[Q] Uninstalled the downloads app now phone won't download.

dpdgamer · Jan 23, 2014

Hey guys. This is the first time I got myself in a jam I couldn't fix. I was trying to speed up my phone by deleting bloatware and unneeded system apps. I was following a thread online about what to delete etc. Long story short I I Uninstalled the downloads apk and now my phone will not dl anything from the playstore and when I dl from browser it acts like it has downloaded the file but the files won't work.

Example I tried to dl the project x rom to reflash it and restore the downloads apk but when choosing the file in recovery it stalls and says file is bad. I tried several different roms and downloads using agat recovery and Odin mobile but the downloaded files were all duds now. So I really don't know what to do now that iI can't download anything to flash and get my downloads apk back. Couldn't find the file online either. I'd be eternally grateful if someone could help me figure this out or knows where I could get said apk from the Internet. Thanks in advance guys

I can upload the file, but do you have a PC or another device to download from? BTW always keep a ROM or preferably a nandroid on your SD in case something like this happens.

If you could upload it if be eternally grateful lol I'll find a way to do it. Pc is broke too atm times are rough right now lol but if you up it I'll dl it somehow. Appreciate it man.

Oh another thing I noticed is that Google. Process. Gapps keeps stopping as well but I already tried the fixes for that via app manager and it's not working. I have a copy of the rom died from my phone but it won't flash I'm assuming the file is bad since whatever I dl has about a 50/50 chance of working now Sometimes it works other times it says bad file when I try to flash but I never had a problem flashing this rom before deleting downloads

Working just fine on my end

Hmm this is weird. Doesn't work for me. Lol thanks for trying. I'm gonna get on my inlaws Pc this weekend and see if I can flash the rom after dling it on the Pc then xfer to phone. If that doesn't work I guess nothing will. Am I supposed to have 3 Com . android. Provider apks? That's another issue I might have.

Would you consider an Odin one click to stock? Seems you have more than one issue that needs to be resolved. Thats the fastest fix that can be provided. Considering if you can download a 400MB file.

Check out Erikalin 's stock app in the themes and apps section, If that fails dirty flash the rom you're running, it should fix the issue.
