Got an Oppo R9s through aliexpress. First time it arrived the home button wouldn't work, neither the fingerprint scanning. After sending it back and waiting three months I got a working device, but seems to have malware on it.
The lock screen is filled with chinese pictures. Doesn't seem malicious, but I can't remove it. After resetting the device to factory settings it's the first thing that installs itself after giving it network access. The wallpaper option in settings doesn't work. More importantly, when I add a phone contact, the phone app crashes opening as well as the contacts app, which renders the phone completely useless, not being able to make a simple phone call. Also, simple mode doesn't work either.
So my guess this is a modified rom to have some malware always present and basic functionality is either removed or crippled. Following instructions to enter fastboot mode (volume up + power on) seem to enter an endless loop, so it looks like this option is disabled. Using volume down I'm able to enter a recovery mode, where it says it's version 1.2 (root), and allows me to select some rom for flashing.
Before trying to wade through all the threads regarding rooting and flashing, I was considering simply replacing the ColorOS rom with a clean one. However I'm unable to find any for R9s, is it that this model doesn't have one available? Even looking at the international Oppo forums they don't have any R9s download links. So I guess I have to spend some hours reading and fishing links from long threads like https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/oppo-r9s-rooting-t3496781 ?
The about info of the device says this is an Oppo R9s, ColorOS v3.0, Android 6.0.1, MSM8953 OctaCore, 4GB ram, build number R9s_91_A.28_191025, baseband version Q_V1_P14,Q_V1_P14, Kernel 3.18.24-G201710252140.

Are you trying to replace the ROM or just remove the Malware? I've never heard of this device before so I can't point you towards any ROMs, But I can certainly help you remove Malware embedded in the ROM.

I'm not interested in changing ROMs, just remove the malware that prevents normal device usage. That's why I was asking for links to ColorOS firmware, I presume reinstalling those would restore normal operation. However if that's not possible I'll take any non-malware ROM.
I followed the recommendation from http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=50113 to use "adb shell" commands and disable ROM programs, finally getting to remove the lock screen pictures. After a while of having the phone turned on, I heard a weird ping sound and then the touch screen stopped responding. It works fine, since I can power off swiping to the right on the off screen, or I can swipe down and play with the toggles, but the launcher and settings app don't seem to receive touches. So maybe I disabled something affecting the screen? I did run:
adb shell pm hide com.android.browser
adb shell pm hide com.android.contacts
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.usercenter
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.gamecenter
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.atlas
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.statistics.rom
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.launcher
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.market
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.music
adb shell pm hide com.sohu.imputmethod.sogouoem
adb shell pm hide com.redteamobile.roaming
adb shell pm hide com.redteamobile.virtual.softsim
adb shell pm hide com.coloros.lives
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.themespace
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.themespacelib
adb shell pm hide com.coloros.pictorial
Rebooting or recovery mode doesn't work, so I figured to install a ROM from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70366156&postcount=13 in recovery mode (where the touch screen works fine). After installation the "optimizing android apps" kept there forever, so I turned it off/on manually, and now I launch into the original launcher with a few chinese icons, but still the screen doesn't seem to work.
Touches work for the notifications and such, but nothing for the launcher or settings, so now I'm unable to turn on USB debugging to send adb shell commands. :crying:
You've disabled your launcher and a couple of required android services (Browser etc) Use adb again to sideload a new launcher too.

I did these after installing replacements, like that post explained. Chrome as browser, Google APKs for contacts/calendar, Novo launcher instead of stock… and everything seemed to be working fine.
I can't enable debugging on the device, adb commands don't seem to reach the device. I've never used sideload before, does it work even without debug mode enabled?

