 |
|
| I just got an android phone and added apps and things. I didn't backup anything onto my computer. My internal storage was getting low so I started to dump data from some things I though were not important. Boom! I dump something that I shouldn't. My phone doesn't open. It just has a generic screen and I can't get into it. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers. |

| I see what I did was dump the apk that opens the phone. I need to download a stock apk and put it back on the phone. Does anybody know where I can get stock apk. files for android? |

It would probably be easiest to just re-flash the firmware. You can easily find your firmware online and flash via a program called Odin. Or just pop into the AS center for your phone and have them do it.  |

Okay that's good news. Is everything they need to know about the phone located behind the battery? Should I bring any specific information to the AS center for them? Thanks. |

| If you go to the AS center you won't need to show them anything. Just simply say I deleted some important files. They will repair for free most likely. Did for me |

Do you recommend an AS center or anyone will do? (I'm in eastern Seoul). |

It's not. It's just some generic Android phone I got from China. Model number A7100. I'm feeling doomed. |
