Wrong "not enough space available on /system" message

Odpad Issues

Hi,

Just trying to install Anti-theft to my SGS4, no luck, it keeps saying an error about “not enough space available on /system” which is wrong (I have 2.2Gb free).

Attached screenshot and df of the /system partition:

Filesystem               Size     Used     Free   Blksize
/system                  2.7G   439.5M     2.2G   4096

Btw I’m root and I’ve choosen the “Root Instalation” method.

this is a bug, it will be fixed in next program update.

Hi Reinhard,

As part of the AT Advanced Beta Test program, I’ve just received version 3.0.5548, but I had the same problem (maybe the problem was lying in the previous version which was trying to update, not in the new 3.0.5548).

At the end, what I did use adb shell as root, find the newly downloaded file (called “*.temp.Apk”) in anti-theft files (under /data/data/…anti-theft…/files/), and overwrite manually the apk in /system/app :wink: ).

(PS: sorry for the poor report on the file and dir names, I report it from memory as I accidentaly closed the window containing the commands and output history)

EDIT: Either I didn’t upgrade correctly (maybe I didn’t took the correct apk…), or there’s a new build that was pushed in the meantime (3.0.5564 BETA). Gonna try to upgrade and report.

EDIT2: Upgrade from 3.0.5548 to “3.0.5564 BETA” when smoothly via the automated (app) process :wink: . I only paste here the file names and path for the record.

upgrade from old version has the same problem as of course it still contains the bug. we fixed install + upgrade FROM new version to another version.
