Hey everyone I have a HTC inspire 4g that is unlocked and rooted, well I was deleting all the apps and bs that I didn't need i accidentally deleted the lockscreen slider widget so therefore now I'm locked out of the phone. I've looked everywhere for info on re-installing the lockscreen widget from a zip file but haven't had any luck. The phone turns on and I do get signal and all but it's just stuck on the lockscreen with no slider to unlock to get into the phone. Please someone help!!!
You could re-install your rom without wiping. You will have to start over on the cleaning but you would be able to unlock the phone.
Sent using the power of the dark side.
You can also try calling your device, pick up the call, you shall be left at the home screen when you hang up...
adb push?
You can try reinstalling the lockscreen application via adb. You can look the apk via google and then run "adb push XXX.apk" if you left the debugging mode activated.
Always you can reset your phone entering in recovery mode. Don't forget make a backup
I've done that before... well... i tried modding it and it didnt go over so well... but the adb method described above worked just fine to put the original lockscreen back in there

I just installed the weathernetwork weather app and it froze my phone. Upon rebooting I get stuck with the boot animation playing continuosly.
Is there any way to get my phone working again without having to do a total wipe?
My Nexus S is stock. I'm also a total android noob, so please try to give step by step instructions if possible.
Thanks
Update: I tried doing a wipe and factory restore through the recovery menu. Phone is still stuck at the rainbow x boot animation. Could this problem be caused by the 2.3.4 OTA I ran a few days ago? Also is there anything I can do or should I submit the phone under warranty?
Thanks again in advance
I forgot to post the first time that I have the 9020A version of the phone, just incase that helps anyone.
Thanks
You could try booting to recovery (when the phone is off, hold down the volume-up button and press and hold power until it starts) to see if you can do anything useful. Another option is to install the Android SDK and platform tools and Google USB drivers on your computer and use the adb ("android debug bridge") command from a console on your computer to try uninstalling the offending app.
Also, bear in mind that, assuming you've set your phone to sync to Google, you may not lose much by wiping it and starting over - in which case I recommend rooting it and installing a 3rd party recovery and custom ROM. Doing so won't lose things like pictures and music on the SD card part of the phone's memory. And the Android Market remembers your apps, both purchased and freebie.

