Hi all,
I am kind of new to the whole Android scene. I need a little help updating my phone. I recently rooted it on 2.2.19.a955. I uninstalled several stock apps, 3G Wifi Hotspot, the Amazon stuff, and something else. I was able to reinstall everything but the 3G Wifi Hotspot. Can't seem to find an apk or recover it or anything.
When I tried to update, it gives me an error saying that it is unable to update.
I am not sure what it is. I think the missing apps or the root is preventing me from updating.
Please help!
Thanks.

Im having the same issue
I also removed some of the bloat and when my OTA update failed I reinstalled all of it from the system dump found in another thread on this forum (it won't let me post a link). I checked all my permissions and made sure they were 644 but my update is still failing on Mynet.apk. I have checked it; it is there and its permissions are 644. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

You could always just flash back to the stock system with the .sbf released in "The Bomb" you probably used to root. Once you do that youve lost root but back to stock then do the OTA update, re-root, and also have your bloat back... Its a little lengthy but Google and your sd card have most everything backed up for you anyway.

I have the SBF. I am just not sure how to flash it back onto my phone. I really don't have that much stuff. I've only installed a few programs. Not a big deal.

Yes that's the one I used to restore my apk's but its still hanging on Mynet.apk

Still having trouble figuring out how to install mynet.apk. I downloaded the file, but I am unsure what to do now.
You have to use adb to install system apps. So, something like:
- put Mynet.apk in your sdk tools folder
- Open command prompt
- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb remount
- adb push Mynet.apk /system/app/Mynet.apk
- adb remount
As a note, I updated to 2.2.20 with root but without removing apps.
If you do use the snf from The Bomb, what is that other file out of curiosity?
Thanks Karnovaran.
Is there anything I need to do with the opek file? I followed your steps generally and I am still not getting anything.
So... I followed your directions. I put Mynet.apk in the folder. Ran ADB, copied the file to the sdcard. Mounted. Ran rageagainstthecage. Copied the Mynet.apk to the apps folder on the system. Same with the odex file, and remounted, and exited, but still nothing...
I was able to flash my phone using the files from the RootzWiki bomb. Flashed it successfully. Now it doesn't have a connection to the Verizon network. No data service. Not sure about phone service though.

You probably need to dial *22899 from your phone before it will get back on the Verizon network.
Does the ota contain something that is really needed. I am debating if I want to unroot just for the ota. Hopefully some one figure away to give us an update that remains rooted.

DROID 2 Receiving Minor Update, Now Allows for User Initiation
On 08.21.10, In News, by Kellex
Share3
If you own a Droid 2, you should be receiving a minor update over the next couple of days and in fact, there is a pretty good chance that you have already been prompted to install it. The update, although minor, does fix a couple of things which will enhance your D2 experience…
Improvements:
+ Enabled text and picture message scrolling.
+ Streamlined set up of Visual Voice Mail feature.
+ Improved contact sync with Corporate Exchange categories
and groups.
+ View accurate contact pictures when reviewing Recent Call Log.
On a related note, it looks like Verizon may be allowing user initiated updates for their new Droid family member. If you check out their update installation instructions, there are now 2 types of software loading: user initiated and server initiated. We also just received this shot which shows that manual updates could start as early as last night, and OTA server initiated updates will start on the 24th if users have not already gone through the process…
After the update you will be running version 2.2.20.en.us.
Via: Verizon Wireless
Cheers Mitch and Shawn!
2.2.20 is root-able, so if you really want it you can do the sbf flash and grab the update before rooting. I don't think we'll be seeing any custom updates for the D2. Let's just thank our lucky stars the sbf showed up.

Darn, wish I knew that before I factory resetted my phone. Do you know this for a fact?
Yes a factory reset is necessary...I just flashed my phone this morning with the sbf and I connected to verizon network but it would not connect to any data connection 3g or 1x, nothing so a factory reset took place and it works almost better than before for some reason lol..my internet connection seems to be more stable and reception is a little better and I've done* 22899 before I rooted and flashed back and this time around its just working better idk..but back to the topic at hand if u* 22899 it will connect you to verizon network but no 3g or anything

