So dumb
I was trying to change the notification bar to black, found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34208168&postcount=20 and stupidly flashed it... It's for the Note 2!
Surprised my phone is still functioning... Notification bar is gone and SystemUI keeps crashing.
I've tried putting the 4.1.1 SystemUI.apk in the system/app directory with no success... I'm not running custom rom, only rooted - clearly you can see why.
What have I done... Any suggestions? Will a factory reset fix it?
I would wipe and reflash rooted stock with odin

Thanks mate.
So factory reset wont sort it out for me?

No, you need to replace your Note II file with the S3 file from your firmware. Only way is flash that file or a complete rom.
Thanks for that.
Where would I find the file to flash? I'm guessing it isn't the same as just replacing the SystemUI file like I have tried?
Edit: sorry I'm just trying to figure out the most pain free way of doing this as I haven't flashed a new rom on my S3 yet, and the way I'm headed it's likely that I am going to brick this thing.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 is a guide for the I9300 but it's the same for I9305 with that little difference you need to download a I9305 ROM and not a I9300 ROM...

Hi.
I am a bit stuck with something on my HTC and I thought I would try to get some answers here as people seem very knowledgeable!
I recently rooted my HTC One and everything was going well. Yesterday a message came through to my phone that there is an update available so i downloaded and tried to install. Unfortunately it will not unstall on my phone - it just goes into the mod recovery screen. Is there a way of installing the file via the custom mod recovery screen or am i missing something?
Thanks if anyone can offer any advice!

You need stock recovery to install official updates
I advise flash a custom rom, because is better then a rom stock with root!
And you can personalize it with mod and other, a lot of mod will not work

Hi Guys!
So I got my hands on an HTC One Mini 2 Demo Unit. Don't ask me how or why. (NOT STOLEN!)
I have tried to get rid of the Demo mode app but without success.
This is what I have done:
Unlocked the bootloader
Flashed TWRP
This is what I have tried to do to get rid of the demo mode:
Wiping and factory reset from TWRP. About 1 minute after the phone has booted it autoinstalls the Demo Mode again. Before it does all functions is available etc, after the demo mode is installed some options and functions is disabled.
Rooted, Installed Xposed and module BootManager to stop Demo Mode from booting, no success the demo app still starts upon boot
Tried to uninstall the app with various root uninstallers, they just fail.
Tried wiping ALL partitions etc from TWRP and restored an original HTC One Mini 2 system dump from another thread, same thing. After about one minute the Demo application autoinstalls itself and some functions is diabled and the annoying demo mode starts now and then, and blinkfeed is full of sh*t, demo contacts etc.
After I reboot all settings etc is restored to it's original state.
Any ideas how I can force the phone not to install the demo mode after reset?
Thanks!
Update: Flashing the Cyanogenmod firmware from another thread does not install the demo mode and the phone works as it should. I can call etc. But I only have 3G not 4G, don't know if it has to do with the sim or not (borrowed a nano-sim from a collegues iPhone 5s).
But anyhow I would like to have the HTC firmware instead, any ideas?
Maybe someone has another system dump/ruu/firmware or any of the sort I can try. Perhaps the firmware I tried in the other thread also was a demo-firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55107684&postcount=6)

As you probably figured it was an app in the ROM so installing a custom ROM or reverting back to stock will get rid of the problem (as you've already done it)

Thank you for your answer. I have however tried to restore the original ROM and another original dump from this forum but the app installs itself anyway. Any idea where I can get another clean ROM or system dump?

I'd unlock it first on htcdev and then root and flash a custom recovery.
Then you'd either flash back to stock or flash a custom ROM.
I hope this helps

As stated in the OP I have already unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. CyanogenMod works but very buggy build, and either way I would like to have the original ROM or something close to it (Sense). Unfortunately there are no custom roms for this phone yet (other then CM). I have only found one original TWRP dump that I tried but the demo mode installed itself on that dump as well. I don't know why it installed itself on the original rom from this forum... Thanks

Sorry, my bad.
My understanding is that this is an app so if it's not in the ROM then it cannot run.
There are a few other custom ROM but if you want stock follow this by the letter.

