in recovery-mode should i delete user data or cache data ? after boot up the only thing that moves is the pull down menu but no response from it at all.
i have put the root update zip in place but reluctant to root..
I would recommend using Odin to get back to stock. Then get root using your update.zip file and hopefully you have a backup with Titanium backup to restore.
Let me know if you need any of the applications as I have them saved just in case.
What app was it? Are you able to uninstall it ? Also, if you can get there, try resetting your phone to factory. That might clear it up. If not , try ODIN, here's the tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810130
Use caution.

it was a livewallpaper app that had screensaver attatched to it, but it was not in the livewallpaper folder.it wanted permission like a launcher and when i gave it it locked my phone up..my task manager wont kill it.it's some sort of malware im sure..i have odin on my pc but never backed the phone up..never rooted
The best part about root is Titanium Backup. I had root for a while before running any roms etc just to be able to backup all my texts, apps and settings. It paid off when the JI6 OTA soft bricked my phone and I had to Odin to stock.

I wanted to know if there was a way to remove apps such as MobiTv and other apps that came with the phone. Some are really pointless and just take up space. My device isnt rooted.
Yep you have to root it first then you can start removing apps.
I rooted mine using the instructions in the Developement area.
Used Root Explorer to creat a folder in your sdcard. Of course any app can do that.
I then used Titanium Backup and made a backup of everything.

Have fun.
after having root where are them stock apps located.. i cant find them in linda file manager..or the application list?
Removing apps
Use titanium backup to uninstall the apps you don't want after you back them up.
if you select an app that you don't like in the list it will come up with a host of options, one will say un-install. this should remove it from the device.
and if you backed it up ahead of time, you can usually reinstall without an issue.
just don't remove twlauncher..
My phone isnt rooted tho...

your phone is REQUIRED TO BE ROOTED to uninstall stock applications. It is not a choice, you have to do it if you want to remove them. It's a really simple process and takes less than 2 minutes to do. It's really hard to brick your device by rooting, its just too simple.
When you're rooted you can many options to do what you want to do:
- Root Explorer (Paid App)
- ADB (takes a while to setup the environment if you don't have it already set up)
... and the other methods that i didn't list.

Apps can be backed up with titanium backup. Just make sure it's backing up to the external card, not internal.
New updates shouldn't wipe the phone if it's only the newer version of the same build. Just load the zip on to the external card and run the recovery app to load it
But sometimes you have to wipe everything to get a new rom.

Titanium Backup works perfectly. It backsup everything from settings to homescreens to apps. As long as your phone has enough space to store the backup (or large enough sd card) you can store your backup files from the phone to the computer. Then update. Reinstall Titianum Backup from market. Copy the backup files back to your phone, and restore using TB

i know that, i have titanium backup, but you didnt answer my question....
i will need to wipe everything, use RSDLite to install 4.1.27 (i think it was) and then restore all the apps and then update the phone to the newest release and then put gladatrix again???
or just update the phone without wiping everything and restored to factory and it will work?
I didn't have to go back to .26. I just ran rsd with the .83 download, re rooted, and reflashed

Help,
Found similar topics but no real solution.
Was on Wolf v6s. Backed up all my apps. Went back to stock with SEUS, installed titanium restore and choose batch.
All my apps are greyed out! I can't manually restore them. it just says: What would you like to do? and no buttons to click. They are stored on SD/titaniumbackup
No problems restoring my messages, wifi connections, ...
Please don't tell me that it's lost cause I really need them.
What titanium version do you have? Pro or root? If you have pro can you try root.
If thats not working then go
Settings>Applications>Titanium Backup>and select clear data or cache
If thats still not working, uninstall then install again.

I just have root. Clear cache didn't do anything cause I had to reinstall titanium after full wipe.
Reinstalling also didn't do a thing, cause i just installed it after wipe.
I'm still hoping
Use root explorer or astro file manager. Go to sd files, open titanium folder, and either install from there or cut and paste to data/apps then reboot.

So i unrooted my gtab because my girl wanted to return it at first because she didnt like it. Now she plays all these games and such and now that we are keeping it i want to root it again. Is there a way to back up her games she plays so she doesnt have to start over

Rooting doesn't erase your data.
Also you can use Titanium backup app to backup all apps and its data.
Sent from my GT-P7510
titanium requires root so you won't be able to use it prior to rooting
the rooting process should not affect your data at all but if you are worried, simply back up your files to your pc
I thought rooting with odin wiped? Last time I rooted titanium couldn't find root. I was for sure rooted I was running in Paris rom

I was reading up info on if its possible to backup your data before rooting, since I know rooting will erase it, and I ran into this:
http://www.thedroiddemos.com/2011/08/14/how-to-root-the-htc-evo-3d-video-walkthrough/
I had no idea you could temp-root, and to be honest, at the moment, I just want to have root to perform a backup and remove some stock apps, not install a custom ROM or anything, but I have a few questions about this.
1. Whats with the section on clearing the temp root? Does it leave files on there even after the root is gone?
2. This temp root seems to be similar in theory to a theatered iphone jailbreak, but once I reboot my phone, does the root just go away and everything is back to normal, or do I have to use the SDK to boot my phone at all from then on? I am asking because of the clear temp root section.
3. Would a temp root cause any problems with future updates, or is there no way to know that?
4. Could I install an app that requires root access to work while temp rooted? I want to install Airblocker, but it needs root access. Do you only need root to install it, or would it stop working once I reboot and the root is gone?
5. The main reason I want to do this is to remove most of the stock apps Sprint installed that you cannot normally uninstall, will they just appear as uninstallable once rooted or do I have to use an app to remove them? And if so, what?
6. Do does this Titanium Backup basically create a copy of your entire current ROM so you can re-flash it and get your phone to exactly the state it was in when the backup was made, or does it only backup files and settings so you still need a working ROM and mostly the same apps installed in order to do a recovery? If one does flash a custom ROM, how can they recover their apps and all their settings (.... and videogame progress) to a different ROM?
That's cool, haven't seen that either. Looks nice!
1. All this does is return the original stock rom back to normal, just like it was freshly updated and turned on.
2. This being temp root, yes you will always have need of a computer after every reboot.
3. All rooting does is give access to folders previously locked. That being said, having access should not mess up an update, just do not CHANGE anything in those now accessible folders.
4. Most apps check for root access as soon as it runs, so yes, when rebooting you will have problems with root access.
5. You will have to use another app, titanium backup should do it, so should ROM toolbox.
6. Titanium takes the backup of the APK file and the data for that file. So, when reinstalling, it installs the apk first, then restores the data exactly as it was when it was backed up. It only backs ups apps, not the entire rom. You will need a recovery image to do this.
I recommend fully rooting your phone and switching to a re-analyzed stock rom, like mean rom or something, thats what I run. It has most of the stock apps removed and is fast as ****. When you make your backups before you root, just keep them there and restore them once you have a different rom.
Hope this helps a little.
