well try to reflash rom or something. ... or restore a nandroid backup ... if you made it ..
i guess what you did is moved the app or something that was used at that time... lets say launcher, or theme for it or something like that ...

Thanks for replying but unfortunately i did not make a backup and to make it worse, it was my only stock usa Tmoible rom. I found a custom rom "JikantaruROM_v1.1_Wildfire_S" rom however i am finding issues with it such as NO ROTATION what so ever. Plus i don't like some of the effects.
IF you can give me a link to a stock usa tmobile rom i would very much appreciate it. I have been looking but to no avail.

im afraid that i do not have it either... maybe some of the mates from tmous can make nand and send it to you so you can restore it ;-)

Here you go mate stock tmobile usa: http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...35.3032_7.48.36.17M_release_202047_signed.exe

Thanks for the link but i got error 155. THis is very frustrating and i just want my stock rom back. Custom roms are buggy. I currentyl have no "rotation"/"tilt" function on this rom -__-.

No offence but what you just said was basically the same as: "Hey guys, I deleted everything"
Just flash a new ROM

Excuse me but no its not. If you read almost any question posted on this website with people who post simple information less questions like you just quoted, the first reply is always for more information.
You would think that "experienced" people on this forum would know this already

Ummm... If you say so.
What I am trying to say is that if the system looks for internal apps and they are on the SD then it will spaz up and not find them. Therforth they are not there. As if they were deleted.
Please think before posting.

Well that was kind of self explanatory but if it makes you feel better. Why i posted this was to see if someone had a simple fix for it instead of making me using a custom rom. I had no problem with that rom so i wanted it back. Flashing a new rom would obviously fix it.

Download your version of RUU, run it, find rom.zip in >windows< temp folder. Unpack files system.img and boot.img to the folder with fastboot.exe.
Enter hboot->fastboot and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Q] Newbie questions

Hi all.
My first post here and a couple of questions.
Per instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283 , I was able to root my phone using TWRP and odin.
The phone works fine but many of the apps are missing (maps, youtube etc). I was able to download the maps 6.14 apk and install it, but the gps takes forever to lock now. Is there a s2 specific app that was somehow wiped out by the rooting process?
Also, the stock browser is set to full screen, but when typing in the address, the address bars flickers on and off and I can only see the google search suggestions untill I press the keyboard again. Im using stock samsung keyboard.
Don't know if it's normal, but the phone doesn't pull my contacs from the sim card before or after root. I used to have HTC Mytouch from T-mobile and the names and phone numbers all came up as soon as I insterted the sim card into that phone when I bought it 2 years ago.
Thank you.
Sorry forgot to add.
The phone is ( was?) stock JB 4.1.2 (t-mobile) and the only thing I did was root it.

The only thing I can think of is to re flash the stock ROM in Odin. Then redo installing recovery. I followed roughly the path to root you described and didn't have any problems.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you know if the settings and data will be wiped out if I try to reinstall ? I dont have a spare phone I would hate to lose the apps and the texts and etc.

Well, if you have twrp, install it first and make a backup that INCLUDES the preload partition as well as data, system, cache, etc. Then you don't need to worry. But odining stock job over stock job should be harmless since it won't overwrite data -- just be sure repartition isn't checked

Well, unrooted, rerooted, wiped clean, reinstalled stock 4.1.2 and nothing ...
The gps is crap with all the .conf files tried. And no matter what, once I install SU , the damn apps disappear after reboot. Plus considering that it's a 1.5mhz processor, its slower than my old HTS 1.2mhz Mytouch and even 1mhz ZTE warp. Probably gonna send it back. Too bad, since I like the screen a lot.

You're missing apps can be redownloaded from the play store. As for your GPS problem, download and follow the instructions to install AGPS from this thread and you should be fine.

Thanks , but I already tried that.
As for the apps, it's really not a big deals, but the fact that the SU app makes them disappear is a bit of a concern. , plus the fact that gps works like crap even after the patch and several new gps.conf files , make this phone an overpriced and kinda overhyped toy. Frankly one shouldnt be looking at patches and fixes on a phone this "good". If an old ZTE and Htc work without a hitch, then this thing is about $150 too expensive for what it is.
And for the life of I cant understand why wouldnt sucksung put a damn led light on the case to alert the user of missed calls or texts instead of us having to resort to the nolite and such..
Thank you for all the help though).Thank you though for the help.

Make Sure you Flash it Correctly.. Since you have TWRP Flash other Rom of your preferences and then DO THE CORRECT Wipes!.

Appreciate the advice.
But Ive done that already. The gps ,when it does finally lock, takes forever. Regardless of the .conf files. And no matter what, after SU gets installed and the phones is restarted some apps are simply gone.

Instead of stock ROM I would give you the suggestion of trying out cyanogen mod since imo its actually much better everything wise over stock ROM
Give it a whirl and tell us what u think
See if the probs went away

First of, thanks you so much. I don't think you attach a link for me yet. A quick update, I checked my imei, and it said null/null. so if i used mskip tool to do a efs partition would that solve the issue?
I'm downloading the ics stock rom right now, and I will keep you update. I will probably do it, via mskip's tool. What I'm wondering is, if i used samsung kies and update to JB, would this solve the issue also?
the phone is working fine, it's just i can't make call

I did more research and I think I narrow it down to EFS, mb i deleted my efs folder while debloated my phone, or some random reason...do you know any possible fix? because I didn't back it up. if I'm to re flash stock rom, do you think it will fix this issue?
I found this guide right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

so i re-flashed the stock rom using mskip tool, and now i can make call, but now i'm getting a bunch of messages like process android.process.acore has stopped, and touchwiz home error and i can't get pass that. Please Advise
[SOLVED] thank you so much, got everything back to normal. one more questions, since i re-flashed the stock rom, I can still access CWM recovery, but as i tried to install superuser, it said I can't...this is my first time so can you lead me to the right path?

Just re root your device using the same method.

[Q] Lost Root After Flashing SlimBean4.3

First of all I apologize if I posted this on the wrong forum. I am an XDA fan, this is where all get all the goodies for my phone but never actually post.
I flashed SlimBean4.3OfficialBuild1 along with the gapps they provided on their site (SlimMinimalGapps4.3Build1). As always I keep my apps backed up with TitaniumBackup but I downloaded the apps and it said my device wasn't rooted. I checked USB Debugging and enabled it and still no luck, then i downloaded SU from playstore and it gave me same message, no root. I do not know what it is and I am frustrated its late and I need to get up early. I will leave the phone as it is till I find a solution. Another big BIG issue is the screen flickering I have been getting and looked all over the web and i could not find a solution. I only been getting the screen issues with android 4.3 on all the roms I tried so far. I did get those screen flicker a long time ago but I thought it was because of the ROM i was on then I switched to another one and it was all good. I you would please help me find a solution to this. I feel like throwing my phone to the wall. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747. THANKS IN ADVANCED.

I had to change the superuser app that I'm using before TB will register. I'm using SuperSU but I have to manually update it sometimes, or just download superuser from Store. Download Root Checker
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freeandroidtools.root_checker) and it'll tell you if you're rooted or not. The flickering is way beyond me. I'm way too weak in the Force to go into 4.3 ROMS yet.

You have to activate root on 4.3 ROMs. Its settings>development>root set it to apps and/or adb.

Well, I had to re-flash a SuperSU update and that seemed to fix the prob. Even just flashing the latest nightly unrooted my phone. I'll try and find the link for you. Also, try a system, cache, and dalvic wipe.

[Q] VM root/recovery weirdness

I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing ROMs, but this is a new one on me. I've had my Virgin Mobile Siii for several months and am pretty happy with it. However, I want to go to CyanogenMod. I also want to root and put a custom recovery on my phone.
My first problem is that I put TWRP on the phone a month or two ago, but when I try to boot into recovery, all I see is the <e3> recovery. I have a TWRP folder with a copy of a Nandroid backup on it, so it must have been there, right? Anyway, to try to figure this out, I downloaded ROM Manager (free version). It says I have both TWRP and Clockwork recoveries on the phone, and trying to have it set me up to use or update either one goes nowhere. Superuser says I'm not rooted.
What I'd prefer to do is get a working root and TWRP recovery on the phone -- I've used it with both an EVO 4G and HTC One V I had in the past and I'm comfortable with it, though if I have to use CWM I can. Then I'd like to use the new CyanogenMod installer if I can be sure it's compatible with the phone. My baseband/build version numbers end with MG2, so I know the phone might be slightly different than a Sprint SIII, but from my exploring the forums here and on other sites it seems to be pretty compatible.
This uncertainty of whether or not I have a custom recovery on the phone makes me very leery of trying to flash a new one without a second opinion. Can anyone help or give me guidance on this?

Have you went here and used this method? I would first flash all that way back to stock unrooted on pc Odin to get rid of all the clutter. And if it were me, I wouldn't use ROM manager either. It says Sprint in the link, but everything is the same.

Thanks, I will check this one out. The problem I often have is finding my way through a dozen or so threads that almost give me what I need, but this one looks pretty straightforward. I probably won't try it until the weekend, but in the meantime, thanks for the tip!
