UP920 Looking for install logs / unwanted app keeps getting reinstalled - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I recently got an android 4.4.2 phone ( "uhappy up920" ) and I can't find any logs or any way to see WTF is going on. An application that wasn't originally included ( "Maxthon Cloud Browser" ) keeps getting reinstalled and I can't figure out how / why.
( Phone isn't / probably can't be rooted )
Any hints?
edit:
- the unwanted "maxthon cloud browser 4.1.4.2000" is an obsolete version that does not show up in play store or in f-mod when it's installed.
- "Avira" and "App install tracker" both show when it's getting installed, but offer no hints on how to find out why/how it is installed
- Sometimes it gets reinstalled only a few minutes after I remove it, sometimes it takes a few hours.
- After uninstalling the unwanted Browser, I can't locate any traces of it in the part of the file system I can access with an unrooted adb connection
- Can't find any connections to suspicious sources from the phone in my router's iptables logs either (there are no SIM cars in the phone) - then again, that's sort of hard since I don't know what to look for
- Kernel is 3.4.67, build date Mon Mar 2 12:35:55 CST 2015 - which probably leaves me with no working exploits for easy privilege escalation?
- Fastboot + the bootloader unlock function etc seem to be intentionally broken and it almost looks like I'm the only person in the world using this phone so, no idea how to get around that + more access to stuff
The only way I know how to get rid of "Maxthon Cloud Browser" and whatever/whoever keeps reinstalling it would be with a hammer, so any alternative suggestions are appreciated!

Found an installation file in a download directory under the name "com.mx.browser.mtk4.1.4.2000.apk" (no idea how I missed that earlier)
Deleting that wasn't enough to stop the browser from being reinstalled, so I copied + renamed a random mp3 (cut to have the same size with dd) to replace the file. Since then, it has not been reinstalled.
I've been waiting for the file to be replaced or at least for error messages concerning the "corrupted executable" to pop up somewhere and give away which service was the culprit, but so far there were none. So I'd guess whatever installed the browser is rather quiet and rather sloppily coded :/

[Q] Applications not working - Not signed with trusted certificate

This is my first post, so apologies if this is in the wrong place or has been asked before (I have searched and found some answers, but none of these worked)
Basically, last night whenever I tried to use an application on my HTC HD2 I was getting the following error message:
"The file xxx cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one if its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
In searching for the solution, a lot of people are saying that I need to edit the reistry. (Specifiaclly HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies DWord = 0000101a - Change value from 0 to 1)
I have tried downloading the recommended registry editors on the forums (Resco Explorer etc.) but am unable to install because the "program is from an unknown publisher." I click yes to get pass this initial message, like I always have done in the past, and the following is displayed:
Installation was unseccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed beacause it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate."
I have also tried using a program recommended called CeRegistryEditor and using my PC via ActiveSync to edit the registry, but am getting an error message "Access Denied!".
Does anybody know any other way of editing the registry? Am I actually doing the right thing? Are there any security settings that I need to disable to allow CeReistryEditor to edit the registry?
This is really bugging me, I have only been without my apps for about 12 hours throughout the night but it is hard to live without them!! I REALLY don't want to perform a hard reset and will do anything to avoid this!
When I get this I just remove evertyhing to do with it on the phone and re download it (the cab file usually) and it seems to work.
thanks for your reply. I have tried this but when I try and reinstall I am getting the message: Installation was unseccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed beacause it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate.
I think that the security settings have been changed, but I cant see how to change them with editing the registry which I am struggling to do
Can I ask what app you are trying to install? Or is it any app?
Multiple Apps that were running OK yesterday, but not today. I think it is all the apps that I have downloaded from Omarket.... Omarket isnt working either!
Hi,
Any luck on this. I m also facing similar issue after installing Android on my HD2.
I have the exact same issue after running Android from SD card. No application (non-stock ones) are working anymore. Like 3rd party certificates are being blocked or something...
For everyone with this problem, download Mobile Registry Editor and connect your phone to your PC via USB, then start the Editor and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies" and search for the DWord "0000101a" and change the decimal to "1", that will fix your problem. This problem happens to me if I "reboot" while in Android instead of turning the phone completely off and then back on.
Edit: Added link to download.
As a side note, I always did this to mine while running Windows Mobile, then booted Android after fixing the registry.
and when this is not possible
Hi,
i have the same issue after loading android from the sd-card.
But, i am not able to change the reg, access denied, also with ceregistry unlock tool.

