[Q] 4.2 update keeps failing (apply_patch_check error)

Trying to update to 4.2 using ADB, but keep getting stuck at this error message
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/GooglePinyinIME.apk
I did freeze GooglepinyinIME along with the Korean keyboard ages ago using titanium backup, but unfroze and restored them before I updated to 4.1.2 ota, so I cannot understand why it's hanging this time?
Any ideas how I can get around this without losing everything?
Am a noob with ADB, so any help would be much appreciated.
Am stock Rom, rooted, and no CWM.
Many thanks.

But why?
Why do we have to have GooglePinyinIME.apk? I don't, nor do I intend to learn, Chinese. As far as I am conserned the apk is just BLOTware. Why does Google need to have it on the Nexus 7 to allow upgrades?

How many Files did you have to replace before it worked?

That's the only file that was missing for me and the instructions worked perfectly.

Thanks...this worked for me. I have no idea why we need this file, but without it, I could not upgrade to 4.2 even though I had re-installed it from the Play Store.

let me know if you get this fixed. I have the same problem with the plusone.apk and replacing it from the howto does not fix it. the checksum from the howto does not match what the update is looking for.

If you have another s5 that you could get your hands on you could copy it, or extract it from the image that's posted such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...rom-stock-root-odex-deodex-knox-free-t2842169
The item is located at /system/app/canid.apk
Make sure when you copy it over to set the proper permissions using a root explorer to rw-r--r-- and then reboot. It should just show up in the app tray.
Hope this helps. :good:

Thanx for answering avsamuel87 and just a question, how can i change the value of the hidden menu?? sorry for bothering

editing /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu needs to be done carefully. An extra space/character will fail the check, as it does not check for a string to contain a value, just checks the entire line. set the contents of that file to 'ON' without the quotes.

You need to try it man, make a backup first of your keyboard before doing this. It works on touchwiz on s4,s5 but no idea on s3 cm based roms.

I just tried installing your apk but it disn't work for me. It said "app not installed". Do you know how I could fix this? (I assume I don't need root)

It needs root... you can't just click and install the apk. You need to copy the apk to system > priv-app and set permissions to both folder and apk and then reboot

Remember it works only on touchwiz roms.. and for other phones it's 50-50 chance to succeed. Good luck. You should had quoted me in your reply may be you wouldn't had to wait for it this long

Use root explorer. Permission is RW R R

its a edit of janjanś rom the lte EU version.
to make it working just format the watch system/data.. and u will need to restore the included vendor "firmware" from the twrp backup
anyways i did mention in the post its for EU .. im sure you can unbrick it with fastboot the backup does not include any bootloader changes

Getting further by dowloading a superuser and installing it as a zip via twrp, but exacly when in the process i should use the commands so the watch wont update?
adb shell , su
pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService && su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService
