[Q] accidentally deleted files

sorry for my question but wanted to know if anyone can help, 7 days ago bought a acer stream, I made the root and then exploring delete files by mistake apk system, of course, many things do not work now. If anyone can help they would appreciate a lot. Thanks.

You're pretty much out of luck. If you deleted the files 7 days ago, they are likely un-recoverable. If they are on the sd card, and less than a day or so, you have a chance to recover them using GetDataBack.
Your best bet is to do a factory reset to get all the files back.

remove them from the system and are apk files, there is no method to revive my acer?, it means that I throw it, only serves, I can not load a new rom?

thanks
these are the files I needed but when I try to run with the browser gets me close to applied force and will not let me run it. There is some solution to this?

Factory reset the phone. If you cant do it via settings, try recovery menu.

I tried to start from the menu, I did restart buttons and no screen goes black and does not reset to factory settings with some other idea?

[Completed] [Q] Stucked at Boot Loop after changing Boot animation

Hello,
I'm Using a Rooted Starmobile Up has an MediaTek MT6582M
well, it started when i was changing the bootanimation of my phone with an marvelboot.zip using ES File Explorer, i forgot to set the permissions so after i restart it, my phone stucked at boot animation.
i copied the marvelboot.zip at the /Device > system > media folder as far as i can remember.
i think it will be solved if i am able to delete the bootanimation.zip from that media folder using computer or something else.
i am wondering how can i delete that file from the system folder, or perhaps change permission? and is there a way to browse the system folder from android to computer?? i just wonder if theres such, but i will go with your answers.
i have no CWM installed and i dont know how, i dont know ADB, or SDK and all
when i tried installing CWM from recovery menu, it says installation aborted and thats my only way.
can someone help me?
another thing is i forgot to backup the firmware, and ofcourse warranty is voided as it is rooted, i cannot get it's firmware anywhere.
thanks again
I need your help, thank you.

OK so you can post your question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421&page=1
However, I urge you to keep searching for the stock firmware. This is a rare device that has practically no support.
If you had adb support which is highly unlikely you could use the command "adb push bootanimation.zip/system/media"
But I very much doubt you will be able to get adb to communicate.
I wish you all the best in searching, but I think you may have just learned a very costly lesson on always having a backup before tinkering.
Good luck

hello, hmm what if i buy a new unit of this model? lets say another starmobile up, and i backup its firmware, is it possible to do that?
and is it possible to copy the back up on this device?

I honestly don't think it would work. You really need a custom recovery or a way to access your bootlooping phone's system.
You can check this thread out on adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
If you're successful in getting adb to work you may have a shot at fixing it. But the odds are against you.
This is why we are all encouraged to read and be careful.

[Completed] Unable to transfer large backup from computer to phone

Hello All,
Noob here, I have searched and searched for an answer to my problem to no avail. I recently rooted my Sprint (ls990) LG G3 phone and had TWRP make a recovery for me which I placed on my computer for safe keeping and also because the file is a little over 5gb. I, being the Noob that I am went poking around the advance features on TWRP and hit fix permissions Now my phone wont boot up and gets stuck at the LG startup screen. I am still able to get into TWRP use those features so i decided why not just move my backup from my computer to my phone and perform a recovery and hope all is fixed. This is where i ran into a problem, This backup is too big for my phone and wont let me copy it back, i have tried hjsplit to split it up and move the splits parts to my phone only to discover that i cant re-combine them from my computer on my phone i have used 7-zip to compress the backup but still too big. i compressed and then split them but still unable to rejoin the files once on my phone. I'm turning to you guys to help me get over this hurled. Please help.

Hi, thanks for using XDA assist!
First, please create an account so you can post in other forums.
Do you have a removable SD card for your device? If so, be sure you are moving the TWRP backup to the TWRP backup folder on your SD card, not internal storage.
After creating your account, you can ask for more help here:

Bought on Craigslist, Factory reset it, Many default apps are gone, Lots of issues?

Hey Guys,
Brand new to XDA and new to messing with my phone in anyway, I looked through some threads, but am not sure if I can mess something up worse by not following the right steps,
I basically bought a used phone on craigslist, AT&T LG G FLEX 2 - LG-H950 and when I factory reset it, many of the default apps are not installed, cannot use my calendar and the phone is just a little off all together.
Not sure if the phone is still rooted or if the factory reset cleared it, and I am all together worried that the only reason the kid sold it to me was because he messed it up and couldn't fix it and just pawned it off to my dumas
I know its frowned upon to start new threads when the answers are out there, but i need this for work ASAP and if I screw it up and cant use it all Ill have to go back to my work iPhone (last resort, i hate it)
I started to follow hyelton's video http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
but got cold feet when i couldnt find my exact model the h950
It is currently on the android 5.0.1 and when i tried the update before i reset it, it said i couldn't update it something about the root. So i reset it and everything is the same as when I bought it on CraigList.
How do I get it back to square one, like it came in the box. I am interested in learning how to root and be in control of my own property, but I just want to get back to the start safely without bricking it so I can follow the forums and not feel so helpless.
im sorry if the first response to this just point me to another thread, but I will appreciate even that much guidance so at least i know i am headed in the right direction
Thanks a lot xda community

Factory reset won't remove root BTW. Recent Android phones seem to perform an integrity check prior to updating that fails when root is present.

