Hi, (first post!)
i'm not the most experienced android user, which you probably would have been able to work out after reading my problem... here goes
i got super excited after rooting my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet (32gb ROW), and i started removing apps that i didn't need. Now i can't update, because the update searches for some files and makes sure they exist before it proceeds (as far as i understand, anyway). I deleted my mms package (mms.apk and mms.odex i think?) and this is where it aborts the update.
any advice? anyone have the backup i need?
i've read about modifying the updater script, and while i'm capable of following instructions, i have no idea how to do that. perhaps someone can modify it to bypass the mms app checks?
sorry for lack of forum etiquette, more of a lurker than a poster
Anyone who can help you (sorry, not me) will need info about your system, so give them something to work with, but don't post your serial number.
what else would be useful?
i've uploaded a list of my stuff in system/apps/
RAR archive (or mirror) files of /system/app from 0089_ROW (192.62Mb) may be useful to someone. and separately RAR archive files of MMS from 0089_ROW
No, your system info - model, software level, etc. - and any errors messages you're getting.
In the zip file for the update, unzip it and you'll find an "updater-script" which you can modify with any text editor (wordpad, notepad, etc). Take note of the errors you're getting while trying to install the update. then comment out those checks in the updater-script by adding an "#" in front of that line.
For example, if you update fails because you deleted the email.apk. Go to the line where the updater-script says something like "get-prop assert check ........email.apk" and put an # infront of that line. Zip it all back and flash.
thanks for all the replies guys!
i replaced my missing files thanks to Driver'z. i've seen threads with other people begging for files to no avail, but you've managed to get your hands on it
thanks for the tips everyone
Glad you got it fixed.

This is the first time I've clearly understood how to do this. Thanks for being so clear about the steps to take. :good:
