Hi All,
I deleted the default browser a while ago and now want to use it again for testing. I cant find it in the market, so is there a download link to add it back to my device?
Also, I have removed most of the bloatware from the device but would like to know if there is an official ROM I can download in case I need to restore the device.
Can anyone point me to some links.
Thanks
Ian
Have you tried resetting the device to default? That could solve the problem.
Download a custom rom like Leedroids, extract it somewhere, navigate ti system/app and browser. Copy it and using root explorer mound r/w and paste it into system/app of your running rom.

Hi all,
I am in MS2GINGER3.0 RTM and when I am trying to replace a system file (eg SystemUI.apk) I always get "system is write protected".Also,when I give adb remount,I get an answer operation not permitted.Can anyone help?
You should use root explorer and make sure browsing files with read/write ready. Putting systemUI apk would freeze your phone if the modded file have different configuration. I would suggest you put the apk into a flash able zip and flash it under CWM.

The strange thing is that with previous versions of MS2GINGER I could do anything I wanted with Android Commander.Now I have the problem that I mentioned before.I ask for what changed and there is problem now.
hey, im attempting to mod my xperia play r800i but need to clarify a few issue here as im very very very new to android.
1. currently on 0.42, if i root it and then update to 0.62, is the phone still rooted? if not, what is the way to root 0.62? is the same rooting method applicable on it?
2. to mod my phone, is the sequence correct? unlock boatloader via sony homepage>root phone> install DoomLord kernel> flash JokaWild rom
3. for the CVM, can it be accessed for all xperia play, or need to install someting to access into that mode?
thanks!
just unlock the bootloader and then install the DoomKernel via fastboot, Doomkernel is already rooted and CWM installed

If you update OTA and not through a computer, you keep root. However, OTA doesn't work after removing bloatware, so make sure you haven't removed anything yet.
The order would be unlock bootloader, flash stock .62 firmware, flash DooMKernel, load recovery, install jokawild.
The CWM you would use to flash jokawild is built into DooMKernel. When booting the phone, the notification light will turn blue. When it does, press the back button to enter recovery.
Also, you don't need to worry about keeping root, or rooting again since jokawild is already rooted automatically.

thanks for all the reply!
another question, how do i access my phone's internal memory via my laptop?
it seems that i can only access sd card data.
Afaik the only way is to use ADB, and I'm pretty sure that's only for push/pull commands and not file browsing.
I usually use root explorer from the phone itself.

hey, want to ask another question, if i do a 'factory reset', will it delete the crash bandicoot apk file in the internal memory? because i need the file for pspxperia to emulate ps1 games in it. thanks!

I believe the app comes factory preset.
You could always just copy the Crash Bandicoot files to your computer and not worry about it though.
in the sdk manager, what i should choose to install? the tools and android kit api 14?
this one is the zergrush method for rooting

no need to install that API, just install this only
- Android SDK tools
- Android SDK Platform-tools
- Google usb driver(extra)
A factory reset, as in one you do through the phone menus, doesn't modify which apps are installed. It only wipes user settings.
Flashing a stock firmware includes the games that you had when you got the phone.

if u download an apk file outside the google play, go to your download folder to install it
which way to unlock boatloader is recommended? s2tool or from sony website?

PS : I found it on : http://androidforums.com/gio-all-things-root/408235-rooting-samsung-gio-ginderbread-2-3-4-a.html
I used this for rooting my stock 2.3.6 (see attachment)
Roots, installs superuser and busybox.
Worked for me, but not sure if it works for S5660L
If you want to know where I got it from, pm me, can't post links yet, quite annoying...
You should go in the recovery mode to run the update.zip and not though the file explorer.
To come in recovery mode, turn off the phone -->press the main button (in middle) + right button (to turn on/off the phone) keep both buttons until the recovery mode shows. Scroll down by using the left side button on phone (volume control) and choose install zip from sdcard by pressing the main button. Then reboot the phone and its rooted.

You can use Root Explorer,Astra or other similar app for unrooting, it should be mounted as R/W
go to: system/app, delete SuperUser.apk
reboot
still a problem ..
Hello everybody
I have tried all the ways to have my root access in my samsung GIO 2, but nothing works..
Model Number :GT-S5660
Android System : 2.3.6
I think it's the same model as the others here.. But When I try to root with a file update.zip, it doesn't work, with the file RootGalaxyGio.zip (this one of this topic) it's the same case...
I install RootChecker and it says me that I haven't the root access.. And If I try to install "SuperSU" to move the apps, it says me that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I I really don't know What I could do to have my root access.....
Thank's a lot for your answers

For the root, yes you can by using Towelroot of geohot. You will need to transfer the apk first (using AirDroid for example).

For the recovery, it get more tricky. I am not sure if I can help but I think you may be able to flash it using "Flashify" from Google Play Store.
