I downloaded many apps from market. Now, i am unable to uninstall those apps. everytime i reboot the phone after uninstalling, those apps appear again under phone menu. Did full reset using key string *2767*3855# but still the problem exist. Plz help...
After full wipe are you connecting with your google account to the phone? If yes then the google server restores your phone to the state before with all apps settings except passwords. Try a different account after wiping. But if you are on a ICS, wiping isn't a good idea, because the emmc erase and hard bricks.

So, I have a T-mobile version of Galaxy S, rooted, and then installed platinium backup to uninstall apps, by accident, I uninstalled some apps I don't want to. I just need to get some of the apps back, any ideas about how to do that? I don't mind even reset the phone back to the original state (without root, with all the preinstalled apps back.) How should I do it?
You can use
* settings / privacy / factory data reset ( never tested )
* swith off your phone and then up volume + home button + power button. Wait few seconds and then release the buttons. You will be in the recovery mode and you will have the possibility to hard reset

Did the first option last night, and it wipes all your data (except media like music and pictures). Removes all the apps, and only restores the apps that were preloaded on your phone.

I tried the first option as well. It only erase all the user data and apps, but it won't recover lost preloaded apps though. My understanding is that it is the same for the second option unless I put a new firmware somewhere. Right?

that doesn't do it, the true way is this via your phone pad
*2767*3855# WARNING! FACTORY DATA WIPE EVERYTHING AND RESET as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone
there is NO CONFIRMATION, it kills everything after the last #, so make sure you have a backup of what you want to keep

Just tried it. It doesn't work. It basically removed all user data and the apps I downloaded. It didn't recover the preloaded apps I deleted.
Reflash the phone and start from scratch.

ahh, if you want to recover those, then you'll have to re-flash your phone with the same firmware
here is a full list of firmwares that will restore the default apps
http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsungi9000.htm
make sure you select the one that corresponds to your exact model
Thanks. In that webpage, it did say "- If you come from America don't flash! (Ask for a firmware in the forums)". Is that a problem since I am using T-mobile (USA) phone?
Also, I tried the secrete code *#1234# through the dialer, nothing happened. Then I pushed "call", it says "USSD code running....", then says "unable to process request". How to dot that?
Thanks

I am trying to install Dexter's ElocityMod v1.41, and running into two problems.
The easy and final problem is this: how do I know if the mod was successful or not? How can I verify that the A7 is running ElocityMod v1.41.
The confusing problem and first problem I have is this.
I power the machine up, and use the procedure ElocityMod v1.42 thread to enter the Recovery Menu
I press home and see the menu
I select Wipe/factory reset
BUT
At that point I am presented with the following:
Android system recover <1e>
Confirm wipe of all user data?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
Yes -- delete all user data
No
No
No
E:recovery.c Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Formatting MISC:...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So this confuses me. I have a few questions.
Do I want to wipe the user data? What will I lose by doing so?
I can move up and down selecting each list item. Do I want to press MENU and wipe each one?
Or do I want to wipe only the first item?
Or do I want to wipe only the user data?
And what is that stuff at the bottom about can't open a cache recovery command and formatting MISC:?
And finally, is the Elocity A7 easy to brick, or hard to brick and easy to recover from?
Thanks so much
Jerry
What I did when flashing was wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and then apply sdcard:update.zip. I did the same thing for 1.41, 1.42 and the xbox controller patch. Wiping should erase all data and programs on your tablet. I am not sure how hard it is to brick this tablet but as long as the files you download from that thread don't get corrupted in the download process you should be fine. And even then I think you should easily be able to just turn it off and get back into recovery to flash again.
Thanks, I deleted the user / data partition, and actually did not apply the update (accidentally) and just rebooted to find that the tablet booted up just fine, looking reinitialized to factory defaults.
So I tried again, and this time applied the update, and it worked just fine.
And success seems to be self-evident, in this case, coming up, being asked to setup a "phone", and signing into a google account, and eventually seeing a lot more apps in the drawer, specifically including the market.
One other tip though, you can't sign into your google account until you setup a wifi channel. The tablet wants you to do it the other way around.
And just a note for google 2 step authentication users, if you do use 2 step authentication, then when signing in to an existing google account on the tablet, you do need to use a google application specific password.
yeah kind of dumb it asks for a google login when you don't even have wifi setup. you can also check the what version you have by going into settings and clicking about.
As title suggests my phone reboots when uninstalling any app via google play store or settings/apps.. it soft reboots from the rom load up logo
i've tried
reinstalling the rom/gapps
wiped system/cache/dalvik
deleted google play app data
deleting accounts
using stock kernel
used diferent launchers
virus scans
removed all apps recently installed (uninstall does work, it reboots imediately on completion)
i really want to avoid wiping the data partition which is all i can think is wrong.
anybody come across this ? any ideas

