so recap for simplicity:
Is there a link tutorial for the DURAFORCE KYOCERA or flashing? Factory or upgrade
I assume this is a YES, but deleting an app with Titanium backup makes it a perma delete, correct?
And finally Am I wasting my time with the factory reset (which I did from the menu but didnt restore the contacts app no luck), as it will probably not work?
thanks

Hmm ... really strange.
Maybe a problem with your Google account.
But disappearing system apps ... ?!
If you have got a recent system backup, then recover it.
If not, I recommend to re-install a stock ROM (flashing with Odin).
Do a hard reset after flashing.
Root your phone (e.g. flashing CF-Root kernel).
This should bring back the missing system apps.
Good luck !
Whit a hard reset, you mean a factory reset, right?
And no, no backups
there is no way to reinstall those apps?

Hard reset: Dial *2767*3855# into your phone.
This will wipe internal SD card!
EDIT:
Please do a full system backup in future!
I backup my apps with Titanium Backup (free app from the Market) and make a system backup with CWM Manager app (which is included in my CF-Root kernel).
i'll be sure to do that next time, i wanted to do a Nandroid backup after rooting, but i kept delaying it... until it was too late
i guess i can backup my user apps now with Titanium, or should i just start from blank with a stock rom?
flashing the stock rom will also bring back the stock kernel?

Yes, the ROM contains kernel, modem and CSC.
You can restore all user apps you have saved with Titanium Backup.
Do not restore any system app.
Just to be safe.

a nice twist of things today, i have read some info regarding this issue on the webz and i decided to uninstall facebook and google+... and what do you know, my apps r back and working perfectly
but anyway, i'll proceed with the stock rom flash, just to be on the safe side
I got a bootloop on my NT after trying to eliminate the white on white menus and had to do a factory reset.
Titanium is restoring my apps but every time it comes to a data file it shows a yellow lock, says it's "armored" and requires a password to continue.
I've never used encryption and never put in a password before.
Any ideas?
Anyone? Please.
unroot and start all over?
I can't. I'm afraid if I do that I won't be able to re-install all my apps and data with Titanium, because of the problem mentioned.

well if you are trying to restore apps using TB, the backups are on your sdcard right? so even if you factory restore, the content on your sdcard won't be deleted.
I've never heard of "armored" apps in TB. Contact the developer.... or just restore the apps without the data.
I think you missed my point. I did do a factory restore and my Titanium backups were on my SD card, but the data was password protected (I never put in a password) so couldn't be restored.

Hello. I just had the same issue and found this forum on it. I had bought the pro version of Titanium Backup and forgot that I selected the option to encrypt the backup. I just had to remember my passphrase and then it unlocked it. I know it's a year later than the original post, but I didn't see any solutions, so hopefully this helps somebody in the same spot.
Hii everyone,
I have a samsung galaxy nexus, and I recently been having a lot of problems with it. Programs crashing, contacts crashing, MMS keyboard coming up and not typing and so on.....
My question is this, is there anyways to go into the files and take out my APK files, so I can do a factory reset and just reinstall those files again?
In my NOKIA days, we always had a backup option, where I would back up the files, and then do a factory HARD reset. And then I would restore the files using the back up.
In case of the android, I have LOTS and LOTS of files, and I dont want to go and download them all.
Any advice from you guys would be appreciated.

WONT that back it up on my phone again? And if so, then when i quick restore my phone, wont I lose it all?
TB can make backups of your apps and their data, so you can restore it when you wish (obviously, you need install TB first ).

titanium backup backs up your files to the sd card. When you do a factory reset it only wipes your system partition so the sd card won't be affected. You can then reinstall titanium and restore all your apps and settings/data.
Hey guys,
I'm having issues with messaging apps on my virgin mobile S2. The issue came about the other day with the stock messaging app, where I would open any conversation, and when I go to close out of it, the app freezes and then gives the "unfortunately messaging has stopped". I tried clearing the cache in recovery mode and that has not helped. I have also tried downloading 2 new messaging apps and they are both having the same issue; freezing when I close out a sms conversation. Not really sure where to go from here. Do you think a factory reset would help? Also, is there any way to re-install the stock messaging app? I definitely did a system backup with Titanium Backup a while back, but the app is showing nothing as being backed up...and I foolishly deleted my messaging app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

As a general response to asking "Will a factory reset help?", it's best to make a complete nandroid backup, do the reset and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, you can always restore the back up.
Doing a reset will recover the default messaging app, so I'd recommend it in this case. Titanium backup should recover all your data, but be careful when recovering sms data, as there may be some corrupted messages which cause crashes.

Do I need to unroot before I do the factory reset?
Root will disappear automatically!
If you're using a custom recovery, it may not remove root, however.
I just did a factory reset. It did not seem to recover the default messaging app; seems it is lost and gone forever. I can't seem to find the apk anywhere online either.
Installing stock rom via odin will restore all system apps, in this case messaging too, so find your stock rom and flash via odin.
Install a New ROM via Odin.Before this,It is better to do MegaWipes.

Hey People,
Trying to remove bloatware (ATT Address Book) I mistakingly uninstalled a contacts system app. I made a TI backup so I just pulled down the prop files and gz files for that apk and the apk itself, but no luck. Did a factory reset and still the same thing. I was wondering if anyone has a TWRP backup they'd like to share with me or is it someone I could wife system in TWRP and do a factory reset from the bootloader ?
did you ever get sorted out? I am in the same boat now. Can anyone help?
