ok.. im all done rooting.. got lagfix.. and tried rom manager and there wasnt an option for the fascinate.. so i guess ill wait on that.. any recommendations on what else to do.. i want to get rid of all the bloatware.. but im not sure how..
Use root explorer (download from market), and rename the bloatware packages you want to get rid of to .apk.old.
An example, rename /system/app/Blockbuster_Stub_v0_2_build_12-unsigned-signed.apk to Blockbuster_Stub_v0_2_build_12-unsigned-signed.apk.old
This will remove the Blockbuster application from your list of installed programs.
Do I can't use titainium backup?

After trying to install the new OTA updated and got stuck on the vibrant/samsung screen I use ODIN to get back to original and install the new tar file...however now I lose root and I wanna deleted some of the bloatware that is on my phone now.
I used the one click root on my vibrant the first time I root if I use this again will it work or is there another method?

All of the existing root methods work with JI6, so you're okeedokee.
I have tried all day to regain root access. I had to use ODIN to get the update correctly. I used the one click root (update.zip) method but still cannot delete any of the bloatware or irritating startup/shutdown sounds.
I can use ROM Manager to Reboot Into Recovery but when I try to use Root Explorer to delete unwanted apps or those god awful sounds it gives me the following message:
"Warning PowerOn.wav cannot be deleted because the file system is read-only"
Now I know this means that I don't have full root access. I am going to try to uninstall and reinstall Root Explorer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem (unable to delete bloatware) but I installed the latest root explorer and I delete all of the (safe) bloatware without a problem.
I don't know about the "intro" cause I have my system volume on minimum.

If super user pops up to ask for permission then you are rooted. With Root Explorer giving you the read only error, there is the toggle button at the top to go back and forth between R/O and R/W. Give that a shot before starting the process all over.

That was it. I never noticed that up there before. Thanks for that advise. Finally starting to feel normal again after the whole OTA update debacle.
i have tried all of the options mentioned, however when i select deleted it will say that the file was deleted but it still wont delete it off of my phone and when i go back into root explorer it is there again..........any ideas as to what may be happening?
OK...I am new to Android. I have my phone rooted but am wondering how can I uninstall some of the junk that came on the Thunderbird. Stuff like Blockbuster and the Golf app. Also how can I change my boot screen? Any tips would be helpful.
Titanium backup,(suggest pro where u can freeze them) is the easiest way.

I downloaded Titanium backup and it says i am not rooted. I have ROM manager and superuser in my all apps screen.
I chose to install one of the custom roms that just removed the Verizon apps... Provided link below. Though did have to redo some of the root process after flashing the custom rom, but not a huge hassle. Plus got rid of the bloat thanks to adrynalyne

still learning this phone. Not sure if I am ready for that yet I do not even know how to flash to a new rom yet. I used the fast root method that just came out yesterday to gain root to the phone. I know....I am not hard core yet.

free version is ok but pro is better... you can freeze apps first, if it messes something up defrost it and dont uninstall!
Thanks for the help guys. Do you think getting rid of the apps like Blockbuster, Golf, Twitter etc would do any harm?
I deleted mine with TiB, no problems...
now i just have to figure out how to delete them
I recently got a Toshiba Thrive, and did the ota update not knowing it was going to ruin my chances at root (hopefully only for the time being) but I have a lot of themed apps I want to use on it, but they all need installed into the /system/apps folder because they were themed. None of them are actual system apps, but custom themed apps from the market. Is there any (free) apps from the market that corvert them or change their permissions that will do this right on an android device?
Test with Titanium Backup

Just tried that, I get "cannot convert to user app". I used metamorph to theme all of them.
Without root it won't allow to do this. TIBU failed because it needs root to do it. You are gonna be out of luck until you can root.

i know it won't work without root, I tried converting it on my rooted thunderbolt, I still got the same error.
Nevermind, I found out it wasn't working because I didn't sign them
Recently rooted s4. I tried using Rom Toolbox to uninstall some of the factory bloatware and it doesn't work. It goes through the motions as if it's uninstalling it, a popup with a percentage comes up, finishes and closes but the apps are still there. How exactly do I go about removing some of this awful bloatware?
I prefer to use tibu backup or root explorer. Most file browsers you have to grant read write privileges or it wont work.

Use link2sd for removing system apps

Must be rooted, TiBU and or Root Explorer...TiBu is the safest, and you may want to freeze them first to see if you have issues, then if you don't, delete them.
Good luck...
Thanks
