I have a Note 9 with Verizon that has Oreo 8.1.0 on it. I have been trying to avoid downloading the Pie update. I had developer options on and auto updates were turned off, yet the update still got downloaded. How can I delete the downloaded software and stop these the installation reminders? It says I can delay the update only 8 more times before it automatically installs it My phone is not rooted and I don't know the first thing about rooting a phone. Any help would be appreciated!
I dont think you can permanently stop it without running some adb command. Too my knowledge there is no root currently available for the Snapdragon version of the Note 9.
Other users on here might know the adb command to run though but I'm not knowledgable on it.

Thank you for replying. I hope someone knows something.
Try using package disabler pro to disable the update services. Might work.

Yes, it is disabled from there as well which is the weird part. It still downloaded the update.

What you can do is hard reset your phone! Make sure you back up everything first that way the update will get wiped off your phone! Also when you re set it up, do not connect to network! Make sure NO Wi-FI NO Sim! Once your at home screen! Disable all auto updates from settings and dev options then install Adhell 3 disable all update packages and you will be fine!
quote "Adhell 3 can easily block any package plus it has the added benefit of system wide ad-blocking. Use this guide to setup: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...tance-t3873831 (its post 3 or 4 I think that has the instructions). Enjoy!" Not mine--> He posted this another thread! @mtweisenbarger777
Yes that would work too^ I'm just blocking the services and seem to have done the job for me so far as I had that same concern as I just downgraded from pie and don't want to accidently update again
I stopped the updates by going to the Note 9 U1 XAA firmware. No Verizon branding. No VZW updates.

Package disabler apps must be purchased? But why not just disable with adb? (it's built in to your Note9 and free)
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/176727/stop-galaxy-s7-upgrade-nag-screen/176739#176739
I just did this, so we'll see if this works over the next few days and doesn't break anything else:
adb shell
to find packages:
pm list packages | grep soagent
pm list packages | grep wssyncmldm
to disable:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
pm disable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm
enable later:
pm enable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
pm enable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

I cannot figure out how to get to the place where I can perform ADB commands.
Directions say to select PTP mode, but I do not have that as a choice in the status bar, when I connect my Note 9 on Oreo to Windows 10 laptop. I think that is why no commands work in the Powershell as administrator window, opened in the Platform Tools folder.
Do I start in Recovery or Download Mode?
I also read that ADB commands can be performed in ODIN, but I don't see where to type.
In Power Shell for Fastboot I receive the following error, when entering "adb devices"
adb : The term 'adb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

1. Use cmd not powershell
2. Use. "Cd c:/your folders/folder-where-adb.exe-is" and replace the filepath with the filepath that leads to where your ADB.exe file is. Most likely in platform tools folder.
3. Go Into developer settings, enable USB debugging.
4. Plug phone into computer using file transfer mode, check your phone and allow your phone to "trust" your PC Always when the box comes up.
5. Now type ADB shell into the cmd prompt and you should get a $: instead of C: on the blinking line. Now you can execute PM Commands

As you can see from the attached screenshot, ADB could not find the wssyncmldm app, but CCSWE App Manager listed the OS update apps as shown at the bottom of the screenshot and I was able to disable those.

Am I set to prevent OS updates and stay on Oreo or did I do a bad thing?

Some apps are not installed under --user 0, and instead are system apps. Try removing --user 0 and see if to uninstalls.

Hi. good day. I am new, I see that it is an excellent community, where they help others.
I received the xz1c a few days ago, the phone is fast, incredible I love it, I had z1c and z5c, I'm from Paraguay.
I want to know how to remove bloatware and tutorial from how to do it and safe applications to remove.
read about the command 'adb uninstall --user 0 <package name>'
but I would like some tutorial to do it right
With regard to many of the 3rd party applications which are installed by default, and which cannot be removed entirely: If you disable them the "stubs" that are left only take up a few KB of space and will not be automatically updated. I believe you run the fewest risks of other problems if you handle it in this way.

