Skyrocket lost gallery app after root

I routed my skyrocket with the one click root. During setting it up afterwards I noticed the three gallery app was missing. I reinstalled the stock Rom to unroot. (Had problems but overcame them... different topic) Tried the superuser root method with the same results and noticed the buddy widget was also missing. Reloaded stock and haven't rooted since. Anyone have any ideas why I would lose apps and how to prevent it next time I try to root? Oh I did a Nandroid backup before the second root but the MD5 was corrupted when I tried to restore from it. Thanks inn advance for any help our suggestions.

fluke, I've never heard of this. U must have done something

The first time,I thought I may have accidentally deleted it, the second time I had just finished rooting and checked for the gallery right after that and it was missing again. It was there prior to rooting.

[/COLOR]How is it possible to accidentally delete the gallery? Rooting does not delete apps.....eother u flashed a rom with gallery missing or you deleted the gallery. And cant figure out how to get it back....so we need more info???? Be honest and elaborate please...
Flashing any rom. Would give u gallery back. Unless you found one
missing the gallery.

Use an alternate... I use QuickPic (free in Market.. or should I say PlayStore)... better and more reliable than Gallery.

Really. Thanks gpna check that put now.

Haha, Iv'e been doing the same. At first I thought It disappeared, but then realized it is not by the M's anymore since it starts with P now. Lol

Try rooting with the Odin method. Its in the dev section. Not is it only the best root method IMO, but it gets you familiar with Odin. Which is essential.

I think I Odin the first time and
Superoneclick the second. Haven't really had time (or desire) to try it again.

Drop this in system>app and see if it works for you

Thanks but I flashed back to the original Rom. I'll keep it in mind since I might try too riot it again this weekend.

Need a little help rooting. Instructions are not working.

Hello all,
So I just picked up a Galaxy Note 10.1 today and of course I went to root it. I found instructions on several sites and they are all the same, so I figured I would just do it. I went with the instructions at http://rootgalaxynote.com/ and here is the issue:
I copied the SU file to the internal storage and took the MicroSD out just to be sure.
I booted into the unit using the power+volume down and then hit the power up to continue.
Got the downloading screen and ran Odin. Selected the "highonandroid..." into PDA and hit start. It went through and showed it was successful/passed.
I rebooted and then held down the power+up volume until the logo appeared and then let go of the power but continued holding the power up button per the instructions.
Instead of going into CWM it goes into "Android system recovery <3e>" with a dead Android dude with the red exclamation point.
The unit still boots fine into Android, but when I repeated the above steps it shows:
Product Name: GT-N8013
Custom Binary Downloaded: Yes (4 counts) (yes, tried it 4 times to see if I was just doing something wrong)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Now I did buy this tablet used, so I don't know what the previous owner might have done, but it seems what I'm doing should work regardless.
I've been Googling and searching here for about 2 hours now and I can't find anything that talks about this issue or what I can do to fix it. Would love to get this back to ground zero with a factory image but I can't even find the N8013 image. I looked on the sammobile.com site or whatever and only see the N8010 which might not be the same.
So if there is anyone that can help, I sure would appreciate it!

The problem seemed to be installing CWM. All of the other websites missed one key step that I noticed slightly different on here. So to help others in my dilemma, I'll point it out here.
When you go to use Odin to install CWM, turn off the checkbox for auto-reboot. Then, instead of rebooting, hold down the power and volume up key until it reboots and you get the logo. Then release the power button but keep pressing the volume up key.
Doing this allowed me to get into CWM and flash the SU zip file.
Hope this helps others. I'm going to have to send Zedomax a note to update his video!

Glad you got it working..

Yes unless you boot into CWM immediately after installing ODIN the system will override the stock recovery

Help needed for BRICK

I think I may have finally done it. I flashed the latest slim rom (vers 6) today, booted into the ROM and set it up. No problems. Then I flashed faux mainline kernel. I followed the instructions for the kernel install, and hit reboot as last step. The phone shut off and did not reboot. I am now unable to turn on, boot into recovery, or download mode. When I attempt to connect to the PC to try and ODIN back to stock, the phone will not connect to the PC. I have the latest Samsung drivers installed and have connected to my PC previously with no problems. I know I downloaded and installed the right version for my phone, I have flashed kernels many times before.
Am I screwed now? I have insurance on the phone, but really would like to get the phone back from the grave if at all possible. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

Never heard of the kernel ... Got a link to it???

