i don't know either but you could try searching in a root file explorer app. Just check file explorer apps in playstore, I think es-explorer is kinda good and has root function.

In the explorer, just select the "/" (base folder) and then use the search function

If you had a nandroid (made before this problem occured) you could have restored your whole system to the point when it has been working :) I'll look into it and post here if I find smth

You could try to flash this repair firmware, it contains a lot of files!
