Hey everybody,
I apologize in advance if this post is a duplicate but I have tried searching for a solution and still lost. Here is what I did: I used the Odin to restore stock rom, then re-rooted using the one click method, then downloaded a rom from theunlockr.com, then used rommanger to install it. My rom has gave me no problems but now when I try to reboot into recovery to install something else(Like the 2.3 keyboard or a lagfix) i get this error:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted
Can someone please help me? Thank you, BTW I have a Samsung Vibrant running axura-froyo-rom
I had the same problem too.
When I put update.zip at the root directory of internal memory... once I restart the phone (not get into the recovery mode), this file is missing / dissapear. So... I always got this message too :
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted
anybody can help us pleaseeeeee
I got my phone to factory settings using odin then i rerooted my phone and flashed the same custom rom back on and it worked. Try reflashing your phone, backup first, might work.

thanks for reply.
how to use factory setting using odin ? tick the "re-partition" box ?
can you explain to us step by step please ?
I'm so frustated
Did you guys delete the update.zip after rooting?
If you do not see
sdcard/update.zip using a file manager, download the update.zip from my noob guide, move it to internal memory and then try to flash CWR.
Also, look in the bottom of the noob guide (last few posts) for a solution to a RECENT issue with CWR... I assume whatever Koush did in the last update is causing this problem? BUT, there is a fix posted by another XDA user... just a matte of downloading the file and putting it in the right place.

listen to s15's post....he knows what he is talking about. i followed his noob guide in his sticky and everythign worked perfectly! his vids are also very helpful. one thing i have found that works a lot as well is if you download ROM Manager from the market and then click on "fix permissions"... don't know if this would help in this situation but i have had that fix weird stuff.

yeah this, the update.zip is ESSENTIAL for your phone to run the clockwork recovery, it stores all the things needed, and when you click "reinstall packages" your system goes in update.zip and looks for what to boot up and finds CWR and boots that so you see that screen.
Don't delete it if you did.
i have tried numerous times to root,but cant seem to get update.zip file in right place,can anyone help? thanks. challenged noob!!

When you usb into your phone it needs to be in the initial area of your sdcard.
You might have a bad update.zip file. Two things, verify the md5(if possible) from where you got it and check the properties and make sure it's not names update.zip.zip. The later is very common.
Try this method too btw, when I Odin back to stock I always use this one to root again. Follow the 'Automated Method' area.

you will need these drivers AND set your phone to debugging mode (settings/applications/development check USB debugging).

hey all,
Newbie here trying to flash a ROM, i am running into this same error, i have tried everything here and i have one question (might be a stupid question) but my root sd folder is called SD/, not SDCard/ ...is this a path error?
Please note it file must be in the internal card, not the SD card.
This step drove me nuts.
"2. Copy the update.zip (and the ROM) to the INTERNAL SD (not the external SD Card). sdcard/ " (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732458)
i ran into the same problem...how do i get from 3e to CWR?
here's what's shown in my vibrant directory: Android, DCIM, external_sd, LOST.DIR
i dont have an internal sd (the card) so it's not shown?
the path i got error on: /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip
1. when i tried to "reinstall packages" i keep getting the error that the update.zip file cant be found. should i create a folder for it or something? i think it's a matter of pathing but i cant find out the right place to put the file...(to get from 3e to CWR)
2. i see people suggesting boot with odin or sth like that...does that solve my problem and how do i do that?

You definitely have an internal sd card. Use Astro file manager or something similar and put update.zip on the root of internal sd card, meaning not in a folder. It should look like sdcard/update.zip. If you are having the 3e mismatch recovery issue read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423

i go to the link that you linked and ran the script. then i download the update.zip file at the noob guide with a slimbean 4.2.2 rom and addons. this time i would just put it in the root folder (technically not in any folder). when i try to reinstall packages, the screen shows that it is "replacing stock recovery with clock work recovery"... but then it would go back to the 3e.
so...i guess putting the files in the root folder is correct. but someone it still wont let me get tot CWR...

