i used SparkyRoot to root my prime and uninstall some apps. Now I have to send the tablet back to asus so I did a factory reset and unroot using SparkyRoot. however, the deleted apps are still missing and i still cant update my prime (with red triangle).
I have heard if i download the update file directly from asus will work but i dont know how to use the file. please help!
before you deleted anything
did you do any modification of the root directories? such as adding a boot screen animation? super charge? keyboard re-mapping?
if you did you have to restore those back to default manually or else it won't update your prime~

no i havent. i deleted asus music, library, google+ i think
any idea how to reset to original setting?
i think you're gonna need to find the apk to re-install the missing apps... cause i think the updater are seeing those apps being missing so its giving you an error
same thing happened to me bro. i was at awe as to why it didnt upgrade. what i did was i had to flash the factory image (.15) and then the ota worked. theres threads all over on how to do that. i upgrade to .21 but now my tablet wouldnt unlock. in terms of bootloader. did a factory reset and it worked.

A factory reset doesn't restore deleted apps. You'll need to reinstall the stock apk files that were removed as already mentioned.

I just downloaded the update and it's installing. My phone is displaying an exclamation point with an android next to it and has been for some minutes. Is it suppose to take a long time?
I didn't time it but approximately 15 minutes including download. I noticed it rebooted twice.
Well then my phone got screwed because it's still frozen with the exclamation point. =S What to do now!?
pop the battery out of it.. and it should boot fine..
If you did the webtop mod undo it before doing the update...
i had the same problem but i decided to wait and then it went in to recovery mode... in recovery mode it was trying to install update but for me it says the installation aborted.. i dont know wht to do....
I had to defrost all of my frozen apps to get past that and update. The exclamation screen means the install failed because you need to undo any mods or freezes.

As a last resort, you can always SBF flash back to retail 1.2.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
Then aRoot your phone and follow this thread so you can keep your root after the update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013931
SBF Flash back is most definitly the last thing on my list..so i'm going through /system/app and noticed that DockProvider.apk, PortalApp.apk & DockService.apk are the only ones missing the .odex files..i'm pretty sure this is where the problem is.
-----EDIT-----
FOUND THE SOLUTION!!..i hope..downloading DG's retail dump now..originals including .odex files should be in there. . . . Worked like a charm. Attached the files needed enjoy!

What would save alot of people from running into this situation would be to make a copy of your /system files with ADB before making any changes, that way, you will have your original files to push back onto the phone if anything goes wrong or in this case, need the original files back to do an update and avoid the whole SBF to retail step...
Glad it worked out for you
i modified some files and now my prime wont boot up. it satys on the asus loading screen. i am on locked bootloader rooted .14. how do i replace the files with adb? i made a copy of the files i made and renamed them wit .bak at the end. i tried holding power+vol down and then vol down and got an android with a red triangle. i then tried adb shell from the command prompt but it said device not found. can some one help? thanks.
no one? i guess ill just go to asus for help.

I had been fighting with the same exact problem for the past 2 days!
I just fixed it by downloading the .21 firmware from Asus and renaming the extracted file EP201_SDUPDATE.zip. Manual update method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570696&page=13 post 128.
I am now up and running and if I can get adb going again I will do the downgrade and root. I probably will not mess with the build.prop for a while. Good Luck

You probably know already but remember to unzip the downloaded file and rename the zip within.

Give this a try. Worked for us
did this delete your camera pics and videos? i did that last time and i lost my pics. but it was probably because i had done a factory reset before i tried this thinking that would fix it. but this shouldnt touch those files because its like an update right?
I can`t say 100% because I also did a factory wipe first. But I`m pretty certain it is just a manual update and you should be ok.
thanks alot bro. it worked and my stuff is still there.
Glad it all worked out! Enjoy

I tried this method by renaming the zip from within the extracted file and put in on a microsd card then i rebooted into system recovery and got the android with the red ex, so i rebooted but it goes back to the black screen after the epad logo and never forces the update. Any suggestions?
Hello,
I am in a big fix now,
I cleaned a bunch of files with Titanium Backup and have have backups of the uninstalled apps which include my default gallery (I had another gallery app), Homescreen Launcher and some others.
By mistakenly I reset my phone to factory settings and now after resetting I cannot access any functions. Since I had deleted the launcher. I am having the files of the launcher though but since the phone has USB Debugging turned off and Google Account not set, I am not able to do anything!!
Please help me with this. Is there any update.zip kind of file to reinstall the launcher? I am using Motorola Fire XT311 which has locked bootloader so no Nandroids too :'(
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and waiting for earliest replies!!
you need to unlock your bootloader, custom recovery, and custom rom
or follow an unbrick guide for your phone

After you successfully rollback did you do your factory reset ?supposed to before reroot and all. At least go and wipe data for any app that fc.
Yes, I have factory reseted and still no luck. It is rooted through the toolkit with ota off.
Xposed?HDXposed? Tried reverse ota blocker? Any block or firewall at router ?which base Are you on?
I tried turning on the OTA with the .94 toolkit and then launching an episode. Still same error "We're experiencing a problem playing this video. If this problem continues, p lease contact Amazon Customer Service."There are no blocks on my router and my brother's HDX video works fine on the same network as me. (However he as not tried rolling back nor rooting. Any ideas? Should I try updating to the most recent version, I hear it can still be rooted.
Thanks in advance,
Thejohnsterr

No no this is fairly simple , you never told me which system you're on so just go grab the bin file that matches up with your system I believe you said you roll back to the 13.3.1.0 ? Simply grab that Bin file again put it on your device open file explorer and rename it .zip boot into safestrap boot into stock system wipe cache and a basic factory reset . Flash your renamed Bin file /a flashable version of superuser ie root. Boot , skip set up install xposed framework the HDXposed module initialize module reboot . Set your tablet up .Bam hope that helps.

Ignore that last comment, So I did exactly as you said and when I attempted to watch a video fresh after that factory reset I still get the error. Could it be possible that when I was editing that .prop file when rolling back I touched something I shouldn't have?

Because I had lost safestrap. I used the notepad find and replace function to change the user id and other values and I successfully rolled back. When I rolled back I didn't have Amazon instant video so I let it roll back to the most recent version 13.3.2.3.2 to try to fix it, which didn't work. That is when I asked for help.
wow

Hello all, I have discovered that my note 20 has been infected with a malware that locks the screen at start. I cant open any apps or settings to enable usb debugging. The KG state is locked and the OEM lock is on as well. I tried sideloading another package but had no luck. What's my best bet to removing the malware from the system apps. I was thinking that I could sideload my own app that would remove it but I don't know any apps like that.

It's reverts to the original factory load.
So you loaded infected firmware?
Samsung did?
Incomplete description on your part.
What apk?
Was it scanned with online Virustotal?
