Hi,
I've got problem after updating my X10 into R2B020. I found my simtoolkit was disappeared. Oh yes, my playnow was disappeared too. Does anyone know how to get them back? Especially the sim toolkit.
Thanks.

few issues
Are u using a home replacement app? i know a couple like Panda that can hide certain apps?
if your rooted, it may just be a accidental change of one true/false value
but all i can say for sure is to REINSTALL the OS, back everything up and start again
are u using your origional rom?
Yes, I use original rom. Previously I updated the firmwire through SEUS but suddenly my sim toolkit disappeared.
I didn't use any home replacement. I had shortcut to sim toolkit in home screen but now the shortcut is not working anymore.
Any suggestion how to bring it back?

And my question is can I remove this stupid SIM Toolkit without any damage to the phones functionality ? Because I dont use it and want it gone.
Tnx

I thought you can't remove STK unless your phone is rooted. Have you tried to update into R2BA020? Mine is gone.. but I want it back since it has phone banking service.
Mine is rooted but I didnt have courage to remove it since Ive had major issues when I have removed GTalk...
Just make backup first than remove it. You may use andro to make backup. If your phone is not working Perfectly, than you can restore.
Still curious how to get sim tool kit back.

Is backup in Titanium Backup ok ?

i managed to get the play now back. but the STK, sorry cant do as of now.
here is how:
1. download OI Manager apps from market
2. once install, open the apps and look for the folder called "system" then "app"
3. look for the file name called "playnowarena.apk" and "playnowarena_updater.apk" and install them.
4. Your play now should now back to your file list.
note: the STK.apk is in the folder too, but it give an error message "cannot install in this phone." so i guess there is a program or bug that SE wrote this build number and caused the STK and play now app from installing when doing the update.
Thanks for advice. But somehow it didn't work for me.
I installed IO file manager then I went to /system/apps but can't find playnowarena.stk and playnowarena_updater.stk. If I used astro, then those 2 stk are there.
I've contacted sony ericsson support regarding this issue but no respond yet.

i think you need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list. this is where i found it.
Yes, you're right... I found it in the bottom of the list and able to restore playnow. Thanks much
So now, how to restore the sim toolkit.. *confuse*

Hi,
A newbie here in Australia with an unlocked Vodafone x10i (now on Three network). Have had this phone for about three weeks with no problem (and loving it).
Have not rooted it but installed some file manager type app from marketplace (i forget the name) this afternoon and it hung immediately.
Rebooting gets through the boot animation and 'activating phone' dialog then it starts rebooting again!
I've tried booting up in safe mode - no good. Same problem.
Tried booting without SD + SIM combinations. No good.
Any ideas (I've surfed 35 of the last 50-odd forum pages and just got tired...)
Thanks
The obvious would be to try and repair through SEUS (availible on SE.com) but you'll loose everyrhing installed on it :-\ i guess you already concidered this. Hope you find a solution!

Thanks! SE Support pretty much said the same. Downloaded SEUS and updated. Seemed to fix the corrupted system file. Didn't lose any data

Is your phone 'branded'? I've been trying to find a generic Australia ROM for a while now ):

Anyone know how to delete the Serve.me app that came reinstalled on the phone? I used Titainium Backup to uninstall it but it doesn't work.
Never heard of it. Is your phone rooted?
It's rooted. The Serve.Me app is in French. I found a Youtube video testing the app but I can't post external link. Just search for "Serve.Me John Paul" if you're interested.

I have never heard of this, however it could suggest that the phone is branded, perhaps debrand to get rid. I had an app called traffic tv that i just couldnt get rid of, once i debranded it disappeared no problem. It also means that the delayed 2.1 update will be available before your operator adds their "features"

With RootExplorer have a look in data/app-private and if there is an apk in there of it delete that too, and from data/app also.

