Hello, everyone. I removed plenty of bloatware from Sprint using ADB Shell. I checked a post about the LG G8 because of the annoying "Sprint activation" message everytime i restarted the phone. On that post, some users gave useful packages to remove to get rid of the bloatware, among them was the package com.lge.lgdmsclientspr that some user said was the responsible for the activation message. This was true, once I removed it, the message stopped. However, along with that, I lost the option to check software updates in the About Phone menu. Apparently, there's a package with a similar name com.lge.lgdmsclient that's responsible for the software updates. I did some searching and found the apk. I installed it successfully and I got back the option in the About Phone menu, but it doesn't work. When i press it, it tries to load something but nothing more. If I touch it again, a message appears telling me the app stopped working. I uninstalled it again, but I want to know if I can recover the menu option again without having to do a hard reset and having to tolerate the Sprint activation message each time I turn on the phone. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there's a way to recover uninstalled apps via adb by using another adb command, you can do a Google search for this
For anyone seeing this at a later date, the command to reinstall apps removed with adb is
adb shell cmd package install-existing <package-name>

I rooted installed clockwork and then began the process of installing a team whiskey rom. when i noticed that i no longer had access to the app market. I have some sort of purgatory market that shows test apps and none of them seem to work.
So I installed Odin and was going to unroot and flash back to Stock Vibrant rom but the phone isnt syncing. so I installed Kies still nothing.
Then it was suggested that I use a Dial code started with *2.......*.... something. which wiped all my apps and gave me a stock phone with no terminal access.
So I dl terminal access apk's (tried two) they install but wont open.
I can still make calls and browse the net and whatnot but wheres the fun in that. About at my whitts end here fellas. I think I may have a virus. how do I fix it
Have you tried going to:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> The "All" tab -> select "Market" -> press "Clear Data" (you might have to force stop it before this step)
I tried a bunch of things in the settings... manage applications you suggested but I don't have a tab feature you mention.

In manage applications along the top it should say:
"Third Party"
"Running"
"All" <- select this one
Then scroll down to "Market", click it and clear the data.
I read about this some where and I'm sorry but I don't have the link. But this person was having close, if not exactly, the same problem and found it was due to some change in the IEMI code. This guy said he had backed his up so it was easy to fix. But the point is that your IEMI code is part of what is used to determine what should be shown to you in the market, at least that is my understanding, so you should verify that yours is correct. I hope this helps. If not then sorry I made you waste your time, but good luck.

earlier this morning i tried opening all the stock programs and when i got to sim3 i got this message "For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in android market".
I tried the *#06# to compare the imei code with what is printed on the phone and they dont match.
So now I have a clearer idea of what Im up against here anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

I'm not at home right now so I can't find the thread that I originally read, but here is one I found with other people with problems with there imei codes. Some of them said they were able to resolve their issues in this thread.

Hi guys,
I will have you know I have done hours of work and scowering for answers... I am so close to having this done it is driving me bonkers... and right when I think I finally have it... another hiccup, with no luck finding anything.
I am using this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1383480
Initially, I had everything as it should be, and then, terminal would said that the sudo command did not exist. I realized I did not have the nook connected and in the right spot... trying to download the app and then clicking on package installer and having it connected. So... I tried that and I got parse error no matter which way I did. So I did a hard reset and wiped it clean to start over. Everything goes beautifully but now
"Click on the Package Installer, and then a prompt will pop up asking if you want change the settings to allow 3rd party apps.
*DO NOT ENABLE 3RD PARTY IF YOU WISH TO ACCESS ADB*
I am working on a way to have it enabled by default."
That prompt does not appear.... no prompt pops up asking me to change the settings to allow 3rd party, and then it takes me to screen asking me to install go launcher... no "press them both and accept the prompt."
I'm finally at a loss. Please help meh...!
My phone is a LG L3x (LG E425g) with Android 4.1 JellyBean. I hard reset the phone using the Settings menu but now when I'm setting it up it asks me for a Google account and here starts my problem.
If I said "Later" it ask me "Do you want to add an existing account or create a new one?" (even when I said "later") So I choose "Existing" and I have to log in with my account and it seems it works but then ask me again for the account, but now when I sign in (again) it say "There is already a [email protected] account on this Android device".
No matter what I do, it still appearing the same message. If I try to create a new account I put my name and last name and when I click continue message appears "Unfortunately, Google Account Manager has stopped". I hard reset the phone again but when I get this point the same error occurs. The problem is that I can't do literally nothing with my phone, NOTHING. I can't go to settings, I can't open any app, I can't open notification bar, nothing.
I've already reset the phone again. I create a new Google account on my PC and try to log in but it's the same. Please, don't tell me "Go to Settings..." or something because I can't.
Please help me

That sucks... I would try the hard reset via the built in recovery, which seems like it is only accessible via adb commands, oddly enough. If that doesn't work, then re-flashing the stock firmware might be next.
Finally
Finally I solved my problem =D
I suspected it was a software problem so I installed LG PC Suite and I downloaded the update for my phone (via USB), even when it was asking me for a Google Account.
After the update was completed, the phone restarted and it asked me for a Google Account again, so I put my info for the umpteenth time and finally it worked!!! Now the setting up process is completed and I'm able to access to the Play Store, Settings and other things.
I'll leave this information here in case anyone have the same problem in the future.
Thanks es0tericcha0s for your interest

You're welcome. Told ya that'd do the trick.
Just rooted my phone, installed and paid for Titanium Backup, and was freezing some applications to improve system performance.
Succeeded until the last time, when I should have realized that when I pushed Home, nothing happened, instead I rebooted my phone....... (and yes, I hadn't gotten to a backup yet)
All I get now is the Splash Screen, but the OS does seem to be loaded behind it, I can access my phone by AirDroid, but only over cellular, not over WiFI.

Is there an application I can side-load that will disable the Accept RSA Key dialog so that I can issue the 'pm enable' commands via ADB?
Is there an application I can side-load that will just enable all of the disabled applications?
Google searching for the past couple hours, but keep not finding anything useful.
Any other ways to fix this, other than reset?
I successfully rooted my LG Tribute. Phone worked just fine (Didn't have service at the time. Just using it like an IPod). Downloaded another "management program" to make deleting apps, etc. easier. Problem. Settings had stopped. Couldn't get it to function. Everything else functioned, but not settings. So, since it's not my only smart phone and if I wrecked it, it wouldn't matter, I copied all files to my PC and did a factory reset. The little green robot erased everything, but when it came time to reinstall the program the reinstall message just blinked and the message "unfortunately settings has stopped" popped up. Naturally I tried at least a million times to repeat the factory reset, but with no success. I can pull down the top of the screen and see the information there, but I can't get behind the "unfortunately settings has stopped" message. I admit I'm a very old guy who fantasizes about becoming a hacker, but that's never going to happen. But I'm wondering, is there a little utility type program somewhere that I could download to my PC and run it in my phone via USB to get behind the '"unfortunately" message and do some kind of wipe job that would enable the do the factory reset? Like getting into the registry on a PC? Everyone I talk to says to just dump the phone. But I'd like to figure out a solution, if there is one, and learn something.
