Database Develop

Delete OTA software update

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.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

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?

Apologies, for the small pic in the post above!
Here a phone screen shot showing disabled apps.

The software update all with the green icon is still enabled.

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

ADB disable apps

I am currently not rooted, TMO P4XL and I can't seem to disable system apps with ADB... am I getting the command wrong? (example adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>) it just brings up the list of valid adb commands able to be used with there description

I am not sure if pausing an app is the same, but in app info page you can pause or disable apps from that screen.

Remove Sprint apps and get rid of Sprint activation warning on unlocked Sprint G8

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.

I don't know how to get rid of the Sprint bootup. The last one I purchased had it removed, so it is possible. Someone let me know.

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.

Yep. Just got one today actually.

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

modding anything theres always a risk but if it bootloops you might just have to go to recovery and do a hard rest

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?

How To Guide How to debloat Galaxy Tab S8 ♻️

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.
Can anyone confirm, if it is save to remove the phone app from the device since it is connected to this samsung feature "calls/ messages on other Galaxy devices"? Actually i fully wanne get rid of this feature and app since i don´t use a galaxy phone.

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.

How To Guide Remove OnePlus Account From Settings

If you don't like OnePlus Account In settings you can simply remove it.
Even you don't need root access at all !
1- Install adb on your PC
2- Connect phone to PC
3- Make sure adb can detect your device by running:
Code:
adb devices
4- Then run:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.oneplus.account
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.oneplus.membership
5- Reboot
6- Done!
To restore:
Code:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.oneplus.account
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.oneplus.membership

Good one! It will be history soon!

Nice, this will probably work via Termux. Minus the adb shell in the command.
Will give it a shot .cheers.

Yep nice and gone.
Open Termux then type each line followed by enter.
Su
(Agree to the superuser prompt)
pm uninstall --user 0 com.oneplus.account
pm uninstall --user 0 com.oneplus.membership
Should see SUCCESS after each uninstall.

This isn't really new or ground breaking. You can use ADBAppControl to clear out half your phone like this. Removed most OnePlus and Google Bloat. account, membership, backuprestore, store, games and a bunch of google stuff i'll never use.

Thank you. But I'm not rooted yet and that's a different problem right now. So I went back and tried the OP again and it worked I don't have login to OnePlus account.

strangely, it gave me error
Edit: OOS13.0.0 by the way. NE2211. I think we need root/su for pm commands

Sure you need root for something like this.
The command "su" means super user

Yep you do..
Hence superuser

Second command failed for me, most likely because I had already disabled that part with ADB App Control, but now that annoying "log into OnePlus account" nag is finally gone, regardless. Thanks!
