I did the OTA update to 2.2 when it came out, and later decided to root and remove bloatware. One of the apps I removed with TiBu was Daily Briefing. Little did I know that I would be unable to restore this app so that I could get the OTA update to ED04. I have tried copying the files to the system/app directory and even setting the r/w/x permissions. I have tried multiple files from various sources and have searched this and many other forums for a choice other than to start over or flash a rom.
Has anyone been able to restore Daily Briefing on Froyo?

to recover from a soft brick, now I'm trying to re-root so I can restore my nandroid backup but no apps are installing. Can't install rom manager, titanium, etc. It immediately says download was unsuccesful with no reasoning. Internet is working fine over wifi. Any suggestions?
I also just disabled wifi and tried it from the mobile network, still no go. I don't know what to do now. Please help!
Also I did not restore any apps yet, and I have tried clearing the cache in a list of several apps I found on another thread having the same issue (including market) which did not work.
I think I've found a way around this by downloading the apps I needed (one click root and ROM manager) onto my droid and copying the .apk files over, so I can get around this problem, but can someone explain to me what I did wrong?
i deleted the 2.2 web via titanium backup because i didn't want it and only want to use skyfire... however, now everytime i try to access my bookmarks in skyfire, it forces close. for some reason, i can see the deleted 2.2 web in TB, but can't restore it... any ideas? i was reading elsewhere (on diff forum) that i need to put the original files into TB and restore... i also have root explorer if i need that. thanks! trying to do this without reflashing bionix =)
program in the dev section called bloater will add all the stock apps you want back on to your phone.
Im trying to do the OTA update to gingerbread on a rooted Droid 2 Global. I have removed a lot of bloatware on there, restored some, but the update is still failing every time. Id rather not flash back to stock as I dont want to lose my contacts, pics, etc... is there a way how I can see what the update is failing on? Or, alternatively, how can I backup all my data and restore it in gingerbread?
Thanks.
Contacts can be sync in using gmail, picture is saved in SD. OTA normally for unrooted phone. You can the titanium backup to backup and restore your Apps.

If you are rooted the OTA update from verizon wont work. You would have to SBF to froyo and then do the update.
You can download pre-rooted SBF files from team black hat that will get you around the problem also. They have an app on the market where you can download them.
Rooted SGS2 (with S2root) on Three network - kernel KI8, PDA KI2, CSC KI2
Backed up Talk 1.3 with titanium backup (not pro), uninstalled, cannot restore. titanium backup just sits on "restoring", even left it for 20 mins, cant even cancel it i have to close with task manager.
3 seemingly related titanium backup files:
com.google.android.talk-20111209-015957.properties
com.google.android.talk-fabd85cd35eb7dca08bec6aea0e6c41e.apk.gz (containing the apk)
com.google.android.talk-20111209-015957.tar.gz - (containing signinginactivity.xml)
com.google.android.talk.apk is still in the system\app folder, though nothing by that name on the titanium backup list, appears as "Talk 1.3" and uninstalled. if i delete the titanium backup files, the uninstalled app name changes to com.google.android.talk and talk 1.3 disappears.
Tried running a copy of talk.apk on the phone, didnt install, tried copying it to system\app and resarting: nothing. didnt show upanywhere as an installed app.
I thought it was something else and I want it back. Whatever changes i do, i still see the gtalk status next to people's names in my contacts/text message list, online/away etc. but no app in the app list. I can't work out what titanium backup did.
I think you should have booted to recovery and wiped cache partition and dalvik cache then rebooted and tried again.I dont think it was a good idea to have deleted the backup files cos the backup you made is most likely gone.You might have to reflash your firmware to get the stock app back you deleted.
hmm
I have a copy of the backup files on my desktop, what can I do with them? And is com.google.Android.talk.apk all there is to it? I have no talk.apk, no talkprovider.apk, no gservices like other people have mentioned.
boot into ClockworkMod recovery and flash

+1 thats the way to go
good call.that should do if your missing everything else.
I really don't think this was a good idea. Like I said before i still saw peoples talk statuses next to my normal contacts, some part of the stock app was still there. Now I get constantly disconnected in the new app and it seems to sign out when I back out of the program. What can I do with my titanium backup files instead? They are in .gz format but cwm flashes zips, I know I can convert just not sure if its the right thing to do.
I've also read that talk is part of the gmail app somewhere
P.s. Sorry for late reply, was getting my head round installing cwm, unrooted with s2 root then changed kernel to cfroot ki8
Or is there at least a way to reinstall the ki8 firmware that kies gave me...and would that even help
just incase
just incase anyone reading wants to know the real answer, it was to reinstall the official firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
then re-root with CF-Root from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
all stock apps are back including talk, all my apps and settings were left untouched.
I stupidly uninstalled Motocast and MotoID using TitaniumBackup pro, when I try to restore them back, TiBu just hangs there.
I have tried turning on USB debugging mode and changing the app processing mode in TiBu to auto/Indirect,but no luck.
I have also tried using Root explorer to put the backed up apk into system/apps folder and install from there.
Here is what TiBu backed up:
-com.motorola.motoconnect.apk and
-com.motorola.blur.provider.motorola.apk
and there are no .odex files backed up.
Could this be why I failed to install the apks through root explorer?
If possible, could someone please upload the stock ROM for 651.73.240.XT910.Rogers.en.CA?
I have searched almost anywhere for days but couldn't find a solution.
Any help is much appreciated!!
Figure anything out? I have same issue with another system app.
I believe one of these will work but dont know all the codes as GSM Roms work for multiple regions.
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
You could put in other regions fast boot
FiLe.. I had a similar problem where I accidentally removed a system file, tibu can't restore it, it just hanged. Installed a fastboot file via rsd, and it worked.. Managed to update via ota.