In order for you to avoid mistake, here is what I've done on mine:
1) Under your application list, force stop app, then delete cache, delete data and finally deactivate the app
2) If not already done, activate developer option, by tapping 7 time on build version
3) Enable USB debugging only
4) Download android platform tools from official developer website according your OS, unzip tools into a folder, and open a cmd console from there
4) Plug you device, do not select any option
5) Test your connection by typing C:\>adb devices to see if your phone is correctly seen by your computer, accept any prompt from your devices if any, and yours should appear on the list under the console. This tuto is still useful if needed on this step
6) Then enter this following command to get the list of any deactivated application
Code:
C:\Users\baudbox\Downloads\platform-tools>adb shell pm list packages -d
package:com.sonymobile.deqp
package:com.google.android.apps.work.oobconfig
package:com.google.android.webview
package:com.sonyericsson.xhs
package:com.google.android.videos
7) Finally remove each dedicated application, one by one by the following command:
Code:
C:\Users\baudbox\Downloads\platform-tools>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos
Success
You should have a Success at the line.
If you have any doubt of the package name, just grab the name and browse either on xda or internet to find out what to which app belongs the package name.
Hope that helps
Does anyone have a full list of which ones they disabled / are safe to disable?
need an access root?
is it root access? or still as an official software?

Regarding your question, yes you'll still get sony updates. For some for which name contains "sony", regarding the list, it worth to check what it does (ie. com.google.android.gm = gmail, so if you use gmail, you should keep it).
Smart move to disable the apps to have something to find them by in adb! :good:
I do wonder however, why would you use the -k option to pm uninstall? Isn't that to preserve app data and cache? Is there any danger in removing it all, ie without -k (hope not, I recently did that for both my and my wife's phones... )?

did exactly that. and it worked.
hate to redo all the setup process, so others please be aware.
In my efforts to troubleshoot battery drain, I found that "Advanced Logging" was using a lot of my battery. A quick Google search shows that it's part of the Support app and involved in sending usage data (which I have unchecked and declined consent in the Support app): https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ/Advanced-Logging-Spyware/td-p/1180249
Can this safely be disabled via ADB? Any idea what the package name is? For now I've just Greenified it and will see if that helps.

To save data all you do is flash the system, you'll still have to disable apps and stuff but won't have to start from scratch like you do when you do a full wipe.

The ADB command was successful but it doesn't seem to have solved my wakelock problem. Still, even with the setting for usage stats off and consent declined in the Support app, the Advanced Logging app was reported as using data and battery in the background, so good riddance!
Edit: System Update force closes after doing this and upgrading to .8.49. I'm not sure which one of those actions caused the problem, but reflashing my firmware minus userdata did not fix it, so I'm thinking it's possibly due to removing Advanced Logging.
I have signed out of huawei ID as I dont want to use any of their services. I think all is fine except for this function called HiSearch - where you scroll down from home screen in an empty space, it will bring down a HiSearch. Something like what you see on iOS. Now it kept asking me to sign in which I obviously dont want to.
Any way to disable this?
Find my thread how to debloat. You can remove almost every Huawei service including login in settings.
Please backup first. Sometimes you can cause a bootloop if you remove to much
Remove 'HiSearch'
===========================
Mate 20 Pro tips and tricks
===========================
Are you accidentally swiping the annoying 'HiSearch' feature on your new Huawei Mate 20 Pro?
Well, now you can safely remove it and it's not that hard if you pay attention to the instructions below.
(It probably works on other 'Mate 20' versions but I've only tested it on the 'Pro' version.)
First, we need to play with your phone.
---------------------------------------
On your phone, open 'Settings'. Scroll down to 'System'. Tap on 'About Phone'.
Scroll down to 'Build number' and tap on it about 5-7 times to enable developer options.
Next, go to 'Settings' > 'Developer Options' > 'USB Debugging', and enable it.
Finally, in 'Developer Options' scroll down to 'Select USB configuration' and choose 'Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)'.
On your computer...
-------------------
1) Download the ADB zip file to your Windows desktop computer or laptop.
Direct link to the ADB zip file is here:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Unzip the contents of the zip file to your desktop.
There will be a new folder called 'platform-tools'.
2) Connect your phone to the computer through a USB port and (if prompted) enable USB Debugging on your phone.
(There may be a pop up on your phone asking you to do this.)
Open the 'platform-tools' folder that you just unzipped and open a 'command prompt' from inside that folder.
Put your mouse somewhere in the folder, hold 'shift' and right click your mouse. Select 'Open command window here'.
3) Type "adb devices" then enter.
This just proves that you are connected to your phone.
The long ID number of your phone will show up if you are.
4) Type "adb Shell" then enter.
5) Type "pm list packages" then enter.
This will show you a long list of packages installed on your phone.
6) Type "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.search" then enter.
7) Did you see the word "Success"?
8) You did it. Aren't you clever! No more accidental 'HiSearch' swipes on your phone.

