[Solved] xdabbed's backup file for d802-20d FW

Hi everybody,
First post ! unfortunately it is because I need help...
I recently upgrade my firmware and I was about to reinstall the xdabbed's camera mod but I unfortunately backup the already modified file system.
Therefore, it would be really helpfull if someone could send me their backup of the system folder.
thanks!

Do you have access to custom recovery ?

the phone is rooted but I haven't installed any custom recovery.
I thought i could be possible to grab someone's backup system archive and use the xdabbed apk to restore default applications.
Actually I should describe a bit more the problem, the camera is there, the player is there but the gallery has disappeared.
There is an LGgallery.apk that comes with xdabbed package but i can't install it. When I try a manual install (just launch the apk), it is just telling me that the app couldn't be installed.
hope we can do something from it, otherwise I'll install a custom recovery and follow any advises you might have,
Thanks,

The thing is:
I can provide you with a restore package(also apk) but I wouldn't advise it. (it's unsafe replacing files on a LIVE android system)
If something happens and you don't have a custom recovery then your only solution is to flash a kdz.
So the best thing would be to install recovery.
If you want the apk I'll send it to you, until now it worked 2 of 2 times for restoring. Again..i would advise the recovery.
+you don't install the lggallery.apk, you copy it to /system/priv-app and chmod 644
first delete the lggallery.odex

Ok so i replaced the old LGgallery, remove the odex, changed permission and reboot but no luck with that.
installing a custom recovery sounds quite complex and I am ready to take a risk and try your archive. (hope it'll do the trick)
Otherwise I'll resort to install a recovery,
Many thanks

Actually it's 1 click and it's installed. If the apk fails and you bootloop then you can't install recovery(or boot).

I am usually stubborn but I listen the advise this time, could you advise me on the best way to do it or direct me to an appropriate thread?

Since you are already rooted.
first: download this
It's the flashable zip for the camera(thx to bruce) (put it on sdcard(internal storage))
then
1. AutoRec d802 You say you've got the d802 right ? Then this one.
Install..Run..Press YES. Allow permissions. Press Flash, wait.. When it says it's done then it's done.
Then press "to recovery" see if it reboots. If it does, you should see TWRP..just press install zip, choose the newly dloaded file.

Sorry for misunderstanding. Now i get it but the problem i have is. I have downloaded custom bootanimation.zip so how should i flash that as a custom bootanimation. The files you have given me are in qmg format.

yeah that's what i am talking about.

stuck in bootloop after change bootanimation! can recovry fix it?

where can i delete the faulty file through file manager in twrp? i dont wanna flash a bunch of images or anything can someone PLZ tell me an easier way to get rid of the bootanimation?

can i flash any flashable zip bootanimation? would that replace the current one n fix it?

Did you make a backup of the original bootanimation? If so use Terminal in TWRP to restore it, or try using adb shell command to fix it. That happened to me once on an older phone and that's how I fixed it.

i have a working bootanimation.zip file on my PC, i can flash it via adb?

and no i did not make a backup

You can try adb push bootanimation.zip > /system/media/bootanimation.zip

I'm using benzo and i think my permissions are wrong maybe, is it 644 or 755? I want the marvel theme of changing superheroes but i just can't get it to work why does a bootanimation get stuck? Is it the numbering of the images?

You can try fixing the permissions via TWRP recovery.
Another thing that might help, is to dirty flash the ROM again, over the current installation, without wiping anything.

Next time, please only post your question in one place, double posting isn't allowed.

Can't he just remove the boot animation and not transfer one over? I believe the phone will boot but a stock "Android" letter boot animation will load and then the phone will boot where he can install a new boot animation (or maybe put back the old boot animation)

No, this twrp cannot install supersu. It can not mount the data so it can install files but the files will not do anything. I have not tried to backup and restore with this chinese twrp. You can also mount the system partition manually then you can cut and paste in the root directory.

I can view the files in the root directory. When the phone in this recovery you can reboot, shutdown, reboot recovery, or reboot bootloader. You can also use other functions like factory reset, format data,...The main features likes flashing the files will not work since it cannot mount the data partition.

Phone has no OS at all after rooting

After doing the root method located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/instruction-to-root-h918-10i-t3536472 my phone only boots into twrp and only has the twrp file on it. When i try to reboot into system it just sends me right back into twrp. I have no idea how that happened and i might of done the impossible but, is there any way to fix it? It's a T-Mobile 10j V20
Update: Tried installing therom from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-maximum-ovrdrive-lg-v20-v2-0-t3518475 and yet it still only shows twrp folder and wont boot to the start screen

Yeah, MEGAROM wise it will take you into aroma installer which you can choose exactly what you want, like you can chose to flash magisk or supersu, lg sounds or pixel etc... Of everything else fails then just grab kdz file and flash through lg up

That is awesome! I hope it finally works and lets me see that beautiful start screen

It did not, and LGUP isnt working with a Failed to load error (5)

sounds like ur in a twrp loop.. are you checking to see if system is getting mounted in twrp?
there are a few ways to fix a twrp loop, try booting into recovery using the vol down method, and see if just hitting reboot works,
if not, fastboot commands that address this would be fastboot erase etc; fastboot erase misc ; fastboot erase fota ; and then reboot and see if it boots.
be aware boot up times take a lot longer then usual when you root, as the aboot is a little slower.
you could also try the twrp file manager route and delete the above directories also, etc/misc/fota/cache
if you have never done a FORMAT data with twrp you need to do that 1st and remove encryption as the stock rom is encrypted and will not boot after root.
Wipe using format data, type yes, then wipe the directories i mentioned and then flash the stock rom mentioned by the other member then reboot and let it sit for 15min. If it dosn't instantly shoot you back to twrp then ur good, just wait wait wait for that long 1st boot to complete.