Did you try *228? Maybe might have been a better way to go. But thank you for trying.
If you can't update or anything flash an sbf. Isn't hard.
If you are rooted and need to sbf, I used the droid bootstrap recovery to wipe my cache and data, then flashed the sbf from the bootloader (turn the phone all the way off, and hold the up arrow as you power on). Made it a lot easier, and fixed all the errors I was having
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
My Atrix 2 is a 2.3.5 firmware version. ATT 110921_0913
From previous 2 to 3 days my phone is in complete freeze mode...meaning whatever I do to my phone install any app uninstall any app...when I restart the phone it just gets back to the same state....
I have tried factory reset from the settings I didn't worked..... then I tried the hard reset method but that didn't worked too...
After that I tries reloading the stock fxz using the rsd lite but it failed at step 3 saying mbmloader cannot be flashed....
Then I tried the script method...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539167
In that it said that the bootloader is restricted and it cannot write it it wrote the rest of the things but still my phone is in the same state it was with same apps and everything.....
I tried booting into the CWM recovery mode but when I try to run the AtrixBOOtloader.apk it reboots and the restarts normally....
Please I really need som help....
just to let you know I have Go launcher installed I know its absurd to thing that it can be causing the problem...but just in casee....
Please let me know if you need any other information.....
Any help will be greatly appreciated....
Thanks....
More info is always nice:
Are you rooted? Were you running a special ROM? If rooted, did you make any changes to your system? If rooted, do you have a backup made (cause you should)? What did you do (system wise) before this started?
And are you SURE you are 2.3.5? Because all A2's are 2.3.5 out of the box but have since been upgraded to 2.3.6, which is the stock norm for A2's.
PS: From now on please post things like this in the Q&A forum. We're kinda letting this slide so far since it's still new and not everyone is aware of it.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Here are the answers:
Are you rooted? Yes!
Were you running a special ROM? No I did nothing that could mess up my rom or anything...
If rooted, did you make any changes to your system? If rooted, do you have a backup made (cause you should)? What did you do (system wise) before this started? No to above all...this started happening 2-3 days ago after some of my apps were updated...and I dont have any backup
And are you SURE you are 2.3.5? Because all A2's are 2.3.5 out of the box but have since been upgraded to 2.3.6, which is the stock norm for A2's........
I am sure that I am at 2.3.5 because I was not able to install the 2.3.6 update I kept on failing on me while installing on halfway.....
Again I have not done anything related to my system that I could cause this...only thing I can think of is because of some rogue app or something!!!!
Ok now that we have the basics down, one other question, what EXACTLY do you mean by "freeze mode"? What exactly is the phone doing that you don't want it to do? Force closing all the time? If so, what apps?
I'm still a little confused as to what EXACTLY the phone is doing.
The more info the better.
I agree with you Fall of Enosis, we need some more exacted information regarding the OP's issue here.
OP: You say you tried a factory reset, but now are concerned that it is a "rogue app", but unless you've re-installed apps you previously had installed, this is not likely.
What is your location, and do you have access to WiFi or network connectivity to enable the update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6?
Sounds to me as if you have tried to do something that we're not entirely clear of (and perhaps you are not either) and as result you've borked the boot image, but I can't convincingly determine that is the case here. If the phone is still booting into Android, but simply "freezes", then you may have a bad flash of the FXZ.
If you are experiencing "freezing" of the UI or system itself, it could be application-related or a handful of other things.
You really need to be as precise as you possibly can, describing in detail everything you have done, tried, and are experiencing here for us to be of any real help. Otherwise, we're left to 'fishing' for information from you, which wastes everyone's time here.

Yes all of my apps are force closing like motorola.service.....facebook rebtel and many others...sometimes one crashes on other restart some other.....
NOTHING IS ACTUALLY FREEZING
By freeze mode I mean like the deep freeze effect on the PC...I cannot uninstall any app or install a new one cannot make any changes ot my system settings or anything......
So sometimes critical processes closes like contacts process and then no contacts are shown.....I am able to use the phone and the apps which are not closing for that time works prefectly fine....

