SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a user who attempted to deblot their Itel S23 smartphone by following a tutorial that involved using the Shizuku app and Canta to delete applications. The user mistakenly deleted all apps instead of just the bloatware, resulting in a non-functional device stuck on the loading screen. The consensus among forum members is that the user should seek professional repair services to reinstall the system software, as they lack a backup and cannot perform a factory reset themselves.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Android operating system functionalities
  • Familiarity with the Shizuku app for Android
  • Knowledge of the Canta application for managing app deletions
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for smartphone issues
NEXT STEPS

  • Explore professional repair services for Android smartphones
  • Investigate data recovery options for deleted files on Android devices
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for Android users, particularly those looking to optimize their devices by removing bloatware, as well as individuals interested in understanding the risks associated with app deletions and the importance of backups.

So in order to remove bloatware on your phone you deleted everything and you don't have a backup and you can't do a factory reset. I would bring it in for repair to reinstall the system software.

Sadly, you will have to manually recover phone numbers and remember passwords and redownload your apps unless of course the files are still on the phone marked for deletion.

We can't help you at all but know the pain you are going through. Many times people drop their phone in water and poof everything is lost.

In future, make sure to backup your phone and be skeptical about apps asking you to delete stuff. Personally, I deleted the bin directory on a Unix machine and upon reboot nothing came up. However we were able to restore the directory from another Unix machine.

In your case, I think the best outcome will be to have a professional do a factory reset to get your phone operational again and maybe your contacts are on the SIM card still.
