Last night, I was backing up my phone using Titanium, when I started thinking about the Sprint apps. I decided that they wouldn't be necessary in any way shape or form, so I deleted them, including Sprint Zone.
This morning, I saw that I had a new 4.4.2 update, so I downloaded it to my computer, copied to the phone, and fired up the stock recovery. Imagine my surprise to see that the update was failing because of a change to the SprintZone folder.
Since it seems that I need the SprintZone apk in order to update my phone, and I cannot seem to extract it from the system img, could someone please temporarily upload the Moto X SprintZone.apk? I would greatly appreciate it.

I need some info if someone has the time to help me. I am using Titanium Backup and it reports since I installed a new rom that the following files are no longer installed on my Droid and for some reason they are not backed up even though I backup regularly. Talkback.apk, Kickback.apk, Soundback.apk, System Updater 2.1 update 1.apk, and Alarm Clock 2.1 update 1.apk. It also showed that Sound Recorder was not installed but I was able to find, download and install that file just fine. I just need to find the others so I can download them. Can anyone point me to them or send them to me? Don't worry about the Titanium issue I just threw that in to let you know what was going on. Can someone please help me get t files. I have found no help anywhere else.
Everyone, If you rooted your DroidX and removed CityID and/or GTalk and found out you can no longer download from the Android Market, heres what I did to fix it.
I searched and searched and found others who provided the stock, untainted .apk files for gtalk and cityId. I saved to pc, transfered to my SD card, then used the file manager to navigate and open them. I selected the manage option and selected " INSTALL "
Once done, I cleared the cash of the Market app, ran it and it worked!!!
I emediatly re-downloaded all my old apps bith free and paid. No problems.
Now I reset my phone to defaults first and then rooted it. I dont see why you would have to do that and i dont see a problem trying it if you phone is not rooted but thats up to you.
I discovered this fix when after the Market issue, i tried to install the leaked Froyo installer ZIP and kept getting an error refering to CityID.
Bassically it was saying it was checkeing for an update and files related to CityID and since mine where missing, it wouldnt install.
I thought that maybe this was also to blame for the Market download issue. Sure enough my inkling was right and now my phone is fixed.
FYI, if yo dont have CityID and/or GTalk installed, then the Froyo update wont install. Leaked or otherwise that I know of.
So if you had my problem, gve it a try. If for some reason you android market doesnt download, try replacing or re-installing the .apk files I attached and see if it fixes it.
Post here if you discover anything or need help.
Im not a programmer, just a PC Tech, so if things go wrong, sorry, I dint make you do it.
These attached files are for the DROID X.
WHy Google hasnt said anything about this is beyond me, but im sure they have known all along.
Cheers Android world, and Google, your welcome, i just may have saved you mucho customers. Enjoy.

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?
If anyone is looking for the update: http://dump.no/files/2501381a2bd4/Blur_Version.2.4.29.A956.Verizon.en.US.zip MD5: a493e4efc9d27c8932d604806f817a85

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?

I've definitely researched through the forums and haven't seen this problem/resolution, so I'm hoping someone can help me.
I installed Cyanogen 7 on my dad's HTC Hero (CDMA) and I think I may have botched it. I used Clockwork Mod's Rom Manager to do a backup of the HTC Sense 2.1, and then began updating to CM7. The update went brilliantly, but my dad realized he hadn't put all his contacts into his google account, some of which would be extremely nice for him to get back.
Un-worried, I pulled up clockwork mod and went to the manage backup and recovery but found no backup. Puzzled, I used file manager to dig through the directory and found the backup it said it made, but I can't seem to point the mod at it. I copied the recovery file into a variety of different basic folders, as some basic google fu suggested it might simply need to be in the right folder.
None of that worked and I couldn't find a similar problem in the folder, so I turn to you all. To create the recovery, I simply clicked Backup Current Rom, it rebooted, created a backup and reloaded, giving me the recovery file: recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.... Can't read the rest, but that should give you an idea. It's only 2.29 megs, which feels small, but who knows what you need for a recovery file.
I feel like I missed something important, but I can't figure it out. Anyone? Ideas? Help? Suggestions? Thanks so much.
If it's only 2.2 mbs, something went wrong. It should be approximately the size of the phone's used internal memory.
If you want to attempt to restore the backup, you can reboot into recovery, then restore manually instead of through Rom Manager.