MESSAGE TO DEVELOPERS/ANYONE WHO CAN HELP
Long story short, i edited my build.prop incorrectly and reset (yes i know very stupid) now my motorola cliq opens up to the motoblur screen but repeated messages saying "Sorry! the process X has shut down" show up.
Literaly, nearly nothing can open up but i am able to enter usb mode if i fight with the endless popups. i can also enter recovery mode because my phone was rooted before this. The problem is that my recovery image doesnt have any options that could help me
(reboot, apply sd card:update.zip, and wipe data/factory reset)
i've tried putting an official motorola update.zip onto my sd card then running the apply.. but like i told you before my build.prop is messed up a little so an error shows up saying:
Installing update...
E/:Failure at line 1: assert file_contains("SYSTEM:build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint=motorola/morrison_two_us/morrison/morrison:1.5/CUPCAKE/1.4.8:user/rel-keys" == "true" || file_contains("SYSTEM:build.prop", "ro.build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/morrison_two_us/moInstallation aborted
Press Menu+Back to reboot
All i need to do is fix the line of code i messed up but i cant reach my systems files,...i attached my original build.prop and a copy of my corrupted one to show you.. I also cannot use the phone service or network service (even wifi) because like i said, nearly ALL the services are unable to stay on, they immediately shut off at startup.
Ways to fix this would be to REACH/EDIT THE SYSTEMS FILES
1. I cant use an app like root explorer since i cant access any apps on my phone even things like my settings
2. Turn on usb debugging somehow (I cant access my settings app so im lost on this one)
1. ingenious DESKTOP program that can somehow access my phone's system files without adb (if it can access the sd there has to be a way..)
3. Ive looked around to maybe find a custom image recovery that had options like editing system files (shouldn't be hard to make..) but ive found none with that option and im not sure how i would install it without adb...
What i CAN do
1. ENTER USB MODE (that has to count for something so Developers Please help me)
2. I can play with the motoblur intro screen to some degree to make it go away, then a blank black home menu appears. If i wait a while for the popups to stop at the motoblur screen, i follow the instructions but it gets stuck at registering a new account or existing one since you need network access.
3. ENTER REVOVERY MODE (but the only option that looks helpful is the sdcard update which gave me an error...) I havent tried the wipe data/factory reset because the factory reset doesnt touch the build.prop so its pointless
WHat should I do? WHoever sees this please give me advice or direct me somewhere to get it... THANK YOU
[EDIT]
BTW what i was trying to do on the build.prop was replace this line (ro.build.fingerprint=generic/sdk/generic:3.2/HTJ85B/140714:eng/test-keys)
with (ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys)
but i messd up and put
(ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/rel)
youll see this in the attachments...what this does is unlock my 1.5 firmware market to ALL the apps (updating to the official 2.1 using recovery wouldve handled this but i didnt even know of this update till after my mistake)
I just thought id mention...
if you have adb abilities you can push the old build.prop. If you do not know a out this then post back and I will help you.You said you can enter recovery, but that is stock original recovery that anyone can get access to. If you ever bootstrapped your phone you can try pull the battery out, wait about 10 seconds, then plug your phone charger in without the battery in. If your bootstrappped this will pull you into a more advanced recovery mode. The last option is to use rsd lite to flash an sbf to your phone if nothing else works. If you have never done this just look up sbfing motor cliq to stock.
Good luck, and remember to thank me if this helped
SOLVED!!
I fixed my phone on my own but THANKS to rootfan for being the first to answer.
HERES HOW:
I was able to access recovery mode and from there i discovered the sd update option.
It took hours of research and work but i learned alot about adb,motorola, cliq, etc.
Anyway, i originally found the Blur_Version.2.1.5.MB200.T-Mobile.en.US.zip and i tried to put that in my sd card (i could get into it from the phone) but when i tried to update using recovery it gave me an error so i decided to try the "latest 1.5 with Blur 1.6.1" which was actually very hard to find... you can get it here
motorola. com/staticfiles/Support/Experiences/sdcards/US-EN/tmo/cliq/downgrade-to-cupcake .html
Lastly, i put that on my sd as update.zip, went into recover, and the update was SUCCESSFUL! MY PHONE REBOOTED AND NOW IS ACTING NORMAL AGAIN. Now, im trying to update to the Android™ 2.1 (Eclair):
motorola. com/staticfiles/Support/Experiences/sdcards/US-EN/tmo/cliq/2-1_index. html
but im still getting that error whether i update using recovery or the settings/about phone/system update option... Thats strange but my phone is still working normally and ill find a way to update to 2.1...
ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO ROOTFAN AND HOPEFULLY THIS POST WILL WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO MAY BE HALF-BRICKED (no adb, no usb debug, no root explorer) THERS STILL HOPE IN RECOVERY+USB DRIVE+BLUR VERSION SOFTWARES
Thanks man, now this is probabaly a redicilous reply, since im sure you would have already tried this, but you can try going into settings, about phone, and click on update and see if the 2.1 eclair ota update will work on your phone.

