[Q] Need help downgrading LG Revolution (One Step) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211295
I Don't understand what '15. Since it wants a .bin file, you can open the .TOT file by typing "*.*" inside the File Name query and hitting Enter' means. Everything went fine except this; what does it mean by
"you can open the .TOT file by typing "*.*" inside the File Name query"
I typed "." in the file name when trying to open the .tot file but nothing happens. any help?

downgrade help from 2.3.6
uninstall and reinstall the lgpnst, the store version seemed to only be needed. found this when I searched the error about block calculations after i changed the file extension. turns out, typing the whole path with the .tot extension will get around the file type problem.

Android file naming convention error. Cannot revert

Greetings.
First details:
T-Mobile Galaxy S3 (T-999)
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband: T999UVLEM
Kernel: 3.0.8-611599-user
Build Number: IMM76D.T999UVALEM
Problem:
I attempted to utilize the HyperX camera mod (allowing 30fps, and 30Mbit superfine settings etc) which required copying the Camera.apk over to the /system/app folder, (while deleting/renaming the old samsungcamera.apk and samsungcamera.odex files).
Here's where is gets tricky: Using Root Browser Lite I navigated to that system/app folder and renamed the files to *.apk.old" to keep them in case of problems. but, APPARENTLY I accidently renamed the Odex file to what is now shown as "SamsungCamera.odex?old". Upon using the mod I now get a force close on ALL video so I wanted to revert back, but I can't rename it BACK to .odex because of the question mark in the file name... nor can I delete it, etc. I tried to mv the file through ADB but a LV command shows the filename listed on two seperate lines.. as if it sees the "?" as a line break.
It lists it like this:
SamsungCamera.apk.old
SamsungCamera.odex
old
SamsungIME.apk
etc etc
I can't rename it through ADB because i can't figure out how to get the filename syntax correct and I can't rename it in root browser because it can't handle the file period, now.
Anyone know how to fix this? ultimately either a solution to fix it... or undo it would be amazing... I know the XDA group is amazingly intelligent..... Can anyone help me?
Please?
I can't attach files, just get someone to post the file you need. I think that should work. Also, maybe try a different file explorer like ES.
Update: ES File Explorer shows the file listed as "SamsungCamera.odex old" (note the space). Attempts to rename it through ES result in "file operation failed" popup for a second., Root Browser Lite lists it as "SamsungCamera.odex?old" (note the "?") and attempts to rename or change permissions through that program result in a "superuser permission granted" popup, but nothing changes. end result: neither work.
If the file is truly just "corrupted" or named wrong somehow, then the system isn't seeing it at all, correct?!?!? So a replacement stock odex would suffice?
Hopefully? At this point I just want the stock T-Mobile Galaxy S3 camera functionality (HD video) to work, again. Even in 720p.... However that is possible, I'll do it.
PLEASE?!?!?
ANYONE? Bueller? Bueller? ??
No video on a brand new phone isn't exactly fun..
Can anyone shed some light on renaming this file after this?? or provide the GS3 "SamsungCamera.odex" file?
Problem solved (by using another copy of the stock Odex)
For posterity:
Just to follow up.. The problem was solved with help from a member on this forum who provided the "SamsungCamera.odex" file for my T-Mobile GS3 phone, as followed in this thread.
If anyone else has this problem, or simply just needs the odex file... please see this link to this thread for that attachment.
thank you, again.

[Q] Is there Any Way To Extract .tot(LG Firmware) Contents

First of all, I hope this is the right section to post this thread. And as the title suggest is there any way to extract the contents of .tot files that are being used to flash LG phones to Factory State. I don't have the concerned device(LG G2) right now with me, that's why I need to extract the contents from .tot files. There is just one thread of XDA(from all the internet) that talks about the extracting contents from .tot files but it seems the procedure explained in that thread requires a device to be had and using the log file that is left by LG Flash Tool during flashing a phone.
Starting off, when LGNPST is used to image a phone, it creates a log file in C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Models\LOG\ For example, mine was called LS970Log_COM5.log. We are really only interested in one part of this file, located close to the bottom when the phone is actually being imaged.