I picked up a G9600 and it has a knox enterprise certificate that configures the phone upon initial setup. It is not locked out yet and I can still return it but I’m also trying to figure this weird setup out and possibly clean it up. Rent-A-Center is renting phones that can be remote controlled by them, they supposedly buy them directly from Samsung like this. It’s very interesting!
To remove all of the knox and mdm stuff you have to do this:
Open Samsung Calculator and type in (+30012012732+, this will pop up drp mode, then type in the *#0808#, select DM+Modem+ADB, and hit reboot. You should now have ADB! (you have to do this same method after every reboot)
Once you enable ADB, then you can run these commands to disable knox enrollment center:
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.knox.kccagent"
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.planetcellinc.ressvc"
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.absolute.android.agent"
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms"
From here you can also now grant SystemUItuner adb permissions to disable animations and modify your status bar/quick settings. FYI, none of this will survive a reset.
Now all I have left to do is figure out how to enable developer options so that I can OEM unlock. I successfully got CROM app to unlock it, I just have no way to access the toggle. After 7 days the prenormal KG Status did go away.
EDIT: I no longer have the phone so I cannot continue digging into this. It worked on all version of Oreo, I never got to try it on Pie.

Maybe is not the full set of instructions, then you post the rest and now its a full solution (i think). I dont want credits or whatever, i just want to point you must link the info for reference. Videos, Posts and other stuff. If you post the link to the Youtube Video, can be useful.

Like the OP said, this method cant survive a Reset.
Hello, need a little help with a note 9 from RAC. I was able to get into phone by bypassing set up but I'm limited with what I can use do to samsungs knox modified by RAC. I tried the calculator method from this post by I't didnt work because of the limitations I suppose. Is there any way that you can grant root access to an app like file explorer from a PC to remove frp setting so that I can Odin flash an unmodified RAC firmware.

Yes I kind of got that but I figured it would be the same process and all on how disable samsungs modified by RAC Knox and as it seems to work for me on a temporary disable as listed etc. I know of some apps that need root access can be granted through a PC my question was in how to do that to try and change it through fike explorer. Has it been attempted?

I have a S9+ sm-G9650U variant from R.A.C. ... you can still get to developer options via the apps that shortcut to there in the play store but it's hidden from normal settings area anyway even when enabled also attempting to flash results in "cannot flash MDM mode" message and phone auto reset to the out of box remote set up. also it seems oem unlock is permanent locked (supposedly) via MDM somehow...as I asked this at rent a center and was told at the end of the lease/rental agreement MDM is removed and oem unlock will be enabled so idk if it can be done without MDM issuing it... also attached is the app i use to access developer options.

There should be no difference between the S9 and Note 9, I only had access to the S9 for testing. I doubt the Android Pie update still allows this, I got rid of the phone before that came out but I was on latest Oreo update with it still working.
Yes

Yeah, XDA mods are bad. The full solution seems to be the better solution in the long run anyway. I hope anyone who actually needs to use this goes the full solution route.
I tried something simulre back several months ago when I first picked up an unlocked S9 from Amazon from a 3rd party seller, was never able to get it bypassed, and even If I did didnt trust it. I ended up calling the number which was a local store number, they looked up the imei and it was reported stolen. So back to the seller it went.
If you trip knox on purpose it goes away perm. First to get rid of the problem of not being able to wipe it you have to get combo firmware use Odin to flash it in but be sure to check nand erase all on options tab and boom it's now able to be wiped. For a lot of units you're done just flash full firmware. However on some devices you have to extract the boot.img.lz4 from the ap file from full firmware file (not combo) then use 7zip to extract boot.img from boot.img.lz4 now copy the boot.img to a device that has magisk manager running on it. Tap install magisk select boot.img it creates a patched boot.img in your downloads folder. Copy back to PC use 7zip to put boot.img into a tar. Put device in download mode flash new tar it in you will see an error about knox. Put back in download mode confirm knox is tripped (samsung pay and other knox stuff won't work) flash full firmware. The notice about reenrollment will pop up but once u connect to wifi itll just go through normal setup because it's no longer "fit" for knox enrollment. Boom. Any questions let me know.

