Hi guys, I'm having a very serious problem, these days ago, I got a Coolpad 3622a, blocked by MetroPCS, then I was thinking, "I'm going to root", then I rooted the device using KingRoot on the phone, then restarted automatically, and failed, but I rooted again, and it worked, I checked the root of the device on the Root Checker and the root was working, Then I changed the ringtone of the device by the stock old Android, to transform it into Android 4.0 ICS Holo, that this Coolpad's android is 5.1.1 Lollipop, so I deleted the boot animation, the shutdown sound & shutdown animation, and created the Backup folder on the sdcard, before I deleted it, I copied it there in the Backup folder, and another , I deleted some apps from Google and MetroPCS, and left the backup too, and I left the apps just like the Android Emulator, I changed the system icons like Phone, contacts, messages, calculator and etc. to ICS Holo, using root explorer extracting and compressing again and renaming by .apk er I rebooted the device, and the icons worked, even I changed the app drawer icon in Launcher3, then I installed the Android Stock browser, and it crashed all the time when I opened it, so I restored the phone to factory defaults there. settings, then after restoring, I chose the English language, connected my Wi-Fi, and now I'm stuck on Checking connection. How do I do to solve this problem? I restored it, and it was just like breaking into the system of the device. Help me please, seriously!

Hey everyone,
After I updated to MIUI 1.9.9 today, I lost root. This is my 5th or 6th MIUI update, and I've never had this issue before. I dl'd and flashed it thru ROM Manager. I discovered the problem when I installed Titanium in order to get all my apps/settings back. It gave be the "be sure your ROM has busybox" error message. Any thoughts on how to get back to root? I tried uninstalling Titanium and the Pro key, rebooting, then reinstalling Titanium with no luck. I didn't even get the "countdown" message where you have to allow Titanium root rights. Any help would be great!
Thanks
From MIUI.us
"UPDATE NOTICE: Superuser Permissions need to be enabled via Superuser.apk menu enable superuser Permissions. (Superuser is found in Tools folder)"
open SU, menu/settings/enable.
I don't know If this is different on every phone but on my Desire Z this app is not in the tools but on one of the home screens directly also you I had to kill titanium backup because it didn't try to acquire root again (I restarted the whole phone but I forgot that I could have kill it from application manager).

Same issue in my Galaxy Tab P1000 GSM after Miui update. Root access rights somehow disabled.
I have unlocked the bootloader of my new AT&T HTC One 64 GB, installed CWM and rooted.
When I started my phone, google play stated that there were updates to a lot of apps (like Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon kindle etc) which are all system apps. So I went ahead, updated them. Then as usual, I went to titanium backup and integrated the updates into rom/system. I cleaned Dalvik and cahce. When I restarted, google play said again that the same apps are out of date and wanted to re-update them. And sure enough when I checked versions on them, they were the old ones.
So decided to go the "make these system apps normal apps" e.g. move them out of the rom to data, update, move them back to system app directory. Same problem here, after a restart old versions in the rom showed up again.
Then I decided to un-install the apps. When I un-install them through titanium backup, after a restart they are back.
Like a bad nightmare.... Any ideas?

