You'll have to restore the bloatware you remove in order to update successfully. What method did you use to remove?

What apps did you get rid of? If you got rid of apps like city id then you will have to restore them before you can update.

Don't bring it to Verizon. They wont help you much since you rooted the phone. Did you use titanium to back up the apps before you removed them? Also did you remove them or freeze them?

Ok then what I think you're going to have to do is figure out which apps you removed, get the apks and use an app like root explorer to place them back in the system/apps

Theres a list stickied at the top of the d2 hacks section. I think the bloat is the same for both phones.

I was able to finally Update my D2G thanks to all you who offered me help and suggestions.

Everything i did came from reading this baord and all credits go to you all.

Here is what I did. I got a D2G dump from this board and compare it's entire list to my phone /system/app folder and moved all thats missing. Had to do it twice because the first time, i missed Genie*.apk

Its a long list of files and trust me, i went thru it all one by one TWICE and finally got all the nexesary files replaced by moving the necessary files into my phone.

The only trouble i ran into was installing Yahoo contacts but it didnt matter, my phone updated.


THANKS AGAIN!

I don't post to forums like this that often. So I thought I would offer this up.

I wondered as I was reading this, what if I am interested in flashing this phone with something like Fission. Would I need to bother with the trouble of restoring apks to do the OTA?
