Please be more specific I'm really new to this....so basically follow the same steps I did to root it in the first place?

There are two ways to fix this.
1.) Go back into Odin and do the process over again that got you root. (Search XDA to find "Odin back to stock" for our phone)
2.) You can reinstall the app you uninstalled.
Follow instructions below for#2
(Can you navigate the phone without your home button? If not see the ****** at the bottom)
- download this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
-Download this file:
https://mega.co.nz/#!ngZFXKoK!u9LUSTcIZPEljNcbk0mRntjuoIef4e_W7D1QA_63jh0
- Move this file from your "mega downloads" folder to your priv-app folder, using the root browser app you installed. (This is called pushing an apk to the system) see picture for location. [System/priv-app/]
Then you need to set the permissions to
RW-
R--
R--
Reboot your phone and you should be good to go.
****If you can't navigate your phone at all the best way would be to Odin back to stock. You could try using LMT 2.3 (search xda to find this) to put an on screen home button on your phone as well if you want.

[Q] Stop Auto VZW Auto Update

I found how for the X2 but the instructions dont work for the Revolution.
Anyone know the way to stop it?
Thanks
Using root explorer goto /system/lib/libdme_main and add .bak to the end of it. You will keep bluetooth and no more update. Make sure you do NOT mess with anything else!

I deleted that file (adding.bak sounds much better) and it has gone away, just like mtmichaelson said.
Sweet thank. Ya on my droid 2 i stopped a bunch of stuff and just did the .bak so if i need it later i can just change it back.
Thanks
Just to double check, this works on revo phone.
When I acess file it has .so file type do I change .so to bak?
I just added .bak after the .so

Revolt - LTE
I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed that after I flashed Revolt 1.3, I never see the "LTE" symbol in my notification bar. I'm in an LTE area, so I know it's available--does that mean my phone isn't running LTE anymore or is the symbol just not showing up on this ROM? I apologize in advance if this is a ridiculously misguided question--I'm new here and learning as I go.
By the way, mtmichaelson--I said this before and I'll say it again--awesome ROM! Thanks again for your hard work.

