Connect your phone in usb mode and delete those files using computer. Or if you dont want anything in sdcard you can simply format...

still no progress.

yes i can creat a new file but gets deleted after a restart.

i think it has something to do with an error on the zero sector of the flash memory... but i really don't know how to fix it... i know there is a way to format the memory in those cases in linux.. but i couldn't really say how...
i hope you can figure it out...

can anyone suggest me a original rom

[Request] In need of PowerOff.apk and PowerOff.odex

Hi all,
Incidentally, I removed the application poweroff.apk with Titanium Backup, and I not did the backup. Now, my phone is not shutting down. When to put turn off, it just restarts.
I am with an enormous anguish. My question: I can turn it off by the battery, it will again turn on? I am with fear that the same reason that he is not shutting down, run the risk of it not connecting.
That is because I take the opportunity to change the firmware, and pass the v20q for the v20s. How to do it with Smartflash,I need disconnect the device to complete the procedure.
What do I turn it off again?
Can I change the firmware?
Please, I need help!
Thank you.
root explorer
Someone uses the RootExplorer?
I pulled out my battery like a hundred times. Nothing should happen.
You need to either reflash your ROM or install the update, both will give you the apk back.
Open terminal, write:
su
poweroff
It might work, let me know

Don't worry, nothing will happen.
And even if you hit the 0.00001% chance and are stuck - luckily we do have NVFlash and can unbrick every softbricked phone.
That's one big advantage of the LG 2x! You need to damage the hardware to brick the phone.

I want to do this. But for flash It is necessary to turn off the phone.
And this is the problem, if I turn off, it will turn on again?
The process "flash" ensure it will turn on again?

Thats strange, i have always thought that poweroff is an busybox applet (/system/xbin/poweroff), and should work even without poweroff.apk
Just for the fun of it, try
su
reboot

I tried reboot, but the apk not returned. It only restarted normally.
There are an .apk and an .odex (poweroff) located in (System/app/)
I will try Reflash.
To Extract .kdz or .bin
Before performing the reflash, is there any way to extract the file .kdz or .bin from firmware I'm using in by Win7? With this, look for poweroff.apk, to extract, and put in my phone.
If it is noobish, then I apologise sincierly, but I have an idea.
Is it not possible to extract from other phone and upload it somewhere for you to put in your phone?
Like for example, would it help if say I (stock/root/ 2.3.4 O2X) get it for you and uploaded to some fileshare thingy?
(My understanding (being new to O2X but long running user of Androids (G1, Milestone 1, O2X) is that no matter what you do to your software, there is always flash, or nandroid bckup, or ROM install. So no worries. )

Yes that should work. I would have done that myself if I'd use a Stock ROM.

[Q] Vodafone Apps Pre-installed

OK, I tried to find something similar in the forum but i don't find anything.
My problem is: I have a Vodafone I9305 . Originally, just bought it, I had vodafone applications pre-installed. Then i decided to mod the phone.
What i don't understand is: why everytime I install any modified rom (e.g. Pandoriam) the vodafone apps come back?. Before entering the first time in android, appears the screen "Installing Applications:" (My Web, Music Shop, Cloud, Contacts, NOVA3, FIFA12, ecc.).
These applications are in the modded rom (I doubt it) or are somewhere in my phone and when I install the modded rom, this install them too?
Thanks and sorry for my bad English. Carlo.
Have you got google backup set up if so that's probably why they are reinstalling each time you put on a new rom.
Hey,
i'm using a vodafone i9305 too, and i think these apps are stored in the hidden partiton. So make a test at your own risk.
NANDROID Backup (as tar), format hidden partition, flash rom.
I don't take any warranty if your phone bricks.
Also, there must be a routine that checks this partition.

That is impossible because this happens before entering in android first time, so also before setting my google account.

Backup all your data..IMEI...etc... use Megawipe through CWM... and then go into download mode... install new ROM from ODIN... and you will never see those pesky apps again... this is what I did...

No! Don't go formatting hidden partition it has nothing to do with it.
You need to mount pre load and then format that.
Also in system/apps there is a preload installer.Apk, un install this too.

[Q] Recovery wont open any ZIP files

So , I have tried every version of TWRP I can find Including PHILZ , and none of them will open zips to flash everything fails,Also my nandroid backups fail to flash as well after i do a factory reset........ md5s are fine.. Ive also made sure they aren't ZIP.ZIP.. Ive done a fairly extensive search to no avail.Has anyone come across this problem? .. frustrating... Im on the hk firmware S-off rooted
In twrp settings did you make sure that Theme testing isn't on.. Even So on that screen press default settings tab and reset twrp flashing settings... Just in case you have a sticky setting..
ya tried that too .. unfortunately it didn't work..... i don't think its a TWRP only problem because PHILZ wont work either .. the recovery just wont open any zips

A while back on a different device i had the same issue. I relocked the bootloader, and then went through the whole process of unlocking again (at htc-dev) reflashed the recovery did fastboot erase cache and reinstalled SU. was kind of a hassle but it worked. Worth a shot maybe.

Or you can delete your TWRP folder from sdcard and reflash recovery...that has helped me before
Also what are you trying to flash somethings are not meant to be flashed in recovery some are fast boot/bootloader flash setups

according to a search in Google its not possible to be retail and have a demo because its 2 different ROMS.
you can use TWRP to wipe everything Data, Dalvik and System.
Then use the backup.

dont know what to say to that, however, you can try this:

install framework (use flash mode) and look for module BootManager. You can choose witch apps will run at system start. Disable demo app.
