[Q] Urgent help! Root folder deleted! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I own a rooted THL w8s.
Today, I accidentally deleted a folder from the root menu.
The story is this one; I was trying to install an app but it would fail installation. So I read in here that if i moved the apk file in the root browser/data/app it would then get installed.
So I copied the file, went to the app folder but I couldn't find how to paste it. So I exited the app folder, long pressed it and a menu popped up that had the choice move. Unfortunately, what was moved was the app folder from the root menu and now no app is working! Worse than that, is that Google Play isn't available any more!
Any solutions?
Thanks

Weird that that would affect the Play Store since it isn't located in /data/app. But if a factory reset doesn't help, then you will have to reload the stock OS. I imagine it would need to be done with the SP Flash Tool since it's a THL and I'm assuming a MediaTek chip.

Thanks for your answer.
I tried to factory reset it (shut down button + volume up) but it shows a dead android!!
I am a newbie at that, could you give me more detailed info or a link with step by step guide, please?

Hi again,
I've followed the instructions shown in the link. However, 5 minutes later, the red bar has not started loading yet.
Is it normal?

Don't think so. Check your Device Manager to make sure that your PC has loaded the drivers correctly.

Drivers are ok!
Any chance that the app folder I deleted contained any necessary files for that?

Nope. The whole idea of the flash tool is to be able to reload the OS. Doesn't matter that you did that or had a custom rom and recovery on it, it should still rewrite the OS back to it. But I don't work on MediaTek devices at my shop because hardly anyone buys them around here so I just know this stuff from reading lots of other posts. There are TONS of guides and how-to videos. You'll probably need to check some of them out and see if you are missing something or are in the wrong mode for the program to start. Any device that has the same chipset as your phone will have the same instructions for reloading the OS, just with the appropriate files for yours.

TB folder on PC, locks PC up

Not too sure if this belongs in Q and A... But I have a Titanium Backup folder copy on my PC. Well, when I try to delete the folder it causes the program to "not respond". So I bring up task manager and "end task". It then closes everything on my PC, and all the desktop icons disappear. There's nothing other then the wallpaper. Only thing that still works is task manager. Restart PC, try again. Same thing. Happens when I put the folder in recycle bin, or by deleting just some of the folder contents. I did some spring cleaning on the PC today, and this is the only problem I've had and its consistant, and specific to this folder. Any ideas on how to delete it?
Use Astro/file explorer/Root broswer to delete it from your device.
That would probably work to get it off my phone, but the problem is on my PC. when I was in newb stages I had a backup of a backup on my PC. It's just this one TB Backup file on my PC that is causing problems and wont delete.
You could move all the files to a folder except the TB Backup and just format the sd card. that could help.
Virus scan your pc, if you haven't already. Or boot into safe mode and that should allow you to delete the file. Or you could do a system restore.

Yeah, did a scan and it didn't pick anything up. But I had a hell of a trojan about a month ago and I was thinking it could possibly have to do with that. Although I did a very deep clean. I will give safe mode a shot. I got the PC from my parents with a bunch of virus/trojan issues only a few months ago, and because of all the cleaning and the other trojan I got....I'm not too positive a system restore will be good. I was going to create a new restore today since all has been great....until this.
Ok sounds like some spyware or malware. As said before boot into SAFE MODE, but select the SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING. Go to http://www.superantispyware.com/ download the free version. Install it, then run superanti spyware. Select to do a COMPLETE SCAN not quick scan. On the next screen select HIGH BOOST and scan inside of ZIP files, which will use most of your cpu it will run about 80% just let it run because it will slow down anything else you try to do. After it is done get rid of the bad files, tracking cookies and/or any trojans left. Reboot the computer, but into safe mode with networking again. Then go to http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and download the free version and install. Run the complete scan in malwarebytes. Let that run and when it finishes is will ask for a reboot. Reboot, again and you should be good to go. I have seen this on teachers computers at least weekly, because of the stupid Ransom WARE. If that doesn't work than my last suggestion would be download combofix from bleepingcomputer and run that. Hope this helps a lil

Yeah, I did something like this in order to get the last trojan off. I tried/have a million virus/anti-malware programs, of course only one active now which is the malwarebytes one. The trojan I had was a Win32/Sirefef one, can't remember specifically which one. But I did have to do a combo fix and I continued to check for about a week after....all was good.