Hi,
I also have the same issue after loading android from the sd-card. I have also re-installed the stock rom and the problem still persists. Im also unable to install any reg editors as keep getting the "not signed with a trusted certificate".
I read that a cooked rom may be a solution around this but I liked the set up I had and wanted to keep my original rom so any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lee
Exactly the same problem.
Non-stock programs not working after failed boot of android from SD card, and I'm unable to change any registry entries either. Practically I'm locked out of my phone, just the basic functions working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if forget where I originally found this link (its on xda some place)
http://www.internet-tools.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sda_unlock.zip
but run this first and you no longer get the access denied when using the mobile registry editor , hope it helps.
I have the same problem, just remove the program that was not working, pull out your memory card , then delete the files in the sd card except the application installer, hard reset your phone, and remember to go to SETTINGS-UPDATES&FEEDBACK-ERROR REPORTING-DISABLE ERROR REPORTING, and turn off your phone, put in the memory card and turn your phone on and install the application one by one, the application installed will work as normal, Good Luck, remember to back up your data before hard reset

[Q] Toshiba AC100 and Android Market

Hi,
I own a toshiba ac100-10d which is the model with only wifi (no 3g) and android 2.1, which unfortunately comes with no android market preinstalled. I tried to install one using one of the many packages which you can found online. The problem comes, when I try to login in my gmail account. It says "can't extablish a reliable data connection" and it doesn't login into the account. If I try to login via youtube it creates the account but it doesn't sync it. I have moderate experience with android so you can easily tell me what I have to do. Do you think it would be possible to install the market on this ac100?
Thanks to anyone who will help me!

It would be possible if I can get him into recovery menu. Just working on it as if it could still do that I have uploaded some files to the inside. Root can be done by z4Root 1.3.0.apk. Can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834428
I've made some headway
I have installed some files from cyanogenmods tegra compiled gapps + a newer vending.apk(Market) and a diffrent Google Talk app.
I had the same problem you have, but this suddently resolved itself for reasons unknown
Gmail Works and syncs
Google Maps works
Market starts and is stable without forced close, but I can't download apps, and I get Google Talk Authentication errors wich I belive are related to the market issue (the error also appears without the talk.apk installed)
I've got a new talk.apk from a samsung galaxy s, but it will not complete the sign in process
I feel I am really close to cracking this one, but I'm really stuck.
If anyone is interested, I can post which apk files I've installed in the /system/app folder.
Oh, I forgot to say:
I've got the same 10d version without 3g, but mine runs the updated Android 2.2
So it appears that sometimes market init it works, sometimes not ... Strange
I played and did many factory resets to find the right way and now it works (triple checked!)
I have a ac100-114 (French, no 3g), with android 2.2 and rooted with z4root.
(For anyone playing with adb : before doing anything, make backups with the tegra tools, and be careful with this powerful tool!)
I also used a package from cyanogenmod : the gApps from tegra. (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Gapps#Google_Apps)
I looked into gAppsInstaller (here:
http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list and here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867303) to find what are the mandatory apps to install from the gApps cm package:
Into /system/app/
GenieWidget
GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
GoogleFeedback
GoogleServicesFramework
MarketUpdater
MediaUploader
NetworkLocation
Talk
Vending
Youtube *
Into /system/framework/
com.google.android.maps.jar
Into /system/lib/
libspeech.so
libvoicesearch.so
Into /system/etc/permissions/
features.xml
com.google.android.maps.xml
* I had to replace Youtube.apk (in attachment) : I don't know why, but the one from cm is not working and prevent, even without launching it, the login into the market. I retrieved it from my hd2 running android ;-)
Installing maps in /system/app prevents Market initialization.
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.
Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!
Enter a random username (very important!), a random password and click next.
The market should start checking and then tell you the login is wrong : good, it connected !
Now click back, then enter your google account and click next : the Market should accept it and show the license page.
Accept it, the market should appear a few seconds before foreclosing. Launch it again, it will forceclose again.
The third launch should be the right one !
You will get forcecloses right after each app installation, but nothing to worry about : the app stays and appears in the download section of the market
Gmail can be installed from the market.
Your contacts should be synchronized, Talk and Youtube should work.
Problems:
For maps you will have to get the apk somewhere else.
The calendar is missing.
@tharf
Your method works perfectly .. Thx for that. Only problem is that the service framework starts some kind of messaging service and that wakes the ac100 from standby every couple minutes.... I tried fixing that but couldn´t do it... ;0(
So this fix is kind auseless for me...
But keep up the good work... ;0)
FC reason is a
Code:
E/DatabaseUtils( 1547): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider uri content://com.google.settings/partner from pid=10019, uid=10069 requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS
for com.android.vending.
Does anyone has an idea how to fix android permissions, as it recreates /data/system/packages.xml if i change it?
Thanks for pointing out where is the FC cause !
I did some more tests, and it seems that if the packages.xml gets modified, followed by sync (just in case, I don't know anything about caching on the ac100), and then a kill -9 -1 is executed, the added permission stays, even if the packages.xml gets scrambled after reboot
For me it works : no more FCs
I found another thing : in order to see apps in the market that asks for the gps (maps, catch notes ...), just had this line to /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.location.xml, in the <permissions> tag :
<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
(Make a backup of the file first )
So the bottom part of the file should look like :
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.location" />
<feature name="android.hardware.location.network" />
<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
</permissions>
But in order to get it working, you will need to login to the market for the first time, so a factory reset is required
hey, sorry for the dumb question..
i´ve downloade z4root and clicked on temporarly root...after a few
secs the progress ran through and the ac100 rebooted.
now i tried to install the gAppsInstaller v5 for arcors but got the error message, that no files were copied.
how did you do this?
can you please poste a howto for dummies q.q?
you wrote"
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.
Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!"
didnt you install the googlemarket after the reset, did it remain :O?
thanks
Hi,
Good job at first for trying this amazing way to install gapps into Ac100.
In my experience, that method worked well, but it seems, after pushing the mandatory apk files to the system partition, and factory resetting, in the Toshiba device initiation settings, turning on wifi will keep the Google account settings connection from working.
I've been trying many times, only turning on wifi when google login process begins will work.
No idea why that happens.
Regards.
hey gus,
i´ve come this far
ehhm..the files you mentionend.. i have copied them into the right folders, but the won´t get installed, i get parsing errors..
can someone please upload the working files?
working apps:
maps.apk
youtube.apk