After you do the above, you'll be able to uninstall "com.absolute.android.agent", "com.sec.knox.kccagent", and "com.planetcellinc.ressvc" from within Settings > Apps.
Then you can go into Settings > Developer Settings > OEM Unlock
***I don't think this step matters, but I did it anyway just to be sure***
Go back to adb use the "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package name>" command on everything that has the word "knox" and "enterprise" in the package name.
Then power off the device.
Hold Bixby + Volume Down while you connect phone to the computer.
This will bring you to download mode. You'll see 3 options:
Volume Up for Download mode
Volume Up for 7 seconds for Bootloader Unlock
Volume Down and Power for Cancel/Restart Phone
Choose the Bootloader Unlock option
Your phone will factory reset, but I guess since it unlocks the bootloader, it factory resets the phone to stock samsung firmware and not the rent a center controlled firmware..
You'll go through the initial setup but it will skip the rent a center knox configure step and go right into the phone as normal.
When it loads, go back to Developer Settings, double check to see that OEM Unlock is on AND grayed out, rather than OEM Unlock being off and grayed out.
This will remove all Rent A Center phone control, but I'd assume they could still blacklist your IMEI number.
Hey everybody.
I've been testing this but I can't select DM+Modem+ADB because I don't have that option.
I have RMNET+DM+MODEM+ADPL
I installed some adb drivers with that option but I get no response from adb devices and can't continue with commands.
Any tip is appreciated.
I just picked up a "renewed" unlocked G8 thinq (Model LM-G820UM) on Amazon for a pretty good price. I'm using it on ATT prepaid, but its got a Sprint logo on startup. It also complained about network activation at every startup, but otherwise worked fine.
Combined with the fine work of rldev, here's a guide to remove the bloatware and ditch that activation message. It will still say sprint on bootup/shutdown, but other than that, no way I can tell its a sprint phone.

To get ADB working (windows):
Get and install LG USB drivers from here: http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
Get the ADB binary from here: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Unzip it somewhere on your computer you can keep track of.
On your phone, go to Settings and tap on About Phone. Find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable Developer Options.
Now enter Developer Options and find USB Debugging. Enable it.
Plug your phone into the computer and change it from “charge only” mode to “file transfer (MTP)” mode.
On your computer, open a CMD prompt (windows key, type cmd, hit enter)
Change directory to the folder you unzipped with the adb binary (CD <folder path>)
enter the following command: adb devices
You will see that the system is starting the ADB daemon. If this is your first time running ADB, you will see a prompt on your phone asking you to authorize a connection with the computer. Grant it.
Now if you re-run the adb devices command, the terminal will print the serial number of your device. If so, then you’re ready to move on.
Enter the following command: adb shell

Hi. thanks for the info and the procedure. all went fine on my LG V50 thinq from Sprint (LM-V450PM). some interesting data is that I could get rid of the Sprint bootup performing a hard reset with the key convination before turning the phone on. I could not say if the device will be able to receive software updates after all these procedures because I already had it updated before to android 10. now the phone seems to be running a clean official rom. hope to hear about some root news for this device.
i am stumped at #9. was the next step" CD<path address>?" because that did not work.
then i tried to skip it to enter abd devices in cmd and that didn't work either.
could someone please answer if it's not too much trouble?

replace <path address> with (if you simply downloaded it and unzipped it) example: Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows\platform-tools so it'll be "cd Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows\platform-tools"
Do you think this process will allow WiFi calling to work on T-Mobile?
It worked perfectly but i would like to install stock rom for this device without bloatware and that one that does not have to do these steps every time I reset the phone. Can somebody help me to find that rom 'cause i found a lot of regions and i don't know wich one is the one i need.
when doing this process is there a risk of brick? It is the first time that I will try