You have to reinstall packages twice for it to work properly. It is normal to not work the first time, just reinstall packages again and you should be good to go. If you keep having issues you should just flash back to stock 2.1 with Odin and go from there.

this thread is open to help newbies to install the 2.1 custom rom with the simples way..
you also can discuss any problem here..
dont mess the dev thread with a dumb question...
thanks to "Perceval from Hyrule" for the original tutorial..
this is revise version for 2.1
INSTALLATION FOR 2.1 AOSP
Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!
Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)​
1st step:
make sure your computer is adb debugging ready..
in case in need for command execution..
- Download Android SDK
You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).
2nd step:
- On x10 :
Enable USB debugging (Setting > Applications > Development).
Root your device. easiest way by using z4root.
Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".
3rd step:
install xrecovery for recovery menu.
xrecovery a.k.a recovery menu
4th step:
option 1:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip)
rename the *.ZIP to Update.ZIP
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
option 2:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip) or in any folder u like
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
5th step:
boot into recovery menu (by restart and hit few times back button when "SONY ERICSSON" word appear)
backup your original rom(in case u want to restore next time)
hit full wipe
option 1:
hit install update.zip from SD card
option 2:
hit install custom zip
search for the custom zip in folder where u save it
hit the zip file
after reboot, u will get custom rom installed in your X10
good luck ;-)
TIPS
1-u can do like rendeiro2005 said by creating rom folder and put the rom collection in it..
so if u want to change or try other rom just choose zip file from the particular folder...
this require using step from option 2
2-another one, by creating folder which contain backup image..
u can collect your friends backup image and put in one folder..
if u want to try, just restore the particular image file using backup/restore option in recovery menu and choose the backup image file..
collection of custom rom backup file for recovery menu:

for use with recovery menu only..
Hi bro,
Only two calls on your excellent tutorial:
1. No need to put the rom in the root of the sdcard. I, for example, to distinguish the roms, I`ve created a folder "Rom" in the root and put the roms in there.
2. It is not necessary to rename the *. zip file.
When we entered the xRecovery, you can go to "install Custom Zip> zip Choose Custom from sdcard>" Now in my case I a. .. "Roms >........" and I intend to choose

it`s not a different way.
i think that way would be more simple (for me at least) `couse you can have different roms puted on the same directory without, everytime that you want to install one change his name to default.zip
but...great TUT (clap your hands floks)
Since i haved installed the 2.1 AOSP, my recovery were deleted !

Install all 3?! Yes you can...if you want you can install WM and iOS
Now mre seriously.
If you want to install 2.1 you have to format sdcard to one partition only. 2.1 doesn't work with more than 1.
Then you can flash...follow this guide to do so

