[Q] Is this wise?

Hi everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 and when trying to put an apk into the system/apps folder I accidently the apps folder out of the system folder and now it dosn't start. It runs through the boot animation but then displays a black screen playing the force close vibration pattern. But it boots into recovery and download mode fine so I may as well try a factory reset. So I did and still the same. So now all I can do is flash a ROM. And the one that I want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689310
Cannot be flashed by Odin but only CMW. So now I have to flash a new kernel to get CMW, This one:
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-s-wi-fi-rj-custom-kernel-overclock-84994/
But is it wise to do this in the state my device is in? And also I don't have usb debugging enabled.
Can You help?

I dont have hardly any experience but from a general from a general idea/thought, why dont you flash the latest official rootable firmware from Samsung, thus succesfully rooting it, install CWM recovery, from there install the rom you were talking about

I know that is the sensible idea but i'm not a one for flashing roms or kernels as I get worried about bricking and I would prefer to do it all at once.

Buut yeah, factory resetting only wipes the /data & the /cache partition, if you don't have stuff in the /system partition it won't start.
Just go to your device's forum, follow the procedure and your phone will be running like butter again ^^

Its almost impossible to hardbrick a Samsung phone ;-)

I feel really silly asking this question cause i'm new to all this you see but what procedure?

Dosn't matter now. Fixed it by installing a different ROM

Guys help me find model number micromax

Note : I am not a n00b, but the situation is like this:
I need to ask this into Question and Answer forum but currently It's not available (May be server down or link dead). I got a Micromax Canvas Tablet gifted by friend because he has forgot the pattern lock. And I went to recovery and decide to wipe/clear data and cache but unfortunately, this option is not available only two option:
1) Update from adb
2) reboot system now
Then, I decided to flash it but don't know the model number, I asked to him and he forgot it, but his guess was "p4__" and I google it, and found Micromax P480, so I downloaded the rom and try to flash with "Download" option but SPFlashtool error message (I don't remember) and recommended me to use Format All + Download option, then I proceed with this step, the flash has gone successfully with no errors but problem is touch screen is not working at all. I get language selection screen and I can't click on next or anything. All hardware buttons are working like volume and power. I pressed Power button and I came to know I have to press at the bottom-end of the screen.
After 2 days, I found a small written something, and I looked it carefully and that text was T702_ I think it's a model number and give search for Micromax Canvas P702 on google to look at photos, everything matches except the dts written on backside. Anyway I tried to try this firmware and this time SP flash tool giving me error "Chipset doesn't match".
Now, I am so tired finding this tablet model, please does anyone have similar tablet or anyone have good knowledge with Micromax phones? My friend has thrown the box and bills so no documents.

🤔 👉 Xiaomi Redmi's - com.miui.securitycenter and other spyware

On my donut MIUI phone which I continued to use for quite sometime after AT&T phone was messed up and the latter's warrenty wasnt quite honored the way I wanted it , I noticed strange things happened when i started using MIUI ( that would be since 2 months , before that I was on a Custom ROM that supposedly had a VoLTE fix , which never worked and pushed me to stock ) . Here are some of the ' ghosts' responsible for haunting my phone which otherwise seemed to have a fair build and hardware
-- MIUI cleaner --> status disabled -->
Q ? can I throw it out completely without bootloop​
-- Booster - same as a
above
--com.miui.securitycenter
Here's another post I opened here on this. You cant throw it out . Q ? If you cant throw it out what can you do it make it in effective .
. Do we make changes in the boot image and how
All this is the remnant after I debloated MIUI safely much as I could
Am i just plain paranoid because this is a Chinese phone ? here's my A
It deleted my entire WhatsApp data folder /data/data/com.whatsapp . ​logcat gave me confirmation its some MIUI un-invited crap
It did the same to my Youtube folder
Later on it revoked all permissions i granted to a bunch of apps e.g. contacts and storage denied to Whatsapp and you could only see Phone #'s instead of names
Whats happening can someone explain ?
It erratically without any logic starts killing apps that are left to run in background. ( MIUI optimizations were turned off notwithstanding it all this happened )
It appears to 'inject' any app you install with facebook ad services
and yes this is an original stock ROM I d/l from official MI site
my phone is redmi 8a and this is MIUI 11.03x w/ TWRP & magisk

rofl ...you bet !!!..... you bet and you better ...haha

Hello Kaygo
Have you done a factory reset after the upgrade?
If not you should try it.

Hello,
I have updated to miui 14.0.1.0 from xiaomi.eu and now i want to rollback to 13.0.9.0 but can't.
It's android 13 and i'm afraid to brick it.
The phone is poco x3 pro 256/8.
Can someone help me with this problem?

Google will backup wifi, some settings, etc... but you can also use the phone's built in "Back up and restore" feature (very customizable).
Settings > About phone > Back up and restore

Same me! After update I have a problem with battery :-(
