Acer Z3 - help needed - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
I'm looking for someone to help me with Acer Z3 (z130) phone.
There was OTA update on saturday which left me with bricked phone.
I boot ok, I can go to recovery but that's it.
There is no update image available to re-flash it - even acer support can't provide me with it.
There is option to do backup from app on the phone which save apps and data to a file on sd card.
I'm asking for someone to backup apps (not contacts or anything like that) and upload to some box or dropbox so I could try to restore it to my phone.
Acer agreed to "repair" phone but in the same time told me that any software issues are chargeable .
Any help welcome.
Tom

Sorry, but I am not quite sure what your problem is.
You have installed an app or a widget which needs to access your contacts, and you deleted this access?!
Then you should try to un-install the app / widget and re-install it again.
Or has an app or widget deleted (your access to) your contacts?!
Then you should delete this app / widget, and restore your contacts from a backup (Google, KIES, etc.).
Good luck !
The problem is that if you change the rom, the phone gives me problems, for me ejmplo delete access to my contacts photo favorites, also when I download some applications market, will not let me install, it tells me package file ... not valid.THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
give us deletes about your phone.
go to settings-phone and give us details about your model and currebt rom version.
I have a feeling you maybe trying to flash a rom that is not meant for your version of the phone.
my phone had 2.3.3 android I9100BVKH1 ORIGINAL ORANGE SPAIN, I updated with the orange android 2.3.5bvkj4 kies, but not if something went wrong because my phone started giving problems, then install all types of roms and even Cyanogen, but continues with these things, market release applications and some say I can not install the file package is not valid .... so here install from the original orange spain and now I have the android 2.3.5, version i9100bvkj4 base band, Kermel i9100bvkj4-2.6.35.7-cl681297roor @ dell135 # 2, gingerbread.bvkj4 compilation. but everything remains the same friends, and when you connect it to kies, tells me that I can not update! think it messed up because I still have my original efs. thanks for your help! I hope someone of solution, if not take him to the technical service, because I'm desperate now.
As you have no warranty after installing custom roms your best solution is to start from a clean phone .
Download stock firmware for your phone and Odin ,
Backup data .
Boot phone to recovery go to Mounts and Storage Format cache data system and sd card .
Remove battery replace and go to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
If it then needs warranty service use usb jig to reset custom rom counter .

[Q] bootloader unlock password- Huawei G630-U00

hello,
I couldn't find any other forum to discuss about this version of Huawei mobile phone. I really need help since the last legitimate EMU update ruined the whole system and now my new mobile phone that I have never had a chance to use it is like a trash device... I hope someone here can help me to recover it since i tried all ways I found on internet.
I bought this mobile from China and bring it to Europe. Since I wanted to remove some chinese default software (that wasn't basic software but really annoying), I used an app and rooted the mobile phone. so I removed some of chinese stuff and installed some of good software. Everything worked fine and I tested skype and I had high resolution picture with 8 Mega pixel camera. I tested all its functionality and it was really good...
I noticed that there is a new legitimate update for this OS, since I still didn't have any sd memory, I couldn't have a backup of this old system and this was a big mistake...
anyway... I let it do the legitimate update for EMU... but immediately after reboot, I noticed that Camera and bluetooth are out of functions... so I first thought the problem is with bluetooth configuration but I was wrong since the internal memory was read only and no longer available.
I formatted the internal memory via computer (the part which was available) but no luck... I bought a sd card and changed the storage from internal to external but this didn't help to function bluetooth and camera...
I had a back up from /system/apps and then removed manually the bluetooth.apk and also its odex file. then restarted the system, clear dev cache and tried to install bluetooth.apk again. but I received error message and couldnt' do that. so again I copied those file back to its location.
So bluetooth turns on now, can send signal but for receiving or sending file, it fails, It can also pairs with other device.. So I thought it should be something related to permissions. I again checked the bluetooth permissioin on /etc/permissions/platform.xml and notice they are ok.
I changed the permission of storage and added the external storage to the list and added group storage_rw.
but this also didn't solve the problem with camera and bluetooth.
several times reset to factory mode didn't solve the problem...
I tried to hack the bootloader but I could not unlock it... I sent all information to [email protected] and asked them to send me bootloader password and provide them with all detail information about the device and accepted that the device is out of warrant but I received no response...
I installed "safe system remover apps" and after having backup of Gallery2.apk, I uninstalled it (it is related to camera and all gallery information)... but with no luck I could install it again...
So, I am really hopeless now since I don't know whatelse I can to do... the system doesn't functioning and I need to load on it the custom ROM but the device only can go to fastboot and cannot load the recovery mode anymore and factory reset from the UI is only reset the mobile to fastboot without doing anything else.
I tried to run the factorymode.sh from the device but I receive error messages to access some files such as bluetooth parameters/power
I couldn't myself find this file on the directory that it looks for.
I would really appreciate it if you can tell me any way that I can unlock the bootloader from the device (because outside of the device I tried different applications but with no luck...)
I have a cutom ROM for G630-U20 (not exact version for this device but almost similar) and if I can have a bootloader password I can try this one or any other customized ROM.
I would appreciate any way that you can show me to solve the problem.... either by changing permissions to solve this problem.
Thank you.