Going through the history of my browser, it looks like I did a bone head and flashed a Nexus 4 kernel to my VZ GS3. Am I screwed?

Possibly ... Your kernel tells your phone what to do and how to do it ... If you can't get Odin to connect there's a big issues but I've never flashed a wrong kernel so research around a bit for more info ... You can't get into download mode or recovery mode??

Boost ics stock rom?

Does anyone have Boost ics stock rom? My bootloader is unlocked and I have cwm but s-on. I don't have a way to get on a pc. Can I install through recovery with a nandroid or a .zip with s-on?

Sorry I didn't mean to post this in this thread. I'm not sure how to move it..

A moderator has to move it upon request. Yes, one is available on here, but you are S-On so you may have to pull the boot file from the backup, change name to boot.img then flash it using fastboot (which requires a pc)
However, I haven't been S-On in a long time so I could be wrong about the boot.img...
@russellvone could you elaborate for me.

Thanks for the quick reply! I know flashing probably wouldn't work and I already tried to use a jb nandroid from my brothers phone which didn't work which is why I was wondering if a stock ics unrooted would work

I'm not real sure what happened. All I did was do factory reset in cwm and now its stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant

Haha, that's simple, when you did a factory reset in CWM you formatted your partitions. Your boot.img is still intact but you have nothing on your data, system, etc so there is nothing to load which is why you are not getting past the screen. Only do a factory reset in a custom recovery when like flashing a Rom for example. Which version OS were you on originally before you wiped your phone out ....

Ahh I see, and ics 4.0. This sucks because I just got this new phone. The old ones power button broke lol

I don't have an ICS backup, but I know @russellvone does. He keeps stuff like this on hand for just a situation like this one. However, you should only need to flash the system.img and be good after that. I recommend doing an OTA update in your settings once you get your device back up and going. We will be receiving 4.2.2 with Sense 5 soon.
Anyways, I tagged him as you can see. Just visit back here periodically to see if he replied back. He will, I guarantee you that. He will help you restore your device

Okay, thanks for the help! Much appreciated!!! Would I have to flash the system.img with fastboot or would it be in a nandroid?

You will use your custom recovery. He will explain the steps. .

You can use a JB backup but you will need the firmware.zip that comes in the JB OTA to flash in rebootRUU to complete the process on your device.
I sent a pm to russellvone about the situation so when he responds he should already be good to go to help you out.

Lol this stuff is so confusing. I'm still a noob on this phone haha. I wish there was something like mobile odin for HTC devices

Also, go S-Off so next time if something goes wrong like this you won't need a PC (unless it is something serious lol).

Yeah I've been checking this off and on. You guys are life savers!! Thanks alot!

Your boot.img is still intact so flashing that Rom should get you booted up just fine. If for any reason you get stuck on the HTC screen then you will need to extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot (however that shouldn't be necessary since you are still on stock boot.img for ICS)

Okay gotcha. Seriously though thanks for all the help lol. I know this is probably getting annoying with all the questions

Everyone on XDA is a noob. Don't care what their skills are. Skills just mean they have more knowledge and experience in one area but it doesnt mean they know everything. So no worries with the questions. Ask away when need to. Though, try to post in the right location next time lol

[Q] Andriod v4.2.2 ?

I would like to root my SGT-P5113 that has been upgraded to v4.2.2..I have had problems every since this update....Does the root instructions and files still pertain to this, or do I need a different file, if so, what is it? (I am referring to :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056)

I found this method to be much simpler:

You still can do with the thread instruction to root, what is important is what comes after.
Make sure you flash latest recovery for your devices after rooting, and then you'll happy to use any rom you like!

Thanks, u guys, however, I have another issue..after this update, I am unable to get to my developers option in settings, it keeps force closing...do u all happen to know work around for this?
