Unrooted device when hosts file were corrupted. - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys! I really need some help.
I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab A and since 2 weeks i was rooted with kingroot.
After I wanted to unroot permanently but I forgot to delete the hosts file so the android will build a new one. And now i can't acces Google Play or any app that use G.P.Services,and also I cant root again because all the apps downlod their strategies from the cloud and ,apparentlly , I can't download them because of hosts file.
What can I do? I don't want to use adb.... It's there a way to delete hosts without root?or to root again?
And if I have to use adb pls give me noob instructions epbecause i never used adb.
Sorry for my bad English.

[Q] Very stupid question about superuser, oblige me please

Hi guys. Samsung Galaxy Ace, 2.3.6, rooted with the file upd_1.zip downloaded with this website.
1. It's an .apk file for rooting, correct? Are all such files (i.e. apk files for rooting) installed through the recovery mode?
2. How does it differ from
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ub3NodWZvdS5hbmRyb2lkLnN1Il0.
3. It's installed in system/app, correct? If it is a system app, why can't I uninstall it with Titanium backup like I do with Samsung Apps, Voice Search, FM Radio, and other system apps? (I use a file called unroot.zip to uninstall, downloaded from this website also)
Thanks guys!
1. .apk files are not installed through the recovery mode, every android app is an .apk file , so install it with the .apk installer
2. With "superuser" you can give apps rootaccess to your phone
3. No, root is deeper in the system, you can´t uninstall it with titanium backup because titanium needs root! Did you root per kernel or per App ( superoneclick )? If you rooted per kernel, install a stock kernel and you won´t have been rooted after. If you rooted per App, you normally can uninstall root with the app .
I hope I could help you.

[Q] Regarding apk files

Is an apk file able to install itself without a prompt? I clicked a link by accident that downloaded an apk of questionable content. Obviously I deleted it, but I'm wondering if it's possible something could have been installed without my knowledge.
Thanks guys

Nope not possible.
But on apps like blackmart, if you give it superuser rights, it can install apps right away!
And also TB can do this.! While restoring (pro version).
So basically, I think for it to happen superuser permission might be needed!
LIFE! Live it to the best!

Answers:-
1. Uninstalling of superuser with clean Unroot will Remove Root Binary from System and will effect Root, as without SU app you cant play with Root..
2. No, You Can't.
3. No they won't Function. You can uninstall Root apps if they are in System Folder other you will be able to uninstall.
Thankyou,

Thank You very much.. I am satisfied by your reply..
But tell me one more thing what superuser does.. i think superuser app only gives the permission to the root apps to install something in root area.. right? superuser app work is just to allow or deny the permission to the app right..?
So if i don't unroot my phone and if i just simply remove superuser app then i still should be able to install root apps in the root? because my phone is rooted.. and i have just removed superuser app which gives permission only.
I think superuser only gives the permission to the app SO apps will be intall in the root just without any permission of superuser?? this is what superuser does ONLY?
I think i am misunderstanding something about superuser.. Correct me please if i am wrong.. :good:

Yes,
It gives permissions to access, modify your Root area[Restricted when you are Non-Rooted].
No,
Removing SU app will remove permissions with It. So after that you cant use those Rooted app which you gave Permissions when u had SU App.
Note:- Without any SU app you can't Play your System Files..
nor your rooted apps will work..

S4 mk2 i337 soft bricked...
This is the link I started dealing with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
Problem is, I uninstalled a system file or two...or 15...and now the phone will start up, but no apps show up, just black screen. I can navigate still and work around it, but what i CAN'T do is give permission to that batch file once it recognizes the phone.
Obviously, I didn't know what I was doing, so I didn't realize that unrooting it wouldn't solve the problem, so I need to root, and then somehow get my system files back in place. Titanium Backup says my back up doesn't exist...pretty frustrated, I've spent 10+ hours on this site and some others trying to get back in, so I apologize upfront for possibly missing a post elsewhere

And then something long and complicated although the explanation may seem simple.
You have to unlock the bootloader. (if you do not know what it is, look on google)
You must obtain permissions Root (if not even know this always tries)
After installing the play archives Store manager who is able to get into the system folder of your smartphone (with root permission of course)
and so you can start to clean up everything.
NB: if you look carefully you will find here on XDA some guide that will explain what you need to do well. you just try
Thank you
Sorry.. i am just a beginner and trying to learn more.. and likewise i just want to make clear on how to do it.. i guess asking a query is not bad..
At first root your device if already done skip it download titanium backup app from Google play store after installation open it and del. The apps what ever you want .don't remove important system app other wise your system may brick.
For safety you can use clean master app. This app automatically give you details that which app you can remove withot risk and what happened if you remove that app.
you need root access and system app uninstaller if you don't have of them then you can try to disable pre-installed app from setting
i have same problem can't uninstall pre installed apps

Is there any way to replace the chinese apps with other apps as I dont know chinese
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, download SuperSU, and copy it to /system/apps with a root browser, fix permission, remove chinese app, reboot
if you install SuperSu from play store it will be something like /data/apps/eu.chainfire.supersu.apk
you can try using it there, but you need to move it to /system before you remove chinese app
there are several root browser/explorer/file manager that will work but it needs to be one with root access options
the chinese app should be in /system/apps not sure of name.
Fixing permissions: Looks like
Read Write Execute
Owner:................X .......... X............ _
Group:.................X .......... _ ......... _
Others:................X .......... _ ......... _
RW-R--R-- 0644
This should correct setting, but compare to other system apks.

You have to reroot.
Try one of these
RootMaster Links
Rootmaster apk or Here
and
Rootmaster.exe run from PC
Most android devices are rootable by one or both these options.
