I found myself in the wrong forum trying to install the wrong stuff yesterday. I found a thread for custom fingerprint scanner icons on the sgs5. I followed the directions to install the one I liked to the T. Including making a backup of the original file. Unfortunately, it wasn't the G900T. I rebooted, and got a VERY persistent "com.android.systemui has stopped" message, and couldn't do anything. So I booted to the factory recovery, and performed a Factory Reset.
Long story short....... The Factory Reset deleted the original Keyguard.apk, and I need a new one. Could someone please upload it for me, so I don't have to Odin the whole Firmware?
I've read, and learned a lot here at XDA, but this is my first call for HELP!!!!!!
EDIT: I forgot to mention. The phone is rooted, but still using Stock Rom. The file is located in root\system\priv-app.
My new phone is rendered useless until this issue is resolved.
Mod. Please delete thread
To anyone that looked at this thread, and at least thought about maybe helping out. Thanks. Decided to just flash TWRP recovery, and Custom Rom. All is well now.
You really didn't need to flash a rom for it.
You could have just downloaded one of the stock roms and copy that one file out that you needed.
Glad you found a resolution.
Seeking help here usually invokes a need for a certain amount of patience.. after all, not everyone can read every post in every sub forum every day. It can take a few days to fill a random request even on a busy site like XDA.
Don't ask me how long requests need to season for niche topics on smaller forums..

Yes. I agree. I thought I'd keep the stock ROM on this one, and just modify a few things on it. But since I needed to flash a ROM anyway, I just decided to go with a custom one again.

I understand that, and wasn't expecting anyone to jump. I just know this is the best place to look for help. As i said in the op. This is my first call for help. I always search as much as possible before posting. Even though I no longer need it. I appreciate you taking the time to get the missing file for me.

Ok, so I've tried to do my own research and have come up with very little. It took me about a year to figure out what rooting actually meant and did. So I rooted my SGS vibrant and flashed a bionix rom (i think). It says "bionix shut down sequence initiated" or something like that when I turn it off (any ideas on what it is or how I can find out). I really have no idea what version it is. I also would like to put a new rom on my phone but am scared ill screw it up. I watched a youtube video that told me how to do it the first time I flashed anything. It works with a few random screw ups but KILLS my battery. I would really like for someone who knows more than me to explain what a nandroid backup is and how to do one. What the clockwork rom manager can help me do. What the one click lag fix did. Why my computer won't read the storage things on the phone when connected to the phone anymore. What is this odin thing. What is a kernel. will I still get the ota updates without the stock rom. Where did my stock rom go when I pushed backup before I flashed this rom in the rom manager app. Did I actually wipe all the original data from the phone. Why can't I restore boot animation with one click lag fix(it says somethings not found... Did I wipe/delete it?). What is an apk and sdk(or skd)? What is a voodoo lag fix. How many times can you flash beer something goes wrong. I'm really new to ALL of this and have had no help really when I've asked a lot of people who apparently know more than I. ANY help from ANYONE who knows ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Almost all of those questions can be answered by reading the Tips and Tricks or Noob Guide threads. Those two threads have given me all the info I've ever needed for the Vibrant.

Theres a lot of questions in there so I'll just bite off a few at first. Before that, have you taken a look at the vibrant bible thread in the dev forum? It covers a lot of the basic ' how tos '.
Firstly, you can possibly see what version of bionix you are running by looking under settings - about phone - build number. now might be a good time for you to odin back to stock and start fresh. Odin is a program that runs on your pc and can safely install a rom on top of any lag fix you may have enabled. You can read about using odin to go back to stock in the vibrant bible thread I mentioned earlier. Once you go back to stock you can receive ota updates from tmo if that's what you want or you can reroot and flash another custom rom. If you choose to flash another rom I would recommend reading every post on that rom's thread so you can learn from other's experiences. I would also recommend you keep reading the bible thread, theres a ton of good info there.
Good luck.