So, right now it is a .so file. Do I just add .bak to it, or change it from .so to .bak?
(Just want to be extra sure.)
Also,I would like to root my phone. I found a way that someone rooted theirs with their 2.2.2. Do you think I should root first, then change the file so it doesn't update? Or does it matter?
by the way, Here is the root I found(sorry it's a bit long):
"How to root your OTA Updated Revo:
This method requires you to downgrade your phone back to the V4 stock version. As of now, there seems to be no root process for the V6 update. This method has worked for me and I am also on a custom ROM that has been said to have some, if not most of the V6 updates included without the bloatware.
Step One:
- Be sure to get the following files:
---- LG VZW_United_WHQL_v1.2.0.exe
---- LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe
---- LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip
---- VS910.dll (required to use LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip)
---- VS910ZV4_04.S4_04.P58008.R5.user.tot
---- RevoToolkit-1.0.apk (This is untested by me but supposed to provide an easier method to install CWM mod vs the ADB method)
---- SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse (Includes the needed ADB program)
---- rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (The exploit needed to root revo, not necessarily found with SuperOneCLick)
---- RevoltRom1.3.zip (This is optional, but recommended to speed up your revo and also to comply with the original topic of this thread. It 'seems' to stop the OTA from 'trying' the update since it includes updated features. NOTE that I said 'seems'... Other things I did may be the actual result I haven't seen the OTA try to install...
Ok, so to start, you will want to be sure that you have the drivers on your computer (I'm using windows 7 x64), so that is what this method has proven to work on by me.
Be sure to install:
- LG VZW_United_WHQL_v1.2.0.exe
- LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe
Both may not be required, but I have both installed and things worked.
Then you will need to install:
- LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip
- VS910.dll (This is just copied into the folder LGNPST/Models. My install put the LGNPST program in C:\LG Electronics, not c:\Program Files (x68)... )
- You will run the LGNPST program, select the VS910.dll via Menu: File --> Select DLL.
- Then, in the bottom right of the LGNPST program, select BIN File (folder icon) to load the 'bin'.
--- This will require you to enter *.* in order to find the .tot file. Don't worry, this .tot file is what you need in the LGNPST Program.
- Once loaded and your phone is connected and recognized (Phone must be in 'Internet USB Mode'), hit the Start Button. This will begin the process of restoring your phone back to V4.
After that has completed, which takes a while, you will then need the SuperClick program to root.
- Copy, or verify, the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin file is located in the Exploits folder where you extraced SuperOneClick.
- Run SuperOneClick, Select the exploit pull down (which defaults to 'auto') and select the rageagainstthecage option.
- Press the Root button and let it do its thing.
--- If it fails, this is what I had to do.. Reboot your phone. While it is rebooting, have the SuperOneClick program ready and waiting for you to hit Root again. As soon as the LG Logo becomes animated, hit Root and let it try again (While it is rebooting). This seemed to get the read/write options to work, where failed. This possibly is part of the update that is sticking around to stop you from rooting. So, try a few times. If/when succeeded, move on to the next steps if you wish to have some of the update 'fixes' without the update and a faster custom ROM...
To install a ROM, you need to have CWM installed.
Two methods to doing so seem to exist:
- The method I used was at this link: [RELEASE][6-14-2011] CWM Ported to the Revolution 4G! - xda-developers
Follow that and you should have a backup original image and the new image to get CWM to work to install custom ROMs
- The OTHER method, which is UNTESTED by me, is to use a simple tool called RevoToolKit, which is and APK file that runs directly on your phone. If it works, which others seem to say it does, this would be the most simple form of installing CWM to your phone. Be aware that this app is small, but uses a downloader to install CWM, so you want to make sure you have a good internet connection or data connection...
After that, you will want to follow the directions for CWM (ClockWorkMod) at this link:
- [Rom][8-17-11]Revolt Rom 1.3 - xda-developers
After all that, you should have a rooted Revo AFTER you managed to do the update.
I included links to some instructions in order to shorten up this post and not 'copy' someone else's methods and be sure that you can give the credit to them. The only credit I deserve for this is a complete step-by-step, in one place procedure to get you back or to root your Revo if you did the update.
In time, I am sure that there will be a simpler way to root the OTA Update, but until then, this is working for me and hope that this helps clear up some issues for others that find it tough to get back to root after the OTA Update."
It then has the file links, but I cannot post them since I am a newb.
Thanks again!
I don't see a way for you to change the file from .so to .so.bak without having root as far a rooting you only have to downgrade if your phone its v6 if out is running v4 all you need to do is root it

Is there a way to do this without buying root explorer? I have bloat freezer so is there anything I can just freeze?
Thank You
*EDIT* just bought root explorer for $.99 through Amazon Appstore for those who still need it.
I'm on V4 and rooted back from V6 but it does not let me rename due to it being a read only file? sooo how do I add the bak? opened it with root explorer and it requested superuser privileges and I ok'ed it but when I go to /system/lib/libdme_main.so and try to rename it, it won't let me.

On the top right of root explorer is a "Mount R/W" button. Click that and it should let you make changes to the system.
Hope it helps

Thanks a bunch . That worked! I had pushed it at the system level. Didn't pay attention that I had to do it at the folder I'm in.

You need to be rooted, at least to be able to use AntTek and Root Uninstaller, and no, you won't loose it in case of FW update, unless the upgrade is for the camera too... but the process is fast. 5 minutes and its done

Thanks Dude, but did download the ICS Camera, to take pictures without shutter sound.
Ruedas, a rooted phone doesnt receive OTA updates, right?
strange thing that i downloaded the apk, tried to install it but wouldnt work even after changing permissions. Had no camera forawhile. Downloaded the stock apk, just copy and pasted it in the folder and all of a sudden i have my camera back with no shutter sound...no idea why but thanks
I'm trying my best to fix (IOW; mute) the shutter sound on my GF's O4X. While I believe I understand how this is done, I'm not able to actually get it done.
I've managed to get the phone rooted (thanks to alexp999's simple to follow guide). If I've understood things correctly; I now need to replace the original camera.apk with the modified one found in this thread.
Problem is that, in the /system/app folder, both renaming files (the old camera.apk) and copying files (the new camera.apk) to the folder fails.
Anyone able to see what I'm missing / doing wrong? Any help would be thoroughly appreciated!..

