Root Help With My Opimus Elite

[AnmFreak]

I messed up my optimus elite and now when i boot it goes into bootloop. I take out the battery and go into recovery mode. Then i wipe data and cache partition and then i click reboot system, now the phone boots normally. It doesnt have any bootloop though their is no launcher (i guess i deleted it). The phone pops up with errors:
the application messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

the application setup wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

I take the battery out and do the steps that i did in recovery mode and this time plug the phone into the computer. Then i scroll the notification bar down and click charge only and wait for the errors which are :

the application messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

the application setup wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

the application service program (process com.lge.SprintHiddenMenu) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

It also says initializing google wallet so i guess all the default apps are their but i cant get to them since i dont have a launcher. Now im stuck with the blank screen and the notification bar which i can still scroll up and down

AnmFreak, do you have teamview? If you do, let me know and I'll help you out.

I'd you don't have it, then you should download and install

 

[AnmFreak]

Okay, so I think I might have another idea, depending on whether or not you have your gmail account set to push. Ill email the apk to your Gmail account, then ill call you. While the phone screen is up, you need to pull the notification bar down, the gmail thing will say you've got a new email, you click it and open your mail, then select download and open attachment. This will open the launcher up with package installer and hopefully get you a launcher again.

If you want to try it, pm me your email and number.

If that doesn't work, then you might be able to zip it, sign it, and flash it with recovery. I've only heard of people doing that with custom recoveries though, not stock.

not really sure how to sign it and also i had to factory reset so the phone is probably not connected to my email anymore

If you can find a way to get it to the point where adb will see it, then it can probably be fixed with a simple adb install. If you can't, then I'm not sure what else could be done :/

 

[AnmFreak]

ok i fixed my phone though it is slower than usual but not by much isnt really noticable and it says the application google services framework (processcom.google.process.gapps) has stopped could that be the cause of why its slow? Any help on how to fix this

you need to seriously push original system apps back to the elite or reinstall the whole thing using the jcase root method. from what i can gather from your posts,a number of system files have been deleted or damaged. if you keep on in that state,your phone may stop operating correctly altogether.

 

[Hashtag]

I'm with Curtis. Your phone wasn't even loading, and adding a patch that lets it load doesn't change the damage. You should flash the whole thing.

 

[AnmFreak]

I was on the phone and i rebooted by its self and didnt bootloop im not sure what i did to maker this happen though the home and search buttons arent working so i got button savior and i still have root. im going to overwrite the system files just to be on the safe side

Overwriting your system files with files from another persons phone isn't the same thing as completely flashing it. "/system" is just one of the 18 folders in the phones root directory. You should just play it safe and flash it with LGNPST.

 

[AnmFreak]

ok

 

[AnmFreak]

Could u help me flash it when you have the time and also will the root be deleted?

Yes I'll help you flash it. And everything will be deleted, but we can still just reroot it once it gets flashed.

I saw in another thread that if you use QPST Memory Config you can push the Reset Phone to get out of Boot Loops. Idunno if it will work for you. Try it in download mode.

 

[AnmFreak]

My phone is actually back to normal but I still need help on reinstalling system apps when I try to install on phone it says can not install and doesn't work with using cmd any hrlp?

 

[HaTrEd360]

Did you reflash the firmware back to stock? I have backups of all my system apps. PM me your email and tell me which ones you need and ill email em. If they don't install, download an app installer from the market. Do you even have Google Play Store tho?

 

[HaTrEd360]

Aaaannd did you try factory resetting your phone from the Recovery?

Make sure that the /system/apps directory is mounted as R/W, not R/O, so that you're able to install apps to that directory. If that's all that's needed to be done, problem solved.

You don't install system apps, you replace them. Here's how you do it

1-put the apks in /system/app. Don't install, or anything else. Just paste them in there. A odex has to be with them.
2-restart phone and it will automatically reinstall them

 

[AnmFreak]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong because its not working
What file manager do you recommend using and do I have to change the permission for that .apk and .odex if I do what are the permissions

@ hashtag or curtis i have a quick question.
I took leslie ann's rom and modified it to work properly on sprint with a custom kernel giantpune made for sprint users everything seems to work fine so far except for this one problem, when i use ##diag# and enter MSl, which is correct as it allows me into the menu, i try to change the setting and after i make my selection it crashes and says that com.lge.SprintHiddenMenu has stopped unexpectedly any idea on how to fix this problem i would like to be able to control diag mode.

Did you check logcat? And did you use the sprint stock ROM as the base?

Did you check logcat? And did you use the sprint stock ROM as the base?

not sure where to find the logcat at, and i used her rom based off VM but edited the build.prop so get rid of VM issues then injected the wireless drivers from sprint into the original zip i have the stock apps saved in a backup though. when i tried doing what she had posted with the rom for sprint users which was to replace the apps folder, etc folder, frameworks folder, build.prop and media folder it simply would not boot just hung on lg screen, it does seem so far that what ive done to the rom works well only problem is the diag mode crashing

EDIT:
correction found out how to get logcat but not sure how to read it really.
here is what happens as soon as i click enable