Thank you all for the ideas/help. Much appreciated! Won't be back to the PC until tomorrow, will let you know what I find.
Update... Ran multiple virus scans and nothing showed up on any of them. Tried deleting folder in safe mode, but it still froze up without any icons. Still did the same if I tried erasing only one of the files in the TB folder itself. Permissions were set normal, as other files that I erased with no issues. Ended up erasing all my other phone backups (twrp, etc...) that were in the "BACKUPS" folder, the same folder the TB folder was in. Then I erased the "BACKUPS" folder itself with the TB one in it, and that seemed to do it. Definetly weird, but at least I got it deleted.
Your asking I. The wrong place buddy. This is for EVO 3d questions.
Have you tried to even search about it.

what you need to do to avoid all this is just download any linux live version... i personally use hirens boot cd 15... once downloaded take the image and either burn it do a cd or use a linux installer... i use pendrivelinux load that up and let it install your boot cd to your usb thumb drive....once that is completed reboot your computer and as it reboots have it load the usb drive first once that loads up you then can boot into partition magic and use linux's permissions and rights to over take windows permissions does that all automatically.... from there you right click and delete....need help or info feel free to pm me

I'm asking in the wrong place...is that what u meant? Read from the original post. If it was that far out of the wrong place, it would more then likely have been moved by now. I always search, and search for awhile before posting. It seemed somewhat relative to me do to the fact the file came from my evo3d, and is a file made by an android app everyone rooted uses. I was also aked yo give an update on the problem.

Thanks, this was originally what I was after...but in a windows software program. BUT....I will more then likely do this anyway. Slowly working the noob out...but there's SOOOOOOOOO much to learn (still), I feel overloaded sometimes. I'm in the process of downgrading hboot on the 3d, and downgrading iOS and performing a jailbreak on my old 3g so the boss and kids stop whining at how slow it is and why there's still a phone button on it...lol.

[Q] can't get token id on htc desire x

hi guys, i'm new in this forum, and i'm new to android too, i just bought a htc desire x and want it to be root, but i have problem when trying to get token id in hasoon2000 HTC Desire X All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [1-1-2013], it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file.
usb debugging is already connected, please any one kindly fixing my problem, thx
sorry for my bad english. btw i'm from indonesia
Did you follow these steps?
How To Use. THIS IS FOR THE PC ONLY. No plans ever for Mac or Linux. Sorry.
1. Download the toolkit DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER
2. Download Winrar from here. Install it after you download it
3. Extract the folder anywhere.
4. Run the program.
thx for replying so quick, after i downloaded then i extract to desktop and just run the program by clicking the symbol written as desire, am i doing it right?
Try to unpack it somewhere else on a root of some partition of your PC, try to unpack it to non system partition.
ok thx, i'll try it tomorrow, i'm sorry i've to go home coz it's 11.41pm already in my town, and i'm still on friend's house.
thx anyway for your reply, i'll let you know the progress
hi nlooooo, i did what u told me to do and it worked, i unpacked to (Cdrive, but another problem came on my device when i clicked get token id.
here is the picture shows the problem
@nlooooo.....i just tried your way on rooting this device, and same problem came up on step 8 when getting token id, still it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file, i've found out my device still locked, is it because of the device still lock? here's the image shown
problem solved
hi nlooooo......i've rooted my device, just try to put all the downloaded file to C:drive, and followed your tutorial on your thread, and i succeeded, at least i saw superuser on my device, thx alot for your tutorial.
No problem, that's why we're here. If you see it then it should be it. Try to install some app that requires root privileges (Titanium Backup for ex) and see if it can get SU rights.
hi.....any recommendation of apps or what to do after this rooting? cos i really a noob in android and root things. thx

Go and open Superuser app, swipe to first screen and see if the binary is installed. Then go and clear data for Titanium and open it again.
If you still have the problem use some root explorer to check folder system/bin if there is a file named su.

