I've been following this thread all weekend, and I kept telling myself "don't do it, wait for OTA, too risky"
A few minutes ago I decided screw it, I'm going for it. I did the following:
- Moved all apps from SD back to internal memory (heard there was an issue losing these apps)
- Used Titanium backup to UNfreeze all system apps I had frozen
- Used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to hide root
Now I should be totally stock. So then, I began update using known good procedure:
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe Cache twice
- Reboot into recovery again
- Install update from SDCARD
And.... error 7. Didn't even get the softbrick that was expected, just immediately the error 7. Tried repeating the above 3 more times, same result.
Fortunately though, this meant my GB install was never wiped, so I was able to just reboot and breathe a sigh of relief when my phone came back up normally.
It seems that the update package is VERY picky about it's verification stage... it finds something it doesn't like and aborts. I thought this usually meant missing system apps or finding root installed. But I thought I had all those bases covered.
Yes, I could probably flash back to stock with Matt's utility and do it, but I'm just going to wait for the OTA, like I've been telling myself to do all along.
I'd prefer not to have to reinstall all my stuff.
