[Q] Need help reinstalling stock Twitter app

Okay, I rooted my N1 with Universal Androot and removed the stock Froyo Twitter app without backing it up. (Shame on me.) Now, I can't update to 2.2.1 because of it (a status 7 error complaining about not finding /system/app/Twitter.apk)
I have, at the advice of some other forum posts I've read, installed Twitter from Android Market and backed it up to the sd. Renamed it Twitter.apk and used the Terminal Emulator to copy it to /system/app. That worked and the file is there, but the update still will not apply. Do I also need a .odex file? Is there any way to update at this point?
Any help would be super appreciated. THANKS!

if this is the new twitter app would you be kindly enough to share it..lol

grab it from an older update like from frf91 update.. then do adb push /system/app
if you cant do that...
put the twitter app in sdcard then go to terminal and do
cp /sdcard/twitter /system/app
reboot then apply it.. i had trouble with amazon and i did it that way and it worked well

That's exactly what I did. It didn't work.
I'd love to pull the app from a FRF91 build but I have no idea how that's done.

It looks as though I can't flash the GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader and installing a new recovery, correct? I'm really not that motivated if that's the case. I appreciate the information.

OK, just download the GAPPS, then use something like estrongs file manager to unzip to a folder of choice (with estrongs, longpress and select extract).
The Twitter apk will be in the extract folder/system/app. Just click the apk to install...

BTW, if you have root, you may as well install a custom recovery (without touching the bootloader).
Easy way with ROM Manager (has Clockworkmod and Amon-Ra), or use adb if you wanna learn something...

Thanks for the tips. I'll check it out tomorrow when I can make a data transfer. I am doubtful that installing from the zip will solve much since I already loaded the app and its already in the system folder.
could someone verify whether or not the Twitter app has a corresponding odex file that I might need?

I ran into the same problem when I removed Amazon Mp3, but I was impatient so I ended up reflashing the stock rom and then updating.

There is a thread that has all n1 updates look for it and download froyo fr91 update then unzip it go to system app and look for twitter apk then put in sdcard and do commands again .. I tried to do with market twitter and it failed so I did it the way I'm explained andnworkd

You sir, have saved my life. I swear I used that same exact Twitter.apk but I must not have. I used 3 different apks all with the same result but the one in the zip I found somewhere in this forum worked perfectly. I appreciate all the help and feel like such a 'tard for not trying something so seemingly simple earlier.

USA 1.141.07 update fix with. .img's

Crsdr37 said:
Alright Guys in the USA. I will be posting the .img files to fix your device or update your device to 1.141.07 if you have either used the chinese update fix or some other various fix that left you with a different boot image. The instructions are simple.
1. Connect your tablet to the computer via USB. Put the boot.img and the system.img on your SD Card. Also put the Update.zip then use a file explorer to move the update.zip to the root of your SD card. Which is external SD. If you use Astro. (Alternatively you can just take your SD card out and put it in your computer to put the update.zip.)
2. You need to first push the boot.img
-Open ADB type su then hit enter. (your device will prompt for superuser you must select allow) Then enter the command below.
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (hit Enter)
3. Then push the system.img
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
4. Force shutdown your device when those finish (as your screen may not turn on.)Then hold volume - and the power button "until the green android comes up very important do not let them go just because the device turns on" to start the update.zip. Let it finish (Your device will reboot when it completes.
5. Enjoy the fact your device is back to stock and you can now update when future updates release.
To push the files you will need adb shell. If you dont know what that is look it up, It is part of the android development kit. Second these 2 commands will push the files to their proper mount block. You must push the boot.img first then the system.img These files are for the USA update 1.141.07

http://www.mediafire.com/?3qahjh3twi6jc9t -Boot.img -MD5-4477d6739dd1e3b3ba1dbf94be7fe8f0
Here are 2 Mirrors To download the boot.img you will need to download both as the uploader made it a 2 part file making it easier for some countries to download. Give thanks yo ardatdat if these came in handy.