I am really sorry for not being much more clearer with my problem.....!!
I am currently in US LA and yes I do have wifi connectivity I have tried update several times but I just fails...I think may be I rooted it incorrectly....
I HAVE NOT TRIED TO DO ANYTHING WITH MY SYSTEM
The phone still boots up normally and works fine I mean nothing is freezing ....by freeze mode I mean the whole of the phone memory is frozen like deep freeze on the PC so I cannot make any changes to the settings or install uninstall any apps....moreover on each restart many of the processes keeps on closing...
So agian I will try to make it as clearer as possible.....I have not tried to install any custom rom or make any os or system related changes to my atrix 2....
What is actually happening is I cannot make any changes to my phone memory....I cannot change any settings or install or uninstall anything since as soon as I restart my phone ANY CHANGES WILL DISAPPEAR and it will be back to the exact same state as it was before.....
Please help I am not able to fix this thing....
Ok, thanks for being clearer. It helps.
I have had something like this happen to me, constant moto apps fc'ing.
For me it was an app causing my headache. However the only way i could take care of it was to restore one of my backups.
I think you possibly have an app causing your headache as well. And i think that somehow (whether you know it or not) you accidentally borked the system UI. So before we go to the extreme of fxz'ing back (since you don't have a backup) what kind of rooted apps are you using?
I know YOU didn't personally change anything but rooted apps will make all sorts of changes that you are unaware of.
What rooted apps are you running and more importantly which apps (rooted or not) were most recently installed before this happened?
Don't fret man, we'll work this out for ya.

Maybe.. the flash memory cannot be written?
Is it possible to post "adb logcat" when your apps are force closing or you are trying to do an install? And if you could make adb work, then grab a shell and paste the o/p of the commands "mount", "df" ... Also you may want to try command like "adb install <package.apk>", and check what's the error code returned.

Okay, so I have been playing with the phone form last two days and I have figured out what the problem is...ITS A ROGUE APP...HOW??!!!!
Well, I started my phone in safe mode and I was out of the WIFI reach so no network access then to my surprise everything worked fine like a charm no process was closing and the phone was perfectly fine as it should but as soon as I went into wifi connectivity around 12 of my apps got automatic updates and my phone started f*king again.....
As soon as the updates were installed all my apps started force closing and it was absolutely like a what a virus does on the PC my apps were starting trying to load and then were kill in about 3-4 seconds......
So, it has to be a rogue app nothing else.....I am not sure which app is causing the problem and I don't even remember which app I recently installed but it has to be one of the app which is getting updated...right??
Just for reference these many apps gets the update after which my phone starts messing up....

Foursquare
Facebook
3D Matrix Vol.2 (its a live wallpaper)
TuneIn Radio
Skype
GO Keyboard
Nexus Pro Live wallpaper
GO Locker
(this only these got updated....it can the live wallpaper app I ma not sure)
So, now we know what the problem is...what am I supposed to do now...I have tried uninstalling my apps in the safe mode also but as usuale after the restart I gets back to the same exact state it was.....
Any suggestions will be really helpful....
Also what I am wondreing about is if the app has somehow restricted the mbmbootloader writing isn't there any other way we can write it or change the permission...??
Also thanks for staying with me on this till now

Ok, I am going weigh in here now....
All of this has absolutley NOTHING to do with the Bootloader/mbmloader, not sure where that came from.
My advice is disable all the updates in the playstore, or well the auto update feature, then those apps that you mentioned that are getting updated. After you restore the fxz, this time make sure that the auto update is off, and then update each of the noted problem apps ONE AT A TIME, then when the issue starts you know which one is the problem app, most likely the last app installed or updated, and I would not install that one again. Simple solution here.
Yes this will be painful, because you might have to do the fxz more than once, but it is the best way to know you are back to 100% stock again.

But, I am not able to an fxz completely thats what I said...when I try to do fxz back to stock while trying with rsd lite it failed at step 3 saying cannot write mbmloader
then I tried the script method and it said that mbmloader is restricted and it cannot write to it and it did rest of e things which were in the script.....so not matter how many times I fxz it when I start my phone it just gets back to where I left it...??
All I want is that I can just flush everything my phone nad get it back to as it was new....no apps nothing...

You have a corrupt install, since it did not flash the correct BL, and most likely other files from the fxz. Your issue is that being in that state will make your phone completely unstable as it is. You are most likely partly on 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 at this point.
Did you EVER install the ICS leak?
Did you apply the corerct fxz patch? which version of firmware are you on, and where do you live (what country), and are you using an AT&T phone outside the US?
If you can answer all of that, I am sure I can get you all fixed with a good fxz.

Well to your doubt that I can be partially on 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 .....well that is somehow possible since when the 2.3.6 update came out I tried to install it but it always failed in the halfway...but that never seemed to cause the problem...I tried that a couple of times when the update came out and then I gave up on it ....I thought it may be because I rooted my phone incorrectly.....but still my phone was working perfectly fine after that....

