Cricket Huawei Ascend M860 Nandroid backup?

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:

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
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.

Pocket Legends APK

Does anyone have the Pocket Legends APK released yesterday?
I would be so very thankful if someone could supply me with it since it is the only bloody app that refuses to download from the market.

having the same problems on my phone as well.
had my mate next to be download and install it but weirdly the apk doesnt exist in data\app or system\app....
but +1 i want the apk too

Can't he do a search for the .apk?

yeah we searched for pocket* using root explorer with no results. Unless you know what its called..

Get him to uninstall it, get the application installation tracker, reinstall and it should say shouldn't it?

he tried to uninstall it and it made his launcher crash. now it doesnt show up in his app drawer after he rebooted his phone. he went to market to uninstall there and now it will only download but not install. It just hangs at the installing status.
hes not too happy anymore haha...

This apk is impossible to find, even apps like apkshare won't find a trace of it.

Scratch that, I got it

Mine failed first attempt to download from the Market, second time went fine. Awesome game

nice!! thanks mate!

I'm still having issues with this. I've downloaded it to my Evo using Myn's rom, wont install. Donwloaded the apk from here, still wont install.. flashed CM6 and still no luck. Is it not compatible with the Evo or something?

It originally installs on the SD card, and is 40(!)MB, so make sure you have space.
Mine also installed 2nd time from the market, and it's fun to play! I'm happy to see and MMO finally on android, I was craving for one! A bad point is, that it seems you have to pay a lot of extra to buy +dungeons, items, etc. No good....

Really nice with BT Mouse and TV-Out this one!

Thank you for the link

1.5.1 is on market but problem with download still here ( plz can anybody upload it somwhere?

:/
I have the same problem
I dont understand, what is so special on this aplication, that its not possible download it from repository of market. Other applications are downloading correctly.
When I press install, It seems that it will start downloading, but after few seconds apears download bar, where is nothing happening. I am user of Desire with Leedroid froyo rom. I tried clean market and download manager data, but problem is still there.
Do you have any idea how to resolve it?
Meantime can someone upload .apk file of version 1.5.1?
Thanks and sorry for my english.

Ah yes, the game has been updated (to 1.5.1), the earlier APK is not usable any more. And for me it appears to actually download it, just not install it.

same to me...can't install the game from the market .
and i have the earlier apk version

Thanks for the download link!

[Q] Google services framework HELP!!!

I consider myself to be somewhat intelligent, mostly when it comes to being able to read, write, and search for things on the internet. I have searched these forums and others and only found two references to this question with no answers. Forgive me if my self inflated ego of being able to find answers online is misplaced.
When I try to install the Google services framework (googleservicesframework.apk) on my kindle fire I get the message "application not installed". What am I doing wrong? How do I install this? I am trying to install google apps, namely gmail. After I got the "application not installed" I did reset the device and install the gmail.apk but to no avail, the app would not even open.
I am running 6.2.2 and have recently rooted my kindle and have superuser access. I understand that root is not necessary to install google services framework but I did it nonetheless in hopes that it would help (which it has not).
I know others have had this problem, but I have not found any advice anywhere on this, please help!!! Thanks!

if you'r rooted and put the googleservicesframework.apk in /system/app then there is no need to install it (yes it will fail) - just restart the kf - you'll see it running ...

Thanks for the response! After pasting the googleservicesframework.apk to /system/app and restarting I do not see the application under "running applications", in fact I didnt even see it under "all applications". I know you said there was no need to install the app, but after I didnt see it running I tried to install it anyway then reset, it didnt help.
Its probably good to mention that ive tried this with multiple apks, ive read that there are different ones although I cant seem to tell which ones are different.
Any other advice??

This is the .apk I used on both my KF and my wife's KF. In fact I just installed it on hers last night. Hopefully it works for you.

It Worked!! It must have just been the difference in the apk. Thanks so much for the help guys!

Argh. Sorry all, having searched everywhere and found this thread I did what you said and STILL get Application Not Installed.
Can anyone offer me advice? Much appreciated if so.

look at post #2 !

This worked for me also
Thanks. I was having the same problem with my Kindle and this version worked for me also.

Thank you so much! I had a link to an older apk that did not work correctly. With that apk and "Any Cut", I was able to create a shortcut to "Accounts and sync" to get my gmail contacts and mail syncing properly.

When You move it to the kindle rename the File with a File explorer. Just remove the .zip extension and replace it with .apk. It should then install properly....Mine did.

Yeah, it is simple. Take your Kindle and smash it with a hammer and go by a Nook. Seriously this thing is the biggest pain in the A$$. I have got it to work only to have it shut down and not recognize the framework again. My Nook was so much easier to root and the Nexus 7 is even better, you don't have to root it.
**** Kindle and Nook to a lesser extent.

Ichigo,
The problem is when the framework is not working the Google Play Store crashes. None of my Android phones, my nook, or my nexus ever had such difficulty. The Nexus was nice because it didn't need any root.

Ichigo said:
Did you read the spoiler?
Anyways, that would be an OS problem. You could always just install a different ROM. Besides, I was on stock and had the framework work fine. As long as you have the current version and had the permissions set to rw-r-r, it should work.

Yes, I read the spoiler.
No, I installed several different roms on both CM and TEAMWIN attempting every combination I could think of. Nothing seemed to work. Finally I gave it to my little girl as a reader and installed all the apps with APK files because I couldn't get the play store to not crash. My wife was ready to kill me I was wasting so much time with the thing. It was a free Kindle, so it wasn't that big of a deal.At least now my daughter can't go on and download any app she wants, I have control over that.

Now works - thanks!

