Does this update.zip exist?

I posted my predicament in the General forum about my PC frying my Captivate.
Well to sum it up, my pc has been frying usb devices left and right. Mainly it is killing the usb chipset controllers on the devices. This now means my phone can no longer mount to my pc in any way. If I plug it in, I get an immediate "usb device not recognized."
I want to take this to AT&T and see if they can do anything, but of course my phone is rooted and has the bloatware removed.
Since I can't get my phone connected to my pc in any way, I obviously can't use Odin to reflash my phone to stock and I can't use One-Click to unroot either.
Is there any update.zip file out there that will reinstall the att bloatware and get rid of root/superuser? I don't have any hacked firmware or custom roms on my phone as all I did was root and get rid of the att apps.
I simply need a way to put the att apps back on my phone and get rid of root/superuser WITHOUT the use of a pc.
Thanks a bunch guys!

Off the top of my head, I see two possibilities.
1) Do it by hand. Find copies of the original apps and install them, then look at what the root update.zip script does and undo it.
2) get someone to make a stock nandroid backup and restore it to your phone.

I have all the original .apk files for the ATT apps but I can't just put them on my phone and install them. I need to side load them which I can't due unless I have access to a PC. Unless I'm missing something

DG's zip has busybox and superuser included, you need to remove those files first on your pc. If your pc has a card reader you can use it to transfer the file back to your sd card after it's edited.

I think the incident with my phone won't allow my phone to read external microSD either. I can still browse the internal fine but I don't think it can read any external anymore.

Use android terminal emulator the same way you would adb to copy the .apk files to /system/app.
Or... you can use es file explorer with system mounted and copy them that way. Then reboot. As for unroot.... Idk what to tell you, I don't have that phone..
Also, I would recommend testing it on another pc. Yours is likely stupid, not frying the usb ports. If this were so, it shouldn't charge either.

The usb ports are 100% frying the chipsets on usb devices. I have a network adapter, a flash drive, external hard drive, and a brand new flash drive that all have a burnt chip after being in the usb for longer than 10 seconds. Most will still power on when plugged into another pc but they just cant interface with the pc's with the chipsets being fried, it has no way to properly communicate.
I've tested my phone and all the fried flash drives on 4 pcs at this point.

since you are still rooted, to reinstall the at&t apps look into wireless adb. it will allow you to push apps over a wifi network.

I am still reading that entire thread. I understand how to do it, but does it put the bloatware back on? If it does and will also remove root/superuser then that is perfect for me.

Like I said the zip file has SU in it, remove it first before you use it if I assume you plan on returning your captivate. If you want I can edit that file for you and PM you the link where to download the file on your phone.

I do plan on returning it and I know that SU has to be removed but I guess I just glanced over your post
If that zip can give me the bloatware back and then all I have to do is remove superuser and busybox then I'll be one step closer then where I am now.

Hassle sideloading, please help!

Hello all,
I have been creeping these forums for quite some time, but this will be my first post since I can't seem to get sideloading to work on my Galaxy Gear.
First of all, it was very hard to find the apk file i wanted (fat finger calculator), so I settled with an apk file for a calculator another helpful member developed himself. It was very easy to download, compared to other popular free apps. I don't understand why people can't upload the apks of other apps just liek he did.
I went through the steps to be able to sideload, but immediately hit a snag because my gear didnt have the usb debug option. I managed to find a solution by tapping my version number seven times (?). Everywhere else I didn't see people having this problem, or describing it in how to guides, very strange indeed..
Sideloading apps to the gear is described as "very easy", but as I finally got to the step to sideload the apk file in cmd after the above procedures I get an error that nobody has brought up as a potential problem, nor a fix for it. Hence this post.
I use the command: adb install C:\Users\SP Gaming I\Desktop\samsung\calculator.apk
and I get the error: too many files specified; only takes APK file and verifier file
Sideloading isnt as easy as it is described in countless sources, and there isn't a good, accessible step by step guide. Not that I could find anyway. I dont want to use any third party applications, and would really like to sideload through cmd and adb.
Can someone help me with this last obstacle i ran into? I can't find any information on what I am doing wrong. The app should be able to install with this command, no? I have the drivers and ADB. What am I doing wrong?
I really need a simple calculator on my gear, it would be so nifty in my everyday work/life. Please someone, help me!
-edit lol, before posting this, I wanted to try to install it from a simpler path: c:\calculator.apk
this actually did the trick and I managed to install the app! however, maybe someone will have use for my post since I encountered so mnay snags..

It is not easy....it is EXTREMELY easy. If you are running Null rom just use usb cable tu put the apk on you gear and then with any file manager install. Or I have also used the Google Play store on my PC and sent it directly to my Gear.
Do you have gapps?
Are you running null?

