Hey Guys,
Hopefully someone can help me out here. I have a RMAed TF201 with JB bootloader which I just rooted with the new method. I used titanium to uninstall a bunch of bloatware and pre installed ASUS stuff that I didn't want. Yesterday I decided to do a factory restore and it works but leaves out a bunch of ASUS APK's that I removed with titanium. Now I'm unable to download ANYTHING with the browser or market. I get an error with android.process.media and the only way I can install APK's is using ADB. I figured that I would try to unlock and use custom ROMS to fix this but the unlocker tool gives me the network error that everyone seems to be getting. Here are a few questions hopefully someone can help me with:
Can I put the APK's that I deleted with titanium back in the the System/App folder? (Right now it's giving me a read only error)
Is there a way to download ASUS's recent firmware and have my system restore from that?
Is there anything I can do about the unlock tool that doesn't have me sending back my tablet to have my device unlocked.
Note** I'm familiar with ADB and willing to take any risk to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
Would anyone be kind enough to post screen shots of what is in /System/Apps/ ? And maybe links to DL the APK's?

Can't you just download the firmware again and follow the instructions to reinstall it ?

I've tried. Maybe i'm doing something wrong when I put it on the SD card? I left the zip file and I also unzipped it. The firmware update doesn't pop up. It looks like the provided file explorer is MIA too so I ADB install ES. I deleted alot of things tabbed with "ASUS" in Titanium, I hope i didn't really screw something up here.
Can someone please send me the basic system apps? I even think I removed the updater! Is there an APK for that? That might solve my issue.

i deleted my mms.apk and odex trying to use chompSMS instead of the vibrant stock mms. now i can't receive any text messages. Can anyone please show me where i can get the mms apk and odex files
I tried restoring my backed up MMS.APK in the sd/am folder but it doesn't install. its says "application not installed" could they be corrupt?
Any help will be appreciated. thank you.
Why would you delete the MMS.apk instead of just making ChompSMS the default messaging app and hiding the messaging icon?
Do you use Titanium Backup? If not you should start. Let me see if I can find the MMS.apk around. You probably can find it too if you searched around.
Otherwise I would just ODIN back to JFD. You know what ODIN is right?
Edit: Actually, search is disabled right now.. So I'll try later. Seriously, why did you delete MMS.apk LOL.
here
here are the apk next time shouldnt delete them its bad juju
thank you. does anyone know the steps to ODIN back to jfd? the apk still wont install

if u are rooted, u have to use something like root explorer to push it to system/app
or if u have adb set up properly, adb push it to system/app

Thanks for your help.

You can follow this guide:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...r-vibrant-and-return-to-stock-phone-pc-error/
It is very thorough. It seems like a lot but it is actually quite simple. Just read it and soak it all in. I use ODIN a lot and once you are use to it, it is as simple as a couple mouse clicks.
Okay,, I uninstalled something called inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of numbers or what not after) and it totally messed up my swype keyboard (continuously force closes). Can't for the life of me figure out how to restore it, can anyone please help? I know that titanium backup on sd has a zip of it and a properties (?) file of it, but can't find it in the list on the titanium app to restore it... Please help!!!

In your titanium folder, there is a long name apk file. You find the file that include your file name (removed). Rename it same as original and use root explorer copy back to /system/app.

search on forum and you`ll find a thread with ALL apk files from SE stock rom (sorry but can`t remember where but i think it`s under development section)
Thanks for such a quick response. I think you are.talking about this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
Well problem is I was.only able to download two .bin files and one .php, otherwise I get taken to a site that asks me to register (without letting me know if this will get me the file or not) and one says the file was removed... Or am I just too much of.a noob, lol?!
thanks again

Unfortunately I did download that package but it seems its not helping at all! Thanks though... I guess it may have been worth mentioning that my gmail app does the same thing... Like the keyboard, I can open it and see my mail, but once I try opening an email, force close (?!)... I also remember I removed system apps that were spelled in the com.inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of characters), because they looked like leftovers of system apps I no longer needed, now my dilemma is so huge that I just NEED to restore that functionality to my phone! Any suggestions??