** Alright guys I am just posting this link for when you just do the update.zip because you are already on 1.104.05_COM_GEN1 and you have a different kernel then the update.zip, What will happen is when you reboot the tablet from just doing the update.zip you may have WIFI error. These files should resolve that issue. Once again they are only if you have WIFI Error on reboot. To install these you will need some type of file explorer that has rw access to the file system. I rec. Root Explorer. To install these follow these instructions.
1. Copy both modules to your SD card does not matter where.
2. With your File Explorer/Manager Copy both of these files. (Root Explorer will let you multi-select if you hit the menu button.)
3. Navigate to System/Lib/Modules.
4. **This step is very important- You must Mount your System for RW access. If you don't they will not copy. Once you have RW just hit the paste button and then reboot your device.
5. **This step is for anyone still having wifi error after reboot. (Stop being lazy lol and just do all the steps. From the top by mounting the boot.img and system.img that way your device is 100% stock there for no checksum issues.

thanks so much for this. to verify my build number is 1.141.07_COM_GEN1 is that right?

Success! This worked like a charm! I didn't have to use the recovery img I just used the update.zip.
After update:
Kernel: g9b3ce2b

Good work and thanks!
edit: Actually I guess I do have one issue right now. After the update my wifi stopped working. When I go to the wifi settings I see "Error" under Wi-Fi and the check box is grayed out so that it can't be clicked. Any help?

Had a German 1.112 build i guess, bricked it and revocered it with Acer_A500_1.122.01_EMEA_GEN5. Used boot and system image and then updated and it really works!!! Thank you very very very much!!!
EDIT1: I even not lost my settings and can set the language to German too!!
EDIT2: Root gone (as expected), used Gingerbreak (tab version) and everything works fine.

well the only thing I can think of it either the lib modules for wifi are messed up in which case I can post a link with them or the kernel is different. I would use the 2 .img that I posted then use the update zip. That way the images replace your kernel which is always the root cause of wifi errors.

here is a link to the wifi lib modules. You need to use something like root explorer. To mount the system as rw. Then navigate to system/lib/modules and copy those two files into there with the system mounted as rw. Reboot and see if it fixes the issue!!

You get that only when do don't do all three'. Once you reboot after pushing the 2 images. You have to hold down the volume - and the power button it will then run the update zip to complete.

Cant get into recovery!!??

I have rom mgr premium installed and i have tried flashing from there although it says it has successfully when I get into bootloader its another story. I have tried terminal emulater, putting the pc36img.zip on my sd card and nothing seems to work. when in bootloader and it tries to install the pc36 zip it says wrong file or no image. I need some help here. Im running cm7.0.3.1 and it runs very smooth. But this recovery issue is on my last nerve! Help please......

OK, you just need a pc36img.zip recovery file. I say use Amon Ra.
Make sure it;s named PC36IMG.ZIP just like I wrote it.
Put it on the root of your SDCard, boot up, holding volume down and power button at the same time.
NOW it will find the pc36img file and flash your recovery.

It doesnt recognize the zip file! I have tried that several times and I keep getting the same response. No image or wrong image!!! I dont understand why!!!

Hey guy,,is your bootloader S-off?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Yes.... S-off

Try this,,,place your PC36IMG,zip on root of SD,,not in any folders,,then see if it will flash in hboot,,make sure it is named exactly as stated,,if using a Windows pc,,leave off the ,zip ext,,
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

root of sd?
I just want to be sure here.. I have root explorer on my phone. This is what I have been doing with the pc36img.zip file. I download from media fire with my phone, then I go into root explorer, click on SD card, download folder then I look for the zip I just downloaded. Then I copy the zip and paste it in a folder called root. Does that sound correct? Here is a screen shot(I hope)

Don't place in any folders,,,that's the mistake,,root explorer,download folder,copy pc36ing,hit back button 1 time,then paste,,boot into bootloader,hboot will find it,just follow onscreen instructions,,hope this helps,,
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I'm not seeing the boot folder??????

