Hello,
Kinda new around here..I have S4 MT6577 i9500 clone ROOTED mobile. I mistakenly uninstalled setting apps during using Mobilego application. So now i cannot go to any settings; even connect to Wifi or enable USB debugging from menu. I restore to factory reset also, but no success. SETTINGS IS GONE,
I have a copy of settings.apk in my PC. How can i reinstall it again (Due to no USB debugging, I cannot connect to ADB as well)
Please help.. :crying:
copy settings.apk to your sd card. move it to system/app by using a file manager and set correct permissions (rw-r--r--)
After keeping it in file manager , reboot the phone..ta..da..setting.apk back.
Or else try nandroid restore at recovery , if u hav flashed...:thumbup:
SENT FROM MONSTER ! ! !

I have not flashed Nandroid back up. In which folder do I have to put the apk file???
The file is in my SD card but I get "Install block for Non google market app" notifications. I cannot enable it either due to settings error.
You have to copy it to the system/app directory. Then set the proper permissions and reboot

Thanks, but the problem is, when I reset to factory mode, my root explorer app\ is also gone. So I cannot go to system/app directory or change permissions of the file. I have apk file of "root explorer" also in SD card, but I can't install it either. I am not seeing any solution to the problem now.
Is there any way I can "code" while booting to enable debugging mode? Then I will be able to connect mobile from PC.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This requires root!
The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/
!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!
Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"
If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.
Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL
Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.
Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).
Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and make sure it is named correctly, it is case sensitive.
Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?
Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!

Your root has failed, download root checker to see.
If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.
Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.
Thanks,
Karl
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

First you need to Root.
There are good guides around here.
I'd recommend ES File Explorer
Download it then
Open ES File Explorer
Menu > Settings > Root settings.
Check Root Explorer
Click Grant when SU popup appears.
Check Up to Root
and Check Mount File System.
Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder.
Slightly easier
No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.
Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)
Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.
navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.
Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.
Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)
Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.
operation failed?

Rw-r-r. In a grid of 1 to 9, top left to bottom right, 1,2,3,4 ticked. 5,6,7,8,9 unticked. Should be immediate but if not, just reboot.

Hello all,
I'm a complete noob in Android and programing, and accidentaly deleted DownloadProvider.apk (using root unninstaller), and trying to remove another app that came installed in my Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos...
Can anybody help me with a solution that doesn't need programing and/or advanced knowledge of Android? All works fine, except I cant install any apps, from Google Play or other source...
Help needed really really bad...
Thanks to you all

Seems You are rooted, on what Rom you are just download it, extract it, go into system->app find DownloadProvider.apk Fix permission to rw-r-r, reboot, done..:thumbup:
Yap, I'm rooted (that was hard for me but managed it lol).
So, I don't know what ROM i'm using (and even were to find it or one to my mobile).
To extract it, what program should I use? because I can't install anything without the app I've deleted by accident...
To go to System->app, I must use an app to do hat, right?... same problem, can't install...
Damn, i'm stupid to have deleted it...

Your respected thread is here.
Which region you belong select and download that through your computer, after downloading is finished, you'll find a zip file, open it by double cliking, go into system, then go into app, find DownloadProvider in app folder, drag directly it to your desktop, connect your mobile to computer, put DownloadProvider.apk in your SD card, detach from computer, if you have root explorer or efs file explorer, move this DownloadProvider.apk from SD card to System->app, fix permission to rw-r-r-, reboot, you are done:victory:

Thank you very very much _hito_
Just two more questions:
1) i'm in Portugal (Europe), what ROM should I choose?
2) I don't have root explorer or efs file explorer. would ZDBox do it? or how can I move it? with the built in explorer that came with the phone?
Thanks again

Well I'm quiet late but I was having this problem to and I figured it out.
>> Change the permissions of "/System/app" folder. When you can't change the permission of a file you might have to change the parent folder's permissions.
This worked for me...
Hope it helped
i have the same problem. . i will try your solution. . tnx

