Hello guys, i just got a s4 mini clone and was busy uninstalling system apps, i mistakenly uninstalled the lock screen apk of life companion and now when my phone locks, i cant unlock. I got a way around it though, i wiped it from recovery and it restarted without locking, i then went into settings and disable auto lock from security not from Lock Screen where i can edit its full settings, i then downloaded another lock app from play-store which i currently use to lock my phone now. I just need someone to gimme the default apk so i can put it back in the system/app folder so it automatically re-installs after a wipe. Thanks in advance
Hi there,
Its really hard to recommend you some firmware because its a clone device. The only chance for you is to flash stock firmware exactly for your device but you can try asking from where you are buy it.
In other way we have an dedicated forum for S4 mini where also can ask :

Please be patient,& Gentle with me, I'm new here,,, (TY) Hi, I have a Pantech P9060 (old I know ) Android 2.3.4 , Gingerbread( Stock Rom). It's rooted. It will turn on, load in the boot screen- and stop there, and if I touch the power/menu keys, it will start the loop acting boot process, without re-starting the phone , just continuous boot screen. I have changed the boot screen probably 3/4 times from the original AT&T screen using Jimmy Rummel apps, Rom Installer . I've tried returning back from backup, Titanium Pro, I backed up to google drive as well, but regardless I can't seem to reset to factory( which I've done before), or even update, Nothing.. It's so frustrating. I've searched these forums inside out for a solution as to not bother you guys with my old phone issues, but I have to admit, I need help with this. I don't think it's hard bricked, I'm thinking I may have flashed the wrong Rom( im not sure though) trying to upgrade from 2.3.4 .. Not positive though. I sure hope there's someone to help me here, It wont connect to the PC syncing, Pantech PC Suite, yet my pc shows the phone in Device Manager and Computer. So I'm hoping I've done something simple, :/ stupid,,but simple. Anyone help me out ? Thanks in advance.......

Hey guys, so I don't know very much at all about android but this site seemed to me to be the best place to try and get an answer.
I own a Nexus 5 running stock Android.
Today I attempted to download and install Android Lollipop however i think something unlucky happened.
Halfway through the download my phone apparently reached its monthly data limit and stopped the download.
When it stopped the download window disappeared and when i got home to wifi, i got a notification saying that it had finished downloading and was ready to install.
The download started and the android man came up with the progress bar but when the progress bar reached the end nothing happened.
I then stupidly turned the phone off and when it came back on i noticed that there was the new type of boot screen but it loops on that.
I have alread gone into the restore menu and reset system and cleared the caches but it hasn't worked.
No idea what to do now, please help me!!!!
Thanks
Hi there
You can ask for help here, but please be more specific about what you actually did to your device, so it's more clear on what "formatting" you did.

I recently bought a NeuTab N9 Tablet from amazon for about 60 bucks. As soon as it came in the mail I proceeded to tweak it with custom launchers, icon packs, and rooting it. I downloaded PimpMyRom in order to increase the resolution as the tablet is Chinese made, very cheap and generic, which meant the resolution was horrible. After i did that it started slowing down until I decided to reboot it and now it is stuck in the NeuTab logo splash screen. It turns on, flickers once or twice and remains that way. I am able to get it into the stock recovery mode. I tried clearing the cache and resetting it completely. My next step was to flash a custom Rom but i am unable to find any online due to it being an obscure and unknown brand.
Before it got bricked it was running stock 4.2 Jellybean, rooted with Impactor. I'm not sure about the kernel though. Any help is appreciated. If this thread is not in the correct place i apologize, I'm new.

I've just successfully rooted my Samsung G530H thanks to CF Auto Root. So 1 day after using my rooted phone without seeing any problem, I decided to download and try using Chainfire3D (it was kind of weird cuz' my first search on Google Play Store didn't show Chainfire3D). Like any other users, I explored the new app and tried to install CF3D driver. I saw something pop-up on the screen after tapping "Install CF3D....." (it could be a warning), before I could read it I accidentally tap something on that pop-up-thing, making my phone reboot. The logo showed up and it kept freezing like that for 3 hours (and maybe forever). I searched for solutions but most of them were about flashing ROM, and I had no ROM installed on my phone. I tried to wipe data/factory reset but it was no use, now I cannot connect my phone as USB cable to PC too. Now I don't know what to do because my phone has really become a brick with buttons and holes on it.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
If you had USB debugging turned on, can connect with that same computer to pull your files.
You may be able to flash a custom recovery via ODIN if your digitizer is not broken (that is, your phone can still register touches), by entering download mode, and confirming by tapping a little left of center. Once you have the custom recovery, you can do ADB as well.
Other than that, you would need a working screen (and digitizer) again to grab the files. So warranty work may be in your future.
Here is someone recent with a similar problem (albeit with an S6 Active):

A teaser with method two I mentioned:
> Samsung Galaxy S6 > Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Hard reset with a broken LCD screen?
If you have questions about any of this, feel free to ask in either of the two threads above (once you have an XDA account so you can post there).
Hope this helps, and good luck!
