Conversations.apk!!!

Hi, i am new to rooting but figured everything out pretty easyily...i mistakenly went in to my system/app and DELETED all the bloatware(or what i thought was bloatware) before reading that i should re-name everything and there was conversations.apk. the whole problem is that i cant recieve or send mms's now through handcent and its supposedly because i deleted conversations.apk. i found some fourms on androidfourms.com about this problem and how to solve it but if was for droid x, well i went to the dump file(not knowing it was for 2.1) and got conversations.apk and it installed and i moved it to system/app and set up permissions and no application started or anything, Just took me back to home screen(i figured because it was for droid x) and my mms started working again in handcent. Well today its not working anymore because i found the dump file for the droid 2 and the problem is that i download the .apk and no matter where it is on the phone either in sd card or where ever it brings it up and it will NOT install. I tried changing locations, permissions, and nothing. I read that i cant even flash back to stock sbf and have everything back or is that when you do a factory reset? I need help because ive been getting really frustrated and maybe i just dont know what im doing but id really rather not flash back to new but if i have to then thats fine with me. Also i read that i can use adb (which i do have experience with since i used that to root my phone with so if i have to, i use it..not total noob lol) and push the file to a directory such as system/app and maybe that would work...idk... PLEASE HELP.
Sorry for such a long story... thanks for any help

Hey. Yeah... I think I was in the same boat with you when I deleted the 3G Wifi Hotspot and couldn't update.
I think it is time to try the .sbf method. I've been looking for someone to go through the tutorial and making sure everything is there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770224
Give that a go and tell me how it is. Especially if 12a works! If 12a works, you won't have to factory reset your phone! You can just flash an you'll have everything back.

Before flashing the .sbf I'd go to the Droid 2 system dump and make sure you have all the applications on your Droid so you don't get hosed on reset.
Then when your phone is reset/working just go back and rename them instead of deleting and you're safe when VZ puts out updates.

Okay, thanks. I am at work so i will have to get home later tonight and steal the computer from my fiancee and try this out..i am assuming that if i flash the sbf it will lose root? Right?

Could you explain this? Would you have to put the files from the system dump and adb push them back onto the phone in order to reflash the sbf. I just thought you could straight flash it and get everything back in place.

You can do the sbf at any time. Factory reset needs the apps, not the sbf.

Oh okay so i dont need to push any apps..only if i wanted to do a factory reset right now or something?...flashing the sbf will restore all apps and everything to new again correct? Then do a factory reset. Also this will unroot right?

Yes sir. But it is easy to root again. 2.2.20 is rootable using the same method!

I guess I just read wrong. I thought if you didn't have all of the stock apps then it would be stuck in a boot loop. (I've only had my phone for a month and it's my first Android phone.) I got the flashing and the factory reset mixed up, thanks darkonion and karnovaran.

Well I got the bomb jpg and what not and flashed back with no problems and everything is working now. Unable to root because the ./rage or whatever "app" took too long this morning before work so ill have to root tonight. Thanks for your help guys and I now have some wisdom to share with others about flashing sbf's and re-rooting. Btw, this website/app on my phone is AWESOME lol.

If I were you I'd SBF back to 2.2 then download the Full SBF 2.3.2 and flash it. At least that is what I did.

Alright, maybe a stupid question, but do I have to root and go back to factory settings in order to flash this?
I have Fission 1.2.1 installed right now, do I have to go back to install this? Will I lose all data / saved stuff?

I read that the update isn't working because I deleted the apps and what not. So if I sbf back to 2.2 without the original apps in the system will it do what it did before when it failed when trying to update to 2.3.2?

I couldn't get mine to SBF back to 2.2 so I did a stock recovery and wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache. Then I tried to SBF 2.2 and it worked so I went on and flashed 2.3.2

Nothing is different. You can root the same way as before. Check on this section and there are threads on how to root.

Motaboy's 2.3.20 1 Click Root is in the droid 2 discussion area at mydroidworld

Awesome! This let me keep my root..

Hey all. When the 2.3.2 update was released, my Droid 2 was trying to automatically download and update but it failed the update every time. Maybe because I'm rooted and I had removed several of the B.S. apps I didn't want. So I downloaded the full SBF and used RSD Lite to update it. Everything went smoothly. Now I have an issue where several times a day I'll get a toast entitled "Info: Download of update failed." If I go to settings > about phone > system updates I get a toast that says "An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete" followed by the download failed notification.
It seems like the phone is still trying to download the update even though I already have it. Any idea how to stop the automatic download? I already tried rebooting the phone with no luck. Any suggestions are appreciated!

My only suggestion is that your phone still wants to update. If you were to wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset I would think the problem would be gone.

You can Flash straight to this SBF. I started playing with roms after I got the update and basicly bricked my phone I was at the M screen or a boot loop just after and just flashed straight to 2.3.2 and it worked fine.

I don't know if I need to post this here or not. I somehow messed up my phone. I didn't use any sbf and or rsd lite before i rooted my phone. But I was upgrading a rom from rubix 1.8.6 to the 1.8.9 and messed it up. It was stuck at M icon forever then i started messing around with the bootloader and reading these boards. I tried flashing the sbf 2.2 and all that stuff, and couldn't get it out of boot loader. I then tried the 2.3 sbf and now it says low battery, corrupt file..... please help on how i can fix this. I am a noob when it comes to this and any help would greatly be appreciated.

