I have the same phone and model,the Y625-U21. Many weeks ago,I renamed accidentally the system file "framework-res.apk" and it won't boot until I will flash the ROM. You must do that to recover the apks. What's the problem? The phone was launched on July. There's no ROM of our phone on the whole internet and Huawei doesn't provide it. So we are without a functional phone until there's a ROM.

Exactly...
If your sister's phone is the Y625-U21 too and works,you can dump the ROM and flash it on your phone so it will work again
You have to install the phone and contacts app from the same version of the phone on the same exact update. You can not install the apps just by clicking on them, you need to use a root enabled file manager and move them to the /system/app folder and set the permissions to 0644 - rw-r-r.

I have found a couple people that have frozen or removed apps and are starting to get issues with their contacts. Not being able to remove, add, update, or anything with them. So I am posting a zip file off all of the apps for people that have removed them without backing them up. You simply need to restore the app that you removed which is most likely a yahoo contacts or email that is tied into the contacts. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2VU48HSU
Great resource this. I was going to post mine up soon, but you beat me to it. Only had my X2 for a day.
Do you restore these with titanium backup? Because I backed up the bloat ware and later tried to restore it to no luck. However the apps were frozen when backed up so perhaps that caused an issue?
I don't think titanium backup is good at restoring. I've tried it a couple times with no luck. if you place a copy of the zip file extracted on your sd card and open it with files select the application you want to install you can install it from there. I personally only like titanium backup for freezing the application I don't use and cannot remove.

Just use root explorer and place them in system/data or push through adb.
Reboot after you place them there.

Sorry, I'm rather new to this whole root thing. I uninstalled backupassistant with Titanium backup and my contacts got screwed. I downloaded the zip and tried to install Backupassistant.apk but it says "application was not installed". Is there a specific way that I need to reinstall? Root explorer does not allow me to change permissions from read only for "system" so I can't move the apk files in there.

Check and see if you are rooted first. You cannot install system files as a normal app. They must be pushed to system/app or placed there using root explorer. Check and see if you are rooted or that you superuser has blocked root explorer.

Edit Below
I think I know what your talking about, follow Nitros instructions but when you are at the starting folder in Root Explorer press the Mount R/W button, I believe as long as you stay in the program (or don't press back too many times, because if you are at the base folder and press back it will go back to R/O) any folder you go into will say "R/W" at the top. So just press the button when its available and THEN go into the folder you need to go to and the setting will stick.
Edit: actually I just was messing with my phone and the reason I saw that behavior is because I was in the SD card where its always R/W. If its not showing up then yeah I'd listen to Nitro on this one, though I have no idea how you got rid of Backup assistant without root.
So I just copied the app list you posted onto my phone and now its in a boot loop. I thought that when I copied all of them over it would let me choose to not replace files already there. Now the phone is in a boot loop.
This may sound stupid, but I am kinda hoping its reinstalling the apks, one with each boot? But I kinda have a sneaking suspicious that I just ruined my phone since there is no SBF
Also, the boot times before restarting are not consistent, does this mean anything?

If you are in a bootloop but all of your apps are still in place there is a slight chance that you could do a factory reset through recovery and the phone will boot.

Yeah I am rooted with gingerbreak 1.2. As of now Im not really concerned with the contacts anymore because I can still add and save new contacts. My concern now is that when the OTA Gingerbread update is out for the X2, will I be able to install it without the original Bloat.

Yeah my office tech support guy took a look at it and tried it, we got an error indicator icon when we tried. I don't think it finished copying, I think everything dying killed the copy process and left something important unfinished.
Now I am a little wiser for my new phone.

So I'm guessing the only way to get these programs reinstalled is if the SBF is available for the X2, which it is not?
I deleted my the Phone.apk file on my rooted Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1CWY/XAA) running the stock rom awhile back to save on battery life.
I have done the same thing on my Nook Color, and figured that it wouldn't cause any problems, as the Player isnt a phone.
Recently tried to record some video, and found I was unable to do so. After doing some research I found out that deleting phone.apk causes the stock camera app, but not 3rd party camera apps, to stop functioning.
While I was sure to backup the file when I originally deleted the file, the backup has been lost in the intervening months.
Do I just need to find a specific phone.apk file for my device and return it to the correct directory?
I assume a factory reset will solve the problem, but I would rather not try that unless I have to.
Thanks!
a factory reset will not solve the problem, since it was a system .apk it will reset everything except for that particular apk.

In which case do I need to track down a copy of that specific apk or will I need to download odin and perform a full recovery?
put back the phone.apk file back on your device. Go to a ROM(best if its that ROM you are using) Find the phone.apk, and take it out. Then transfer it into your device, and use Root Explorer or something and put back phone.apk.
i dont think that will work because i uninstalled the screencapture.apk from my 5.0 and i backed it up so i tried to reinstal and it would not let me... but try aznflawless' way first if not you may want to flash a stock based rom...

