I have a rooted samsung fascinate, with stock rom/kernal..
Anywho I was playin around with installing some apps and I wanted to install the free version of Printershare, but instead of getting it from the market I used an APK file to install it from my sd card. Well the file appears to have been corrupted, so I attempted to uninstall it through root explorer, as well as remove all traces of the program. When I went to reinstall the program from the APP market, I now get the error "Installation Failed.. Update Incompatible." I searched around to figure out what that meant and in the process I noticed that the com.dynamixsoftware.printershare package was still listed in my manage apps section, but I am not able to uninstall it from there. I searched for it in root explorer but like I said I deleted all traces of printershare before so i didnt find it there. If anybody can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!! THX!
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong section I'm new to XDA
What version and base band are you running? It may be overkill but you could just odin a stock rooted rom..since thats what you have now it will overwrite all your user data but it should completely get rid if those lingering files

Usually when you delete Apps, you should reboot your phone before attempting to reinstall.

Do you have CWR if so boot into recovery, wipe dalvic, wipe cache, reboot. Should fix it.
Thanks for the help but..
Thanks for the help folks..
I went into CWM and deleted the dalvik and the cache which didn't help, I still get the "incompatible update" error.. even though it now tells me in the market that Printershare is not installed yet?
I supposed I may have to Odin a stock rom even though I'm not sure about that yet.. If I did id probably just make the jump to a custom rom. But If anybody else has any suggestions or ideas before I go into odin with a new rom, It would be greatly appreciated.
You are going to have the same problem with any Ron till you Odin. You shouldn't be afraid of Odin, I found on a sanding forum that Odin came from sanding, it is their program for loading android onto their phones, I would post the link but I don't remember exactly where I found that at. If you need help with Odin or files look in the general section for the fascinate, I posted a very easy to follow walk-through with all files you will need.

So I was forced to update by Tmobile. I could postpone forever but always have that icon in the taskbar. I decided to update. After updating I can no longer apply One Click Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300 or get root after applying SGH-959 Root Update.zip. This is strange and have tried several times with both of these.
Is there a manual way of getting root? Or am I the only one with this problem.
I have the JI6 update, and I just rooted it not like 15 minutes ago without a problem downloading the root file to my phone and renameing it to update.zip, moving it to root of sdcard, and reinstalling packages through recovery.
Same thing here. Just can't get it to root. I will try reinstalling the update again I guess. Just wanted to see if anyone else was having this same issue.
Worked for me too
Using the SDK I used ADB RESTART RECOVERY, selecting the reinstall packages installed the update.zip and installed the root.
Wow another thread started because someone is too lazy to look up the solution themselves, wish we were all spoon fed answers, instead of having to put two and two together....

In the general sticky I laid out the steps I took to root after flashing ji6. Check there.
I have Ji6 installed with everything stock. The SD card dir is now /sd and when I'm in recovery it can't find the file because it's looking in /sdcard . Have not seen anything regarding this in the sticky or anywhere else. Did I miss it? Any workarounds?
Used OCLF from Market. Worked!
Moved to Q&A & Closed.
Search before starting a new thread next time...!
I used SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
And it worked for rooting my TELUS Fasinate with the JL3 Froyo leak! Worked like a charm! Thanks to CLShortFuse!
Gonna try right now...wish me luck!
EDIT! WORKS!!!! I HAVE SU!! Didn't do anything exect follow the steps on the video! Click start and your phone will be rooted!
I wonder if we need to install busybox? I'll search the one-click thread and see if we need it.
Hmmm...Dave are you having any problems with root access? I installed rom manager and clockwork, but it won't boot into custom recovery, it says "signature verification failed", so no clockwork, also, I have root explorer, and I moved a bunch of bloat to a junk folder on the internal sd card, but they are still in the system/app folder! Even if i choose delete, root explorer will delete the app but as soon as you refresh the folder they are still there...
EDIT: Figured out ROOT EXPLORER problem, just had to close and restart ROOT EXPLORER, and now my bloat is moved to a junk folder in the sd card!! ALso I was able to disable the stupid boot and shutdown sounds!

It's nothing to do with the Root. Froyo requires a signed .zip or it won't install. We need the stock kernel modded!
I was wondering if it's possible when we have the stock kernel to flash the CM one, install CWR, then flash the stock one back. Would that keep root and CWR working?