Ok, now you still did not answer the exact firmware version your on... please do this:
Settings --> About phone, now give me the long string of numbers and letters under the following things:
System Version:
Android Version:
Kernel Version:
Build number:
Once I have all of those, I will know how to patch the fxz for you. If you are truely on 2.3.5 there would be no need at all for any fxz patching by the way, that only applies if the 2.3.6 OTA actually took.

Once I have all of those, I will know how to patch the fxz for you. If you are truely on 2.3.5 there would be no need at all for any fxz patching by the way, that only applies if the 2.3.6 OTA actually took.

Once you uninstall these apps, is everything fine? And if so, uninstall them all, and update them ONE at a time to see which one is borking everything.
Can anyone verify that the method posted by Unjustified Dev in this thread will work the the indicated phone model?

I have the newer Model LGL16C/4.4.2/Baseband version M8610B-AAAANAZM-1.0.6060/Kernel version 3.4.0+/Build KOT49I.L16CV11a/Software version L16CV11a/"Lucky". Service provider is Tracfone, aka Crapfone. Attempts to root with Kingroot as well as Kingoroot failed, including several apps which claim to root your phone. I paid less than $10 US dollars for this phone and rooting it isn't high on my priority list, however rooting the damn thing has presented a bit of a challenge.
A working guide to rooting this phone would be great.

Hey so i spent forever trying ro find a root that would work on this. Or a custom ROM anything really. Try going into McAfee Security, setting up an account, go to settings and disable the lock down device option. That was the problem for me at least McAfee was blocking any root from installing. From there i rooted my lucky with kingroot one click root. Hope this helps!
The Easiest Way To Root Your LG Lucky Without a PC
Easy way to install SuperSU on your LG Lucky
Just follow directions
Use KingRoot 4.5.0 app - google KingRoot apk all versions. Download and install apk.
Google replace kingroot with supersu. There will be a few sites popup, Mediafire is where the original .zip file is hosted. You can even search "how to replace/remove kingroot with supersu" here on XDA for more info.
Once you have downloaded the .zip file be sure to extract it to your INTERNAL sd, the script in the zip will not work from your external sd.
Open the extracted file and copy the mrw file to the internal storage, the path should look like /storage/emulated/0/mrw.
Now go to the play store, download and install Terminal Emulator. I use the one by Jack Palevich as it is only 551kb and easy to use.
Open the terminal emulator and type "su" in order to grant super user permission to the emulator,
On the next line type "/system/bin/sh - /storage/emulated/0/mrw/root.sh" and press enter.
Now the script will run and open up SuperSU automatically. Install binary when prompted with the "normal" option. Choose yes when it asks if you want to delete other superuser apps. (this removes kingroot).
Before rebooting phone, go into the settings of SuperSU and enable pro mode, change icon if you wish, enable survival mode, enable su during boot. I think you have to restart app at this point, can't remember as I did this months ago. Then restart the SuperSU app, go back into settings to Install SuperSU into system. Reboot phone,
When phone reboots, this is when Kingroot is finally uninstalled. Your phone will still be rooted with SuperSU. At this point you may wish to update SuperSU as this is version 2.46 and the newest version is 2.71 Beta. You can get the newest version of SuperSU from the thread here on XDA.
(thanks MrWolf for the script to make the change and thank you Chainfire for SuperSU, FlashFire, CF.lumen, etc...)
LGL-16C successfully (so far) rooted using Kingoroot.exe (latest version). Had to change from mtp to camera on USB then was recognized. Have SuperSU 2.72, SuperSU Pro, BusyBox Pro, and Xposed installed with Xblast and Lucky Patcher running. No custom recovery or roms available and I have searched hi and lo. Was a Net10 $15 phone with nothing to lose, so...will try more stuff out another day and post again.

Until any source is made there will be no recovery or ROM and tbh I don't have the time to dig into it currently.. The positive with rooting though is removing the bloat

Hi. Could you tell me how you installed supersu after rooting with kingroot? Thanks
Well I have root and supersu installed but it won't update binary. Any help out there? Thanks
Hey everybody. I did it!! Just root with kingroot 4.5 and replace kinguser with super sume. Worked great. All kingroot stuff is gone!! Ive rebooted 3 times to make sure and all is good.
Well if anyone is interested in looking at the source code, lg support has downloads available for nearly every phone they've ever made.
http://opensource.lge.com/osList/list?m=Mc001&s=Sc002
The file for the LGL16C is on page 2. Every thing seems to be listed alphabetically so it's easy to locate.
I still have my lucky and actually use it often although I no longer have it activated.
@ cecnwv,
Thanks for the link. Using Ares 11 and got "IP banned for 6 hours,try again later" after dbl tppng yellow icon. I did something wrong. Not at my PC. (unfortunately)
Thanks for any enlightenment,

