[Q] help me fix this please :(

so.. i was trying to employ the gps fix on my overcome GB 2.0 beta 2, and i changed some of the system files.. i made a back of it in the same system file folder (created a folder putting everything that i changed inside) but now my galaxy tab wont start! it just keeps looping in the samsung galaxy tab screen, i can still go into recovery mode, but now im looking for ways so that i could access the folders to just revert the changes i made... any suggestions? i would really appreciate it.. thank you!

Its probably best to just reflash the rom? Hoping you have a backup nandroid so you can advance restore the data/apps

that's my last resort, because i dont have any back up thanks for the suggestion though..
im trying to use adb, but i cant seem to get the hang of how to use it

Why not make a backup, (wait, hear me out) then only reatore the data/apps part. Be interesting to see if your phone will let you backup. If it does, then you should have access to restoring your apps/setup. Whilst still reflashing the rom to renew the system files.
Worth a try?

Question about flashing firmware to fix twlauncher

So, I was a little too aggressive with trying to remove Samsung bloatware from my rooted stock N7000 running 4.0.3 baseband LP4, build LPA. I deleted Social Hub, which turns out to be a crucial component for twlauncher, and basically the launcher kept FCing. Reinstalling Social Hub kept failing, so I had to install Go Launcher just so I could use the device, but I think I would like to go back to TouchWiz. Based on my research, the only way to fix this broken twlauncher issue is to reflash the firmware. So, my questions are:
1) If I reflash stock 4.0.3 using Odin, will I still retain all of my user data, app settings, SMS messages, photos, etc.?
The next two questions are somewhat related.
2) Is it worth reflashing to 4.0.3, or should I wait for the 4.0.4 OTA update to hit my device (I have the Indian version of the Note)? Will installing the OTA 4.0.4 update put back the missing components for twlauncher (e.g., Social Hub)?
3) I have disabled a lot of bloatware and processes under Settings/Applications/All. Regardless of whether I use 4.0.3 or 4.0.4, will updating the firmware still keep those processes that I marked as disabled as disabled, or will the update re-enable them? Also, will the update still automatically update those processes that I marked as disabled, or skip over them?
Thanks!

Flash a custom rom bloat free with a safe kernel.
There's a lot in development section

Touchwiz depends on social hub widget. Keep it and delete all other crapware.

if possible make a backup first. yes it will restore back social hub when reflash of stock rom n the other apps. juz disable them back (of the bloatware or apps) that you dont want.

Sorry, I forgot to update this thread. I was able to resolve the problem without having to reflash. It was very simple, and I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.
My problem is that I was trying to *reinstall* the SocialHub.apk file. Instead, I simply copied the file to /system/app, changed its permission to 644, rebooted, and twlauncher worked again!
Lesson of the day: do not delete SocialHub.apk from Samsung Galaxy Note -- otherwise, Touchwiz launcher will break!.
Hopefully, someone else will find this information to be useful...

Thank you so much for posting!!! I've been searching for this for weeks! My trouble is somewhat related. Every single morning I wake up, unlock my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, gingerbread 2.3.6 and press twlauncher force close button. It does not happen during the day time though. This problem kicks in only during the night when the phone is deep asleep. I was literally going through every single application trying to find which process or service was incompatible with the stock twlauncher. However, I was smart enough to freeze social hub with my titanium back up so will have to defost it now for testing. Are you 100% sure the stock twlauncher depends on social hub? The only trouble I have is one single fc in the morning with the social hub being frozen... That's one single fc per day but every morning.. other than that there are no more poblems and the device runs just as perfect till it "goes to bed" Would highly appreciate any comments / suggestions / advices at all.

You have to delete also odexed files.

Thank you for your comment. Do you mean delete the odexed files when I defrost the social hub back or delete the files while the social hub is still frozen? Where are these files usually located? Appreciate your time
Found the odex files.. edited the post.. I guess odex files are used to speed up the. apk ones. Is deleting them really going to help much? Aren't they just useless without original. apk files? Thankies

...I just thought what if I "inject" a "healthy" twlauncher extracted from the stock rom into my device? Will that help cure my corrupt twlauncher? I would need to remove / delete my present launcher or is it going to be OK to simply place it over the old one wouldn' it? Would appreciate any help / comments at all! Many thanks!

