[Q] Cannot update OTA 3.5 and other issues

Hello everyone,
Although OTA 3.5 has been out for ages, my TPT still cannot apply the update. I'm at 0126_WE (which is OTA 3.0 I believe), rooted and CWM Both OTA and manual update failed, giving "signature verification failed" error and followed by assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/lib/libbcc.so",...). I experienced quite a similar issue when updating to ICS from Honeycomb so I attempted this to get rid of potentially redundant "assert failed" errors:
1. Download the WE OTA3 and copy the updater-script to a directory (aka folder) in /mnt/sdcard after extracting.
2. Execute the following in the same directory;
grep apply_patch_check updater-script | grep -v EMMC | cut -f1 -d, | cut -f2 -d'"' > pchk
3. Execute the following in the same directory;
wc -l pchk
The output should be;
450 pchk
This indicates that the updater-script is checking 450 files.
4. Execute the following in the same directory;
ls $(cat pchk) | grep ^ls

Click to collapse
However, grep and cut could not be executed as the terminal returned "applet not found" even though busybox was already installed.
Also, Photoshop Touch hasn't been working properly ever since I'm on ICS. If I enable opacity control for brush strokes, it crashed soon then. Size control worked fine though. Anybody experiences this? My guess is that there is some sort of issue in regard to OTA 3.0 itself, so I want to give OTA 3.5 a try.
Thanks for any help

Oh never mind, I sorted it out
just need to disable apply_patch_check in updater-script and it's done. PS Touch is also back to normal. TPT rocks :victory:

[Q] ADB Sideload Installation Aborted?

I have a rooted Nexus 7. I've tried ADB sideload but installation keeps aborting after saying verifying update package.
No file_contextsVerifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/Currents.apk". "69bced37867643fa6c93cab900247c32c14cc47", "e6b6f619c7c388550701e8a7a52e7ef0d18be472")
It seems to have to do something with Currents.apk but what? I put the apk in system/apps and updated to the latest version from the Play Store.
How do I fix this?

Hi All,
I am trying to root my LG G2 D802 (KitKat 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0) by using IOroot. I am getting the error:
Mounting system RW and pushing SU, then remounting system RO again
mount: Operation not permitted
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/xbin/su': Read-only file system
Unable to open /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory

Installing superuser
4371 KB/s (1468798 bytes in 0.328s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
Success
In addition I checked and the phone seems to be rooted (with a couple of apps).
1. Why am I getting these errors?
2. I tried to install twrp and it seems its installed, however I am not able to backup, I am getting a message its cannot mount system, data, etc..
Any ideas? Thanks

Use towelroot
just install towelroot from towelroot.com by clicking on the 'lambda' sign there. one finished, install it and click on the 'root' or 'let it rain' button. you will be definitely successfull in rooting your device. towelroot has never disappointed me ever. hit the thanks button if it helped. *wink*

Help Rooting D805 4.4.2

Im all out of options, I have no idea what else to do. Here is what I've tried:
1. Used the ioroot but it shows device not found right after it reboots into recovery mode but no error shows up .
2.Tried an older version of ioroot but this came up:
Mounting system RW and pushing SU, then remounting system RO again
mount: Operation not permitted
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/xbin/su': Read-only file system
Unable to open /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Unable to open /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
mount: Operation not permitted
3. Tried TowelRoot but shows that my device is not supported.
I have no idea what else should I do now :/ Any help is appreciated.
PS: I cant use the newer version of ioroot now, it just shut down by itself when I press any key to start it.
EDIT: Ok I had to manually use CMD to install it.
