[Q] /system/etc/gps.conf issue when trying to update to KitKat

[jaredmorgs]

I'm on JSS15R, and I am trying to apply the OTA Zip floating around using TWRP.

I'm getting a very frustrating message:

Verifying current system...
"/system/etc/gps.conf" has unexpected contents.
E:Error executing updated binary in zip '{zipname}'

I then tried to get a factory binary to get the stock gps.conf file, but it is proving difficult for me.

Because I also accidentally wiped my data in the process (I was rushing and fracked it up - grrrr), would it be easier to flash the factory JSS15R binary zip from google, and then load on the OTA update Zip?

I'm not sure if I just replace the gps.conf file that the next file the OTA zip installer finds will get me back to the same position I am in now.

Any help would be appreciated.

This happened to me since I made changes to system apps and installed DSP manager. Only fix is to restore the files you have changed one by one or just flash the factory image without wiping user data. Instructions on how to do that is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377307

Since you wiped your data, you may as well restore the factory JSS15R image from google and adb sideload the ota update.

I decided to install scrosler's Stock 4.4 ROM, which now has the update applied. It's working great.

Thanks for the advice either way. Would love to know why gps.conf was blocking the update.
