I rooted my evo using Revolutionary S-off. Not sure about this whole hboot thing so if someone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. I was running meanRom and everything was fine, but outta nowhere, the capacitive buttons started acting up. They only work sometimes now. Originally thought it was the rom so I switched to ICS rom and still experiencing this issue periodicily. I would like Sprint to take a look at it, but obviously I wont be covered under warranty if I bring them the device rooted. Any help is truly appreciated....TIA!

First, post questions in Q/A.
Second, just install a stock rooted rom and uninstall Superuser.

Use TB to uninstall Superuser and I would not restore any apps until your phone is fixed.

tried, but the SU app is asking to either "open" or "update".
Install the free ver if system tuner. It has an uninstall feature. It should get rid of Su.

Hi all,
How do I properly uninstall the Mobile AP app? I want to get rid of it before I receive the OTA update to JI6. Thanks.

i asked the same question on how to remove it without flashing back to stock. I just want to uninstall it. i have asked in several threads with no response...
there must be a way to do this without flashing back to stock....
use root manager's system app uninstaller and remove MobileAP.apk
you can do it with the new task manager in ji6
I tried to uninstall using Root Manager but It didn't work. It only makes Mobile AP useless but still in my wireless setting and I'm having force close problems because of it. I uninstalled the apk. and the data files but no luck.

as long you're rooted, you will not be able to successfully install the ota update. my gf's phone was semi bricked while two of her friend's with non rooted vibrant updated fine.
After removing the MobileAP.apk, try going into recovery and clearing cache.

Dont worry about the APP. I would personally recommend you keep it on your phone. You never know when you might need it. Unless you are running out of space.
Secondly, why are you waiting for Tmobile to push the update to you, when you can just grab a copy in the dev section and install it through ODIN. This way you do not have to worry about stuck at boot up issues that others are complaining about.

No, Titanium Backup will pull all your app information, including system info/apps, on the initial start up. So you can install it AFTER the fact and it will still see it.
That being said, I just checked mine and it only shows Mobile AP Settings, I went ahead and Froze it (basically freezing it will remove the program as if it has been uninstalled and disable it even though it is still technically installed) and it won't let me use the AP anymore (it just FC's), but the menu item is still there.
FYI though, the OTA will wipe your current ROM which includes the AP and replace it with stock JI6 so it will remove it for you when you get the OTA.
Now that I have said all that....I used my search-fu for you and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7730798&postcount=84
Don't know if it will work, but it looks promising and is worth a shot. As always, be ready to get out ODIN if it bricks your phone. Good luck.
EDIT: I believe a flashable zip will be the only way to revert the mobile AP because it must be installed with a flashable zip. It isn't an APK like normal as it is actually embedded in the ROM itself. (Thus the built in menu options).

I had the same issue. If it happens again when there is no update. Delete the data in manage applications uninstall/re-install. Thats what I did and it got mine working again. For anyone else who may have this issue.

Am I not doing something right because I can't get into CWM? I'm rooted of course and used Rom Manager to install CWM. While in RM I hit Reboot into Recovery but my system just reboots like normal.
Do I have to be unlocked for CWM to work? If not what is the trick I'm missing?
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I couldn't find it.

Vipermod is just root. To unlock you have to download the unloker from Asus. Once you do that and activate the unlocker you can't lock it back up and void the warranty for good. I'm surprised at that since CWM works fine on my DroidX and it's bootloader is locked up tighter than this is.

What is the easiest way to get it back? I did make a twrp recovery at the beginning. Only thing I did was let a few apps update. Guess that will do it? So can I just wipe and reload? Many thanks in advance.
darn it. no backup logs in twrp...
I guess I never made a back up. so I will have to redo I guess. ?

If you have a custom recovery just re flash the super user zip and that should give you root. Or flash a pre rooted ROM.

Well I just did a flash. All good now. Is there certain apps that will dump you off root. Say Google wallet? Thanks all.
Clearing caches helps root to stick. Otherwise, you might lose root again upon your next restart.
But that's only in some cases.

None to my knowledge. Since your back up and running make a nandroid asap. That way if it occurs again you can just restore your nand.

I seemed to have had root access, then I updated about 7 apps, one of which was super su. I am rolling with an older version cause the newer version would not let me use free wifi app. So I went back to cwsw99 and Is finfine, when updated the app, all aps ncluding su I lost root. Maybe a coincidence. ?
gosh, lol.
I didn't thank my question was too hard lol. I had root access and then I updated apps and then I lost root access right after. maybe it is just a coincidence but 1 of them was super su. That got updated.
when I originally rooted my phone I accidentally took the latest ota, right b4 i rooted it, now i have to be s-on. I am on 2.09 hboot, running stock 3.15.651.16. Also, the cwsuv99 worked great, but said bianarys out of date. Updated the su app to super Su and was still rooted but no more
wi-fi. So I went back to cwmv99, and I now have wifi again, that's all I want.
Than, back to my op..... lol I had a bunch of app updates and I went ahead and updated. Noticed right after my wifi didn't work. But more importantly, lost root.
Now I have root back, running the older, outdated su, cwmv99, so my wifi works. All is well right now however I just seen there is a new ota out lol. I will not take it !!. Any one know what it does? The newest ota?
Sorry to confuse. I just want my wifi with no additional charge lol, I pay my carrier enough already.

Updating your apps should not cause you to loose root. However if you let the playstore update all of your apps then more than likely you had a update to su. Since su is an system app then the play store probably pushed an update on top of the su system app. This might have caused your issue. "Might"
Su is one an app that "imo" should not be updated threw the play store. Also when you say your "wifi" stopped working your referring to wifi tether I believe. So posting your wifi stopped working is kinda misleading lol when your referring to wifi tether. Also what current rom are you on ?? There's a mod you can do to get the native hotspot working without the app.