market on toshiba AC100
Hi Guys
I can confirm that google market is possible on AC100. Also Gmail, Talk and Maps is working fine :
Can anyone please post a guide to get gApps working? (Gmail / Vending) Maps works standalone, but as far as i can see, the others need something!
Like a user above, i can't root my ac-100, it freezes and restart. If it's not rooted, i can't access the folders tharf was talking about in a previous post.
Thanks
Ok, i've managed to solve somethings (hopefully everything)
Unfortunately to root my AC100, i used ADB (I installed SuperOneClick in a previous try, don't know if it helped or not).
ADB is a tool developed inside Android project, that allows developers to test their apps directly on their phones, rather than an emulator. There are plenty of tutorial to get it started, just google it! It's not easy at first, but was the only thing allowed me to copy the files.
For those familiar with this development tool, just plug the device (ac100) in and execute
"adb remount"
in a "cmd" shell (i worked under windows). it magically remounts your system partition in RW, instead of default RO. This way you can "adb push" the files tharf listed in his first post!
Next, follow his indications:
-factory reset (HOME button+POWER button), follow the system reset, press 1 to continue, wait a few minutes and it will reboot on his own, give it time.
-configure ac100, like the first time
-connect it to wifi
-open Market App (you'll find it on the Toshiba Home menu, in the end)
-connect with random user, let it fail the authentication, the use a real one, and you're good to go!
I installed a few apps, so far so good. Only thing to keep in mind: Market launches an error after installing an app. No worries, it's fine: just press OK and go on.
I was interested in Gmail app, so i "adb push"ed it from the beginning, and it worked at first try. Same for Talk, Contacts, Youtube and Maps (find the apk, it's not hard )
Thanks to all, hope this could help.
Toshiba AC100
I've afforded this laptop two days and so far where i updated and hadded
the portuguese language, but when i when in settings->language it simples does not exist.
I dont have anything against english, but i need at least the ortography.
I could use spannish but i rather have english
Every time I run market/gtalk,I get this Message:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Thnx a lot - got Market, Gmail, Maps, ... working too. Have only tested it for some minutes - but hope it will work forever
Very good especially as the Toshiba AC100 10V with UMTS is now really cheap here.
Still have the Market problem with crash after install/deinstall of an app.
Anyone tried the newer GoogleApps for Tegra from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912633
I tried to get rid of the market crash. So I did the following:
adb shell connect to /data/system after root
chmod 777 packages.xml
sync
kill -9 -1
But that didn't work I still get the crashes. Can you help me with more details what you mean with 'the added permission stays'?
Thanx in advance.
Firmware from the Russian community users of the AC100 Toshiba (android 2.2) All Google applications work fine(Market+Gmail+Tack)!
Different from the standard:
1. Root
2. Busybox 1.19
3. Google Apps, including the latest market (by 116(Toshiba AC 100-116- russian 3G+Wi-Fi+32Gb model) runs without any problems), SetupWizard works too
4. Jorte - perfect replacement calendar from Google, beautiful, seeing all the calendars
5. Ad Blocking
6. Titanium Backup
7. Terminal Emulator
8. New splash screen
9. Spare Parts
10. Easy selection of widgets
Installation in Windows:
1. Download the firmware
2. Unpack
3. Translating the device in boot mode (turn off, esc + control + power)
4. Install the driver from the archive
5. Run bat file from the archive (ac100flash.cmd)
6. We are waiting for the end of the loading and turning off the device while holding the button 10 seconds
7. Turn device, answer all the questions for 116 checking in via 3G.
8. Enjoy.

