So, as of yesterday i am completely new to android, though a big tech head.
my typical approach tends to be break it now, and figure out how to fix it.. then if it breaks again you know what to do. haha..
i'm looking for a backup, i uninstalled google talk and of course had the associated problems with doing that, and am unable to repair it without another image.
Other Suggestions?
I tried all of the Clockwork mods available for similar devices and none work :-/ bad thing is, if it doesnt work I have to pull my battery out, meaning I have to take this damn two piece case off! Help us peeps of genius! Thanks
I am also looking for the ROM, as I deleted the Talk as well. I reinstalled Talk, but the Market still does not work. If anyone can help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
I think that I have found the ROM at:
Code:
huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=downloadFile&flay=software&fileName=37043&attachmentName=M860V100R001C153B251SP03.zip
EDIT: It is a very slow download!
EDIT 2: I have installed this and can confirm that it does work!
Ok so we download this but what can we do after we install this? This is just the recovery image right?

I have uploaded this and both informational files to my site. You guys may view then at:
Code:
muh****.com/downloads/
They have images with step by step instructions. I will not be hosting these files long, maybe a few weeks, as it will kill my bandwidth.
Oh, yes, it is only the factory image/rom/firmware. I was only doing this for the people that have messed up their phones and are needing to restore to the current factory settings. This is not the same as the phones restore, as that does not replace system files, but this does.
Thank you Xerxes
I'm just gonna download it just incase i mess up my phone in the future.

So does anyone have a ROM cooked up for this one yet? Or a reliable method to Root it? It is driving me bonkers that it constantly launches the crapware that came preloaded on it. It need to be cleaned, the bloat slows it to a painful speed...
Anyone? Why would it auto launch Uno? Help!

I have rooted mine twice without any issues, other than I deleted Google Talk the first time, using SuperOneClickv1.5.4-ShortFuse.

EDIT: Also I bought SystemApp Remover, to remove Uno, midnight bowling and a few other things. It works great, once you are rooted. You have to hit the uninstall twice on some apps.
system app remover
if it says just uninstalls and not deletes... whats tha difference. also has anyone found a way to increase volume hrough headset/ I am rooted through z4root. also had no luck in installing clockwork mod recovery..
Uninstall means it removes it, and not just deleting the program. So it removes the settings that calls for it to run, and not just delete the program an leave the settings.

All I did was d/l it from the site and host it, as their site is slow, but you are welcome.
I have the option checked to install non market apps, but if I download wifi tether, for instance, from the dev's website, my phone will not even let me click on "install," though I can hit "cancel." I've tried this with a free other apks, such a Swype, volume+, etc. Some allow me to hit install and some do not.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions? Btw, rooted gnex, stock 4.0.2, vzw.

First, I want to thank you for posting your question in the appropriate place. By chance, are you running JuiceDefender? If so, there is a bug that sometimes does not allow a user to install non-market applications without a workaround (you will find it in settings when configuring JuiceDefender). If you're not running JuiceDefender, then I am not sure, sorry .

I'm not. And since my original post, while my phone was laying on the couch, something changed and now I'm able to install those apks I've downloaded. Someone at AndroidForums suggested I side-load apks from my computer, but my only means of wifi is from my phone and wifi-tether was one of those apks that wouldn't install, until just an hour ago. I've had this issue rooted, unrooted, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and it seems to come and go.
It seems no one else is posting about it anywhere that I can find, so if nothing else I wanted others to know that it is happening.

Pardon my question, but you're not trying to install a .zip, are you? The extension is .apk, right?

Yeah, it's an apk.
Are you trying from downloads or from a file manager? I found download app wouldn't let me install apks

To see the thanks button you must NOT be on the classical theme of the forum. You can change that in UserCP.
if you have the screen filter app, disable it before installing the app....this did it for me. hope this helps
Is anyone else getting a constant "permissions pop-up" that states something along the lines of 'blah blah controls phone dialing' then it gives you the 15 second choice of denying the app or allowing it (with the option of never showing that message again....which doesn't work). It comes up every 5 seconds and is making the phone a joke to use. There was a fix for the ZenFone 5 and I was wondering if there is one for the the 2 as well.

It happens with whatsapp, Facebook, Asus help (which can't be deleted). Earliest record of someone expressing this same issue was over a month ago. I was hoping there had been a fix that may help me.
Sorry, can't help as I haven't experienced this issue.
Maybe someone else out there who hasn't read/responded yet....
If you are rooted you could try the 'fix permissions' app available on playstore.
No guarantees it will work as i have not used it on this device. It had worked well for me on other devices.

