After rooting my new Nexus S 4G I inadvertently uploaded the GRJ90 (2.3.5) update file, but it has not installed. Now I'm being hounded by requests to restart and install the update.
Can I just locate the file, remove it, and continue on (and if so where is the file)? Or am I stuck having to install it and then re-root?
No. If you remove the file it wont matter. That is what a ota does. Notfify of the update over the air....
There is a way to stop it but just install it and rerooot. The time it took you to write your post you could have done the entire process.....
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).
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
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.
I'm having a new lenovo a3300. a few days ago I've rooted it. Everything goes ok until I replaced the framework-res.apk on device with the wrong (unintended) one. And now the device is bootlooping. It doesn't go further than lenovo logo anim, and adb doesn't detect it (no new devices in device manager). But I still can go to recovery and sideload from there. But every framework-res.apk in zip packages pushed to causes Installation aborted. Now I'm stuck with this one.
I've tried flashing many framework updates and even create one (+sign) but I always get "Installation aborted".
What should I do now?
EDIT: I've a backup before making changes, the original apk renamed to framework-res.apk.bak but now there's no way to access to the filesystem..