Thanks for the reply and suggestion RuedasLocas!
Titanium Backup seems to have the option to uninstall system apps, I'll give that a go. Would however like to figure out how to copy files to the system/app folder before I do that (given that this is required to re-install/enable the camera). Have tried with both ES File Manager and Total Commander; both have been given SU-privelages, both are able to browse to the folder, neither is able to copy files to or rename files in the folder...

Tried AnTek Explorer; What an interesting file manager! Will have to test this for a longer period of time, could possibly become my new goto file manager. Thanks for the tip!..
Though I couldn't get the new/modified camera.apk to the system/app directory. Though this time it failed with an error messge; "Error Don't have enough permission to do this action" (see attached screenshot). Have double-checked that "Native mode" is enabled within AnTek and that its (permanently) enabled in SuperSU. Not sure how I can give an app even more permissions...

Thanks for all the help! Rebooting allowed me to rename files. Then I finally figured out why copying files to the system folder failed (or at least partly); For reasons unknown to me, I weren't allowed to copy/move files directly from the external_sd card to the system/app directory, Had to first move the to an internal location, then I could move then to the desired location!
End result; The annoying shutter sound is gone! :victory:
Again; Thanks for all the help!

[Q] I changed provider and the simtoolkit is not present

I have JB XXLPZ and changed provider today.
From the documentation from the provider I need to set things via the simtoolkit. I don't see the icon and can't find it anywhere?
Also I have the phone rooted and am running the TZ 3.5 kernel.
Any hints or tips?

Install SD Maid app, press left soft button and go to settings of that app. Check "Include system packeges?". Go back, then go to tab APPCONTROL. Refrash it, then search for stk. Press on it, and tap on Start application.

Reboot. You pushed this file? And did remove previous apk and odex file of it?
P.S. If you really need that app to open do this:
1. Make backup in CWM.
2. Flash stock FW with Odin. And do factory reset. Or try with factory reset first, without flashing JB with Odin again, if that do not help, then flash FW.
3. Use app for your needs
4. Root phone again
5. Install TZ 3.5
6. Restore your backup.

I removed the previous two files and copied the one you supplied in it's place.
Ran sd-mail and was able to find the stk app. Unable to run it though.
Then reboot.
After the reboot the sd-maid app was unable to find the stk application like the original ones.

Solved!
The provider said that my simcard didn't need to be changed because it was of the newer type. So the sim toolkit was not being able to run because it detected the newer type.
Then I explained that I still had no internet. She talked me throug all the settings and they were fiine. On their website there are numerous samples per phone on how to setup this manually.
Is seems that the settings defer for some phones. They told me I had to type "internet" in the access type section while it had to be "default" what I found out by checking the phone of my wife. She has the same provider.
After changing I had my dataconnection.
Thanks for thinking with me!

[Q] Need Droid 3 System apps!

Hey guys...
Im in a pickle...
I was being an idiot and I deleted some authenticator system apps... Now com.motorola.contacts etc. do not work...
I remember at one time there were some system apps that you can download and re-add in "apply update from sd card"
can anyone post them... or should I just reflash my SBF... or whatever its called now...
Thanks.
IMO the quickest method right now would be to backup all user data/apps via TiBu, then flash stock ROM (or whatever). I think there are links to a few on the ROM forums with all bloatware removed, which would be a good way to go...

I removed some of the system files from my xt860 2.3.4 and can't seem to find a fix for it. It won't let me edit contacts at all. I did a factory reset through the recovery menu as well as a reset through the system menu. I downloaded the files that I removed (I think I got them all) and put them into the system/app folder. I changed the permissions to rw- r-- r-- and owner to uid using root explorer. I've been searching for fixes for this for days, but all of them on xda have links to downloads that don't exist anymore.
Please help.

