[Q] i've screwed my Moto RAZR - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi all,
Hope you guys can help me.
Two days ago I was digging my rooted device(2.3.5) and had accidentally uninstalled my "settings.apk",... Now I cant change my settings because I've lost my access to settings menu..Also, many functions like widgets, wifi config and sms service seems to be gone.
Can you guys believe I was able to do that?? haha...
I need someone to send me this apk again or..... Since My device is from Brazil and I dont know if there's something diff between verions, I need to reinstall my Android but I couldnt find a tutorial..
Could please try to help me??
Regards,
Fernando

look for the fastboot files for your device in the development section

My razr is also from Brazil, but was bought in Canada. It is not rooted. Can I help you anyway?

Hummmm...Maybe....if you could send me the "settings.apk" I can try to reinstall it... Since your RAZR is from Brazil, I bleieve you'll find it with diff name, "Configurar.apk"
I'd be glad if you try..

"fergione @ g m a i l . c o m"

Didnt work. still no access to settings menu.
Hey
A user has sent me the settings.apk, bur it hasnt worked, it finishes the instalation with the msg "Application is not installed"...I believe I'll have to reinstall 2.3.5 (brasilian versionagain... I saw lots of threads talking about it, but since I'm not familiar with this it will be hard to find the right one?
Could you please point me the right thread to follow?? Is there a step by step?
Thanks,
Fernando

You don't install system apks, you push them to /system/app, or drop them in there manually with a file explorer that has root access (root explorer, es file explorer, et cetera). User-installed apps live in the /data partition.
Make sure you have the matching settings.odex in /system/app as well.

Hummmm.. i hope this will help u

Great...
I'll try that, but I also need the ".odex" as for razr 2.3.5 as well.
MAX6500, could you send me your ".odex" file too??
Thanks

Hi all,
I'm facing similar issues...
I stupidly deleted some system files which I had backed up, the backup however dosent seem to work even after placing it in the system/app folder with the right permissions and ownership.
also I can't seem to find a leaked fastboot file for my system version: 65.1.21.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03
any ideas?

My RAZR is back...

Skip Sprint Activation Easy WaY

No more waiting for 2-3 mins on every boot or getting wi-fi errors for international users.
This will only stop handfree activation all other services will be active including the lock screen.
Just delete these 2 files from system/app folder using rootexplorer after rooting.
SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk
SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex
Let me know if u have ne problems.
UPDATE
Ok a little update got a better way of doing this for GSM users, no deleting ne files but requires you to have your six digit SPC/MSL code.
Get hold of cdmaworkshop 2.7
Boot Photon into BP Tools mode.
after connection to correct port in cdmaworkshop.
Other Menu
R-UIM menu
set this option to R-UIM only.
Write reboot and your good to go.

Ok thanks nice post.But how can j install a custom rom (Alien) without Sprint activation?
Living in Greece using,best android device with stock rom.
Just an update for everyone who has applied this. I tried to update OTA today to the latest version and I got the error as described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18389195&postcount=18
Need to find these files somehow to apply the updates.
I did very easy thing, since i tired to wait sprint activating. Root your device, go to /system/app/ and delete all files that are starting with sprint****. Reboot after that. You ll see how quickly your phone will work at all!

I would suggest not to delete the files, but rename them instead. Adding a .bak or .save is ok. This way, when an android update comes, you will not run into problems cause the installer can't find the stock distribution as it is supposed to be. Before the update, just return the files to their original names and the update should go smooth.
to the international users here
recenlty after updatin to latest OTA
i keep losing signal, and my phone switches to CDMA on its own
texts come in large bunches (when i get signal back)
really annoying
anyone else?
Is not deleting those two files the same as to freeze them with titanium backup? Cos when I freeze them I don't have a lock screen
Ups....mistake, I thoa about SprintOMADM.apk ))))
hello,
sorry for my bad English

