[Q] Telus HTC Desire 510 - problems removing software from device - HTC Desire 510

Hey,
Wondering if somebody could help me out. I purchased a Telus HTC Desire 510. The bootloader has been unlocked, TWRP installed, SuperSU root access. I installed Titanium Backup. I uninstalled system software such as Twitter, Facebook, services etc, and have noticed that when I restart the phone, the software comes back.
Can someone explain to me why the O.S. is doing this? It's Android kitkat. I have noticed in any file manager that it defaults to and emulated folder etc //sdcard/emulated. Also thinking it might have something to do with HTC software pre-installed //dumby proof backup software? In the past on any Android device, after unlocking and rooting I've never had this problem. Starting to fumble me...
Thanks

Hi, unfortunately I cannot help you at the moment but I will try to look up your problem. In the mean time, can you please create a stock backup from your ROM and make it available. This would be very helpful for many of us how are working on the VM / Sprint version of this device. Thanks in advance.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I created a backup with TWRP, approx. size 2.5GB unzipped in a folder a few days ago. I will try to get it online /zipped/compressed I geuss to a reasonable size.
I do see your VM/Sprint roms available. Unsure whether to try them as it's a different carrier? Telus runs on GSM LTE 4 1700/2100Mhz band 4. Could always revert back but I don't want to wreck the phone.
A great little phone. Still very new.
I see some roms say ''write protection removed'. Would this have something to do with the stock software coming back on boot? Ie . facebook etc. I always assumed having SU rights basically removes write protection. Who knows.

Since there is no S-OFF for this device, you'll need a kernel with write-protection removed... That's why the apps you remove keep reappearing upon reboot.

Thanks for the response. I went ahead and flashed the Cricket kernel on the device and it worked. Being a Telus device it seems to make no difference. I will check and make sure 4G LTE still works - if the kernel even has anything to do with it?
Glad this worked as there is a tonne of garbage on these phones that I'd like to get rid of. I might go ahead and try a custom rom - with the HTC software removed - as it seems to cause some issues when removing (htc software) from Titanium Backup.
Question as I'm curious- has anyone figured out a way to unlock the governor for the CPU/GPU. I think this config would be a prime candidate to mild overclocking.

Hi, I do not think so, but I am not 100% sure. So far, for Cricket Kernel with Write Protection Removed v1.0, Ondemand was set as default governor and all Stock Governors was Enabled.

The TELUS device is GSM, so likely the Cricket Kernel with write-protection removed will help you. Look under Android Development for it.
Sorry all.. realized this was a solved thread.

Did you install a Write Protect removed Kernel/image? That could be the reason. By the way, would you happen to have a TWRP stock backup that you make available for us? We're trying to get the VM/Sprint variant running on a GSM network, but so far we have not been very successful.

Awesome stuff and thanks for sharing the link!
Trying this tomorrow (its late here )
Thanks!
THanks! i gota XT702 from China...and everything is like blocked...now i installed it...its a proper milestone now and not moldstone
Aye, I've got a Milestone from Newegg , and I'm not sure as to which company actually released the model I have. (Carrier or Region). Anyone mind lending me a hand here so I can download the update?
Heres the phone.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875209212
Aww...
I would so love to try this out (and I suppose with the help of a nandroid backup I could). But I also know that I would lose Canadian 3G since the ROM would not support UMTS 850/1900.
@DarkOne951: The model you have is European with UMTS 900/2100. So it can't get 3G anyway on T-Mo or AT&T. The ROMs on that page are all for 900/2100 phones.
If you want to know which country variant you have, go to settings, about: Firmware configuration version
and tell us what is listed under that heading.

I already know about 3G, and it really doesn't bother me. I only have Edge on TMO where I am anyway. As for the firmware, I'll get back to you on that.
As your phone is a pure Milestone, the rom above should work like a charm~ ^^
Facebook sync on 2.36 RTEU/UK:
in build.prop replace
Code:
ro.product.name=MILESTONE
ro.product.device=A853
with
Code:
ro.product.name=umts_sholes
ro.product.device=umts_sholes
reboot and clear the facebook.apk data:
menu>Setting>Applications>Manage applications>menu>Filter>All, select Facebook and Clear data
Then, when you enter your facebook login again, sync options will finally show up...

