[Q] [Solved] Samsung apps can't launch : "invalid app" - Bada Software and Hacking General

Hi every one !
I'm using the Belgian firmware with a Wave 2 TLBLB1 and I'm getting some strange errors after an upadte :
- The boot screen is reversed
- The boot animation is played in reverse
(just annoying)
- After doing the Samsung apps update it can't launch it says : " Impossible to launch (...) invalid app"
I tried several times to hard reset and recover a clean bada but after each samsung apps update the same error appear.
Does some know from where those errors come from ?
Thanks in advance.
Solution :
- Do a hard reset
- Don't recover your settings files and apps
- Do the update
Solution 2, thanks to mylove90 :
-Try removing it by deleting its folder with TK file explorer (edit ini file to make it work with bada 2.0)
-Copy Samsung Apps.oap file....i'll assume you know the path of that file
-Open it with 7z or any other program
-Edit manifest.xml file to give it higher version number

Are you updated your phone via OTA ?

Yes it was an OTA update. But apart from the bug I listed, everything works fine.

Exactly Don't know about samsung apps but Reversed also for me as this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25923810&postcount=119

hahahahahahahahaha
These bugs are so funny
Thanks to Samsung we don't have OTA updates in Egypt
But i guess that you just got a bad Samsung Apps update
-Try removing it by deleting its folder with TK file explorer (edit ini file to make it work with bada 2.0)
-Copy Samsung Apps.oap file....i'll assume you know the path of that file
-Open it with 7z or any other program
-Edit manifest.xml file to give it higher version number
In Theory , This should prevent the update & make your Samsung Apps work
Best Regards

Yeah it's exactly the same... It should be normal for Samsung that the phone boot that way...
Could it be a general error from the OTA system update ?
For the samsung apps I expect the same bug since it was also with an OTA update.
Edit : yes I will try later this method I don't have time to do it right know I will report when I did it.
Edit 2 : So I hard reset and try again to update and it works even after the update. But after recovering my files it bugs. I will try to recover before updating.
Just a simple/noob question how do you express the files into a .oap file ?
Edit 3 : WTF it works. It should have been a setting error. Strange.

This is NO bug...
This is VISUAL teststuff...
Firmware like XXKKV... XXLAV, XXLBV
These are for internal testing... it is easier to see if success, instead wait and enter *#1234#
Read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363328
Remember... as V is highest "Character/Digit"... Kies nor OTA update again...
You have minimum to flash other apps_compressed.bin with Multiloader.
Best Regards

Asia Firmware DXJM4

Reference http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm
Saw under the Asia Firmware 'P1000DXJM4 ## ODIN 1.7 | P1.PIT | Version 2.2 | 2010 December' is available and to be cautious, i seek seniors' opinion before i go ahead and flash mine ^^
Any recommendation on how to proceed is appreciated, esp with ODIN (dont know what it is even read so much about this word)!
I already backup with TB
edit: Connect to Kies and says 'This device's version cannot be updated.' Stating PDA: JK2 / Phone: JJ2 / CSC: JJ2. now even more confused
edit update after flashed JME instead of JM4 (long story short):
"i will write down the event by event of recovery as reference:
1. flash the JVJL1 (no problem on reboot) by mistake then flash JM4 (missing dbdata.rfs) tar file downloaded from samfirmware.com and failed to reboot due to the missing file.
2. did some silly step and resulted in (phone .. ! .. pc) icon
3. run odin 1.7 and plug the usb and odin show is connected with tab
4. flash JM4 (yes with missing dbdata.rfs) and able to bring the tab back to download mode but unable to reboot into tab
5. flash Roto's dbdata.rfs file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...91&postcount=1) and able to reboot right after but missing pda & csc info (*#1234#)
6. tried the hard reset (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=106) but no help
7. download Roto's pre-rooted JME 3 files as mentioned (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827) and finally boot the tab with full *#1234# details.
* So if you see the (phone .. ! .. pc) icon dont panic. like KChauJen said, able to solve with enough reading. i listed my route to recovery as reference to give you positive hope to retry.
TB's backup in Internal SD and before flashing JME, i copied the TB folder to my hdd during the missing pda & csc boot and did a backup on JME reboot, copy paste back to TB folder under internal sd and the restore work flawlessly."
cant be updated? er, i was from jk2 to jm4. did you applied oclf? if you did, try undo it b4 anything.
Hi fastcx, thanks for replying and sharing your experience. I did some further reading in some singapore forum saying have to run the kies patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628) and spoof firmware version in order to update. i have yet to try due to somewhere in the same forum also said that once updated:
1. cant go back version
2. z4root wont work (which i am already using)
may i know have you rooted your SGT? need more solid info before taking the route to update the firmware as already using SGT as my primary device. I havent OCLF yet
rooted, since day 1, after every update (jj1>jj2>jk2) able to root with z4root till jm4 which requires SOC(SuperOneClick). To use kies, switch back to samsung default launcher b4 u connect using kies. I do not have any issue there. Another note is that after root, i always go back to /system/app to check n remove any apps that I do not need using adb shell.
The interface changed, to darker color, dlna client really working now, oclf performance improvement might not be obvious this time around. I suspect they really optimized it, everything is more stable now. Over protective I would say, cause any previous flashlight apps isnt going to sustain the led light for over 2sec. Default browser is a wee bit smoother now.
SuperOneClick is very easy to use anyway, so give it a try, oclf is useful only when u have over 400mb apps + loads of sms & contacts..anything related to I/O will have improvement.
The worse case scenario is just if kies still do not allow u to update, just use odin..what did you do previously? How do you update previously?

