Has anyone experienced after updating to JI6 that they cannot remove the bloatware from the apps menu? I tried removing it with Root Explorer but it still lingers no matter what I do.
EDIT: I updated my version of Root Explorer. I was running 2.12.1 I think, and updated to 2.12.4. Have to mount as R/W in, but it worked and I was able to get rid of my bloatware! Thanks the3dman, I would not have thought about checking what version I was running till you mentioned it.

I flashed the update and removed it with Titanium backup. It's all gone.

The old version of root explorer does not work on ji6 you need to get 2.12 it works fine on ji6.

Same issue...
I was bricked by the Tmob JI6 update... I followed Odin stuff... got my phone back to stock... rooted.
I reinstalled Root Explorer and I tried to start removing bloatware... it says that the software is read only.
Any solution or ideas?
PS: I paid for launcher pro, and now it looks like I don't have it... nor do I have an e-mail with my unlock code... what is the deal with that?
Terminal still works just fine.

is that even possible? my friend wants to be able to video chat, so i pulled the latest gtalk apk from viper rom, but i just realized because her phone is not rooted, and she does not have write access to the system, so she cant install this over the one she has now? any feedback or workarounds would be greatly appreciated
(yes i already searched)

Have you tried just installing the apk itself using ES File Explorer or Astro? I am not too sure if that will actually work but I don't know why it wouldn't.

yeah it says application not installed. should i try signing it first?
I have tried to update my Xperia Z tablet (Wi-Fi Xperia Tablet Z SGP311) but it fails each time. Bootloader is locked, and it is rooted. SuperSU(in survival mode) and the voodoo OTA root keeper are on.
Not sure why it wont flash to 4.2.2 (current stock 4.1.1 rooted).
Also Wondering if I should even bother updating to 4.2.2 this way or try the flashtool kernel workaround doomlord has?
Hello, i've the same problem with my SGP321. SuperSu in survivalmode and rootkeeper installed too.

Someone else had issues with update not installing, and someone asked if any system files have been modified?
If you do the OTA update only (as you stated), you dont need the OTA rootkeeper, just superuser ticked with survival mode, and SU installed as a system app (in settings menu). Maybe SU and OTA keeper conflicting, maybe OTA modify system files?
If you decide to install SU as system app, it might take several attempts, and several power downs. When I did it, it did not seem to be working, and tooks loads of reboots and attempts

Well I told voodo to remove its backup and uninstalled it. SuperSU is now a system app with survival mode on. Tried it again and same thing it gets about a quarter done installing then stops. Anyway to check to see if there's an error log?
Oh and I don't believe I messed with anything in the system files

nope, was considering doing that tho
I'm in the same boat. Stock 4.1.2 rooted with su as system app and survival mode on, but nothing else. Install fails every time. Sgp312
I had the same problem. The cause was a modified /system/apps folder. As a solution i copied the missing files from a FTF-File back.
If for example facebook.apk is missing the update will fail.
Oh wow, didn't consider that getting rid of some of the bloat would count. Go figure Facebook would **** it up for me. I don't have a computer anymore at home so I guess I'll start figuring how to get back what I got rid of.
..could anyone upload that system/apps/ folder? In the meantime I guess I can try pulling the ones from the zip of the Japanese stock ROM posted around here..
I can't find any way of extracting a .sin in android
Never mind. Copying the missing files out of the Japanese zip worked and I'm successfully updated!
thanks ill have to do the same it seems, yeah i belive I nailed a good lot of the bloatware :/
My have found my issue I updated youtube with an official but not from the stock app. Now I cant seem to downgrade from the apk from the global ftf. Any help on why root explorer would crash the tablet when trying to reinstall it?

Your best bet is to copy the entire system/app from stock over to your device. Also uninstall xposed framework or any other mods

What is xposed framework? I have no mods. Only ad Block.
Thanks
I did a factory reset, install nothing else but the root (super SU, obviously) and I still can't install the update via OTA. Any ideas?

attempted this, used ADB to remount the system as r/w and was copying over the first of the files fine with push but as soon as it hits the lockscreen.apk it crashes the tablet. Then have to go do the command line fu to get the darn thing remounted. And did it again. Any suggestions?

