you can call me a fool in this case
but anyway please help..
so please, hear my whole story first, so that you can examine the solution quickly.
my phone is: samsung W gt-i8150, rom: Liquid Smooth 2.9. build 3
first story. i wanted to replace the phone.apk with the one cm 10.1 own. so i copy phone.apk from CM10.1 zip file (that i got from arco official site). i wanted to copy it to root/system/app with X-plore root manager. but i cannot copy it even with superuser previllage.
second story. with no desperate to try, i delete phone.apk from system/app. then error message shown "com.android. bla bla not working". i dont remember whole message. i press OK, but the message keep showing up. can not get rid of the message, i decided to turn off my phone by holding power key. and after reboot, phone dont show signal bar, and of course, i can not make a call eventhough phone app could be opened.
third story. i'd remembered from somewhere, that i can flash apk with zip. then i decided to experiment a bit. i dont read any tutorial how to make update.zip (that's my fatal mistake.. my bad). i make my 'own version' flashable zip. making the original LS zip as an example. i deleted everything, and leave some that i thought important as you can see below :

}
The 'phone.apk' there, is the one i copied from cm 10.1 zip folder.
finally i install the zip via cwm recovery hope it'll work. i have seen your first paragraph LS instalation, but then it said "failed". and NOW, my phone ended with bootloop. it just stuck at samsung logo.
PLEASE,, how to fix this?? i dont want to re-install all over from the start... :crying:

hi,im a noob to android and my first step into the pool is the garmin asus a50..
yesterday i decided to root the phone
i installed a file manager
i installed titanium back up and ran it
i installed z4root and rooted
i installed super user
i installed root explorer.
all went well until i started deleting all the optus bloatwear,facebook ciao etc
i did a reboot of the fone and a msg came up stating a google file couldnt be opened,apart from that all was well..
so i decided i needed a restore to start again,i couldnt work out how to restore from titanium so i did a master reset and reinstalled the software off the garmin site..
i want to try this again...this time ill just root and root explore.
has anyone got any tips or ideas for me..
where i went wrong before etc
cheers
guys whats happening? lol
everybody is ruining the bastard. ha ha
mine is broken too, a50, i rooted the damn brick with faulty app, then it got slow and unstable, so i did the master reset, wow. now a virus warning stacks on the screen after start up and pin code, saying the battery cover is open and ask for restart, crazy retarded.
so it doesnt let me to do anything.
I need to install the ROM via USB plug, anyone got an idea if it works? Im actually mushroom, so I need to know which Rom is good, like 2.1 update works? and can pour the rom into its chip using USB cable?and if yes, how should I do it.
Plug the phone into the wall or computer.
power it off.
Hold the D-Pad left while powering the phone back on.
"Wipe Userdata" should appear on the screen. Let go, and let it run.
It will restore the phone to factory settings, including all software.

About the phone:
1. I dont know the exact phone model, but it is Cloudfone Ice plus. There is a phone called Cloudefone Ice (Huwawei u8500) but i dont know if mine has another name.
2. It looks like this,
h++p://cdn2.sulitstatic.com/images/2012/0926/222830332_22162996997ba02ceb979675b8093b33516b3b725d6504ce0.jpg
3. Adroid version 2.2.1
4. Detected as "Globe Phone" in Google Play Market. *Globe is a carrier in our country.
The Problem:
When I turn it on, the android logo appears, and stays like that forever.
Cause:
After I tried to install a custom ROM using update.zip in recovery mode, the process got aborted in the last part of the installation.
5. I'm not sure if it's fully rooted, I have superuser but when I tried Root Checker before, it's not.
Other info,
I already tried to boot in recovery mode(it's the only mode that I get into now), I wiped data and cache/factory reset.(still stuck on boot screen)
I tried to install other Roms(update.zip), but all gets aborted in the beginning
I tried to download an update.app file in a dload folder in the root of sd card(firmware for huwawei)- I can't go to update firmware.I can only go to recovery mode.
I tried adb, I can use adb devices, it shows MT(serial number)
adb shell shows adb shell exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: no such file or directory exists
superboot cant detect the device.
I boot the device using power button+volume up,
when I use power+volume down, android logo appears and "Factory Mode" in the lower left (then It stays there forever, whatever button i press)
These are the infos that I can give, please help, I'm looking for fixes since yesterday from google and forums but no luck, nothing works so I decided to post my own.

