Hi,
I am trying to uninstall the app Quickoffice from HTC with Titanium Backup Pro. When i try to uninstall, the phone just reboots, and the app is still there.
I have stock FroYo, and the phone is rooted.
Am i doing something wrong?
You need s-off for r/w acces to system. App is in system.

Use adb while in recovery mode to remove it, as the above poster said, you need s-off for write access to /system/ while booted

I have uninstalled it with Titanium Backup (Youtube.apk disappears from /system/app), rebooted, tried to install but has gotten "Installation unsuccessful" instead. Upon rebooting Youtube.apk magically re-appears.
ROM: OpenDesire
same here, running miui.
It's the same issue that affected Maps, etc. Updated fine on RCMixHD btw, installed over the top of the stock app via the Market

Installing over stock app doesn't work on OpenDesire, neither does uninstalling and rebooting.

Any ideas what to do besides waiting for AdamG to update OpenDesire?
Did anybody try "adb push" the app?

please explain in steps how to do that! id be very grateful
Okay I wiped my phone and installed DeFroST instead. Had not used DeFroST for a long time.
and now it works?
Adb is kinda long try this first see if it works, replace the YouTube apk in gapps(system/app directory) with the new YouTube apk and flash gapps(with the new YouTube).

just S-OFF your device, which enables REAL write access to your system and you can uninstall. with S-ON, you cannot write to /system and other partitions - the SPL denies that.
Use titanium backup to delete it, reboot your phone then install it.

Ganjdroid, he already did that and it didn't work for him :/

With Titanium backup it only works for S-OFF phones for all other :
reboot to recovery
mount system partition
plug in to usb
open terminal and wirte:
adb shell
push C://Downloads/Youtube.apk /system/app/
or use Android Commander Instead.
I have a rooted phone running the GingerVillain ROM. It has some programs I don't want like Mail, Gmail and News And Weather.
I followed the steps to remove the programs with Root Explorer. I.E. Going into System/Apps and mounting R/W. long press on the APK and delete. Boom, program gone..... nope! I went into my menu and it is still there. Even worse, it is still works!
I rebooted the phone and the APK files were there again!
Anybody seen this kind of strange activity before?
If you are still S-ON, it won't work. You need to be S-OFF to delete files from the system partition while the phone is up & running.
I've heard of that. How would I know if I'm S-OFF? If I'm not then how can i set my phone to S-OFF?
Strangely it appears that the file deletes. It only reappears after reboot. I would have thought it wouldn't have deleted at all if it wasn't working correctly.
How to know that? Well, it was just discussed, you're not S-OFF, because you can't delete files from the system partition (it disappears, but it's still there).
And also if you did not do the S-OFF procedure, it won't be S-OFF'd.
Here's the guide how to do it: S-OFF Tutorial

Another way to find out S-ON/OFF is to look into your H-BOOT by turning off your phone, hold down the volume down and switching on. The first line will tell you what it is set to.

Unless you've done the s-off procedure you won't be s-off
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I found the s-off procedure using alpharev bootable CD as quick and easy as rooting (once I was running a custom rom).
Now I have zapped unwanted apps directly whilst running and also flashed hboot giving me more free memory and a very responsive phone.

And if you don't want to go s-off just delete the files in the Rom zip file before you flash it.

Hello Hox owners,
I rooted my hox a while ago.
Just before the latest update came.
To get the last update, I needed to go back to stock recovery.
This went well I thought but since I have the Wifi problems i was looking at my phone closer and saw I got the stock recovery but SU app still installed.
I want to gain root access again, remove the superuser app, and unroot it fully because I need to send my phone back for repair soon (I hope).
The clockwork was installed succesfully, the latest version of superuser as well, update binaries also flawless but somehow still no root access according to es filemanager and titanium backup...
What do I need to do to get this fix?
Thnx in advance!
Ralph

Maybe those apks were denied permissions for some reason. Try going into superuser & clearing all app default settings & reboot.

Thnx for the reply but no apps are visible inside SuperSU.
Titanium was installed after I "rerooted" my hox.
There is no clear cache option inside SuperSU, right?

Can you get root checker from the market. & confirm that the Su binaries we installed correctly? If that app says your rooted then maybe try clearing superuser data. & reopening your apps.

Hi,
my friend has an HTC Desire HD, which is on a stock 2.3.3 ROM, unrooted, AT&T Branded, probably Net-Locked (not SIM-Locked though) and S-ON. Now the VOL-UP button is mechanically broken, which is covered by her insurance.
I want to back up all her data, apps and app settings. I will probably flash a RUU before giving it to the repair people to delete all personal information. How do I perform the backup?
I usually use Titanium Backup for that but it requires root, which requires a downgrade, which deletes all the apps. Basically I want a temproot for 2.3.3, but I couldn't find anything like that. Visionary+ seems to work on 2.2 only.
Thanks for any advice or information.
I know my way through a terminal and have access to Windows, Linux and OS-X. Bonus if I only require the Linux machine though.

Hi, I'm not that technical so here's what I would do. Root the phone, make a backup of original ROM using ROM Manager. Do what you want, save it and then flash back to the original ROM.

But as I understand it, in order to root it I have to downgrade it to 2.2 first and the downgrade deletes all my apps and settings. Is that not correct?
Try root with superoneclick 2.3.3

Doesn't work. Superoneclick runs through without error but the installed Superuser App on the phone crashes, Titanium Backup can't get root access and after a reboot everything is gone.

Hi,
I recently updated my Hercules T989 to Jellybean 4.1.2 via Kies. When I was on ICS, I could easily uninstall the t-mobile stock apps(or any other stock apps) using Titanium Backup Pro. But after upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I cant uninstall a single stock app. I tried updating Titanium backup pro from 4.1 to 4.5.6 but its still the same. It can freeze the apps but one app: 't-mobile accounts' unfreezes itself. I dont know how it happens. By the way, the device is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Are you sure Titanium Backup has root permissions? Check your Superuser app log and make sure they're being granted. You need root access for Titanium Backup to be able to remove/freeze system apps (like the built-in stuff).

Yes, I have rooted my phone after I upgraded the firmware through kies. I checked my root status using the app 'Root Checker Basic'. It says my phone as proper root access.

Yes, I have checked it. TB has been granted root permissions. TB successfully freezes all my system apps. But only one app - "T-Mobile My Accounts" unfreezes itself automatically after a while. I dont know how or why that happens. All my other system apps stay frozen except that one single app. And about uninstalling, none of the system apps can be uninstalled. When I run the batch operation to uninstall, it shows the progress bar but gets stuck at 0%. No progress at all.

Sounds like you are using a stock based ROM then. So you will have to live with that app. Otherwise you may cause problems by trying to delete or freeze it. Anybody that is determined to remove it, you can use a root based file explorer and delete the apk from the system/app folder. Backup the app somewhere by copying & pasting it in another folder, so you can replace it later if you start experiencing issues.