Yeah... I'm in your case.
Thinking does it would be updated or not???
1. cant go back version

Just look at inside of tar file, and according to the Chainfire's Warning, the three files:
* boot.bin
* Sbl.bin
* zImage > 7,000K
So, this firmware would be has the protected boot loader. It would give us a lot of trouble in the future of updating and downgrading.
I think, this firmware can be updated with the help from Roto, eliminate the three files above and just take the PDA part.
I was using CSC: XEV (Vietnam) then to SIN (Singtel) and feel good and when Nov'10 update came, updated via Kies wihtout any trouble. When Dec'10 update came, tried with SIN resulted unable to update, switch back to XEV also resulted unable to update. I havent try XSO which the singapore forum stated successful for those with that CSC.
So i have to try to switch to XSO and report in later. be it protected boot loader or not, as long as we want stable and more 'juice' to service our daily SGT needs, no choice but to follow. I do believe as days goes, seniors like Roto alike will crack the nut for us to appreciate further.
on other note, my default email (not gmail) app seem got problem whenever you click reply or forward any email will result in force close. do not know if this bug related to after i switch from SIN to XEV (to try update) then switch back to SIN and follow up by restore using TB.
anyone has similar force close on the default email app?
backing up with TB now should we (those yet to update jm4) wait for Roto to do his magic for this update?
edit: tried with XSO and also unable to update... that really puzzle me.
edit 2: unroot with z4root and try still unable to update... now looking at ODIN route
perhaps odin route is the best solution for your case, but from jk2 > jm4 not sure if pit file is needed? repartitioning needs it tho, perhaps its good that u do back up of everything, let us know ur flashing result. Odin will definitely able to do the job
oh no... T_T somehow i downloaded P1000JVJL1 (Arabic) by mistake and Odin 1.7 with Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time, selecting the mistaken Arabic firmware (PDA) and flash it without any problem (JVJL1 / JXJK3 / JVJK4) and able to reboot itself.
After notice the wrong firmware, downloaded the right one (P1000DXJM4) from samfirmware.com and using Odin 1.7. Repeating the above steps but the phone briefly flash and came back the 'download mode' and nothing happened although Odin stated passed without any error.
I able to hold the power to shutoff and turn on again and the screen shows the samsung logo screen and stay flashing the word 'samsung' with 1 then 2 quick vibrate (like force close) and didnt boot into the main screen!
what should i do next?? is it bricked?? T_T
edit: the downloaded filename is 'P1000DXJM4_P1000DXJM2_P1000OLBJM1_HOME.tar' and anyone know if correct one?
edit 2: now i am downloading DXJK2 and see if i am able to revert the flash of JM4 T_T
edit 3: is over T_T saw the (phone .. ! .. pc icon)
This is due to dbdata.rfs missing. Please refer to the guide of flashing JMC/D/E series.
BTW, I have a problem is Camera Faulty error when start the camera app. Somebody mentioned that the LCD density can't set too small, but I have reverted it back to default 240, the problem still there. Any clue about it?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
thanks dahuzi, i wonder if i choose to flash eu rom by Roto, would his rooted bring my tab back to operation? appreciate any help to bring back my tab.
