Nothing is happening. Stock roms have a system write protection even if you are rooted. You need a custom kernel that disable HTC write protection. You can still add files to system even if you are stock, but only if you do it via recovery.

I think you are mixed up. That is to fix micro sd writing. He is trying to freeze or delete apps. You need kernal on stock Rom or jus flash a Rom.

Sorry. Posted to wrong topic

I didn't have to do anything for RW access to system just s-off and root, but there is a module you can install to enable RW somewhere on this forum.

Any ideas how to do this, where to get such a kernel? Or (if so, how?) can this be done from recovery?

Just look in the Development section, or even faster use the Index thread sticky near the top of the General section.
Another option, just flash a custom ROM. All of them should have system write protection disabled.

I have root my phone with unrevoked the one click and I am trying to remove some stock apps directly from the phone and still tell me that is read only, I don't have the write/delete permission to do it? Is that how is intend or my root is wrong ?

You can remount your system partition as Read/Write if your NAND is unlocked, just do an "adb remount"

You could always just download titanium backup and remove them or download root explorer
Go to system/app hit the rw/w in the right corner and delete what you don't want

He could just pull the app out of that ROM and install it like a regular app on his phone. If you really want to you can install it back to the system/app folder which is where it was originally. Let me know if you want the commands to do that and I'll post them. It will work just fine in the data/app folder though.

You could always just run a RUU and reroot.
If that is easier for you.

That's what I suggested. You also suggested the added step of unrooting and rooting again though I think that's completely unnecessary and would be a huge PITB just to get the calendar back. There's no need to throw unrooting into the mix. He should just flash the (rooted) stock ROM.

Eh it just brings everything to stock, updates the radio and so forth, just gets it all done.

Actually he didn't mention if he flashed a custom recovery or not so he might have to run RUU if he can't flash the stock ROM. I didn't think about that.
OP, did you flash either ClockworkMod or Among RA recovery?

If you have the calendar.apk, is the option to install non-market apps checked under settings-applications-development?

You can't just install calendar.apk because its a system app.
You would have to push it to /system/app then run fix permissions.
Flashing the stock ROM through recovery would be easiest.

Assuming it's a sense rom, I would just download any sense rom, then push it via adb to the /system/app folder, chmod 0744 {filename.ext}. Done.
If it's AOSP, then same instructions, but grab an AOSP rom.
I would just reflash the rom you flashed originally. Wipe Dalvik/Cache and you should be good to go.
It says he's on stock ROM right in the thread title!

Ok, it's been a while since I rooted, but, when I did you had some form of a development rom and had to flash a different one right away. There were several "stock roms" to choose from.
It may be different now, so maybe I'm wrong. If so, get over it.
OP you have tons of options to correct your situation.. the thread police can surely help you out.

I have the same issue I installed a lock ring color and for some reason it kicked out the calender widget so I'm looking just for the calender widget if anyone has it. I truly dont want to have to reinstall this rom to get it back its just takes so long to restore my data.

My friend all you have to do is get the calendar widget apk from the rom you flashed and adb push it back over

[Q] WFS root problem

Hello,
I have a WFS which is S-ON.
I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com.
When i restart the phone in the bootloader, i see in the first line "UNLOCKED"; the phone is still S-ON.
When i try to root it (supertoolv3), it says it's rooted at the end, but nothing is done after the restart.
Also by installing Superuser and Busybox from the play store does not help.
I don't want to put a custom bootloader nor Rom, just want a rooted phone to uninstall some bloatware and use some applications...
Another question i have is how to flash a stock rom with the Belgium Dutch AZERTY keyboard... Anyone an idea?
My actual rom has version 2.26.401.4
Does anyone has an idea what i can try?
Already thanks!

He means install titanium backup and allow root permissions. After it starts go into the apps section touch the app you want to remove and press uninstall.
Don't forget to press thanks if I helped.

Just delete the super user app. There should be an unroot option in there somewhere. You shouldn't need to worry about the recovery. But I believe there is a stock recovery in the non carrier branded forum

You could download this rom and once it's done downloading open the .zip up and delete Superuser.apk from either /system/app or Data/app. Then when you boot up it should look normal enough. After that you could just flash a stock recovery
IMO that's your best option since I haven't seen a ruu yet.

Yo
I have a quick question for the administrators. I was on Cyanogenmod with TWRP Recovery on my Htc one M8, i did everything stock (installed 2.22.401.4 odexx stock rom, with stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and turner S-ON) Now i have OTA update and when i click install now it shows red triangle and the update fails. When i go into recovery it shows something like 2.22.401.4 "something is wrong or missing something-i dont like to go into recovery to see again but i think you know this issue ) Can you please tell me what to do guys i dont want to sell my htc m8 and i want to get the OTA's in the future without any problem. Btw my phone is bought from T-Mobile Macedonia, where i wondered is this t-mobile RUU for all countries T-Mobile devices or just US?
I will be very grateful for your answers dudes.
Thank you in advance.
