Hello,
the stock-launcher is recognized by virustotal(.com) and kaspersky as Trojaner (adevertisment, downloading banking trojaner). Therfore i istalled an other lauchner (CM-Launcher). The problem is, the stocklauncher quitly runs at the background, so i have the idea to replace it by copy over it the new launcher, using it's name. Another reason is, if anything went wrong and the phone will fall back to the stock-launcher (and i had it deleted), i will own a useless phone. So the question is, is it possible to simply copy the CW-Launcher.apk to Launcher2.apk? The phone is rootet (4.4.2 original rom), location is system/priv-app...
I will not go back to factory reset, to many installation-work must be done. I've manually killed the downloaded bankingtrojaner (located at SD-card/Android/data, shutdownlistener)
Hope i can upload some attachment showing the problem...
Thanks,
chris

Hey guys,
Got an issue with my toggle switches on my today screen (wifi on/off, disconnect data, and flight mode). They were working just fine up until today, so I know that the issue occurred when I was messing with it today.
The error that I get when trying to use the switches says "The file 'JMLComm' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Today, i did three things, one that I'm almost positive had nothing to do with it was added morph gear and a Rom for SNES. The other two were adding Bandswitch (didn't work the way I wanted it to, so I removed it) and added Setup Dial Up Enable Disabler, which didn't cut off the data connection after the time I selected. so I deleted that also.
Any tips or suggestions? thank you
well, since no one can respond to that, how about this.where can I look up to see if that file is still on the phone our just got deleted.
JMLComm should be in the windows directory, a ROM file, so you will need to show all files, size on mine is 45k, attributes RM
There is also JMLTasks.exe, 74k, RM
Neither of them do anything when i try to run them. I believe they probably need command line parameters.
a quick google shows that jmlcomm is associated with enabling/disabling BT and WIFI (which makes sense)
yea, I saw that when I did a search, so im wondering what changed so I cant use my toggles.maybe if I were to reload the file on the phone it would fix it? or maybe theres something blocking it so I cant use it.im wondering how adding those two programs could have done that...

its a rom file, so it is not removeable. you acn copy over it, using some file managers (resco, total commander) or use a cab to instal a copy over it, but the file would still be there 'underneath' the one you add.
Id be more suspicious that its a bad install of cookies home tab (they are the toggles you mean, right?)
I'd probably go for a hard reset and reinstal, but thats me.
But would it take 2 weeks for something to happen? because CHT was the first thing i installed, and everything worked fine
oh no, it will be something that happened recently, but its often easier to start over than to backtrack. Plus rolling back the offending item wont necessarilly fix it.
dang.alright.thanks, and off topic, I know, but when I do a hard reset, what all on the phone was preloaded that will get deleted?
Sounds like one of the things you install used the same file as your problem program. So when it was in stall it over wrote it and when uninstalled it deleted it causing an issue. When you hard reset it will take the phone back to your last flash, what ever was installed on the rom by the cook will be there but anything you loaded after the flash will need to be restored
did you ever find a fix to this? my phone just started doing this!
*edit* If you're using CHT & this happened just reinstall.

I guess the development certificates / signing went out of date.
search after sdkcertsnew2015.cab to renew them.

Guys, I've been kicking around this site for many years, most often in the guise of a windows mobile user. I'm fairly adept with Linux, but have only recently (my 2nd handset) entered the exciting world of Android.
I'm running an MTK6573-based Chinese Dual-Sim 3G job (T8585, HD9+, whatever you may want to call it) running Android 2.3.4.
In my haste to unburden it of all the Chinese apps and junk that's loaded into /system/app by default, I accidentally removed SnsContentProvider.apk
With this missing, the contacts app doesn't work (crashes acore).
Of course, I didn't keep a backup of the original ROM, because I'm a smart-arse who knows what he's doing...
I've asked the vendor/manufacturer to send me another copy of the file (actually, the whole /system/app directory). If this isn't forthcoming, is there any way to use the file from another ROM?
I've tried copying the file across from another 6573-based phone (same version of Android) and resetting the owner/permissions, but there's obviously something else (digital signature?) stopping it from loading.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
What you can do is to flash a stock rom.

