Hello everyone,
I rooted my device ( LG Nexus 5) a few weeks ago, then I installed an app called "Cracked Play Store".
Until then, no problems. Then, bored by the new icon of the cracked play store (a yellow smiley on a bag) I decided to unistall the app and from then my Play Store is not working anymore . I'm very upset about this, I've searched all over the internet with no solution. I tried all possible things (clearing cache, disable the app,....) but none are working.
So I'm now asking to anyone a possible way to recover my regular properly working Play Store . I was also asking myself if it was possible to replace the play store install folder by a properly working one and if so could someone send me those files
Thank you in advance for the help
PS: I'm a french speaking, so excuse my possible mistakes

trying to get apps for free i see? you know people work on those, put time into it. if you put time into making an app, how would you feel if people were stealing it?
anyways, boot into your recovery, wipe your dalvik. then boot up, and install a fresh play store apk.

so how did you root? maybe you only unlocked the bootloader? if you are using the default recovery, then you could not have flashed the su binaries. you need to flash a custom recovery for that, either twrp or cwm recoveries. stock recovery doesnt give you an option to wipe dalvik, only custom recoveries do.
Just reflash the factory image and take it from there. We have no idea what this cracked play store may have modified, and simply clearing cache/dalvik may not be enough to reverse whatever it changed. In the future don't download warez, it's not not fair to the developers, and as you can see they can mess up your phone. If you want to download paid apps, you can get your parents to buy you store credit at the Google Play store.

He could have just boot in to custom recovery via adb without flashing it and use it to install superSU binary. I do it all the time. I'm rooted and running stock recovery right now. No offense, just clarifying it is possible..

Yeah i bought one for my son and i cant even get it to go to the lexibooks app store. I wonder if we could find out the chipset and port a stock nexus7 rom to it or something. Maybe even create our own update.zip
Poop splash gives you AIDS... and an iPhone
I've had a go at compiling aosp before... I'd love to give this a try.
I've been looking for exploits so we can have root.. but there's no point without first having a working clockworkmod recovery. Because u couldn't backup or flash another ROM without it.
If we knew what chipset it was based on.. it would give us somewhere to start. Also some source code would be nice.
I'd be happy to do some builds and test.. but I would need to know I have a backup I can flash if all goes wrong.

Hi,
I did this and the screen shows an android laying down with the cover ("hood") open and an exclamation mark inside a red triangle. What does this mean? Can I do a factory restore? Please help, I got me one of these at a flea market with the plan to give it to my daughter and now it's useless, but she saw it and is all excited about having her own tablet and I'm going to have to buy a new one if I cannot make this one work. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I had same problem and asked the customer service.
Here is the reply from them.
Please find the steps to unlock the tablet:
Select the settings icon in the corner of your tablet.
It will ask you for your password, leave it blank and the keyboard comes up.
On the bottom of the screen there is a small icon of a keyboard, press on it and then you will press on "set up and input" the settings comes up, press on "back up and reset" then "factory reset" then "tablet reset".
The tablet will be reset in 3 to 5 min, let it restart then put a new password.
Please be aware that if you do a factory reset, the tablet program will be restored but all your datas and applications may be erased except the applications installed by default on the tablet.
Did anyone get theirs rooted at all? If so, could someone help me out? I was trying to put CWM on mine and it seems to be bricked. I can get into flash mode, but have image to flash. So if anyone is rooted, hopefully we can use DD to dump the stock image.
Thanks
If anyone is still interested in this thread, I just acquired a little MFC270EN and successfully rooted it with KingoRoot. I was able to remove all the little games and annoying bloatware. I haven't tried flashing another version of Android onto it, but it's working fine and I'm using Google Chrome (I removed the Lexibook browser with all its "safety" lol), checking my Facebook and I just installed Link2SD to give it some more space.

when you turn on the phone the samsung screen will last only for like 1 second as opposed to 3-5 seconds with a locked bootloader. also you can download an app from the market called EZ-unlock. if you are unsure unlock it again. then it will read "unlocked" under the device status.

I've looked and looked for the EZ-unlock in Google Play but thus far have yet to find it. I've tried everyway you can to spell it to try and find it but to no avail. Where else would I need to look, and if I find it how do I use it on the phone, being that it's already been rooted?