I also has this problem. Some application won't work propertly. I was looking for a solution and found the reason - wrong permissions on files and folders in Android\data\com.XXXX. Changing permission on the parent folder gave me a topic message. After i found a solution that work for me:
- stop your app
- move your app to the extSdCard.
Take it!

this worked for me bruh thank you man
I have two separate issues which I believe are caused by the same thing.
1. When I try to alter platform.xml in the /system/etc/permissions folder via ES File Explorer to enable 3rd party apps to have write capability to the SD card, the edit is unsuccessful and my phone reboots. When I pull a copy of the file to my PC, alter it, and then try to push it via ADB, the same thing happens. I previously used the ADB pull/push method to edit my hosts file and had success with that after doing it while in Recovery, but this time around both ways (in recovery and with the device booted up) result in my device rebooting. For the SD card fix, I've also tried the app that does it for you and encounter the same issue.
2. When attempting to update the SuperSU binary, the update fails my device reboots. This happens with either update method - normal and recovery.
So both issues seem to have the same root cause... my phone will not allow any editing of system files. Anyone have any suggestions?
For reference I'm on a Galaxy Note 4 (model SM-N910T) on T-Mobile.
Baseband version N910TUVU1ANJ7
Android version 4.4.4 (stock ROM)
Kernel version 3.10.0-2796035
Build number KTU84P.N910TUVU1ANJ7
I'm also running Wanam Xposed - not sure if that has anything to do with anything but just fyi.
Thanks
bump... anyone have any ideas?

Is your Phone is rooted? If yes:
place the altered .xml somewhere in your sd card.
1. Install an app called Total Commander.
2. Navigate to the location where your stock file is located.(delete it)
3. Now goto sd card where you placed your altered file.
4. Tap on Icon of the .xml file, You will see a green tick mark on it.
5. When your file is selected. Tap on Copy/Move to Icon.( u will see two files one on one with a blue arrow)
6. Now Click on '>>' button to browse the location where you have to Copy/Move the File.
7. Now Tap Copy if You want a backup placed in sd card of the file or move if you just want one file to be there.
(Through all the Process I am assuming that your phone is rooted and you Have Granted SuperUser permissions to Total Commander)

I'm assuming this will end with the same result as when I try it through ES File Explorer. ES has the same capability and I have given it root access already. Something is causing all attempts to alter system files to fail, regardless of root access.

This was not successful. Anyone else have any ideas? I tried posting logs in the SuperSU update failure thread, with the logic that if I get that issue fixed my other issue will be resolved also, but Chainfire hasn't responded to any of the requests in a while.
Hello friends, I bring good news.
Yes! It is possible to install Cerberus as a system app. (Even if it's rooted with Magisk)
Yes, Cerberus will survive a factory reset. And your device will be traceable after a factory reset.
Obviously the device will not be tracked if the system partition is deleted. Tested only on my Xiaomi Mi A3, Android 9 (Pie).

FOLLOW THE STEPS:
1. Download the RS File Manager app (To get root access, you must buy the premium version. Maybe in the future this function does not require purchase.); Alternatively, you can try the procedure with some other root file manager, I don't know if you will succeed;
2. Open the RS File Manager and find the option Root explorer. Tap on it and select Mount R/W;
3. Download the Cerberus app (Disguised version), after all you don't want the Cerberus app to be recognized by others, am I right?)
4. In RS File Manager navigate to the /System/priv-app folder and create a folder called Cerberus;
5. Now just paste the APK you downloaded in the Cerberus folder that you created;
6. Within the Cerberus folder, hold your finger on the APK file, then select more -> properties -> change permissions. Now change the permissions to rwx r-x r-x (I will attach a screenshot to help them - On your device it can be different, in this case just look at the permissions of the other folders in System/Priv-app. Then use the same permissions.);
7. Go to /data/dalvik-cache/ and delete all the content inside the dalvik-cache folder. DO NOT DELETE THE DALVIK-CACHE FOLDER.
8. Reboot your device;
After the device restarts, Cerberus will already be on your list of apps;
Enjoy it!
Hi @FredMontteiro
Did the App settings survive? Did the tracking actually work post factory reset?
The settings do not survive, but the device could be tracked perfectly.