I don't think that would work, the stock kernel once flashed overtop of the modded kernel would reset the setting back to "no unsigned zips" so then CWR would not work, well technically it works but we can't get there.
We simply (well, on second thought, maybe not so simply) need to mod the stock kernel, then we can have a custom recovery and even maybe OC/UV with set CPU (if someone can mod the stock kernel) Thanks again Dave, 2.2 is working great, and with root access now I have no bloat, no stupid boot sounds, and the phone fast and stable and also looks great with Launcher pro and beautiful widgets.
My Desire is going on ebay pretty soon...
PS - the genie widget that would FC was for 2.1, I found a genie widget that was for 2.2 and works great.
This is awesome! Adfree working now with the full javascript capabilities of froyo, very, very nice work everyone! I had a few issues at first because I was messing around with other various root methods. After a fresh flash of stock 2.2 thru odin, and rooting first thing using one-click method above, fixed all my issues. I noticed crazy keyboard lag after rooting but a quick reset of the device fixed that. Finally this device is at the level I had in mind when I bought it! We just need to oc/uv the stock kernel now and judging by the uv capabilities in other galaxy s handsets I think we have ourselves a winner!!!!!!
I'm still learning so this might be a dumb question.....
I've read a few how tos on signing the update.zip. can't I just take the file cwr makes and sign it?

Hell it's worth a shot, right? Be careful, it would seem nothing really bad can happen, but even if it does, you have the files to flash back to stock anyways.
So i have a galaxy S I9000 and im not very hi tek...i rooted my phone so i could download gameboy games and i may have also got an app to delete stock android apps...accidently deleted the stock internet app and now i have no internet....i have tried a factory reset and a hard reset...formatted the internal memory and cleared cache and may have threw the phone at the wall...(china made phone cases cost so little but really do help the average angry person)....im willing to try anything short of sending my phone away to get it fixed or running it over and claiming a new one on insurence...can someone please help
Why don't you just go to the market and download an internet app?

As the previous poster said, you can just download another browser app from the market. Your phone does not depend on the browser app for a data connection. If for some reason you can't do that:
Check the I9k forums and find a CWM flashable, stock ROM. Download it, use 7zip or winrar (or any other windows archive program- google search 7zip, its free to download) and open the ROM file. Go to: system/app. Find browser.apk and extract it to your desktop. Use adb to install it: adb push /system/app/browser.apk and you should be all set.
thanks for that did kinda help...is there anyway i can just remove everything on the phone and re install everything....kinda like re-booting with all the preloaded samsung apps...regardless if i deleted some or not?

No, not really. You would need to reflash the stock system image. Factory resets just wipe user settings, app data, and other stuff like that. It won't restore anything. If you want to do a reinstall, look into using Odin to flash back to stock. Just BE CAREFUL. Odin can brick you if you don't know what you're doing. Better off following the steps I outlined, or installing CWM and flashing a stock ROM. Again, the safest way to do what you want is what I previously posted.
if i updated through kies not a month or 2 ago and im using an australian SGS GT I9K 16BG with optus what would i be running (eg...gingerbread, Eclair, Kernal, Froyo)?
just get an market apk file n install

ok i have fixed everything with odin...i followed it word for word and was really simple 2 downloads and 5 mins and im now on 2.3 gingerbread with all stock apps....used pathikshah .com/blog/install-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-samsung-galaxy-s/
The problem started when after I flashed the recovery with Odin. When I booted into the recovery and tried to install the superuser zip file I keep getting this message: "E:cant copy META-INF/google/android/update-binary". I get this message when I try to flash a Rom: "E:Can't open /sdcard/update-unamed-1.3.1-full.zip". I've been trying to flash the CM7 nightlies and the "Unamed" Rom. Any help with this will be much appreciated.
Also, I ended up having to install superuser via SuperOneClick
Honestly, I stopped trying after the phone kept confusing me with SD Card, External Card, and Internal Card/External SD Card BS it was giving me.
I just left my phone rooted, lol.
Sometimes, this tends to happen if you rooted your phone with an anti-virus software running on your PC which can hinder the rooting process. (always the case with my HTC Inspire 4G). So turning it off could allow you to re-download Odin, and run the program again to root it again so it can install the proper files.
Once you get it re-rooted, get into CWM, do a backup, and Clear your Cache, Data and reinstall the ROM from your Internal Card or External Card (which ever you used to place the ROM in).
Good luck.

CWM and root are not even related....
root is root access to your OS /system and its functions. it has nothing to do with RECOVERY or anything outside of a RUNNING OS. i wish everyone would understand that.
as long as CWM is there, AND WORKING PROPERLY, rooting has nothing to do with it. you can flash a new rom from bone stock OS, as long as you have the CWM kernel.
@OP, you have these files (roms) located on the INTERNAL SD right?
I think that's why @homescrub said:
"and run the program again to root it again so it can install the proper files."
Proper files being cwm. As of yet I don't know of a way to install cwm without root on this phone. I know the captivate previously allowed an update to be flashed using stock recovery to get cwm.