Two 10a LGL16C Tracfones, one free (recon from Tf) and one new $14.95 @ eBay from Best Buy, rooted with everything that has Google in the name frozen (TB) but no image to restore. (twrp)
Has anyone made a complete backup of their system apps using Titanium Backup? Being that one can't use fastboot/download mode (this phone has it locked out and a special USB cable is required) so my backup options were limited. I thought I did a full backup with Titanium Backup, but apparently lost it as I only found a small partial one on my PC.
Issue is I had uninstalled some bloatware and integrated updates for a few apps. But after factory resetting the phone it is behaving a bit odd. The notification bar doesn't really work anymore (apps still able to use sound/vibration to make a notification, but nothing appears in the notification bar) and I am unable to call the phone because it never rings and it immediately goes to voice mail. So the phone app is borked too.
Plus soft button to the right of the home button (I forget what it's called) doesn't bring up the app history anymore so I can't close background apps. (the volume buttons also don't really do anything anymore. Normally using them causes the volume bar for ringtone to appear and if using a media app, the volume bar for media audio comes up instead. But now nothing happens).
The phone is in a pretty broken state and even doing app updates from Play Store doesn't work anymore. Was gonna try and look around if someone has some app/data backup of the system apps installed. This is a TracFone branded phone and is currently running Android 4.4.2 (Kernel version 3.4.0+). Which is the last Android update they made for this phone.
Perhaps there's a single service/app that is responsible for notifications/volume bar that is borked. But I have no idea which system app is broken so a full app restore is my next best option.
The first thing wrong I noticed after resetting it was that the intial setup screen would return everytime I rebooted the phone. (only way i could get that to stop was freezing it in Titanium Backup). So maybe related to that app somehow. I don't recall ever uninstalling/merging update data for that perticular app though so it's probably a side effect of a different app going haywire.
EDIT:
Ok looks like I resolved the issue. I just removed the LGStartupWizard.apk then did a factory reset via Volume Down+Power button combo. It boots straight to home menu now and everything works. I guess the LG setup wizard thing got borked somehow. No more setup wizard but verious things like google account and whatnot can be configured manually via settings so no real loss.
All the missing things like the app history button, lock screen, notification bar, etc are now working as a result of resetting after removing LGSetupWizard.apk.

Awesome, this worked for me too, though the issue wasn't exactly the same. When I got the phone it had already been rooted with Kingo at some point and I noticed after resetting it that I had similar problems (it may have had the issues before the factory reset too, I just didn't notice one way or the other). Anyway, I was getting slightly different misbehavior. No recents key, yes, but also no response from the Home key. Pull-down notifications bar was mostly working, but with no visible notifications and I couldn't press the Setup "gear" in top right. My volume buttons and Play Store were fine, though, but I'd noticed that when I tried further factory resets (from the menu, not via hard reset) that it wasn't "really" resetting, as any downloaded files/etc. remained on the phone. I'd tried freezing LGSetupWizard already, but as you noted, that doesn't fix it for whatever reason. Deleting altogether does. Yay. I do wonder what the hell is happening during the root or reset that triggers this problem, though. It behaves as if Setup Wizard was just never completed, so you remain "locked out" of most of the same functions that are unavailable during setup normally. Oh well.
Anyway, as old ten-dollars-or-less type phones go, this isn't the worst I've ever used by a long shot. Heck, it's arguably better than a few other slightly bigger/newer/pricier crap-phones out there! (Looking at you, ZTE Legacy/Quest...) FWIW, I had "ripped" all of the APKs from /system/app and /priv-app for some reason back when I first got this thing, so if they'd be of use to anyone I'll be happy to upload all or individual files. Hell, if anyone can tell me how to do a full ROM dump I'd be happy to do that too, because there's definitely still no official stock image available online that I could find a trace of. (Granted, I don't know if there'd be any way to utilize a non-official backup image anyway or turn it into a flashable KDZ, but that's not my point...)
Thank you, I got my lucky rooted! I'm wondering if anyone ever found any custom ROMs or recoveries for this device. It seems like this was never popular for any of that, but thought I'd ask. Thanks.
I have a rooted Verizon device that is running stock 4.1.2, since I have the unlimited data and use the free hotspot toggle.
Well, almost none of the current apps works with my phone anymore, its getting very frustrating. I'd like to unroot my phone and just get to the most recent software, then buy Foxfi for the hotspot...will that work?
Is there a better option? Can I upgrade the software without unrooting ?
Any help would be apprecaited, thanks!