[Q] Copy paste problem on stock ROM

Hi all,
I am having issues with copy and paste on my stock ROM. According to Clipper, nothing goes into the clipboard when I cut/copy text. I've tried this in S Memo, Gmail, Chrome, Messaging and Whatsapp, so it should be a system issue. Is anyone else having similar problems? Mine is running PDA: I9305ZHALI8. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Not mine. I've tried copying text from webpage to search bar, and even copied some text from Gmail to Whatsapp.
But...does I9305ZHALI8 exist? Mine is ZHALI7.
Where's your S III LTE brought from? Mine is HK.
Edit: Seen the upgrade. I decide not to upgrade first.
Fix
I hade the same problem, but i found a salution.
First open upp any root explorer app.
data and look for the folder named clipboard.
delite that folder and boot your phone in to recovery mode.
then you fix permissions.
hoped i helped
ansonscleung: I just upgraded today hoping that the update would fix this copy paste issue, but unfortunately it does not. I was on I9305ZHALI7 for almost two weeks.
Curwer: Thanks for your fix! I was hoping I wouldn't have to root but if I may have to do so if it really gets on my nerves...
sry I dont know any other way to fix this, maybe factory reset will but i´m not 100% on that :/

samsung galaxy s3 keyboard re-installation

So i have finally rooted my phone through CF Auto root method, and im happy i can access anything on the phone.
first thing i wanted to do is get rid of the samsung Keyboard, as it got stuck to being default after every restart.
So got into /system/apps/samsungIME.apk and removed it. I use ES file explorer with root access.
Job done, now i have the smart keyboard pro on and happy with it
Lets say i want to reinstall the SamsungIME.apk
reinstalling it is not a go im afraid. If i try to reinstall it from my ext.Sdcard, it says installation failed
If i copy and paste it in the same folder, it says: parsing error, unable to extract or something.
So my question following quite a bit of search is : in general, when trying to reinstall samsung apps, will this occur all the time?
Do i have to do something in addition to get it to work?
i saw someone mention in a different thread (I9100 i think) about chaning something in the build prop which i couldnt find anyway, and others talking about permissions
With ESfile explorer, i havent found the 'permissions' aspect of things, as all i have to do is allow ES to enter the root explorer through SU and then i dont get any other question about allowing permsissions to save/install and application.
many thanks and please excuse me if my questions are very childish for experiences users, as this is the first time i have entered this field!

Reinstalling ANY SYSTEM APK would mean that you would have to push it to the system. Here is a YouTube video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJGbiSkom9M
If you are interested to download again the stock app, I have uploaded all the stock apps in mediafire. check my sig if you are interested
Many thanks. Will check asap!

Looking at the video, es file explorer does something similar, but it hasnr worked. Does this mean I have to buy the root explorer software?
Edit: I just downloaded root explorer and saved the apk according to the info. Keyboard hasn't installed though. I wonder if I have to tranfer the obex file as well
Edit 2: transfered the obex file as well, still didn't install. I can see the apk in there but its not installing.
And to finish this, I did excactly the same with the obex file and it worked. My samsung keyboard is back so again
MANY THANKS!

[Q] Can no longer write to Android/Obb in JB 4.2?

So after updating to Android JB 4.2 I can no longer write to the ' SdCard/Android/Obb ' directory.
Can anyone confirm if they are having this problem too? Is it due to this stupid and annoying feature that google has now implemented that they wish to check all .apk files before they are able to be installed? I turned this off in settings but it seems that it turns itself back on again after every reboot?
I cannot write to the directory from my PC via USB cable or even through a root app despite the phone telling me that I have -Rw access to the folder and all of it's subfolders etc.
I even tried writing via Linux but it doesn't work either... even if I try and force a write.. plus I cannot access the internal memory when the phone is booted down...
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Think you need to have root Explorer to write to obb
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Before upgrading I could write to the directory from either my PC or Root Explorer or Solid Explorer. Now I can't seem to write to it at all. So it's not that unfortunately...
R: [Q] Can no longer write to Android/Obb in JB 4.2?
As far as i can remember u can edit the obb directory even without root....but i'm an android kinda novice.
Try another file browser from the phone (the one from rhythm software is very good).
Might also be that problem with directory permissions that get mixed up to which clockwork mod always refers to (they have an option to fix directory problems).
Android, i have noticed, can get corrupted easily, have you done some serious modding to your cel phone or just root and small patching?

