LS996-ZV9 Sprint
I did something stupid. After I rooted my phone I did a little clean up of apps I don't use. Well the LG setup was one of them, I uninstalled it. Well I did a factory reset. I forget that doesn't restore uninstalled apps. So as soon as I rebooted my phone I could only get through the first part of the setup. My phone boots and go through the setup. But when its done it goes right back through the setup.
My option are to do an unroot and install a stock system.
Install a stock rooted system.
or adb the apk to the phone, do a reset and hope that it was just the LG setup app.
TIA

i have a 955 with 15c, so maybe it cant work there but if you can point me to the path of the apk i can send it to you.
I think easiest way would be to use lg flash tool and just start from beginning, works for h955
Here was my solution; so far.
I bluetoothed titanium backup from my tablet to my phone. Once i had the download notification i installed the app. After the install i open the app and froze the LGSetup app. Now the only problem i have is some of my stettings cause the settings app to stop and close.
Im going to try and run the rootsystem.img again.
WHAT I DID FIND; After the factory reset my internal storage had been wipped. But my rootsystem.img file was still there and untouched.

I rooted and then began backup with Titanium BU. I was uninstalling all the bloatware BS when I accidentally uninstalled the google application that allows my market to function. Is there a way to simply reinstall it without having to mess around with too much stuff? I'm an amateur at this sorta stuff, hence the mistake. Thanks.
If you backed up with TB, then just restore it.
Have you enabled side loading
I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I'm a newbie.
I uninstalled with Ti BU while I was backing up everything else. I thought the google app package was bloatware from AT&T. If there isn't an easy way, I'm just going to teach myself to use Odin and flash stock ROM, but I'd rather not do that.
If you backed everything up, go into titanium, backup and restore, click filers, backed up, look for talk, or gtalk. Restore

You either have to enable side loading, then find the app
Or use odin
How do I enable side loading, and then how do I load it?

Download gtalk apks. Can not install then with out side load capability since their source is not the market
Wouldn't a reset just put him back to stock so he can start over?

Odin yes. I did the same thing when I first rooted my phone. Either odin, or install gtalk will fix. Factory reset from inside phone will not bring app back

Good to know. It always did with WinMo.
So, I purchased my Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) last weekend. I had it rooted and everything was fine. Then I got rid of some of the bloatware. I wrote a couple of programs for myself to use, so I needed to enable side-loading. I did that-successfully.
First sign of a problem was when I went to the marketplace and it would not download any single app that I tried. So, I went to restore the phone using the backup I made, but some reason it wasn't there.
Then I decided to revert to factory settings. I did a hard reset, but the problem was still not resolved. Then I found a thread on here about Odin 3. I've been trying to use that all night but the best I've gotten is to the File Analysis step. I've tried at least 10 different times.
I'm trying to get everything back up and running and preferably rooted again so that I can use my Titanium backup to restore all my apps and settings.
I'm at my wits end, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Factory reset would not solve any problems that may have been caused by deleting core apps. Is your phone rooted and nand unlocked (baseband) or just rooted? Are you running a custom rom? If so you need to reflash the rom after clearing cache and dalvik cache. If you still have the original rom then you can reflash an official samsung firmware using odin, look for your handsets firmware on www.samfirmwares.com
Other than that you could try finding out which apps are needed and using root explorer you may be able to fix the version you have. If the market is your only issue then try clearing data and cache settings/manage apps/market and download manager (two different apps)
How did you root your phone? Did you install a custom ROM yet? What bloatware did you remove, and how did you go about it?
Ok. In the wee hours this morning I finally got Odin to work and now everything works as it should. I switched computers and the program worked right away. Intersting tidbit though, I accidentally left the sim card in during the reflash and I had no ill effects. I'm actually wondering if that helped me.
Thanks tina333.
nenol, I used the one touch root. I have not installed a custom rom and I don't remember exactly which of the programs I uninstalled. I used Titanium backup to both backup my apps and to delete the bloatware.
There are very few system apps that are not needed by the system, titanium only backs up data by default. Be careful what you delete and always research first
I recently was playing with one of those bloatware freezing apps. I froze only the obvious ones like buddies now etc. Something happened though. After I was done the icon tray was gone, and the home buton did'nt work at all. The phone was basically a brick because I couldn't get to any apps. So I did a factory restore. It did it and some of the apps were still there but crashed. So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it back through market.
Now things kind of work but everytime I load some apps I get messages like it was installed for the first time even if I ran them before. None of the preferences are saved. If I leave them in RAM they remember but if I go to the task manager and flush RAM when I restart all preferences are gone again. Nothing is being written or saved to the system like it should be. The theme chooser in Astro file manager doesn't work at all.
What the hell is going on and how can I fix it? I am using the stock ROM and rooted.