1.1 Firmware mirror for NST

So I just picked up a nook simple touch and am eager to root it, I've done plenty with Android on phones, never an ebook though. I've been reading the material here and had a couple questions.
1.) It looks like 1.1 firmware is needed for most of the roots here, however B&N only lists 1.2 currently. Does anyone have a mirror to 1.1 or tell me how to get that, currently I'm on 1.0.1
2.) If I can't get 1.1 are there any roots that will work for 1.2? I've been following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and it looks like it only works from 1.1 by the sound of it.
3.) Is everyone or anyone using the NoRefreshToggle? If so what do you think? Is it worth trying it out? Dangers of using it? When you toggle it off do you get greyscale back? From the sounds of the post, it's pure black and white with it on which is fine if when I disable it, it goes back to normal greyscale images.
4.) Did anyone find out how to turn off page animations in the kindle app? not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks a lot, look forward to trying this out.

Here's a copy of nook_1_1_update.zip I pulled down from B&N a few weeks ago: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5kn1214gfjhkcg In the end I didn't need it, so I can't confirm how the upgrade works (the instructions said just put the file within the zip on an SD card and reboot)

Thanks for the link

Thanks for the 1.1 post link, however I updated to 1.1.2 and followed the instructions and everything seems to be ok, I can get email, install from the market place, only thing I can't do is search the market. A search just lists a blank page and doesn't find any apps, any ideas.
As for the Kindle question, after installing kindle app and seeing the performance, this isn't a big deal at all.
Still curious on the refresh toggle however, any ideas on that, have you guys tried it out? I may post there if I don't hear back.
Thanks

I have checked and as you said market search functionality is absent, it seems to be broken since the Googleplay thing.
As a way to regain it, in the mean time we get an updated market working, install Searchmarket.
The NorefreshToggle is still in early stages, but works quite well for webpages, etc.
Try it, there are no risks on it, on any program when you enable the app it will work, and when you go into a menu it will return to normal grayscale.

How do I install Searchmarket if I can't search the market for it lol ... Do I have to install it on my phone first, then transfer the apk over to the NST, then file browse and install it from /system/app ?
I tried NoRefreshToggle, it's interesting, like you said a work in progress ... Tried it with GReader unfortunatly it shuts off between Feed view and Article view which is a pain, but I think that's probably to avoid ghosting.
As for web page viewing, Opera Mini FCs on me everytime I open it, as does the stock browser, so I haven't been able to try browsing as of yet Still looking for a solution to that one.
Thanks for all the info, really enjoying the NST if NoRefreshToggle keeps getting better this could really be a killer device

I just use the Google Play website to initiate installs to the nook (it appears in my device list as "phone")
The included Opera Mini installation never worked for me (no FC nothing). In the end I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

Didn't even know you could send apps like that to your devices, never had a need to try it before. Worked like a charm ... Opera is working now as well, thanks for the tips Really enjoying Android on the NST

So are you saying you are on 1.1.2 rooted and enjoying it?
Should I downgrade to 1.1.1 and root or just go ahead with 1.1.2?
I can't wait to try this out.

I can't speak to the upgrade patch from 1.1.1, I bought my NST yesterday, it had 1.0.1 on it, I upgraded to 1.1.2 then followed the rooting instructions for 1.1.0 or was it 1.1.1 can't remember, in any case, after rooting everything seems to be working just fine

It was 1.1.0, there was no 1.1.1

Is there any risk upgrading to 1.1.2 from 1.1.0? Would I have to reinstall google apps &c? Did anything change in between 1.1.0 and 1.1.2? (I have heard that they may have fixed the WiFi issues that were plaguing me a few months ago.)

Google search apk

Hey, can anyone link me their google search apk for ICS? I have deleted mine, and can't find it anywhere in the market. Thanks a lot

Should be here.

I have done that already, but the store says my device isnt compatible. Can anyone send me their version of google search for ICS Xperia arc s?

this is the one from Gapps for ics, move to system app etc...

Thanks a lot!

Cuz my device isn't rooted, and no one around rooted it it!! As after install, I get a message of "Application not installed" :'(
device is MK802 Android Mini PC
thanks mate

The apk I uploaded needs to be either pushed with adb or moved to system/app with a root file explorer. Both require root, but if you don't have root then you can't remove it either... If you're looking for an ics like search box there's one free on the market.

Thank you for uploading that, it was exactly what i was looking for... I am rooted, and moved it to sys >apps but it doesnt work... it allows me to open in and type, and things auto populate, etc... but it doesnt ever actually search, or open the browser, etc after i hit enter... ??? and whenever i try to open settings, or click on anything in it, it freezes.. any ideas?
It is UNBELIEVABLY hard to find information in this version of google search... or even another google search ics apk for that matter. But on the ROM im using, the guy replaced google search with some other, hideous, quick search application and I would like to get rid of it and put google search back on, but am unable to download from google play, i am running on ICS 4.0.3.
Thanks alot!

Have you set the right permissions? Using root explorer or similar it should be: 1st row tick read, write: 2nd and 3rd row only read should be ticked. Screenshot's from my N5, but exactly the same settings.

Yes I did that back when i was trying to make it work... but then when i rebooted the device, it disappeared from the app list in sys > app and i couldnt find it anywhere else... so basically i just flashed Google Now (velvet.apk) onto it and i got that working fine, I realized that all i really had to do was delete my old Search app that the chef put on there and then my search button automatically made google now the default search. so i figured that one out atleast, that was bothering me hahaha... so i might be getting sick of this google now already though, it's laggy as hell and sometimes doesnt allow me to push on the links it provides, and is impossible to update.... so i might have to come back to this. in which case i shall post if i get it working on my device.
thanks for your help! keep on keepin on... hahaha
EDIT: you know what im gonna try to put it on again right now... haha. this google now thing aint gonna work out... haha. but maybe now that i deleted the other search it might work... we shall see *finger's crossed*
