I have this old LG Optimus S which I haven't used as a daily phone in nearly two years, but I've kept it in a drawer just to have an extra media player to use on wi-fi at home. It was rooted and running HydroRom.
While trying to free up internal memory, I force-uninstalled a system app which apparently should not have been deleted, because now the phone won't boot up. It just hangs on the HydroRom graphic with the splashing drop of water, and won't go any farther. Unfortunately I don't remember which app I was deleting.
Is there any way I can at least put this phone back to stock condition, or open in recovery to see if something might be on the external card which I could use to restore it? Unfortunately, I don't seem to have an SD adapter that will work in any of my computers, so is there a way I can get around this? The main thing I want to do with it is stream Internet radio. We have a single-piece music player that does CDs, LPs, and OTA radio. We use the radio more than any of the other features, but let's face it, commercial OTA radio isn't that great what with all the commercials and unadventurous formats. The music player has a auxiliary jack which I can patch an Android device into.
I could use my current phone to do this, but it's more convenient to use my old spare Optimus mainly because of battery issues. If I play the phone through the stereo system and then need to go out, my battery might be half drained. If I can use the Optimus instead, I don't have to worry as much about the battery on my Galaxy.