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/
use the 1.2 version it is still the best
use. press unlock to unlock the bootloader. and lock to relock it. it is that simple.
ps. make sure you have a custom recovery to install CM10.1.
also it is imperative you create a backup ASAP. also you may want to backup your IMEI if you are going 4.2.2
Just got dropbox, how do you backup the IMEI dropbox? I have CM10 on my sd and ready. What, I just unlock the bootloader to flash, then lock it back when done? Thank you so so much.

you are going to need gapps that will work with CM10 so get those too.
this thread will show you how to backup your imei. 3 different ways.once this is done you can
1. create nandroid backup (very important.)
2. perform factory reset, wipe delvick and cache.
3. flash CM10
4. Flash Gapps.

Ok, first of all thank you so much! This is the most help I've ever had on here. Been using Unleashed Prepaids, but like it much better here. I'm still new at this, so please bear with me. What are gapps, my other phone LG MS770, says google gapps stopped working all the time, and do I need to use odin for any of this or just install and flash from sd? Sorry so many questions, just want to be very thorough as to not brick my phone. Thank you again!! One more thing, do I do all this with or without sim card in phone?
I don't want to make a really long post so I'll get straight to the point:
I own a rooted ALCATEL OT-991d. So today I was scrolling through App Manager when I saw Google Services Framework. So the thing is, after the root, my phone started having errors I didn't have before. My download notifications in the System UI from the Browser and Google Play wont vanish. I'll press clear and after a time it's all going to vanish but after a few minutes or after I open Google Play it just goes back again.
So here's the problem: I thought that Google Services Framework was the culprit (I know that was very stupid of me. Now I know what it is for) so I deleted it. Actually I hesitated and cancelled the operation but it was too late. So I tried looking the solution up, but to no avail. I downloaded 3 types of the said Framework but it wont install. I kept on getting the "Application Not Installed" Error.
So now I did a Factory Reset. So everything worked fine, except for the Setup Wizard. I was able to set the language and such but when I came to the "Set Up Google Account" part, it kept of crashing (because Google Service Framework is already gone) thus a fruitless loop. Now I can't even use my phone at all 'cause I can't bypass the freaking Setup Wizard.
Any tips? I can't buy a new phone at the moment so I'm at my wits end here.
I'm sorry for the long post and if I violated anything, it's because I'm quite new here.
My phone is on Android 2.3.6. I didn't have a chance to check the baseband etc. 'cause I never knew this would happen. But if you guys need it I can check my sister's device since we have the same phone. Thanks!
Update
Okay I found a solution..
I want to install a new ROM but I don't know how. I downloaded something like an Android 2.3.6 ROM and when I try to install it it says the signing failed blah blah. Help? Do I have to wipe the phone of its stock ROM?
Can anyone provide me with a working ROM for Alcatel OT-991d? Stock ROM's fine.
Thanks!

When it says zip verification failed its because you need to install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or TWRP in order to flash custom ROMs
And Mate, Always do some searching before asking a question! There's already a guide on xda-developers teaching how to flash the stock ROM on Alcatel OT-991d
Anyway, I hope your phone works! Good luck

Well The purpose of this thread since i couldn't find anything related to this is to talk about this device to share info on what have people done to it or just share their personal experiences. My experience to buying it was i saw it on clearance for $39.99 and bought it just to use the app showbox and everything beside that is a plus. I haven't rooted it yet but i plan too even tough idk what i could do by rooting it since i don't think much development has gone into it. Well i hope people post on this if not i made a dud.
Here is a site with info for rooting and the specs and info on this box

Neotv GTV100 update to 4.0 or 4.2.2
Hi,
I got my hands on this device in dec last year. Box perform well with USB mouse and keyboard, appear to be sluggish
with its original remote. Image on TV is good at 1080P. I can list what app I use upon request.
I ask for help me upgrade this box to 4.0 or 4.2.2 . My knowledge is limited in this area.
Up to now I was able to do the following:
Install recovery (2e) and being able to flash from usb any image listed below.
I used the Amazon fire package "adbfw115" to flash recovery, usb keyboard, hub, mouse, rom toolbox apk.....etc.
I can provide details upon request
I flashed original image found online
NeoTVPrime-ota.v1.0.9.zip
Then I updated the device. I was able to save the following images.
NeoTVPrime-ota-v1.1.33.zip
NeoTVPrime-ota-v1.1.45.zip
I can upload upon request, both are less than 300Mb
If somebody can take a copy from LG GTV 4.2.2 update I can compare with this ones.
I do not know how to fix/upgrade an image, I am just a tester.
Thanks

