[Request] Bell XT860 System Dump

Hi all,
So thankfully I only deleted insignificant apps and I'm not in a brick state, but deleting yahoo contacts did cause an odd error with my general contacts application (which has been cited as a common error). PSouza's tools are great if you're with Verizon, but the system app folders are not the same with Bell & Verizon.
Request? A clean copy/dump of Bell XT860's system apps folder.

Sir, as per your request here is my zipped /system/apps folder from my Bell XT860. http://www.multiupload.com/WWZYSJP7DH . It was just copied with astro/root explorer and rar'd on a pc so the permissions are all messy I'm sure but best of luck.
Edit: Blurhome2.apk and quickoffice.apk are corrupted and can be downloaded below. Ty UnhappyDroid3User

You are my F***ing hero! I applied the push commands suggested by psouza and they worked perfectly using your files, so we can confirm that several of the files on the XT860 DO use different versions than on the Droid 3 for Verizon.

I hate to bump an older thread but I cannot access multiupload anymore. I mainly want to restore the factory default programs before I reset my phone. Will resetting the xt860 loose the carrier unlock? I got this phone from someone at XDA.

[Q] Messed up the root folder(/)

I accidentally messed up the root folder(/), which contains system, cache, data, lta-label etc folders
Now how can I make the whole root folder back to the original state?
To solve this, can I flash a firmware by Flashtool with "Exclude Partition" unticked?
Will every folder and file under the root folder come back to the original state?
By the way, can lta-label folder be deleted?
Thank you!

Can you elaborate on messing up the root folder? What exactly is messed up?

Flashing a FTF can clear most partitions, but not everything like TA. So no 100% clean slade I'm afraid. However this can solve problems such as yours.

I believe / is a ramdisk mounting everything together. This means that on every boot this ramdisk is recreated and all adjustments you made to / before will be gone. So your TB folder is actually nowhere, so nothing for you to worry about. It's like it was before you wrongly copied the folder. No need to flash an ftf, but if it makes you feel good .

what you said makes me stop worrying.
Besides TB folder I also wrongly copied some files just under the root folder.
I once worried that after a reboot they will not be deleted and just be hidden and be nowhere to be found so that they will permanently exist in a unknown place on my phone.
Now I know that they can be simply 'killed' by completely flashing a ftf.
So can I get a conclusion:
If the root folder is messed up, for example, saving files and folders under lta-lable folder or under any other folder in the root folder or just under the root folder(/), everything that shouldn't exist will be deleted and everything under the root folder will be back to the factory state by flashing the whole ftf.
Is this right?
Thank you!

Yes, only you don't have to because of the fact you wrote to ram, so nothing is messed up .

No, that's not right .
When you write anything to / (not further down!), it will be gone like it never existed. This is because writing to / is actually to RAM. RAM is cleared on reboot.
So conclusion is, you don't have a messed up /, since it is restored after a reboot. This is only the case when you write directly to /. So not necessarily when you write to a folder called /foo or /bar. You don't have to do anything, since there is no mess and all is fine.
A RAM disk is an area in memory which is mounted as disk, as if it is disk space while it actually is RAM space which is cleared when the device reboots or shuts down. When the device boots it recreates this RAM disk and copies the necessary files and folders to it. It also mounts certain partitions under aliases like /system and /data. When the RAM disk is removed from memory - at a shutdown or reboot - it will only clear the files and folders copied to / and the aliases of the partitions mounted, not the content of the partitions themselves. So when you write to /system/ it will not be gone at next boot while something written to / directly will. I hope it makes a bit more sense now .

now i understand
and i did a test.
i created a folder and a file under / whose permissions were set the same as the permission of other files under /
after a reboot the created folder and file disappear
so i think what you said is undoubtly right
but if i write something further down then i have to flash a ftf because flashing a ftf can wipe every partition mounted under /
is this right?
thank you!

Most, not every. Partitions like TA cannot be wiped by flashing a ftf.

As said not every partition, like the TA for instance. However in most cases flashing ftf will do.

[Q] Can't Access Internal SD Card - Need original platform.xml file

So things were going well... I had rooted my S5 thanks to Geohot, was able to install and run Titanium Backup and see my old backups from my last phone. Then when I tried to backup my S5 I ran into the "insufficient space error". A quick Google searched revealed that I needed to edit my platform.xml file to be able to write to my entire External SD. So I did edit platform.xml, reboot the phone and voila.... I can't access either my internal or my external SD card! Far as I can tell, I screwed up my permission in platform.xml.
Can someone please send me their original so that I can hopefully get my phone fixed?
If that doesn't work I may just have to reformat and lose all my data since I can't find any other way to fix permission since I can't run most of the programs on my phone (I can, however, use Solid Explorer).

Where is the file located? And you need it from a non rooted phone? Just did this for another member today.... I suppose I could do this for you as well.... don't want you to lose all your data bro.
---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------
What I did with titanium Bu was use the sdfix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and went into preferences in TBU and changed Backup Folder Location to /storage/extSdCard/TitaniumBackUp
This of course assuming you have a micro sd card in the phone. Give me the path to where the file is and I'll grab it for you from my wife's non rooted phone.

Thanks again for the file, however it does not seem to have done the trick. As far as I can tell, something is happening where the mapping is incorrect for my internal and external SD. I can still access the files for the internal SD through /data/media/0 and the external SD through the media_rw directory, but the "normal" mappings lead to an empty folder. This is a real problem because most of my apps can't run without access to these folders (I have about 6 apps continously FC'ing when I boot up the phone). What do I do?!?!

I had the same issue. First try a factory reset. If that does not work, then you will need to downgrade, with a factory reset. Just resetting the platform.xml file doesn't work without a factory reset, neither does a factory reset without resetting the platform.xml file. Once you screw up the permissions, then your phone is screwed pretty good. I have a guide in the general section.

[Q] Calendar won't sync and how to get back to stock recovery?

Is there any way to fix it?
I am on TWRP and is it possible to go back to stock recovery? And install the stock 4.4.4 again?
Thanks

Pull the recovery from your XML & use Rashr tools if rooted.

Unzip your XML & place the recovery.img on SD. Tell Rashr to flash it. It is a bit funky/awkward.

then you have partial root. its a normal issue, that happens often enough. to be 100% sure, you can try editing tour build.prop file. if the edits stay after a reboot then you have full root. if they don't stay after a reboot, then you have partial root. which is why viper isn't working. it can also be that your system is full. you can delete whichever apps you don't use from /system/app/, which will give you space. you did say you flashed it but it never appeared. if its full, it can't appear.

i know, google did it on purpose. to fix that delete whichever system apps you dont use. and storage has nothing to do with system space. system space iz held in a seperate partition.