i am able to bring my (phone .. ! .. pc icon) to the download mode. flashing anything before JM4 wont work anymore (fail at odin 1.7 and 1.3) and i am able to go back to hard reset option (holding vol up and power up). now i need to get the TB backup from the int SD before i try anything new. possible to retrieve in download mode?
edit: where to find the dbdata.rfs for this JM4? can anyother dbdata.rfs from other firmware able to fill it in? help ~ T_T
Hi VNPython,
Your case is complecated one, take it easy and read the thread from Chainfire "WARNING! Do not flash ... ", in there, a lot people has solved with different path.
Be patient, Bro. At that moment, your TAB is not Brick yet, but be careful because it's on the way of the End.
Wish you luck.
Take care.
ha.. i hope to win this war ^^ and learning the way of android!!
edit: just a quick question - does TB backup all user and app data in internal SD or External SD? i got bunch of files in my ext SD folder '.android_secure' and inside have files like 'com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.asec' can any senior confirm is a valid TB backup files and can be used to restore my user & app data? many thanks!
TB (TitaniumBackup) file in the internal SD (in my case is the default), please double check.
Please give us your detail of winning as I'm scare of Samsung flash. My history is, 4 years ago, I bricked my Omnia phone Samsung after I flashed the rom from SIN to AUS. And, this's my second device on Samsung but this is Android and I want to learn the new OS.
Take care, Bro.
hey guess what? i managed to get a file for dbdata.rfs from Roto and got the tab back live but missing PDA and CSC field (checking with *#1234#). tried the reset to get the pda and csc back but failed.
learned quite a few things along the way and will update this thread after completing my mission to update my tab to JM4.
windows seem cant extract and tar file for android tar files. i tried to extract jm4 files and add dbdata.rfs into it but when flashing, it fail.
worst come to worst, flash the JVJL1 to get the working tab again
i hope Mr. Roto could let me know what software to install on windows that able to 'untar' and 'tar' properly with android (linux) files. tried 7z and winrar both cant untar without error.
try using winrar to do the add on of dbdata.rfs, anyway, good luck next time, double check what you downloading

sorry for the late update as yesterday too late to post anything after able to get my tab back to life! the learning curve is nice and not stressing since many time i see the icon of (phone .. ! .. pc) yet i am able to bring the download (digging) icon back again always.
i will write down the event by event of recovery as reference:
1. flash the JVJL1 (no problem on reboot) by mistake then flash JM4 (missing dbdata.rfs) tar file downloaded from samfirmware.com and failed to reboot due to the missing file.
2. did some silly step and resulted in (phone .. ! .. pc) icon

5. flash Roto's dbdata.rfs file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9305891&postcount=1) and able to reboot right after but missing pda & csc info (*#1234#)
6. tried the hard reset (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9482192&postcount=106) but no help

TB's backup in Internal SD and before flashing JME, i copied the TB folder to my hdd during the missing pda & csc boot and did a backup on JME reboot, copy paste back to TB folder under internal sd and the restore work flawlessly.
after 1 days usage, the trouble found is email app still being force close whenever you reply or forward any email. any senior have similar force close on original email app?

