Ok,Here is what happen,
I was urooting and stock recovery,That all went good.No problems.
Then I had my phone in stock recovery and I left it on the coffee table,I went to the store.
And when I got back my wife told me my nephew[He's 7 years old] had been playing with my phone.
So needless to say,My phone is jacked.
It's missing all the Boost Mobile Courier Information.
Can anyone help me?,Or am I screwed.
It will boot,But the screen is black.Although I do have navigation bar and I can access system settings.
I can also get to stock recovery and FTM mode.
 
Somebody said something about reactivating the phone by pulling battery then get info under it or such, not sure. Can you make any calls?

No,I tried that already.
But I was thinking of;
Rerooting and using ab shell to reinstall CWM and then use the stock recovery img,to bring back everything.
Will this work?
And if it will,I will need help with the ab shell.

Do you have your launcher and apps? Or is that jacked up too. Cause you can reset programming to restore your boost carrier info.

no launcher,just a black screen with the navigation bar which i can get to system settings

You don't necessarily need root to fix this. You just need to enable ADB debugging from the settings and download a launcher from your computer. Then cd to where you saved your launcher.apk and in cmd type 'ADB install name of file.apk' and to fix your Boost configuration just reset programming.

I really need help with exactly how to do this.Please.
I'm using an old xp windows machine and I do have Android SDK Tool installed.
 
its most likely just a problem with your rom itself not the carrier info. get cwm on there then flash a fresh rom, should solve your issues. you can try the other methods but if the launcher went missing then i think its safe to assume he didnt hunt down and kill just the launcher, chances are there are a whole bunch of things now missing that will cause all kinds of wonderful malfunctions
 
as far as trying the other method though, heres what you do
android debugging enabled in settings
download the launcher to the computer
go to command prompt on the pc
type cd followed by the path to the launcher like so
cd C:\downloads
that is assuming you downloaded it to a folder directly on the root of the c drive called downloads, yours will differ
you will then need to type this command with the phone plugged in and recognized as adb debugging, that means making sure the driver is installed, making sure debugging is enabled on the phone, and youll want to make sure adb is properly linked to, if you type "adb devices" it should list the phone, if it doesnt list it the drivers or phone debug setting are no good, if it says adb not a command then find where adb.exe and its two .dll files are, take those three things and fastboot.exe, copy them to your windows\system32 folder, then adb and fastboot are permanently installed in your computer so youll never have to worry about finding them, windows will find them for you
adb install launcher.apk
^that is of course assuming that you have it named launcher.apk, if you changed the name or something youll have to change it up
 
well if you know terminal emulator adb should be easy, typing adb shell in the command prompt gives you a direct terminal line to the phone so you can execute the same exact commands without having to type them out on the phone. there is also adb install, adb push, adb sideload which can flash a rom in cwm without even having to put it on the phone, and when you run into a problem you can adb logcat it, itll give you the readout of everything that went wrong though its normally kinda vague and unhelpful to your average user. adb is a wonderful tool though

Yes thanks, I have been doing some reading up and practicing. I plan on creating an adb thread to help my fellow friends here. I'm finding it easier than I had originally thought. ;)
