[Q] Android updating - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi everyone,
Ever since I use a self modded systemui.apk from an already modded apk, I am getting the android updating popup every time I restart the phone.
I see this message before, that is when I do the rooting stuff but it only shows up during the first boot.
Is that normal?
Besides that message, everything seems to work well.
Thanks

Guess, its normal then, at first I thought it is an issue of not using cwm flashable zip

Which file should I remove?
I googled around and found several post about it.
Some say about removing titanium backup odex from data/app folder (or generally other odex files), reinstall titanium backup, clear dalvik cache and another one is deleting com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar from framework folder
I done all of those with the exception of titanium backup odex as I don't have those. I did reinstall titanium backup though and that jar file I didn't remove it using adb but simply delete it.
None fix it lol.

Contacts Issue and Apps.zip

I have found a couple people that have frozen or removed apps and are starting to get issues with their contacts. Not being able to remove, add, update, or anything with them. So I am posting a zip file off all of the apps for people that have removed them without backing them up. You simply need to restore the app that you removed which is most likely a yahoo contacts or email that is tied into the contacts. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2VU48HSU
Great resource this. I was going to post mine up soon, but you beat me to it. Only had my X2 for a day.
Do you restore these with titanium backup? Because I backed up the bloat ware and later tried to restore it to no luck. However the apps were frozen when backed up so perhaps that caused an issue?
I don't think titanium backup is good at restoring. I've tried it a couple times with no luck. if you place a copy of the zip file extracted on your sd card and open it with files select the application you want to install you can install it from there. I personally only like titanium backup for freezing the application I don't use and cannot remove.

I have tried to install the apps in your list but some would not be installed. Is there another way I can force them to be installed? By putting them in a location?
The list is:
Backup Assistant
Backup Assistant Client
DLNA
DLNA System Service
Emergency Alerts
All Authenticators
Help Center
Home Screen Tips
IM 3.0.4.6
IM Presence 2.2.2

Just use root explorer and place them in system/data or push through adb.
Reboot after you place them there.

Sorry, I'm rather new to this whole root thing. I uninstalled backupassistant with Titanium backup and my contacts got screwed. I downloaded the zip and tried to install Backupassistant.apk but it says "application was not installed". Is there a specific way that I need to reinstall? Root explorer does not allow me to change permissions from read only for "system" so I can't move the apk files in there.

Check and see if you are rooted first. You cannot install system files as a normal app. They must be pushed to system/app or placed there using root explorer. Check and see if you are rooted or that you superuser has blocked root explorer.

Edit Below
I think I know what your talking about, follow Nitros instructions but when you are at the starting folder in Root Explorer press the Mount R/W button, I believe as long as you stay in the program (or don't press back too many times, because if you are at the base folder and press back it will go back to R/O) any folder you go into will say "R/W" at the top. So just press the button when its available and THEN go into the folder you need to go to and the setting will stick.
Edit: actually I just was messing with my phone and the reason I saw that behavior is because I was in the SD card where its always R/W. If its not showing up then yeah I'd listen to Nitro on this one, though I have no idea how you got rid of Backup assistant without root.
So I just copied the app list you posted onto my phone and now its in a boot loop. I thought that when I copied all of them over it would let me choose to not replace files already there. Now the phone is in a boot loop.
This may sound stupid, but I am kinda hoping its reinstalling the apks, one with each boot? But I kinda have a sneaking suspicious that I just ruined my phone since there is no SBF
Also, the boot times before restarting are not consistent, does this mean anything?

If you are in a bootloop but all of your apps are still in place there is a slight chance that you could do a factory reset through recovery and the phone will boot.

Yeah I am rooted with gingerbreak 1.2. As of now Im not really concerned with the contacts anymore because I can still add and save new contacts. My concern now is that when the OTA Gingerbread update is out for the X2, will I be able to install it without the original Bloat.

Yeah my office tech support guy took a look at it and tried it, we got an error indicator icon when we tried. I don't think it finished copying, I think everything dying killed the copy process and left something important unfinished.
Now I am a little wiser for my new phone.

So I'm guessing the only way to get these programs reinstalled is if the SBF is available for the X2, which it is not?

Unfortunately for you, a hard reset is probably the easiest way. Then do an app/data restore from Titanium again, but DON'T restore system apps this time!
can someone please post a messaging system app from titanium on sg2 so i can restore that?

You'll need to put this in the system/apps folder to reinstate it, but this may not fix the problem as there may be associated files that you also need. Only 1 way to find out
mmm, i sent it to myself in a email and downloaded and installed over the top, but still no good.

You'll need to hard reset then. Since you have a backup to restore, it'll only take 5 minutes. Like I said, just don't restore system apps.
ill try one more thing, installing root explorer and see if i delete all the old stuff and install then.

You're not actually trying to install the apk by running it, are you?
tried to haha. but now i deleted the original via root explorer then uploaded the one you gave me back in there
didnt work gahh. it doesnt think the app exists now..
I hate to sound like a broken record, but do a hard reset. If you'd have done it earlier, you'd be using your phone by now
- how do i do a hard reset?

Can't get root access

Hey everyone. I seem to be in a little trouble here.
I had rooted my phone a while ago. I odexed some apps, superuser included. Now, superuser started crashing on me randomly. I tried unrooting and rooting again. But it seems like the odex file is causing issues, not letting superuser work it's magic.
I can uninstall any apps, even system ones via flashtool. But I can't reinstall apps that had gotten odexed. And they aren't working properly, just like superuser. I can't seem to think of a way to delete the odex file, since to get root I need to delete the odex file.
Is there any way for me to maybe wipe my system? Or just delete that odex file? I don't have CWM installed. I somehow remember reading of installing CWM without root, but I'm not so sure anymore.
Full wipe, clearing, deleting. Anything you've got to offer would be nice. Anything that works.
EDIT: Also, I don't have access to the Google Play store app. That crashed too.

Tried that. Didn't help. Just get's rid of the installation of non sytem apps. Everything else is pretty much intact.
I even tried installing another superuser. Didn't work either.
In fact, flashtool says root access exists. While other apps like android commander and qtadb don't seem to think so.
EDIT: Solved, thanks. What I initially had was only the kernel. Wiped and flashed. Back to normal now. Thanks.

I have the same phone and model,the Y625-U21. Many weeks ago,I renamed accidentally the system file "framework-res.apk" and it won't boot until I will flash the ROM. You must do that to recover the apks. What's the problem? The phone was launched on July. There's no ROM of our phone on the whole internet and Huawei doesn't provide it. So we are without a functional phone until there's a ROM.

Exactly...
If your sister's phone is the Y625-U21 too and works,you can dump the ROM and flash it on your phone so it will work again
You have to install the phone and contacts app from the same version of the phone on the same exact update. You can not install the apps just by clicking on them, you need to use a root enabled file manager and move them to the /system/app folder and set the permissions to 0644 - rw-r-r.
