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.

hi there i rooted my fone a couple of mins ago using the exploid method (026), it was a great success.., lemme go back to my question.., how can i clean up the apps that i don't need.,
in bin4ry's method (024) on step2 folder there's a file called cleanup.cmd i just have to edit it and run it.., it will remove all the unnecessary apps like the moxiersh*t on my (024) x10i..,
but when i used bin4ry's cleanup.cmd on my (026) is says "mount: operation not permitted"
i know they have different sources, but can somebody help me cleaning up my 026x10i?

Did you use the donate or free version of Titanium Backup? I have installed the free version but i still could not figure out how to delete or uninstall unwanted programs. Care to share how you did it? Thanks

long press the app u want 2 delete
nooo i dont need titanium backup.., what i said is.., the CMD(command) file in the root that can cleanup the apps using the computer not the phone itself..,
Jus use the cleanup file.. don't mount your usb, make sure usb debugging is on n c what happens!
as for titanium backup, there's nothing wrong with it.. does the job!! plus the full version can b used to freeze apps to c how the rest of your phone would react if u had actually uninstalled it!!

Download busybox of market and c if that confirms your root privileges..
if so then go into titanium n try your luck again

Make sure you edit the cleanup.cmd so it doesn't remove stuff you might need or want to keep.

You just tap the app, as long pressing gives you a different menu.

Get Root Explorer and use that, or if you're not sure and need to make sure you have root access just download busybox from the market and it will check to see if you have root, that's a fast way to determine if your root access is functioning or not.

Every root app should work except ones that depend on kernel mods (i. e. market version of Wireless Tether). I used Root Explorer and Titanium Backup to take care of my bloat and all went well.

Running into strange issue.
Have complete root. Using root explorer, root user granted.
When i first go into the program I can set to R/W. However, once R/W is set and then I go into the system folder it goes back to R/O. If I back out to the first page it goes back to R/W.
It's very weird that it'll only stay R/W on some folders and not others.
Any ideas what might cause this?
UPDATE: I uninstalled root explorer and downloaded ES File Explorer. Gave ES root permissions, and hurrayyyy. I can delete the bloatware.
can I use any uninstaller app from the market to do this, or do I need a special one? thx.
I believe you have to be s off
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
You could try SystemApp Remover (market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.danesh.system.app.remover&feature=search_result ). It only requires root and busybox for most devices. I say most because it requires S-OFF for the HTC Desire.

If it does, then its for the better. You could try Titanium backup or some root uninstaller like the one linked.

Search this forum, there is a thread about removing bloatware using adb commands - no s-off needed.

I'm comfortable using ADB commands, but still if that can be done using titianum backup then using ADB seems just a hassle.

I did a quick search and found this: "Freezing an app prevents it from running constantly in the background on its own and pretty much makes it invisible to the system."
I would just freeze system apps that you don't want/need. You can just unfreeze if something goes wrong.
Like today my voice search was force closing on me and tried everything to make it work. Finally figured out it needed the stock browser to work, I had it frozen since I use dolphin.
Sent from my Liberty
so far uninstalled most of AT&T apps and everything is OK. good tip about the browser. would freeze it.
reboot to clockwork recovery, mount /system via partitions menu, attach usb to PC, adb shell, remove the offending APKs via the busybox shell.
/system is writable when in CWR's busybox.
Works for me with CWR 2.5.0.1, s-on, hboot 0.57 (original aria) and CM71
I rooted my phone months ago but suddenly today I noticed when trying to make a backup with Titanium backup, a few weeks after my most recent backup, that the app lost it's root rights. Normally this wouldn't be a problem because when an app needs root access a pop-up display asks you if you want to grant or deny access. But since the pop-up wasn't showing up either I started searching on my phone for the superuser app. All settings seemd correct, also the premission manager which comes default with MIUI rom looked ok.
To keep the story short, I eventually found out that my phone lost it's root rights. Don't know why... perhaps a new kernel I tried the other day but even then it would be weird that my phone has suddenly unrooted.
So I tried rooting my phone again using Odin. I got all the confirmation messages I used to get after the rooting proces has completed so I re-ran Titanium backup. But this time after a few seconds I got a message onscreen that the root rights had been denied! I checked Superuser app and the log area showed me the same but I can't seem to find out why I keep getting this message instead of the regular Grant/Deny root access pop-up box.
I eventually even tried unrooting my phone. Then re-root using Odin including flashing of CWM touch and Superuser app. Still the same problem: every root based app I try (even typing "su" in the terminal) gets a toaster saying root access denied without even an option to grant or deny root access to this app.
What is happing with my SGS3 and how can I get my root access back to working state?

I believe the Carbon backup app from Koush doesn't require root, and there are other ADB backup tools out there, just search.
Play Store link here.
Currently S4 is rooted with TWRP custom recovery. Don't want to lose root access and I read that if you have a custom recovery the OTA update will fail. The update downloaded but not installed yet. I don't want the notification to keep prompting me to install. If I try to install the update, will it fail and not prompt me any notification?
It would probably fail to install because of twrp recovery. Freeze sdm 1.0 to stop the notification from popping up.

As stated, Use Titanium to freeze SDM 1.0 and that should removed the annoying pop up that asks you to install the update. Worked for me.
So I was forced to "schedule" the update for 6AM on my rooted/CWM recovery S4. There was no way to continue or go back. I just froze sdm 1.0. Will this block the update ? Can anyone confirm it will fail due to the custom recovery ? Haven't installed a custom ROM (probably CM 10.1) yet as I'm waiting for it to settle a little more.

It will block the ota. I had your exact situation. If you want to make sure for peace of mind, back up a couple system apps then uninstall them or freezem. Or you could just manually delete the ota files. But make sure to freeze sdm as was stated above.

They are usually in /data/fota/ , but I haven't tried extracting them on a Galaxy phone before so I'm not sure if you will need to use adb to extract the files. You dont need to do this, I was just saying its an option.

Go into Titanium Backup under Backup/Restore and freeze it there. Also freeze FWUpdate for good measure.