Just read that to get the phone back to stock, then you'll be able to upgrade to 11x (5.1.1) and eventually 11z.

cool, thanks, one more question
I made an account with MEGA
downloaded the Flex2Tool 1.4.1 and unzipped
downloaded the system.img.gz
Started watching your video. however i am not bricked.
it has missing default apps and it says this device is suspected in rooting, software update is not available for rooted device.
so what is my first step after downloading these files. do i connect phone to my computer and open up the flex2tool and
select variant 1 which is H950 v10d etc
then do I select 1 , ( i do not need anything on the phone.)
or move straight to variant 2. restore unroot stock system.
if i do that next where do I put the system.img.gz file on my phone. anywhere in the internal memory and before or after I reset it?
sorry for all the questions and thanks for all the help. i am very new to doing anything besides calling or texting on my phone

1. You first need the LG USB drivers for the Flex to be installed
2. The system image file (gz) will have a .img file inside that's about 4GB, so unzip the one you downloaded with 7zip, preferably from a PC. Put the .img file on the root of the phone's internal memory before proceeding. You'll also want USB debugging enable and disable the verify over USB option
3. Once file is on phone you can continue with the tool, it will eventually go into download mode & show ## when finished

okay i did that but
I dont understand your last thing >>>>"You'll also want USB debugging enable and disable the verify over USB option"
when i have my usb connected the phone gives three options
1.Charge Phone
via usb
2.Media Sync (MTP)
3.Send images (PTP)
When restarting the recovery tool after img. has been installed to root of internal storage. do i just start program or do i need to turn off phone or reset it or just run it with the MTP

Like that. Check that the USB debugging icon shows in the notification area while USB is connected as MTP. Then you can start the tool. Be sure that the .img is present on the root(sdcard0) prior to letting the tool reboot the phone.

Did you remove the USB cord, then re insert after ##? The tool will reboot for you, and are you back into the OS now?

Probably a good idea. I think the previous owner was trying to delete some of the bloatware and didn't properly restore the phone before selling it, not sure if that was done purposely or not.

okay, i reset it but still dont have default apps
the default apps for the calendar which was my original issue still is not there, just a generic Android icon. because there is no default it will not allow me to sync calendars, also no default messaging app.
not sure if this just put me back to 5.0.1 which is where already was but i am still missing default apps to make the phone run smoothly,
any ideas on what i may have done wrong

You need to unzip that file
.gz like .rar or .zip are different types of compression, so download the latest version of winrar or use 7zip, you need the system.img file (4gb)

I later found out that there was this new files in my phone system storage, that wont allow me to delete it even if am root. i tried to change the permission and still cant . I tried to move all the files in that folder to a different folder leaving the suspicious ones. after moving the ones i know was not a malware to a different folder. my device froze and i couldn't do anything but to restart the device. i did so and that was it. My device always get stuck on the htc logo anytime that i turn it on. Please i really need help on how i can fix this issue and get my phone back to its normal state. I think is not booting because i move all files including the systemUi to a different folder.. the folder was located at (system/app) I created a new folder called appa in the same directory. thinking if i move all the legimate apps to the new folder. i will be able to delete the whole app folder which i left the malwares in. so i can rename the folder i created back to app. But after the moving was successful. my phone froze and thats it..

unless you have some sort of backup, or can find the stock software to put back on, you will not be able to fix it.

next time before doing such a activity like this you should make a nandroid backup and store it to a safe storage that you can restore.....

I have no experience flashing HTC devices, but the process is usually the same, just the files used change.
There should be some program common for HTC devices to flash.
I would look on some more popular HTC device and see if you can find a guide, and just substitute your firmware instead of theirs.

Thanks

There is but I don't know the proper commands. I think it's something like adb push (push location) (file name)
You may be able to move the file with pc while in twrp by Normal means. I can do it on my phone like that. Internal shows up on pc just like it does when it's booted.

USB debug is not needed for flashing. If your pic don't see the device in download mode, you will have to look around for some proper drivers. I don't know if adb works in download mode, so there may not be an issue. You need to get the proper flash tool and see if that can connect to your device. Trying to connect with anything else is a waste of time.

follow the advice that i gave before ^^^
there is no "best flashing tool" for these situations. there is usually 1 or 2 options of software provided by the manufacturer. one of these you must use, because there is no options, such as tools made by the community.
i have never owned a htc device, so you are going to have to do some searching and reading to help yourself out, unless someone else comes along who can provide specific help.
