i used SparkyRoot to root my prime and uninstall some apps. Now I have to send the tablet back to asus so I did a factory reset and unroot using SparkyRoot. however, the deleted apps are still missing and i still cant update my prime (with red triangle).
I have heard if i download the update file directly from asus will work but i dont know how to use the file. please help!
before you deleted anything
did you do any modification of the root directories? such as adding a boot screen animation? super charge? keyboard re-mapping?
if you did you have to restore those back to default manually or else it won't update your prime~

no i havent. i deleted asus music, library, google+ i think
any idea how to reset to original setting?
i think you're gonna need to find the apk to re-install the missing apps... cause i think the updater are seeing those apps being missing so its giving you an error
same thing happened to me bro. i was at awe as to why it didnt upgrade. what i did was i had to flash the factory image (.15) and then the ota worked. theres threads all over on how to do that. i upgrade to .21 but now my tablet wouldnt unlock. in terms of bootloader. did a factory reset and it worked.

A factory reset doesn't restore deleted apps. You'll need to reinstall the stock apk files that were removed as already mentioned.

Hello,
I am unable to post in the Developement threads at the moment due to the post limit but thought I would ask here and hopefully someone can help me.
Firstly, I have a Locked BootLoader that cannot be unlocked, I have rooted my XS and it is running ICS, I pretty much have it the way I want it but would like to try the MIUI ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768057 which works for all BootLoaders.
Secondly, I need to know if I will lose Root access by flashing the above ROM and also if I will lose all my personal Data. I have CWM installed and have backed up everything it will alow me to back up. But I am just concerned about losing root access and personal data.
For those of you who have flashed the ROM, can you tell me if root access is removed and if personal data is also wiped?
Thank you in advance and I appreciate all answers.
Personal data like pics,music and movie will not be lost if they are on the ext sd card.
Root should stay, but all apps that you install will be wiped so you need to download again from play store and make a backup for contacts and sms.

Would backing up via CWM not be advisable, just backup using the Sony PC Companion or the Backup and Restore utility on the phone itself, should I just use them all to be sure?
Thank you for the reply, much appreciated.
Allow me to add, all Media files are on the additional storage of the phone, the 32gb, I am just worried about SMS, Contacts and so on.
Also, with the above mentioned ROM, are there any limitations as to what apps would run, for instance, ICS compatible apps I previously purchased should have no issue?
Forgive my ignorance, I am not so familiar with Android.

He will lose root, as he have locked bootloader. But there is a link somewhere that is a workaround for it.

Any chance you could point me in the right direction?
I originally used the method outlined by Sharaz22 to root my XS, downgrading to GB and flashing several things, but that is the only thing I have read on the subject of rooting a locked bootloader and to get it up to ICS rooted, I have not read about any special method for MIUI to maintain root access, even in the thread I linked above I could not see a work around, unless I am going blind.
Again, thank you and your help is appreciated.

If you have CWM, when you flash MIUI you'll still have it.

You will never lose root if you install roms with cwm,you will lose it only if the rom are buggy but not in case of miui.
@op use this link to download the rom for LT26

Okay, this is making sense to me now, so I just need to place the files into the suggested directory and reboot into CWM and flash MIUI throught there. Obviously following the instructions in the original thread and all should be fine, root access will not be lost and I can restore backed up content such as SMS and contacts without any fuss?
Thanks guys, that is great. :good:

I lost both when I flashed MIUI. I still had root, but not CWM. For locked bootloaders, the CWM is installed in the /system partition. When you flash MIUI, all of the files in that partition are changed, so you lose it. You can either reflash CWM like you did the first time or you can use this method (I forgot I had the link): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787532

Sorry GM, one final question.
What is the difference between the one you linked and the one in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793432
I notice Sharaz22 states he removed the Kernel so it would work with the stock Kernel, now I have the stock Kernel since I installed a stock ICS so what problems would I face if I went with the official one and not the one Sharaz22 "edited"?

Nope. Flash ROM with CWM, wipe what you have to wipe, and before rebooting, flash the CWM package (no need for the Superuser one)
Guys, I suffered some mishap yesterday trying to flash MIUI on my phone.
After the flashing process with CWM, the phone would not boot, no response other than a single flash of the green LED and a vibration, it would not boot and i tried for over an hour. In the end I had to use Flashtools and get ICS back on the phone.
Since that, I cannot root my phone again, I have tried and tried, the first time I did it, it was easy and straight forward, downgrading to GB and using the batch files and so on, but now, each and every time I try to do it and follow the guides, of which I have found two, it does not work. That is because the process states that the "Device is not detected" and it cannot locate anything related to ADB. I have checked the drivers, installed several, reinstalled flashtools and each time I go through the guide I am left with an unrooted phone and nothing seems to work. Even in flashtools it struggles to flash the ROM every now and then and the phone just seems to randomly disconnect even though it remains plugged in.
Any help, I am struggling to get anything done on this phone and I would rather just have Root and CWM than MIUI.

I tried that also, but it did not work. Maybe I missed a step or did not read correctly, but I will give it another go in a bit and see if it works.

To all of you, thank you, I f***ing love you guys!
I managed to get Root and CWM back on with ICS and Flashed MIUI, I was disappointed by MIUI and thankfully I had created a CWM backup a day earlier of my phone the way I wanted it, so I restored that and have everything I was missing and back how the phone was before I started messing around with MIUI.
Thank you all so much for your help, you guys are a great benefit to this community, thanks!

Without root access and a custom recovery, there is nothing you can do except either guess the code or reset the device.

Mates, am an idiot, Thanks.
Am on Jelly Bean rooted, thought i would install fonts since stock are boring, i had tried ifonts too but they didn't work.
So i grabbed a free copy Fonts installer root by Jrummy apps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer&hl=en
i selected a font, it asked and it backed up my stock fonts. Then I installed the desired font, but it won't get past Huawei logo.
I tried adb but it's says unauthorised though I see the device number. Google couldn't help.
I was hoping to intsall stock fonts via adb, possible or how else?
Don't have twrp and it does boot into bootloader screen, where it says boot loader status unlocked. I read related forums but can't seem
to lock on which way is better?
Help please

then try this method:

And remember root is double side sword, you should have backup before play as root.
Is there anyway to change fonts through the entire operating system? Not Dpi. Has anyone had success. I have tried iFonts, font installer by jrummy apps, then via xposed, but no success. Am on 4.3, B148.

I have the same problem. Honestly I think that is due to the unlocked bootloader, not the root.
Did you unlock the bootloader before rooting the device?

No. What I said was that the feature, for me, didn't work very well since the beginning. But you can use, for example, Flashtool, flash the stock software and try to use the feature again.