UD1..6RC2:
files are downloaded to /mnt/storage/download - if u downlaod a file with tabled - then copie to the update dir.
Otherwise make sure u use the windows disconnection function before remove the device to prevent corruption.
Google mail:
not sure if u mean that - but try:
long hold (like adding a widget) -> shortcuts -> email (or gmail,.. however it's named) -> select the account (will add a shortcut to the account directly)
Google music:
which version are u trying to use? some 3.x version worked fine - while I never got any 4.x version runnig propper on froyo - while runns fine on my gingerbread cellphone
PLEASE POST THIS IS GENERAL FORUM NEXT TIME AS ITS NOT DEVELOPMENT RELATED - Thank you
thanks for the help and sorry for posting in the wrong forum
sorted out the update
but i dont have gmail or email shortcut option ( i do have it when trying to replace an item in launcher bottom menu)
cheers

hmmm - only thing i can think of is trying reinstall gapps - e.g. using arctolls
just bricked my 101 so i can't look it up atm but the method described above works on my phone wiht launcher pro...
perhaps anyone else knows it better then me ?
good luck
will fix my device

Possible to install LGE Alarm/Clock app on a Samsung phone?

Does anyone with experience on the subject know whether it is possible (or im-possible) to install LG's OE Alarm/Clock app on a Samsung phone? The donor phone is an LG Optimus Fuel LGL34C on KitKat 4.4.2. The recipient phone is a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime S820L (Tracphone) on KitKat 4.4.4 and I am loathe to leave behind the stopwatch/timer function (Alarm/Clock) on my old LG. I want to transfer it over but I'm finding that's that's easier said than done.
I have found a number of websites offering a pre-packaged version that's supposed to be that app (LGAlarmClock.apk, or something close to it) sourced from a package of OE LGE apps. Unfortunately, I can't find one that will install. When I tried to install them, most of them failed from the get-go saying there was a problem parsing the file. One of them attempted to run, appeared to run normally but ended with "App not installed," existing package yadda yadda yadda. But I note that they were all of substantially different file sizes and I can't be sure any of them were for KitKat (but I know at least one was sourced from Lollipop).
So when these all failed, next I tried the App Transfer app, which is supposed to compile an installable apk from the files currently on the source phone. But when I tried to install it on the target phone, it did the "App not installed" thing again.
Then I tried a couple of PC-based data and application transference applications. One of them transferred everything except the proprietary LGE stuff, which it ignored, to include Alarm/Clock.
After than I decided to take a shot at installing it manually, so I searched the source phone for all instances of what appeared to be related files. This is what I arrived at:
/system/cust/overlay/app/com.lge.clock.apk
/system/lib/liblgomx_clock.so
/system/priv-app/LGAlarmClock.apk
/system/priv-app/LGAlarmClock.odex
/system/priv-app/LGClockWidget.apk
/system/priv-app/LGClockWidget.odex
/data/data/com.sika524.android.quickshortcut/cache/thumbnails/com.lge.clock:2130837606.0
/data/data/com.sika524.android.quickshortcut/cache/thumbnails/com.lge.appwidget.clock:2130837534.0
/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
/data/resource-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected]
The first file on the list was a problem because the Samsung doesn't have a '/system/cust' directory, much less '/system/cust/overlay/app.' However, it does have a '/system/app,' which is chockablock with apk files, so I stuck the file 'com.lge.clock.apk' in there.
All the others had a matching directory structure, except the shortcut thumbnail caches, which I gather were the result of the shortcuts I made on the LG phone and not required for the Samsung anyway. So I moved them to a corresponding location on the Samsung and gave them all 644 permissions, same as they were on the source phone, and same as all the other files in the same directories on the target phone.
After copying the files over and rebooting, the new app shows up in the App Drawer, and in the installed apps. Some of the functions work. The Stopwatch works. The Timer function runs but when it counts down to zero, the alarm doesn't sound and it displays the error, "Unfortunately, Alarm/Clock has stopped." If I access the Timer settings and try to change the volume, I get "Unfortunately, Alarm/Clock has stopped." If I try to change the time setting in Alarms, I get that same error. Also the same error if I try to add a city under World Clock. It's like it lacks the ability to activate the alarm tone, or to manage whichever file that stores its configuration settings.
Since the only real "wild card" in my set-up was the lack of the proper directory structure for the 'com.lge.clock.apk' file, I created a matching structure (where none existed before) with a symlink in '/system/cust/overlay/app' pointing back to /system/app/com.lge.clock.apk. That didn't work either so I deleted the link and replaced it with a copy of the file.
Still nothing changed so I gave all the new files 777 permissions, just in case there was a permissions thing I was overlooking. Zip, zilch, nada, bupkis.
So I'm outta bullets. Anybody got a spare magazine? Is it even possible?
did you ever figure this out?