which one you've downloaded?? xRecovery .zip file or System app .zip file?
you should download 2nd one....there you can find all the stock applications...just push the required missing application by ADB cmd or you can use mRush mode tool. which is very easier......
Am I gonna need my pc?? I have ADB, but was hoping I can fix it now. Im ready to reflash if necessary, but in doing this, am I safe if everything is backed up from before the problem with titanium? And if I have to do that, would it not make more sense to go for a 2.2 aosp like freex10 beta4 (or is there something better out yet)? Thanks!
I accidentally deleted phone.apk and phone.odex located in /system/app following circumstances that I won't explore here, and because of this, I no longer have mobile data connectivity. Now, I did offload phone.apk onto an external SD card before this happened, but phone.odex was lost, and now I need it back. Attempts at installing Phone.apk always end up failing with a message simply stating that Application was not installed, and trying to use adb to install it returned error [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]. I used the search engine to look for similar questions, but they all involve some sort of a custom ROM. The tablet is rooted and running stock ICS 4.0.3 (no custom ROMS for this device yet, as far as I'm aware). Is there any way to acquire the missing .odex file other than requesting someone with the same device to upload it here?
-SOLVED- found way to reinstall ROM

No, man. The only way to get proper .ODEX, is get it from from original firmware. I recommend you to request both phone.apk and phone.ODEX, to 100% avoiding version mismatch.
here is phone apk & phone odex apk :good::good::laugh:

I had v10e stock. Worked good.
Then rooted to 10a and updated with a cwm backup 10h.
And gps didnt work.... not that i use it alot but yeah sucks.... something i need it.
So cwm backups arent that great. Is cool but yeah. Costum roms are better. Still waiting for one.
Re: why gps doesnr work? just keep on searching..
Maybe the app you are using is the problem. Remove it, reboot then reinstall.
If this didn't solve it, do a reset. This will solve all your problems but before doubt this, user the stock backup app to backup your settings,sms and calls, home screen widgets, pre installed apps to sd card. but don't backup your downloaded apps.

Nvm got it.
Just takes long. And did a tweak in pimp my rom for gps. And now finds location still late but 1min somthing it finds gps.
Think pimp my rom did a bug and put wrong gps location.
Ow sinds some one awsners. Euh im on v10h and when the ota update comes i can directly update to v20b i mean i wont need to download the last update and then v20.
Hope i get the ota update soon i live in france. (To lazy to use kdz thing)
Re: why gps doesnr work? just keep on searching..
So you are still using ics. Can you please extract the power control widget .apk from your rom? And send it to me? I lost it. Together with the .odex file.
If your can of course.
Off topic.

Thanks a lot friend, but it's not working, i don't know why.
/system/apps/bootup changed permissions and reboot = not working
/system/app = not working
thanks though
it must be some compatibility issue, after all, it's from ics to jb.
so for everyone reading this on JB, do you have this issue?

i have a LINSAY F-7XHD tablet on 4.4.2 and while removing malware that came preinstalled from it i deleted the settings app with titanium backup. i did not back it up sadly because it was not the app the app i was intending to uninstall ):. there are no roms or recoveries for this device, and can't find a solution, would i be able to get the settings apk from a different 4.4.2 rom or is there any solution anyone can find or have had this happen and know of? i'm rooted but that's kind of already said? without settings the tablet is next to useless for real so id be forever grateful if someone could help me get settings back.
sorry for being a noob!!!

You're a bit unlucky, i found a firmware for the LINSAY F-10XHD, but not for the LINSAY F-7XHD, don't know what can be done, but i will give you two options:
1-Contact the company and ask them to send you a stock rom link
2-search google for anyone who have the phone and try to contact him directly and ask him to send you the settings.apk, it can be simply backed up without having root using file explorer like ES file explorer.
Sorry for lack of suggestions, but you said it yourself, it's an offbrand no name tablet.

i contacted them already and they insist i send the tablet back to them and pay more than the tablet is worth.
i found the firmware for the 10 too is there anyway i can extract the settings apk from the system image? i tried to already using something called ext4 unpacker but was unable to even open the img with it. i was thinking it may work or is at least worth a shot since its the 7 inches 10 inch counterpart and runs the same version. idk maybe the firmware i found was corrupt or the program is trash since its old. but anyways do u know how to unpack the system image so i can pull the apk? ... or have any other ideas lmao sry, thank you
i cant even find one someone i could ask tbh... so is there no way a settings app from like a different phones rom will work? ): appreciate your help

There is a guide here to unpack ext4 system image, but I'm not sure if the settings.apk from the 10 would work for you, you have to be aware that injecting a wrong incompatible apk in the system may cause a bootloap, which is worst than your current case, because you only recover from this by flashing stock rom which we didn't find, i will look around to see if someone have the tablet and we can contact him directly.
