Restoring to out-of-box with verizon apps? - Xperia Play General

So, I deleted some of the apps I didn't think I would need with TB, like the verizon "Apps". I traded my friend for his Droid x2, and he wants to buy games for the Play. Is there ANY way to get the phone back to how it was out of the box?

Flash the stock R800x .ftf via flashtool... Here's a link even http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22377989&postcount=36

hmmm.... rooting?

just wanna ask, if i have rooted my device, does this mean i wont be able to receive updates from moto anymore?
i m looking for flashing it to the 1.5ghz rom, any suggestion if i shud do this?
Personally I would, but I've rooted every Android device I have owned so far.
You probably won't be able to install the Motorola update, but someone will have it here with in hours of it being sent out, ready to be pushed to the device.
Luckily this is a device they aren't trying to hide root on. Yay for unlocked bootloaders!
thx =)

if i flash tat will i lost the default apps such as dungeon defender etc?
I believe the letter "h" on your keyboard is broken!

Thank you I did those 2 and no problems thus far any more suggestions would be nice from anyone thank you I just don't want to have to pay cricket to reflash this thing
U can remove all sprint apps if u use a 3rd party launcher u can remove Rosie and all the sense Widgets u can also remove a long list of the other apks like calculator and stuff if u have 3rd party apps or just don't need em. Since u are rooted you should get titanium backup pro u can then backup all the apks u wanna delete then u can restore them if u ever have a need too
Edit: you can search for the safe to remove apps for sprint evo they are all safe for flashed phones, or you could install a.custom rom like the classic or SOS

Thank you did all the sprint apps how about the Amazon and blockbuster? And I'm a little ifffy on doing roms but if I was to do a rom is that going to revert me back to sprint?
No roms wont revert you back to sprint, Amazon blockbuster are safe in titanium backup app most all apps listed in white are removable somewhere around xda there is a safe apps to remove list if I come across it ill post a link for u otherwise Google "safe apps to remove evo 4g"

Coming from an HTC One!!

Hello fellow S4 users. I will be getting my S4 tomorrow and had a question about transferring my data from my HTC One. If I backup my HTC One with Titanium Pro and then root my S4, will I be able to get all the apps along with the data from my HTC One to my S4? Thanks
Also do you guys think Titanium would be better for this or GO Backup?

not sure. you could try flashing your HTC One backup ROM on the GS4 and see how that goes though (SARCASM DO NOT TRY IT LOL).
ive honestly never tried using one TiBu on a different phone, though i have done it successfully between stock and custom ROMS, so it may work. if i were you, i would download all the apps again, and restore ONLY data, then check the apps all out and see. i could (and probably am) wrong though.
mine basically reloaded from PlayStore from my One S
you can make a copy of your TB and put it on pc then copy back to s4, not sure if that works or not to a new phone
actually if i remember i had to re buy tb pro
I have successfully transferred my tibu from s3-s4 but not sure across different makes.

New to GS4 - Couple Questions

My new GS4 should be delivered today! I am retiring my beloved Motorola Photon but am very excited at the prospects of having the best device on the market in my hands. My question concerns all of my backed up apps and games from my rooted and modded Photon. Is it possible to restore them from my saved "Titanium Backup" files to the GS4? Is it better to download the apps again from the play store and just restore the data? Thanks for any help.
most of the apps will f/c, just download them again, and save you the trouble and time.
Thanks for the reply. I will go ahead and just download all of my apps from the play store but my main concern was more about losing the app data. Can the data be restored safely via saved Titanium Backups?
I think this thread should maybe have been posted in the Q&A forum. My bad.
You should have no problem restoring the data using TB, just make sure you don't restore any system data.
On another note, since you will be getting your phone today, I would recommend that you take both firmware updates before you root. The most recent firmware is MF9, when you receive your phone it will probably be on MDC. So goto settings my device and then select update firmware and let it upgrade to MDL, then after its upgraded have it upgrade again to receive MF9. Then you can use chainfires cf-autoroot in the development section to root it and follow his instructions to load a custom recovery. This will save you a lot of headaches in the upgrade process and get you rooted with the latest software on the phone.

