The stock screensaver app, which is just the ~6 minute promotional video for the Note 10.1, is 69.82 MB -- no harm is scrapping that too, right?

Can you explain how such a thing could cause such a failure?
Its looking to update something that isn't there. When it doesn't find it, the update doesn't know what to do, so it fails.

He is correct about this. If you delete or remove anything system wise make sure you have a back up copy. Come time for an update and that file is not there, it will most likely fail. Make sure you take note of the file permissions also.

This was really simple to delete but what a mistake as I actually want to run it from time to time. If no one can give me a way to download it I will be forced to reset my device as new.
I don't really want to do this but I will if necessary. Live and learn.
SYSTEM Updates do not look after apps present BUT ONLY THE DEVICE SPECIFIC SERIAL NUMBER AND VERSION NUMBER !
System updates do NOT look after specific apps to be present or not.
After major complete updates all system apps disabled are reinstalled and have to be deactivated again .

Hard (factory) reset won't bring any files back. An update however, or a reflash of original ROM will do the trick.
To all saying that removing system files will fail OTA: Stop posting stuff you know nothing about. It's better to shut up rather than guessing.

So if I hit reset and wipe everything it won't restore the tablet like it was when I got it out of the box? You're kidding right! Every other tablet / phone I've ever owned will do so.
I guess I'll just have to back up some data to test this out.

This has been a proven case with the transformer series. So I would say we know nothing about. We are just stating that it could. I don't believe anyone stated that it would for sure.

Had the same thing happen with the rezound. If the bloatware was removed it failed to update. If it didn't have the stock recovery it failed to update. Again differences between OEMs as has been stated with Asus having done the something.

Deleting the screensaver app should not cause the ota to fail. Otherwise Samsung wouldn't allow that action to be performed so easily without root. Put it this way... if you can go into manage apps and click uninstall chances are it's not system critical.

The number of posts that I am seeing with "I modified my A500 and now the ICS update won't apply or my tablet won't boot" seem to be increasing.
How reasonable is it to expect that Acer should make assumptions about exactly what is on the tablet before running the OTA installation?
Surely, if you change any of the checksums on either the internal file systems or the boot loaders, then you are asking for the scripts to fail and for something to break...
Can you ever return a tablet that has been modified back to EXACTLY a factory default state?
Caveat Emptor...
Because there are a lot of incredibly stupid people out there, that's why.

Because 95% of people that, just for example, "root", don't know what they're doing. All they know is that it allows them to uninstall 'bloat', install tools they wouldn't normally be able to run without it, replace files and tamper with code and file content as advised by their peers to get this and that working 'better'. They follow directions to the T, use one click tools or get entire modified OSs and proceed to tinker and tamper with software they don't really understand. When the poop hits the fan, somehow the blame shifts off them completely to Acer and just about anyone else.

I agree with you on most of that, but you gotta remember that we all started somewhere and the best way to learn is by getting right into it and tinkering, I do agree that most people don't understand what they're getting into and simply refuse to learn when someone tries to correct them.

I sure hope so cos I'm getting frustrated each day the update refuses to arrive. To be honest, I think I'm done with Android tablets. Android tablets are meant for mods/hackers. OSs/tablets by Apple,RIM and Microsoft are meant for guys like me who don't want to tweak or install ROMs. When updates are released by these guys,owners of their devices definitely get them without all these hassles.
My next OS will be Windows 8. That OS I'm very familiar with

It was explained on Acer ANZ facebook page last year, cannot recall when, it was either with the release of 3.1 or 3.2, that the updates are done by the batch numbers set by google, not acer. the updates are hosted on futuredial so when it gets hammered it's not even acer servers to which i doubt they have any.
It seemes Acer has updated their Acer Update Enhancement app in the Google Play Store. It's supposed to help those who still haven't got the ICS update. Try it out and see if that helps?

No, because then who are the dumb a$$es going to blame and bug if it does not work, or breaks something.
Not a smart idea for a dev to post something that they are not sure of, and possibly have people lose faith in that developer. I know as a dev I would not post ANYTHING, that I was not sure if it worked or not. Even if I did it on a test unit, and not a retail phone.

Unless you're going to install a custom ROM, it's not as important anymore to root these phones.
The SIII lets you uninstall [disable] almost any stock app you want.
After disabling a ****-load of stock apps, I am getting awesome battery & performance from my S III.
I'd like to see some theming and custom ROM's and overclocking though of course.

