New bionic update....finally!

[kjumper187]

I got my update last week. Wasn't a member of the soak test. Also, anyone else notice they got a few extra bloatware apps? Sling box, some music app, and emergency alerts?

Yeah, also Amazon MP3 and MOG Music. Froze all of it except the Emergency Alerts. And turned off Amber Alerts.

I got the update while rooted and kept root after it successfully completed OTA. I've noticed at least for me a huge battery life improvement. I'm curious as to what you guys are experiencing with the new update.

Got .902 this morning (02/12/2012) after going through Update query. No problems encountered yet.

Here it is:

Thanks for the download link! I downloaded it, rebooted to stock recovery and then ran the Update ZIP. It failed, mentioning an issue with SmartCarDock.apk. It was then I remembered that I deleted this app, rather than freezing it. That's the only thing I deleted, so is there anywhere I cna find that. And no, I don;t have a Nandroid backup, begin the flame.

I appreciate all your help, and I apologize for being a PITA, but I don't see the system/app folder anywhere n G: (Internal Storage).

Np lol. You must be rooted to have deleted this file to begin with. What file app are you using to view files?

Windows 7, with my phone plugged in through USB in USB Mass Storage mode. I also tried with the "Files" app, no go. I'm installing Astro now, and will try that as well.

Ok, I found the system/app folder using Astro. When trying to move the two SmartDock files from my SD-EXT to the system/app folder, I get a "Read Only File System" error.

Ok, you dont need to be connected to your pc once you have downloaded them to your phones download folder found in app drawer or sd card. You can use ur pc to move files back n forth but viewing your system root requires an app like Root Explorer to do so.

Once you open your root explorer app, select mount r/o at top of screen. Copy/move your file, goto the system folder then app folder where the apps are held. You can then paste/move file to system/app folder. You want to check permissions of copied file also before you back out by long pressing the file and selecting Permissions. They should be checked off as follows:
Owner - read, write
Group - read
Others - read

See if this works for you.

This worked perfectly, except I mounted R/W after opening Root Explorer, which makes sense. Thank you so much for your help! :icon_ lala:

I did lose root, so I'll have to check out the 902 Root Thread.
