This is my first post here so please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area or if this has been addressed before. I searched the forums and didn't seem to find anything related.
I have several rooted Android devices. Today I was installing some apps to my wife's phone from my Google account. Upon deleting her Accounts.db file I noticed the entire document was in Chinese while my phone was in English. I've done this process before and I don't recall the files on her phone being in Chinese at that time. We both have the Note 3. Upon adding my account to her phone I went back in to check the remade file which again was in Chinese. Even after deleting my account and adding hers back the remade file remains in Chinese. I notice this on our tablet now too. The Accounts.db-journal file is also in Chinese on these devices but still in English on my personal device. I checked some other files on each device which are all in English. I factory reset our tablet and rooted again just a few days ago so I can't imagine a virus causing this but it does seem strange. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
Can anyone validate whether or not this is normal? Should these files be in English or Chinese or is it normal to be both?
Thanks in advance for any info!

I just got my Atrix yesterday, I seem to have the issue where it wont successfully log in to google talk which also means that I cant download apps. I've tried making a new account which also failed to work. Are there any ideas out there for how I could fix it?
Can anybody help me?
I had the same problem and figured out that it was Droid Wall keeping Gtalk from connecting. Make sure Talk can access the network freely.

After cloning a samsung gio s5660 through a CWM backup I started experiencing the same issue. Heres What REALLY happens.
Google authenticates you in their services trought unique "keys" which are automatically generated upon system installation / factory reset, so if you clone your device or install a rom which has these "keys" pre-installed, obviously, your rom will only autheticate you in google servers if your phone is the only one using the service at that given time... Upon failure, your phone assumes to be the one who's wrong, and google servers won't autheticate you until you either tell your phone he is not wrong (by deleting the data from play store, which resets its status and errors) or you change the "keys". SO, what can we learn from this? deleting the play store data IS a temporary solution, and won't solve a thing. Let's delete the duplicated keys shall we?
Navigate with your favourite folder explorer on your android (I use X-plore, you can tell me anything, there's nothing better) to the following directory:
- "(root)/data/data/com.google.android.gsf"
Now you have two real options, either you may delete the all folder, which was the perfect solution for me, since my rom is prepared to re-create it upon phone restart and new keys will be generated, OR, you might want to just delete the contents of app_sslcache inside com.google.android.gsf whish are THE KEYS I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL TIME, YEEEIHHHH and reboot your phone...
Needless to say, take a nandroid backup before you do any of this...
Thank me later
For those who remember me from symbian s60v3 phones, yes, it is me, I'm back, and I've moved to the droid world, it's much better indeed
Let me just say, I have no idea why this thread was moved or resurrected. Whoever did so was about a year and a half too late. Please close/delete this thread.
Hi everyone,
First I am no expert, but I've been going through all possible forums for a solution to my problem with no easy solution. I've cracked my screen on my Samsung SII i9100 (current firmware version: I9100JPKG2/I9100OJPKG1/I9100XXKF1/I9100JPKG2 DBT). I have replaced the Firmware once a year ago through Odin as I needed to access different languages no available on the original firmware. I think it is not rooted! If it is then it wasn't intentional . Now I am trying to send it for repair. The phone still connects to USB and Kies and through it I managed to delete all contacts, pictures and media. I accessed the internal memory and cleaned up all folders I previously placed on it, but didn't have the guts to go further through what looked like system or application folders.
Now I need to wipe all the account data, memos, and applications. Since I have no visibility, I tried a hardware factory reset like 5 times but it never worked, I've confirmed that. Read a couple of times about something called "adb" and how I maybe can wipe such data through it, or maybe use my computer monitor as a screen! Despite a whole day of reading and downloading and trying stuff, didn't manage to get it right.
If anybody has a solution for this problem, please don't spare on details, flying blind is difficult
Thanks in advance
Hello everyone!
I have a chinese Android, which however much I tried I have not found the name (I understand it is a problem). The fact is that it fell into the my hands a couple of months ago and couldn't resist to play with it. I think accidentally deleted some system files as root. Since then it doesn't synchronize any service automatically. Althoug as it's Chinese I can not synchronize the GPS (I'm from Europe). To say that I've tried everything so I have de following question:
System Restore is not going to solve anything because as I said I deleted root files (besides I've already tried). Would it be possible to reinstall my original version of Android in some way? Taking advantage, could settle a Western version with the European GPS settings?
Thanks in advance!
Any help?
help please
Hello guys,
this is my first post on this forum (sorry for my poor English, I'll try to write my best), and I'd really like to ask you some advice about my situation.
I used to have an Android 2.3.3 device and Whatsapp installed on it, regularly updated (I still have it, but I'm not using it).
Almost a month ago I bought a new device, with Android 4.4.4 installed, and I immediately put WhatsApp on it.
Before removing SD from the old phone, i saved my backup file OLD.db.crypt8, in order to let the "new" whatsapp restore my messages. Unfortunately, a month passed before i could be able to think about restoring my old messages.
Thus, i have accumulated (?) a month of messages, and i "backup-ed" them in a MIDDLE.db.crypt8 file.
I already managed to decrypt the "middle" db.crypt8 file (extracting the key file from my android 4.4.4), but don't know how to decrypt the OLD.db.crypt8 file.
OLD, in fact, comes from Android 2.3.3, as said, and i got no key file
My final goal is, after decrypting all three databases (OLD, MIDDLE and "NEW" - provided that NEW is the database i'm "growing up" on my phone at the moment), merging the three databases in an only database (and this is possible with the XDA guide i already have read)
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much
Up! Please help
No chance for me?
I have no idea how a virus found its way inside of my Archos 55 platinum phone, i searched online and saw that many people had the same virus as me on the same phone model and now i want to install a costum Rom on my phone and make it clean and i cannot find it as the archos guys wont release one
about the virus:
*It automatically installs google play apps on my phone and launches them.
*it has been appended to the android settings app so i could not delete it with malwarebytes
*I have tried factory reset but it wont be removed
*I have already rooted the phone in the hopes of removing it with root access but apparently nothing can remove the settings file
so i have turned up to you guys for advice on how to remove it (FYI: everything is on the table guys)
Sorry if i posted on the wrong forum or anything, i made an account solemnly for posting about this particular problem
If no one can help me removing it can someone please tell me what rom usually works with almost all android phones as i already said there is no rom available for my phone model