You need to get a charged battery and then you can try flashing the 2.3.2 SBF again(Droid 2 only). The phone won't charge unless your phone has software on it so you need to find somebody with another D2 or a D1 or an external battery charger to get a battery with full or near full power. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804088 Read through this tutorial even if you are flashing in windows. It's got everything you need to know about SBF flashing (more for linux but the fixes at the bottom are for anytime you flash an SBF).
If you mess up an install it's always better to try and get into clockwork because unless you really messed up the install you can just get back in to clockwork and re-install and you should be fine. The best way to get into clockwork is to:
1.Shut off phone(battery pull if you need to and wait about 15 seconds so that it doesn't just boot up again).
2.(with phone completely off) plug the phone into the wall charger.
3.Now turn on your phone. (if you get the battery charge screen just press power again)
4.(wait a bit) Now you should be in Clockwork recovery.(if that didn't work try it a few more times.)

1. Get odin
2. Google search your phones factory firmware
3. Google search how to Factory Reset from boot cause im to lazy to go that far. its all over this forum.
and for the dude above me. just cause you have superuser on you phone does not mean it is rooted. have you used applications like setCPU, if so does it allow root access. if not you do not have a rooted phone. superoneclick. use it. its geat

Yeah, Odin is your best bet to go. Make sure you get the correct firmware. Whatever you do do some research on the stock Galaxy S 4G Gingerbread firmware if you make a mistake loading the wrong files and letting odin to go to work you will dead brick the phone. There will be a still chance on recovering it but you will need a person that can do that and there are some here, they will charge you like $30 for it at least. Good luck

If you have those on your phone then you are rooted

[Q] Return AT&T Atrix 2 to Stock (2.3.6)?

I am having the same problem with Contacts and with process com.motorola.contacts force closing that many others are having. I had rooted as well as uninstalled bloatware (instead of freezing, yes, I know!). Tried unrooting, reinstalling Yahoo and AT&T apps as suggested, factory resets, everything. Contacts still acts the same; that is, I can get to it but can't edit individual contacts nor get to Contacts Storage. I think it must have something to do with AT&T Address Book, which won't reinstall (says not supported but was there before).
At this point I just want to return Atrix 2 to its stock, 2.3.6 configuration and start all over. Can anyone help me, or is that not "out" yet?

Follow the instructions on flashing the 2.3.5 FXZ listed here (the beginner's guide) and then use the OTA update to get to 2.3.6. Next time make a CWM backup before you try any ROMs! It is inevitable that you'll eventually get stuck in some sort of boot loop.

I will try that. It looks pretty complicated...I'll be studying for awhile!

It's not hard at all! Just follow the instructions listed EXACTLY and make sure that your battery is well charged before you do this -- if it dies during the middle of something like this, you could run into a tricky problem.

It's alot easier than it sounds....and im no pro. I was able to successfully flash 2.3.5 to mine that way the first time around following the instructions in the noob thread.
Atrix 2//RebelROM//Tapatalk 2

so let me get this straight....
I had 2.3.5 rooted. I accepted the OTA update to 2.3.6, so naturally, it un-rooted me, although the superuser is still there. I tried the one click method for 2.3.6 after it came out, as I am a total NOOB and was afraid to try it and screw things up. That doesn't work. I tried to unroot it using the same method. Also didn't work. The superuser is still there and denying permissions.
Soooooooo, I have decided to do the FXZ method in the in the noob/general forum. I'm still unclear and afraid about how to do it. Am I supposed to go through the first 11 steps, then do the "replace" step that is added as a note? Speaking of the added note. It says to "move all the the items in it to the stock fxz". The "stock FXZ" is what i downloaded and did in step 1-11, right? I have searched the forums and this was the best place I could see to ask. Sorry for my extreme NOOBness.
Thanks in advance for helping, or just taking the timpe to read my post!

Unzip the stock fxz and copy the extra files into it. Accept any error it may give you. The open rsd and click the "..." Button and find the fxc that you modified and then hook your phone up in Detroit and hit the start button. Should be golden after
Running AtrixBlaze 3 on my Atrix 2.

yes, this is made for windows computers and will work. uzip it and run the returntostoxk.bat file it will confirm your phone is connected (you have to be in fastboot mode) and after that just press enter and let it run and complete and youll be back to stock. you have to reroot your phone too, so id just update to the ota 2.6 and then root that, then intall your atrix bootstrap and then the bionic recovery from rom manager. then your ready to flash some roms again.

That was my only guess. I bought it mint from ebay. I'm hoping that is the issue with a bloatwsre getting removed.

Well...so good news and bad news.
This was phone I had purchased from Ebay. I works great. The problem I started with it receiving an update for 2.3.6, but it failed when attempting to update. From what I have read, this could be related bloated getting deleted.
I first attempted to find InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip, but wasn't able to find a working link.
I was pointed to using a .bat file by Rob in this thread. Thanks a bunch Rob. All went well; however, when attempting to perfrom the update to 2.3.6 it now gives me an out of system memory error. It doesn't even start to download the update...odd. It then ask me to factory reset. however, the factory reset then takes me back into a fastboot mode.
Any ideas of next steps? Do I need to attempt finding the original InlineFlashing file? If so, any idea where to find it?
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the help.

Hi Matt -
Would this work if I'm already on 2.3.5 and need to restore back to default or MUST I be on 2.3.6 first? I can't get to 2.3.6 right now due to a failed update.

for that, im not sure. im under the impression that it's fine.
at this point its better that what you got. {i think}
let me search around a little bit and see if i can get a better answer