I tried looking in various roms before, but they were all formatted for flashing with odin.
I should have just went straight for the cwm package. *slaps forehead*
Thanks so much!
i shall try that sir thanks
As others said... find the phone.apk... preferably from the same rom you are using... use RootExplorer and copy the phone.apk to the system/apps folder. Change the permissions to match the other apps in that folder... reboot and you are good to go.
For your future reference, it is not a good idea to delete system apps without knowing what they actually do... I think you made a real good guess since phone.apk should not be on a device that is actually not a phone by function. For example, the Android Market app is actually called phonesky.apk or vendor.apk... nothing like what you would normally guess it to be, such as market.apk or something to that matter. So if I were you and I wanted to keep using my device and not brick it, I would becareful what I delete out of /system and it's sub folders...
Good luck...

Hi everyone,
Ever since I use a self modded systemui.apk from an already modded apk, I am getting the android updating popup every time I restart the phone.
I see this message before, that is when I do the rooting stuff but it only shows up during the first boot.
Is that normal?
Besides that message, everything seems to work well.
Thanks

Which file should I remove?
I googled around and found several post about it.
Some say about removing titanium backup odex from data/app folder (or generally other odex files), reinstall titanium backup, clear dalvik cache and another one is deleting com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar from framework folder
I done all of those with the exception of titanium backup odex as I don't have those. I did reinstall titanium backup though and that jar file I didn't remove it using adb but simply delete it.
None fix it lol.
Hey guys!
I am new here and this is my first thread
I am having a big problem. I already had installed Xposed Installer. 1 week before a error appeared that unfortunately Systemui has stopped and when I rebooted my mobile systemui(status bar, recent apps etc.) was lost. I removed that systemui from the system folder and put the systemui of which I recently had made a backup but still it did not work My system is odexed and there is not any file naming systemui.odex. I think this is the problem but I don't know that how this file was deleted. I have tried all the things but none worked :'( I also tried putting systemui.apk and systemui.odex of another device in my mobile but it also did not work. I am having backup rom of my mobile but I don't know how to flash as I don't have CWM or TWRP installed.
PLzzzzzzz help me how can I restore my SYSTEMUI.
I am using GFIVE BRAVO A5 running android 4.2.2. My phone is rooted.
ODEXED
You mentioned in your post that you had an odexed rom installed, what did you use to flash that rom?
What device are you having this problem on?
Stock Rom
I haven't flashed my rom. I have stock rom installed and stock rom is odexed.
Stock rom installed
I haven't flashed my rom. I have stock rom installed and stock rom is odexed.
I am having this problem in my mediatek device namely GFIVE BRAVO A5 running JB 4.2.2. I am having 3.5 inch device.
I'm not familiar with the brand of the device and the searches I have looked around for don't seem too legit to me, so all I can say is to search around and find something that can help, perhaps an update to the device that might contain it or a full of backup of the phone wich contains the files you are looking for. Other than that all I can say is to try a factory reset and don't mess with your devices system folder unless you know what you're doing.
You can look at this for reference maybe: all-flash-file.blogspot.com
Hard resetted
I have hard resetted my mobile more than 10 times but still no effect took change
And the link you posted, when I opened it And clicked the download button, a message appeared saying that the link will be available for your IP in 24 hours.
Probably a hard reset wont work because a hard reset only resets the user data. In your case, its with the system. It is either you reflash stock rom or push a stock system ui and its odex file. :angel::angel::angel:

Ask around, there's bound to be someone with the same phone who will be willing to help. If not, go to your phone manufacturer's site and see if they have an android system update you can either upgrade to or extract to find the files you need. Good Luck

I use an LG Exceed 2 and like a month ago I went into superuser and deleted some android files which came with the system, I factory reset it and now it says "Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped." Is there a way I could recover those files at all? I went into Safe Mode and it said the same thing! Please help!
You will have to refresh the stock software.

You need to either reflash the system, or find TWRP flashable zip of your current OS, extract it and copy the items you deleted. Or you can try editing build.prop and change "ro.setupwizard.mode" value to "DISABLED". It might work after reboot

How would I do that?
maybe u deleted the setup files that we use after booting a new rom or killed the launcher.
Just copy the files u deleted by recovery or reflash ur built in rom.

do u have ur stock rom?
if yes..
Then..
1)extract your rom with any archiver software.
ex-winrar,zarchiver
for pc - winzip etc
(pro version recommended)
There's an app called setup wizard.
(it depends on your rom.
On samsung stock its samsung setup wizard, on cm its cyanogenmod setup wiz)
U will see something like that on your
rom/system/app or priv-app/here
copy that one to ur phone's root/system/app or priv-app
exactly where its located on ur stock rom.
(u need a root explorer software to put that in ur system)
Easiest way is find ur stock rom and flash it.
If u r new to this things,get help from somebody who knows.