Hello can you assist me
Disabling Sprint Activation for non-Sprint Networks (on Mac)
1) Enable Developer options on G8X ThinQ.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software info and then tap Build number a few times to enable Developer Mode. Accept warning. In the now available "Developer Options" settings, enable USB debugging.
2) Connect the phone to Mac through USB. No additional drivers need to be installed.
2) Following these instructions to install adb and issue commands on Mac
Install and Use ADB and Fastboot on Mac [How to]
If you want to use ADB commands in Mac terminal, you'll have to download and install ADB and Fastboot on Mac or you'll get 'not found' error.
technastic.com
I placed the unzipped platform tools in the Application folder.
3) list potentially unneeded Sprint packages to uninstall.
./adb shell pm list packages | grep sprint
For all packages:
./adb shell pm list packages
3) Check for the existence of com.lge.lgdmsclientspr, the service which initiates the Sprint activation at boot.
./adb shell pm list packages -f com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
or without -f
./adb shell pm list packages com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
4) Uninstall/Disable com.lge.lgdmsclientspr package
Uninstall
./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
Reinstall later
./adb shell pm install-existing com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
Alternatively,
Disable
./adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
Enable
./adb shell pm enable com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
5) Confirm packages enabled or disabled
List all enabled apps filtered by "sprint":
./adb shell pm list packages -e | grep sprint
List all disabled apps
./adb shell pm list packages -d
6) Reboot the device by ADB command
./adb reboot
In Windows, the adb shell command is started as follows:
Windows Command Prompt: adb shell pm list packages -d
Windows PowerShell: .\adb
question 1: is it recommended to remove the (active european) sim card before injecting those commands or does it not affect the system change anyway?
question 2: although my refurbed G8 from California works with a german sim card, it seems the phone itself still has a country lock, due to not accepting european LG Smartworld login. It only offers login possibility via US, Canadian and Mexican LG accounts. Will this restriction be overridden after the here mentioned debrand codes initiation?
In this guide we will see step by step how to debloat the Galaxy Tab S8
First of all we have to enable: Developer Options
Settings->About tablet->Software information->(tap 7 times)Build number
After that we will enable: OEM Unlocking & USB Debbuging
Settings->Developer Options->OEM Unlocking(ON) & USB Debbuging(ON)
On the next step we need to download & install : ADB & Fastboot tools
Once you install the tools, connect your {Tablet} - {PC}
Select: USB Debbuging & Open your: Terminal
We are almost there
Now i will make a short explanation in order to understand what are we doing exactly & how we will do it.
What is ADB?
ADB provides us with commands that can be used to debug Android devices,
installing or uninstalling apps and getting information about a connected device.
adb shell
This command activates the remote shell command console on the connected Android smartphone or tablet.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0
Using this, you can easily uninstall the unwanted system apps. To be able to execute it, you must issue 'adb shell' command first.
You can then use 'pm uninstall -k --user 0' followed by the Android app package name as shown below.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.whatsapp_2.20.apk
This command can help you if you want to remove all the bloatware from your phone.
Please note that most system apps don't have the 'Uninstall' option on the device but this command works magically.
If you don't know the app package name for the apps you want to remove, you can use adb shell pm list packages to find it out.
adb shell pm list packages
Using the above ADB Shell command, you can print the list of the app package names for all apps installed on your Android device.
You can use this command with different parameters to get a more specific list of app packages.
For instance, if you want to list the system apps only, use
adb shell pm list packages -s
In order to list all third-party apps installed on your Android phone or tablet, you issue the following command.
adb shell pm list packages -3
Do you want ADB Shell to show the list of all enabled or disabled apps on your device,
try the command with '-d' (disabled apps) and '-e' (for enabled apps) parameter.
adb shell pm list packages -d
adb shell pm list packages -e
Now, if pm list command troubles you or you are unsure that you are making the right choice you should stop right there
(uninstalling the wrong app might harm your tablet's operating system) and use another method for identifying which app you want to uninstall.
(GUI method - Graphical User Interface) For example: APK Inspector will provide you with a detailed list of installed packages (plus their icon) on your device, once you select an app, extra details will be shown to you & that's how you will get the correct name.of.the.app
Thanks for your time ❤

I really appreciate this write-up it has been a big help..
I use my OnePlus 9 pro with ADB and fastboot for Android NDK to debloat..
and that application inspector is a God send so again. thank you
I don't know if it was just a fluke or what but when I rebooted after successfully deleting digital well-being my tablet booted up super fast...
either way I'm good.
Awesome thanks for the tip. Is using "install" put the app back if I screw up something?
So it really doesn't uninstall just uninstalls from your app draw?

For the os, it is like it has been uninstalled. But you don't free disk space, as the data of the app are still there. They just been hidden from os. That's why you can have back the app again just with an adb command again.
Man I used this to shut down numerous apps on all of my Android devices. Samsung and Verizon apps. Thanks!
Went back in to uninstall more apps. Device is recognized but adb shell won't load. The last time I used adb it was for my phone.
Figured it out, had to revoke USB debugging on my tablet. Delete on the computer c:user.android and restart (actual path on the computer could be different than what I stated).
Hi there.

I have Debloated it (adb frozen) months ago. Didn't have any problem. You can always enable it again.
Am I right? If i debloat I don't clean up the system space used from the os ?

You won't earn more free space. Apps are still there after Debloating.

You remove the app for the current user but its still inside system's root directory.
You don't gain storage.
What you can achieve tho if you remove/disable the unnecessary services without causing softbrik or error spamming 'service has stop working' is a lightweight $user who uses less ram, your phone's overall performance is better and the battery reduction is slower.