dave,
if a factory reset didn't fix your problem,
you will have to flash your phone back to stock.
you can use gtg's ultimate unbrick - stock froyo
h8rift root and 3e recovery - stock froyo, rooted with 3e recovery or
adam outler's heimdall one click to gb leak, uckj4 stock.
you can find these in the dev superthread or some of my quick links

Hi,
Sorry I screwed that up. I couldn't get into the interface to do a factory reset. So what i did was flash back to stock with odin. After I did that the apps were still there but many didn't work. I uninstalled them and re-installed and they worked as stated with glitches.
Maybe I needed to flash to stock then do a factory reset to clean things up?

yeah, if you wanted to clean up everything, do a factory reset. Take off all the files and pictures you want from the phone including your micro sd card if you gave one.
Go to settings. Privacy. Factory reset.
Put phone into download mode.
Use gtg's ultimate unbrick if you want to go back to stock froyo. Then do the ota update.
I was planning on backing up my phone before a mod.
I downloaded and installed ROM Manager, then the Clockwork mod.
Installing the Clockword mod, the program asked to reboot to complete the installation. I rebooted.
upon reboot it wiped my phone back to original including the sd card WTF!!!!!!!
is going on!
How do I get back my configuration?

I am afraid that you actually install a Rom. When you flash the CWM Recovery the phone does not reboot. It just flashes on running the app. If your configuration and SDcard were erased then there is no much you can do about it. Is really strange, never happened to me when copying the current rom.
so what you're telling me is I'm screwed.

how do i reinstall all my apps.
the market tells me the apps are already installed, and won't allow me to redownload them.
at this point i'm pulling my hair out!!!!!!!!!!

That's kinda weird. The apps must be in your phone....so actually didn´t erase them....That means that you haven't gone to a full wipe. Have you tried opening them from the market??
I hadn't setup the market acct. on the phone.
once that was done, i was able to reinstall.
now back to the beginning

Yeah I am afraid that you will have to set everything up again. Anyway, Before doing it again, try to make a nandroid backup first and see what happens. If that goes ok, the start from scratch...

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 tablet with the tutorial from this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24736900
It worked just fine for a couple days, then today I powered up the tablet and when I unlock it, it shows a problem loading all widgets, and within a few seconds the screen goes black, then proceeds back to the unlock screen. I unlock it again and this keeps repeating.
I didn't hack anything else, just installed superuser and a couple of other root apps. Really I haven't done anything else to cause this.
I don't even have enough time to go into settings and do a factory reset.
Any ideas? Perhaps in recovery?
EDIT - I did a factory reset in recovery. Is this going to fix it back to normal? I probably won't root ever again.
It probably has no affect, but what root apps did you install?
superuser, busybox, adfree, rom toolbox (which couldnt even detect my root but I never tried anything else)... those I can remember...
Did you install CWM and do a backup?
Im not sure what that acronym is for. I am new to all this. I followed the simple instructions in that tutorial and that was it.
It seems the issue is gone since my factory reset.
I am not sure if the root is still there however.
If there are extra steps to be done after a root it would help to have them with the tutorial....
A factory reset will remove root from your phone. Rooting it in and of itself should cause no issues like you are having it has to be something you installed and I would suspect ROM Toolbox. I'm not sure this app supports teh GTab+ or even has any useful purpose for us as we have no real ROMs to flash. It also contains a ROM Manager and if its the same one by Koush then it will defintely screw up our tablets.

I have done this ROOT like a million times (i'm a flash junkie)... testing the CM9 roms and back to stock again.. never had an issue with ROOTing the stock ROMs..
Suggest you download the latest firmware for your device and flash using ODIN and factory reset. Repeat the flash & factory reset a few times
Maybe you have the wrong clue of what your problem is. To root your tab is just a matter of put a binary called "su" on a directory on your PATH, usually /usr/bin and set it with proper permissions. This binary gives you superuser powers, but there's nothing on it or at least in the process that installs it that makes it interfere in anything without being called.
So accidentally you did anything that went wrong or any of programs that requires root did.

Sorry for taking a bit to reply, havent had the chance to get much PC stuff done lately.
Aaah so you think it was the culprit.... its wierd because when I tried to run the rom toolbox it shown that my tab was not rooted.
Then the problems started... as in my tab was rebooting itself and was stuck in a loop.
I did do the factory reset and then used a root checker and noticed it shown as no root access.
I have read that a factory reset does not remove root... are you sure it does completely?
I'd hate to go through another reset as I have set everything up again.
The only bug I have noticed so far with my tab is that the odd app (so far market and dolphin browser) at times I am unable to go back a page... the page just kind of flashes and stays on that page but does not go back. I end up having to restart the app.
Should I reflash with latest firmware and do a factory reset?
If so... I found this site, shall I use these instructions and firmware?
