[Q] system ui problem

I have looked everywhere for this, but cannot find it. I am not sure how, but the systemui.apk is no longer on my phone, and so all features that it controls are not working. Does anyone have the apk for the Note 1 N7000 jelly bean update that I can download? I am going crazy without my notification bar.
My kernel is 3.0.31-906407
[email protected] #3
Build number: JZO54K.N7000JPLSB.
I have done a factory reset, and tryed to replace it with apk's I have found. I looked at rooting the phone, but I need to ensure I have it till the 28th, when if I cannot fix it my husband will root it. Please let me know if you can help.
Thank you
Nikoah

How do you know systemuiapk is missing? I would expect that it would show a boat load of errors on boot up and not run. What are the symptoms?

It is not listed in the "All Apps" section of the apps manager.
Symptoms: When my phone rings the notification to tell me who is calling does not pop up. I have to go into the phone app to even see who is calling, much less answer the call.
My notification bar is gone.
When I get a text message my phone will vibrate, but not chime.
My wall paper is gone.
I have found threads about rooted phones where people have removed the systemui that this are the same symptoms they have. The problem is that they had the original rooted program they used, so can reinstall that. I cannot do that, as my phone is not rooted. That is why I think my systemui is gone.

Install root explorer and check in /system/app folder for the apk, or in /preload/symlink/system/app. If it's there in preload, you will need to create a symlink for that in system/app.

I found it in system/app folder, but cannot install it, the phone says I cannot install it. Is there something else I can do?

You won't be able to install it as you're not rooted and it requires administrator privileges. But it's there anyway so I don't think that's the issue.
When did it stop working and was there any app you installed beforehand?

It stopped working while I was using Google voice to send a text. And, no I did not download anything right before hand.

Thats really strange... Try rebooting into recovery (Vol up, home and power held down until you see samsung logo) then choose wipe cache and reboot. I doubt that will fix it though.
Only other options I can see are to root device by installing phillz kernel, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery, or root device, reinstall the app and make sure permissions are correct, or wipe device and start from scratch.

You said you tried to replace it ? How? Do you have an odex or deoxed rom? Anyways you will need root access to resolve this issue if you dont want to go about reinstalling the rom again.

That is what I was afraid of. Thank you so much. I did try wiping the cache, and no it did not work. When I get back home to my husband I will try rooting it and going from there. Again thank you.

I looked on the forum and found systemui.apk(s) and downloaded them to my phone and tried to run them. It did not work.

Stop playing with essential parts of your system if you have absolutely no idea of what you are doing.
To get back to a reliable configuration:
download a stock rom and install it following the instructions in Dr. Ketan's thread here.
After that: start to read and learn. High probability this will protect the life of your device.

Getting rid of superuser icon on the official 4.4.2 kitkat

As the title says I can't get rid of the super user icon on the official kitkat. Does anyone know a fix for this? I have super user but no root.

You could try going to best buy and have them flash it... Other than that as of now no. There isn't a way

You can only disable the app by going to System-App- and click disable. To 'get rid' of the app will require root but unfortunately there is no such thing as of now

did you try uninstalling it from inside the playstore app?

I'm experiencing the same issue, and no - since the phone thinks it's a system app, it will not let you completely uninstall it. It will however give you the option to uninstall any updates.

Has this been done? I mean re-flash a stock NC2 over NC2 with the upgraded bootloader? If so, this will definitely get rid of that pesky SU app! Also, if it can be done, what do I say to the Samsung tech nerds about why i want it flashed?
Just asking.

Sounds like you're stuck with even more useless bloat then most.

Go to your nearest Samsung kiosk at your best buy and they will redo the update and that will get rid of the superuser files and all files associated with root. I just went and I'm root anything free. How I know is I used isis and didn't get the your phone is rooted message. Good Luck. O PS you won't loose anything meaning their update don't wipe your phone back to factory. But just in case do a BACKUP.

Thanks guys for all you replies. Will try going to best buy soon to see if they can do it for me.

Going bestbuy in your current state won't work. They are only able to do a update or emergency recovery to NC2, so you will still be stuck with non-working SuperSU still under /system/app even after reflashing. Unfortunately they don't have full factory reset image for 4.4.2 NC2 yet as of 5/17/2014.
What I did to remove that is to flash leaked Kitkat MLG with NC2 bootloader (look for the thread posted by Carl) using Odin, and this will wipe everything out. Then go to Bestbuy Samsung and update to NC2. This is the only way to remove SuperSU or any junk left behind.
As a precaution I did factory reset after I got mine updated to NC2 and after installing some stuff my PlayStore dissappeared so I had to do a factory reset another time. Now I think everything is pure stock.
And you don't have to make up any excuses about why you want it reflashed. Just tell them you had it rooted and now because att MFs locked down everything so bad you couldn't even get rid of it without flashing with leaked Kitkat. Samsung guys are there to help you.
I'm never going to buy another At&t crap again.