You can sideload an app via recovery by pushing it to /system/app
And then use adb shell chmod 644 "/system/app/APKNAME"

I can't due to adb not being able to connect to the device, since I can't put it in debug mode. When the device is in recovery mode I can't access it either, I only get "- waiting for device -"

Finally managed to flash a good original ROM on the device. Conveniently the chinese rom prevents running dangerous adb commands, but at least I seem to have gotten rid of the malware and I'm able to change desktop wallpapers and the lockscreen magazine
$ adb shell pm hide com.oppo.music

Just bought an OPPO R9S and was wondering you managed to flash the original ROM? I have the exact same issues that romfury had.
Good day all,
at work I had re-ignited life of a collegue's old Asus tablet by re-flashing his ROM. In all enthousiasm they gave me a company's tablet: VT500-E which is a industrial-like tablet just to do inspections and handle forms.
However the device OS is Android ICS, and looking at its specs it could also handle apps like Excel etc just as well. This is also what is desired along with some tweaks for extra performance and battery-life gaining.
But while playing around with this device the following obstacles come forward:
- No possibility for reboot into fastboot (hardware keys 0 result, 'adb reboot recovery' or 'adb reboot fastboot' just reboots regulary)
- No possibility for reboot into recovery
Kingroot did manage to root the device, I checked its succes with
Code:
adb shell
Code:
adb su
but the device needs Play Store (never been present by default) so I would like to flash gapps. So far no luck, nor much support on this device online.
Anybody have any experience with the VT500-E?
Did you search official roms with GMS ?
sorry to bring back from the grave, but I have 20 of these tablets and wanted to do the same... did you have any luck?

Hi,
The system keeps giving me the annoying message to update to Android 9 and EMUI 9 on my Honor 8x L22.
I do not want to do this. I have also seen many many posts on so many users facing problems with android 9 pie and emui 9.
So, is there some way to disable to system update permanently? I am tired of seeing the annoying popup asking me to update.
Thanks
Mir
By adb command:
adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.android.hwouc
To revert this:
adb shell pm enable --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc

Thank you so much for this. Not only does it disable the annoying update notification popup, it also diables the "System Update" option in Settings menu, so it seems to completely stop the system update module.
Do you have any further ADB (or other) tips and tricks for the Honor 8x, or for Huawel/Honor/Emui devices in general? I would be most grateful if you shared some tips or links.
Thank you

I second another User's request, if possible, that you share how you downgraded the firmware on your honor 8x.
Information like
- which software was used to perform the downgrade
- where you found the official firmware
- how to identify the correct firmware for our specific model
would be absolutely most appreciated by us all.

Well, actually, yes - I have some tips for you friend
On my phone (Honor 10), I did hide some unnecessary icons from status bar. You can use this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/guide-hiding-status-bar-icons-t3853258
And debloated system from rubbish apps (like Facebook app manager and so on...): https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-10/how-to/guide-removing-apps-bootloader-unlock-t3855067
These tutorials were not written strict for 8X, but nonethless, you can use them safely, because it's still EMUI

Don't worry, I'm working on a better, more extreme and more up-to-date one. I will post a link when it's ready!
Perfect, thank you
Very nice script, JanBoyGamer23. Is it possible to remove the stock Messanger app, as well? The one with three dots in the icon?
I can't install, for example Chrome

open cmd in the folder of the debloat script (the folder with all the files: adb, debloat.bat etc.) and type in:
adb shell pm install-existing com.android.stk

Great, thanks!
FYI: I had Vanced YouTube installed and it was removed by the script. At the end I had no YouTube at all.
Also, I was somewhat surprised that you decided to remove Google Maps as well, as bloatware. Anyways, I've reinstalled both Vanced YouTube and Maps, no big deal.
Thanks for the script, you saved my some headache! I actually tried uninstalling all Facebook components using System Apps Uninstaller (root) and I ended up reflashing the firmware through Odin, as the phone got stuck on boot loops after "successfully" uninstalling them.
@op,
Could you please post a complete list of items included in the package (to be removed)?
The script had a tremendous effect on battery and I'm curious to review the main offenders (I highly suspect it to be Google telemetry, but I'd like to know specifics).
Again, excellent work, thank you!

Nice to hear that it worked for you!
If you want a full list you can just look into the script as I don't remember. I know that it almost completely removes google spying, facebook trash, samsung knox bloatware and other country based bloat.
Hello there,
I have just bought myself an Oppo find N, so far love the phone!
can someone help me out with deleting the bloatware software? I dont want to use adb because I am scared I will delete something which I'm not supposed to.
I know you can do so with apk extractor but haven't been able to find out how exactly.
any hints would be appreciated
