i guys, today i am using ICS 4.0.3(Claro BR) on my Note, the official firmware, rooted but never flashed any ROM(Don't wanna wipe) and this morning i was trying to install some modded SMS apps(I was really angry with automatic conversion to MMS on long texts). I used CWM and flashed an app without backing up the old one, the app doesn't work and i can't get the original back. Can someone please help me? (I am travelling and without acess to my computer at the moment)
I would be very grateful if someone with the stock ROM post their MMS.apk so i can try to i install it.

Unfortunately I don't have that saved...
You have a few options while on the road.
1. Download a third party MMS app from play store.
2. Reflash your ROM using mobile Odin
3. Download the 4.0.3 ROM. Extract the necessary file using root explorer. Place it in /system/app and set proper permissions.
Other things you can do too...but sounds like those would be easiest for you

Thanks bro, at the moment i am using an thirdy part app from PlayStore.
I will get home next week and try to download the 4.0.3 firmware and extract with ES File Explorer, i only need to download the .zip(?) to my External SD and search for the apk on my Note, right?
Sorry guys, brought my first Android one month ago, still a noob getting used to the SO.

Maybe you want to heed the following advice: Always make a Nand backup before you alter system apps/ files. If you have a Nand backup you can always restore your rom like it was before you did the modifications.

Yeah in es, you can locate the /system/app folder in the tar file.
Locate the appropriate file.
Copy it to your /system/app.
Next step is crucial- set proper permissions. Just do it the same as all other other files.
If you have problems you can always dirty flash the ROM
NOTE TO YOU AS A NEW USER. KNOW THAT STOCK ICS 4.0 KERNELS ARE UNSAFE AND IF YOU DO A FACTORY RESET YOU MAY KILL YOUR NEW PHONE. Please read the stickies on brick bug and you can install philz kernel to avoid issues.
And like other guy said...do nandroid backups...
Please hit thanks to me and other guy if we helped.

Hello,
first of all I used the search and read many different threads! Anyway I couldn't find the answer to my questions. I only got more confused as I already am
I want to use the Zeus rom v6.39! I don't have root or anything. Now my question: I have v20q and want to know if I can do it as described with v20o or v20n and also use the rom?
If possible you could post the links to detailed how tos because I'm new to all that root and rom stuff:angel:
Hy luke. I have the same question and intrests about roms and root for the lgob.
I think that we could make a downgrade with smartflash to the v10a version, root it with gingerbreak and than we can install every rom that we want.
One problem: i don't know if a downgrade works with the smartflash tool and v20q. I recently asked the dev and post a question in the right thread.
Hope that we success together

Hey guys,
follow this advice to install a rooted GB on the OB. This works 100%, I have done this quite a lot of times on different OB versions (also coming from a newer base, e.g. V20n).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23833005
After this, you are rooted V20o and have CWM. If you want to install a custom rom afterwards, think about putting the rom on your SD card before doing the procedure above. With this way you will save some time...
Thanks
Hi, thanks. I'll try your soultions.
Hope that erverything works fine.

Ok thx guys! If you tell me where I can hit the thx button I will do so...
Is there any method to save my data and apps effectively? And how exactly do I put on the rom after I gained root?
"3. Download Superuser.zip and copy it in root of your SD-cart!! DO NOT EXTRACT!!" does that mean I need to have root already when I copy it on my SD cart?
The app appadmin (don't know if it is still available in the store) help you to backup all your apps.
Your contacts and phonebook can be easily synct with your google account. (Phonebook_settings_export contacts)
You can backup your sms with 'backup&restore' from the market.
No, you don't need root to put the superuser apk to your sd card. That means maybe you can creat a folder called "root" with the superuser apk in there.
Can you please tell us if you managed it to get root?