Dude, THAT is why I do those stickies, thank you! So glad it helped man!
That was really helpful, thank you and I will be looking into this more little by little. But I also have 2 very specific questions:
1. Is it possible to turn an htc windows phone into an android phone?
2. will I lose everything if I push the flash clockwork recovery in the rom manager app? I haven't done it yet but everything I've read has told me to do it the first time. I have the bionix rom running and don't remember flashing the clockwork recovery thing EVER. have I messed up or can I just do it whenever? And is it true thats how you make a nandroid backup because thats what I've read.
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out, and being patient with me. You guys are the reason I love android. Thank you from your very lost, slowly learning, new friend.

Depends on the phone, many do have android roms available. Just look up whatever windows phone you have in the forum section and if there has been some android development there will most likely be a section in the thread devoted just to android development.
You need to odin back and start from new

OK First and foremost i would like to say Thank You XDA Developers, you have helped me figure out ALOT about my phone.
First lets just say I'm a noobie at this (aren't all beginners?) and i did try the search function but couldn't find anything . if someone does find, please link me too it, it will be greatly appreciated.
OK now back to the problem, the thing im trying to do is install a custom ROM onto my HTC Raider LTE from rogers, i have rooted/unlocked/ installed CWM recovery on it and my phone is S-ON. this is where things get difficult for me, i don't know where to go from here, i have already downloaded DarkRaider_v1.5.0 and virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2 just to see which one is better but i do not know what to do with these files. i have booted from recovery and installed from zip but i guess that's not right cuz i tried it three time and had to re-install the stock rogers ROM 3 times due to it Boot looping. Thanks in advance and sorry for any annoyance i may have caused
You did a full wipe/factory reset before install the ROM?
Anyways, post this thread in the device's forum, where will help you much better.
Yea i did that and thanks i will move this thread
Ok, first of all I am NEW to all of this. I have read and read and read for the past month, and finally got the urge to fix my phone myself. It is a att gs2 i777. The guy I got it off of had it flashed to a i9100 for some reason, and of course the 2 buttons and mic did not work. I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 to return the phone to factory settings. I flashed the
The kernel + rooted UCKH7 system package first and had trouble with google framework errors not letting me set the phone up. So then I flashed the Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package and viola! The phone set up just fine, all buttons work and voice on my calls work!
My main question is why does during the boot up screen or in the odin download screen it still shows the phone as a i9100? Or should I not worry about it? Also now that the phone is back to factory it will not go into recovery mode. I would like for it to have the latest update, but not sure what my next step would be.
I was going to try myself so I read that I need to flash the SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3 into Odin..I tried and it did not pass. I am using Odin3 v1.7 by the way.
I appologize if these are stupid questions, I am just trying to learn and felt like I have tried everything that I have read. Thanks for all of the help guys!

Read the stickies. They will explain all of that. Except maybe the i9100 thing. That means someone flashed custom firmware on it through Odin. Also, only stay on this site or you wont get any help

Buddy I have read the stickies.....I would not be asking these questions if I had not read and tried a few things first. Maybe I have read over what I needed to and didn't know it, because like I said I am NEW to all of this. I feel the time I have spent reading and researching this "new language" that I have began to somewhat understand more than I thought I ever would. Like I said I have read and read and read for the past month, I think I deserve to ask a few questions that I need help with. I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "only stay on this site or you wont get any help". This is the only site that I have been reading from, with anything that I needed to know. I tried to join androidforums a while back and it was full of rude people who treated anyone that was trying to learn anything like complete idiots. You have to ask some questions sometimes in order to learn. Thanks for your help on the i9100 issue, under About Phone it has now changed to i777, but I think in a couple of places it still thinks its a i9100. Atleast it is working now, I am better off than when I started I guess.

Hi Guys, I had previously been using resurrection remix rom for a few months, worked fine...
I wanted to go back to stock so i downloaded the latest stock vodafine firmwirm from sammobile:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100T&pcode=VAU&os=1&type=1#firmware
EVENTS: I cleared cache and davlik cache and tried doing the process through clockwork recovery, which obviously failed because I forgot that you needed to get into recovery.
So I turned off my phone, loaded the resurrection rom and went back to that.
The next day I reread the procedures and did it properly via recovery through odin, I have tried this with 2 different firmwares and they both finished with a pass but get stuck at the same point.
PROBLEM: It doesn't get past the glowing S logo.. with either firmware, branded or unbranded.
Please helppp!!!!
Bump!
updated, could someone please help

