Can I just install 0.4 over 0.8.5 or I need to uninstall 0.8.5 first?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Use the uninstaller and then flash 0.4
Sorry for the inconvenience :/ again![]()
Use the uninstaller and then flash 0.4
Sorry for the inconvenience :/ again![]()
I tried uninstaller but it seems it doesn't work. It gives me an error "failed to update binary..."
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
So it's enough to delete the whole The_thing folder from /data and then instal 0.4 or I need to do something more?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Delete The_Thing folder and the scripts stated in the OP from their respective directories, mainly from init.d
But as the new scripts don't do anything, you could just flash the 0.4 over your existing version and shouldn't experience any problems :good:
I'm so excited about the new version ^^ It'll be amaaazing!
_Bon_Bon I think you need some help! You got script errors everywhere! Need some help?
It seems something wrong with the update-binary. I tried to ues the binary from install.zip to replace it, but failed again.
