Ive tried everything from factory reset to rebooting to removing the battery, I dont understand why my HTC Hero is in safe mode i havent downloaded any apps all i have done is tried to root my phone. I followed all the steps and got all the way to the "UNREVOKED" in the command prompt but i didnt get the "superuser permission" app in my app tray and im thinking its because the phone is in safe mode, anyone got answers about this that could help me out?
Mine was in safe mode after rooting 2.1 as well. I rebooted and it went back to normal. Then again, I notice that you haven't gained root yet. Running Unrevoked should have installed the SU app. If it didn't, I would try running the program again. Other than that, you haven't done anything that will corrupt the system, so I would still reboot and try the whole process again.
Im trying to root it now and everytime i go through the process im not getting the SU app in my app tray, anything you can think of that im missing?

if your not gonna help me than don't bother posting anything, im knew to this and was just looking for help.
updated my HTC hero on sprint to the most recent OTA software update. not firmware, software. it was rooted before but I forgot to unroot before updating. root permissions are now completely jammed/locked up. tried to unroot, no good. tried to re-root, no good. I'm in a state of mid-rootedness. please help. I'm gonna go crazy trying to figure this out myself.
Run an RUU and reroot?
how you do dat? lol sorry I'm kind of a noob to rooting.

That works on the newest hero rom.
I don't know how to run all that stuff. how do you fix it without installing an extra ****-ton of software?
This is why you should read about rooting before you actually root the phone. Run the RUU like suggested, that is the only way you're going to be able to downgrade and root your phone.
Please post in the Q&A section next time when you have a question like this.

You don't install it on your phone... You run it inside of Windows, and then follow the instructions.
I did rum it on windows. it just keeps going not making any progress at all.

My buddy, has an OG Droid. It's a 'spare' phone and not activated...its mostly used as a web browsing (wifi) device. Well, I rooted it for him and got him a root-enabled application remover...well, he 'accidentally' removed dialer.apk. He is not sure what version of android he was on, but I assume it was 2.2 (the latest official firmware).
Can someone either a) post a version or dialer.apk or let me know where I can find it so I can walk him through putting that back on the phone by way of adb. Or b) let me know what I can do to help him with this. He told me he did do a hardware reset, but it made no difference, dialer.apk is still missing.
Now I'm not exactly sure he did a true hardware reset/recovery.
Any ideas? suggestions?
Thanks in advance....

Maybe you have to rename it - it's from an european version of Cynogen Mod 6 - but I suppose it should work if you put it into /system/app directory

I would download and .sbf back to stock, although the question begs, what use is dialer.apk on a phone that's not activated?

Hi, I am the dumb friend that has made a fatal mistake. I was trying to strip my Android of unwanted apps so I could take out my memory card and use it elsewhere. When I was doing this I accidentally deleted dialer. Now when I turn turn on phone a message comes up and tells me dialer is not working and thus I choose force close. Well the problem is this message locks up my phone as its continuously comes back.
I have tried hard reset and this did not work. I also was not paying attention so I did not backup Dialer either
Any and all help is much appreciated for this noob.

If you let me know which sbf you are using, i can extract it for you. btw, is there a dialer.apk in droid? Because the milestone only has Contacts.apk and Phone.apk. I thought dialer.apk was there only in motoblur devices. OG Droid is not one of them.
IF you dont know which rom you are running on your phone, just go to Settings->About Phone, scroll down to the bottom and post a screenshot of your screen.
Update : I just downloaded and unpacked the original Verizon Droid 2.2 sbf from here and i can confirm that there is no dialer.apk in there. Also it is odexed. You are not running the official 2.2 update.
Hello silshen, and than you for taking time out to try to help me.
When I turn on this droid the exact message I get is
! Sorry!
The application Dialer (process
com.android.phone) has
stopped unexpectedly.Please
try again
Force Close
I cannot get any further into my droid now. I force close then this message instantly reappears. I downloaded the link you have posted (ty). Now If I might ask, how would I go about reinstalling 2.2 on this droid? I have 0 experience at
this. Do I need a program on my computer to install?

You have the following options.
You can flash the official sbf using rsdlite.
If you have installed clockworkmod recovery, I can make a flashable update for you.
You can use rootexplorer to copy the contacts and phone apps to your system folder.
You can use adb to push the apps to system partition.
Best option is to flash sbf. You can then root your phone using z4root/universal androot or superoneclick root. Then install rom manager and then flash whatever custom rom you want.

