Just back up with titanium backup and flash back to a clean 1.26. The webtop mod might have left something behind even if you think you removed it.

i went to try and run the "restore missing apps +all system data" and it listed the "news and weather" apps i deleted along with
Dockprovider
mobile desktop
motorola dock service
all which i never deleted!
is this something i screwed up by not doing the webtop uninstall correctly?
also when i run the batch is says its finished almost instantly....except it didnt do anything! and when i find it in the list the "restore" option isnt there. i KNOW i backed them up too. it says 1 backup available but wont do it.
and no roms or deodoxing(dont even know what it means)

originally when i copied all those files into the system/apps folder it gave me the correct errors and i restarted by holding the power button. just like it says.
i recopied the files thinking maybe i did something wrong, nothing happened this time. i can locate the .apk files in the app folder. and they are all not installed. when i click it and select "install", it says "application not installed'
what am i missing?
also noticed platform lib client is uninstalled and wont install...dont know if related

now ive even tried using the webtopbackup files from the undo thread and putting those into the folder, but still they wont "install"
please help!!

I'm having the exact same problem. No luck yet. I think Im going to flash back to sbf.

I'm pretty certain it has to do with deleting apps from the system partition. Anyone know how to fix this? Reinstall apps?

Honestly, you should just save yourself the headache and SBF to 1.2.6, Then update to 1.5.7 from there. If you have anything important to back up, just do that first.

Ok ok. An I gibbs have to re install all my apps?

I remember something like if you use SBF, flash counter goes up and your warranty is voided, is this true?

I don't recall reading anything about that. The 1.2.6 flash is the official stock build that shipped with the AT&T version of the Atrix, so in the absolute worst case scenario, say you don't know anything about it. Ignorance is bliss after all. Also, since we do have the sbf as a recovery, warranty would only be necessary if something in the hardware were to go wrong.

Android Market: instant 'Download unsuccessful' message

Hi everyone,
I'm positing because I have a peculiar issue. I cannot download from the Android Market....and I have tried the solutions on the internet from clearing data/cache to trying to sync my google account in different ways...
Here is the background:
- Bought used Vibrant on craigslist
- rooted, unlocked, then unrooted, then hard reset
- no external SD card
After every hard reset, in two instances now, I have been able to download from Android market SUCCESFULLY for about a ~30 min window. After this time window, any download from Market does NOT work, and after clicking 'Install' immediately goes to the red triangle status 'Download unsuccessful.'
At all times, my internet still works fine, both on 2G/3G/wifi.
Android market website does NOT show my device (is this because the device only works with the very first sync when the phone was purchased??)
Something is locking me out from downloading. It's come to such a stupid workaround that since I know Market WILL work after a hard reset, I do a mass download of my app essentials in the ~30 minutes that I have.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Clear market cache
also, setting proper permissions on /data/ and /data/app might help (with a program like root explorer)

Do you use titanium backup? Restoring any setting? I got similar problem when I freeze "media container" in titanium backup.

Had this problem when z4mod was setting incorrect permissions on /system partition

All,
To avoid the issues with any roms/rooting, I unrooted the phone, as stated in the first post.
I basically got the phone back to 'stock' settings, and I have this issue. Any additional help would be great...this is my first experience with Android and it has only been headaches....
getting nostalgic with my old E71. haha

So, did you use odin to go to jfd?
I'm really interested and willing to help, just santo make sure I understand everything that you've done.
How did you root?
Why no external?

How to delete unwanted spam?!!

hey...
i have international rooted gs2..
every time after i install an app, the same spam wanting me to download some netqin virus security keeps coming up!
any suggestions or instructions on how to remove this?
help will be greatly appreciated.

Try to figure out what program you installed right before this happened, then install titanium backup and remove it.

That would be this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nqmobile.antivirus20&hl=en
Either uninstall anything that mentions it from settings -> Applications -> Manage, or flash a custom firmware that isn't full of bloatware.
If you've installed an app called "Android Booster" from the same company, then that might be the culprit.
It might be any of these apps too:
https://market.android.com/developer?pub=NetQin+Mobile+Inc.
Googling "android netqin" turned all this up.

[Q] MN5 success, except for Market access

Following GMPOWER's instructions (LINK), I used ClockWorkMod 3.2.0.1 and manualnooter-5.08.20.basic.block_updates.zip to successfully root my Nook Color. (It's an original, non-blue-dot model which I wiped clean, re-registered and updated to 1.4.3 before rooting.) After rooting, I had a problem with accessing the Market app, but I gained access by following the "Market has limited visibility" solution in GMPOWER's OP. The Market app updated itself to the Play Store, and everything's working great. So far, so good, and thanks to GMPOWER!
I then executed the same process on my son's Nook Color, which I also wiped clean, etc. (It's also a non-blue-dot.) The root process worked, and everything went the same, except that I can't get access to the Market. I've gone through the "Market has limited visibility" solution multiple times, but always get the "An error has occurred. Please try again later." error message. I've gone through 3 cycles of completely wiping the device, reloading to 1.4.3, and rerooting, but without success. Except for access to the Market, it's running fine - that is, I have access to all of his books and apps in the B&N garden, I can run other apps from the drawer, and I can install new apps from B&N's app store. Just can't get it to run the Market. Any suggestions?
Noob apologies if I haven't provided enough information to address the question.

