Help odexing file

Hello, i have a Note3 Mini clone, and i uninstalled the notes app via root uninstaller, my phone phone is bricked and stuck on the boot logo, i still have access to files and system stuff via ADB, if i reinstall the app i deleted will my phone work again??

I found out that the APK is still in the system/app folder, but not the odex file, so im wondering if putting it back would fix my phone... I already tryed for like 3 days, but im still unable to ODEX the APK, can someone help me??

Here is the link for the APK that i got from the Backup i made from my rom

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/70474117/NotesLite_1.0.12.apk

Thanks!!
 
This method isnt working for me, it doesnt return the BOOTCLASSPATH...
I just need someone that convert it to ODEX so i can push it back to my phone....

btw, being a software engineer doesnt mean i know about all the tech topics :p
 
Hi there TheKingNothing :)

It's been a bit since I last tinkered with app hacking and .odex/.dex files, but if I recall correctly the .odex should be automatically created by the Dalvik VM when the application's cache is built (while the .dex is contained inside the .apk, and includes the information necessary to create the device-specific .odex). I don't think that you could just copy a .odex from another device and make things work.

It kind of sounds like (to me) that while the NotesLite.apk file may exist on /system/app, it hasn't actually been installed (which would cause the cache and .odex files to be built).

Since you've got adb access, have you tried to install the application that way?

adb shell pm install /system/app/NotesLite.apk (or whatever the actual package name is) should do it.

Good luck! Let us know how you get on :D

Still not working, the phone is still stuck on the boot screen....
I also made a wipe on the cache and still not building the dex/odex files,
and there is no rom on internet for my phone and seems that the vender doesnt have a website..

btw, the command should return only this?

First, the easy part: yes, it looks like the command completed successfully. It only returns a message if there's a problem. I think - that's been a while for me too :D

To the bigger issue, I'm not sure what's preventing your device from booting. I don't think that's actually related to the missing odex file; I think the missing odex is more likely a symptom. The phone doesn't boot, so it doesn't have a chance to build the odex like it should.

Have you done anything else with the phone before it stopped booting?
 
Isn't the Note app on Samsung devices part of TouchWiz? That means they're all interdependent. Uninstalling it would cause the entire ROM to stop working. You should just recover your stuff and reflash a full TouchWiz ROM.

The things happened this way.

1. I rooted my phone with framaroot
2. Installed Root Uninstaller
3. Uninstalled the NotesLite app
4. Lot of crash messages appeared (so there are apps that depends of this one)
5. The screen became black
6. I took the battery out and the phone was stuck on the boot screen

I can't flash my phone with the stock or custom rom, since there is none for my phone...

I have this files, so i think i can build a file to flash via SD, but i dont know if i need the ODEX of the file to make it work.

And this is the info i got from MTK droid tools

btw, i was looking my other cellphone (zte that uses MTK processor too) and the SD flash file, uses the odex inside the system/app, so i will need the ODEX of the NotesLite to flash it right?

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas :(

For now, though, I'll move the thread to the Android Lounge - it gets a bit more traffic, and your question/issue seems to be a bit below the application level anyway. :thumbup:

I'll also try to direct some reinforcements your way :D
 
Been looking all over and can't find much. That's the problem with the knock-off devices, there's no support.

This may seem a no-brainer, but I didn't see anywhere that you attempted a factory reset from the stock recovery? Not sure if the procedure would be the same as any Samsung, but with the device powered off, try holding volume up+home+power.

If you get a menu, navigate to factory reset with the volume keys and use the power key to select it.
 
That was the first thing i did... factory reset + cache cleaning
Im really getting out of ideas :/, i seem i can port a MIUI Rom to use it in my mobile using some of my stock files, i already made it, but i cannot make my PC to recognice the drivers need to flash it (i can only use ADB atm), and was the same for CWM, i cannot make the port to my phone
 
Ok, so... I bought the same phone, and there is no ODEX file for the NotesApp, since i cannot install CWM and i cannot flash it with SP TOOLs how can i make a backup of my rom with the stock recovery and flash it via SD?

Were you able to somehow access an adb shell on the soft bricked phone earlier or were those screenshots from a different, working phone?
