Root Manager Deleted Market.apk!

Alright, so I have a rooted Vibrant on stock ROM. I used Root Manager to delete the bloatware on the phone. Worked great. However, when I used the delete data function, it took out all my apps including market.apk! So I can't get Rom Manager from Kousch to run a Naidroid restore, and I can't get the phone to sync up with Odin in download mode. Is there an update packet I can use to install the stock (with root) ROM with the install packages function in recovery mode? Maybe Eugene373's ROM? Thanks for any ideas.

I pulled the vending.apk out of Eugenes stock Vibrant rom. Copy and paste the .apk back to /system/app.

There's a Vibrant dump floating around the development section. Just get all the missing APK/ODEXs you want back out of it and copy them to /system/app.

Update: Turns out I got impatient and tried the Odin method to flash my ROM. That was a BIG mistake, put my phone into a brick cycle where I could not get phone into recovery or finish an Odin flash. I took it back to a local T-Mobile store and a friend hooked me up with a swap out. I have the new phone rooted and running ClockWork Mod. Will probably not try the Odin route again. Way too risky. Mods can close this thread or keep it up as a warning for novice android fans. Thanks for the dump and spare apk. This will be helpful in the future.

Great job

I found another vending.apk, but I guess they are different because I wasnt able to find some apps with that market on my SGS Vibrant. After I used his .apk, problem solved.
MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT VENDING.APK (MARKET).

You need super manager, root explorer or astro file manager ...along those lines to see the folders
Sent from my Bionix V powered Vibrant

use root explorer (paid)
or
Astro File Manager (free)
put the .apk in sd card first though
then copy it over.
@guy who said ODIN is way to risky..
BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

[Q] Unroot, restore stock firmware on Tattoo WITHOUT working minUSB port

Hi!
The miniUSB port on my Tattoo broke, so before sending the phone back to get fixed I'd like to take it back to how it was when I bought it, but without having to connect it to the computer (because I can't)
I can copy files to the SD using an adapter, so is there an update.zip i can use to do this?
Thanks in advance for any answers,
David

Hi,
You should try this
Power Btn + Vol down =>HBOOT menu
with the CLICKIMG.ZIP on your SD root
I flash back mine tattoo with this method (no gold card needed)
Good luck

Thanks for your reply!
One last question: where did you find the clickimg.zip?

Is the rom.zip file which you can find if you run the RUU utility of your stock rom and go to your user's directory(before close the app). This file you must rename it to CLICIMG.zip and put it on sd card

GReat! Thanks for your help, it worked

[Q] anybody got jbed working in nand rom?

wifes desire (telstra rom) came with jbed installed, so i copied the three files needed for it, jbed.apk, odex and libjbedvm.so and pushed them via adb to my nand stock desire rom on the hd2. I can't get it to work, I can't even find the icon in the apps list. any other version found on the net like esmertec_jbed.apk , installed via adb crashes. Any one else had any luck getting it to work?
before you ask, yes i did install them to the correct directories (/system/app and /system/lib )

[Q] installing a custom ROM?

So i've been looking all over the development forum.. and i can't find any instructions to install a rom, the only so-called instructions i found was "Use xRecovery" herp derp.. =/
I have the "2.3.2 CM Legend 31 v0.3" one
I have everything working, Root explorer.. xrecovery.. BusyBox
absolutely everything, i tried extracting the cm7-0.3.rar and compressing it into an update.zip for it to work on xRecovery, but it still wont work.
The files inside the rom are: system.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5.
This is what it shows when i try to install it
-- Install from SD card...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing Update...
And then it quickly closes and goes back to the main menu..
Any help would be appreciated.

you need to follow these instructions-
1. Extract the downloaded ROM.
2. Ensure there are 4 files in a folder(name it as you wish, or you can simply take the extracted folder!).
3. Make a folder in your SD card with name "xrecovery"(without quotes)
4. Make a sub-folder "backup"(without quotes)
5. Place the folder in the backup folder( /sdcard/xrecovery/backup)
6. Boot into xRecovery.
7. Goto Backup and Restore.
8. Goto Restore.
9. There you will see your folder name.
10. Just select and press Yes.
Done!
Cheers!

why yes i did, EPIC FAIL.. lol
I assume im going to need to put my official ROM on the SD card again with a memory reader?
EDIT: Disregard that.. used flashtool to go back to 1.6, no problems now.

i installed 2.3.2 CM Legend 31 v0.3 and it works ok for me.
after a while, it says "Login to Google Talk failed, check if you have chat
available"
i know this is not the problem of this rom.
i google the message, and find other roms may have the same problem.
but this message is annoying.
dose anyone know the solution??
thank you for my bad english.

Can't install latest market

Hi there, i am using the Redux2 HD2 rom. And it still uses the old android market. And i woul'd like to update that one. So i downloaded the latest marktet .apk and tried to install it. However it does not install it. It jus't gives me: "Application not installed' . I've tried resetting and stopping the market. I've tested other .apk's. And i still have the same problem

you can't just install it, you need to manually replace the market application.
just flash the REVERT-TO-NEW-MARKET-V2-CWM.zip in CWM or take MarketUpdater.apk and vending.apk and place them in the /system/app/ folder on your phone.
Hope I have been of help..

for me just installing the .apk works because android replaces the old market app