Boot into recovery, wipe/factory reset ? If you can't manage that Bootloop thread.
Hint - Thread titles like 'Help !' tend to get you the exact opposite of what you're looking for.
Extra hint - That you didn't know how to do a factory reset suggests to me you should read the Guides and learn basics before you end up adding your phone to the Great Wall of XDA.
Hint 3 - Do not bump a thread after 21 minutes ever again. If I catching you doing so, I will make it my life's work to have you thrown off here permanently. People here have lives. There's not 478 people sitting around doing nothing just waiting to answer questions from people who didn't RTFM within 5 minutes of them posting a question :-/ What people like you need to understand is, many people who used to answer questions here have either sold their S2's & moved on (or moved on for various other reasons *cough*). There is simply not the same number of people around to help bozos who get in over their heads.

Well i appreciate your help, but just so you know, I didn't bump the thread after 21mins I tried deleting an update that I made yesterday as I didnt want to create another thread and didn't find a delete option so just changed the content to bump...
Read and ye shall learn.
Hey I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II I9100, at first everything was fine, but i had some trouble installing apps so i used es file manager to install them, it began to work for some apps. anyway, this morning I woke and turned it on and it didn't get past the bootscreen(i left it for about 45 minutes on one occasion, and I tried rebooting many times.
The first thing i did after attempting to boot my device was to flash the kernel again via odin, this did not work(tried twice).
so i did a lot of research over the past 10 hours into my problem and have tried many different things; installing a stock rom, removing battery, pretty much anything on the forums that people said have worked. nothing.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode.
I don't care about my data on my phone, it has already been wiped.
It's still covered by warranty so i can wipe the flash count(?) and send it in for warranty IF I HAVE TO. preferably not however.
although i highly doubt it, I may have been using the wrong rom, and I may have forgotten to reset my phone before one of the re-flash's
So if you havn't figured out my question by now, how do i return my phone to working condition?
Don't get mad at me for making a thread that has probably been made a hundred times, none of the solutions in the other threads fixed my problems, and I was browsing not only xda but other forums for hours, I found that reason enough to post a new thread. Apologies if this is in the wrong section, I am new here, and never found it necessary to create an account until now, when I couldn't find a solution.
Help is appreciated, this problem is really rustling my Jimmies on Christmas day.
because this is such a problem, I will REWARD anyone who presents a working solution that does not involve sending it off for warranty or buying a jig. Sorry if i missed out some information, please request for missing info in a response.
1.forget about warranty and jig....that has nothing to do with your current situation.
2.post the details about your phone and what firmware your on and what crap you were flashing.
Maybe a simple reset/wipe in stock recovery is needed.

originally i was on ics 4.0.3, and i used this tutorial galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/ (can't post url link because im a new user) and this kernel by the file name "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar". I then searched for stock roms for it and got "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KP8-v5.2-CWM5.tar" and "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.tar"
If you want a stock rom go to Sammobile,join(so you can download).....then input smartphone>android>your phone model>your country/carrier.
Choose whatever 4.0.3 it recommends after you input the above and hit send.
Then flash that with Odin and see what happens.
Then report back here.
I am from Australia and when I searched for roms for the I9100, no Australian roms showed :s
would one from another country work, or would that be locked or...?
Theres 3 listed for starters for the plain gt-i9100.....is that your exact model....or is it p/g/m etc.
This is why I asked for your model.
gt-i9100 is my model that's all it said in my phone information in the settings (before it stuffed up), manual, on start up and in download mode.
sorry, I'm not excellent with my technical android terminology.
false alarm, it just didn't load properly before, I will start a the download (will take like 15 minutes) and report back when i flash it. gt-i9100 is definitely my model.
You just input which one of these 3 applies,hit send,then download.
Then flash it (the extracted file)in download mode with Odin.
so i put the extracted file in the 'PDA' field, put it into download mode, plug it in and start the process?
Yep.
It failed the first 2 tries, I think I have a bad usb cord, but worked the third, might of been what stuffed it up in the first place maybe (?), thank you so much for your help man
Good.Wait til boxing day til you flash siyah-s2.v.4.1.5 kernel for root.......lol.
hehe... yeah... I'm not going to try root again... lol
