Android Question

Guest
Hi guys and gals
I messed up first of all and am hoping someone can help pleeease
I bought an android 2.3.9 unlocked no name Chinese phone model CVXT-M329 on the box.
(I checked under the battery and it says model CUBOT C7)
it had a bunch of go keyboard and go crapware that i wanted to get rid of
so i rooted it with z4root and then installed link2sd and unistalled the go apps twitter, facebook apps nothing else now the phone just displays an android character with the word android under that a circle with lines that keep going around and thats it.

I tried the power and up key and it boots to:

spreadtrum Factory test
phone test
factory used

full phone test
view phone test result
item test
BT EUT
CTP calibrate
exit

when i press the power and down volume i see:

triangle with red exclamation point and a phone pic under it

I would appreciate any help on this
Thanks
 
I realise that you can't answer this post unless you register or post another question, but I'm going to ask a few questions anyway because the answers to them might be helpful to you in understanding the problem, or the risks of making it worse.

Do you know what other Go apps you removed? And did the phone have alternatives, e.g. did it come with another keyboard as well as Go keyboard? The second question is important because if you removed the only pre-installed keyboard then even if you installed another first if you do a factory reset you will be left with no keyboard (a factory reset erases user apps and data, but cannot restore deleted system apps).

My real worry is that one of the apps was "Go Launcher", and that that was the only launcher you had installed. The launcher is the app that provides the desktop and the app drawer, so without that you have big problems. If you might have done that, then boot the phone up and then go to a computer and try to install apps (launcher and keyboard) from play.google.com. If the phone still has a data connection and is logged in to google then these apps should install themselves on the phone. When that's done try pressing the home button, or else rebooting the phone, and see whether you get a desktop back.

Otherwise all I can think of is when you have the red exclamation point, try other buttons (volume keys, or volume + power) to see whether you can get a menu. That could be the recovery app, in which case there should be a menu you can use. If you can get the option to clear cache that would be worth a try, maybe even a factory reset (if you are sure that the system software still includes vital apps like a keyboard and launcher - if not then a factory reset will only make things worse).

For some phones I could advise on just reloading a fresh set of system software, but I've no idea how to do it/where to find it on that model.

Good luck!