I see a folder called bootanims?? Is that it?

Dude, by ROOT FOLDER, that means not in ANY folders on your SDCard. Just put it on the card itself. The path needs to be /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip and the way I have it capitalized is how it MUST be.
Also, make sure with root explorer that it doesn't say PC36IMG.zip.zip

No,,go to the pc36img,,the one you downloaded,,copy,now hit back once,paste pc36img here,.now back out of root explorer,,,power phone off,,,hold volume down and hold power button till bootloader screen turns on,,it will find ing file and ask if you want to update,,volume up for yes,,let it flash,,then it will ask for reboot,,volume down for no,,press volume down 1 time,,then press power,,will now load into recovery

No. You merely need to rename / remove the install-recovery.sh script in /etc to prevent the stock recovery from writing at boot.

Yeah, restoring the file will then cause the stock recovery to be written upon reboot (if you want to go back to the stock recovery for some reason).

same but i solved it

select reboot into recovery manual

[Utility]KK4 Easy Root

I've seen a number of new captivate owners who seem to have issues obtaining root or CWM on their phones for the first time. I wrote this batch file to help them get over those first hurdles with a helping hand. I am not a programmer (as you can tell by my coding skills) but I hope this will help a few people out.
Requirements:
Captivate i897 device on Gingerbread
Working USB port
Working Power Button
Preview:
This batch file uses a menu to select the operation. For Root, it uses ADB commands to get a user to download mode and then launches and Odin 1-click to replace the Kernel with the Corn 7.0A Kernel. After flashing, it reboots the user to Recovery and walks them through installing Root from the Corn Kernel CWM options (requires a working power button!). After the user is done, it will take them back to the menu to return to the Stock Kernel if they wish. There are a few extra menu options thrown in for fun.
Instructions for use:
Turn on USB Debugging
Connect Phone
Extract contents of zip to a folder
Run Batch file
Follow on screen instructions
??????????????
Profit!

V1.0 - Original (Here goes nothing)

Here is an alternative file to just install the Corn 7.0A Kernel.

2. Run

And thank you for the files. They were the last piece I needed. I do need some real world testing on devices and computers other than mine to make sure I got all bugs worked out.

Took a look at the code, and this looks like it's going to be a handy piece of software for people who just need to do some common commands and don't want to wade through a lot of additional steps.
Well done.

Thanks. That was my idea. I've noticed many of the questions resolve around the simple tasks. By allowing a menu-driven batch file to take care of it, hopefully the users won't have as many issues.
This will allow a stock KK4 user to get root and CWM which will help them start their flashing journey.

after using the utility my kernel version is CORNv70A is this correct?

Yep. That's the correct version. I wish I could get the file size lower but it's already zipped at Ultra compression. The two kernel files make up most of the size with the driver file making up the rest. I wanted to add in more files/options but it would have made the file even larger.

Can I use the tool as an updater for example im running corn kernel 7.03 and i want to upgrade to the latest corn kernel using your tool

The tool will only give you Corn 7.0A or the Stock KK4 Kernel.
If you want to update to 7.06 you will need to download the Odin or CWM package for that version.

What if Corn 7.03 to 7.0a?

Yes. It will work just fine for 7.03.
You'll need to select the Root option which will install the 7.0A Kernel, but not actually follow any of the steps for adding root.
Select Root Option
Let it boot to download mode
Install it via Odin 1-click that script launched
Hit Ctrl+C to break out of script
You don't need the script to put you back into recovery which is why you break out.
Alternative Method:
Unzip downloaded file
Go to EXE Folder
Put phone into download mode
Run KK4_Root.exe
The ADB command to put your phone in download mode is: adb reboot download
Just open a command prompt to the downloaded/unzipped tools folder and type the above command with your phone plugged in.
Alternative #2
I added a new batch file to Post #3 to do just what you are asking.
