[Q] Installation of Youtube unsuccessful

Hello All,
I used to be on RoDrIgUeZsTyLe MUIU rom and bunch of other custom roms. Every rom has its ones pros and cons but were not very stable. So, I thought I will go back to stock. So, I flash stock rom and stock recovery and received OTA update and installed the updates. Now my phone is on the below version.
Android Version 2.2.1
Build Number - FRG83D
Market Version - 2.12
Baseband Version - 32.26.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
I was able to successfully download and install many apps but whenever I try to download YouTube I always get "Installation of Youtube unsuccessfull" message. Also, I researched and saw that some people in Europe on Vodafone rom are having this issue. How do I know if my android version is totally stock?
Do you guys have any ideas on how I can successfully install this app without having to root my phone again? I would like to stay stock and unrooted if possible.
Thanks.

use titanium or manually uninstall the current youtube app, reboot then try to install again. Its because its a system app currently. youll probably have to do the same for car home, street view and a few others

I am un rooted, so I won't be able to use titanium. how do I uninstall manually though? I didn't have any issues installing other apps like street view etc.

Make sure the app is installed on your phone, and unmount the SD before updating...

I tried un mounting SD card and installing and still that didn't work. Thanks for trying to help though.

Try uninstalling the old version of YouTube first.

....if you do not have root access how were you flashing an miui rom?
I was getting the exact same thing as you were, all you need to do is remove the old youtube app
good luck

Thanks for the responses. Like I said in my post I was rooted before but un rooted and went to complete stock 2.2.1. I know uninstalling youtube would resolve this issue but I am trying to find a way to uninstall the app without being rooted.

(ROOT) Any version of android (kernel exploit)

In order to root your Nexus S (from Gingerbread to ICS!) I have made a script that all you need to do is launch with your PC! (credits to saurik for the exploit)
Hope this will help you
All you need to do, is run the script! Then, plug-in your phone (needs to be on with USD ADB DEBUG ON) and done!
You can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?qhefhtgs20fdtsd
This will root your phone, and then you can afterwards flash ClockworkMod from the market and then reboot into recovery =)
Peace be with you.

I'll test it later. Does this use fast boot to unlock?
And saurik? He's the king of cydia. He got the exploit?

It worked great, thanks guys

haha..rooted..thanx!!!!!!...

is there a way to make this work with a xoom?

When I try this it shows that it worked, but it doesn't seem to load properly since ROM manager says superuser not found. When I try to update the bineries it also fails on "checking current install path".. failed to find currently installed su binary.
Any ideas?
Edit: I'm running gb 2.3.6

does it work with all android phones.like xperia phone.

Thanks!
Just ordered my wife a Nexus S, will try this Friday and report back!

Nice!
Ran it and it worked. Well, ran it and then had to do a few things to prove that it had worked.
After running the script, you have to install Superuser in Google Play Store (Market). Then, I installed MyBackup Pro (paid version) which does a few more fancy things if it has root access. When I ran MyBackup Pro, it said that I have superuser access.
Sweet!
I ran this on a Nexus S i9023 running ICS 4.0.3.
It looks like root access remained after reboot. Pretty good!

COOL! Thanks for sharing! The Nexus is en route!

This is an early April Fool right? The Nexus S is completely open and doesn't need exploits to gain root. Unlock the bootloader then you can use fastboot to install a custom recovery image. Simples.

Hi there, have you made one for the MyTouch4G or do you know if one does exist for it ?
Thanks

Didn't work for me.
Ran the zip, plugged phone in. Downloaded superuser, and then Rom Manager. Rom Manager couldn't see root.
Modified version of this:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/
worked for me.
I had to transfer Rom Manager to the phone via email because I couldn't get it to download anything from the market on wifi. Flashed recovery through CW. MIUI is now on the pone.
SWEET!

got it to work to install ota 4.0.4 manually via cwm...only thing is i lost root and it seems this exploit doesnt work on ota 4.0.4 so i cant run it again...

this is cool
thanks for this man...i used it when i got 4.0.3 and worked well on my i9023...ini 4.0.4 it diddnt work...but i restore back to 4.0.3 and installed voodoo ota root keeper from the market...and i restored the the root ran with the script in this poost in one click in 4.0.4 . awsome

Does it wipe your phone in the process?

That requires wiping your phone, and unlocking your bootloader. Appears this works with a locked bootloader.

[Q] Titanium Backup issues

NooB alert: A quick background before jumping into the problem at hand.
I have been interested in PA rom for a long time, I really like the idea of Pie controls and now Halo. I have done a lot of reading and feel I have a basic understanding of root/rom etc... However, I am not a programmer or anything close to that, and still a greenhorn. I have a few questions but right now I have one main problem:
1. I rooted my Atrix HD on AT&T 4.1 yesterday via the Motochopper
2. Verified root access
3. Installed Safestrap successfully
4. Installed Titanium Backup
5. Installed Rom Manager, but it doesn't seem to work with the Atrix HD as there isn't an official CWM.
When I 1st installed TB, I got an error message, see attached image. I re-rooted, and uninstalled/reinstalled TB, no error message. When I run the full backup, the black pop-up box that says 'TB given root access' continues to pop up over and over, and usually about 15-20% through the backup, it stops and kicks out to the home screen. I'm not sure what the issue here is? Does anybody know what could be going on?
Also, to answer some additional questions. Do I have to unlock the bootloader to use PA rom, or can I just do that via Safestrap? Like most newbies, I'm just afraid of screwing something up and I really don't want to do that.

for the first qn, please update super user / super su binaries, you can update it in settings of that app. and for installing PAC you need to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery.. DO NOT TRY ANYTHING WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER.....

