I have looked through the forum threads and all over the internet im sure I might have missed it but.. I have a Kobo Arc 7 (which I loooove!) I rooted it and got rid of the kobo apps to give me some room but... I did the bone head thing of deleting the tapestry file which I believe is what shows you the icons for the applications, all that I see when I restart my kobo is the time the drop down and the 3 icons at the bottom. I had the usb debug on but I think I turned it off. I have tried to use the adb function in the system (when you hold down lower volume and power on) and used other roms that errors during the adb slideload ?? cannt remember the name now. doing a factory reset doesn't do anything neither does clearing the cache.
any suggestions?? even if extreme lol if its dead its dead but would mind doing something with it.
Thanks for any suggestions in advance

Hi all first post here but got help many times from lurking on here.
a child of a family friend, quite a smart 10 year old was messing with my phone (i know bad mistake) he just usually takes photos plays games etc. Anyway i went to use my phone and all seemed fine until i tried to go in the settings and it askes for a password, no idea what this password is and he says he does not know as it was an accident.
The app is called "app lock" trying to uninstall it also askes for a password, its just my settings i cant access or that app. Now i would reset my phone by going in the bootloader as i cant get to settings but i cant access bootloader by holding volume down key because i have fastboot on and cant turn it off in settings now.
Now once i flashed my phone using the official ice cream sandwich release, but i cant do that now to get rid of it because my phone wont communicate with my pc, got 3 new usb cables, no connection, tried different comps etc etc, everything i could find, although i can charge through the connection and access my files, just nothing else like htc sync.
So phone is still useable but cant change any settings at all now, cant even access wigits
I love my desire s and don't want to change it, as i love it and got no money available! imo its the sexiest looking phone still
So what i am asking is is there another way to remove this app?
Hope this is in the correcnt section, feel free to flame me if not.
Thanks for the help guys.
Are u rooted r s-off? If so u could use some kind of root explorer app and mount system rw then delete the app and reboot, that should get rid of it. Or if ur willing to factory reset in bootloader, just pull battery out for 20 seconds n put back in then press n hold vol down + power, that should get u there even tho fastboot is enabled in settings.
hi thanks for the quick reply, im not rooted because of the usb problems with my phone, i wish i was, ive tried many times. Ill try the thing with the battery and get back to you, thanks for that buddy.

Dont seem to be having success with the battery thing, maybe its just me, im quite a noob with android, im an ios defector and im so glad i did.
Should get u to bootloader, just tried myself with fastboot enabled. Make sure when u put battery back in that u press and hold volume down then press and hold power button (both same time) bootloader should come up.
U know the app lock, is it an app u downloded from playstore? If it is u could open playstore app and uninstall it there.
jmcclue your a staar, got it sorted now. thanks you most kindly!
I wanted to solve this problem on my own but after almost 6 hours I just can't figure it out. Its either totally bricked or I'm just missing something simple. I've seen many people complain about this problem but none of them seem to have had the same problem I do. Thing is I was just really starting to love the way I had the phone set up. DAMN!
I used this thread to root: (CF)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/help/q-root-galaxy-s5-sport-sm-860p-t2859473
SPRINT GALAXY S5 SPORT SM-G860P
Android 4.4
I had CW recovery installed
(wish I had more info about the software)
Here's whats happening:
START
(vibrate)
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
(Also on Screen are the logos)
Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport
Powered by Android
This stays on for about 10 seconds.
Then blank screen (2 seconds)
(vibrate)
Screen still blank (2 seconds)
REPEAT (Auto reboot and goes back to start)
Other notes:
Trying to boot into recovery (home+vol up+power) Nothing Happens
Try to power off and nothing happens.
Pulled battery, did the 30 sec and restarted no change.
I have all updated usb drivers.
Odin will not see the device because its not on long enough. (Kies didn't see it either.)
Plug into PC via usb - Nothing Happens, device doesn't even show up because its not on long enough (win 8.1 and 7)
Pull battery to get it to stop, once battery goes back in, it auto starts again.
I TRIED AS MANY SD CARD / BATTERY/USB CABLE/POWER CABLE/BATTERY PULL/BUTTON COMBINATIONS AS I COULD FIND ONLINE AND THEN SOME. No Luck with anything.
I know this isn't a "help desk" I just wanted to give as much info as possible hoping to help you help me!
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Try to hard-reset your phone. There is a button combination for that., search it over the internet.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately the hard reset combo does nothing. I've tried every button combination that I have been able to find with no luck. Factory reset, hard reset, etc. etc. no luck. I've also searched for a possible "hidden" button underneath the back cover or something of the like...nothing.
hmmmm
At least, it is not hard-bricked. So there is hope.
Have you checked if it is entering the download mode? If not, then try it. You can use this mode to flash file via the PC.
Check this link
It worked! Obviously I didn't search or try as many things as I thought I did. : / I can't thank you enough! wow. Amazing!

