You didn't give the details on what happened if you did those things.
But I suggest you follow EmoBoiix's instructions.

Rooted but not really

I've tried to root my s2 with both s2root and oneclick, both said it was already rooted, but when I started titanium backup it says my phone is not rooted.anybody know this problem and knows what I can do about it?

Best way to root is CF-Root kernel via Odin.Never fails.Just match your kernel to the root kernel in the thread and flash in PDA.

Check Superuser app and make sure Titanium Backup has SU rights. Maybe delete the permission and then restart tb giving permission and remember.

No. Not possible to use Root Explorer to remove files without root.
Try clearing aplication data first else use adb while in recovery to remove it.

[Q] Dead android when updating ota

My wife and I both have rooted L9 and used that script in /etc which freezes all the T-Mobile apps.
She was able to do the ota update but my phone shows dead android when I try it.
Any idea how I can get my upgrade to work?
The biggest difference I can think of between our phones is that I'm using link2sd and she's not.

Dude link2sd is your problem. Unlink apps and uninstall link2sd. Remember to uninstall busybox as well. Anything that modified the build.prop or system. Install voodoo ota rootkeeper and protect your root. Good luck!

Unfreeze the T-Mobile apps that you froze. Then uninstall link2sd... Try updating now and give me results.. And the only .apk that should be frozen is lookout security and LGsetupwizard.

No Dice, still getting dead android:
Unlinked all apps and unistalled Link2sd
Uninstalled Busybox
Unfroze everything except the two apks mentioned
I did use the Mass Storage script from this thread. It was installed via CWM. Could that be causing the problem? If so, what should I do to fix it?
Now I've gone and made a mess.
I didn't uninstall BusyBox, I only uninstalled the BusyBox installer APK. Now I can't reinstall that package to use it to remove the actual busybox binary. When I try to install Stericson's BusyBox installer from google play store I get "error downloading" RPC:S-5:AEC-0
Any idea where I should go from here?

Download a nandroid backup and you will have no worries. But you should make your own stock backup before doing any mods sui you won't have this problem again.

Thanks, I'm all set now.
Here's what I did:
Installed a rooted V20D nandroid from the sticky thread
Installed BusyBox
Used Voodoo Rootkeeper to preserve root
Installed the OTA upgrade (clear data for Google Services Framework then check for update in the settings menu to force this)
Upgraded SuperSU binary
Restored Root (I might have done this before the SuperSU binary upgrade)
Let the phone fully update itself
Reboot into CWM
Make an initial backup
Wipe all data and cache
Make a clean backup for the next time this happens (per Nathan's advice)
Restore the initial backup
Perfect glad I could help.

[Q] I'm a nub: I can't delete bloatware

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