Lenovo A916 please help :/

Hello, guys, some days ago my phone broke, and I bought for my partner and me the Lenovo A916 from eBay. Unfortunately for us the phones came with a Trojans and spyware pre-installed and unable to delete them, at the start I panicked but after a while I read online that the only solution was to root the phone and remove the programs. As I am not a tech guy, I could only do it through a program like king root (as it is easy, a few clicks). While the Trojans and the spyware are gone, our phones seem to have many issues: random installation of apps, random adverts, SMS delay to arrive at the sender and sometimes to receive. Is there any way to install any good rom (If I am not mistaken that what's its called and you do it through Odin ?) can anyone help us please? I can't afford to get us a new phone.
Someone gave me a link on a rom for my phone, but I have no idea how to install it. Is there a link or place to see how to do it in the most secure way as I am a complete newbie?
Anyone? A link or something
Also any lollipop rom for my case guys?

Need stock apps from android 4.1.2

So I have a tablet of some Polish company called Overmax. The model is Solution 10+. I needed to speed it up so i planned to flash the original firmware again. But it was impossible as i couldnt find it. It might be a clone of some chinese tablet but I don't know which one. :/
Anyway i decided to root it and delete some stock apps but I probably deleted too much (even stock contacts.apk) beacuse when entering facebbok or messenger gives me an error "android.process.acore stopped working". I saw some posts saying that I should clear storage contacts data but it didnt help. Probably beacuse I don't have the proper apks to begin with...
So if anyone could provide me with these i'll be thankful (mainly contacts.apk and maybe sms apk)
The tablet is rooted atm so it wouldnt be a problem to replace them.

Unable to save contacts / sync contacts

Hey,
i am owner of an Cube iPlay10
It comes with stock Android 6.
No Contacts app pre Installed.
Tried to Install Google Contacts App (and other) but i cannot save any contact.
Eventough i have poeple added in my google account, its not syncing them to the tablet.
I have no system application called "contact storage" installed. Either there is no way to install it as an apk afterwards, or i need root!?!
And that will be another problem i guess...
Can you guys help me out?
I have done a video of it on YT for better understanding...
https://youtu.be/7z8CVLxNVBw
Sorry for bad english, i am not a native speaker.
Regards
Did you ever solve the issue? I also have an Iplay10 and I am facing the same problem...
Nope! Wanet to root it to store contacts storage.apk to /app and bricked it i guess!
You bricked it? During the rooting or afterwards when you moved contacts to the system app folder? Mind explaining more how it happened?
I rooted mine by using Magisk, it works fine but I'd really like to get contacts working...
I bricked it while using flash tool. Now its not responding. Only when pluged to the Computer, the PC recognizes a device. Thats all.
Try to find a apk called contacts storage in marshmallow version 6.0 and lut it in system/app folder. Reboot and it should install this apk. This app is missing in system apps so iplay cannot save your contacts.
If it still responds when plugged to computer, you should probably be able to reflash official rom and root it. I followed exactly the steps in that video to root mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcxOFz7CR-I
The video creator has links for all the files, and even the official rom.
Would you happen to have a link to that contacts storage app? Did you hear this from someone else who has an Iplay10 and solved the issue?
i did it with help of this exact video.
smtg went wrong i guess
i have complete rom, preloader all the stuff with scatter file and everything checked in sp flash tool, but when i connect the phone, only a bing appears. SP Flash tool is showing no response. when i unplug the tablet, then sp brings the usual error.
i will oen up a new thread i guess.
try oneof these and tell me if it worked out for you.
https://android-apk.org/com.android.providers.contacts/
(lookout for marshmallow 6)
i have heard it from german android forum, and wanted to do just like that, but then bricked!
I found 2 in that list that were marked as Marshmallow compatible, but both failed upon install. They seem to be signed by specific manufacturers like samsung, etc... and given that they gave an error message upon normal install, I was reluctant to stick them into the system app folder. I don't have a pc handy to reflash or recover so I'm a little paranoid about bootloops/bricks...
Please let me know if you recover your tablet from that brick.
