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.

and actually its best to remove the mobile AP since i assume the OP is using the JFD version. having the JFD version on JI6 facuses force closes in some areas...esp in brightness settings which is why there are 2 versions for the vibrant

Task manager doesn't handle this. You may remove this via TitaniumBackup if you have it installed.

I don't need to have had Titaniumbackup installed before mobileap? So I can get Titaniumbackup and use it to uninstall mobileap correct?

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).

Hello.
My friend has an i9300 with stock 4.1.2 firmware.
Today he told me his Play store didn't work. When he tried to download an app, after he pushed on the download button, the play store app just restarted itself and went back to the main screen, so it was not possible to download anything.
I went into the app info of the play store, and deleted all data and cache data, without success. The version was 3.10.10 and there was an "uninstall updates" option, so I thought it might be some broken update that caused the problem, so I tried to uninstall updates. Then the version went back to 3.9.16, and since then the app won't even start (crash to home screen).
Is there any way to reinstall the play store? or do I need to flash a new ROM?
Since I am a total noob when it comes to that particular device, please bear with me. Thanks.

hi, by stock I meant the original firmware that came with the phone, it is not rooted. Is it possible to do the same with the original samsung firmware? and if it is, will I need to root and install recovery?
No...you dont need to root or install recovery to flash the stock rom over the current rom

thx will give it a try
I'm having an issue with my OTA software update. I can download the update, but when it gets to the installation process, it just reboots into download mode. Currently running VRUAME7.
I had SafeStrap and root, but got rid of both of them, thinking that might be causing the problem. Still happening though. Any suggestions?
Did you reinstall any bloatware you and removed? Also when you removed SS did you remove it completely or just uninstall it? I had to remove it completely in order for update to take. Also if you want to keep root there is a thread that shows the way to do it. If not it should be as simple as plugging into PC running Kies and then doing a emergency recovery. Then the update will take without any issues. Hope this helps.

I never removed any bloatware. Only rooted so I could use Xposed Framework. I think I removed SS completely - the uninstall option in the app wouldn't work, so I removed it manually with terminal commands, and the SS splash screen no longer shows during boot. Also uninstalled the app for good measure. I'll try the Kies trick.

Here's something interesting: after a deeper look, it says the update failed and gave and Error Code of 410. Anybody know what that means?
From what I can tell error 410 and 404 both mean that a needed resource is gone or removed and cannot be found

Pretty sure Xposed is causing your problem. You might have to Odin back to stock.

Also, is it even possible for me to flash the stock ROM with Odin? I though the locked ME7 boot loader meant I couldn't do any of that stuff. Sorry, super noob.

You don't need to uninstall it. Just run the Xposed Installer, and click "Uninstall (restore app_process)".
That'll restore the altered file.
Hopefully you'll keep root through the update (I didn't) and can reinstall after the update completes.
I used Rom Installer app to Flash Cyanogen MOD NIGHTLIES & I Restored back to my touch wiz back-up..... That process with switching roms was easy.... But I went into my Xposed Installer app and I wanted to install updates & the app claims "Cannot install update or something like that..... :crying: & My Rom Intaller app wont let me install roms it says install failed.
HELP

You'll need to uninstall Xposed, reboot, then install the newest version from here: http://dl-count.xposed.info/modules/de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v28_8b8a7e.apk Then of course, reactivate it and reboot and you'll be back in business.
I just tried it & it says the same thing.

Hmm. Maybe we need to backup and see exactly what is going on then. The TW backup - are you still rooted on it? Can you tell me EXACTLY what the error message is that pops up when the install fails? Can you install other new (non-rooted) apps? Feel free to hit me up on Hangouts if you are looking for more immediate help.
What's your hangouts id ? & ill send you a screen shot of what it say on hangouts. Yes I can still use and download root apps. But my rom installer wont worK either.

i recently rooted my Galaxy S4 verizon SCH-I545 5.0.1 My main reason for doing so is because i want to install CM12 (to improve battery and no bloatware) but need to back up my stock ROM before wiping anything, so i can restore if anything gets messed up but when i installed CWM via ROM manager app , i booted in recovery only to discover that i didn't have the option to back up my stock ROM...nothing that says "back up and restore" or anything remotely close...so after alot of reading a searching it looks like TWRP was the one that most suggested for my phone. My question is, can i just use Flashify and flash TWRP over the existing CWM?? will this mess anything up or brick my phone??? please help and excuse my ignorance

In your phone settings, about phone, it'll tell you what BL you're on. If you aren't on MDK and haven't taken the OF1 and OC1 update then you'd be safe with busybox and safestrap.
Looks like I have MDF

Keep it! You can install CM, and whichever recovery you want. I never had the MDK phone so I was limited by recoveries and ROMs. You could use TWRP for your recovery. You're able to flash AOSP ROMs. I would keep your phone on MDK at all costs.

Well, I can't get King Root to work so I'm currently not rooted and am on OC1. I'd hold off on taking the next update, OF1 because there is no root for it yet. There's a thread on it in the general area that can explain it better than I.

No problem, I'm not sure if you wanted to but SDM system app is the update app I'm pretty sure. You could freeze that in Titanium Backup and it should keep the update from appearing. I'm going through that but I'm not rooted so I can't do anything about it. It's all good, if I can help I try to and you have to start somewhere, if it has anything to do with just about any phone, you'll find on XDA.

I did want to mention if you're really new that I'd be careful with the apps. Generally it's not good to uninstall or delete system apps and sometimes Google apps are the same way. A lot of times but not always, you can freeze those and be alright, other times it'll make your phone go crazy so I'd check out the posts on the safe apps to freeze. Another good thing about freezing them is if you have any issue, just unfreeze those.

That's for the tip! I did read that in a few post in my journey. I need to find a list of safe stock apps that I can delete or freeze (like story album and amazon kindle) for my S4 ...I still need to get TB pro so I can do all that. Thanks again!

sorry mate, can't do cwm or twrp or cm.
Of1 rooted, roll back to MDK?
I have vzw s4 rooted with odin on OF1 and took the 5.0.1 OTA update. Is it possible to rollback to MDK or earlier version of Android so i can install TWRP or CWM, to be able to flash whatever custom rom i choose? Like do i need to downgrade say to 4.3 so i can upgrade to 6.0 cm13? If this is at all possible which android should i downgrade to?
Similar question here. I have a Verizon S4 (SCH-I545) and am on OF1. I just did a full factory restore using the recovery assistant software, I did not get an option of a version. From what I have been reading, it sounds like there is no way to get back to an earlier version, is that really true? I find it very hard to find current information, most of what I dig up seems to be dated. I just rooted the phone. All I really want is to install the AOSP ROM. I don't care what hoops I have to jump through, if only there is a path! I have tried Odin but keep getting an error that again I have not found any useful info on.