See that quote, so I can't use that method. So, please some one let me know if there is an alternative.

[Q] editing .so file

Howdy.
I'm trying to modify a .so file (libflashplayer.so), but have run into a few problems:
I first tried editing the file after it was installed from an .apk. This appears to work at first, but the edited file is quickly replaced with the original.
I then tried editing the file in the .apk package. This causes the package to fail to install (I'm guessing because the md5 in the certificates no longer matches)
Aldo tried moving a folder with the .so files from the .apk (com.adobe.flashplayer-1 which is what is created when the .apk installs correctly) directly into /data/app-lib/.The directory was created successfully but appears to be immediately deleted.
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? If so how?
Other possibly relevant info:
My device is rooted
I did not write the code for anything in the .apk, I got it from a link on xda (pretty dubious i know but I couldn't find another option)
I'm using cyanogenmod 10.2 (based on android 4.2 I believe).
I'm editing the file with a hex editor to change a a few characters ("AND" to "WIN")

[Q] APK file type not being recognized to be used with APK_OneClick

First off I will say this is the greatest tool I have ever came across and I am thankful for anyone that had hand in its production. The tool of course is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873466 and it has been working great for me. But earlier today I used winrar to open a com apk file and edit a specific txt file however I accidentally didn't un-click the "use as default program" box and now right-clicking and apk file will not display the decompile option or install to phone option any longer. I figured since the default program had been changed it was not being recognized by one click apk any longer so I deleted the default program for the apk file type in the registry and uninstalled then re installed the shellext for APK_OneClick however the right-click apk options still will not show. I can recompile folders to APKs but nothing else. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced it is driving me crazy.
I am assuming my problem is fro the whole winrar accident as the icon provided with OneClick no longer is displayed for apk files either I just can't solve the issue.
I have tried open file with whe right clicking apks and it will allow me to select the decompile file in the APK_OneClick folder manully but then after recompiling the disarm folder back into an APK it fails to install to the phone via USB and after moving it to the phone it has a parsing error. Any help on how to fix the right click problem or at least fix my parsing issue would be much appreciated. Thank you all!

Question one+-latest do it all tool

i found this on a gsm forum thought id share it here
32.33 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
I have this... its not worked for me so far
This is a windows .bat file that is "protected" and is written to work with Android 11 and half the functions are not the same with the Android 12 ColorOS base version. If the author would have shared it with the .bat file in plain text, someone might have updated it and left his credit and not just stole his work and renamed it.
Not everyone embraces open source ideals.
Yes this work with os11 not for os12
All you have to do is run the exe, then browse to where it extracts the contents to. IE:
c:\Users\<username>\appdata\local\temp
....

You have not dealt with well written .bat file obfuscation. I have the .bat file, but it has been run through a tool that converts the editable ASCII into expressions and different encoded base (x) that are more work to resolve than to re-write the batch file.
Challenge: Make this working executable .bat file plain ascii again.
Your story, tell it like you believe it ;-)
Honestly though, why not look for your self? Ive already done it with this "tool". Not obfuscated at all. If yer having problems finding the files, run the EXE, choose one menu option, go to yer temp DIR and sort the contents by date modified, and with the FILES listed first, scroll down to where it starts listing directories. It will be the first one listed. Have fun!
\\'eird dunno why it didnt attach the file to the previous post. I should have made clear that the file you seek was located in the tmp directory thats created under the parent directory... You seemed to know what you were talking about, so I assumed little to no hand-holding would be needed...
Its worth mentioning that all of these bat2exe tools use the same (or nearly the same..) method for urm ehhh "obfuscation"; IE: upon running the app, it inflates the files to your appdata\local\temp directory. Sometimes the "app" will be password protected, and wont unpack the exe until the correct password is entered. For myself its force of habit to go check my temp dir after running any of these style tool things... And you should too!
