I will try and help, I am only looking to buy an S4 but have a Verizon Xperia Play that bricked due to OTA while bootloader unlocked. It's fixed now but I ended up removing MOBILE CARE. Try and look for that and just delete Mobile Care. If it's not there sorry but I tried...
Yeah.. mobilecare easnt there...thanks though

If you have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 you can delete these two files ‘fota.client.apk’ and ‘fwupgrade.apk’ with root explorer in system/apps. While I don't recommend deleting applications it's better to freeze them with Titanium Backup. If you have installed an stock rooted odexed version, you can also include these two files ‘fotaclient.odex’ and ‘fwupgrade.odex’
Thanks...I dont want to delete. I have rom tool box so I can just freeze them.

Is there a program I could use to avoid the OTA Update that is being pushed out today? I suppose I could postpone indefinitely. But I am looking for a more elegant solution. Thanks!

if you are rooted use titanium backup to freeze the updater app or use root explorer and remain the.apk to .bak
Thanks!

I downloaded the update but haven't installed it since I don't want my bootloader locked permanently, and now I'm getting a notification every 2 hours to install the update. Is there any way to stop these 2 hour reminders? Its so annoying! Thanks in advance.

open titanium backup or any other root explorer. Go into apps and find updater 2.3.4 and freeze it
Sweet thanks!

If its not letting you install them again you may have to sbf to get them back. Also, I'm curious as to why you are posting in the dx2 section if you have an xpert.
There is no xpert section

Why would you have to sbf it?

to fix the phone
the xpert is more like the pro

not that I've seen
how did you backup, titanium?
did you try, restore without data?
on sdcard/titanium
should be a apk.gz file for missing app
unzip gz move apk to system apks
fix permissions, reboot to recovery, wipe cache, reboot
might work may not
you should always make a nandroid right after rooting, if you did use that

Hi Guys....
I have rooted my GT-19300T Australian version of S3 and want to delete the bloat wares to extend the battery drainages and hope to get more ram memories.
Can anyone guide me as to how to delete the bloat wares and the list of bloat wares that can be safely removed please??
Thanks in advance
use titanium to first freeze the apps, then, if there are no ill effects, remove them.

Hi!
As what i know, to completely uninstall a stock application.. you have to be rooted. I use SystemAppRemover

Have to be rooted to remove system apps. Alternatively may just disable them in settings > application manager without root.

You should be able to remove system apps using titanium backup or Rom toolbox. But as previous poster said its better to freeze them first using either of the above applications.

I use this app to delete the bloatware. It costs $1 well worth it.

I already tried putting the apk in data/app with changed permissions. Anyone know any other way?

I've also noticed this, I can't install anything unless I use Root Explorer to move it to data or system

That's the only way that I know of aside from removing the script.