Hopefully this will get you going again.
Choose "Manage Applications" from the NookColor Tools app
Select the "All" tab
Scroll down to "Market" and select it
Tap "Force stop"
Tap "Clear data"
Tap the back button
Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it
Tap "Force stop"
Tap "Clear data"
Reboot the device
Once started backup, open the "Market" app
Most likely you will see the same problem
Choose "Manage Application" from the NookColor Tools app
Select the "All" tab
Scroll down to "Market" and select it
Tap "Force stop"
Exit back to the launcher
Open the "Market" app again, and this time it should work
Did you happen to update to the 1.4.3 firmware through CWM, or using the stock update process? Throughout the hundreds of times that I have flashed the stock firmware, most all of the market issues have happened while flashing the stock firmware from CWM. One of the best ways to get back to the stock firmware, is to follow the 8 failed boot process, then download the most current B&N firmware from B&N, rename the file to "update.zip," place in the root of the media partition, and turn the screen off.

Just for my two cents worth of experience...
If you've lost the 8 failed boots for whatever reason, you're better off flashing back to an older stock firmware and then doing the update from B&N to the latest...

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately I haven't made any progress. I've been resetting to stock firmware using the 8 failed boot process, and I've been using the stock 1.4.3 update (not CWM) to bring it current before running MN5. I have also been erasing and deregistering the device from settings before resetting to stock. I've gone through the whole process at least 5 more times since your post, always with the same result. After successfully completing the MN5 installation, I enter the Market app and follow the prompt to link the device to my son's Google account (which reports success), and then when I continue to where I would accept TOS, it gives me the error box. Following the procedure you posted doesn't get me past the error.
By the way, I started out using the same SD card that I used to successfully root my own device. The last time I went through the process to root my son's, I reformatted the card and rewrote it (using Win32DiskImager with the card in my laptop's slot) with freshly downloaded copies of CWM 3.2.0.1 and manualnooter-5.08.20.basic.block_updates.zip. No difference.
Sorry to be a pain - any other ideas? Thanks again for any help you can offer.

It's no pain, I would also like to find out what is causing the problem just in case it come up again in the future. Every time that I have experienced the problem that you are describing, that method has worked to fix it. Download this modified version on MN, and give it a try, LINK. I updated the market version in it try to get past that step, and also included an app called "Market Device Info." Sorry, I hosted it on mediafire, not my googlecode account just so people wont be downloading it, and trying to use it.
Once you have signed into the market, if it fails, open the app "Market Device Info," and check to see that you have a registered androidid. If this version of MN fails again on you, I will attempt to reproduce the problem on my device tomorrow to try to find a fix for you.

That did the trick, thanks! I wiped and reset to stock again, manually updated to 1.4.3, then ran the modified MN5 you provided. After the root completed, I opened the Play Store app, linked to my son's Google account, and it then prompted me to accept TOS with no errors. I've installed a couple of apps, and the only thing I had to do was untick and retick "Allow Non-Market Apps" to convince one of the apps to install. Everything seems to be working great now, thanks again!!

Please pardon this stupid question but I have tried to find a clear answer b4 coming to this thread. I am attempting to root my NC 1.4.3 w/ the Mannoot 5.08.20 and CWM 3.2.01 per the instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
The two questions remain are:
1) You must do a complete wipe before installing this package.
What constitutes a complete wipe
2) YOU MUST DOWNLOAD ALL YOUR B&N CONTENT BEFORE YOU CONTINUE,
Is this archive, to a SD or just download books from Library marked New?
Sorry to be a pain but If I screw this up... I'll never hear the end of it from my 'loving' wife..
TIA

1. There's a good description of how to do a complete wipe at http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM.
2. When I rooted my NC and my son's, I first downloaded all books, magazines and BN apps that weren't marked as archived with BN. In other words, there wasn't any BN content in my library with a "download" link attached to it. That's my interpretation of GMPOWER's instructions, and you should take what I say with a grain of salt, but I haven't had any trouble with accessing content after rooting.

I think I'm having a similar problem. I used MN 5.08.20 to root from 1.4.3. Everything rooted fine but whenever I try download an app from the market I get an insufficient memory error. I have tried all of the market corrections stated above. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Use CWM on an SD to wipe cache. Play store uses cache to temporarily store downloaded apps. It may be full.
Edit: I did a little research and Play Store temporarily stores the downloaded file to /data/data/com.android.providers.download/cache as download.apk, download-1.apk, etc. And it installs it to /data/app. So if you somehow have problems with that download location it will say not enough room.

How to manually update a Redmi note 7 without root

Hi everyone, I've had this Redmi note 7 for a couple of years now. In the last few months its software started behaving erratically:
- Settings app doesn't work anymore, it gets stuck as soon as you open it
- No google apps work besides Google chrome (play store even lists possible app updates as: (, , , , , , , , )
- Keyboard doesn't open
- 3/4 of the installed apps behave like settings does
- Connecting it to a PC doesn't allow you to access the phone memory if not through adb
- Every x minutes a message pops up saying that "The security app is not responding"
Because of the points listed above, it became impossible for me to update the OS from settings and try to fix this whatever is happening. After looking online for a bit I found a guide that basically had this steps:
- Download the update.zip from xiaomi website (Done)
- Move the zip file to the root folder of the phone
- Restart the phone and enter recovery mode
- Select the options "Update from update.zip" or something similar
The problem I have with step 2 is that whenever I try to move the zip, it denies permission. Trying to get in as root throws "disabled in production build" error (I guess because the phone is not rooted).
Is there any way to recover this crippled phone? Has any of you ever witnessed anything similar to what is happening to it? Is there a way to update the OS without using apps/settings or root?
If you need additional info just ask and I'll provide.