The Timer function runs but when it counts down to zero, the alarm doesn't sound and it displays the error, "Unfortunately, Alarm/Clock has stopped." If I access the Timer settings and try to change the volume, I get "Unfortunately, Alarm/Clock has stopped." If I try to change the time setting in Alarms, I get that same error. Also the same error if I try to add a city under World Clock. It's like it lacks the ability to activate the alarm tone, or to manage whichever file that stores its configuration settings.
Since the only real "wild card" in my set-up was the lack of the proper directory structure for the 'com.lge.clock.apk' file, I created a matching structure (where none existed before) with a symlink in '/system/cust/overlay/app' pointing back to /system/app/com.lge.clock.apk. That didn't work either so I deleted the link and replaced it with a copy of the file.
Still nothing changed so I gave all the new files 777 permissions, just in case there was a permissions thing I was overlooking. Zip, zilch, nada, bupkis.
So I'm outta bullets. Anybody got a spare magazine? Is it even possible?

This is a very very important App to this day.
Here it is 2021 it's very imperitive. For one reason.
It has a PUZZLE option for the Alarm that forces you to complete in order to turn off the Alarm
So that I will ACTUALLY wake up on time and not be late for work.
And I wanna know if this has been solved or if the above mentioned is the only pain in the ass way to do it.
.I wanna put it on my Motorola
YOLO !

How to extract Whatsapp Key from an SD-card install?

Dear all,
Though I'm kind of a beginner, I have made much progress backing up and decrypting Whatsapp messages from my old Android phone. However, there seems to have been an even older installment of Whatsapp running from an SD-card on the same device. There are Whatsapp-database files there, but I cannot find the decryption key.
I have tried many ways of going about it:
1. Exploring the root of the SD Card does not lead anywhere.
2. When I use Whatsapp-Key-DB-extractor by Tripcode, it only extracts from the phone's main drive.
3. When I transfer the older databases from the SD-card into their corresponding folder on the phone (either alongside, or replacing them), and then run the Extractor, again no success.
4. In the Apps menu of my phone Configurations, when I go to Whatsapp, the button "Move to SD-card" is unavailable. I figured this may be because only older versions of Whatsapp were able to move to an SD-card and run from there.
5. I downloaded and tried to install older versions of Whatsapp through APK-mirror (with the objective to consequently see if I can move it to the SD-card), but all of them ended in "unable to install"... And anyway, the oldest version available on apkmirror is not as old as the databases we're talking about (which are from June-July 2014).
6. Finally, I noticed that part of the Whatsapp-extractor's procedure is to revert to an older version (2.11.431) and back, so I tried interrupting the process before it sets the new version back. To no avail.
Can anyone come up with a workaround? Those messages are quite precious diaries of those days. My phone is an Experia Z (Model D5503, Android 5.1.1), but it has been stuck in a BootLoop since a very long time. I finally found the time and energy to sit down and see if I can learn how to get the most valuable information out of it after all, and after many, many hours and lots of patience and steady-handedness (the rebooting seems to occur with movement), I decrypted the database from the phone itself. Now I really cannot accept defeat in front of an even older treasure
Oh and post-edit: The databases from 2014 are crypt7. The ones that I DID extract succesfully are crypt12.
Best,
Publo
