How to update to JB using DLPKGFILE and KEEP ROOT! Works!

[rickykemp]

Right, so, through a bit of trial and error using guidance from the forums, this is how I updated to JB and kept root for WW after the update originally failed.

download BOTH files from here (massive thanks to ch3mn3y):

http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/91334594/file.html
http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/96461494/file.html

then extract the .zip file.

download the command file from here (massive thanks to krabappel2548):

http://www.mediafire.com/?yq1bt16mnm7tc8d

extract it.


place the dlpkgfile and command file, both unzipped onto your tab. Use a root explorer to paste the command file into /cache/recovery and the dlpkgfile (the actual file, not the folder) to /cache.

go to Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and temp unroot.

turn off the tab.

boot into recovery with Vol - and power, then when it says to press volume up to boot into RCK, do it.

You'll see the android with the blue wires and it will go through the install process if you have done it right. let it do its thing.

obviously, when it has settled, restore root with Voodoo.

If you get the android with red exclamation mark, i reccomend downloading the ICS zip of your current firmware and SKU and sticking it on a micro SD card, and letting it restore any programmes you've deleted.

Will your last line lose root on us, or will voodoo root keeper save it via that or does it wipe/reset the entire system?

When i ran ran the zip of .30 i did lose root, but it was easily restored using 1 click transformer root.

I tried it twice but it always failed at about 1/3 of the process... Hopefully I can reboot w/ any damage...

WHY!?? :'(

Btw here's the part of the log where it shows the failure in installation:

Btw the command file is just a file with content --update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile in it.
You can create it with notepad, save as .txt, and remove the .txt

I think I found the problem: I remember I pushed jelly bean's music2.apk in system/app! Restored the original music app.
Gonna try update again!
Now it the turn of libGLESv1_CM.so ...

 

[Tequila.CZ]

Going to give it a try.
Just to make sure, is this for WW version, right?

Thanks.

Looking good., but got this error:

E:Error in /cache/dlpkgfile

Already got this before my update notification stopped working.
I deleted Email app, returned it back to system but seems I dont have the right version. (found in someones dropbox posted here)
Also reflashed Ww. 30 hoping this would overwrite the widget with correct version. Obviously it did not...

Would be glad for any help.

As it is MY dlpkgfile it can need MY files. I could upload /system, but first its strange to copy/paste whole android and second it is 624mb and third it will work only for rooted and at least fourth i updated my pad.

If it helps my pad was reflashed to .30 using wolfs method cos i had screen issue.

Could you please try to upload just the EmailWidget?
When I tried using OTA I got an error on Email.apk first. Then I downloaded it from dropbox and it passed. But EmailWidget did unfortunately not.

Also trying to find a tool that could extract the .30blob file. I guess the apps should be there. Found something but probably Linux only so no go for me.

Oh man. I love you. Here I come on JB!
The EmailWidget was the missing piece.

Big thanks to rickykem, ch3mn3y and overyone who helped to create this workaround!

I only have it from JB. Unfortunately it seems the file was updated together with the system so it will most probably be useless.
Don't have a libs backup from WW.30