Greetings everyone!
New *registered* user here! I've been frantically sifting through post after post on the forums all night hoping to get some help with an issue I am having on my Vibrant.
Goal:
Remove some bloatware ONLY, not looking to install any ROMs or modify the phone too much...just clean some annoying apps and icons off.
Phone Information:
Model SGH-T959
Firmware 2.2
Baseband T959UVKB5
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FROYO.UVKB5
I currently have the latest version of Java, Android SDK, and SuperOneClick installed.
Install directory of AndroidSDK:
C:\AndroidSDK
My method of failure:
Open SuperOneClick, Click "Root"
Start, Run, "CMD"
cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19/system
This is where it fails and I run into an endless loop of it telling me the proper usage of the "mount" command. I thought I had it at one point but when I typed: rm /system/AmazonMp3.apk all it did was tell me that it was a read-only file and that it couldn't be deleted.
Can someone help lead me in the right direction of what I am doing wrong? I rooted and removed all bloatware about a year ago but I just did an upgrade through MiniKies to the latest version of firmware and I can't seem to remember the process I went through that long ago to get it done right.
I apologize for possibly asking a question that has been asked numerous times but I just couldn't seem to get the wording right to get any helpful results in the search of the forums. Thank you so much for the time in reading this and the future help if any can be provided. Have a great night!!!
It looks like you are in the wrong directory. Open a command prompt in
C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
Open the platform tools folder. Click on a blank space > hold down the shift key > hit right click > select open command window here. Then enter the commands:
adb devices "to check if your device is connected. also make sure usb debugging is enabled on your phone.
adb remount
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
If you want a list of all your /system/apps enter this command
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
This is much easier if you download rom toolbox from the market. All you do is go to /system/app and delete whatever bloatware you dont want.
BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DELETING SYSTEM APPS. ONLY DELETE WHAT YOU KNOW IS BLOATWARE OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET FC'S
good luck
Would I still need to follow the steps prior to that and use SuperOneClick to root the device or do I just skip that process and go straight to the cmd prompt?
Also, I followed a tutorial I found for installing the Android SDK that informed me to copy all the files from android-tools to the tools directory and use that instead but I don't know what the use in that is except for maybe a smaller directory name?
EDIT: I tried what you said with and with using SuperOneClick prior to the procedure and the cmd prompt displayed the following text:
*opened cmd promt in C:\AndroidSDK\tools (no files in platform-tools anymore)*
adb devices (it found my device connected)
adb remount (adb remount: no such file or directory exists)
The adb shell and su commands works fine BUT I still hit the endless loop of it trying to explain to me the "usage" of the mount command.
I will look into Rom toolbox as I'm trying to figure this out as well. Thank you.
I strongly recommend you download root explorer or some similar root browser app. Of course though your phone must be rooted. Just try rom toolbox. It has its own root browser within the app along with other useful features. This is probably the easiest way to uninstall the bloatware in your case since you are having issues with adb.

Thank you!
Okay, I have the suggested "rom toolbox" downloaded from the market and I will try to use that but SuperOneClick does not root the phone deep enough for rom toolbox to see the phone as rooted so...will the "updated.zip" method work for this instead?
I haven't tried it before but I am willing to give it a go if you think it's the best method. If this is the method you recommend, would you happen to have a link to the most recent or atleast most trusted updated.zip rooting method?

So I downloaded the one click program you suggested and the program itself seems to bee pretty straight forward.
I connected phone to computer with debugging on. Opened program and hit one click root. It started doing it's thing...phone rebooted and went into recovery. I started to follow instructions up until I got to where it said install packages. When I clicked it, the phone said installation failed no such file our directory exists.
The phone is looking for the updated.zip file but none exists in the one click folder. There is a root.zip and an unroot.zip...do I need to rename one of them to proceed???
Thank you so much for all the help so far, I feel like I'm so close but just not there yet. You have been an incredible help!

The way (Stock) Recovery works is if you are not "Install from SD" then it will look for the file labeled Update.zip. So you can rename only the Root.zip to Update.zip and make sure that is the only thing on your internal SD labeled that or with .zip Put the unroot.zip in a folder for now. Then try again.
Alright, will give that a try when I get home. I thought I read that the program copied the update.zip file to the phone during it's process so I didn't want to do anything to work against that. I will rename one of the files, copy it to the phone and give the one click root another shot. Thank you!

There is no need to rename anything. The program does it all for you. Play close attention to the first screen (green one) if it says update.zip copied successfully it will then reboot your phone to stock recovery. Once you are in stock recovery all you do is click reinstall packages. Keep clicking reinstall packages even if it reboots the first time. To prove my point mount your phone to your pc and check to see if the update.zip is copied onto the root of your into storage. If not well copy the update.zip from the last guide i suggested from above.
Also check to see if the superuser app is installed on your phone. The program also installs that along with the update.zip. If you have superuser then go to the market download rom manager so you could download CWM.