Hey guys,
I spent about 2 days reading through every piece of guide I can find in here to resolve my issue and now, here I am. So the thing that started this whole pileup is that I did a cache and dalvik wipe. After which it booted to till the bootanimation and stayed there............Forever. I understand this is fixable, but here is the real problem. My volume button doesn't work. So I cannot go into recovery or download mode (download mode was accessible for a while until that button failed too). So then I tried rebooting with adb. But then it says that the device in unauthorized (I remember that the USB debugging option was set to ON a long time ago). In a desperate attempt to fix things, I opened the phone and checked out the volume buttons to see if anything can be done. The buttons are like fully damaged from the wear and tear over the years and I'm not just talking about the button but also the contacts. It still boots up to the bootscreen. At this point I'm only interested in getting my data back. My last backup was done a month ago.
Can someone please help me?
hello, i have an INCO aurora iis tablet, everything was fine, BUT, suddenly i changed the wallpaper and the next time i turn it on, my screen was black, but no other problems, this happened 3 times, and on third time, i got an error, it says: system.ui has stopped working, i can continue using my tablet, i uninstall a lot of things, cleaned cache, but it still pop up, i was able to play, but the shortcut touch buttons dissapear and appear, but i was using the tablet like that, then it got worse:
next i cant do anything, the error dont stop appearing, i can press quickly some buttons like menu or things and touch on clore the error, and when i tried to change the wallpaper, it said: (name of the animated theme) has stop working, if i dont put an animated background, the tablet reset, then of course, it got worse, i cant tap on anything, the error is so fast i cant press nothing, and if i managed to tap on config or something, tablet restarts, i installed some programs on my pc, and i was able to backupp my images and some other things, BUT
this is the main problem, it will be short:
my tablet isnt rooted, and there is a game called teaching feeling, that i couldnt find the game data, it is there, on my tablet, but i think i need to root my device to get them, but, i already read some info here and around the web, that i can backupp that stuff using adb, but my windows xp isnt the best for that, i use a windows 7 pc and cant do anything, when i run 'adb devices". it dont show nothing or it says it isnt a command or something like that
the question is: i will be able to backupp that game data?
2 what causes the error? i uninstalled all google updates and some of google software, but it didnt fix anything
actually the tablet dont go beyond the inco logo, it keeps restarting, hard reset will fix it?
but , i cant hard reset everything and lose my important game data sorry for my grammar and the long post, thank you for your help.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this in but I´ve been going nuts for hours and finding no solution to my problem.
I have a practically new Fusion5 108 tablet runing marshmallow. Today I was setting it up on first use and I hate that persistant google search bar. Didn´t find an easy way to remove via settings so I took to Google for answers (ironic I know). I found the same suggestion on several sites: going into apps and disable google app, and restart tablet. So I did that, but when I restarted it got stuck in an ¨optimizing apps¨ boot loop... it did 2 out of 2, then seemed it would start and then again back to optimizing. I was going to try just wiping and reseting from recovery mode, but I get a NO COMMAND when attempting recover. I tried EVERY possible combination with the only 3 buttons it has (power, volume +/-) and even tried a small reset button it has (which just resets the tablet) and still cannot go into recovery. I even opened it up and killed the battery connection and reconnected to see if that helped, the only difference it made was that after doing that it said ¨optimizing 2 our of 4 instead of 2 out of 2 like before. At this point I´m about to just throw it in the trash so any ideas would be useful. I never got to enabling debugging to try to connect it via PC either.
HELP?????

I would look up the Fusion5 website and send them an Email explaining the problem as they may be able to help. I had to contact them when I had wifi connection problem and they were very helpful.....it's worth a try before you throw it in the trash.
