would you actually need this? Is this only for people who have specific security policies that prevent the stock Email app from connecting to the server?

PS: not sure if it is the apk you modded's fault or the exhange - but after a couple of reboots or 24hours, the email stops responding - and I get a "cannot connect due to security" message.

I ve removed some system apps like twitter n flickr. Can i update my device to the version v55.13.25 from the previous firmware without any issues ???
How did you remove the apps? Its better to freeze them and defrost before an official update. If it were me and I'd removed the apps completely and I liked where my phone was at and I didn't wanna flash the fxz I'd find those apps and re-install them. If you go that route make sure your permissions are correct when you place the apps back into the system folder.
The End.
Okay I've zipped the twitter and Flickr files and uploaded to my drop box if you want them. They're stock odex files. The two files for each app (.apk and. odex) are in folders. So after extracting their folders you can place the files in /system/app folder and change permissions once there. Let me know if you want the links to the downloads.
The End.
I just noticeD you're from India. You might want files from the India ROM yes? Are you on stock odex or a custom ROM?
The End.

Removed them through system app remover.Will a hard reset restore those apps?Its an ATT model with their firmware not the Indian one..
Oh I see. I don't know what I was thinking. You can do a factory reset to get those back. You will loose all of your data in the process so backup your data and only format your SD card if you have that all stuff backed up to a PC.
The End.
Wait. What's "system app remover"? Is that an app? I'm confused. I've done so much to this phone with swapping ROMs and moving system files around via Root Browser that I'm not even clear about your issue.
FWIW I've recently come full circle and currently use the stock 2.3.6 odexed ROM. I use Twitter and Flickr too. Sorry. I think I've confused myself here ha-ha. Somebody please address the OP. lol.

Yes! it`s an app...To be clear i uninstalled those apps after rooting my A2 with the "system app remover" . Will the OTA update work even though the
i`ve removed those apps beacause the update might be for those apps as well and will i lose root if updated to the new firmware
NO, do not try the update if you have deleted any system .apk's.
This is probably the easiest way to do it:
1) Install CWM through the bootstrapper if you haven't done so yet.
2) Boot into CWM and make a backup
3) Flash the fxz (scroll down a bit)
4) Once the phone boots up, log in to your google account and do whatever else you need to do. DO NOT uninstall any applications (even if they're uninstallable) and DO NOT root.
5) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software update. Make sure you're connected to wifi and install the update!
6) Once your phone has updated, re-root it, install CWM, and restore the backup you made.
Hope this helps, good luck!
Yup. What cogeary said. How embarrassing. Its just been one of those days where I should just keep my mouth shut. Not in a bad way. It IS my birthday, and the moon is closer to the Earth than it will be for a good while. Ha-ha. Seriously, cogeary knows his stuff.

I have a galaxy s 4g with gingerbread 2.3.6. I rooted it and that went well then deleted some factory things and accidentaly removed my messaging abilities. And now the android market app force closes so I cant update anything. IM A NOOB AND HAVE NO CLUE. What do I do?????????
Download the stock kg4 from my guide that is linked in my signature and extract the mms.apk from /system/app and install it. As for the market, try clearing the market data and cache (go to settings, applications, find the market and then click it and hit the clear data button

You don't need to download a whole ROM for one apk. The third link in my signature has all the stock GB apks. You likely need to reflash anyways or add back the apk's you deleted until you get market working. You probably deleted an apk the market needs in order to run. I've done that a few times. You can flash back to stock using the guide in the second link of my signature.
Next time instead of deleting the apk's rename them putting a '.bak' on the end of the file name then test how the phone does. That way you can remove the '.bak' if something goes wrong and determine what caused it.

Start over. It will take too long to walk you through the non reflashing way. Follow the guide in the second link of my signature. It will put you back on Stock unrooted GB. Go from there. Reread my suggestion above before you start deleting things. Good luck.

I can't try that on my machine right now, well at least not my laptop and wont have access to my desktop until Saturday. I did however try this originally on my Nexus 7 with 4.3 and it failed, so I am not sure it would even work on 4.4 especially since the mail app has apparently been updated.

I haven't been able to test these yet, but If someone wants to check report back. If not I will check tomorrow. Stock email and exchange apks with the pin bypassed.
Backup your current email and exchange apks including their odexed files and push these to system/app, set permissions, and reboot.
Exchange2Google.apk - 1.12 MB
EmailGoogle.apk - 4.81 MB
Trying now, will respond with an update in 15min.
Update: Here is what I did, and please tell me if I did this wrong or need to replace my odex files. I changed the 2 apk files and their odex files to .bak after their names. Moved the 2 files you linked into system and changed permissions. Rebooted the device. Setup my email. Added my account and it asked for permission, hit activate and it did not make me set a passcode. Email is syncing now.
Only question is, should I make a copy of the 2 odex files and just put them back in there, or leave it without and .odex files? I have no idea what the .odex files actually do which is why I am asking.
I followed the steps in the other thread, made a flashable zip then flashed it. Working fine here :victory:

I tried this patch and it stops syncing after a while too. I could not get it to work after trying multiple times. I just switched to the 4.3 version and it's working perfectly.
I patched mine with the first method of copying the files over myself and 16 hours later it is still syncing my mail just fine. Setup as Exchange account with active sync.

Flashable zip worked fine for me.
I did try switching to the ART runtime and I then got constant FC's on the email app/exchange app. I reflashed and it still had the issue.
After switching back to Dalvik, all is working and it didn't need another flash. So stay on Dalvik.