I should have said that re-flashing a stock ROM is not currently an option. The handset is a new model, and the manufacturer hasn't released anything for it. They've offered to re-flash it if I send it back to China, but I'm not keen on that option.
Thanks for the reply.
try mine
hi, i have hd2 pro 3g, i download for you mine, i hope it works.
Hi All,
I've screwed my one day old LG. I have the Australian Telstra version - LG-P655K.
Rooted fine but got trigger happy deleting some of the system apps. Basically I must of deleted some sort of downloading app as the Play Store no longer works plus I can't download any files through Chrome.
Furthermore when accessing Play Store through Chrome, it doesn't recognise my device even though I'm logged in. Guessing some sort of backup between this new device and my Google account has screwed up as well.
I've searched all over Google looking for the stock firmware in an attempt to flash it and get it back to normal. However no luck in finding it.
Anyway, I'm basically on the verge of simply buying a new phone. Can anyone help with locating the stock firmware for this phone? And maybe a stretch, but basic instructions as to how to flash it?
More than happy to make a donation to anyone that can help (if that's what people do on here, sure I've read that on other posts)
Thanks in advance.
I may be telling you what you already know but try to factory reset your phone. if that doesn't work you should find a recovery mod and firmware for your device, transfer them onto your SD card from a PC via USB and follow the steps to flash the original firmware.

Sorry, but this is bad advice as the OP obviously deleted something in /system, which a factory data reset will do nothing to help. It might even make it worse since many LGs are very sensitive about trying to run with missing bits of the /system and will throw a Security Error after resetting (possibly) or trying to update via OTA (for sure). They also already stated that they have not had luck locating the stock firmware, hence the reason for their post. I understand your willingness to help, which is great, but bad advice in these kind of situations might be worse than no advice.
Unfortunately, in a quick search, I was only able to find the specific firmware version for your phone off a Chinese site that you'll probably need Google Translate for (unless you or someone you know is fluent) and to sign up for an account there to get the link:
http://poweredw.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=662939
I am not familiar with the site, so can not make any promises to whether it'll work or what other steps would need to be taken.
Another thing that I would try, would be to download a rom (have only found them for some US carriers) and unzip the rom and look in /system/app and compare with what's left in yours to see if anything important looks like it is missing.
http://androidforums.com/metropcs-t...-root/868464-rom-ms659-p659-slimlite-rom.html
Do not attempt to use that rom for your phone, it is only for comparitive purposes.
Done this before...
If google play isn't working, more than likely you've deleted Application Manager. I was debloating my Optimus F3 and uninstalled Application Manager, and lost GP with an error every time I would try to download an app. You could probably save yourself a factory reset if you could download the Application Manager as an apk via PC and move it to your phone and re-install.
Then again, if you didn't uninstall Application Manager, I wouldn't know what else has been removed.
How did you perform the root on the telstra LG p655k
Wouldn't mind knowing how you performed the root access on your phone
Thanks

I did post this in the forum specific to my device, but I though I'd look for help elsewhere too, since the question is more basic to Android, and not really just my phone.
I recently rooted my LG G Pro 2 smartphone, did some stuff and everything was great. I was using CCleaner to remove some unneeded apps, but apparently, I removed the basic "phone" system app that allows the phone's cellular modem to work and make phone calls and texts (I'm thinking of it like a Windows driver, rather than a Windows software app). The unit works fine (WiFi, internet, and such), but I cannot make phone calls or texts, and I have NO bars (reception) at all.
So, here's the question: Can just adding in that system app back into the OS be done, or am I screwed?
I read two ideas...
One was to try and find a "phone.apk" and add it back to the data folder. But then I was unsure if "phone"apk" files are the same on all android phones or if each manufacturer has unique phone apk for each device.
The other idea I heard was to do a full restore, which would be OK, but then someone else suggested that if I deleted the phone apk, that I might have also screwed up the possibility of restoring the phone.
Finally, I used an undelete software after this incident, and the undeleter found a lot of apks and zip files, and I recovered those to a storage file on the SD card for now. But the problem there is that the files all just have number for names (for example, like "recovered_file_342579.apk or .zip). I have no idea if any of these are the phone file I deleted. I feel like I should be able to identify these files somehow, and just re-insert the phone file back to where it was.
What do you guys think?
Reflash your rom. Or flash a new one. Restore will not work. Trying to drop in a dialer apk will probably be a big headache you don't want to deal with.

