Make a backup. Reflash NK2 tar and find out My battery is at 40% or id jump on it just for the sheer pleasure of seeing if it does work.
But it should, it worked on an ATT variant

Oh, sure. That would be the easy way - IF I had a brain right now.
I don't know how to:
1.Make a backup - beyond minimal backups. I have the important things backed up preparing for root, but don't have root to use anything good. Not as worried about app stuff. I transferred everything from my Note 3 and still have the TBU backups and the MBU backups.
2. Reflash NK2 tar - ZERO clue how to do this. I can get rooted through ODIN if I'm not exhausted (I am - apparently a really bad week), but that's officially all I know and even then it's been almost a year. Never used ODIN except once. Period. Wouldn't even know how to find the right file other than I know I'm on... N910PVPU1ANK2. Sammobile probably has it. I need to do all of this once my brain wakes up and the glass of wine I'm currently enjoying (since I can't do much else) isn't helping.
I try very hard not to do things I'm too exhausted to do. Ended up posting on the wrong thread earlier. That's bad and a first for me.

screw it.. im about to try it, flashing Stock NK2. Ill report my findings

What's your browser? Ad blockers, etc. in the way? Try another browser. Could be you have pop-ups off and it's trying that. What have you tried? (I'm not good with Android or rooting, but I can do computers. I teach them and software.)

That is bizarre. I use FF normally and only resort to Chrome when I can't access something through FF. Have you tried (gasp) IE? Bad browser, but sometimes it's the only thing that works when the others don't.

Yup. It works.
However, with the .bat file, youre going to have to add a package name that VZW doesnt have to fool with that we do to stop the OTA notifications
Code:
tools\adb shell "am force-stop com.wssyncmldm"
tools\adb shell "pm block com.wssyncmldm"
I just added it under the
Code:
tools\adb shell "pm block com.samsung.sdm"
If you dont add those 2 lines, you wont get rid of the notification in the status bar and the constant nagging to Install.
And youll be good to go man

Lol, hardly, but thanks . Just make a folder with a Short Name and drag all 4 files (one being a folder) into that folder.
Open up the Block and Unblock Bloat.bat file (can be edited with normal notepad) and scroll down until you see

and add those 2 lines with the needed package that missing.

Cricket Huawei Ascend M860 Nandroid backup?

So, as of yesterday i am completely new to android, though a big tech head.
my typical approach tends to be break it now, and figure out how to fix it.. then if it breaks again you know what to do. haha..
i'm looking for a backup, i uninstalled google talk and of course had the associated problems with doing that, and am unable to repair it without another image.
Other Suggestions?
I tried all of the Clockwork mods available for similar devices and none work :-/ bad thing is, if it doesnt work I have to pull my battery out, meaning I have to take this damn two piece case off! Help us peeps of genius! Thanks
I am also looking for the ROM, as I deleted the Talk as well. I reinstalled Talk, but the Market still does not work. If anyone can help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
I think that I have found the ROM at:
Code:
huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=downloadFile&flay=software&fileName=37043&attachmentName=M860V100R001C153B251SP03.zip
EDIT: It is a very slow download!
EDIT 2: I have installed this and can confirm that it does work!
Ok so we download this but what can we do after we install this? This is just the recovery image right?

I have uploaded this and both informational files to my site. You guys may view then at:
Code:

They have images with step by step instructions. I will not be hosting these files long, maybe a few weeks, as it will kill my bandwidth.
Oh, yes, it is only the factory image/rom/firmware. I was only doing this for the people that have messed up their phones and are needing to restore to the current factory settings. This is not the same as the phones restore, as that does not replace system files, but this does.
Thank you Xerxes
I'm just gonna download it just incase i mess up my phone in the future.

So does anyone have a ROM cooked up for this one yet? Or a reliable method to Root it? It is driving me bonkers that it constantly launches the crapware that came preloaded on it. It need to be cleaned, the bloat slows it to a painful speed...
Anyone? Why would it auto launch Uno? Help!

I have rooted mine twice without any issues, other than I deleted Google Talk the first time, using SuperOneClickv1.5.4-ShortFuse.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
EDIT: Also I bought SystemApp Remover, to remove Uno, midnight bowling and a few other things. It works great, once you are rooted. You have to hit the uninstall twice on some apps.
system app remover
if it says just uninstalls and not deletes... whats tha difference. also has anyone found a way to increase volume hrough headset/ I am rooted through z4root. also had no luck in installing clockwork mod recovery..
Uninstall means it removes it, and not just deleting the program. So it removes the settings that calls for it to run, and not just delete the program an leave the settings.

Scriptable commands to disable CarrierIQ on stock rooted

I have been messing around with getting all (or at least most) of the CarrierIQ services disabled without having to install a NoCIQ mod.
I have made some progress and wanted to share the info in case other people have more to add.
The following commands are what I am using:
Code:
# setprop service.iq.active 0
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity
They should be easily scriptable to run at startup, but for now I am running them in an SL4A script manually each boot:
Code:
su -c "setprop service.iq.active 0"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity"
The setprop will shut down the iqmsd process. After the setprop, the "getprop | grep iq" will show that it is disabled:
[service.iq.active]: [0]
[init.svc.iqmsd]: [stopped]
The other commands will disable most (if not all) of the intents that cause the "android.iqd" process to run. You should be able to verify this with a "ps | grep iq" call.
I just edited my /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file and added the following lines at the end:
Code:
setprop service.iq.active 0
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity
Doing this resulted in no ciq at startup. I looked at framework-res.apk's AndroidManifest.xml in the EK02 rom and there don't seem to be any new activity/receiver/service declarations so this _should_ work with EK02 as well.
This is great--thanks for working on this
I don't know what to say other than thanks for the work OP.