Use the attached guide to flash the official 2.2 sbf if your phone is a verizon droid. Follow procedure and please note that all risk that comes with this is yours. If you follow procedure, you shouldn't have any problems.
I'm not to worried about contacts or apps because this is my 'gaming' droid.Even though the Ram(if that is what it is called) is a bit small and can not run every game.Atm I have downloaded rsdlite 4.5.3 and will try to begin to 'flash' this droid. This droid was rooted before if that is any help.

You will lose root when you flash the sbf. Root the phone using the method i told you or get your friend to help you out again.
Thank you very, very, very, much for your help.

Download rsdlite 4.6 or above and try running the program as admin. Have you installed any other recovery like cwm or sprecovery on your phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I have upgraded to 4.6, gave RSD Lite Admin rights(doh' I should have done that >.<
Vdroid is now able to be flashed. Model still came up different though,but this worked like a charm!!!! Thank You!!!

Just Got It Fixed
I also have the same problem on my Cherry Mobile Infinix Pure. Just got fixed it yesterday. Good thing that I already backed up my system before it happened. I have a stock app and its components .odex file. Just download it here.
Instruction:
1. Download the "Priv-app" on Facebook. Search the group Free Applications
2. Extract it.
3. Copy "Dialer.apk and Dialer.odex File.
4. Paste it in \system\priv-app on your android phone.
5. Press and hold Dialer.apk and click properties.
6. Uncheck all boxes except read only.
7. Click OK and Reboot.
Thatsss alll. Hope it might help you.
I used Super One Click to root my phone a few months ago, only to remove most of the bloatware that came on the phone. My phone now keeps trying to update to the new software, usually only once every 24 hours, but the past week, a few days it has automatically tried updating several times throughout the day. Very frustrating.
Obviously it won't update being rooted. However, I removed the bloatware, so I don't care that it is rooted anymore. I figure I can unroot it and then get the update to work. However, using Super One Click again, it won't unroot. It gets the error "Device does not have Superuser!" I can then proceed to root it with SOC and have it be successful, and try again and get the same error. Any ideas?
And I guess, will unrooting allow me to successfully update it anyways? Thanks!
The phone should update if it is rooted. It will not update if you have CWM installed. You will also get all that lovely bloatware installed back during the update.
Your best bet is to get the lgpnst and v8 tot and update manually then root that and remove the bloatware again.
Thanks for the help. I'm very new to this, so I don't really know what you're talking about haha. I see some stuff on tot, but what is the lgpnst? If you could link to that and the v8 tot you are talking about and maybe how to use those, that would be great.

What version of Kingo did you try? Use 1.1.5 or 1.1.8. People have had success with that. 1.1.8 worked for me. Just Google around and you will find the download on the net somewhere.

that sucks. factory reset? ill most likely still have the issue but maybe not. isnt there a way to completely wipe the phone from the boot screen? id rather not if i dont have to.
You can try a factory reset and then root. If not there is a thread in the general section to go back to stock. Works great. I used it.

but arent i technically back to stock? since i dont have root access? this is very confusing to me. if my carrier didnt push that update i wouldnt be in this boat
You are but we can't figure out why you can't root when others in your situation can. There is Kingo thread you can check out. Maybe you can find some answers there.

Factory Reset after the update to NB4, also go to recovery wipe cache, then try the 1.18, during the rooting process, look your phone screen, you need to click accept something twice,
I don't know how it all works terribly well but you said you still have Safestrap? Can you still install ROMs and can they have root?
Also, for when you eventually do get it working again. I recommend freezing the ATT updater. It can be awful when it eventually FORCES an update.
I got a free app called App Quarantine and froze "AT&T Software Update".

You will just have to follow the restore to MJ5 thread. The instructions are simple and very easy to follow. Go slow and follow them to the T.
What they do not mention however is do not use a 3.0 USB port. Only 2.0 will work.
Just follow that.
It is literally impossible to brick this phone to the point of it being unrecoverable. There is a tutorial to restore from hard bricks without J-Tag.

Hey graydiggy, I did the restore back to MJ5, but can't seem to get the last step for rooting to work. I tried every way with putting the rdlv on internal...unzipped and zipped. I even tried doing the same on the external sd as well. When I reboot supersu doesn't do anything. Any suggestion on how to get the last step to work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

It has to be unzipped and on the internal. You have to reboot a few times for it to activate. After the first reboot, let the phone sit for a few minutes and then reboot again. You should be good to go after that.