Perfect, I'll do that =)
So to be clear this is still 2.1, but with bug fixes right?
I wonder if it fixes the bug in which applications can only see one cell tower ID in UMTS mode, and that ID is stale if the phone has been moved around since it last entered UMTS mode.
Anyone could tell us about the improvement(s) of this new Rom ?
Thanks
Hi guys,
We have just released the firmware files for all Asian markets.
Later today, we will introduce a new G.O.T OpenRecovery to V1.0.2:
- New install and uninstall for the tweaks (Apps2SD, Overclocking, memhack)
- Modified and updated G.O.T theme
- Modified handling of the build.prop
Regarding the question above, simply navigate to the Release Notes section on our blog.
Ok! Just did the Thai install over top of Telus. My Swype beta broke as a result though. 3G works.
Just re-rooting it now... done. I backed up build.prop and swapped it to the one that came with Telus though, in order to retain market protected apps. In fact, doing this restored my Swype to believing I was back to the same device.
I can report the music bug is nearly fixed. It used to be that if I played an MP3, paused, rebooted, relaunched the music app, it would jump into playing that song. Now it blurts out a tiny snippet of sound and then stops. I can also report no spurious reboots after shutting the phone down.
I will test the wifi fixes at school on Monday, since the 802.1x network there causes this phone some grief.
Most root apps are working but Titanium Backup isn't happy. It doesn't seem to think it has root privileges. I went back to OpenRecovery and installed busybox from there. But after reboot, root explorer doesn't seem to see busybox anywhere. So at the moment Titanium is dead
EDIT again: Root Explorer worked on my first reboot after root. Now it's not seeing the root permissions either. Ugh. Re-rooting from recovery a second time, this time after replacing the OpenRecovery/root directory with the copies of su and superuser.apk that I had in my previous install (from OpenRecovery 1.14). Ok I think it works now. Titanium however is still unhappy. This time I went into Root Explorer, copied busybox out of the OpenRecovery/sbin directly, and manually pasted it in /system/xbin (not sure if I need to change permissions). But after doing that, Titanium became happy again.
used rds lite but stuck at moto screen after flash wtf had to do a nano restore...i had ap2sd applied is this the cause?
hmmm did nano restore and media player bug is gone was update applied?

busybox installation doesn't work in G.O.T openrecovery.If you apply busybox through openrecovery it deletes su from xbin.It need correction to the busybox.sh file

Aha! Well that'd explain everything... it'd explain why root worked *and then later on it didn't*.
In any case, copying busybox to /system/xbin using Root Explorer seems to have done the trick at least where Titanium Backup is concerned.
thank I'm flashing my Milestone will keep u the result ...
not success struck at "Moto" logo boot even remove batt many times... So now Flash back to 2.31 and will try to clean everything nd flash 2.36 GOT again thanks
Done after flash back to 2.31 and wipe...now flash 2.36 GOT and volla thx

[Q] Bloatware Apps keep reappearing after crash

Hey guys,
I have been trying to uninstall all the bloatware from my HTC Butterfly S after unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. However, sometimes randomly while uninstalling the bloatware (like the Korean keyboard) with titanium backup, the device will crash and restart itself, and previously uninstalled apps would appear back again.
For example, i uninstalled 7digital, Google Korean Keyboard, HTC Sense Wechat (in that order) then the device would crash while uninstalling HTC Sense Wechat. After it booted up again, i found that my default keyboard would change back to HTC's own keyboard and that 7digital, Google Korean Keyboard and Wechat would all be found installed again.
Anyone else experiencing the same problems?
Edit : okay so restarting the phone without it crashing does the same things too..all the bloat apps came back :/
Edit2 : oh ya im using stock rom by the way.
I also tried to uninstall HTC Sense Webchat and had the same issues. I think this program is somehow connected either with Blinkfeed or integrated in the system, so you can't delete it from rom.
I unninstaled all the bloatware from my HTC One X once I rooted it. But then, I could not install OTA updates anymore. I had to get an old backup from my Nandroid, restore all the bloat just to be able to install the update. Was really annoying.
Now, I moved to one Butterfly S. This time, I plan to root and freeze all the bloat with Titanium Backup. Once and update is released, I can just go there and undo the freeze.
Did you tried freezing the apps you don´t want? Maybe it can prevent the crashing.

The system partition seems to be write-protected somehow. Any changes you make from within a running system are lost on reboot, even though you remount /system as read-write. In order to circumvent this, you can write down a list of APKs you want to remove, reboot into recovery and do it from there – in that case the changes are permanent.

I have certain doubts as to whether an OTA will work on any rooted Butterfly S if one gets released eventually. Butterfly S suffers from the same problem as One, i.e. certain apps come preinstalled in /data (see this thread for a list of those that were in /data/preload on mine) and the OTA update script checks their integrity as well, but they are wiped in the process of unlocking the bootloader.
Now, obviously, I made a backup of those apps, but that may not be enough, it's perfectly possible there were other things in /data as well and there's not really a way to find out unless HTC releases a RUU, in which case we can look into its contents.