I cannot find anywhere to update the su in the su app or TB app.
Thanks for clearing up the bootloader issue. I first thought you could flash the rom without it and just using Safestrap, but the more I read it seemed like I needed to unlock the bootloader...so I got confused.

You have to unlock your bootloader and use cwm. Delete the rom slot you created with safestrap then uninstall safestrap.

I did install Safestrap, but I never actually ran the program. Can I just uninstall it? I didn't want to access that program until I fixed the TB issue I'm still having.

Uninstall it. Delete any trace of it. Don't use it again.

Uninstall complete. I searched using the File manager, deleted the Safestrap folder, restarted and still got the safestrap menu.
Edit:
The safestrap folder keeps coming back after I delete it.

Okay, I figured out this issue. I had to reinstall SS and remove the recovery, then uninstall.
So, now how do I fix my Titanium Backup issue? I would like to get that part done before moving on to unlocking the bootloader.

That's what I said to do originally lol. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling tb since safestrap Removal? And are you positive your rooted? Checked with root checking app?

You're right, I reread it and realized what I did. I did confirm root. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still doesn't work. Should I unroot and reroot?

I don't have a clue then. I'd email tb support.

I emailed TB, I'll report back when I hear from them.

Before I unlock the bootloader, is then any other way to backup my apps and personal info?

I also downloaded Mybackup Root, this did not work either. It did a similar thing to TB, it kept flashing up 'root permission granted' and after a few apps, it kicked out to the homescreen.

TB is by far the best way to back up data, but you can back up your entire system/data (which is recommend in case of a bad flash) with ClockWorkMod's ROM Manager . You don't need the premium but if you end getting deep into this kind of stuff I'd recoommend it

I downloaded that, but there is no option for the Atrix HD under the list of phones. Do I use the Photon Q?

No. Actually, before you do any of that use the MythTools on you computer and run the program and install CWM on you phone (option #3). After launch Rom manager and choose "Device Not Listed Above". Then scroll down to "backup and restore" and press "backup current rom" follow the instructions and that should do it.

I was hoping to get TB working prior to unlocking the bootloader. Can I change the Superuser app that came with the Motochopper? Maybe that will fix my issue.

I instaled SuperSU and it replaced Superuser. This seems to have done the trick.

[Q] downgrade from kitkat to gingerbread

Hi, I need to downgrade from kitkat to gingerbread in order to make Barclays pingit work. I tried many things but the damn app to my disgust won't work on rooted phones. Is it just a matter of using ODIN? And which gingerbread ROM should I use? Can you please send me some links thanks! :crying:

Have you tried temporary unrooting from the superSU/Superuser options then installing the app.

Hi, thanks for the reply, when I install SuperSU it tells me I need to update binary SU by doing a manual Re-root? What does it mean?

Just flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/370/Sup...erSU-v1.80.zip download link is at bottom of page.
EDIT: here's the latest update at bottom of page http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/

Thank you, I flashed it, went to SuperSu, did the full un-root, it worked as the app disappeared but the damn Barclays app still finds the root and wont work...is there any other way around it? Or downgrading...

Found this but you need to install the 'Xposed Framework'' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577095

Thanks but I've already downgraded to stock rom, did what I had to do with Barclays Pingit and re upgraded to kitkat again...now I won't be doing this crap anymore, I will just buy a cheap 2nd hand mob, install the almighty Barclays apps and use that when needed...easy...:cyclops:

Yeah probably a better idea until the almighty Barclays app gets an update so customers can use it on rooted phone, but tbh i can't see that happening anytime soon.

You could install xposed and use root cloak. Apps that don't work if you have root are just stupid.

[Q] Verizon Maintenance Update KXA21.12-L1.26-3

So this morning I got this maintenance update and now I'm being told that an update is available and that this install is differed. When I click on "select to continue update" I'm told my system is up to date. I've already wiped cache, which did not help. Anyone else experiencing this?

Are you unlocked and rooted?

Nope, totally stock Verizon 4.4.4. I'm so far out of the loop, I didn't even know I could unlock and root in the first place.

Anyone have a fxz for this update? I have it too, but I am rooted with twrp.

There does not appear to be an FXZ for this.
You can try flashing stock Recovery.img onto your phone and take it. Unlike other OTA's that failed due to Xposed, this one did not give me any issues installing with Xposed still enabled.
NOTE: I'm unlocked bootloader, rooted, running TWRP, with Xposed instaled (MotoXNetActivity module installed). I haven't made any other modifications. I only run apps that require root like AdFree, wifi tether for root, Root Explorer, etc.

Thanks, I think this answered my questions in the other thread.
Is there a risk to try running the update with stock recovery and other Xposed modules like Gravity Box? Would they fail similarly to a failed system check like I've had in the past for removing/renaming system apps and such?