Alright, so I tried it again once I got home. Didn't work BUT I did see that update.zip was installed into my phone. The sig verification failed, which means I need to change recovery versions to the one that skips sig verification correct?
I'll go search the forums for that since I remember seeing that a little while ago but that is the correct path I need to take at this point in time am I right?
Thank you so much! Big big help!
You can pull the CWR from my signature. Same as before. Put it on your internal labeled update.zip, boot into recovery and and scroll down to Reinstall Packages. Hit it. It will cycle and probably come back to stock recovery. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the stock recovery will go from blue to green (CWR).
Side note, probably from there you will be able to install the Superuser update.zip. Just go to Install from SD card and find it and hit it. The reboot. Might not but the CWR instructions above shoudl work for you.
Well I changed the recovery version using the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 and then used the OneClickRoot and was able to get the update installed (I think). The phone booted up normally, I noticed that SU Permissions was installed so I figure I am rooted correct? WRONG. Rom toolbox says I am not. Is there another way to verify? Should I reinstall Rom toolbox incase it's just bugging out on me?
So I tried using Rom Manager too. Looks as tho SU is not installed correctly, will have to try again I guess.
Cannot install CWR, tried and the recovery text stays blue even after 14 times of reinstalling packages...
This phone will be sent flying across the room sometime tonight I'm guessing. About to erase the entire thing and try starting from scratch again. (Start from Eclair and work my way up maybe)
If you are willing to start from Eclair it would be soooo much easier that all this stuff.
Odin to stock, flash CWR from my signature, go from blue to green and then flash Fishman's Bionix and you are good to go. Simple and way easier than all this mess. Just download Fish's and put it on you SD card somewhere you'll remember. Once in green recovery just scroll to that ROM and flash it per OP.
We've just been trying to Root you since on your OP you said you didn't want to flash a custom ROM.
Well...I'm still trying to avoid flashing Roms (I've upgraded through MiniKies and that's it).
I've only been trying to root just to clean bloatware off but it seems that I must be lacking the technical skills to follow instrcutions properly....nothing is cooperating and even after following all steps nothing wants to work like it should.
Grrrr! One last try to get CWR working before I lose my mind and need to take a break/walk away for a bit.
Ok, so I'm currently back to stock Eclair (ew!!) and about to boot to recovery to install CWR. Wish me luck on that one....
Wooo, CWR up and running! Now I just have to work on a flash maybe or whatever steps were suggested next...I might try the ROM you suggested.
The ROM gets placed on external sdcard and installed from within CWR correct?
Do most ROMs remove bloatware and useless apps?
Yes and are pre-Rooted. Put the ROM.zip on either card. I have a folder that I use. Boot into recovery and get green recovery back. Go to install from SD, find the ROM and flash it per the OP instructions.
Bloat free, pre-Rooted and usually has Voodoo so you can get Voodoo Sound from the market and have a sonic ear-gasm.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the help! I installed the suggested ROM last night and I am very happy with the results thus far. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. Flashing a ROM was MUCH more simpler than the root only decision. Thank you again!
I am trying to go back to stock ROM and use the Bares' Init.d Scripts Using Stock Kernel (V3).
I reflashed the stock GB ROM using flashtool, rooted and installed xrecovery 0.3. After that, I installed Bares' INIT-D-RUNNER-TWEAKS-V3.zip using xrecovery and rebooted. When ever I try to use wifi I get "Error" just below the toggle to turn it on and i does not work.
It seems like someone else had this problem, but Bares says tha wifi errors shouldn't happen, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174564&highlight=wifi
I tried reinstalling three times (install original ROM and after that apply the Init.d scripts) in an unlocked bootloader X10. I then relocked the boot loader and tried again and I still get wifi problems.
Anyone else having problems like this? Is there a work around?
Obs: I could not post in the original threas as I am a newbie here and I am not allowed to post in the development section.

I reflashed the stock GB ROM using flashtool, rooted and installed xrecovery 0.3. After that, I installed Bares' INIT-D-RUNNER-TWEAKS-V3.zip using xrecovery and rebooted. When ever I try to use wifi I get "Error" just below the toggle to turn it on and i does not work.
It seems like someone else had this problem, but Bares says tha wifi errors shouldn't happen, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174564&highlight=wifi
I tried reinstalling three times (install original ROM and after that apply the Init.d scripts) in an unlocked bootloader X10. I then relocked the boot loader and tried again and I still get wifi problems.
Anyone else having problems like this? Is there a work around?
Obs: I could not post in the original threas as I am a newbie here and I am not allowed to post in the development section.

