[Q] ApplicationsProvider.apk doesn't have any of expected sha1 sums

I am currently running 4.1.1 takju and I can't update to 4.1.2 and therefore can't update to 4.2 (via OTA).
I tried to do it manually by copying the file to /sdcard but I still get checksum errors.
I thought that I was on stock 4.1.1 so I can't see how this file fails the checksums.
Can I download and replace ApplicationsProvider.apk with the correct checksum from somewhere?
This is the end of the recovery log.

Got exactly same here.

If you still care, here is how I fixed the problem.
1. Download firmware image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2. Follow HOW-TO: Return to stock for ALL Galaxy Nexus phones except step D.10

I was hoping to avoid flashing and just replace the single file and do an OTA update.
I extracted the factory image with 7-Zip and thought I could extract the relevant apk from system.img.
Unfortunately unyaffs kept failing with a stack dump.
Looks like it is backup and reload now

[Q] Install Problem

Hello, i have a LG Optimus G (e973) and i have the Cyanogenmod 10.2 install. I want to upgrade to the CM11 version, but after i downloaded the update files, i restarted my phone in recovery mode and this is the message i got...
set_metadata_recursive: Some changes failed

after that, i need to reinstalled cm10.2 and my gapps and my phone is ok...
do you have a solution to install finally my cm updated xD
Thanks in advanced all

UP!

There is a solution but you have to start from scratch. Download cm or any other rom and gapps flash kdz do a hard reset root and unlock bootloader back again and then flash your rom

Gapps failing to install

[Q] Stuck in Recovery, can't flash ROMs

Decided to resurrect my old Verizon GNex, and found that it will only boot to TWRP recovery. Was able to successfully sideload a ROM zip, but attempt to flash produces the following result (copied from phone screen, site won't let me link screenshot):
Formatting /system
Extracting /system
Symlinking
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/sideload.zip'
Updating partition details...
Failed
Any ideas on how to proceed?

First copy ROM on sdcard, then wipe all except sdcard, and then try.

[Q] Wiped /sdcard and /system - only have CWM now. How can I proceed?

I had an older custom ROM and CWM 6.0.10 and I wanted to update to a newer 4.4 ROM (Omni) so I booted into recovery and proceeded to do a factory reset along with a format of /sdcard and /system. Now when I reboot, I enter recovery automatically.
I managed to push the ROM .zip to the phone using "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip". The problem is that when I try to install from zip (withing CWM) the install fails with this message:
SymlinkingApplyParsedPerms: removexattr of /system/addon.d/50-hosts.sh to 0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
script aborted: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

I'm stuck here and I'm guessing that I shouldn't have formatted /sdcard and /system as the directory "/0" that the error message refers to isn't on /sdcard anymore (it used to be). Not sure what to do at this point.
I've tried flashing TWRP, but fastboot waits forever with a "<waiting for device>". I thought TWRP might let me sideload the ROM (I was thinking that this manner of installing might create some default partitions on the SD card, as needed.
I welcome any suggestions. BTW, this is all on a Galaxy Nexus GSM