Hi,
I have not tried it on ICS, but back when I was on Gingerbread stock, I froze the social hub using TB without issue. It is quite interesting to note that deleting the app causes the launcher to spaz out.
Of course, there might be differences in the apps between GB and ICS, but thank goodness I froze the last time instead of deleting!

Hi there,
That is exactly what I suspect is happening. TwLauncher most probably has nothing to do with the social hub and thefe are no direct dependencies. I am not really sure though, I'm still testing it all around before reflashing. I also heard that the social hub had been uninstalled (not just frozen by TB) on both GB and ICS and it had no issues at all..

I agree. I always uninstall social hub along with all the related applications through titanium backup on every stock rom I try. I have never had a single occasion of TW force closing for any reason.

Yeah. However, I have tw force closing on me every morning... Do you happen to know if I extract a "healthy" tw from a rom and "inject" it over my corrupt tw right on top.. will it help? I thought it would save me the hussle of reflashing and all.. replacing just one file looks easier.. I am not an expert though so would appreciate any suggestions at all.

[Q] baseband version unknown + no network

hello,
i know creating a new thread isnt the nicest thing but my note isnt responding and im sweating badly
i have also posted this under the thread with the call recording mod but doing this here for faster response
i was running speedmod kernel k3-13 with stock 4.0.4
in the day to update by phone via ota reverted to stock kernel, still the update failed so reverted back to speedmod.
everything was working fine till then
sometime back thought of trying the call recording mod...
deleted the 2 files mentioned and then flashed the zip via recovery
after the reboot network gone, touch screen working intermittently and baseband version to unknown.
will flashing this rom via pc odin help? i dont have mobile odin
N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5---Download--- India
i might have also done some stupid thing that i dont remember but i guess above mentioned is all what i did.
please help
thanks and regards
sujai

Just replied to call recording thread
Again writing steps here wait
Get root explorer
Put device in flight mode
Extract recording zip file
You will find two folder appl and lib in system folder
Now copy files in lib folder to system/lib
And appl files to system/app
Change permission. To rw-r-r
Delete phone. Odex and phone utility. Odex. From system/app folder

thanks doc for the blazing fast reply but had taken out the battery and was waiting for reply
now the touch screen wont work, it just stays on the home screen...thats it
i cannot go any further, no option works
please note that the phone is showing baseband version as unknown (saw it when the screen was working earlier)
and
there is no network aswell.
thanks doc, hoping for a solution.
even if i have to loose all my data to restore phone to factory rom and kernel, im okay with it. but just want my note to come to life.

Restart device and just try pressing power button and if you get option to flight mode, it should work for further procedure as I have mentioned.
If you finish as I suggest then you will get everything working with record mod too.
If you are unable to handle then just put device in Download mode and reflash modem with pc Odin it should work, in last resort just reflashed rom otherwise, neither method will wipe your data.
Just need patience, don't be panic this is little issue.

just flash the stock rom again using pc Odin to get back to original state
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

dear doc and nokiamodeln91,
pressing the power button does take it to airplane mode but then the phone does not get recognized by computer when i connect it.
so i would want to flash stock ROM straight away and just need a clarification. Ill put the phone in download mode, connect it to pc odin.
and then click the phone tab or the PDA tab?
will flashing this ROM - (N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5) get me back to stock ROM and kernel?
afterwards i can always update it via OTA to the latest ROM and then put speedmod k3-13 kernel back, right?
will do as you say and report back. any other thing i should keep in mind while doing this?
thanks a ton for the help
regards
sujai

If you put ROM file for Phone, then it should work too. It will just replace your Modem, which is corrupted right now.
If it doesn't work then use it for PDA, it will replace full ROM and that will work sure.

