[Q] Android Recovery/ Recover Sistem files - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I have a chinese Android, which however much I tried I have not found the name (I understand it is a problem). The fact is that it fell into the my hands a couple of months ago and couldn't resist to play with it. I think accidentally deleted some system files as root. Since then it doesn't synchronize any service automatically. Althoug as it's Chinese I can not synchronize the GPS (I'm from Europe). To say that I've tried everything so I have de following question:
System Restore is not going to solve anything because as I said I deleted root files (besides I've already tried). Would it be possible to reinstall my original version of Android in some way? Taking advantage, could settle a Western version with the European GPS settings?
Thanks in advance!

Any help?

help please

[Q] Factory reset / complete wibe with a broken screen !!

Hi everyone,
First I am no expert, but I've been going through all possible forums for a solution to my problem with no easy solution. I've cracked my screen on my Samsung SII i9100 (current firmware version: I9100JPKG2/I9100OJPKG1/I9100XXKF1/I9100JPKG2 DBT). I have replaced the Firmware once a year ago through Odin as I needed to access different languages no available on the original firmware. I think it is not rooted! If it is then it wasn't intentional . Now I am trying to send it for repair. The phone still connects to USB and Kies and through it I managed to delete all contacts, pictures and media. I accessed the internal memory and cleaned up all folders I previously placed on it, but didn't have the guts to go further through what looked like system or application folders.
Now I need to wipe all the account data, memos, and applications. Since I have no visibility, I tried a hardware factory reset like 5 times but it never worked, I've confirmed that. Read a couple of times about something called "adb" and how I maybe can wipe such data through it, or maybe use my computer monitor as a screen! Despite a whole day of reading and downloading and trying stuff, didn't manage to get it right.
If anybody has a solution for this problem, please don't spare on details, flying blind is difficult
Thanks in advance

[Q] bootloader unlock password- Huawei G630-U00

hello,
I couldn't find any other forum to discuss about this version of Huawei mobile phone. I really need help since the last legitimate EMU update ruined the whole system and now my new mobile phone that I have never had a chance to use it is like a trash device... I hope someone here can help me to recover it since i tried all ways I found on internet.
I bought this mobile from China and bring it to Europe. Since I wanted to remove some chinese default software (that wasn't basic software but really annoying), I used an app and rooted the mobile phone. so I removed some of chinese stuff and installed some of good software. Everything worked fine and I tested skype and I had high resolution picture with 8 Mega pixel camera. I tested all its functionality and it was really good...
I noticed that there is a new legitimate update for this OS, since I still didn't have any sd memory, I couldn't have a backup of this old system and this was a big mistake...
anyway... I let it do the legitimate update for EMU... but immediately after reboot, I noticed that Camera and bluetooth are out of functions... so I first thought the problem is with bluetooth configuration but I was wrong since the internal memory was read only and no longer available.
I formatted the internal memory via computer (the part which was available) but no luck... I bought a sd card and changed the storage from internal to external but this didn't help to function bluetooth and camera...
I had a back up from /system/apps and then removed manually the bluetooth.apk and also its odex file. then restarted the system, clear dev cache and tried to install bluetooth.apk again. but I received error message and couldnt' do that. so again I copied those file back to its location.
So bluetooth turns on now, can send signal but for receiving or sending file, it fails, It can also pairs with other device.. So I thought it should be something related to permissions. I again checked the bluetooth permissioin on /etc/permissions/platform.xml and notice they are ok.
I changed the permission of storage and added the external storage to the list and added group storage_rw.
but this also didn't solve the problem with camera and bluetooth.
several times reset to factory mode didn't solve the problem...
I tried to hack the bootloader but I could not unlock it... I sent all information to [email protected] and asked them to send me bootloader password and provide them with all detail information about the device and accepted that the device is out of warrant but I received no response...
I installed "safe system remover apps" and after having backup of Gallery2.apk, I uninstalled it (it is related to camera and all gallery information)... but with no luck I could install it again...
So, I am really hopeless now since I don't know whatelse I can to do... the system doesn't functioning and I need to load on it the custom ROM but the device only can go to fastboot and cannot load the recovery mode anymore and factory reset from the UI is only reset the mobile to fastboot without doing anything else.
I tried to run the factorymode.sh from the device but I receive error messages to access some files such as bluetooth parameters/power
I couldn't myself find this file on the directory that it looks for.
I would really appreciate it if you can tell me any way that I can unlock the bootloader from the device (because outside of the device I tried different applications but with no luck...)
I have a cutom ROM for G630-U20 (not exact version for this device but almost similar) and if I can have a bootloader password I can try this one or any other customized ROM.
I would appreciate any way that you can show me to solve the problem.... either by changing permissions to solve this problem.
Thank you.

Decrypting Whatsapp DB (crypt8) questions

Hello guys,
this is my first post on this forum (sorry for my poor English, I'll try to write my best), and I'd really like to ask you some advice about my situation.
I used to have an Android 2.3.3 device and Whatsapp installed on it, regularly updated (I still have it, but I'm not using it).
Almost a month ago I bought a new device, with Android 4.4.4 installed, and I immediately put WhatsApp on it.
Before removing SD from the old phone, i saved my backup file OLD.db.crypt8, in order to let the "new" whatsapp restore my messages. Unfortunately, a month passed before i could be able to think about restoring my old messages.
Thus, i have accumulated (?) a month of messages, and i "backup-ed" them in a MIDDLE.db.crypt8 file.
I already managed to decrypt the "middle" db.crypt8 file (extracting the key file from my android 4.4.4), but don't know how to decrypt the OLD.db.crypt8 file.
OLD, in fact, comes from Android 2.3.3, as said, and i got no key file
My final goal is, after decrypting all three databases (OLD, MIDDLE and "NEW" - provided that NEW is the database i'm "growing up" on my phone at the moment), merging the three databases in an only database (and this is possible with the XDA guide i already have read)
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much
Up! Please help
No chance for me?

Chinese Characters in Android System Files (Accounts.db)

This is my first post here so please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area or if this has been addressed before. I searched the forums and didn't seem to find anything related.
I have several rooted Android devices. Today I was installing some apps to my wife's phone from my Google account. Upon deleting her Accounts.db file I noticed the entire document was in Chinese while my phone was in English. I've done this process before and I don't recall the files on her phone being in Chinese at that time. We both have the Note 3. Upon adding my account to her phone I went back in to check the remade file which again was in Chinese. Even after deleting my account and adding hers back the remade file remains in Chinese. I notice this on our tablet now too. The Accounts.db-journal file is also in Chinese on these devices but still in English on my personal device. I checked some other files on each device which are all in English. I factory reset our tablet and rooted again just a few days ago so I can't imagine a virus causing this but it does seem strange. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
Can anyone validate whether or not this is normal? Should these files be in English or Chinese or is it normal to be both?
Thanks in advance for any info!

Need stock apps from android 4.1.2

So I have a tablet of some Polish company called Overmax. The model is Solution 10+. I needed to speed it up so i planned to flash the original firmware again. But it was impossible as i couldnt find it. It might be a clone of some chinese tablet but I don't know which one. :/
Anyway i decided to root it and delete some stock apps but I probably deleted too much (even stock contacts.apk) beacuse when entering facebbok or messenger gives me an error "android.process.acore stopped working". I saw some posts saying that I should clear storage contacts data but it didnt help. Probably beacuse I don't have the proper apks to begin with...
So if anyone could provide me with these i'll be thankful (mainly contacts.apk and maybe sms apk)
The tablet is rooted atm so it wouldnt be a problem to replace them.
