[SOLVED ]apk deletion in SYSTEM / APP = phone dead?

[Guest bapt92]

Hello,

For some time I browse this forum, and I decided to enroll

But, I have a serious problem.

Can you help me please?

My acer liquid is root. I wanted to uninstall and basic applications like spinlets, acer registration.

For this I downloaded the application Root Manager.

But by mistake I delete probably essential to the laptop.

Following the keyboard does not work: an error message appears

Sorry!

Closing the Keyboard Android (com.android.inputmethod.latin process). Thank you try again.

I formatted the laptop but nothing makes the problem persists.

I can't use virtual keyboard. So I can't write, The acer liquid starts, but It's impossible to uses the keyboard.

I read that it is possible to recover acer liquid.

I quote: Warning! If you accidentally type rm /system/app you will remove all applications and mess up your phone (can be recovered with a flash or a restore of a nandroid backup). Make sure you have something ending in .apk, eg: rm /system/app/blah.apk

I would like to restore the acer liquid? How to get?

Thanks a lot

Hi! try a reset - settings- sd card & phone storage - Factory data reset or try

hard reset - turn the device on with both volume buttons held down, if this doesn't work try reflashing the device, you can find all the roms for liquid in this tread http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...cer-liquid-rom/

Thank you for the quick response.

I tried to format the laptop with the menu, with the technique of the three buttons but nothing has helped to restore this.

Software components are probably damaged.

I don't understand how to use room.

This may fix the problem?

can you please explain

Thanks.

Hi you can try to flash you phone and reinstall your sytem (and maybe data partitions). If you needd help, please ask by PM and give me your email so I could give you a quick howto.

AH, you deleted all the system apps. No sweat bro, I was afraid that I too would make the same mistake so I backed up all my apps, just push the them into your /system/app folder. Or maybe, on the other hand skip the ones you don't want. :)

I uploaded it here. Be more careful next time okay, one should read more before you go out at experiment on your phone B)

super mean that the phone can work again properly?

Thank you very much.

ADB should be used to inject the APP?

That's cool. Nice.

did you fix the phone?

[Guest bapt92]

Not yet,

because I don't know how to write in cmd for re-install apk.

Somebody can give command line please?

If I do not suceed with APK method, I think I Will use the room flash.

thank you again for your help

[Guest lucian785]

from the command line run

adb push C:\android\"the name of the app that you want to copy to system apps" /system/app/

adb install C:\android\"the name of the app that you want to install"

(if you dont have the "android" folder on drive c just create one and put all the apps from my link)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DVNV46H0 -- this are all the original apps csl rom

I can't claim to be very knowledgeable in ADB but I think I got the command you need. Mount the device in your computer. Note that you must NOT run any emulator instances in adb. Just follow this:

First, extract the zip file you downloaded to your C:/ harddrive. Since we don't want to make a mess lets make a folder that's called AndroidBackup, now you you have C:/AndroidBackup path to your folder. Copy all .apk files in the zip to AndroidBackup folder. so now you have allot of .apk files in C:/AndroidBackup.

Now I presume you still want to remove undesirable apps, here is a list of what is safe to remove from the file you downloaded from me, just remove them from the C:/AndroidBackup before preceding:

Start command promt. Start --> Run ---> cmd

Copypaste this. ONE line at a time.

adb remount

adb push C:\AndroidBackup /system/app

Now reboot the device.

aaaaand you are done, let me know if it worked ;) If not I may have another solution that I may think will work, but try this first.

EDIT: I have tested this by pushing some -apk files that I didn't have in my /system/app directery. Works like a charm for me, so I really hope this fix will help you.

Thanks you very much it works.

Phone is OK, keyboard works.

Here are the steps if anyone is interested

1) Start> Run> cmd

2) c: \ android-sdk-windows \ tools \ adb.exe devices.

acer liquid is recognized.

3) c: \ android-sdk-windows \ tools \ adb.exe remount.

Remount succeded

4) c: \ android-sdk-windows \ tools \ adb push c: \ AndroidBackup / system / app

thank you again