a billion thanks doc for helping out!! though it failed in phone mode...worked in PDA mode and best thing is that i have all my data aswell.
thanks a ton and respect to you!!

glad to know you recovered it, basically it was not a big issue, just bad flashing
Now if you want to recording MOD, don't flash zip but just copy files manually in flight mode.

thanks nokiamodeln91
and doc, right now i just flashed to LR9 by your method...rooted it and now installing mods...
your help has given me so much of confidence that everything seems so cool to do.
thanks a tons once again!!
(will trouble again if i mess up)
ewwww all my user installed apps have now gone grey!! followed everything to the T. did not do a clean install though
and though the phone has rooted i still dont hv supersu in appl drawer even after flashing the second way you mentioned...just letting you know so that you can check it out

yes that happens to the apps moved to SD card.. restore them using TB or reinstall them
and as dr ketan mentioned.. on the new twhome launcher... the apps moved to SD card will not stay where to fixed in (folders etc)..

No need to restore with TB/Reinstall
Just go to setting - Application - Apl on SD
And appl which are on SD card will have option to move to phone, move from there and that will be sufficient.

yes doc did that yesterday and its all cool!! call recording and transparent weather widget also working great!! all thanks to you!!
are you trying to find out a way for apps to display icons even when they are moved to card?

No, I think it can be solved by new launcher only, hope next update we shall get it fixed

S Memo restore help

Hi there. Recently flashed allianceRom jellybean xxlsc beta1.1.
When i first tried to start S Memo, the app said it'a retiring to make way for S Note. I pressed start now and the app is just uninstalled. I go to S Note and nothing migrated.
Is there any way to restore my s memo stuff from my backup in pc. it was done via kies so i doubt it detects custom rom. Any ideas? From what i know and/or rmb, my files in pc seem to be jpeg. May not be able to edit via and spen apps, right?
But the more impt thing to me is still restoring. Need help with that first.
Thanks in advance to helpful replies. Will press the button when they start coming in xD

EDIT: ****. Didnt backup with Kies; meant i had no backup..time to check my CWM Backup..
EDIT: SOLVED. Had older backup in Kies. PHEW.

Titanium Backup can unpack nand backups, maybe that's how get your S-Memo back. And then pay attention to what you select, S-Memo asks you whether you want to migrate your data to S-Note or not.

Accidentally changed system apps to normal apps

Hello, I really need help, I was using system/app mover to move apps from normal to system apps so that they are considered as system , and would be there when I factory reset. This app works in both ways, it changes apps to system apps and vice versa, now I was clicking on the app to change to system , then they ask do you want to reboot , if you press no, the order of the list will change. If you press on the call app foe example, the one bellow it is selected , and doing it fast I didnt recognize that , only before I changed the messaging app, nfc service, something related to camera, notification bar , and maybe more that I didnt see yet. The problem is that these apps are removed from the phone permanently, they are no longer on the list, installed as normal apps, or even in the system folder, or apps folder. I need someone to attach all the apps in his phone under system/apps , so I can paste them there, please help. For faster ask&answer consider contacting me on my email : [email protected]
Thanks alot

Just reflash the ROM, or use your nandroid backup, and don't make the same mistake next time.
Much quicker than waiting for someone to upload all their apps for you.

You should advise daily/regular backups, and before messing about with anything that requires root and modifies your phone take a backup, backups are your best friend in the android world, however if your boot loader is still locked and you can't reflash a ROM or even have recovery flashed, head down to the Themes and Apps and I remember (I think) seeing a system dump for stock 4.1.2, go there and you should find everything you need

How can I make a backup before installing CWM ? My bootloader is still locked, and I tried to unlock it using the toolkit developed by OS_hacking , but when I hit unlock bootloader the phone shows me a warning that the warranty will be lost , I press agree, it opens the download mode , and then I try to flash the CMW but it does nothing. Now I cant access the recovery mode.

You could utilize "adb backup", or use Titanium Backup. If installing CWM worked fine, first thing to do of course is a Nandroid backup