I'm going to have to disagree with you since I was in the same boat as the OP. I went to Best Buy Samsung and they did the update from Samsung site and it wiped out all traces of root files and supersu. They first had to download the update from Samsung site and then they connected my note 3 on nc2 with superus still there. Once they finished I checked my disabled apps and superus was no longer listed. I did a complete factory restore to verify it worked and superus was nowhere to be found. Not sure what is different from AT&T update and Samsung but Samsung version completely wipes out root.

[Q] How to do a stock MJ5 upgrade to NC2 ?

Guys
I have a SM-900A on MJ5, not rooted, on ultra mobile (t-mobile)
1. software update says there is no update available.
2. i tried 240258.zip (or something - renamed to update.zip) in sd card...Install from external storage...gives me some error about keys not matching, wipes /data and reboots
The guide to go up to 4.4.2 over here uses a UrDroid rooted 4.4.2 after safestrap. But that was back in Apr 2014 when towelroot was not available.
Where can i just download the correct update.zip and do a stock upgrade to 4.4.2? i do want to root after it but i am assuming towelroot should work without a hiccup. Am i missing something here?
Thanks

I JUST did this same dance. Don't follow any other instructions except for the "Ready to update to KK from JB" guide laid out here. You'll be incredibly pleased ha. So easy and hiccup free. Use Geohot's root toolbar to get you started! Good luck! PM me if you have problems

Thanks monkor..will gave that a shot
edit: monkor..that was I asking about when I said do you really need to safestrap? Can't I just Odin that urdroid rom or the stock update? (Where is the stock update of 4.4.2?)

From what I've read, everyone who deviates from that guide has problems. You might Hey lucky and not, but I'd just go roti the easy method. Took me all of five minutes

[Q] Issues on Sprint::No CDMA

My phone works with LTE data through multiple ROMs however anything that relies on CDMA (voice/text/3G) will not work. It seems to have happened right after I flashed the SaberMod+ Unofficial CM12 on the 02/01 nightly. Has anyone experienced this and fixed the problem. Let me know if you need any extra details.

it sounds like your unit is on LTE only which voice and all that great stuff don't work on.
Use the phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#*
Then select phone information
Then make sure you are on LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) if this doesn't work either set it to LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL)
report back with what yours is on.
You could also manually flash the stock android image to see if everything works as it should

Funny thing. I'm on LTE/CDMA (auto). Any time I try to set it to just CDMA, it bounces back to LTE/CDMA. I can't set 3G or 1x as an option under Mobile Networks either.
Also doesn't work when I set it to LTE/GSM/CDMA.

That is very weird, I personally would do a full backup then flash the factory images from google and see if your issue goes away. Have you tried using the update profile/update prl under mobile settings?

I've tried using a 'Stock' ROM to force provision with no luck. I haven't been able to completely revert back to stock yet. I'll report after I've tried this. PRL Update does nothing to help unfortunately.

I personally do not recommend toolkits, I learned to use fastboot, but not everyone wants to do this. The problem with toolkits is if something goes wrong youll end up stuck unless you know how to do the commands. Plenty have used it here to flash stock, but YMMV.
If you have a computer with ADB already setup and don't mind getting dirty, go the manual route and flash it via fastboot. If you don't have a computer setup already you could try wugs.

You may need to be on a stock ROM for it to work. A menu should open and you select reset. It reprovisions your data service. No personal data is lost.

Whelp, I flashed to complete stock and got my CDMA back. Now to try what killed it again to see if it's consistent, since I know how to fix it now. I really like the SaberMod+ CM12. It was a pity what happened before.
Hopefully this'll be helpful for anyone who gets stuck in a similar situation.

bricked?

I've got the Note 4 N910T3
I rooted, via the beast kernal. Everything was going fine until I decided to factory reset (had a few programs go haywire)
factory reset went fine, I reinnitialized android with my google information. Rebooted the phone, and now I'm stuck at "custom binary blocked by frp"
It's my fault for not rechecking the option in developer settings, but its too late
I can get into download mode, but simply booting, or getting into recovery give me that error.
what can I do to get my phone booting?

That would be the factory reset protection, you need to odin the stock images back on, run through the setup as fast as possible, open developer options, and turn on OEM Unlocking. From there you can flash whatever you'd like. The FRP will also block insecure kernels, and recoveries from being loaded.

That's exactly what I did. And it worked. This just so happened to be the first and only phone I've had with frp. Learn something new everyday.