Or you could use the Helium app for your transfers. No root required! I was able to transfer all of my apps+data from my E4GT via WiFi with no force closes

When I switched from my tmobile note 2 to the sprint gs4, I used titanium backup to restore user apps with data. Never had any issues.
Just make sure to not backup any system data/apps only user apps

Enjoy the S4. :good:
I got the Photon right when it came out and someone here in our office still has one. It really shined in the short span it was one of the top devices but crazy how much of an improvement the S4 is. First thing I always notice is how much better the screen is and how much thinner the device is. Not to mention moving from GB to JB is huge.

Thanks CC. Yeah, the Photon was a great phone. Still is. Was Sprint's top device when I ordered it. I had mine rooted, overclocked and modded almost from day one and have had a custom CM10 JB rom(Thanx jokersax) on it for most of the time I've had it so I'm very familiar with JB. I'm really excited for the S4 though. Cant wait to get my hands on it. Hopefully today! First thing I'll do after I activate it will be to update the firmware to MF9. Then I'll have to figure out how to root it. Then I have no idea what I'll do as far as kernels/recoveries/roms yet. Have lots of reading to do. :silly:

Try running it with rooted stock for awhile. Maybe even with a custom launcher & kernel. You might be pleasantly surprised at how well it runs. Plus you can play with all the fancy stuff on the phone and see what you like and don't like.
CF Autoroot has been confirmed working for MF9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291827

Thats what I'm gonna do for a while yeah. Thanks for the link.
Well, I got my new GS4 on Friday finally! This thing is really nice. The screen is amazing. Hard to believe how much better all of my photos look! Anyway, what I'm looking for is advice on what to do next. I just rooted it with CF Auto Root (Thanks Chainfire) and it went very smoothly. Kernels, custom recoveries so I can run a nandroid backup? What have you done??
I just upgraded from a photon...I restored about 80 apps+data, text messages and call log. I actually didnt have a single issue. Titanium rocks.

First I rooted and flashed twrp, then flashed a stock based rom calked intrinsic. Stock kernel. Also uninstalled a bunch more stock apps with ti. I'm really digging everything about touchwiz. Everything is so slick. I even love the Samsung keyboard, how about you?

What to do...what to do...

I've got an M with unlocked BL, and rooted. I only like the root so I can use Adfree, I don't get into the deeper stuff. I paid someone $50 to flash the phone to PagePlus, and I don't want to have to do that again after a RSD.
I've got the KK nag screen bugging me twice a day everyday to do it's thing. From what I've read, this is not possible till I RSD.
I really wanted a XT1080M, but no one can flash them to PP yet.
Sooooo..... do I stick with JB/root/adfree and live with the nag, or do I RSD to 412 and let the OTA do it's thing? I see on the RSD files page, there's 442 on there... is it possible to RSD straight to 442 or do I have to go 412 then OTA to 442?
I realize there's no root, but I do have the unlocked BL, so there's hope for the future I guess... but I really want/need the bigger phone and like moto hardware. So I guess its' fix the M up, or go razr Maxx HD.
what do you guys think?
If you are unlocked, you can flash in RSD whatever you want. And you can root in KK too, of course. Just flash SuperSU package in custom recivery

For Pageplus users don't upgrade to KitKat
Do not update to KitKat it will not work with Pageplus.
In order to get pageplus to work on the Razr M/Maxx HD the radios on the phones are down versioned to ICS so that the changes to NV_ONLY to stick. This hack will not work with the phone running KitKat. As of yet I have not seen any work around for this problem.
Since you are rooted you can stop the OTA nag screen by freezing the Verizon updater app.
Check out this threat for all things about flashing Razr M to pageplus

Wow.. am I glad I asked before pulling the trigger! That's what I love about this community. Thank you laspero, I had no idea the update would render my device useless. Any recommendations for what app to freeze with or what that app is called?
I use 'App Quarantine' and froze 'Updater'