For the uninitiated, you are jumping over a few steps that may seem easy and obvious to you, but not for the first timer. Did you read my thread?
First of all, how would one get a hold of the apk file one would need for the installation process? All links i can find routes me to the google play store. If i press install there, it asks me which device I want it on, and can only find my mobile phones in that drop down list. It doesn't give me a raw .apk file. After some googling there seem to be some plugin for chrome to do it, but I run Firefox and I don't want to install chrome on my machines for various reasons. ALso by looking on the guide to fetch the apk with that plugin, it doesnt seem as easy as using any other plugin, I have to input my device id and things like that. Atleast a few steps only there to get the desired apk file downloaded.
I want to quote you again: "It is not easy....it is EXTREMELY easy. If you are running Null rom just use usb cable tu put the apk on you gear and then with any file manager install. Or I have also used the Google Play store on my PC and sent it directly to my Gear."
Oh lawdy, if it was this easy I would have had my calculator on my gear one hour ago, the moment I started researching if I could get a calculator. "Just use USB cable". On you it sounds like it would find the apk, download it, install it on my gear, all this automatically, only by plugging my gear into my computer with an USB cable. Maybe you missed that I didn't even have the USB debug option under "more info", under settings. Nowhere I read initially, it said that I had to go to dev mode by tapping my version number 7 times in order to get the USB debug option.
Maybe by judging by my first post and the process I had while doing this "extremely" easy thing, you would notice that I am a very novice user when it comes to these things. I am sorry if I upset you by reaching out for help. Get real man.

Easiest method that I have been using is Wonder share on a PC. My computer recognized my Note 3 and installed drivers before this. To get APPS I put on phone using app store, then Export to PC folder, then Install to Gear. with both look up by USB is very fast and easy to get from the phone to the gear you can also load music files and movies this way and put programs on your gear like the Apollo player or mX Video Player I'm able to watch movies and podcast on the gear this way and listen to music that is on the gear.

The reason is that your path has spaces in it. Command line tools treat spaces as delimiters between arguments. In other words, It thinks you want to adb install "C:\Users\SP", "Gaming", and "I\Desktop\samsung\calculator.apk". The fix for this is, like you did, either move it to another directory, or (even easier) simply put quotes around the file name. So, your full command would be
adb install "C:\Users\SP Gaming I\Desktop\samsung\calculator.apk"
As a tip for command line stuff in the future, do this.
cd "C:\Users\SP Gaming I\Desktop\samsung"
adb install calculator.apk
You can also use the Tab key to autocomplete file names when in cmd.exe on Windows, which will auto-add the quotes if they are needed.
As you mentioned in your other post, acquiring APK files in the first place isn't immediately obvious. You can use:
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
and just paste the Google Play link in and download, even without the extension. However, once set up, the Chrome extension is extremely easy to use; just click the button and you're done. If you really really don't want to install Chrome for your untold reasons, you can always set up a virtual machine, or use a program like Sandboxie to make sure it doesn't touch the rest of your system.
It does seem odd that none of the guides say that you had to hit the version number 7 times; that's actually been a part of Android since 4.2. All USB Debugging options are disabled until you do that, on any device.

Unable to install anything via Oculus

Hi all.
As per subject, for some reason I cannot install or update any content in Oculus Store.
I can see download progress but once it reaches 100% it won't install.
I have tried everything : clear Oculus data, un-install and install Oculus Store again etc. The only thing which helps is factory reset. What am I doing wrong?
Solved : See my post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59150621

I have a similar Problem.
Workaround: once the download has started remove the note from the vr and go to a file exlorer. rename the temp file in the download folder while downloading. When the download has finished rename to .apk and install it manually.
hope it helps.

Sorry, do not understand. What do you mean by "remove the note from the vr"? Where are downloaded apk's are located ?

Not sure how you start the download - oculus app or with vr on your head.
However once the download has started use a file explorer like ES, go to /download/oculus_downloaded_apks/.
There is the temp file. During the download you can rename this file so it will not be deleted automatically when the download has finshed (if installation fails).
install the .apk manually. At least it works for me...

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

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

............................ *face-palm*
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....

Hidden files somewhere...

I have a Note 9 Exynos dual sim, stock Android 9.
I used a new video software and recorded something important that saves into folder /storage/emulated/150/video
I can not find this file anywhere, possibly because I am not rooted? The adb pull command doesn't work either.
I can see and play the file from the apps internal gallery but that is it....I can't upload to onedrive or transfer to PC.
What needs to be done to get this file from my phone to PC?
Thank you for your help.

go into your file manager and move it to another folder or your external SD card. If you can move it internally, you should be able to view it from your PC and therefore transfer it. If you cant move it internally (cant imagine why you wouldnt be able to) then youre hosed. But that sounds like a unicorn situation.

Thanks but I cannot see it in any file manager I have checked so far. I only see it in the Apps own gallery...

Is the app a secret too?

It's called Quick Video Recorder. It's great for one button instant record function... But it isn't great if you want your videos off your phone it seems ?

Can I root safely without losing my data? From what I've read online rooting removes knox encryption and Samsung Pay and this can't be reversed... Is that correct?

SOLVED!
I solved this by putting the file manager app into the secure folder where the app is located. Then I could navigate to it. Makes sense really.