[Q] Help with Lelus on windows 8.

I have been able to get the update tool software to flash the kdz file and I over right the bin in the process.
The phone flashes fine. But, after flashing I still have no root at all. I'm following every step by step instruction.
dismantlehands said:
I'm so happy that the Lelus Root method works. But, not for me. I have no other machine to use this method on that does not run windows 8.
When I attempt to put the phone in Software update mode when trying to flash the kdz file, windows 8 crashes because of driver issues. Has anyone else had this issue? Or could maybe point me in the right direction into fixing this so i can obtain root for my L9? :highfive: Team work guys, team work. *self five*

since that is the case, im even more confused now than ever.
I have tried uninstalling drivers and everything, still crashes. Fresh install is not an option seeing I have no way to backup my data.

Not sure the situation of your window 8 and no one can help you without proper details, but my friend, in my humble opinion your title "[Q] Lelus root method crashes windows 8" is sort of misleading and may be scaring people from using Lelus method. It sounds like you are telling people that "Lelus root method crashes windows 8, so dont use it."
Make it "[Q] Please help! Why Lelus root method is not working on my windows 8?" to be more precise.
Are sure your clicking the network test flash button? Do not click the start button right under the kdz browser folder thing. There should be a button on the lower right hand. Also run the prgram in compatibility as administrator.

my win8 laptop has a few runtime errors during the flashing process itself, and I have to reboot afterwards, but never something as bad as this. you may be experiencing other problems not related to this phone.
may not be the BEST solution but you could always download tinyXP and virutalbox and try everything in a virtual machine..........
Yea there also virtual xp you can use. I believe is from windows website. Try with cousins or friends computer? Maybe theres will work.
Re: [Q] Lelus root method crashes windows 8
Have you tried other cables? Have you used the other usb ports on your system? Have you checked device manager on your laptop to see if there are other devices with errors? Have you gone to your manufactures Web site to see if there are new drivers or an updated bios?

Switching it from the usb 3.0 port to the 2.0 port worked. I successfully got the phone in s/w mode to run with the software update tool. After the tool finishes my phone reboots. Still no root..... I am following every step....
Its all Security and Compatibility issue. Yesterday, I have done some changes in my Root Guide.
======================
2) Download Root_and_Flash_Guide_byCMahendra(date).zip file (attached with this post) and extract in your C-Drive.
Now you will get three folders named "C:\RootLelus" and "C:\RootFlash" and "C:\shttps"
If these folders need any permissions you should provide in folder security section by adding user "everyone" or "<yourname>" and give full access. (example video) This is Optional and should be done if you have permission errors while flashing. Do it for all three folders.
==================
Also run EXE files with WindowsXP compatibility mode and Run As Administrator, if any trouble. In fact I never did this. Just a suggested workaround.
STILL NOTHING IS GUARANTEED AND MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU.
Do some trial and error and you tell us.:good:

unable to change themes

Hello.
I was forced to reinstall firmware due to phone issues.
Now I'm again with root and TWRP.
Firmware is on nougat, version c900b300 but many files are missing.
In particular, themes cannot be applied even if I can download them.
I followed a procedure suggested for the Mate 8 but with no results.
Is someone able to help me?
I think this is not a post for q&a section.
Otherwise please move it.
Thanks.
Ah, even the ringtones folder is empty, but this is not a big issue...
Try these 2 methods
1 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/help/solved-huawei-gr5-2017-honor-6x-problem-t3606037
2 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/help/theme-issue-5-0-upgrade-t3579812/page2
First method pushed FM spk in data folder, I rebooted but no FM radio app shows up.
Regarding second method, Google drive file doesn't exist.
I hope to be able to install Oreo when available through TWRP.
Now I don't have the updater and I'm not receiving ota update from Huawei. Unfortunately I'm stuck with March security updates
Dammit, I'm out of ideas at the moment. Plus, i didn't knew that even updater was missing... You wanna try with an apk of mine extracted?
of course mate.
Now I'm more relaxed, as I understand that is better just playing with this phone. I'm not gonna put job related files anymore in, so if something happens, I can recover easily.
Baaaaaaaaad phone...
Ah, sorry if I forgot to mention that I miss A LOT of file. Basically all the crapware like Health or Huawei related bullshits, updater, ringtones, themes are not installing. Cannot even load a different wallpaper.
But I have nougat base and patches till March.
Better than nothing!
Ringtones= thank you Zedge to exist!
Themes= amen, I can live with it