Part of the problem I'm running into now is that I can't find ROM for this phone. I googled, and a couple websites listed stock ROM, but then the links don't work. Device-specific forum here on XDA doesn't list any actual ROMs, either. This phone was in the upper eschelon of LG's line couple years ago, and is still pretty good by today's standards. I find it hard to believe I cannot find some kind of working ROM for this thing.
Is using a D838 ROM (or whatever the equivalent American model is called) OK to use on a South Korean model that I have (F350S)?
I'd still like to know if I can just re-install whatever phone file I erased and get phone function back again.
So... I have an Archos 55 and well, root is dangerous, particularly when you're being annoyed with pop up adverts and want to get them gone.
TL;DR:
So basically this all started when I found that web pages and adverts were just opening. Whether I was using the device or not, they'd just magically appear, sometimes ten at a time, accessing the internet at will. I was not best pleased as I have not long purchased the phone, but true to form, Archos have no idea what customer service means, so I was left to attempt to remedy the situation myself. Ordinarily, I would have just formatted and reinstalled the O.S, I do that with linux all the time alas I knew that was difficult.
Instead I sought to find out what exactly was causing the adverts. I deleted all the apps I had installed, but still the adverts kept coming. I did a factory wipe. Still with the adverts. At this point I was a bit stuck, so I grabbed an anti-virus app. It showed a few things that were causing problems including one trojan, under com.android.settings (or something to that name). I made a few enquiries and needless to say, this wasn't a false positive, but it had meant that I had a trojan...and I really don't like trojans. Cue the rage and the not thinking properly as I deleted com.android.settings without making a backup thinking... "shouldn't be too hard to put back"...oh how wrong I was...
I of course tried to make amends by grabbing a "copy" of settings from another site (and possibly a different phone) but I was told that it was ROM and no amount of permission changing was going to change that (I tried and I apparently failed, I may have possibly been doing something wrong, but I don't think my chown/chmod skills are `that` shabby).
The problem:
- No access to settings. Settings doesn't exist. (No access to USB Debugging either because that requires tapping the about phone bit and guess what...)
- Can't install apps as something has "Stopped".
- No access to WiFi
- Using Linux (Ubuntu something or other...15 I think).
- Mobile Tinkering Newb (But I'm not totally tech illiterate).
I do have access to fastboot mode apparently.
So what I think I need is a way to reinstall lollipop 5.1 so I can get back to square one, without (at least initially) using ADB (because I've tried and my device just refuses to show). I've also tried a few "needrom" things but, of course, they don't work because linux.
If anyone could possibly help me, I would be greatly appreciative in any way. I just want wifi back really. (I can see that wifi works and a network is available I just can't edit the settings to access it). If I can provide more information, please ask and I shall provide.
[SOLUTION]
Back up your device <- Essential
Grab a rom from NeedRom
Enable Fastboot.
Enable USB Debugging etcetera.
Use custom software (provided by NeedRom) (I know this seems dodgy but you try anything when you're desperate enough and this works so...if you're worried then take precautions and make a backup of your own phone first.) to open up the .pac file. Check where the files have been opened up to.
Copy the files to a more stable area (i.e from Temp to your Data drive), they should be in .img format as .pac basically appears to be some kind of archive that groups them all into one.
Use Fastboot (you might need to enable this so make sure you do it) and flash the .img files to the phone and sparse them to about 250MB.
Restart the phone.
Check phone works properly.
If works properly, consider donating to NeedRom.
Anyone?
Trojan
I have the same problem, but I didn't uninstall the setting, did your Trojan installed random apps too? Like MyApps or something like that?
Seeing the same problem I think the problem is that the device comes with it, but I haven't found anything else to do apart from installing avast to tell me when unknown sources get on to install a random app.

Hi! How did you solve the problem? Please let me know
It appears to involve installing an apk installer from the Google Play stores (any will do it seems). Then by installing a copy of the Settings.apk.
Neither of which I am able to do as, due to getting rid of settings Google Play won't work. So....
Edit. I managed to get Google Play installed and then installed an APK installer. However installing settings is restricted as security won't let me install unofficial apps. >.>

Hi,
What you have here is a virus.... and like me, it's probably embedded in settings. I.e It comes with the device.
There is no way to get rid of those adverts....except...by voiding your warranty. You will need to wipe your device and reinstall a rom, preferably not your original. (That or send it back to Archos). Taking your phone back to the store and demanding a refund is an option before I proceed further and this is the solution I recommend.
Take this moment to back up all your data.
What I did however and what seems to have gotten rid of them is firstly head over to NeedRom (search) and acquire a freely provided Rom of someone else's phone. There are two versions for the Archos Platinum 55 and it will depend on your specific phone.
Now you will need to flash (this will destroy all data on your phone so make sure you get it backed up) your rom. You can use the ADB solution but that couldn't work for me. So I used Fastboot instead, however to use this the rom provided by needrom is in a .pac file format, you need to get the .img file from it. You can do this by loading up the software provided by NeedRom (named FactoryUpload or something like that) load the .pac file and look at the file path locations. The one I checked was for System. I then went to where it said it was, in my case a Temp folder, copied and pasted all the data to somewhere not temp (all the .img files I needed were there).
Then I used Fastboot to flash the rom entirely there are much better Fastboot tutorials out there than I can explain myself. This flash included System, Recovery, Cache and basically everything, however it wouldn't let me do it all at once. I had to use a particular "flag" or "switch" so that it would `sparse` all the files over 250MB (that was the number I chose) and it worked after that.
This is the only way without returning the phone to get rid of the adverts *if* the virus is indeed in Settings. There's no way to remove Settings safely. I tried.
