OTA: Removed bloatware and can't update.

[Picaso86]

i copied my /system/app folder zipped it for you guys http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7023476/app.7z if you need any apks that are not working try these.

Could you please repost a new link? I need my "bloat" apps so I can install the new OTA :biggrin:

^ any reason why you don't to just "fastboot" and restore the system files? This method is old news.

Fastbooting and restoring does not put bloat back.
This thread itself is old news. People should know what they are doing BEFORE they start butchering the OS and removing bloat.
Removing bloat requires either a backup of those apps so they can be restored or you must flash. A factory reset does not do it.

The best way tho deal is to get a an app that "freezes" the bloat but does not remove it.
Titanium backup is one app. There are others.

Every time there is an OTA there are 100 people asking this same question.
Sheesh......

You might want to quit the whining - it isn't going to matter - people make mistakes...Here's a tip, know what you are talking about first. A fastboot/rsd flash WILL replace all missing components. Shortly after I wrote up an XDA thread helping those with this issue, the fastboot files were relased and this thread was no longer relevant. Your suggestion to use TiBu to freeze apps IS helpful and people SHOULD use that method.

To the guy that needs help: Droid Razr Utility [Windows] *new Thread* - DroidRzr.com Use this - it'll get you what you need...good luck!

"Sheesh......"
