Removed System App, Now cannot Update to 2.3.6 - Nexus S

[felipe1982]

I rooted my Nexus S, and uninstalled Google Earth (system app). I was notified of an update 2.3.6. WHen running the update, there is an error with "failed assert" GoogleEarth.apk.

I tried to manually copy a backup GoogleEarth.apk, but same error. I searched the web, and discovered that I also need a *.obex file, to go along with the *.apk.

Could somebody provide me with a matched pair? GoogleEarth.apk GoogleEarth.obex. I don't want to factory-restore my phone

Search (File Expert) doesn't show an ".obex" file on my Nexus One (2.3.4)...

Do you have other *.obex files in /system/app (non-Google-Earth ones)?

The search turned up none.

My Google Earth is working as advertised, BTW. Without an "*.obex" file, apparently...

Are you sure you shouldn't be looking for ".odex" files, with a "d" instead of a "b"?

Hmm, perhaps it is odex (with 'd'). In any case, my Google Earth works fine, too. But I cannot run the newest Gingerbread update because of an assert test failure on /system/app/GoogleEarth.apk ... Aside from factory-reset, any other solutions or suggestions? Does the exact filename matter here? (/system/app/GoogleEarth.apk)

Renamed it to /system/app/GoogleEarth.apk (sic) and the upgrade worked. SOLVED