Same for me :
My ATT HTC One is unlocked and rooted already with CWM no-touch installed.
I installed ES File explorer as well as Titanium Backup Pro and gave both root privileges when they asked for them via Super SU
I can "Uninstall", via titanium backup, all the bloatware apps but when I reboot they come back.
Similarly, through ES File explorer I run the root explorer section and choose to uninstall system apps. I then successfully remove the bloatware, but it again comes back upon reboot.
Are there any other methods I can try or any successful bloatware removals for the One from anybody here? Is it a matter, as another thread about the Incredible suggested, a matter of the kernel not allowing writes to the /system while running? If so, how do I remove bloatware from Recovery?
Thanks!
any we need a kernel that allowed writing to the /system to stop this htc added some new code
It's because the kernel does not allow the /system partition to be modified. You need to flash a kernel that has the security disabled. I'm running the Renovate rom from the Intl One forums and that kernel has security disabled and works fine on the AT&T version
I tried to useMyFonts on my Note 3. Fonts were downloaded into a font folder but had ? marks on them. When I opened the font or the apk, a screen prompt asks what program to use to open the file. Last night I was successful in downloading 3 fonts. I tried again this morning and they aren't downloading correctly again. I uninstalled the app, but it caused the UI to not work correctly and I had difficulty in powering down the phone. Finally the phone powered down and I pulled the battery too. I powered the phone back up and the downloaded fonts were still there! Unistalling the app did not remove them. I deleted the fonts from the font folder and restarted the phone. The fonts are still on my phone but are not listed in the font folder. How do I delete the downloaded fonts from my phone? Anyone else using this font app?
SOLVED: Someone in another forum stated I need to go into the Application Manager and remove the downloaded fonts. Did that and it worked.
Hello. I'm not very experienced with android and recently got a new z ultra (6802). I think it came with 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 i'm not sure, but as soon as i turned it on i was notified to update to 4.4.4. All went well and one of the first apps i installed was clean master. I hadnt tried to root the phone and i was thinking about it mostly in order to get rid of some preinstalled apps, but i found out that clean master had an option to "deactivate" them so they disappeared and all was fine. The last few weeks i loaded the phone with all sorts of useless stuff i wanted to try, and today i tried rooting it using this tool and everything worked ok. Then i did a hard reset and started setting everything up again... But this time clean master, root app delete and 2 other apps of the same type wouldnt uninstall system apps (despite having root access now). Any ideas on what to do? Is it because of the root - should i try to unroot it? Where can i find these ftfs needed? I saw some in the forum but they are for 6833..

Well, clean master is one of the app I hate most. Killing app processes frequently and clearing app caches are the bad ideas for android devices because android system always try to restart apps everytime you kill. So it greatly reduces battery life. Clearing caches can make apps to start slowly.
That's not the point, right? But just a suggestion not to use task killers and cache cleaner if you have enough RAM and storage space.
Ok now for your problem not uninstalling system apps,
-Install ES File Explorer
-Tap the upper left of the app (three striped shape)
-Tap Tools, Tap Root Explorer (not on the button "On") giving/allowing/authorize root access
-Now Tap Mount R/W and choose every partition as R/W then Tap OK
-Let's get back to explorer, Tap the upper left box labelled as "/" (it will redirect you to root of the Device)
-Go to "system" folder in explorer
-There are two folders in Kitkat, namely "app" and "priv-app"
You can now choose apps to be uninstalled that you couldn't uninstall inside these folders by removing any apps (and .odex files) by Long pressing on apps and choose multi apps at once.
For me, I don't delete apps that I wanted to uninstall but I cut them and create a new folder on sd card and paste them all in that new folder for later needs (you can navigate to internal or external storage from the upper right box of the Explorer, to create new folder, tap on the button with "+" sign at the bottom left corner of the app). Don't delete apps that you don't know well because doing so can prevent your device from booting up.
P.S. You can also install apps as system ones in that reverse way (copy, paste from external to system/app). Remember not to include space in the name of the app you wanted to install as system.
Remember to restart the devices after moving/deleting apps.
I think you now understand how to do. Good Luck, mate.
Thanks for taking the time to help! and es file explorer looks like a really nice app. i followed your instructions and moved some of the apk and matching odex to sd card. the problem is the apps didnt dissapear from the list and as soon as i was done play store was downloading new versions of the apps i moved... what i dont understand is why it worked in the first place when it was new! could it be the sony firmware it came with? since this failed, is there an app to freeze these things?

One thing I left to say that you must restart your device as soon as you finish moving/deleting system apps. After rebooting, the device system will delete app leftovers. It will solve your problem of not disappearing from the list.
Hello guys,
Today I managed to root my ZTE Avid Plus using Kingo Root from the pc, but all the trouble came after. I used Titanium Backup to uninstall most of Google Bloatware (Books, News & Weather, Music, Movies) and also decided to delete some of Metro Apps (Voicemail, another one), except MyMetro, which has been stated to brick the phone if messed with. But also, I tried to uninstall the metrostore (don't remember the exact name) and Lookout, but those never got uninstalled so I force stopped titanium backup and those apps still worked like normal... The actual problem came after, when I restarted my phone it got stuck on a bootloop, and now I'm trying to get MetroPCS 5.1.1 rom to restore my phone via adb.
Can anyone help me find that rom? I have searched all over the web and nothing yet...
I'm looking for the same too
same here managed to root upon reboot...