My bad. How polite of you.
Back to topic, VNPython everything there is a first time it's good info here. Perhaps you can edit your 1st post with info from your last post?
EDIT: 1 thing though, do you have any issue regarding using samsung apps?
samsung app can use, checked my CSC and its KOR. Apps: Vlingo words to action, Vietnamese Dictionary application & blinkx Beat. didnt try any of them. just *#272*IMEI# and there's no SIN or XEV or XSO or Asian Sales Code in the Roto JME (EU) multiCSC. maybe will try to download multicsc with asian sale code.
* on the email app force close, i delete the email account and re-setup them, and the force close is gone. could be due to TB's restore? anyway, is solved ^^
I wonder will i be able to flash DXJM4 if there is a full tar file?

Please consider it carefully, Bro.
What I looked inside of the tar file, and according to Chainfire's Warning, it has the protected boot.
If we can eleminate the three files:
* Boot.bin
* Spl.bin
* zImage
and put back to the tar file with the encrypted code by Samsung (maybe we can ask Roto) then we can flash this modified firmware JM4.

[TUT] Firmware Upgrading Without Dataloss!

Hi everyone
you know that a big problem of upgrading using multiloader is that all of applications and our data will be deleted due to a firmware upgrade
*This method is found by mylove90 so all credits goes to him
special thanks to mylove90, adfree, and everyone who have helped this developement
Upgrading using this method is by using "PFS" file like kies upgrades
1. first you should prepare two firmwares, one is the firmware which is installed on your phone and the second is the firmware you want to upgrade to
2. Then you need to extract files of the new and the old firmware so download Trix, Select input file (You can make PFS file from a mix between FFS , ShpApp , CSC (Not Rcrs compressed part)) but just FFS is enough
then go to "scripts" tab and select "fs_shell.trx" and add it then run the script and ...
3.then download Winmerge (google it!) its an open source application which compares two files or folders with one click
then compare the new firmware folder and old firmware folder
then in view tab choose the files we want for upgrading
4. the files which are needed are "Different files" and "Unique files" from new firmware, so copy them to a new folder
also the "unique files" from old firmware must be deleted so "copy path names" and change path names to the correct pattern ex:"/appex/sys/blabla"
5. we can delete these files during PFS upgrade by adding the file paths to "/debug/PfsDeleteList.txt" file which we'll include it in our PFS
5. every thing is done
now just download wave_remarker and in FW view select "open dump" and select the files which we put into a new folder!
make a new folder named "debug" and put a txt file named "PfsDeleteList.txt" which contains the path of files which should be deleted during pfs upgrade
then save file as PFS
6. open multiloader and first check "boot change" and flash the new firmware's boot files
then again flash other firmware files (which does not contain FFS, CSC, shpapp (just the files which you extracted)) and includes pfs file
*note that no checkboxes in this level should be checked in multiloader
Thanks I will test this method
I have some questions from who have made this method
when i try dumping just FFS and making pfs of that in flashing it says error: shpapp write
when i try dumping FFS and Shpapp it says error: csc wite
when i try dumping FFS and shpapp and csc it says error: pfs write
edit
for deleting extra files i try putting all file paths into pfsdeletelist.txt
should i use _CSC_FsDeletelist.ini for some of them?
Sorry
I got no clue what you did wrong
Never tested the update from bada 1.2 to 2.0
Best Regards
when i tried bada 2 to bada 2 upgrade
everything was ok but at the end it says CMD_USB_LOCK fail
i could successfully turn my phone on but after some seconds a blue screen appears and it says:
platform "so" checking is failed

Then you didn't edit the file handling .so signatures to add in it new signatures
You can find such a file in the data folder with .so files

Its not ever easy.
Depend really exact on Firmwareversion and what you want or what you did...
NOT TRY if you need data on your handset.
At your own risk.

Feel free to learn.
Your handset will not explode, BUT again.
Security since XXJL2 is improved... since bada 2.0 higher.
All mistakes or Errors made by oyu leads to Security fail...
So you can loss data.
Backup before all you can.
Good luck.