You can reflash a stock rom back if you wanna get it done easily - or even a updated gingerbread one from samfirmware.com

Right now my Nexus appears to be pretty much soft bricked and I do not know how to get back to normal. A little background on what happened that led up to this. Was running slimbean 4.3 don't know what slim version but about a month or 2 old(had it when 4.3 was still new) Installed the google hom launcher(launcher, search framework) All went well, Decided to factory reset because phone was running slow(was before installing kit kat launcher) Did so through recovery(latest CWM) when I rebooted I was stuck on the activation screen. Iut can scroll through the various languages, but can not click on any of them to procede. Can open the notification bar and the control panel. Can turn off and on wifi, bluetooth etc. Setting does me no good. When I enter fastboot, I can only reboot booloader, I can not select any of the other options using volume down. I can not use fastboot as it detects nothing(no error, no device on/offline) Device manager gives me generic drivers which aren't installed such as ethernet and pci. No Nexus S driver. Tried installing drivers nothing. I should also note that when I am on the activation screen I can enter usb mode to copy and paste files. ADB and fastboot are working with galaxy nexus. I really want to sell this phone to my cousin but obviously I can not. I really don't think any hardware is currupt but I don't know for sure.

Don't know how I did it, but somehow I was able to go through recovery via bootloader, still curious as to why I wasn't able to before and why installing drivers to enter fastboot mode failed, I am just glad all is running
Seems I'm an idiot.
Recently bought a Kobo Arc 10HD, my first Android device. I rooted it according to Dazza9075's guide on here. I didn't update the recovery image, because in my ignorance I thought it'd allow me to recover to factory settings.
Apparently not.
I've just reset it, and now I've lost everything. The base OS is still working, but there is no loader, no settings widget, nothing. The battery remaining indicator and time are showing in the top right, the three Android buttons are showing at the bottom. It's powering down the screen properly. That's it. If I press the recent apps button the old wallpaper comes up. Any swiping on the recent apps and the System UI stops responding.
Edit: Might also be worth mentioning it'll only restart after the first power on after a reset - any subsequent attempts and it stays on the Kobo loading screen.
Have I just completely buggered it, or do I have some options available?
Okay, I'm able to sideload using ADB in the recovery settings - is this of any use?
Hello
Yes you can sideload recovery using ADB as given in the guide you mentioned . Ensure that the device drivers and ADB drivers are properly installed on your PC before sideload.
Hope it works

Don't think that's going to help. I'm unable to access dev mode as the settings app isn't there. There's no way to go into ADB shell, I can only use the sideloader mode in the recovery settings.

Flash stock rom back
Sent from my GT-S7582 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Unfortunately don't have one. I didn't install a custom ROM on it because they're unavailable on Kobos. If I get a stock upgrade.zip I think it should work, but I haven't managed to find one.
Hello
Search on the internet if someone has uploaded your stock rom . You can use ADB Fast boot to flash recovery and without stock rom , recovery alone won't help you . If you find a custom rom try that
All the best
I'll try having a further look. Thus far no luck though.
Thanks for the help.

If you go this route you'll need to sniff out the url on an update from Kobo. I know this works on the original arc but they may have smartened up and started using ssl.
so i decided to root my unlocked htc one s, i've tried lots of one click root apps like kingoroot and others but none of them worked. so i decided to use framaroot. so framaroot didnt work too and i got really pissed off, and i accidentally pressed a button which was saying this: execute script/sd card/custom and my phone restarted. i thought it would boot normally and i would use phone normally but i saw that lockscreen ring was gone. now i cant unlock my phone but it works inside really well. i mean facebook notifications and missed calls are appearing on upper screen part (forgot how its called the place where clock battery icon and others are displayed, also forgot to mention that i locked my bootloader before trying framaroot because i thought something bad would happen to my device) when i first tried to root my htc one s it always got stuck on entering recovery screen, but i could normally use my phone. no most of the times my phone wont even turn on, i mean when i trie to it manually goes to bootloader screen, i hardly manage to boot my phone normally but still without lockscreen ring. also when i try to connect it my pc i get windows error. i tried updating drivers and it didnt work. also my phone is 2yrs old so i cant retutn it to htc with warranty, also screen is little broken but can still use normally. pls anyone help me if you can :crying::crying::crying::crying:
I am not HTC expert, but at this point you should could try to get S-OFF, HBOOT 2.16 and upgrade firmware (link in my other thread in this section) in order to flash latest roms and get a clean install
