Well, I couldn't figure it out, so I gave it to my brother who swore he rooted his phone and was an expert. When I got my phone back, not only was the downloader provider still gone, but my marker and navigation (WTF?) was gone too.
Before, when I had deleted the downloader like an idiot, I could no longer download anything from the Market or web. Now, my market is gone, my nav, and I cannot get any apps at all for my phone.
I've tried going to the market online, and says it installs, but it never makes it to my phone.
Anyone have any clue whatsoever how to fix this? If I deleted it with Titanium backup, a phone reset won't bring it back, will it?
I found the file on a site for the download provider,apk and transferred it to my SD card, but like I said, when I try to install it, it always fails.
To help you out a bit no factory reset will not undo root I will just remove the apk. That allows you to have root access and afactory reset will not do anything if u removed a apk from the Tom it cannot be recovered so just install clockworkmod on your phone and install a .zip that's your phones original rom@Coderaz: Thank you for your help! Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do what you've said. I am a total newbie to this, but I can follow directions. Could you guys give me a step by step? I have no idea what ADB is or how to mount, push or refresh. So, you're gonna have to explain it to me. Don't laugh.
I said don't laugh.
I rooted the phone with the step by step you can find on this forum, so if you can point me right, I'm sure I can do it. This was a really stupid failure on my part. While deleting bloatware or other stuff thru TB, I removed the downloader (which was one space above the file I meant to remove) and didn't realize it until I had hit 'yes'.
If all else fails, knowing I can reset the phone helps. And that restores it to factory condition? Do I have to root the phone again?
Don't beat yourself up... we've all been there in some way or another.