So basically your saying that we should not unlock the bootloader and I don't think it make sense to unlock it because there is no s off

No, that's most certainly not what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that if you unlock your bootloader, any OTA upgrades might not work because some files from the original ROM are lost in the process. This is just unfounded speculation based on the fact that this was true for the One and the Butterfly S shows the same symptoms. Nevertheless, we have yet to see whether this is true or not since HTC haven't released any OTAs for the Butterfly S yet.
If you don't need root or custom recovery, feel free not to unlock your bootloader and stick to the vanilla stock ROM. Some of us need root, which means we did unlock our bootloader and are willing to bear the consequences.
I don't see any reason why not having a S-OFF exploit would mean that it's not worth unlocking. Just unlocking the bootloader via HTCdev is perfectly sufficient to install a custom recovery or ROM, from what I gather around the interwebs, custom kernels should be all right as well. If you want to argue that you need a custom splash screen then I'm willing to argue that you don't.
Anyway, this entire discussion is way off-topic already so I'll stop here.
This is an interesting discussion, although i'm away from my turf, as i got an HTC One - on second thought, it isn't so different from the Butterfly S. I was looking for a way to get rid of the bloatware and keep stock Sense UI. The problem, as has been discussed in the replies above - there is a "bug" when unlocking the bootloader from htcdev that causes some data to be wiped out. From what i've read all several similar cases, you will not be able to update via OTA. Basically, if you want to go back to stock with OTA support, you'll need to download a stock rom matching your device's region and restore that onto your device. I personally don't think it's worth it, as HTC will be releasing 4.3 soon (by the end of this month, according to leaks).
However, i was hoping to find an app (much like what already exists for the Galaxy S4) that would easily disable or block bloatware apps, without uninstalling them (that wouldn't be possible without rooting anyway). I'm really hoping that such an app exists for the One or Butterfly S, as i've been able to manually disable apps running in memory through Settings > Apps > All and i've noticed significant improvements, especially in the AnTuTu benchmarks. An automated way of doing that would have been really awesome.

[Q] Sprint HTC One M8 H/K - Removing Carrier Bloatware and Unrooting

Hi - I have a rooted Sprint HTC One M8 H/K edition. I rooted and unlocked my phone with the motive to remove Sprint bloatware on the phone. I, however, also need Good for Enterprise to function properly. I attempted to uninstall apps via Titanium Backup, but the Sprint Default Configuration reinstalled the bloatware after a reboot.
My question is: what is the best approach to removing the bloatware and allowing for GFE to work properly as well? Would running a stock H/K remove the bloatware and unroot? Should I just delete the apps and get a root cloak? Or can I remove apps and then unroot or something? I have been seeing S-OFF is useful as well - but not sure if that would endanger my use of Good for Enterprise.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks!

I have been reading a bit about GFE as I had not heard of it until reading your post but I didn't see anything that would lead me to believe it would not work while rooted? You've already seen how the Sprint Default, among other apps, could cause the bloatware to return so I'd like to see you keep your root (although it IS pretty easy to unroot/root but could get tiresome depending on your level of success) if possible to more easily deal with obstacles you might encounter later.
Anyhow, I'm thinking the stance I take on Windows installations where you need a particular program to work (or many) but do not want any unnecessary services running might be one solution for you..Basically, what I usually do is disable one service at a time then test to see if that particular service disruption had any unforeseen consequences with my other apps and services.
What I think would be easiest for you, though, is finding an "optimized" Sense Rom that has kept most everything in tact but disabled or removed bloat like the Sprint Default and even the connection manager app thing (forget the name) that can be considered unnecessary.
To the best of my knowledge GFE isn't going to quite working properly solely because you've rooted or S-off'd but I'm by no means certain of that as I've never used it so just make sure, whatever you do, you make a nandroid first.^^
And yes, this all would probably be easier for you if you are able to get S-off on your device...especially if you may end up trying out a couple new ROOM.
Hope that helps a little at least! =)

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks for the input. GFE is my main problem..because I want to permanently delete the bloatware, but need GFE to function properly for work. I'll look into getting the S-off as well.
I was able to achieve S-OFF with firewater on my phone. Any thoughts on what my next step should be?
I believe I have managed to figure it all out. For reference:
1) Unlocked bootloader w/ HTCdev and installled TWRP and rooted the phone
2) Completed S-OFF with firewater
3) Removed tampered flag (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51711046)
4) Uninstalled Sprint apps with Titanium Backup (I rebooted my phone and confirmed that it was not re-installing)
5) Installed xposed framework and downloaded/installed the xposed module via this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040163) and enabled.
6) Rebooted, installled Good for Enterprise with success.
Thanks for the help - I am happy with what I was able to accomplish. If anyone has any other thoughts, please let me know.
Sorry to bump the thread, but is it worth buying the pro version of Titanium Backup in order to be able to "freeze" apps? Thanks.

