I`ve got a rooted MB861 and I followed a thread a while ago to install the beta 3 swype.
When I tried to install the Gingerbread OTA, it aborts because of swype.
"assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Swype.apk" ....... ")
E:Error in /cache/Blur_Version.4.1.210.MB861.KT.en.KR.zip
I'm assuming it has to do with my replacing the original Swype apk and lib files with the betas.
Problem also that I no longer have the backup of the originals on my external SD card that burned out a couple of months ago.
Is there a way I can update by bypassing swype during update, or without losing everything?
Am I screwed here?
I'm quite noobish with all of this, so any help would be much appreciated.
I have the same problem....I need the stock Swype.apk and libSwypecore.so for the US Atrix 4.1.83

So I recently rooted my Photon and in all the excitement I uninstalled swype and installed swype 3. Well I didn't back it up like I wanted to so now I lost it. I would like to get it back just in case becuase I am getting FC with swype 3 and I would rather not do a hard reset if I don't have to. So question is anybody on here have the photon themed swype apk file?

Try this. Download the CM5 from Yay's thread in the dev thread. Using 7zip remove everything from the package except the swype apk
I had the same FC issues, and the recommendation in the post above will work like a charm. I grabbed it from the system dump that is posted but CM5 should work just as well.
If you really want Swype 3.+ You can wait for an update which they say is coming soon but we will see lol. Otherwise if you search around you can find a stand-alone version that will install without the swype-installer app and work like a charm. I couldn't figure out the FC issues for the beta and that was the only way I could get Swype 3 to work.
So that you don't loose the original you can put it back in the /system/app/ folder and rename it to swype.bak and you'll still be able to install swype 3. Then if you need the orginial back to return your phone or whatever just uninstall swype 3 and rename that file to swype.apk
that did it thanks alot
Hi there,
I know, there's a couple of discussions about this topic but none of them could actually solve my problem.
I have a rooted Galaxy S2. I used titanium backup to uninstall the Swype version coming with the ROM. Then I cleaned every file containing "swype" from my device with root explorer (also /system/app/swype.apk and /system/lib/libswype*.*).
After that, I downloaded the Swype Installver v2.0 from the swypes beta page. I logged in with my swype account and installed the most current swype version. So far, so good. Everythings fine till this point.
After installing Swype it says "Licensing Swype, please wait..." for hours. I don't get past this point, independent how hard I try.
What's wrong?
Thanks!
OK, solved the problem - finally. The new Swype is awesome!
Hi,
Hope this is the right section and that someone can help. (I have tried searching but no joy!)
I have a Samsung Galaxy ACE (GT-S5830i) which I have rooted but I am still on the stock rom/gingerbread 2.3.6
Today my phone said an update is available, so I connected to WiFi and downloaded the 30.14mb update, the update fails to install and I have now found out from searching that you cannot do a software update OTA once you are rooted, D'oh!!
So I now want to know how do I get rid of the 30mb update that I downloaded from my internal storage?! Can I simply delete it from the appropriate file, if so what is the folder/file called? or is it not as simple that?
If this 30mb update that didn't work cannot be simply deleted using my file manager app, then should I unroot my phone, and then try and update OTA again? and then root my phone once more? Would that work?!
Thanks for your help, this has really annoyed me and in hindsight I wouldn't have bothered to do the software update if I had known rooted phones cant update!!! And its also very frustrating that my internal storage has now got 30mb less space than before because I downloaded this update. I really hope its just a case of finding it and deleting it!
Thanks again,
James
Bump!

Good day guys,
After rooting my phone, I inadvertently deleted some system apps, including chromewithbrowser.apk
Now my phone cannot do OTA updates; it always says installation aborted due to:
assert(apply_patch("/system/app/ChromeWithBrowser.apk",... followed by a bunch of letters and numbers.
From reading thru forums I understand that OTA updates look for the original system files. I tried d/l'ing the update, edited the app files to exclude chromewithbrowser.apk, and tried to manually push the update but unfortunately my phone's recovery is only equipped to handle signed updates.
Am beginning to think that the only way to resolve this is to reflash my phone's stock ROM image...however like a dumbass I did not backup my ROM (i am an idiot, i know)
I tried to manually load a signed chromewithbrowser.apk from a SG Note II, to no avail as well...same error.
Am at my wits' end here... although I think it might just be an update from 4.2 to 4.3, am afraid i won't be able to update to KitKat when the time comes (assuming that Lenovo gets the update as well).
Any help would REALLY be appreciated... thank you!
Yeah mee too i need the stock ROM