Hi bro, we need to edit install-recovery.sh script inside zip to include wifi module, please refer to HERE.
So, please use this zip, just flash it through Xrecovery, then it should be fine.
FYI

It didn't work out

First, thanks Bares for ansewring fast. But I am sorry to say that I did not succeed. First, I tried to simply add the line
insmod /system/lib/modules/wifi.ko
in the middle of install-recovery.sh and it didn't work out. I thought the reason was that I did not add the wiki.ko file to /system/lib/modules in the generated zip and started to look for it. I found the following the stock wifi modules from here. I got the modules from the x10_gb_stock_wifi_modules.zip file and added them to my tweaked INIT.D zip but it didn't work out. Anything that I am missing?

Hmmm..., this problem could be happened if the rom wasn't settled properly too.
So, please try these steps (exactly) :
- Revert back to stock and setup the phone.
- Root it with the latest Flashtool and choose SuperSU !!!
- Install Xrecovery and let the rom settled first !!!
- Check an everything including wifi !!!.
- If its all working good then flash my script (see the thread for the latest one) through xrecovery and dont get rush on the first 2~3 reboot.
- And check the result.
Regards
It still does not work

I tried as you suggested and it didn't work. I tried both with your V4 scripts and with my modified version to include the "insmod /system/lib/modules/wiki.ko". Both did not work after some time to settle the original ROM (with 3 reboots) and some time to settle the modified ROM (3 more reboots).
I have also tried your new STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip update file, but it didn't work either.
One thing I noticed is that your original update files delete the wifi.ko module from the /system/lib/modules directory that exists in the stock ROM. I even copied wifi.ko to my computer and cried an small zip that can be flashed by xrecovery to restore that file, but it is not enough to get it working. I tried to read your INIT-D-RUNNER-TWEAKS-V4 to see what it was doing but I did not understand how it changes wifi (I could not even find out where wiki.ko wasw being deleted).
It is a really shame, as your new STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip looks exactly as what I wanted.
Anything else I should try?

Hi bro,
The last options is by remove these 2 lines below from instal-recovery.sh script inside zip provided (STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip) :
HTML:
#init.d runner
busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/
BUT, ... the problem is : you will lost init.d runner for Stock Kernel, and it cause all tweaks will not run for sure.
The result is the rom will feel a bit slower than it should be.
Note : To be honest, i'm little bit confusing here, because everything should be fine.
OR : Use custom kernel for Locked Bootloader ( Doomkernel V6 for Locked Bootloader).
OR :
Just simply unlock the bootloader (it's really safe, but you have to follow the proper procedure on this), the simply procedure is :
- Revert back to Stock Rom using PC Companion or SEUS or Flashtool (Download the latest Flashtool Version (see the thread about how to unlock for more detail info, read it carefully!!!)., and then unlock your bootloader using this Flashtool.
Note :
Don't assume if got doubt about this.
- Flash custom kernel using above Flashtool (DoomKernel V6 integrated Bootmanager V2 Auto Rooted by Championswimmer is my recommendation) , because it's using Original Sony's boot splash logo.
- Flash above zip (STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip) through Xrecovery.
- Finally you have to flash wifi modul for above kernel (find it on DoomLord's Thread).
Hope this help
Regards
Intalling another kernel does not work...
Hi,
I had a version with a prestine Stock + STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip[/B] through Xrecovery. And I installed championswimmer kernel on top of it (thinking it would restore wi-fi) and it didn't work. That is realluy strange. I am starting to fear that the problem is with my X10 (it has some odd behaviors, like it always become slow when using a Ferakernel).
I'll try your first suggestion (turn off init.d scripts) and let you know how it went here.
Anyhow, great thanks!
Improvement