[Q] Unable to update

Hi, first I want state that I am not a dev, so I want to thank all the devs out there for making things possible for us reg users.
I am running TWRP v2.5.0.0, rooted.
HTC One M7 (AT&T)
Android 4.1.2
HTC Sense 5.0
Software # 1.26.502.15
HTC SDK API level 5.12
(currently backed up incase I brick)
I have 2 things I am seeking to solve. Any comments/feed back is greatly appreciated. If you provide me the steps that would make it easier.
1) updating app issue.
I am having an issue with updating apps. my HTC one M7 keeps telling me I don't have enough storage space. I checked i have total of 32 gigs cap with 18 gigs used.
I cleared my delvik/cache already. Every time i try to update google maps or youtube or anything, keeps bringing me to manage apps to uninstall to free up space
2) How to get rid of AT&T bloatware that is pre installed? (not too important issue, but wanted to know)
I use Titanium back up to uninstall hem, but they show up after refresh. Seems to be part of the phone and can't get rid of them.
If there is a rom out there without the bloatware, please link me to it and I will recover using twrp.

I have 2 things I am seeking to solve. Any comments/feed back is greatly appreciated. If you provide me the steps that would make it easier.
1) updating app issue.
I am having an issue with updating apps. my HTC one M7 keeps telling me I don't have enough storage space. I checked i have total of 32 gigs cap with 18 gigs used.
I cleared my delvik/cache already. Every time i try to update google maps or youtube or anything, keeps bringing me to manage apps to uninstall to free up space
2) How to get rid of AT&T bloatware that is pre installed? (not too important issue, but wanted to know)
I use Titanium back up to uninstall hem, but they show up after refresh. Seems to be part of the phone and can't get rid of them.
If there is a rom out there without the bloatware, please link me to it and I will recover using twrp.

To remove bloat on a AT&T phone you need an insecure kernel - try elemental X or Bulletproof
you recovery and software / firmware are all 2 years old ...Why ??
Follow the instructions here and get your phone up to date

At the time i go the phone, all I did was unroot it. Nothing went wrong, everything was okay was able to dowload apps etc. Now I have problems updating the app it keeps saying my phone storage doesn't have enough space...which doesn't make sense since my m7 has 30+ gigs and I only used like 18. I am trying to figure out why and how to fix that...so to answer you my phone was working fine for 2 years and didn't see the need to fix what was not broken at the time.
PS: thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.

Their are Huge driver and system improvements in the 3.x - 4.x and 5.x firmwares at least update to one of them
and S-off your phone with Rumrunner before you go past 3.x.502.x other wise it cost $25 to s-off with sunshine on firmware 4.x and up

I followed the S-off instructions and it went through to it's first fermentating stage and loaded a series of dots...then it just says Enter to Exit.....
I check S is still on.....
What's is wrong?

Rooting the M7 but keeping the system

Hello, I was searching the internet for an answer to this, but I found nothing.
I would like to root my phone, but I love it as it is - I just want to be able to use apps like Jbed, which are functional only with a rooted phone.
Is there a way to root the phone, but keep the original system, which is being updated from time to time as it is now, or is it necessary to use a Custom ROM? I rooted several phones, but it was always to have a better or a different OS. This time I want to keep the same one.
If it's impossible to stay with the original system (rooted), would you kindly suggest a custom rom that is identical to the official OS?
Thank you very much.

Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash latest supersu from chainfire.
It's important to say that you will loose your preload folder when you root your phone. That means few apps will be deleted from your phone and you won't be able to take official updates unless you restore preload folder after rooting. It's easy to restore it though
donkeykong1: do you mean official updates of the apps or the system?
alray: that didn't really answer my question, but thanks

As I said - official updates aka OTAs. Alray gave you the simplest answer on rooting your phone and keeping your ROM
yes, you said official updates. I have asked whether you're talking about apps, because it is not clear whether you're talking about the apps, or about the system. Alray told me what to do, but I was asking if it's possible to keep the original ROM so please, don't try to score me off. Thanks for your..help though.

I'm sorry if my reply seemed harsh. I really didn't mean to be an ass. What I ment was - when you root your phone, you will loose few apps which are in preload folder in system and that means you won't be able to take OTAs. Since HTC moved most of their apps to play store, you can get updates. I'm running stock ROM on rooted phone, and I got HTC updates without a problem. Alray probably just wanted to say that you can keep your system partition with his method and get your phone rooted
Now I see. I was probably tired, because I didn't understand what you were saying.
Thank you, guys.