[ROM & ROOT]
Here we are going to install a mix of two ROMs in order to make the phone usable again..
You need to download these files;
SP Flash Tool;
http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/6833714/file.html
e1901;
http://www.4shared.com/file/9bsP-vQV/
e1920 (this should be original system, but when you install just this,
some red triangle appears and system will not continiue to load, so just do it like I will show you in this tutorial);
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=506476&uk=4178083362
Then, first you need to flash entire e1901 ROM to your phone, using flash tool..
After that you will need to flash only first six parts of e1920 ROM, it is shown in Pic0;

}
Also then download this; http://www47.zippyshare.com/v/70264800/file.html
Flash that recovery.img alone without any other part of ROM (that is Clockworkmod Recovery PORT)..
Now download this file; http://www47.zippyshare.com/v/52522093/file.html
That is ROOT for your phone, you need to put that file on your SD card and then put battery in your cellphone, pres Volume UP and Power Button together, that will send you to CWM recovery, from there install that file from your SD card, and restart your phone..
If it forces you to CWMR, just flash again the first six parts of e1920 ROM, and when you start your phone it should work fine..
But now You will have to SET your IMEI number becouse this is factory ROM, I am actually not sure how to do that, becouse I did not need that ( ..I have my CWM backups from before.. ..) ..so on that one you are on your own, but yes now you have ROOTed working phone again so it should not be that difficult to pull that off..
[UNBRICK]
Now I will post some pictures on how to unbrick your phone in case you get it hard bricked by trying out some other ROMs..
You will need to conect KCOLO and GND(or any other ground surfice on the phone), connect your phone with USB and start flashing the ROMs (like it is explained earlyer), pictures showing how to connect your phone and create a "jumper" are Pic1 and Pic2;
Pic1
Pic2
This will make your phone usable again.. and it is very stable.. maybe later I will try to make even better ROM, but for now this is it..
Special thanx to Mr. Dirk from ColonelZAP who helped me with unbricking the phone!!!
If this little tutorial helpd you just remember to hit THANX button.
*** UPDATE ***
Okay here is the way to enter you imei number;

It will work for sure!
Hi. recently I have been trying to change the android_id, and ran into a problem in the process. i resulted to editing the setings.db file. since then after i fixed permissions, and restarted, now the home button doesn't respond. I know it isn't a hardware issue because when i press it the LED lights still respond by blinking when I push it, but that's it. please anyone? this is a gift

Restoring the file should get it working as usual. If you don't just re flash your ROM. That's the only way I knit that will fix it. Or open your ROMs .zip. Locate the file and push it to your phone.

I'm not sure, I don't own a lg.
Just open up a file explorer in your phone. Then just type in the search "settings.db" and it should should the file. Up the top it shows you what folder its in. Then just a find a ROM or stock ROM you're using then find it in that, then push the file to the destination in your phone using adb.

Maybe you use titanium to remove some development install. Here is it, on my phone

A few weeks ago, my hidden Magisk Manager (hidden as "Settings") stopped working. When I try and launch the generic Settings app it sets up, I get the normal FC menu ("Settings keeps stopping") error. I also get it when I open up any app that I previously allowed root access to, but obviously I cannot add new apps superuser access. I also get the FC every time I reboot the phone.
I haven't updated my OnePlus 9 Pro since the ColorOS 12 update came out, as 1) was not a fan, and 2) everything I read said I'd need to wipe the phone to get root back. Needless to say, it's been a while. My phone is currently on the 11.2.10.10.LE15AA version.
This just started happening one day, but I have no idea why. I am not sure what version of Magisk I am on, because I can't open the app. I also tried downloading the latest and installing the APK, but when I launch it, it's says things need to be "fixed" and to reboot. I then get the choice the normal Magisk installer brings up. I tried doing a direct install, but it failed. I also tried to restore the boot image, but it said the backup wasn't found (never seen that either, as I restore images every time I do an OTA).
Not sure what to do at this point. I'm at a complete loss. I would appreciate any help you guys can provide!
Do a LOGCAT to get the very reason why Magisk is not working.
I tried to get it as quickly as possible to minimize clutter, but it's still pretty long. I believe I've found where in the log the FC I captured (by looking for "zygote", but not sure what to make of it. It sounds like a file or something is missing.

Doesn't seem like the logcat file got attached.
