hi all,
i am having trouble installing any application (.cab) file on my device. have an imate ultimate 8502 wm6.0. basically, in the start i installed googlemaps and it worked fine. then i did another couple of apps, and then i dont know how, but all applications stopped working. i get the error about security certs. when i try to run them. so i uninstalled most of them , and now I cant install anything
everytime i try to run a cab file, if first confirms that its not from a certified publisher, but when i confirm to install, it always gives me the error message "Installation of " ***.cab " was unsuccessful". Would really appreciate your help here.
Regards,

If you Have made any backup, try to restore that. I think that should solve the problem. Otherwise may be the system files may have become corrupted. Its a good idea to have hard reset infrequently, to have clean installs.
backup of what? device recovery you mean? would it be appropriate for the current scenario if i do a Master Clear and restore to factory defaults? plus, does it clean/ repair system files that may have been corrupted?
Thanks,

Backup of system and pim files. It is usually done by e,g spb backup or others. Yes if you do hard reset, it will bring the system to original factory level. Of coarse you will loose all data in ROM. So please backup your data to PC or memory card before hard reset.

heya,
i never tried yet but .... it would work if i first backup my phone with spritebackup (or anything else), then upgrade rom, then restore the backup ?
that's to avoid reinstalling all of my stuff (contacts,tomtom,etc..) every time .....
theoretically, it shouldnt work .... but anyone tried ?
thanks!

When you use SpriteBackup, it backs up your registry and many other core files also. New ROM upgrade could include fixes or newer drivers that may get overwritten when you restore your backup. So, for stability reasons, it's not recommended.
Best thing you can do is get PIM Backup and it will backup most of your messages/contacts and other stuff. There isnt a very good way to avoid having to reinstall applications though.

You can do it...
If you use sprite, you can safely restore if you use upgrade mode in the advanced options. It will restore your contacts, programs, etc. but will not overwrite any system or rom registry settings.

Hey i just hard reset my device and now when i try and reinstall skype and Sktools it says that install unsuccessful when i try and install....
does anyone know whats wrong???
its a bit weird because i uninstalled both programs before hard reset, and now i dont know what to do
maybe you should specify which ROM and which device you're using.
Did you install apps to your storage card or device? Did the apps unistall properly, that is to say is there still the program folder present? If the app folder is still present, delete it, soft reset and try to install again.
When i want to run a backup file, i just run it. But i was wondering.....is it better to do a hard reset first and then run the backup file?

I can´t find any reason why man should backup a device just AFTER a hard reset. After a HR there aren´t any individual file to be backuped. So the only way to make sense would be to backup your personal data in order to hardreset your device and restore it afterwards.
Sorry...misunderstanding, i mean, i have a backupfile wich i want to restore, till now i always just run the backup restore without hardreset first. My question: is it better to hardreset first and then run the backup restore file?
they way i look at it is it doesn't matter.
run the backup. if things are weird, then hard reset and run it again. if things are goo, well you are done.
Hello,
XT1032 CM 12 latest nightly (I think)
I flashed TWRP v2.8.6.0 using their manager app. I entered recovery mode and everything seemed to work fine. I made a NANDroid backup then rebooted. Unfortunately the device was then stuck at the bootlogo and kept looping. I can still access recovery and fastboot but for some reason adb doesn't see the device, nor can my device's data be access under Windows 7. I don't recall if I had USB debugging on or not. I would like to try to backup a few files to my computer (the backup for instance) but I am unable to since I can't use adb as the device is not recognized. MTP through TWRP doesn't seem to work either. I do have the Universal drive pack installed already on Windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
To start with, let's make sure the files you want still exist.
1. Boot into TWRP recovery
2. Go to "Mount" and check that your "Data" partition is selected
3. Go back and then go to "Advanced" and then to "File Manager"
4. Navigate around (maybe /sdcard/ ? Depends what you're looking for) and find the files you need
If you can't find your file, you'll need some more help. Let's say you do see your file. Do you have a USB-OTG cable? You could plug a USB drive into your phone and mount that. Then you could copy your file to that drive. If you don't have the cable you do have some other options, but let us know how far you get.
EDIT: I know I haven't addressed the problem of the bootloop at all. Many of those solutions involve wiping so we need to make sure you've backed up all the files you need first.
First of all thanks for the help. :good:
I've been trying to find a solution and in fact flashing CWM worked. I was able to adb pull all the files and make a backup.
I backed up the content of the sdcard. I tried restoring the CWM nandroid with data only so it did reinstall the apps but unfortunately all their data and settings are gone. Making a full restore just goes back to bricking. So I have the nandroid and the data manually backed up to a computer but no idea how to restore it.
I've tried pushing the nandroid back to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup after an unsuccessful restore but now it doesn't even work. (protocol failure, the push command fails)
honestly at this point I think the best solution is just to make a clean install. In fact it would be a good idea to just reset the whole phone and start with a clean slate with CM13 including wiping system files and maybe manually restore some key files and configuration (I've got all the .com files of relevant apps)
Do you know how to do that? :laugh:

I'm not really a Nandroid expert, but I can take a few shots in the dark. When you did your backup you got a TAR file for System and one for Data, etc., right? Then you convert those to IMGs? If you upgraded and then restored the system backup I can see why that would result in a boot loop. Restoring the data image shouldn't cause such problems though. Is this what you've tried so far? You're right, though. The safest method is to manually restore the data of just the apps where you need that data, and do it one at a time. This would allow you to pinpoint what is causing the issue. Of course, I may have no idea what I'm talking about. I've never actually needed to restore a Nandroid backup! Hopefully someone with more experience there will chime in.
I thought to hell with it I went and solved the issue by installing CM13
Thanks for taking the time to help and see you next time
Recently, I have permanently deleted files from my Android device after factory reset and I didn't take any backup. Is there have any possibility to recover my important data without having any backup?
Try EaseUS MobiSaver app.
You can definitely check the local backup of your phone if you have take backup regularly then, you have enabled to restore data from mobile. Sometimes, files have an automatic backup on Google account. So, you can check your Google backup. In case, if you didn't get back lost after the factory reset then, you may also try the Android data recovery tool. There is no guarantee for data recovery by using any program. But if it will possible to recover files then, it will show the preview of deleted data during the free trial edition.
To be honest, the chances of it would entirely depend on how long you have performed the factory reset. If it has not been so long, then you can actually get your data back. Pick a recovery tool that supports your device, it will let you preview the data and restore them.
Sorry for the delayed reply. For the ones who have the same problem, usually it's difficult to recover them back. You can ask for help from pro shop. Pro shop like Dr.fone, EaseUS MobiSaver, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android, etc. I am not sure they can work well or not. Before that, you need to stop using your phone. Cause data can not be recovered if they are overwritten by new data. And do remember to take backup of your phone usually. It's easy and safe.
I'm in the same seat and I also managed to flash an original rom on a Galaxy S8 on top of that.
Tried trial versions of all the mentioned and some others but they aren't able to detect anything relevant.
At the moment I'm wondering whether to take the loss or hand it in to a professional.
Can they do anything more that the different recovery softwares can't?
(I thought my phone was synced through a cloud app but it turns out it wasn't.)
I have used an app Named "DiskDigger" it worked perfect for me for recovering Pictures.
Have NonRoot-Method and Root Methood

I just found this thread on google, I would like to know if anyone knows a way to recover a deleted application data folder inside the "Android/data" folder in the internal storage, either by adb, usb debugging or with some software since they are important data and I have not gotten any solution .
Thanks in advance.
