Accidentally deleted touchwiz on gf's gs3. PLZ help before she wakes up ! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey developers,
I just signed up here for the problem on title... Tried to help her out cuz she complained her fone was always slow and this happened lol.
Now it's all black on the homescreen... I can still scroll down the top part tho.
I tried downloading other launchers through adb and installed it but it just crashes.
What can I do without messing up the fone ?!

You said you "deleted" touchwiz so I am assuming that the phone is rooted.
Just flash a custom recover (you will find one in the development forum) then a launcher using that recovery.
Press thanks if I helped

Actually I fixed it through going in to titanium backup again.
I restored the touchwiz but I guess it only works if u have it backed up.

Rom manager major problem!

Long story short: I soft bricked and went back to stock.
Rooted phone.
Then on rom manager I pressed flash clockwork.
Then selected vibrant. That's where the problem is.
It says error occured when downloading and that's it.
I'm stuck on stock how can I make this work or will it work if someone gives me their update.zip?
Also if that works can someone give me their update.zip?
This is the first time I've had this problem and I haven't heard any similar problems so that's why I'm asking.
Thanks in advance.
Delete update.zip, Uninstall/reinstall cwm and try again on wifi

Nope still same problem.
Look in one of the other threads for the zip file and flash like normal

Custom rom selfmade

Everything without a problem but after flashing it stoped at the sammsung logo I didnt saw even the bootanimation. What have I done wrong? I didnt change anything expect from the apps.
P.S. I did it with the thread here in the development topic.

Sounds like you either removed something it needs, or didn't build the ROM together right.
They are bigger than nexus ROMs due to Touchwiz.
Hmm yeah but what is the problem? You said in your thread that you will made your own light rom how have you done it? Did it work? What could be an important app? I deleted the hole list from the angelom thread on page 19 or so and some other crap like livewallpaper. But I have deleted this apps before trough root explorer and everything worked fine.

OK it will be the putting together of the ROM that's the issue. Did you CWM flash?
No with heimdall because I cant create a flashable zip.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If you didn't even see the bootanimation that means the bootanimation isn't there or its corrupt. this means, you either got a problem while flashing, or the files are damaged while packing the file.

[Q] Rooting a no name android?

Hi all, not sure if this the completely right section but,
Back story: I had a HTC Legend and after an unfortunate weekend, the screen was shattered and thus I had no phone. I scoured ebay and found a no name android (as I wanted dual sim for ease of use) running 2.3.6. Now I had issues rooting my Legend, and so I wasn't keen on it with this phone, but I couldn't resist myself and I tried again with almost next to zero information about my phone.
All I can tell you basically is that it's running 2.3.6, a model number e1101_v73_jbl1ctp_a515 (although scouring of google provided me with chinese websites, and as such I assume that what it's running is similar to that of the Motorola XT91x series? If that helps). I've tried super one click (it hangs at step 7) and I've also tried '2.3.6 root'.
I'm not quite sure what I can do now, any further ideas or help would be appreciated!
If it's similar to motorola, maybe you could follow some of the phone's rooting methods?
I've considered that, but I'm worried it could brick the phone itself, which is something I don't want.
If you can't find out what make it is you will brick it by using a root tool designed for a different device

This is an absurd suggestion. You do realize that in order to nandroid you must be rooted? The OP is trying to root their device. They cannot even install a custom recovery if said custom recovery isn't made for their specific device. If the OP doesn't have any information about the device, how would they be able to find and install a recovery image made for the device?
i have some problem....... china phone, zoho A1103....and android 2.3.6
If u really want to root ur device at any cost then u must be ready to lose something if ur luck isn't wit u .. just remember one of our xda members quote "no risk no reward " so just trial and error method.. keep trying wit some other methods and don't know if it works but someone confirm this; if you r stuck in some step remove the battery go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache (factory reset) and reboot .. this way can save ur phone if its stuck while rooting.. try at ur own risk

1st,
go Bottom left icon set "Own Order" from those options
Next,
2nd,
go Lower Right icon with four blocks icon, click it. You will see apps floating~ and uninstall "X" for non-system apps. For placing like you want, just press-hold the application you want and move it to where you want it to be. Problem Solved

Haha i see. I don't see that problem, works perfectly in mine. Maybe because i used different ROM + xperiaHome Launcher and allowed to edit apps drawer row and column numbers? Perhaps you try flash other Home launcher (I currently using this nEW HOME launcher from this thread), and see whether that solves your problem or not? NOTE THAT THIS FLASH ZIP will overwrite your xPeria HomeLauncher. If not working, ROM might be the cause. Hope helps Sorry if i accidentally irritatated ya

BAHAHAHA lol no u didn't irritate me I shall try that link of urs. I'm on stock 2.3.3 rom. Do u think I will run into some sorta error? And that link ...I'm supposed to flash via xrec?

Haha thanks i'm glad Okay sure, go on. You can see launcher's screenshots from that post. It's zipped in attachments
1) Yeap, download it and place it under ur sd card. Then power off your phone and boot to xrecovery.
But as measurement, i advice you make backup in xrecovery for your Stock ROM's data before flashing anything (in future reuse like easier to unlocking bootloader and so on)
2) Flash it using "install custom zip from sd card". I don't think you will reach error for installing that launcher. It will overwrite original stock home launcher. When completed, reboot phone.
3) Once reboot, patience needed. Need time to execute new Launcher for first reboot
4) If your problem still remain, last option you may have to install another custom ROM to solve it(problems may cause by stock rom script/xml errors) Anyway good luck and enjoy
If can, pls kindly hit thanks button as an appreciation Will be Very Much appreciated
And also thanks to X10forevers senior for providing the launcher too
sincerely,
whitefang

You've probably had a solution to your problem, but just for anyone else with this problem, check out a pc app, windows to be specific, called "apk installer" .I'm pretty sure it will help.
Goolauncher is a better alternative besides CWM. It is a browser for custom roms and a installer all in one!
I use it and when it is in recovery (Teamwin) you can leave your phone on the charger!
It is very solid and stable.
I use it every time when I update my Cyanogenmod!
I hope this helps!

Well, just dwonload a rom on your pc (can be stock firmware too) then plug your phone into your pc, and navigate the file into the root of your phone. Reboot your phone into recovery mode (VOLUME U P+POWER+HOME) and select the file to boot, BAM yout device should work properly again now
If this helped you, please hit thanks

You can hear the lock sound, see the screen brightness changing But you won't see the UI. All you can see is he wallpaper. So obviously am blindly interacting with the controls having memorized their locations.
