Hi,
I have a Chinese copy of a Samsung Galaxy S3, the sticker says SMART OS Model I9300+ Android ICS I think its the same model as the HDC 19300?, it has 1.2 Cortex processor and the drivers for it on windows says its the MediaTec MT6577. I managed to get it rooted without too many problems.
The problem I have is that I managed to mess up the phone part of the phone, in error I uninstalled Phone.Apk and Telephony Provider. After copying these files back in to system root and changing permissions to rw r r the phone part of Android still did not respond and kept force closing when trying to load these apks, so I did a full factory reset that also did not help.
After looking around on this forum I followed instructions on how to push these apps back in to system app via adb I used shell to gain root permissions then pushed the two apps back in to the system app folder, this worked. However, did not fix the problem, the phone is no longer force closing, but does not attempt to load the phone part of the phone and there is also a message that says that the messaging service has stopped responding.
I have an app installed called system app remover, the phone and telephony provider apks are listed as disabled, enabling them does nothing when you restart they go back to being disabled.
I am now thinking that there maybe other files missing and/or I have totally messed everything up and the only option is to re-flash. The problem is that I am unable to find any kind of ROM for it.
The questions I have are:
What apks control the phone function of the phone?
Does anyone have a full set of Apks for the phone functions?
Is there anything else apart from changing permissions should I be doing after pushing apks to the system apps folder?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Quick update. Its actually the MT6577_S00 running Android 4.09 Not 75. Hope someone will be able to help?
Cheers
Another quick one. Noticed that the TelephonyProvider.APK does not have an ODEX file installed in the system apps folder. Is this the reason?
Cheers

I'm also facing almost similar issue with same device type...
Rooted it without much efforts, everything is working fine except Phone Dialer
whenever i try to make a call, it gives an error message "The system is not authorized will automatically shut down" and Dialer stop responding, have to click "Yes" and Dialer closed.... (Screen short attached)
Also tried by installing other dialer apps, they call same program in background, and it shows the error msg..
Please help...
Use SP Flash tool to flash the stock rom back on the phone.
You need someone with the same phone who can extract the rom for you.
Please post full manufacturer and phone model so anyone who sees this and has the same phone can do this for you.

Anyway, here's some of the specs
Phone Model: GT-19300
CPU Hardware: SMDK4x12

do you know how to correct the wrong cpu model , if that should be mt 6577
I got JB OTA update, but it failed after my phone rebooted.
Where do I find the error log? What are the usual troubleshooting steps?
My phone is rooted, but that's the only change I remember making. Can't figure out why update keeps failing.
Couple questions, you didn't install custom recovery did you? I know it says only rooted, but just double checking. Also, did you freeze any apps....any at all?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No custom recovery. No frozen apps.
I haven't had any problems with the previous update (VRLHE).
Is there a log file saved somewhere on the phone with the error message?

Solved!
Found the solution. After poking around in the file system I found install log in
/cache/recovery/last_log
So, if anyone is having upgrade problems that's the log file you should be looking at for error messages.
Turned out I disabled camera click by renaming the sound file and completely forgot about it :silly:.
In my case this was the error message that pointed to the problem:
"failed to stat "/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg": No such file or directory"

Thanks this helped me figure out why I wasn't able to get the updates....although it was a for a different error. I had disabled the shutter sound.

Oh, something silly might be the cause of my issue, as well.
EDIT:
After rooting to view the install_log file contents, it appeared that my install failed because "/system/lib/libjni_emailspellcheck.so" was not on my phone - what a ridiculous error to hold up a major OS upgrade.
I found Incubus' JellyBomb ROM at the VRLHE level and copied libjni_emailspellcheck.so from that to my phone in the proper subdirectory. Re-installed the JellyBean 4.1.1. OTA and everything went fine.
Weatherbug and some other apps are JellyBean-ized, it appears. Cool.
- ooofest
The sneaky bastards at Verizon tried to push the OTA yesterday evening. The phone was in my pocket and it started getting warm. Pulled it out and saw the update failed message. "last_log" showed it couldn't find VzTones.apk. Well, I had deleted that after backing up in TiBackup, but had reinstalled it a week or so ago. Apparently, when ti restored the apk it wound up being named "com.vzw.hs.android.modlite-1.apk", or at least that's my assumption since the icon is the same. I renamed it, but the update failed (dl via wifi this time. Why does it have to download again, by the way?) again because VzTones didn't have the "expected sha1 sums", whatever that means. I gave up and used this method to get the update, root, and unlocked bootloader.
I think I preferred flashing my Moment to this.
Here's a question: Does that 400mb download count against your data plan?
A rough description of how I solved this specific problem can be found here:

Hey everyone.
TL;DR: I quite desperately need an image (or a tarball) of a working /system partition from an ASUS MeMO Pad 7 HD (MD173x) for the recovery of a soft-bricked unit I have here. Apparently there's none available anywhere. Any help would be very much appreciated.
I have an ASUS MeMO Pad 7 HD here (ME173x) that got soft-bricked by an improper installation of Chainfire3D [not by me]. The device won't finish booting up, but it gives me shell/root access to the entire system through ADB, so it's salvageable. I have a serious problem, though: while I have access to the entire system, I have no images to restore it from - absolutely nothing!
I've tried looking for any manual updates or SD-card-based recovery images on the ASUS website, but only found something for the regular MeMO Pad. I've tried that option still, but the pad ignores it, so probably incompatible. For the MeMO Pad 7 HD, ASUS have no images at all - just user manuals and the source code! I suppose that's the catch to its otherwise cheap price, and I'll spare you my opinions about that.
When it comes to the boot loader, there are 3 options that it offers: normal boot, FASTBOOT or Recovery (which is anything but: it just pops a dead Android icon with "NO COMMAND" underneath it - not particularly helpful). Can't do a whole lot with that, I suppose.
So yeah... My options, as I see them, are to either beg somebody else with a MeMO Pad 7 HD for their /system partition (either a dd dump, tar.gz archive of all the files within, or a CWM recovery file perhaps), in hopes that they are rooted and need little to no guidance on obtaining that data. Failing that, I may have to beg the guys behind Chainfire3D to perhaps give me a list of all the files they introduce into the system and modify, and try to undo those changes manually, and if there's anyone here that reads this and can help me with any of those options, I'll be forever grateful to them.
I assume contacting ASUS themselves about this is a waste of time, since I highly doubt that they'll take this well from a warranty perspective, nor do I think they will be keen to provide me with any recovery images or be useful/helpful in any "non-generic" way...
Anyway, here's my problem, so if anyone has any ideas on getting this solved, I'm all ears [or in this case - eyes].
Thanks!

P.S. Please spare me the lectures about backing up, rooting, bricking, "being careful", etc. This isn't my device - I'm not the one who bricked it. I'm the person people hand these devices to when they've screwed up...
I have a rooted Memo Pad. Can I somehow save an full image of it and share with you?

Many thanks for your response.
You can make a tarball (tar.gz archive) of /system by using the built-in tools. Assuming you have at least a gigabyte of free space in internal memory, here's what you can do:
Get a Terminal Emulator application (if you don't have one): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
Tell the pad to archive /system files:
Run the Terminal app
Type the following commands:
su
tar czvf /sdcard/system.tar.gz /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Locate and upload the system.tar.gz file to Dropbox or some other place that allows you to upload large files and post a link to it - either here or in private.
Now I've noticed that such a file can take around 700MB, which is quite a bit. If that becomes a problem, you can try getting a smaller archive by picking just the more important folders within /system. In that case, this is how your tar command will look instead:
tar czvf /sdcard/system-partial.tar.gz /system/bin /system/etc /system/lib /system/vendor /system/build.prop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Again, many thanks for wanting to do this!
P.S. What these commands do is essentially "zipping up" the contents of the /system folder into am archive file. You can do this with a root-capable file explorer, but it's just easier to do it through the command line, because we all know what exactly to expect from these commands...
P.P.S. To remove that system.tar.gz file through the terminal, type rm /sdcard/system.tar.gz

I get a invalid option -- z error.

here's the link to the dump
btw, I've renamed some APKs as bak, since there is no option to disable some of those apps.
I've removed the link to the file. PM me if anyone wants it.
So I guess my help is not needed anymore.
If you still need my help just ask me, I will do it.
Thank you both.
I will grab the file once I get access permission (click the blue SHARE button in GDrive and change the visibility to "Those with the link" or add ice3715 at gmail com to it) and will hopefully be able to continue bringing this thing back to life. If I'll stumble over anything else, I will certainly know whom to rely on.
Very much appreciated!

Thanks to the image provided, I've managed to get the device to finish its boot sequence: when comparing the files of the two, I found a shell script at /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh that basically gave me instructions on how to uninstall CF3D.

Restoring these files and changing the permissions as specified in cf3d_uninstall.sh brought the device back to life. The OS was somewhat unstable (appcrashes and spontaneous reboots), but a few reboots, updates and dalvik-cache wipes later, it seemed to have stabilized on its own.
Again, many thanks to ericmaxman for providing the system image and GermanGigaDepp for being willing to do the same. You guys are awesome!
Lesson of the week: When rooting your device (or even before that), always back up your entire system! (or at least your entire /system) It is not guaranteed that the manufacturer will offer any recovery images for it or help you in any way, and if you mess up, you'll get stuck just like me!