Hmm, not sure. I did it all from within the tablet using solid explorer. I compared the two folders and just copied over the apks that were missing.
I bought my daughter a Visual Land Prestige 7g. There is a crap ton of stuff on it that a 7 year old just does not need, so I decided to root it...or so I thought. I don't know what else to do. I have tried the simple root tools. I have downloaded and installed adb, and sdk, Nothing I try has worked. I am not a tech whiz, but I'm not a complete moron either. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated because I HATE to be defeated! Lol! Oh, I'm running windows 8 x64 in case that is relevant.
Also, I would like to add that
This tablet IS equipped with google. It has gmail, and google play store stock. Everything runs off of your gmail account that you enter when you first set it up. It is the 7G, not the 7L, or 7D which do not have google. Not sure if it makes a difference, or not.
Try Cydia ImpacTor

I tried quoting you on the last one, but it wouldn't let me because your quote contained an external link, and I haven't posted here enough to post external links Anyway, I have cyndia installed, but it says "no device found". I noticed that the tablet shows up in device manager, but not in the This PC (my computer) folder. Any idea why that would be? It shows up in device manager as Android > Android ADB Interface.

Someone else suggested to use the impactor, but said to use snappea first since it will install the needed drivers automatically. I did that and it worked. I am rooted. However, I still can't uninstall any of the bloatware. I have tried 3 uninstallers, and they all go through the motions and say the apps were deleted, but they are not. Superuser is granting access to them, so I don't know what the deal is now.
Try Root Checker

Ive tried two root checkers and both say im rooted. ive tried two su apps thinking maybe one wasnt functioning properly, but no change. I also tried es file explorer but it wont switch to rw. Just tried busybox, and I dont recognize any of the "applets" it is showing, plus its showing them all as "applet is currently not symlinked/installed. info about this applet could not be found". All these apps are doing is uninstalling the updates.
Need?

Hey, Ok so i updated my Huawei u8650 to android 4.4.2 and something went wrong with my root. I can open superuser and it shows my binary and all that and it says im rooted but when i go to a app that requires root access like terminal emulator for example and i type in the command su. nothing happens it just goes to the next line. and i tried to mount my SD card partition in link2sd and it said that the script cant be created because its not allowed to su.
I thought it could be that superuser just wasn't allowing permissions but i open superuser and there's no apps, no logs or anything. I checked my settings and they're all fine and i even tried to use SuperSU instead and i still got the same thing. There's no prompt to allow access either. I don't know if the apps are just not trying to get root access or what? No app can get root permission and i need to get this fixed so i can fix some bugs on the rom. Please Help.
Thanks to all who attempt or do help. Ill be sure to hit thanks for u.

i rooted by SRSroot first then first got the error then i unrooted and re-rooted by using the kingo root method but still received the same error. they are both windows programs u can run for root on multiple devices. They use USB debugging to root then device reboots and bam your rooted.
i used those methods because i tried to just flash the binary files through cwm recovery and it never actually installed into system. The two methods above installed binary and rooted my device but i cant give root access to any apps including superuser or supersu.
If anyone can help me with this it would be appreciated because i hit a wall and don't know what to do. No apps can get root permissions and i cant fix my play store, WiFi, speakers or theme chooser until the root is properly working because the methods to fix those bugs need root to function. so please if anyone has knowledge or any idea why i have root but cant get access please help me out.

If there is a custom recovery available for your device I would recommend flashing that and then flashing the latest SuperSU.zip package in recovery. Part of the problem is the orginal Superuser (by ChainsDD) while excellent at the time is now extremely outdated and no longer really be maintained, as a result make sure you flash a Superuser package compatible with Android 4.4.2 such as the latest version of SuperSU.
