Skyrocket lost gallery app after root - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I routed my skyrocket with the one click root. During setting it up afterwards I noticed the three gallery app was missing. I reinstalled the stock Rom to unroot. (Had problems but overcame them... different topic) Tried the superuser root method with the same results and noticed the buddy widget was also missing. Reloaded stock and haven't rooted since. Anyone have any ideas why I would lose apps and how to prevent it next time I try to root? Oh I did a Nandroid backup before the second root but the MD5 was corrupted when I tried to restore from it. Thanks inn advance for any help our suggestions.

fluke, I've never heard of this. U must have done something

The first time,I thought I may have accidentally deleted it, the second time I had just finished rooting and checked for the gallery right after that and it was missing again. It was there prior to rooting.

[/COLOR]How is it possible to accidentally delete the gallery? Rooting does not delete apps.....eother u flashed a rom with gallery missing or you deleted the gallery. And cant figure out how to get it back....so we need more info???? Be honest and elaborate please...
Flashing any rom. Would give u gallery back. Unless you found one
missing the gallery.

Use an alternate... I use QuickPic (free in Market.. or should I say PlayStore)... better and more reliable than Gallery.

Really. Thanks gpna check that put now.

Haha, Iv'e been doing the same. At first I thought It disappeared, but then realized it is not by the M's anymore since it starts with P now. Lol

Try rooting with the Odin method. Its in the dev section. Not is it only the best root method IMO, but it gets you familiar with Odin. Which is essential.

I think I Odin the first time and
Superoneclick the second. Haven't really had time (or desire) to try it again.

Stock Skyrocket build.prop

Is there any way someone on here could post a zipped stock build.prop for me? I'm trying to get VVM installed on CM7 and didn't backup my stock ROM before flashing. So I don't have access to the stock build.prop anymore.

You know you can download a rom like stock rooted 2.3.6 and pull the build prop from it right?

Yes. But I was hoping to avoid that because my SD card is too full to run a CWM backup first. I could offload a bunch of stuff, but I was really just hoping somebody might help.

Ok hang on ill upload it in like 20 min
Here ya go. I changed the entension to pdf for easy upload. So just download it and change it back to prop
Thank you so much. You really saved me some time. Still no luck getting AT&T VVM installed though. I've tried sideloading the apk, restoring the app from Titanium, and even adding it as a system app, but no luck. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't VVM work on CM7? Or does that fact that this is a converted T-989 build have something to do with it?

Help needed for BRICK

I think I may have finally done it. I flashed the latest slim rom (vers 6) today, booted into the ROM and set it up. No problems. Then I flashed faux mainline kernel. I followed the instructions for the kernel install, and hit reboot as last step. The phone shut off and did not reboot. I am now unable to turn on, boot into recovery, or download mode. When I attempt to connect to the PC to try and ODIN back to stock, the phone will not connect to the PC. I have the latest Samsung drivers installed and have connected to my PC previously with no problems. I know I downloaded and installed the right version for my phone, I have flashed kernels many times before.
Am I screwed now? I have insurance on the phone, but really would like to get the phone back from the grave if at all possible. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of the kernel ... Got a link to it???

Going through the history of my browser, it looks like I did a bone head and flashed a Nexus 4 kernel to my VZ GS3. Am I screwed?
Possibly ... Your kernel tells your phone what to do and how to do it ... If you can't get Odin to connect there's a big issues but I've never flashed a wrong kernel so research around a bit for more info ... You can't get into download mode or recovery mode??

Might need to either send it in for JTAG or spend the money to get the insurance replacement

[Q] [Help]Attempting to Unroot Phone, Phone's Powercycling

Hello everyone. So today I tried to root my phone for the first time and all was fine. I could download and use apps that required root access. Then I tried to flash CM 10.1.3, and that's where things got messy. After I flashed, it was saying that unauthorized software was on my phone, and I had to go to verizon. I figured this was because my bootloader unlock didn't work. So I tried flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom, and now my phone's just powercycling. Any ideas? Yes, I am new to this, feel free to yell at me for being an idiot for forgetting some obvious thing.
I think you need to Odin back to a stock build and then repeat the entire process of rooting, unlocking, etc.
I could also be wrong, so we'll get yelled at together.

Wait for someone to confirm that Odin is the way to go. If so, this thread should help you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456000

You'e right lol
@Elerock, does powercycling = stuck at the Verizon LTE splash screen or boot animation? If so, boot into recovery (hold power, home, and volume up) then do a factory reset. Root and unlock following these directions.

Factory Reset w/ Root and No Problems?

I gave my old phone to a friend and did a factory reset in settings before giving it to him w/o thinking it may cause any problems. It seems as though everything is working for him, but I can't tell if the Rom still has root. I did notice that the Rom splash animation came up and it started the set up process before I gave it to him and left. Could it be possible that the phone is running on a custom Rom after a factory reset but not have root?
That's happened to me as well. I just downloaded busy box and superuser from market and downloaded the updates. Idk why this happens. Ask banangranola, he is wise. Lol

[Q] Andriod v4.2.2 ?

I would like to root my SGT-P5113 that has been upgraded to v4.2.2..I have had problems every since this update....Does the root instructions and files still pertain to this, or do I need a different file, if so, what is it? (I am referring to :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056)
I found this method to be much simpler:

Used this in my 5113 and have had zero issues. Just to clarify, my Tab is a GT-P5113, is yours? The S you have in front I've never seen?

You still can do with the thread instruction to root, what is important is what comes after.
Make sure you flash latest recovery for your devices after rooting, and then you'll happy to use any rom you like!
Thanks, u guys, however, I have another issue..after this update, I am unable to get to my developers option in settings, it keeps force closing...do u all happen to know work around for this?
