Hi,
I have a China dual sim Android 2.2 phone with 4.3" A4 (look like Droidx) is corrupted. Need the rom and help for recovery.
First, the IMEI is gone after I do a factory reset.
Thinking to restore all apps and get a replacement, then I accidently restore all system apps without realize permission setting (just copy back with RootExplorer).
Now, my phone is started without any apps running other than "Setting". All apps is missing, cannot be started up including Market, Browser, File Manager, terminal, Universal Root that installed previously.
When I boot into recovery mode, I do not see any option to update/run the update.zip.
Anyone have the rom for A4?
Any guide that I can used to recover?
How to put back the IMEI? I have the image of the IMEI sticker behind the phone.
Please help...
Thanks.
Well,this query is slightly old because later I did a stock restore through Odin ..
But still ,
I wanted to restore my nandroid backup .. I was in CWM and selected to restore my last nandroid backup ,, It completed with an error which I don't remember now ..
When I selected REBOOT SYSTEM NOW , it just simply turned off and turned on with usual SAMSUNG logo,and stuck there for a couple of minutes ,, At first I thought it was due to first time restore ,but after waiting for more than 10 minutes,it was still on SAMSUNG logo
I removed the battery and inserted it back,,but still the same thing ....
I don't know what went wrong
So the query is : Do I have to clear anything like dalvik cache etc before doing a restore like I did before flashing a new ROM ???
It's my first post on this site,and would be glad if got a complete answer,,bcz I want to flash some roms again and don't want to resort to Odin to go back to stock as I want everything to be as it was before flashing.
Thanks...
might I ask what ROM you are using now ? in my experience, I think if you want to keep everything the same as it was (setup, password..ect) before flashing a new ROM then don't flash any new ROM because it might cause force close and such ...
a google account will help you remember the app you have previously
Helium will help you backing up data from the app
Apex launcher has the option of backup your previous settings
regards,
Well, I am not worried about my data or anything ,coz I had already made a backup of pics,videos etc
The actual question is :
What might have caused the phenomenon???!!!! Do I need to clear dalvik cache or anything before restoring nandroid ??
well it doesn't hurt clear BEFORE and AFTER flashing/restore - so I do that every time
Still haven't got the answer ...
I've recently wiped my phone and am trying to restore my files. Since the backup isn't compatible i went back to my old rom. However, when i restored, a few apps were missing. I was using Sony's backup and its like they did not recognise my app. What can i do to restore it?
Hi,
Can you tell us more,please
We need to know which device ? rooted or not ? More infos.
Thanks in advance

Sometimes packages like that have been known to remove the Settings app. The only way to fix it (except factory resetting) is to flash a custom ROM, like CyanogenMod.
Wich CM can i install? Because the lastntime i've tryed it (7-8 months ago) it was really bad and buggy. Honestly i prefer the Samsung ROM.
However, can i install a new settings app? Or flash it. I need the secsettings.apk from the 4.2.2 JB Rom for i9105p. Or the only way is wipe data/factory reset? (It will wipe data and i'm scared that i can't have my settings back this way).

Well, if I had that device, you can be sure that I'd provide you with that settings app.
However, since I don't have it, I don't know of any way to obtain that app.
By any chance did you make any sort of backup any time before this issue occurred? If so, please post it for me, as I might be able to extract the app out of that.

Hello guys,
I wanted to update the custom rom XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition on my Galaxy S6 from Version 2.2. to 2.3 but I do not want to set up my phone again, as I did that some weeks ago. So my question is now what exactly does the Data/Factory Reset do? Is all data being deleted? Do I have to install all apps again? And is it necessary, cannot the old version be overwritten?
Regards
Haris

Did this a few days ago.
All apps/settings etc. get wiped, everything except your photos and .mp3s, in fact.
You will have to set it up again, but it's not that much work, i think.
All your apps you can reinstall in one load thru the Play store, as it remembers your downloads and purchases,
export your contacts as a .vcf file and restore them with a few clicks later.
Dirty flashing may be possible, but since the developer himself recommends a swipe/reset, i'd stick with this.
Thanks for your reply. I think I will try the Titanium Backup app. This should solve my problem, if a wipe is necessary.
I successfully installed the newer version 2.3. and restored the phone with Titanium Backup Pro. Everything has been restored fine except the Alliance framework app. I cannot find it. Isnt it force installed by Aroma?
Also, when I put in my headset the app bar which offers you apps for headset use does not show up. Although I activated it in Aroma Add-On. I also wanted to ask if it is possible to have the album cover as wallpaper lockscreen when listening to music and to have the music widget on the lockscreen?
I hope it is ok to use my thread for this questions, as I cannot ask directly in the custom roms thread, due to missing rights.