If you have the same problem as me, then you don't really need the /system partition. I needed it only to do some comparisons, and I found a CF3D uninstall script that way.
I'll tell you right away that unless you're OK with using the command line, ADB and Linux shell (adb shell), you should really try finding someone who is more familiar with these things, because "experimenting" with such a tablet may cost you dearly - ASUS offers no recovery for it whatsoever! Trying to recover it manually without knowing what you're doing there is a bad idea!
Also, the commands below may eventually become outdated, so instead of using those, see if you can cat /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh and do what it says instead (except for stop - don't type that in the shell )
To recover it from the problem I was having, you should gain access to the tablet over adb first:
Plug the tablet into your PC using a USB cable
Open Command Prompt: press WIN+R to pop up the Run dialog, then type cmd and press ENTER
Type adb shell into the command prompt.
If you don't have ADB installed, then Google about for some guides on how to get it installed first. This is one of them:
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Once inside the shell, go root, remount the /system partition for writing and restore the backed up drivers by typing these (VERY slowly and carefully!):
Code:
su
mount -o rw -o remount /[email protected] /system
cat /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM_ORG_CF3D.so > /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
chown 1000:1000 /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
chown system:system /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
chmod 644 /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
cat /system/lib/libGLESv2_ORG_CF3D.so > /system/lib/libGLESv2.so
chown 1000:1000 /system/lib/libGLESv2.so
chown system:system /system/lib/libGLESv2.so
chmod 644 /system/lib/libGLESv2.so
After that, the tablet should be able to boot as it did for me. Otherwise, you may want to type reboot and let it restart completely.
Hope this helps in some way. It didn't damage the device I was working with, but I can't possibly offer any guarantees about yours (especially if it isn't MeMO Pad 7 HD, or one with a different firmware).
P.S. For people asking for "system images", etc: please understand that it's not a recovery image or anything! You can't just flash it into the device and make it work! What I was asking for is a bunch of files to compare against - manually, so if you don't really know what you're doing, do try to find someone who does.

Hi iceDrake, I'm a noob and dont know anything about ADB, can you help I got the system.tar from Eric, but dont know what to do with it. I have the same issue as you. But I can seems to have my tab be recognize by my PC. I can still go to the recovery though
I killed my HD7 with my stupidity and chainfire
Hello IceDrake and everyone else who can help,
My HD7 wont boot it´s in a endless loop because of that the usb/adb driver cannot be installed. (adb shell is not possible - no connection with device)
Does this mean I can my save my device just with recovery or fastboot ?
Can i recover my HD7 with the system.tar file offered here in the forum? What have I to do ???
Thanks for any advice!

chainfire suck on asus memo pad hd 7
You need adb to use the system.tar. I have the same problem as you. I tried fastboot but each time I try to use the recovery flash I'll get an error download Error please re-pluggin USB cable.
I have not choice than to send it to Asus service center. say if you do a factory reset and wipe cache, can they still know if you rooted your device?
Hello, I have a big problem, I rooted my memopad HD7 and later I removed some asus applications, I had some problems with my excahange account so I restored to factory, but now I am not able to install or update any app from play store, I get a 491 Error code, I also tried to install Amazon App Store but the download always fails, same with any other file that I try to download.
I have googled about 491 error code but the answer is always to wipe dalvik cache but i am not able to do so, as I have no recovery.
Ant suggestion? any chance to restore to factory defaults with some image file?
Edited: well, I managed to return it at the store where I bought it and get.another one later. What I have learned from this is that I would never root again until there is no way to recover the device, preferably CWM recovery.
Helo,im new here.. iam exploring the whole day exploring the web in getting root my device, but then after i succesfully rooted my device. i got a lot of errors like "unfortunately , the 'certain app' stop working". And when everytime i install the ROM manager, my device suddenly reboot on it self. I decided to have a factory reset on my device to check if the error will fix. And the error was actually fixed. I installed busybox pro, on the device and tried to update the busybox, and now my device has a 0.00b internal storage. I cant install any applications anymore. While doing self investigation, i removed also my Superuser privileges, thinking it would fix the issue. I also unrooted my device again. now im stucked -.- since i read about some forums that i just need to restore the busybox to the right directory. Anyone can help me? Iam running a tablet with Softwinerevb device name- i know there is a less support about this device. Running on a stock ROM JB 4.1.1. Well cross-fingers if someone could help me here.

I can install an emulator on it, and a root explorer. Is there anyway that you can provide some commands so i can gain root access using root commands and transfer the busybox from system\xbin to system\bin??
any solution
did you find a solution to this? I have a similar problem, but on a generic tv box. I have tried flashing a multitude of roms, but have only got 1 to slightly work
Try to change default install location to SD
Use ADB and try to change default install location to SD card. By this u can install some apps. Hope this will work for you.:highfive:
Late response, but I thought I'd put the answer here since I encountered it myself on a generic AllWinder/Softwiner tablet and found the answer on TabletRepublic. (Sorry, I'm not allowed to post links yet.)
There's something about busybox that prevents it from mounting the /data partition, so you don't have any storage available and all your personal settings vanish.
The solution is to copy busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin. If you have ADB access (I did it from Linux) or can copy a terminal emulator to the SD card and install it do this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin
reboot
Or if you can download RootExplorer.apk to the SD card, you can install that and copy the file with it.
