Arrow Full 8.4.4.11 CWR ZIP

I tried to update my rooted TF using a repacked 8.4.4.11 update.zip file (the one with all the patch files in it), but it kept failing on checking of the existing APK hashes. Not sure why, but I got around it by doing a clean install of 8.4.4.5, manually applying the 8.4.4.11 patch, then taking all of the changed (between 8.4.4.5 and .11) files and packing them up in a zip file with an updater-script file.

You should be able to apply this to any US version TF (rooted or stock as long as you have CWR) and bring everything up-to-date without losing root or any of your other install modules, system APKs, etc.

Make sure you back up first, as this is something I quickly threw together and has not been properly vetted. If you find a problem, let me know and I'll try to get it fixed and updated ASAP.

You can also download this ZIP and just take out any APKs you are interested in (the google video apk seems to be popular for example).

Unless I misread this is just an update script and not a full ROM. So this would only work for people on 3.1 though right? You shouldn't flash this from 8.2.X.X for example?

Edit: Thanks this is a great idea, and I was just ready to try this when I saw Prime 1.6 out. Keep it up, I wonder if something like this would work when the 3.2 update comes out.

Looks like so; zip should be run on-top of 8.4.4.5.

This does not have SU in it (or anyhtign else "custom"), but when applied to a ROM that already has SU/busybox/anyhting else in it, those files will be retained.

This is an "update" in the sense that it only contains files changed between 8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.11, so you will need to be coming from 8.4.4.5 (or perhaps anyhtign 3.1, not sure). It is nto really an "update" though, as all of the patch files (blahblahblah.apk.p) and the patch script have been replaced with full 8.4.4.11 version of the files and the script has been udpated to simply copy these over into the appropriate folders on yoru TF.

I see this being most useful for people who have modified their 8.4.4.5 install such that in will no longer be patachable using a script that pataches the existing files.

I just used this to update from 8.4.4.5_US and it seems to have worked just fine! I kept my superuser app, and nothing was touched. My apps, widgets, and settings are all in the right places. I've now got 8.4.4.11! Thank you very much rtadams89!

Thank you for this!! I've been racking my brain trying to get to a rooted 8.4.4.11 with a good CWM recovery and this did it!

thanks.