Why not just sbf
sbf.droid-developers.org
Grab the appropriate zip file and find yourself RSDLite. Unzip the file and point RSDLite at the xml contained in the newly unzipped folder and presto chango, like new phone.
I'm not sure if they have 2.3.4 for xt860, but I'm not sure why you're still on 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.6

I had previously found the S voice APK on Google, they never worked, always CTD on start, just had the idea to make it a system app and it worked so happy, happy. 2nd I am not looking for the AT&T app I want the Samsung car mode app, which is not on the playstore and I assume is hidden on the Galaxy store like the S voice app.

Gotcha
Yeah, I am just hoping someone with a non AT&T S5 will take 5 minutes to post the APK.

Install a launcher, Nova or Apex both work. Add a shortcut (system shortcut not apps) choose a setting short cut and look for Drive Mode. It also gives you the option to use Download Booster. Which AT&T has removed.
The drive mode is present in your phone, its only hidden cuz they want you to use their AT&T drive mode. Samsung one still exists! Hope this helps.
Are you running an S5, I am using a custom rom for my 900A, it lacks this function though even the nandroid backup lacks the required apk

Hello, I am running an ATT S5 and although there is the bloat were drive mode app I am looking for the stock car mode app and was hoping someone could upload the required APK for me as I cannot find it anywhere. Many thanks.
Edit: The S voice APK would also be most helpful.

Okay, here are the files from the /system/ directory of my own S5. Mine is the Sprint variant, however I'm confident that they're the same...
You CAN NOT flash this .zip in recovery, you must extract the contents and copy to the appropriate directories in the system partition.
Remember after you put them there, you must change the permissions for the folders and the files:
__________/rwxr-xr-x/ rw--r--r
/system/app/DriveLink/DriveLink.apk
________________________________
__________/___rwxr-xr-x___/ rw--r--r
/system/app/DriveLinkRemote/DriveLinkRemote.apk
___________________________________________
______/______/----------rwxr-xr-x----------/-----rw--r--r
system/priv-app/S-Voice_Android_phone/S-Voice_Android_phone.apk

Hope this helps someone... =3

No, you dont do that....
you do exactly what i explained....
download the .zip,
extract the contents to SD Card, (or ANY Download folder),
Once extracted, you will have simple directory, starting with "system/",
[ Now, you simply go thru the folders, and copy them from where you extracted them and paste into same folders in your phonephone's "system/" partition....]
Basically;
if you copy it from /system/app/DriveLink/DriveLink.apk on your SD Card,
Then you paste it to /system/app/DriveLink/DriveLink.apk on your phone...
Change permissions as i indicated earlier, as you copy each one,
When all are done, reboot. ..
[While booting back up a message will say something like
"Optimizing Application 1 of 3..."
thats a good sign that you did it right. ...]

Hi, thanks for the explanation, but I'm really new at this, and I need this application.
I do not understand, "Change permissions as I indicated earlier, as each copy"
that you mean this?, the only thing I see is that button "r-w and r-o" or you mean super user permissions?
------------read---------write---------execute
---owner--x-------------- x--------------
----group--x--------------x-------------
----Other--x------------- x------------
----set uid-----------set gid-------r sticky
hello ... when given permission to DriveLink, and drivelinkremote,
at 2 give them permission, but I did this to see if this well in owner, group, others, check all run.
restart, and indeed was installed when lit, but when I want to open, do not find in menu, and the car mode toggle of the active,
I get that you can not open out "car stopped mode"
Do you mean that the app is force-closing when it tries to open after toggling the 'car mode' quicksetting?

okay, hopefully this will answer any questions you have had or would have had...
I know its a little messy, but bear with me, I've never done a Screen Recording before...
Just read the instructions i posted above, watch the videos, and if you still dont get it, read and watch again...
remember to put things in the same folder paths you pull the from (the main difference between the two videos), etc...
Once all are done, reboot....