Hi,
sorry too busy....
Soooooooo, you must reboot in recovery.
You can use the fire adbfw117 (google is your friend) or rom toolbox (i have paid version) or ....probably there are many other. You must enable Setting - Applications - debugger IP ( your PC IP) + Remote debugging and Mock locations.
Once in recovery - (you need a USB keyboard) is a old (2e) version you can:
1) reboot
2) install update.zip from USB (I was able to flash any of the version listed above, I lost root but was able to re-install using the pawn patch (many thanks to people who made it happen)
3) wipe data / factory reset (that's probably what will help you with chrome issue)
4) wipe cache partition
Here I'm stuck because I do not know how to "mod" a rom or recovery. I was hoping
somebody can land me a hand to go further
Good luck

**You must have ROOT first**
So it is actually pretty simple,
*Download the file i uploaded
*Unzip the TWRP file
*Download FlashFire
Now I did have OEM Unlock in Developer Settings and BusyBox installed when I did this, not sure if it makes a difference.
*Make sure BusyBox is up to date
1. I suggest doing a backup
2. Flash the TWRP file that you unzipped as Firmware Package
3. Done
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WIPE DEVICE THROUGH THE OPTION IN SETTINGS!!!
P.S. all this is done at your own risk. im not responsible for any bricked devices.
Thanks for the edit suggestions @Casey Campanile

I can't believe no one has thanked you or at least said good going on this.I've had my Flint for about 6 months and used it as a backup mostly.I was sitting at work tonight waiting on the boss and I decided to look up and see if anyone had did anything with the Flint yet.I was floored when I came across your post. Everything is working great with TWRP but if I let it timeout and screen go dark it won't allow me to swipe to unlock.Not a big deal to me but I wanted to report it to you since no one else seems to be commenting on this.I appreciate your hard work and taking the time to do it. Great job!!! ? ??

I've got an issue with TWRP I can't seem to find anything on.Wanted to see if you could help me figure it out.Initially after installing all was well.Made a backup and rebooted.Today,a month later I wanted to do a factory reset and Initially tried via settings/backup/device reset.It just rebooted back to home screen.I then rebooted into TWRP and tried via wipe but nothing will mount.My SD card won't even mount and everything shows all 0's.Any ideas?I'm not a noob by any means but I can't figure this one out.

Hmm, that's seems weird haven't experienced that before. I haven't tried to do a full swipe yet on this phone. Did it complete the wipe?

No it didn't.I couldn't get anything to mount in recovery to complete a wipe.I think perhaps that we should do a warning about trying to wipe from backup/reset in settings.At least until we figure this out.I was finally able to do a reset via Flash fire but nothing will mount in recovery still.

That sounds like a good idea only thing I would try is to try and restore the backup you did and try and reflash TWRP see if that does anything I have yet to try and reset this phone considering its my daily phone currently my lg g3 suffered the fading screen and I couldn't get it fixed

Lol I'm actually looking into one of those too or I was looking at the honor line too but OnePlus seems better

I highly recommend the Honor 5x if youre budget inclined and the Mate 8 if you have a few extra $$.I had the 5x and it actually is a damn nice device.I beat the Nexus 6 in Antutu scores with it.

That's pretty impressive I'm gonna look into that one, one thought just crossed my mind you try flashing your recovery through the fastboot commands on the bootloader?
I tried reflashing every way possible.Still nothing will mount.I think you may want to add a warning to the OP not to try and factory reset via settings.Maybe we can figure it out.
I added it to the OP. Something that might help is when I was digging thru this phone I found out it's the same as the Alcatel pop 3 5.5 looks like they just renamed it
OMG, this has been great. Im all rooted and TWRPd with my Flint now. It is a great feeling, but Im not sure what to do next Are there any benefits to this now? I can't find any custom roms for it...is there a way to get something newer than Android 5.1.1 installed?

No custom ROMs rn but u can install Xposed for lollipop and u can remove bloatware with titanium backup
Cool, so, I'm not clear what Xposed gives me though. Is it worth it?
Hey Xposed has different modules you can install, my favorite are YouTube background play and YouTube ad blocker but they have various ones, just take a look on the downloads section in xposed

Wow, my day is complete. This is great. Going to install soon. Ive been looking for a YouTube ad blocker! :good:
Just wanted to follow up again and say thanks for pointing me to this. I've got the framework installed and now im going through the modules, picking what looks good to me. This is pretty much all I needed I dont care if we never get a custom rom at this point.
Your welcome, there's a lot of modules, I would say just be careful which ones you install and use. Ive had some that gave me problems
CyanogenMod a possibility?