I havent touched .so files ever
but as this is a custom rum which i want to upgrade to maybe the problem is here

MAYBE someone has time to check...
Maybe with password and password only via PM, to prevent noobs to kill their handsets...
3.
To add any other Apps is not good idea... also leads to fail...
Security HIGH

Now i have full flashed to another rom so i dont have that bluescreen to post it for you
but bluescreen is showing just that 2 lines i wrote
first of all i'll try another fw to upgrade to
maybe the problem was with this fw
if again i failed, i'll try to upload my files (cuz my internet speed is very low!!)
Oh WTF i think i've found the problem
when i make a pfs using wave remarker then i add it into multiloader, it writes s8500 in front of pfs
but my device is s8530
how can i solve this problem
i havent seen such settings in wave remarker
i myself found a solution for this and made a correct pfs
but again multiloader says CMD_USB_LOCK fail
I think the best way for me is to make a video of what i do yes?
and someone do me a favor and kindly check whats my fault
I'll make a video in the next days
but again multiloader says CMD_USB_LOCK fail

Depend what you did... you could ignore this from Multiloader...
I see this Info often if I play with my modified apps_compressed... or do other stuff. Then Autorestart not work with Multiloader...
Try to press ON OFF... (hold Button to force Restart)
At your own risk.
Not during Bootloader write.
Best Regards
I have encountered this error while using modified apps_compressed and rebooting was fine
but in this case when i try to reboot i see the blue screen or the handset stops on the first screen:

For S8530 you can't easy use modified apps_compressed... WITHOUT dataloss.
As you have to flash more then once ...
So all data is erased... before handset can start proper...

yes your right
but why we can't upgrade from bada 1.2 to bada 2?
by the way i've tried bada 1.2 to bada 1.2 upgrade and bada 2 to bada 2 upgrade but same problems

Samsung did some funny things...
"New" Bootloader, new Memory Map...
Compare adresses in Multiloader... so NOT same position...
So major changes... maybe not impossible for Samsung to convert some...
Anyway. Its Security reason and to have "clean new" OS.
Maybe also to clean all Spoofer...
I have not seen whole Video...
No idea yet.
Maybe someone else...

Ace 2 Gt-i8160L LATIN. How to install CM?

Ace 2 Gt-i8160L LATIN. How to install CM?
When I install CM, don't wok sim-card and not IMEI.
Restore IMEI don't helped.
This is modem or hw problems, i think.
Sorry my english is bad.
...
Replace tee folder in rom zip /system/lib with the one from stock rom
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
1) backup tee folder
2) On build.prop change all GT-I8160L to GT-I8160 (without L)
3) all wipes factory/cache/dalvik
3) Install CM_Xversion
4) Whith roo explorer replace tee folder
Enjoy.
2) also can delete assert :/
4) you can just replace in zip before flashing (just sayin)

Am located in New Zealand, and hence using model i8160L, running stock JB ROM
Am trying to modify / install Maclaw CM KK ROM -- but am having problems
-- it "reads" the ROM and "immediately" (afaik) but aborts installation
-- NO ERROR MESSAGES come up for any indication as to why it's aborting
Am trying to do the following -- appreciate any feedback to correct procedure if I'm making eny errors
(i) omitting any and all references to L in 8160L string -- should I restrict it to any particular lines? -- using Build.Prop Editor
-- the Settings/About Device shows it as an 8160, rather than an 8160L after the Build.Prop changes, but the boot screen still shows it as the 8160L -- but at least I don't get the error message about trying to install ROM on wrong device
(ii) before attempting installation, downloading the latest ROM, unzipping the ROM using 7zip, deleting "tee" folder
-- and pasting tee folder from the stock JB ROM installed on my phone
(iii) re-zipping the ROM using 7zip -- I notice I get a different MD5 to that llsted on the download page
(iv) attempting to flash the modified ROM in Recovery mode, but it aborts
Don't know enough to know if install procedure tries to validate the "to be installed" ROM's MD5 and aborts since it's different from that on the download page
Don't know what purpose of tee folder is -- is it to connect to local carrier?
How about if I try to install "unmodified" ROM (in its unmodified form) and once it's installed, if it does (?), replace the tee folder at that later stage, to check for ability to connect to carrier?
Do I need to unlock the SIM card first --- as that's also something I haven't done