First note that I am on official 4.0.4 USA rom (USA model) that is stock but rooted.
Downloads from any browser won't work (chrome/stock/firefox) but I can download off say Tapatalk or within apps. So long as the link isn't to a mirror (file sharing website) it seems that is has something to do with the "downloads" app. As if it won't accept downloading through that app. Anybody else have similar problema/found a solution.
Also if somebody doesn't mind posting the downloads app (for stock 4.0.4 p7310) and see if I can delete then install to see if that works.

Thank you both for replying. After flashing a rom and still not being able to download stuff I done some cleaning up I my sdcard partion. I Found a "file" called downloads.txt. After deleting the file downloads can now happen. I believe the problem is caused but how Android manages downloads. As the was no directory for downloads it was trying to download items into /sdcard/downloads. As that directory was a file (not even sure how that one happened) and not a folder it would attempt then fail.
You should change. txt to the original file extension e.g. zip

Hi there,
I want to ask you all how do I root my stock ICS without installing other custom roms. I just need the stock to be rooted for me to install titanium back up and unroot it after the Jellybean official arrived.
I am having a lot of problem with game save files import and export. Cause most of the game save saved locally on phone.
Any help would be grateful!

Go through Dr.Ketan's guide..you will get to know everything about rooting.
I did the same thing when I first rooted my phone. Just rooted the stock ICS & was using it. So, under development section, you will find the kernel thread in which you will see Philz kernel. Select the one which is for your ICS version & flash it via PC Odin
just install the philz kernel using recovery and you will get root.
If I want to restore back to stock kernel, what should I do? flash stock kernel again?

I just updated thru Kies in Hong Kong, to 4.04 JB. I tried to use the camera and I had an alert blocking the camera screen and a message bar as follows "Tap and hold shortcuts to edit them. Also combined with it where the OK button was was a text box with the words scanning media in it.
Now, its working after I played with it, first I reboot, that didn't help. Then I accidentally put it into third party mode but hit the up volume to get out of it before it went into download mode. It started to reboot but I held the up-vol, home and on button until it went to the rest screen. I tried to just wipe the cache, but it didn't do anything, moving the selector up and down worked, I tried wiping cache again, no luck, so I just reboot. After rebooting I laid the phone down and started to look for a solution in here. So I go to try the camera again to get the alert message it had, and
Wha La, the darn camera started working right, the alert blocking the screen was gone, it came up as usual for a new triggering, but it accepted my selection when I told it ok and then it went away as usual, computers, micro-processors, no matter what kind, if you have problems, some times just a long shut down to clear the electronic memory will also clear the problems.
Googled, searched, prayed, sacrificed a feature phone...no luck.
I have CWM4xxx on the Tab with RandomROM.
I want to install CM10 (p1c), but the install in CWM barfs basically saying it cant figure out that I have a SPH-P100 (error7)
I'm thinking the issue is that I need CWM5 to install CM10, but I can't find CWM5 anywhere for this tab.
yes? no? i'm an idiot?

Start from the beginning and delete the first line up until the first semi colon you see (delete the first semi colon too ) and save and close the the zip and flash

to return to CM9 from CM10 you need to restock to GB because of the incompatible MTD partitioning.

Buy titanium backup pro.
Or is it hard to get stock ROM for CDMA tab?
The process of Odin/Heimdall restock is less than 5 minutes.
I did it many times (uncountable by now) on my P1000.
The actual step is where the pit file is loaded, making the partition "stock" again.
i am having the same problem can someone show me exactly what to delete?

But this time, all the apps that need root access like the cwm, sd maid, etc., failed to open up & stuck on black screen with the app name label at the top. What could be the reason ?

Let's clear something up !
First of all, ALL ROMS can be rooted !
I have alot of experience in that, and after 3 years of testings first and only problem when u try to root a rom is SYSTEM free SPACE !
So, before complain that a rom cannot be rooted, just see how much free space u got (u can do that without root, using last 3.0 root explorer).
After u do that, make a flashable zip only with meta scripts that remove Maps.apk or something, than try again. It's 100000% workin !
Peace all !