For Huawei bloatware it's surely a positive thing if you don't care, since that those results "well" radicated into system and aren't easy to remove. For all the rest, looks like you are on a firmware build that was created to another build, and so causes various incompatibilities... But it's the worst case that i saw, except bricking related cases maybe a rebranding to an other variant, with the flash of another firmware could solve at least the missing apps issue. Anyway, i uploaded the updater apk; after all i don't think it'll works sincerely neither making it a system app with apps or modules like systemizer, if all those issues are present already... But in the worst case here, you'll just get an install failure due to an apk version that doesn't match your first, initial build. Try for fun, i would say.
Thank you for the tips.
Even if I read on this forum (honor in general) many different opinions regarding how to flash a Rom with twrp...and sometimes even with dload method.
I mean: it seems to me that with twrp is compulsory to flash the zip with "PV" only, even if many disagree
With dload, unzip the folder and better to put all the files, not only the .app one inside...
Am I right?
By the way, the updater apk should be put inside what folder? Of course it cannot be installed normally (file corrupted)
You can use apps like Link2SD, but if the file looks corrupt (had this problem too when i accidentally deleted compass app time ago) it means that doesn't matches your build number. You could try by installing a version that matches your actual build.

Yes, with dload method, you need to flash all files available in zip to get everything working, i tries this and everything worked for me without anything missing.
For flashing zip, yes it is PV files that can be flashed via Twrp
The problem, as far as I know, is that now Huawei stopped releasing ROM files and even the .ru website now will have problems to collect files...

Hey, i have had the same Problem with the theme changer - found this solution which just take 1 minute
Themes:
- I downloaded the Huawei Tool from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-bootloader-root-t3470823
- enable USB-Debugging connect your phone to the PC and start the tool
- choose "7" for utilities
- after that choose "12. Install /data/hw_init (Mate8,P9,P9 Plus)" and confirm
- after reboot the theme change will work again!
Will it work on honor 6x? The hw data is only for p9 ,isnt it?

I want to pull a savegame from the root folder without rooting.

Hello.
I'm trying to copy a savegame from my phone (Mi9 Lite) so I can use it in Bluestacks for when I'm home.
I know it's location but it's in user/0/ as a com. and I only know because I can access it in Bluestacks.
I do not want to modify it so I just need read rights. Mixplorer doesn't do the trick.
Is there a way? How do apps even access the root folder when I can't.
Notes: Within the game main menu there is an option to upload and download save files to the Google Play cloud but unfortunately I cannot sign in in this game anymore. The reason is that I have modified it yesterday with 8x Speeder. If I remove the hack my offline save will be wiped again. Therefore I have to somehow access user/0/ and it's designated com. so I can back that up. Since i have no issues with Google Play itself I take it it has do with the Speedhack.
Before I modified the apk with 8x Speeder, I made legitimate purchases and those purchases were actually pulled from the Play Store but now I simply cannot sign in anymore inside of the game. Outside of the game I'm stilled logged on and have no issues. I have tried wiping the cache in both the game and the Playstore.
If you are going to ask why I used an app modifier in the first place, my first save was wiped when I had progressed for over 50 hours and I was mad as hell. Since the game is pretty much auto offline I enjoy it very much and would like to be able to backup my savegame so I can use it on Bluestacks.
Hello,
For what I understood your best hope would be to use ADB to pull these files. No need for root here I guess, only enabling developer mode and USB debugging.

Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately pull in adb gives me a permission error

That's what I feared. Try to see if you using the ADB (deprecated) backup utility helps. But I think the only valuable way would still be root, or at least a custom recovery to pull the file
