[Q] System update question for Android - General Questions and Answers

I have a rooted stock rom android. Bootloader is still locked with stock kernel. I was prompted to update today. I followed through with it and when I returned to the phone the restore screen was up that lets you load factory wipe and load from adb. It said...
Verifying current system
assert failed apply patch
check/ system/ app/ realracing3d.apk
installation aborted
Did this install only pertain to this game or did the firm or software fail to install due to my not having this game installed? I removed it because it was bloatware and took up over 600mb of internal memory.

[Q] Removing Apps with Titanium Backup

I am trying to remove apps from my HTC Hero (Sprint) by using Titanium Backup. I have the lasted Cyanogen ROM installed.
I have installed the BusyBox. I click on the app I want to remove and go down to Force Remove App (by recovery exploit).
It then reboots. However, it stays on the screen with the exclamation point and the android guy. When I hit a button on the phone and comes up with this:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package....
E:Signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.0.1.3​
Any suggestions?
Same problem here.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
Try This
This worked for me...let me know if it works for you...
Download BusyBox (by hitting Problems)
Go to Backup / Restore
Now just click an APP, don't hold it.
You Should be able to select Un-Install from here.
That's it!
Same problem here. Last proposed solution doesn't work, removed application is back after reboot.
Update:
Managed to remove Facebook using shell commands in ADB (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/10050-how-to-uninstall-facebook-after-installing-gapps/)
I really hated that Facebook service running in the background, now it's gone!
Lastest Version
Are you running the lastest version of Recovery?

[Q] How can i cancel update download

I accidentally started downloading the 2.3.6 update and o don't even want to update because I want to keep root, anyway to cancel the download?
I am not sure if you have used CWM but i had done a nanodroid back up before i had pressed the update button. So i restored the old back up and now i have no problems with the update.
There's two steps to the update process- download and install. Once it downloads it asks if you want to install. You can say "no" and I think it will prompt you every hour or something. If you want it to stop prompting you to install the update, you will have to be rooted. You can either delete the update file (it's the only .zip file that's located in the /cache directory) or you can freeze the following apps: "2.3.5 updater and upgrader 1.0.0" (thanks unsivil_audio).

[Q] Help, No Play Store Installed

Hope someone out there can help this noob out.
I have a Galaxy Tab GT-p5110. Yesterday I rooted it, installed Titanium Backup and did a full backup.
I then installed CWM and managed to install cm-10.1.3 and a package of gapps.
Very happy so far to get all the bloatware off the unit but there is no play store in the gapps package.
I cant install any apps, I have tried to do this via the browser. it says installing etc but the app never appears.
when I try to update the rom via settings/about phone CyanogenMod Updates it downloads the new ROM and reboots but then aborts the install. When I try to install a gapps package it says it cant verify the signature file.
I guess the main fault is the lack of Play Store, without it you cant do anything.
I have Odin and cant find a file .md5 or tar file to install.
Edit: I have since found i can drop the Play Store .apk file and install it from the sd card, this process worked but when i try to open Play Store, it opens momentarily, then closes......
Any help much appreciated.

1. Disable data packet/use airplane mode
2. Force Stop Playstore, clear cache n data
3. Go to the setting, clear account
4. Reboot
5. Open Playstore then login again
Nearly there

Hi nasheich and thanks for the reply.
I should have noted that i have a wifi only tab.
Went through your steps carefully a few times but Play Store still only opens for a brief second, then disapears, I didnt quite understand step 3, clear account. play store version is 4.3.10 and Android version is 4.2.2,
Kernel version
3.0.31-CM-gac1803c

Please help when you can, thanks and regards
Be sure you flashed the 4.2.2 gapps, the latest gapps (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip) is for 4.3.

Ok, got gapps-jb-20130812 which is the correct one. went into recovery mode and selected "apply update from external storage" selected the file then I get:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Then it all stops and i have to re-boot. I think if i can get this package onto the device then all will be good,
thanks in advance for your help
Hi, i would recommend you to do the following:
1) Download cyanogen mod 10.1.3 stable(4.2.2 android version) and gapps package 20130812 which is compatible with that version of cm
2) Copy them to your sd card (internal or external)
3) Download a md5 checker ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135620 ) and verify that the files in your tablet have the right md5
4) boot into cwm, do a wipe data/factory reset (important), wipe dalvic cache and install cyanogen mod first and then the google packet
its important to make a factory reset as there are data in your tablet which will conflict with other versions of gapps
Solved
followed the steps carefully and it all worked fine, I cannot thank katsika and nasheich enough, you guys rock and roll.
Muchos Gracias

Multiple system error after new app install or app upgrade!!

Hi,
I have a modded photon q with Carbon kitkat rom (working without problems for over 2 years) but now I have a problem:
- If I update any of my apps system reboots and gets stuck in bootloop, If I go to twrp recovery and delete the files of the updated app the phone can restart.
I have cleared cache and dalvik-cache , but if I install a new app or update an old app I get same problem.
I have cleaned EVERYTHING, formatted from twrp, manually wiped all partitions and made a clean install of CarbonKK whith pico opengapps.....I can install all of my OLD apps (I make a backup so don't waist data to redownload) and it works.....but AGAIN if I download any update or install a new app GET BOOTLOOP AGAIN!!!
I have recleaned EVERYTHINK, flashed CM12.1 and a 2 month ago version of opengapps, and again I can install my old apps but if I download any new ones I get "launcher error" "system error" "settings error" etc etc.....until I reboot into recovery and manually delete latest app files.....
I have tried 2 different versions of CM12.1 and 2 different versions of opengapps BUT STILL NOTHING CHANGES!!!
I have booted without SD and still no change!!!
Have you any ideas???
What can I do to get a working OS on my phone????
Update:
tried a clean install (CM12.1) without gapps....downloaded fx from store with yalp and still got ERROR!!!