If you want to take the OTA update you will need to unroot. I would highly advise against this as you will permanently lock your bootloader down but if that's what you choose then so be it

I see foxfi hasn't been updated in the play store in nearly 3 years. Some roms have the Hotspot feature built in as far as what roms have it built in, as far as newer roms that much I don't know. I'm running the last build of CleanRom and its built in.
I understand a lot of apps currently require a newer version of Android to run. My suggestion would be to check out the development forums for the VZW S3 and see which roms have it built in rather than having to buy the app itself

I tried reading up, but this seems intimidating. Maybe you can point me in the right direction...my ONLY needs are a working camera (slow motion would be VERY nice to have if available), hotspot tether that I can use without paying the monthly fee (I have unlimited data), and software version that actually works with apps from the playstore.
As far as I know, I have 4.1.2 software, unlocked bootloader and I'm rooted.

I dont' really care at all, just one that will work with apps from the play store. Most apps now need at least version 4.2.....I'd like to be on the newest version I can be that has a working camera and hotspot....i'm assuming if I go to a ROM i can still use apps from the play store?

I'll also chime in. If OP is looking to update his phone, there are 2 paths. The stock path, which will be up to KitKat based roms (android 4.4) because that was the last update the S3 ever received. You could install something like superliterom (found in our android developement thread). But from your needs (hotspot, and camera) you can go all the way on to marshmallow (android 6) using CM13 which is what I'm running. The only bugs now are bluetooth (it may crash if you're playing music through bluetooth and receiving a call through bluetooth like in a car for example), gps is slow to lock (which is a problem is most of the CM roms), and some minor front camera bugs ie. instagram will crash, but every other camera and video camera/video calling app will work that I've tried. If I was in your shoes, I would try CM13 to see if you like it, and then bounce down from there to a 4.4 or 4.3 rom as a solid 2nd or third choice. I went from cleanrom, to alliance 4.3, to cm12.1 (I could never get gps to lock on this, but everything else worked), to cm13. They are all solid. Even something like slimkat 4.4 has pretty good reviews. But don't ever take the OTA update...there is no point in that now besides locking your phone forever and limiting the usability of your phone.
I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question, but if I install cm13 will I lose all my text messages, emails, app settings, etc.??

Yes. I wouldn't suggest updating to a newer rom without wiping the internal storage. You could always backup text messages. Emails automatically save to the Gmail app and the app settings well that can't be recovered but you could always set it the way it was previously

I have just installed TWRP 3.0.2 on my device and it appears to be working.
Now what?
Put the files onto my microsd or onto my phone storage?
Install from TWRP and that's it?
I have titanium backup, should I run that first? OR is there a backup option from twrp??
VERY specific directions would be appreciated! Thanks LOL
PS - One last thing, what developer options need to be checked or unchecked if any in my phone settings.

In developer options you really only need to enable USB debugging.
As far as installing the rom putting it on your SD card should be efficient or once in TWRP you can mount the internal and move it into there if connected to a pc. As far as installing it's pretty straight forward.
Wipe internal completely but DO NOT wipe your SD card. Install the zip first then gapps and ensure you wipe cache and dalvik. Once done reboot and let the device sit for about 10 minutes without touching it to let the rom settle down, once done just reinstall everything. I do not recommend to install apps via titanium backup (i.e. Data for those apps) anymore questions feel free to ask

One sure way to end the issue is to get her a non smartphone.
App lock would sorta work but not exactly, pretty much anything you do can be bypassed by either factory resetting or by reflashing stock firmware.
You would have to root and install TWRP then pin lock TWRP so she wouldn't be able to unlock it to flash the device or factory reset using recovery, then you'd have to make sure USB debugging is off then password lock her system settings so she couldn't re-enable it, this would prevent her from flashing stock firmware or factory resetting using system settings. Then you'd have to lock playstore so she can't install the apps that are causing problems, or you could install the problem apps and lock them to keep her from using them(although she might still be able to uninstall those apps and reinstall them from the web and they wouldn't be locked).
You can make it difficult for her but blocking her completely would require heavy specific modification to the device, if it's even possible.
