[Q] Samsung Captivate Broke After Removing Bloatware

[loganfynne]

I took off all the AT&T applications from my phone, and now my phone can't download anything. Everytime it tries to, it says
"android.process.media has closed unexpectedly"
and it makes me force close it. I am new to android and am horrified that my new phone is broken. Please help me! If any of you have a backup of the AT&T applications that I deleted, or if you know of any way to completely restore the OS to factory defaults I would be very pleased. Thank you in advance.

Download Odin in the Development section and reflash back to Stock. JF6 is the stock firmware for the Captivate. I dont know what you took off to cause that but my phone does not have the bloatware and works perfectly!

Cheers,
Charlie

Good possibility that you removed the TWLauncher because I got the same FC issue afterwards. Just like the previous post mentioned, just use the one click odin in the dev forums to restore your phone.

There is a file called media hub or media provider or something, and if you remove or rename it your phone will go crazy. At least i had similar issues once before.

Its not media hub, that is just the site for samsung when they get their stuff working to download stuff. It could be the other one but just use odin from the app/dev section.

well I had something very similar happen to me and reflashing back to stock worker, but I also heard that reinstalling the stock android market fixed the problem. Not sure where to get the apk, but I'm sure you could find it somewhere.