Eh, that's debateable. In the end it boils down to what you want to do with the device. For me? I want root so I can reinstall Cerberus to the System folder so even if someone wipes my phone, I can still track it. Can't do that without root.

Yea, this is actually the first AT&T Smartphone where I haven't cursed them out for the amount of bloatware installed. Granted I did immediately load Apex Launcher to tide me over until I can install CM9. I hate how touchwiz looks, but that's not AT&T, that's Samsung. This thing honestly speeds along, especially with websites. I'm also apparently in an LTE test area.....with a piss poor signal I was pulling about a 20mbit download and 13 mbit upload. I have to say, it's faster and more responsive than my GSII with CM9. That's impressive considering it is running TW.
Also from looking at his posts he did order it....so he could be using the GNex until he can. Though this pretty much is the GNex....just not running stock Android.

Seriously, you've never heard of Skydrive?
App settings and data can't be backed up to SkyDrive unless the app itself implemented that feature. Nearly three years since release and MS still hasn't implemented this basic functionality. It's kind of atrocious and makes hard resets / phone wipes from flashing much worse than they would otherwise be.
does this update remove lock from 810 tmobile?
Lock is intact, does full wipe, settings stored by SkyDrive are restored on login to ms. Update goes smooth enough and call block works as well as the storage check app.

The commands are in a spoiler box on the second post of the root thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62028523&postcount=2
I'm rooted on the US Cellular US991 10c. After a few hours of installing apps, killing bloatware, tweaking the ui, and setting my dpi to 540 I'm also enjoying better battery life and, for some reason, I'm not heating up nearly as much as before I root. Loving it.
Got a chance to get it done. Easy peasy. WOOHOO. Thanks again to all.
Sent while swerving from my LGG4
Edit to add:
I really liked doing it this way more than the others I have done. So nice not having to re setup the entire phone after.
Sorry to raise a dead thread but any root for the newest update?

If you're referring to MM Update 20C, then not yet. And I am subscribed here for a reason. I have the same reason, and damned if I will settle with "Sorry no root for you". I have been exploring other options with someone else.

What is the last version that still can get root?
I'm on MM 20a.
I believe it's 10D that can still get root.
The problem got its own thread so i will post it link instead of rewriting it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/help/lollipop-5-1-1-upgrade-ram-sm-g800h-ds-t3225658
Now for the fix
Go to the phone app and type *#9900#
Change debug mod to high
The device will reboot and when it boots up the lost 330mb will back
Thats all
Thanks..it worked.
If you don't mind, shall I ask, what this setting actually does?
Was this part of RAM intentionally blocked by Samsung?

Yeah they blocked it on lollipop thinking that it will improve the performance in exchange of multitasking but it didnt achieved any of theme i dont know why didnt they disabled it before lunching the update :\
But is supposed to be 1.5G of RAM, why is just 330 mb not 500 mb?

I actually think Samsung does that with every update to artificially age the device to push sales of newer devices.
Though it might as well be part of internal testing at Samsung that was forgotten. Only time and future updates will tell.
Conspiracy theories aside, thank you very much for the trick. Really helpful. Does debug mode use more battery though? I would imagine the system log going crazy with this option.

173mb is used for the system so the device still responsive even if the ram is full

And the performance? Is the update any good considering we're still waiting for it?

Its good and very nice looking alot of improvement especially the finger scanner but the multitasking of the kitkat is better
still you can improve that with some tweaking check my post (unleash the power of galaxy s5 mini ) on the themes and apps section
also ive made a fast review of the rom on YouTube in case you're interested

Not for me .-.
Maybe you have an app that causing this i have rebooted my device more than 10 times in the past two days and its still 1.3gb
@sasukesama
Thanks for your relentless efforts in supporting our less popular G800H. I have been testing this fix from the day you posted it and I feel that the phone has become more responsive and fast. Free RAM is close to 500 always and there is no impact on the battery drain as well. Keep up your good work. I also noticed that setting Debug Level to Mid also restores RAM.

You are welcome

I have a question... Does a sim need to be in for the dialer code to work? When I dial #9900# and hit call I get a "Not registered on network" pop-up. I may have uninstalled something I shouldn't have debloating this morning...

Its *#9900# not #9900# and you dont have to dial
when you type the last # a pop up window will show with lots of stuff
go to debug and change it to high
Thank you very much, @sasukesama. May be time to get my eyes checked. That got it!
