i personally had verification problems during the patch so i replaced all deleated apks,odexes and build.prop and it worked fine
directions:
1.root your phone. and voodoo rootkeep it.
2.install root explorer.
3.copy the needed files to your sd card(apk, odex)
4.navigate to /system/app with root explorer
5.change the folder to rw from ro
6.copy the odex and apk from your sdcard to /system/app
8.change the folder back to ro
7.change permissions of the odexs and apks to rw-r-r
9.copy build.prop to /system/ with root explorer
10.change permissions to rw-r-r
11.reboot and flash the update
bty im rooted and the update worked fine i used voodoo rootkeeper as well
As you said earlier the D4 can be finicky. With help from people here I just could not get safestrap to install, but after the update I was able to install it using the D4 utility.
Problem is that i only rooted the phone and kept it stock. I did nothing els. Up until i tried to unroot the phone. Yes i got the latest d4 utility. I dont have a root keeper. Where can i download?
