Hi All,
The 1.13.604 update is failing for me and I will be the first to say its no ones fault but my own. After rooting my phone I used Titanium Backup to backup all programs and program data. Titanium made it look like everything went ok.
Then I used Titanium's uninstall feature to remove the following "bloatware":
Amazon MP3 1.7.22
City ID
Voice Search 1.4.0
NFS Shift 1.0
3G Mobile Hotspot 2.1-update1
Voicemail 1.0
Voice Commands
Skype Mobile 1.0.0.9
My Verizon 4.0
This morning I read that the 1.13.604 update can still be rooted so I tired to install it and it failed on me. Then I went back to titanium and attempted to restore the apps I removed and they all fail for some reason(I dont think it backed them up correctly). I have checked off "unknown sources" under applications. If someone could please post the APK files associated with these apps and list their respective install locations they would be my personal hero
Thanks in advance,
jvward
Update:
I have managed to get the following APKs:
Amazon MP3 1.7.22
Voice Search 1.4.0
Voicemail 1.0 - (this one is a maybe)
Voice Commands
My Verizon 4.0
I am using a Droid x dump to get them but if anyone knows the name of the 3G Mobile Hotspot 2.1-update1 apk or has a copy of it my spider sense tells me this is most likely the issue.
Thanks!

Sorry that I am of no help here, as I don't have the apk that u need. However, would u be kind enough to post how your situation turns out? I am curious. Thanks
Quick Question
Is there anyway to run logging while the update applies so I can see exactly what is failing. As of this point I have everything put back in its original location accept for the NFS shift Apk since I cant find it online. I am not sure if this is causing the error or something else. Is there a way through ADB I can see the progress of the update and what is not working
Try un-rooting then apply the update. Then re-root. Root does work with the 604 update (as I updated then rooted).

I believe 3G Mobile Hotspot 2.1-update1 is Mynet.apk. Please keep us posted on your results. I've rooted and I'm already at .604, but it's nice to hear that updates succeed.
May I ask which tool you are using to root? Also, do you unroot using that same tool?
how is it goin' guys?
so I was at the states and I got Vibrant from there, I unlocked it and got back to Jordan...
Is there a way I can free my mobile from Tmobile? means I can reinstall Android as its not based on Tmobile network? after all Im sick of all the Tmobile applications I have that are useless here plus I cant delete them!!
another thing: I'm looking for arabic support, any ideas?
Thanks,

as far as getting rid of t-mobile stuff, you can remove any of it you dont like using ADB or a file browser with root access (I use root explorer but its a paid app)
all the system apps are located under system/app
you can just delete what you dont like
or you can flash a new rom, most have alot of it removed already.
(exept for the stock roms and the leaked stock roms of course.)
I've just tried to unistall the applications through system/app but still I can see them in my appplication list, there are a lot of applications in my mobile that I've never used or even dont know how it works!!
can you explain that to me more,
Thanx

**You must be rooted for most of these methods to work** (I'm not sure about ADB, I've never tryed it unrooted)
These are apps that you cant delete using normal methods or the file manager that comes with the vibrant.
you'll need either ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or a file manager with root access.
ADB is definitly the more technical of the two options, but its also free.
the other option is much easier, you might try Android Mate, I've never used it but it is free on the market.
I personaly use root explorer but its not free.
You will have to be rooted for this method to work.
just open the file manager and browse to the system/app folder and delete what you need to. (in root explorer make sure you have enables read/write access on the top right corner)
the last option is also a bit technical but not too bad.
download a terminal emulator from the market.
open terminal emulator
type:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -r /system/app/[appname].apk
you must know the apk name for that method.
and remove both the .apk file and the .odex file (if there is one)
(Or find someone that does know it)
heres a list of some that can be removed without breaking anything written by s15274n (you can view his guide here:
AccountAndSync.apk/odex -> The app in the drawer, not the settings.
AddToHome.apk/odex
AudioPostcard.apk/odex
Avatar.apk/odex -> The app that launches Avatar in the video player.
BuddiesNow.apk/odex
Dlna.apk/odex [Allshare]
FlashPlugin.apk/odex
GoGo.apk/odex
Infoalarm.apk/odex [Daily Briefing]
KindleStub.apk/odex
Layer-samsung.apk/odex
MediaHub.apk/odex
Memo.apk/odex
Mini Diary.apk/odex
MobiTV.apk/odex
MyAccountStub_4-5-10.apk/odex
Myfiles.apk/odex
Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk/odex
slackerradio.apk/odex
Swype-Tips.apk/odex
Telenav.apk/odex
thinkdroid.apk/odex [ThinkFree Office]
vvm-signed.apk/odex -> T-Mobile Visual Voicemail [can be re-downloaded from the market. for some reason that version is the preferred one.]
VoiceRecorder.apk/odex
VoceDialer.apk/odex
Writeandgo.apk/odex
TouchwizWidgets:
Day.apk/odex
DualClock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Calenderclock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Feedandupdate.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_stockclock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Weatherclock.apk/odex
I noticed in the title that you would like Froyo?
if so you could just flash a froyo rom and they usualy have most of the t-mobile stuff removed already.
you might try this one AXURA
thats developed by an active member of xda which is nice.
Or this one: Macnut R13
that one is built from i9000 source.
theres a few others as well you can find them in the vibrant android development section
as I stated before read this (written by s15274n )
if your not rooted yet and need help getting there, its a great guide that has pretty much anything you could want to know getting started with this phone.
Thanx!
Thank you very much for the help, you gave me good options to think about..
I have a good question: Is there a way that I can use instead of installing a ROM, to "format" my mobile and install a total new version of Android, maybe something like the new Nexus S Gingerbread and benefit from the Google pure experience instead of waiting for Samsung to develop the Froyo for my mobile?
Again, Thanx a million!
Saif,
hi,
i brought a HTC DHD from london (Virgin, unlocked) a couple of weeks ago, and im in sudan...and as you've probably guessed, the Android Market is blocked here. The app opens and says "loading" then it closes (goes back to the 'All Apps' menu).
i want to download from the market, and everywhere i go, people tell me to 'root', obviously im new to this concept.
i've read some threads here on this website, but it looks like its a long process, and the "IF ANYTHING HAPPENS ITS NOT OUR FAULT" warning scares me badly.
i want a way to access the market without rooting.
and if there isnt, and rooting is the only way, then what exactly is rooting?
will the way everything works change?
will all my installed apps get deleted?
is the interface different? ( no HTC SENSE?)
and when 2.3 comes out, what do i have to do to upgrade?
NOTE:::
android version -> 2.2.1
baseband version -> 12.2xx...
software number 1.7xxxx
can anyone help?
1. your friends ask you to root is to enable you to use 2 important apps, a. Market enabler, and b. Market enabler codes. Both apps are available in Android market but requires you to root.
2. Rooting, its a process hacking your phone to gain the superuser access where it is not available on stock ROM ( ROM in a sense is the operating software for DHD).
3. Rooting does not remove installed apps. It only 'unlocks' the phone.
4. Rooting enables you to switch ROMs (exp, Android Revolution HD, Cynogen, LeeDroid..). Each ROM offers difference experience in user interface and performance (processing speed aonpd battery life). Users usually find which suits them best and difference regions have different performance albeit similar ROM+kernal+radio (to devs, correct me if I'm wrong here). Some ROM state 'no sense' included which means no HTC Sense is included.
check your email address/ account is correct it stopped my other halfs accessing the market until i changed it.
So now I've rooted my phone successfully and I downloaded market access and market enabler.
But still, I can't open the market.
Is it because my sim card is in the phone?
The main reason for me rooting was to open the market, but I still can't
Alright. From the copy any sim codes of your choosing from market enabler codes, then past.the codes into the market enabler app. Hit apply. Then access the market. You should be alright.
Just download Applanet and use that. Its got tons of free and paid apps and no regional restrictions.