Am located in New Zealand, and hence using model i8160L, running stock JB ROM
Am trying to modify / install Maclaw CM KK ROM -- but am having problems
-- it "reads" the ROM and "immediately" (afaik) but aborts installation
-- NO ERROR MESSAGES come up for any indication as to why it's aborting
Am trying to do the following -- appreciate any feedback to correct procedure if I'm making eny errors
(i) omitting any and all references to L in 8160L string -- should I restrict it to any particular lines? -- using Build.Prop Editor
-- the Settings/About Device shows it as an 8160, rather than an 8160L after the Build.Prop changes, but the boot screen still shows it as the 8160L -- but at least I don't get the error message about trying to install ROM on wrong device
(ii) before attempting installation, downloading the latest ROM, unzipping the ROM using 7zip, deleting "tee" folder
-- and pasting tee folder from the stock JB ROM installed on my phone
(iii) re-zipping the ROM using 7zip -- I notice I get a different MD5 to that llsted on the download page
(iv) attempting to flash the modified ROM in Recovery mode, but it aborts
Don't know enough to know if install procedure tries to validate the "to be installed" ROM's MD5 and aborts since it's different from that on the download page
Don't know what purpose of tee folder is -- is it to connect to local carrier?
How about if I try to install "unmodified" ROM (in its unmodified form) and once it's installed, if it does (?), replace the tee folder at that later stage, to check for ability to connect to carrier?
Do I need to unlock the SIM card first --- as that's also something I haven't done
(naturally, I've backed up and able to restore to what I had before attempting the install)

md5 sum change probably because you uncompressed and re-compressed file.
no you dont have to unlock carrier.
use total commander and delete first 3 lines in updater-script.(all before mount.. bahblablah) and then compress it, then try.
btw it doesnt show any status errors?

MANY MANY thanks for your very prompt reply, and further information
"status errors" -- as a result of ?? -- no status errors evident after rebooting with modfified Build.Prop
had lots of "fun" on my previous efforts with custom ROMs -- played with several on a Huawei G300 I had --
-- but, gee, this is an ongoing learning process -- now to learn about updater script !!!
(only learnt about Total Commander from your post - despite its high rating -- but note others have used other things for "text editing")
(but have discovered some TUTs on xda)
Reading more carefully through the posts I see it may be possible to flash the ROM, and then later, substitute the tee folder supplied in the Maclaw ROM with the stock JB one -- right?
I'll definitely learn more about updater-script, but I'll try to flash the ROM again without modifying the ROM === OK?

-Dont care about ro.build.model. once assert is deleted you dont have to change it. And its not mandatory.
-I recommended total commander just because its the only root browser i have that shows the assert in 3 lines exactly. Unless es etc. You can also use other editors ^.^
-like when installation is aborted, it says status 7(or 0 etc)

Many thanks!! KK installed -- that was the "fascinating" thing -- no status errors on previous failed attempt at installation -- nothing
but now it's installed -- with GApps added, and now to "worry" about the rest of it all
unsurprisingly -- if tee does what I think it does -- but I can't find a TUT on that anywhere
-- so currently, I can't connect to my local carrier, so it's currently not a :"phone" as such
even more frustratingly, computer found phone when it was first plugged in, but now seems to have lost it!! time to reboot system
-- and, it's been a while since I used CM but I can't find extsdcard!!

sorry, not used to that one -- for that matter, I tend to stay away from things affecting the system I don't know
so I'm lost in permissions in different apps -- can't find "paste" in CM file, and can't find RW permissions in ES!!
But you're being exceptionally patient! thanks, heaps

Many thanks for past help with intall procedure -- but have had repeated problems of late -- last installed ROM on March 9th -- could install several versions prior to that date, and use them successfully, but since then have been unable since I repeatedly get "Error searching for networks", and hence cannot connect to carrier, and hence unable to use phone as phone, though other functions seem to work OK, -- any ideas??

Very helpfull post. I was very much helped from your post. i use the items described in "how to optimize LOLLIPOP". For me it was very good someone to let me know wich app to be safely removed and wich can be freezed so the phone can work faster but without problems, so thank you for that list.
Second, 3C Toobox that you suggest is very powerfull as i saw and does alot of thinks others dont.
The App you are suggesting( Google,camera, FB, MX player) i have to report this
YOUTUBE, MX, GOOGLE CAMERA very easy downloaded and istalled and as you say they are very nice too.

