to recover from a soft brick, now I'm trying to re-root so I can restore my nandroid backup but no apps are installing. Can't install rom manager, titanium, etc. It immediately says download was unsuccesful with no reasoning. Internet is working fine over wifi. Any suggestions?
I also just disabled wifi and tried it from the mobile network, still no go. I don't know what to do now. Please help!
Also I did not restore any apps yet, and I have tried clearing the cache in a list of several apps I found on another thread having the same issue (including market) which did not work.
I think I've found a way around this by downloading the apps I needed (one click root and ROM manager) onto my droid and copying the .apk files over, so I can get around this problem, but can someone explain to me what I did wrong?
I had an issue with deleting stock bookmarks. Using Titanium backup I deleted bookmarks without backing up. Subsequently it deleted my stock browser as well. Reinstalling browser.apk gave me a stock web icon but with errors fails to load. Do I need additional files? Other browsers work fine. I need stock though. froyo 2.2
Hey Guys,
I have tried the backup and restore for stock memo data through Kies and it works great. But I don't want to do that. Every time I start Kies, something will surely get stuck.
I did a quick search on the forum and the only thing I could find was getting the memo.db file. However, I couldn't find it on my phone. In fact, I couldn't even locate the folder.
Anyways, Please help if you know of any app or any way I can do this painlessly without Kies, prefereably to my DropBox.
I have Galaxy Ace, running 2.3.4 (not rooted)
TIA!
You could use the Pro version of Titanium Backup.
First, click your memo app from list -> Backup (app+data)* -> synch to dropbox.
*you can chose only data as well if you want to reinstall the app via market.
When you need to restore it just download the files from your dropbox, the files are stored in ur SD-card as well.
off topic: TIA = This Is Africa as well xD
Rooted SGS2 (with S2root) on Three network - kernel KI8, PDA KI2, CSC KI2
Backed up Talk 1.3 with titanium backup (not pro), uninstalled, cannot restore. titanium backup just sits on "restoring", even left it for 20 mins, cant even cancel it i have to close with task manager.
3 seemingly related titanium backup files:
com.google.android.talk-20111209-015957.properties
com.google.android.talk-fabd85cd35eb7dca08bec6aea0e6c41e.apk.gz (containing the apk)
com.google.android.talk-20111209-015957.tar.gz - (containing signinginactivity.xml)
com.google.android.talk.apk is still in the system\app folder, though nothing by that name on the titanium backup list, appears as "Talk 1.3" and uninstalled. if i delete the titanium backup files, the uninstalled app name changes to com.google.android.talk and talk 1.3 disappears.
Tried running a copy of talk.apk on the phone, didnt install, tried copying it to system\app and resarting: nothing. didnt show upanywhere as an installed app.
I thought it was something else and I want it back. Whatever changes i do, i still see the gtalk status next to people's names in my contacts/text message list, online/away etc. but no app in the app list. I can't work out what titanium backup did.
I think you should have booted to recovery and wiped cache partition and dalvik cache then rebooted and tried again.I dont think it was a good idea to have deleted the backup files cos the backup you made is most likely gone.You might have to reflash your firmware to get the stock app back you deleted.
hmm
I have a copy of the backup files on my desktop, what can I do with them? And is com.google.Android.talk.apk all there is to it? I have no talk.apk, no talkprovider.apk, no gservices like other people have mentioned.
boot into ClockworkMod recovery and flash

+1 thats the way to go
good call.that should do if your missing everything else.
I really don't think this was a good idea. Like I said before i still saw peoples talk statuses next to my normal contacts, some part of the stock app was still there. Now I get constantly disconnected in the new app and it seems to sign out when I back out of the program. What can I do with my titanium backup files instead? They are in .gz format but cwm flashes zips, I know I can convert just not sure if its the right thing to do.
I've also read that talk is part of the gmail app somewhere
P.s. Sorry for late reply, was getting my head round installing cwm, unrooted with s2 root then changed kernel to cfroot ki8
Or is there at least a way to reinstall the ki8 firmware that kies gave me...and would that even help
just incase
just incase anyone reading wants to know the real answer, it was to reinstall the official firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
then re-root with CF-Root from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
all stock apps are back including talk, all my apps and settings were left untouched.
I rooted my X10 mini and installed Titanium backup. I replaced stock messaging and browser apps with new ones. Later there was a problem reading SD card witch titanium puts the backup on it. Now there's no way to restore the original stock apps such as the messaging and browser. Now my phone cannot open any SMS message or visit the web!! With problem accessing SD I can' download any alternative app! I guess I'd like to go back to the original light weight apps. Where can I find them?