Uninstall it and reinstall the new apk from the site (it will not just update version from the phone)
Oppps, I double posted.
k, i'll try, and tell you what happens
Hello everybody,
I have recently bought a motorola Defy+ (MB526) with Android 2.3.6.
There are lots of motorola's stuff that I didn't want it so I made some cleaning with titanium backup (with root acces).
I didn't install any other app's on the phone.
Then now, I get a "com.motorola.contacts" stopped unexpectedly error(force close prompt) after trying to view a contact.
I can look through all of the dialer menus showing contacts and recent calls but I can't view a specific contact in detail.
Perhaps I uninstalled some important apps so I went on this forum and I found some solutions by copying the original files (lots of people says it comes from "YahooContacts.apk", "YahooContacts.odex", "blur_yahoo.apk" and "blur_yahoo.odex) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16998796&postcount=5
And this one with more files which can be used by the contact apps :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17476858&postcount=14
I tried all those solutions and it didn't work for me. I think because those files are made for motorola Droid (Android 2.3.4 whereas I have Android 2.3.6).
I put them in the file (/system/app) made all permission but I can't install them and the contact problem is still on.
Does anybody have a backup of those files for this kind of device and android version?
Thank you.
Hello
Please bear with me if this is a stupid question and kindly point me to the relavant thread.
I'm living in China and can only buy those crippled Android devices here (No Google, no PlayStore, no DropBox, to much ....)
However, I need to replace my M7 and don't want to fly to Europa just to buy new phone. Will the following work?
- Buy a new M9+ HTCM9PT(M9+) here in China
- Change CID for example to HTC__102
- Flash Stock ROM (Can someone point me to one if above will work please?)
Important is that I will end-up with a stock firmware and that OTA will work in the future.

My friend. I've bought my M9+ in China. if you just want to install the Google Package on this mobile, it is quite simple. No need even to root, you won't avoid your warranty. Is that what you want to do? It looks you just want to have the Google Package.

Thanks for your answer. Did the this with another HTC phone. Unfortunately its not the same at all. Even if you install PlayStore and later other missing apps a lot of servies won't let you store information on DropBox (like HTC Backup for example) but only in Baidu cloud. I couldn't even restore my backups from DropBox because it was, even when installed, was not selectable. At the end the system still is a crippled Android but with a Google PlayStore. BlinkFeed was missing features, Camera Upload always had issues, ...
Thus, my only chance is to either replace completely or buy a phone in europe/HKK directly.

My friend you can do all as well. I did in my M9+ as I told you... please check this way on youtube, it describes the fast way and very very easy.

It really works as well. Go ahead Sr...

I will try to change CID first. Anyone can point me to correct EUR FW for HTC9PW?
I finally found some time over the weekend. Firstly, just installing PlayStore and later other apps does not make the phone in any way similar to a real Android phone bought elsewhere
DropBox, even if installed and connected, can't be selected to restore HTC backups
Error messages in this round grey overlay box will, no matter which language you select, be in Chinese
A lot of APPs will think you're Chinese because the phone is originally a Chinese phone
Some of the APPs can't be disabled
If you swipe over the HTC Logo there will be a program called "Hidi" or "Heidi" started and not Google. The voice recognition of this program is rather bad. My Chinese friends and me had a lot of fun with it
I therefore decided to invest the 25USD and go the real way. I, S-OFF, changed CID and installed 1.8 EUR version which, after putting S-On again, now runs very good since a couple of days. OTA update to 1.9 worked perfectly!
Thanks to all for their suggestions!