Hi guys I think here is the issue is described in asus forums zentalk ( i cant post links yet) search for "Permission popup every second"
Apparently a firmware upgrade will fix it
Firmware download WW_2.15.40.13 and above should fix it.
But i have tried to copy the new firmware to the root directory but its not picking it up .
Very frustrating for what looks to be a good phone !

You can flash the firmware yourself with ADB though most img files are rooted...

I cannot confirm whether your device is infected by that mentioned kind of malware.. Can I know which country you belong to?
And if your device is infected, presently there is nothing we can do. Lookout clearly said that for a normal user it's better to replace the device with a new one. And for an advanced user who know well about root/system files, can try removing those malware from root level...
Everyone is at risk, dont worry.. Someone will come up with a solution..

Hello
There must be a way to clear the phone completely. A full wipe somehow and start fresh?
If I knew what the files were I'd delete them from root folders. No problems there.

These malwares will not be removed even on full wipe/factory reset or anything. And as I told presently there is no way to remove it. But dont be sure that your device is infected by that one, may be it's something else.., so first you've to check other things, find out if its because of any application installed in your phone!
Remove those suspicious apps, and then check it out..
I removed many apps. But no success.
Any idea on how the malware reinstall itself after a clean wipe?
Sent from my SM-N9000Q using XDA Free mobile app
the malware doesnt reinstall itself.. it simply hides in the system partition which isn't affected my clean wipes.
the only way to remove it is to wipe and restore the system partition.
You could try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
under 3.1) Rooting Zenfone 2
use method 1
that will flash a clean image to your system partition, albeit with root and its caveats like "DO NOT TAKE OTAs, flash manually"
google is the real criminal...
hi guys..first of all install addons detector from playstore..use it ..it will show you all apps with adv.addons…delete those apps….second go to apps..google..yes..google…that is the main culprit..delete all your stored history…caches..cookies etc…third always browse the web in incongnito mode/do not track mode.whenever there is a pop up on your mobile..see the ad closely ..u will see :i:..press it..it will take you to its source..(google)..follow instructions…and you will be fine !! and last but not least…bless me..!!

what does it mean.. i think wiping out entire partition will sort the issue. re partition you device. or wipe and reflash every partition with fastboot commands
The problem is Gearbest. They do this on almost every freaking phone they sell, and in the case of ZF2, they even make it in a way that you are unable to even update the ROM (it gives error everytime). They do this more notoriously on Xiaomi devices, they just come loaded with adware with no chance of getting rid of it, at least for regular smartphone users.
Anyway, i bought mine last month and the way i did it was this:
Convert the SKU from CN to WW (search here the thread on how to do it)
Flash phone with Asus Flash Tool, i used the oldest available LL build, from 05/2015
Reboot to recovery, connect to PC and update to latest LL build via ADB
Reboot to recovery again and update to the first MM build via ADB
Boot the phone normally, put latest MM firmware zip file on internal storage or sdcard and update via update notification.
There you go, a ZE551ML updated to latest official MM firmware, with WW SKU.

Hi All
I had Inshot app in my s20+ for 1+ years. Yesterday I have uninstalled to update to new version (mod apk). After uninstalling , I cant install new version as it says signature doesnt match with existing application.
This is really frucked up situation as the same happened to zedge and vanced youtube with me. But these 2 apps was gone when I upgraded the firmware to Android 11 3.1 one UI.
Any help guys???

I have exactly the same problem with inshot. I uninstalled it to update a new version, but after install a new version, it says "signature doesnt match with existing application."
What do you mean with adb? Is it an uninstaller, like "Revo Uninstaller" software?
Please can anybody help me?
My problem is solved. I have a better solution then the ADB:
Go to: internal sdcard > android > data > then find the package: com.camerasideas.instashot and just delete this package. After that, you must restart your Smartphone and then you can install the new version of Inshot.
one thing I would like to say here is that whenever you want to install any update of an application you should simply goto the update panel in playstore and simply update from there. You don't need to install the app first and then reinstall to get its updated version. I hope you would get it.
Having this problem myself now. Phone does not have the com.camerasideas.instashot folder. Can't install any version of the app
Did anyone find the fix. I deleted the folder with com.camerasidea... but it didn't help. Please let me know if anyone solved the issue.
Thank you