Are you clearing your cache before trying to flash zip from sd card? I know I got a similar problem when I didn't clear cache.

how do you flash CWM?
through ODIN
that does NOT require root. you dont flash it via ROM manager....so whats the need for root to add CWM?
and what is this 'proper files' crap? you either have CWM or you dont, its not half-assed
nah its cool. im done here. i will let the misinformation fly. let the noobs run in circles. this website is going to **** so fast these days.
No man ....you should help these guys....just lighten up...and I apologize for coming off like that.....and one place I CAN understand is seeing what's going on in the forums....it is chaos sometimes.....I am just tired of seeing noobs who need help get ripped up.....just as much as I am tired seeing noobs posting +1 and Great Job, in the Dev forums. I just think this is the place to help them get a good understanding so there is not another new thread with this same question.

Thanks this really helped!! Lol I can't believe I forgot to do something like this lol I Odined back to FULL stock, flashed the zedomax kernal with root, wiped data and cache, flashed the rom now all is well
Come on guys, you are both better than this. Shake hands, help the OP, and lets make xda a better place..
See the pics attached:
I use this method

2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Select update from sdcard, select the file upd_1.zip
5) After the update completed - reboot
6) Now you have rooted S5830
"
before rooting, I've done this———“How to force install apps to SD card without ROOT!!!”, does this affect my rooting?
Try to mount/system and data then flash again.
tried, still can't. thx anyway.
Problem solved!!
I find this article "How to root Samsung Galaxy Ace on Froyo & Gingerbread
"acetips.wordpress.com/2011/09/29/root-ace-froyo-gingerbread/"
I follow the note:
"Those who are getting errors and cant root their phone , Download this file “AceGingerRoot.zip” and use it instead of “upd_1.zip”"
download the file “AceGingerRoot.zip".
and successfull!!!!
I don't know why, but again, it's successful!
I'm sorry, I thought my problem solved.
coz I saw the update completed and the superuser icon in the app drawer.
But when I try to open Titanium Backup, it says my ROM is not rooted.
Still need help!
and my phone is locked to my carrier,
does it affect the rooting?
really need help!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so frustrated!!!
Lol. I had the exact same problem! Are you intending to install cm7? Whatever I did that update pack would not root for me... I ended up flashing clockwork mod ace, a recovery just for the ace. I've heard that the regular ROM Manager can brick this phone. Then installed cm7 without having the root permission in Gingerbread. You can do it just by placing the Rom on the SD and using the install zip from sd option. You will want to make a backup before you do this. Also check if you can find your providers APN values online for setting up mobile data. Worked for me. Do I like cm7? It is good, very customizable. However, do not expect something as polished as the firmware without a bit of effort to figure out the options.

And no, being locked to a carrier does not affect rooting your phone.

you can try CF-root
You should also have a look at the topic on this forum "(Q) GTS5830B root?" I think it may be applicable to you. Some stuff about changing the script in the update.zip pack to match the model of your Ace.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA Premium App
yes, I got the problem exactly same as this thread""(Q) GTS5830B root?" " but I don't understand how to solve it using the method mentioned in that thread.
Actually, I'm not only just a noob, also, ace is my first smartphone.
I tried to figure out all the new words, apps, systems I had to use to get my Ace to customize as my wish.
I'll managed to solve my problem by figuring out the approach that thread mentioned. If I can't, I'll probably try CM7(another new thing to learn).
Thank you for your hint, at least now, I saw the hope out there.
I've tried these 2:
1. edit "updater-script" by changing "GT-S5830" to "GT-S5830T"(my model number), it doesn't work, aborted.
2. delete the "assert", it worked, update completed.
But,
Still,
when I try to open titanium or root uninstaller,
they all say "it is not rooted" after updating was successful.
I just don't get it. WHY?????
I tried to unroot, coz I thought maybe I can get rid of the useless superuser app got from updating "“AceGingerRoot.zip” ", and then I will give modified "update.zip" another try.
However, it's so funny that the superuser app is still there after updating unroot.zip successfully(at least that's what the screen says).
Can I recovery to the stock state by using the recovery mode? so I can get rid of all these stuff and start again!
Okay, you have EXACTLY the same problem I did. You could try SuperOnceClick. It never worked for me, but it might be worth a try before giving up. There is a good Tutorial on it here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
When that didn't work I just installed CyanogenMod-7.1-RC1Cooper-Grif_07 and moved on with my life. You can get it to look just like Gingerbread, but you will loose all your Samsung stuff, and your GPS might not be able to get a fix. Sorry...

Yes, if you made a back-up before you started. It is really easy, it just takes a few min... Without a backup you would need to download the original firmware.

I've heard cannot get backup by using clockwork recovery if it's not rooted. Am I wrong about it?
and I thought SuperOnceClick is for Froyo and not for ACE?
When I installed I was so MAD that I was ready to smash the phone, so honestly I never backed up before installing CM7. You can go ahead and try. The worst that can happen is nothing. If you're flashing CM7 and you absolutely hate it you can always reset back to the factory ROM by downloading and installing it.