I've been trying a string of different things for a couple of days...
I've tried root explorer pro, when I press copy it finishes instantly but nothing is happening.
R/w is on..
I tried solid explorer pro, it instantly says "the file(s) could not be copied"
Tried "Fix Permissions" from CWM...
Tried copying from Windows. It copies up to 99% then says: "The directory is no longer available, it may have been removed"
The connection is fine, and I can copy to all other folders no matter where. EXCEPT for this folder..
I am 99.9% sure that it's due to this annoying new Android Guard thing in the settings that asks to scan everything. Even if I turn it off, I bet that it still has some sort of affect. It's probably just denying all writes from outside an accepted source..
This really angers me. I don't want my phone to have ANY directories that I cannot write to. Especially seeing as I have to often copy files back and forth from this folder when I make updates to the 2 games I am developing..
There was no problem before updating to 4.2 and this Android Guard thing.
I'm willing to try all suggestions.. Thanks

I'm using Android HD Revolution. It's apparently an 'official leaked' one with just the 'improvements' that Mike etc. do.
Thanks also for your reply. I'm trying to keep my device current so I can stay on top of releasing updates, but I really can't do that if I can't fix this issue. I've put it off for awhile now but it's really stalled the development process /tear

If you mean using ARHD 30.* that is not official, that is the leaked version of 4.2.1, that mike has tweaked
Before flashing ROMs, read changelists carefully please:good:
Ok well then I missed the play on words, it's not 'official' but it's a leaked version. Mike, or whoever updates the thread doesn't usually provide a very verbose changelog.
So I take it that absolutely no one here on XDA has any idea as to why I cannot write to this 'specific' area in my partition?
I have the same problem with Galaxy S4. I rooted the device but this didn't help.
I have tried loading files to obb in Windows 7, ES File Explorer, AntTek Explorer - but no results.
Edit://
I solved my problem using AntTek Explorer (root) and the path is next:
Device root/storage/sdcard0/android/obb - then I had permissions to copy files there.
I hope it help.

Thankyou very much my friend!
I forgot to write back. I solved my problem by just wiping my device and flashing a new rom. It ended up being a rom issue. No problems now.
hello there,
wondering if there is anyways to copy obb files on galaxy s4 without root?
or even make the app read obb file from where else ?

Search youtube for-How to move OBB file to Android/obb! Android 4.2 Phone! ..
Hope that helps..
reading changelogs doesn't help the problem..
and @leijonasisu probably it would've been bad flash.. but before i say that you should change rom and check once again.. you gotta see if there was any write protection to the specific folder.. so try using an FTP client, if you still cant get access, then you gotta change the rom and try again

Sometimes we can use them by copying apk to data folder. Just copy the apk file to "/data/app folder and sey the permission. And reboot.

Hi very_lie, need specifics, what method are you using- ADB? Are you rooted? What app- is it compatible with your device, app store(play/aptoide) will tell you yea or nay. Assuming you are rooted, use a good file manager, go into settings of the file manager, give it root permissions, and change mount system folders to writable, they will be read only originally. Find out where the app needs to go. For example, earlier today, I replaced talkback app because the version that came with custom ROM force closed. Google came out with an update recently that works for me. In file explorer, went to /system/app to find out what its called- talkback.apk. Downloaded v. 3.5 from aptoide(be careful), renamed it talkback.apk. go to /system/app, deleted older talkback.apk, go to data/dalvic cache and delete system @ app @ talkback.apk @ classes.dex Took renamed apk, copied it(from sd), just long press on the file and options come up, select copy. Navigated to /system/app and paste it there. Reset permissions, again long press hit permissions, will probably at rw-rw-rw, change to rw-r--r-- read write, read, read. Reboot. Upon reboot, may say android is upgrading-all is good-dalvic cache is building. Now with certain apps you will want to delete its data- in /data/data. For this app didn't need to. Also some apps can't be put in /system/app. On my phone HTC Evo 3d, ones like facebook, Twitter, translate and other google app can. Ones like Skype n dropbox cannot- they forced closed and can cause others to misbehave. So open up your app n see if it works. Go back into file manager, /data/data and make sure your app's permissions are rwxr-xr-x. Hope this helps, follow this same format when putting"forcing" app on data partition- /data/app

I've got a old version of APK editor pro , that I can use . Version 1.00 to bypass any install errors .. don't ask me how to get it though. Regards :angel:
Of course I could also have flash stock firmware again but I needed a simple solution to use the media I had available at that moment, only two Note 8 (mine and my wife's to extract the apk) and little 3g signal (when I had) to find a solution.
I appreciate the recommendations after having solved the problem but the object of my post was to thank for the help, the rest are anecdotes.
