I cannot get the antitheft app to install correctly on a SGS I9000 (CM9.1 rooted). The created update.zip file (edify, type 2 for ICS, other methods did not work) is installed without a failure in CWM recovery but is not recognized afterwards in the avast mobile security and does not show up in the app list. I’m using the most recent mobile security app from google play. How can I get anti theft to work in rooted mode? Without out root installation works. I have tried several times to deinstall the mobile security app and reinstall with reboot in between…
a) as Jan said, doesnt direct write mode work? update.zip is just thought for devices which are NAND protected - samsung phones aren’t.
b) please send me the UPDATE.zip file generated + a link to this thread to holzner (at) avast.com
The direct mode doesn’t work for me. I tried the update.zip mode but that didn’t work either. It updates successfully, but avast! doesn’t recognize that anti theft has been installed after I boot the phone up.
My phone details are
HTC Desire S, rooted, HTC dev unlocked, s-on. I’m still on the stock rom.
I have installed ClockworkMod recovery though.
Please let me know if you need any further details.