But all the other thing work out and i think my phone is in better contition now. For all your knowledges and efford to share it with us i would like to thenk you very much

i 've been busy(tax season in my work) so i was not able to respond so far, but i wiil do so in next two days, i promise....
my comments about suggestions you made
As i have posted before, you have done a very good work, collecting all these tips and trick that really make our phone to work more smooth and fast. I followed all your suggestion and these are my observetions.
When i unistalled and freese all the apps and services you are suggesting, I noticed that the tablet is working 15-20% faster than before, so this is the first + for your project!
downloaded and tried to install all that you suggest. All are working very well except:
FB is not installing at all no matter what you do.( uninstall, clear data, reinstall it, etc)
Chrome i was not able to install x86, so i downloaded from Play and install new version. I am not fun of Chrome and for once again a realized how heavy load is this browser, i cant see why people are using it. XDA start page did 3 minutes to load, since Mozilla 10 seconds. Any way this is personal opinion .......
Instagramm cause me black screen on phone in the end of installation. I had to hold down power so the phone closes and restarting it. When came back Instagram is working very well !!!!
So the main problems are FB and Chrome for me.
I am using an APP I found here in XDA that compines FB - messenger -Twitter in on screen without heavy load phone you can give it a try if you want. The name is Slidechat and you can take it from Play for free
[APP][4.0+][v2.0]Slidechat http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-slidechat-t3382662
I hope i helped someone with these thought of mine.
The big value though are to ADBLOCKER effords who collected and tested all these things for us to find ready.
THANKS MATE @adblocker !!!!
thanks a lot for the guide, I'm trying to follow your instructions to root the device, but in the first step
(fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img) the only thing I get is a message
<waiting for device>
and nothing happens
when I start the device normally and connect it to PC it is detected fine and nothing is wrong.
any ideas?

Windows Phone Update Error 0x80070273

i have been trying for many days to fix this error problem Windows Phone Update Error 0x80070273 .. there was solution here in the forum about modify system file .. but the problem is when I apply full access on interop it show system files of the phone but all are protected as read only . so I can't replace or modify any files .. what to do to remove this read only protection on phone system files ?
I was on anniversary build 1607 .. then I started to update to CU and it finished download and installing but when restarted and I go to update it say there's Update Error 0x80070273 … and it seem that there are things are missing ..
what to do ?
why no one answer ?! there's no solution ? how to remove read only attrib from root !! I did full system view and i see the files but I can't edit or do anything to them

What do you mean by that?
What are the steps you used for obtaining "full system view"?
What phone model are you using?
Did you search the forums for your answer first?
---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------
At times the path for ndtk services gets changed. If this is an x20 device and you toggled the full filesystem access switch in Interop Tools and did the reboot but still cannot edit files. Toggle the restore NDTKSvc switch too and see if that helps.

Privileges are not being elevated for some reason to give rw to the mtp mount. You could try one of two things. Uninstall IT and then install this version here, and see if anything changes. Or you can download swish or another known working sftp/scp app and login as system via sftp and try. If none work, then there might be some change in the OS build on your phone that is causing a bug and not allowing rw access for mtp. You can check all the registry settings too. See if the mtp registry settings are accurate. If they are even try setting HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MTP\DataStore string to C:\Windows and see what happens.
no luck .. nothing worked .. I gave up about trying to modify that file … I have to find how to update from windows 1607 to 1703 by offline pacakage .. I have tried to use iutool but didn't work ..

i have been trying for many days to fix this error problem Windows Phone Update Error 0x80070273 .. there was solution here in the forum about modify system file .. but the problem is when I apply full access on interop it show system files of the phone but all are protected as read only . so I can't replace or modify any files .. what to do to remove this read only protection on phone system files ?
I was on anniversary build 1607 .. then I started to update to CU and it finished download and installing but when restarted and I go to update it say there's Update Error 0x80070273 … and it seem that there are things are missing ..
what to do ?