I tried to turn off init.d scripts and it didn't work!
It was getting into my nerves. So I decided to look inside your INIT-D-RUNNER-TWEAKS-V4.zip file to see if something was weird to me. I am an old Linux desktop user and it looked very strange a line in the update-script script inside META-INF/com/google/android:
delete_recursive SYSTEM:etc/init.d
This woudl delete the whole /etc/init.d directory, somthing that looks very dangerous from a desktop user. So I just commented it and created a new zip file (allowing the copy of your custom init.d scripts, just avoid the full deletion before hand). I was sure it would not work, but it did... Wifi is working after I install this new zip.
I plan now to take a close look at exactly what files are being deleted to find out what should remain in order to keep wifi working in my phone. I'll let you know when I get it right. Now I have to leave as real life is calling me!
I found a solution
I found the problem an the solution.
Just after installing the stock rom, rooting, and installing xrecovery, there is a single file in /system/etc/init.d. It is called 00modules (see attachment). It looks like it create symlinks from the currect kernel modules to /system/lib/modules. This file is essential to get wifi working in my X10.
Since Bare's mods, like STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip, delete all the files in there I end up without wifi after installing them.
The solution is simple. Just add this file to STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip in "system/etc/init.d". It will them be copied back after being erased. Wifi works and I get Bare's mod fully functional.
Thanks Bares fo your mod!

I create this line below :
delete_recursive SYSTEM:etc/init.d
Just to make sure no additional tweaks on init.d (and this is for users that don't want to fresh install the rom) , so the rom will 100% run with my files, just is't.
BTW, thanks a lot for the finding bro :good:. I have update my script to the FINAL one (see my thread), and it seem will be no more update after this one.

In case you want to do the actually OTA with your phone, and got some errors (dead android), you might want to check:
+ if you are using "CWM Recovery" (then uninstall it as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825)
+ if you are using "Remove QSlide Apps from NotificationBar" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194423)
But don't use the QSlide revert file from above thread, it doesn't restore the exact matched file for OTA to work with (you can try if you want). To save you some trouble, I have attach the original files (LGSystemUI.apk and its odex). Unzip and overwrite them in the folder /system/app (use ES Explorer to remount /system RW first).
+ still not found the problem, check the few last lines of this file: /system/cache/recovery/last_log
It should say which file mismatches the checksum, and in the case of mine, it is LGSystemUI.apk, which I cannot find anything related searching google. And that's why I make the thread so people can search google and found it here.

If you are rooted then all you need to do is find a nandroid backup of previous jb and flash it. Then you use the trick to force the OTA. If you are not rooted then the only thing I can say is download the kdz, flash it, and wait for the OTA.
there are a few things that manipulate the system: link2sd, overclocking, busybox, custom recovery. . .My thing was the busybox. I totally forgot that I downloaded it and my update didn't work at first. Good Luck

Go go page 9 of the forum link below. There is a Dropbox link of a factory rooted version of V20f for the 769 US version to flash if you have access to CWM on your phone.

Downloaded several times to make sure it wasn't a bad download. Went to apply zip, as soon as I pressed YES, INSTALL ABORTED.
I have no mods or edited system files or anything like that. All I ever did was CWM and root. Had qslide removed but reverted.
Make sure MD5 sum is correct. The other stuff doesn't matter. You are flashing a full backup not an OTA which requires all stock apps.

Wait you tried to install it as a zip
You are supposed to extract it and put the nandroid in the CWM backup directory.

I'm having the same issue, I do not have CWM or QSlide Remove installed, I've uninstalled all Root related apps and still encountering the same issue....

In my OP, I said "don't use the QSlide revert file from above thread, it doesn't restore the exact matched file for OTA to work with".
In case you still have trouble with the OTA, try to follow what I wrote: "To save you some trouble, I have attach the original files (LGSystemUI.apk and its odex). Unzip and overwrite them in the folder /system/app (use ES Explorer to remount /system RW first)."
Hope that helps!
For other people with problems, I suggest to use the Recovery Flashable Zip mentioned in one of the reply.
Or, if you are as paranoid as I am (who knows what people might put in those zip file ) (and somewhat technically knowledgeable), "check the few last lines of this file: /system/cache/recovery/last_log" to see what file got error, and try to get the original file from 20D (which should have the matched SHA1 checksum) and replace them.

Get the full P769BKv20f kdz file download here. Please be advised that this is just stock and if you flash this ROM then you WILL LOSE ROOT! But you can download and create a bin file to do the Lelus root method.
