Hi,
i am Jatin and i use a HTC Explorer, i rooted it some time ago and installed something like super user and links2sd.
yesterday i was removing some apps and accidentally i deleted playstore and the market (1st i uninstalled updates then the main app) app both using links2sd, please help what to do i don't know anything about tech terms.
Please help its really difficult without a playstore.

There is nothing like vending.apk in system app and i don't know how to place it or do anything else
 
in that case, the only other thing i could suggest is a factory reset or re-flash of stock software, sorry :(
only possible suggestion is dont try and install it from the system folder if thats what your doing.
 
You need to download the app, then install the app to the "/system/app" folder. When you download the file to the sd card or transfer it, the default permissions will be something like rwxr-r-r or something to that nature. Once, you have this app> move into the folder, "/system/app" that I mentioned above, then hold down on the app and change the permission of the app to "rw-r-r" once done exit out. I normally suggest a reboot, but that is not always needed, to be safe Reboot then go back into the /system/app folder finding the Playstore apk make sure the permissions are correct, exit and open the application.

so, you dont actually have to install it? just put it there and the system installs it automatically, i presume?