I believe that app is installed in the generic french firmware.
I got rid of it by replacing the generic french firmware with uk generic.
How do I find out if my phone is branded and for what market? Sorry for the newbie question. I'm new to this forum.

Where did you get it from.
At a local store here in the US. I was told it's an oversea phone but didn't mention where.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
with the lock screen visible.. press the following key combo..
Menu back back menu Back Menu menu back
This will give you a service menu... select "service info" then "Model info"
That will tell you the phone model, country, and brand.
Thanks. It states country is France and brand customized FR.
So i guess that mean its branded?
Is there a customized firmware for north america? I saw the debrand thread but there are too many files.
Not sure which to get.

EDIT: i think i figured out why my Samsung Apps app does not work, i recently installed Media Hub from an AT&T tab thread and i had to change some build.prop files in order for it to work. Now i am looking for a working Media Hub app for my T-Mobile tab.

Well i had some probs as well. Changed the /system/csc/sales_code.dat==> to VDF.
Build.prop:
ro.product.locale.language=nl
ro.product.locale.region=NL
That gave me full acces to Samsung Apps en Media-Hub widget
I asked samsungapps directly about this problem and was told that samsungapps was not supported on the Galaxy Tab. Strange that it downloads the Tabs 4 main apps from samsungapps when you first start using the Tab but then nothing. I put the same SIM in my phone and samsungapps went fine. It is just blocked on the Tab. Kies told me the same thing.
That is it in Thailand anyway, it may be a different story in other countries but I know samsungapps doesn't work in Laos which is a short swim away over the Mekong.
It is a bit like google market, technically only available in certain countries.

i really could not tell you what the differences are but all i can tell you is that i got the build.prop from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909058
it sates to use this build.prop to work with the Media Hub.
well actually what i can remember is that my original build.prop has the devise name as GT-P100 (from Euro firmware)
and the region as GB
and the build.prop i used from the thread had the devise name as SGH-I987 (from At&T)
and region as US
now on the back of my tab it reads as devise being SGH-T849 (from T-Mobile)
i couldnt tell you any other differences between the two that would make my Samsung Apps app stop from working.
sorry cant really get a screen capture.......
Anybody got issues with latest update 4.4.2 for AT&T I337 mobile?
Please post here issues you are facing with latest update.
Thanks!!
None of my end so far. I just updated it last night around 1am EST. Been running since then perfectly fine. The phone is noticeably faster than before and has a quicker response time as well.
After the update the only thing I did have to do extra was reinstall SwiftKey. Any programs that I had that were in a paid status had to be reinstalled. Non-paid apps stayed with no issue.

Restoring with ODIN worked great, must have been trying with the wrong ROM. Now just wish we could root this one and have a variant of the 4.4 that did not have all the bloatware. Don't need all the Samsung and AT&T apps.

Hmm, not sure. I just tested it with my phone. Moved files to the SD, Renamed, Modified, etc... No issues. I tried with the Explorer that came with my phone as well as two file explorers that I tested out from the Play Store. Seems to be working fine for myself. Not sure why it's not working for you.

Overall Ifind the update made my phone much snappier and the data seems faster but speedtest has it the same. The illusion must be from the phone being snappier. I disable new bloatware Beats Music.
I wanted to try ART but it appears Samsung has chosen not to include it.I'm hoping the pieces are still there and it can be enabled once root is obtained.
I have not had any SD Card issues but if I do I assume it may be something that can be worked around with root. So looking for a root method, I am.

It is supposed to work with the built-in file manager, but not with third party apps. Can you tell me which file explorers (beside the built in) lets you rename files on the external SD? I have tried several and that all fail (except the built in one).
It works fine.

If you've tried a few of those types of apps with root and can't find it, it may have already been written over. Unless you can find a tool for PC that would run on your external SD card (assuming that's where it was saved), the only other option would be to find a data recovery company and you would have to give up your phone/sdcard for a few weeks which tends to cost upwards of $2000 with no guarantee of recovery.