Ur phone may RIP!!
I haven't come across such problem....Just wipe the cache, dalvik cache & flash the stock rom with the stock kernel.
Did you try uninstalling using titanium backup?
Does that cause reboot as well?
I gave up and formatted the data partition, I guess it got corrupted somehow or maybe a virus was responsible.
Working ok now...shrugs
Hi all, i've searched far and wide to resolve this but nothing seems to work that i've tried. I cannot sign in to add my google calendar to my phone. I'm able to do everything else: get email, get to playstore, etc. As far as I know i do not have 2 step verification setup. I'm on 4.4.2, rooted. When i try to add my existing google account to the calendar i get "couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with the Google servers. Try again later."
I dont want to have to do a factory reset if possible.
Thanks all!

Clear cache and dalvik cache, and delete data from the calendar app. If that doesn't work, uninstall the app, repeat the clearing procedure, then reinstall. It should work:fingers-crossed:
@ldeveraux thanks for the reply. I tried what I think is the process above but still no luck. Maybe I'm not following what you suggested correctly. I went into the data/dalvik cache directory and wiped it out, cleared the calendar data. But not quite sure what you mean by "clear cache" in the very first part of what you wrote. Can you maybe give me a step by step with a little more info? Thanks again.

You're rooted and have safestrap installed?
1) Go to App info on the calendar app and Clear Data
2) reboot to safastrap.
3) go to wipe menu, advanced wipe, then check ONLY Cache and Dalvik Cache
4) wipe these 2 ONLY, then reboot.
If that doesn't work, uninstall the calendar app, reboot, reinstall the app from the play store.
I have no clue if this will work, but it's worth a shot

Hi, Im rooted but dont have Safestrap installed. I guess I can add it back if it'll fix this problem. Do I absolutely need it?

Hello again, I added back Safestrap and followed the above and still the same results. I appreciate the effort. Any other ideas out there?? Also I can't uninstall the calendar app. I guess its the stock one that came with the phone. I can freeze or uninstall it with TB but i don't see it available on the play store.

I'm getting the feeling you didn't do this as I explained. You shouldn't delete the files or folders in a file explorer app. It should be done like I explained in SS.
And you can uninstall google Calendar with any uninstaller app or TB, either way. the new app to download is here, so yes it exists:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.calendar&hl=en

I did follow your instructions once i re-installed Safestrap. But unfortunately still having the issue.
Its possible to clear the cache and davlik cache on stock using stock recovery and without root i thought id note..

Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
So I was with my journey to free some space, Suddenly I saw data_1, data_2 and data_3, So I removed them.... And now when i restarted my device.. mostly everything removed but gallery! What do I must do to restore my phone? The factory reset solution will be the last solution if nothing worked
Factory reset will not install deleted apps. Factory reset will delete every user-installed apps.
Reinstall rom. That's what I suggest. If you don't have any backup of your current rom.

It showed me after reinstallation" UID error " and that I need to wipe my data partition in order to use your device as stable. After I clicked (I'm Feeling Lucky) It took me to the launcher with the same things, nothing has been changed.. Other suggestions? Or do I have to wipe and relax?
What are you talking about? What exactly did you do?
I reinstalled the firmware, Nothing else.
I've taken my decision to wipe data..
What rom are you actually using?
Stock.
Thank you for helping as I fixed the problem by wiping data, my whatsapp, gallery, and music all restored!