Those instructions and ROMs are for the HTC One Mini and not the HTC One Mini 2. Also as far as I know there is no way to get S-OFF on the HTC One Mini 2 yet.

Thanks! I will give it a try, does not matter if I brick it anyways. My fiance dropped it and broke the glass so I will get a new demo unit.

Download stock rim flashable via twrp and open it using WinZip or winrar goto system/etc/ and delete '.demo' folder. Then repack and flash, problem solved.
no need for reading the whole thread. in twrp mount preload and by using the twrp file manager navigate to /preload and delete everything you can find inside! do a factory reset and flashing "org" firmware should be done...

I was going to do same thing, but how do you repack ? I mean I packed it with WinRAR, or 7Zip, but they compress the file, or maybe they don't pack it as TWRP format, so TWRP didn't recognise my file. Simply, how do you pack it ?

Open the zip file that you want to flash with any zip manager you like, you don't need to extract the files, just navigate to the folder and delete the .demo folder and it will automatically repack it. Close it and copy it to your phone and flash normally. It will work.
Can someone help me where can I find a raw firmware for me176c (K013) or a stock recovery image. I am currently stuck at the first asus logo I still have access to fastboot but I can't access recovery mode. I was trying to downgrade to kitkat but I saw in the forum that it was not possible, so I just tried to install xposed for the memory leak issue that is when the problem started after installing the framework I was stuck on the other asus logo with the loading icon. I waited for it to load but it was stuck there until the battery was drained. After accidentally flashing a wrong recovery image in fastboot I am now stuck on the first asus logo. Any ideas would be a great help. Thanks
I might be able to create a dump of mine but, I don't know if that'll help OR ho we yo do it.

Have you found the image? I know it's been several months, but I'm about to attempt to root and hopefully install cm on mine, and I'll be resetting and making a stock image backup. Willing to share if it's still needed.

IDEM!! COMPLETELY IDEM! I had the pra-lx1c55b105 too, and, after root, I have your same problems too! Please, someone help us!!!
nobody read the multiple thread about this problem ?
Sorry but it's really annoying. (it's not about you, nothing personnal
Your problem is related to a different version between the boot_root image and, the system partition...
You could try to update your phone to the latest firmware (so you have to configure the wifi and then check in the "about" page for an update)
If an update if available, then I think this will solve your problem.
And be very carefull, never install (apk or worse, flash a partition ) something if no version is specified
My friend had maked the update over Wi-Fi but after the download the flash in the recovery fails, why ? @ripp2003 can you link me where la located this theard ? Thanks a lot

But this topic is related to PR1-LX1C432B110 and this is the source of newesc.... (this topic got a lot of informations on how to find your firmware)
So right now, you need the exact version of the firmware : I think it's pra-lx1c55b105
-> Find it and download it with Huawei Firmware Finder
-> Extract the boot.img from the firmware with Huawei Firmware Extractor (or maybe you've done a copy before flash the boot_root.img ?)
-> fastboot flash boot boot.img
You 'll lost root but this way, I think you can recover your phone
If this doesnt work, I'm really sorry but, you have to wait for some developpers to make Rom....or, some special things for recover an official firmware.
I'm sorry, this situation is a bullsh**
Really Good luck
@ripp2003 thanks a lot, i had tell this to my friend and Now He try

Can you tell me what you did? You flashed the entire zip, or only the boot.img? And how? With twrp right?
Yes everything works. I did factory reset and the phone is back to default.
I extracted BOOT image and RECOVERY image with HuaweiUpdateExtractor.
After that with I copied both BOOT and RECOVERY image in Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
At last I've connected the phone to PC and flashed BOOT and RECOVERY image.
I've disconnected the phone booted in recovery did factory reset and after that phone booted normally.
