I've been looking to get rid of this file on my phone and no matter what I do I can't get rid of it. I've tried almost every file manager, deleter, eraser, u name it I've done it but it still remains there. I've connected to my computer and tried ccleaner and revo uninstaller and that didn't even work. Its not a big file but is becoming annoying. Its labeled "exit_only-changelog" and is only 4-5kb and includes a txt file that's called "NOS injection exit only log"
Anyone have any ideas how to remove this stupid file?

Sounds like it is just recreating itself whenever you delete it. Nothing much you can do about that.

What do u mean recreating? There's got to be a way to erase it. Doesn't there?

He means it's tied to an app or service on the phone. The app or service needs that file (for logging purposes etc.). So when you delete it, the app or service is recreating it.
Newts rom? Sounds like the rom is creating it. If so no reason to delete it.
Init'd scripts could be recreating it

I have located the cursed CD-ROM.iso file that helps trigger the autoload and prompt for Verizon Media Manager; it's in \system\etc.
Unfortunately, an attempt to rename it didn't survive reboot from temproot to normal; the directory repopulated. Perhaps someone else can figure out a away to kill or freeze it (I don't think Titanium will freeze anything that isn't an application).
maybe Scott's CleanTool?
yeah deleting it through root explorer just forced my phone to reboot

Boy ... we sure could use some Root

I wish it were that easy, but see from his own thread this post. Reboot restores the file (I just noticed that myself after experimenting with it.)
I don't think anything written to \system (and probably any other root directory) survives reboot after temporary root.
Turn off autorun on your pc. You should because it helps protect against viruses.
The ISO itself is not the try problem. Its whatever app mounts the ISO.
Can't you disable Auto-Run on just that drive?

Thanks for the info guys. Seeing vcast manager makes me homicidal.

YEah, you can do that...
But the point is there is a rouge app out there that forces that ISO to mount. I want to find that app and kill it.
Fern, any thoughts?

It behaves similar to the sandisk u3 drives, basically a partition disguised as a virtual device.
Guess no progress has been made on this issue???
I DETEST it...and I think it's the culprit preventing me from using the HTC Sync software....
Are you rooted? I believe they found it in System/etc

Crap...nope...not rooted.
Was trying to hold off on rooting...
I don't think there is much you can do but disable auto run on your PC. At least you won't get that annoying pop up. Con247 mentioned it earlier in this thread.
I installed poweramp and then uninstalled it and now it says I have insufficient space. I can install other applications just fine. I've tried the fix for the similar titanium backup but it didn't work. I'm on tasks aokp 4.0.4

Check your data/apps folder to see if the apk is still in there even though you uninstalled.
I already tried that but I don't see anything.

i had the same problem with TiBu only. No other apps gave me that error. I ended up wiping and reflashing the rom. Its been fine since. I had no idea what caused it. I first tried to wipe data on the Play Store but that didnt fix it either.
quertyaas, you were right I found the problem. I was looking in the wrong data folder. I was using astro but found it with root explorer.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
Nyydynasty, next instead of reflashing, just look in your data folder for a TiBu related odex file and delete it.

good to know. I didnt think of doing that - lol
I was having some intermittent BT issues anyway, so a reflash wasn't completely uncalled for

Ya, for some reason when you uninstalled it the APK still remained in the data/apps folder. The app wasn't installed but since it was still in the folder, it wouldn't let you reinstall it.
Good first step to check if this happens again. Check the data/apps folder with Root Explorer (I should have mentioned that in my initial response ).

wow thanks! that totally worked! i have a g2x and i googled titanium backup insufficient storage and found this. thanks so much! although after that (or maybe before i didnt notice) the battery was showing as 999% when i knew it was somewhere around 40
Anybody come across a way to free up mobile hotspot. Apparently AT&T got smart, tethering manager isn't there anymore like ginger bread had. I've been freezing suspicious looking items here and there, but no luck yet

haha ive been doing the same. still trying to figure it out. im sure someone will figure something out eventually
In the skyrocket thread they were able to open ultracfg.apk we have that file, but I can't open it. I copied it out of system/app and tried to launch it, but it's just the installer. I'm going to NAND backup, then I'll erase the one in app and see if I can't reinstall and get it to show in the app drawer

Removing that file was nothing but a pain. TiBu didn't want to reinstall it, erasing out of apps I couldn't reinstall from the copy I had. We might just need a person with access to a skyrocket with ics to pull it done supposedly theirs shows up in app drawer

damn. this was the one thing i didnt think of before putting ics on. hopefully someone can fix it
I'm Sure DAGr8 is going to put this in a future release of the modded version he posted last night.
TetheringManager.apk was still in my /system/app. I removed it and checked Titanium again. Tethering Provisioning was missing. When I tried to turn on Hot-Spot, Settings crashed. Restoring TetheringManager.apk, I am greeted with a message box to call AT&T to enable.

It says on skyrocket ics forums that the file to tweak is ultracfg.apk i can't open it. I'm sure someone will pull from an i727 and make a workaround for us

Ive been messing around with it myself, with no luck. I hope to get this working, AT&T doesn't need any more of my money.
I tried the ultracfg posted in the multi-dpi thread. The access point showed up on on my Xoom but I could not change the settings. Without the key I could not connect.
So I was doing something and I was in a file browser and thought this was weird..

Just out of curiosity is that normal? On my old phone before I had root, file managers wouldn't even show system files let alone access to them.

I was able to read system on my original Incredible before I had root, and the same with this phone. I can't modify anything, but I can pull files/apps and save them elsewhere.
/data, on the other hand, is a different story. You have to have root to be able to view or modify anything there.
I just realized recently as in minutes ago, that my AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G has been compromised. I didn't know where else to turn, if i'm at the wrong site then show me which one can help. Just please help me with this, in some way. I'm absolutely desperate....
more details?

Backup and Format
Try to install antivirus and full scan if you face same problem Backup your Important data like contacts, notes etc complete wipe your phone
one thing I know for sure is that I have a large quantity of texts that I haven't sent. I've tried to get some legitimate logs but I keep having.difficulty. As for wiping my storage has been stuck as majority USB Mass Storage and I can't mount my external SD. I ran Dr. Web which didn't find anything except that my phone was rooted.
oh and for a split second when I opened GOsms to respond to a text I saw a whole bunch of animated emoticons floating around on the GOsms inbox screen. don't know if that means anything, but it freaked me out because I didn't intend for it to occur. and a large quantity of permissions and disk writing happened last night when I discovered this issue. Does Meta-INF mean anything?

Why get rid of go SMS? I know it's not any type of rogue app or app of malintent, so why?

As this is a messaging issue and go SMS is the app your using it is common sense to remove that first to test it out. Had many odd issues when i hhad used it and even brought it up in the apps thread with no good reply even though many had privacy concerns

Ohhh okay, I see what you mean now. Well I just did a complete wipe and reformat of all my phone storage, and external SD. So if I have another problem I'm gonna lose it. I used the Infuse Toolkit to do all this and used the failsafe ROM to ensure stock while maintaining root. Is there any error in all that I did? If not I'll just go ahead and do a Heimdall return to stock, then root process. Thank you all for the input though