I am way out of my league here but could Script Manager be used if you saved it and set it to run on boot or as root? Edit...I should have read a little better. It started back up BEFORE reboot. Damn

It doesn't start back up for me. After you run the commands, verify that "android.iqd" and iqmsd aren't running via a "ps". Otherwise, something else went wrong.
Since making this post I haven't rebooted and the processes are still gone.
Maybe there is another trigger that needs to be disabled.

Stock frame work has "intents" that check for the service, and restart it. Just disabling it will cause some other things not to work sometimes... or has been known to in the past, thats why k0nane has rooted it out in the framework and released his no-CIQ mod

I am on 2.3.4. I didn't run the mod since I was trying to gain more info about disabling it with just root.

I disabled the activity/service/receivers that respond to these intents, so the intent won't actually do anything. For example, here is an extract of logcat that shows the service not starting:
Code:
D/IQClient(26697): NativeClient init failed: IQ Agent is not running?
Try running all of the commands from a root prompt in adb shell in the order specified to verify they are actually going through.
While this is a cool achievement, an incredible Dev by the name of k0nane has managed to REMOVE CIQ. While this could be useful for a select few, it would be more beneficial to most to simply remove CIQ with his flashable method.
EDIT::: I really don't mean to be a jerk here... I just thought I would point it out.

To elaborate, I wanted to mess around and see what I could find in order to disable CIQ without using a modified jar/apk. There really shouldn't be a reason why we couldn't disable it without resorting to a mod, so I wanted to look into it and see what would be needed.
The only people that would find this useful would be people who don't want to install any modified apk/jar files (unlikely on this forum full of flashaholics), but I also wanted to share the info in case there are phones out there with CIQ and no way to flash a mod. Maybe someone could use this info as a starting point.
Since starting this thread, google's first result when searching for "pm disable IQService" is this thread.

It's more than a "select few" and for us it's not as simple as using the flashable mod. Ever heard of EK02? ANYBODY, I'll say again, ANYBODY that's running the EK02 ROM cannot flash k0nane's mod. Until someone edits it out and releases an updated mod, we're SOL.
Short version: You're very wrong and this could be highly beneficial. If we could get this into a file to put in the init.d folder or make a .sh script that will automatically run every 'x' amount of minutes or seconds (whenever CIQ restarts).

That's what I was thinking. If someone smarter than I can figure out how often it starts up then someone can possibly write a script to counteract it. Thanks to those who know tons more than I do about this
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I understand what everyone is saying completely. I just thought it would be beneficial for anyone new to know that this isn't the only method, seeing as how this, being new and recently posted on, shows up at the top of the list. And since CIQ is a hot thing right now, I just wanted to point it out. I mean absolutely no disrespect here, and I can see where this is useful. I just wanted to mention it. I should have been a bit clearer with what I was trying to say. My apologies.
It may be a process that gets restarted remotely as well. Just because it never restarted for you doesn't mean that it can't. I love when singular personal experiences are supposed to represent the universal norm. Why leave something dormant for no reason? I'm still confused by the principle of this thread.

need help restoring stock browser

hello
first of all I did search, but couldn't find anything that would help, sorry if I didn't search well enough
for the past few days, everytime I turned my phone off or it died on me, after turning it back on, the browser would disappear. id click on a saved bookmark on my homescreen and it would say "application not installed". usually I just go to my titanium backup and restore it. but today I went to restore it, and it wont restore. the TB app just stays stuck saying "restoring app+data". I tried changing the app processing preference, but still the same. TB had also been doing this with the google play store(not the new 4, haven't gotten that yet), but usually if I just turned the phone off even while it was still stuck on restoring, when back on the play store would now be installed. Not so with the browser
is there any way I can get this to work? and if not, can someone please help me get the latest stock browser apk for the gnex gsm? I think its version 4.2.2-573038
Thanks!!
btw, im on rooted 4.2.2 but no custom roms, just "stock" root

a little bit of both lol. Really though I did search, primarily for a solution to the TB problem not so much the apk.
Thanks for the link though!
Do you know why TB might be doing this though?
As for Chrome, in my experience its complete crap compared to the stock browser. if at least they had transferred over the quick buttons it'd be better, but they didn't even do that
EDIT: ok that didn't work. after clicking install says app not installed
I understand, I don't like Chrome either xP
Hopefully that works.

Take that apk, put it in system/app/, change permissions to match all the others in there and reboot. Delete the original one in that folder first if you like, otherwise, just overwrite it. I use root explorer to do this sort of stuff but I'm sure others can do it too.

That didn't work either. Thanks though. My backup on TB says "Browser 4.2.2-573038". Maybe I need that specific version?

How did that not work? Did you reboot and then it just didnt show up in your app drawer? Or does it force close? Or what?

Yeah I did. Also tried doing a batch backup with titanium... and even tried restoring different backups.. seems like titanium isn't working at all. and I still cant find that browser 4.2.2-573038 apk
oh wait, nevermind I guess its the same one you guys posted. well this sucks even more now cause as already mentioned that's not working either. I don't know what else to try
I have no idea then. Thats usually how you install system apps. So I guess search around for other browser apks and try them the same way. I dont know why that wouldnt work.

Maybe try wiping cache and dalvik afterwards just in case, so it scans all the apps again when booting up.

Because it seemed to me that AOSP browser disappeared from your app drawer. Anyways, stock aosp browser has a severe security flaw. Google it.
Edit: nvm, here it is.

If there are more odex files in /system/app, then I believe so.

Debloater, Lets remove all that Bloatware..

Just getting the word out to everyone. This works without root and makes it super easy for you to remove any Bloatware you would like and fully control it.

Thank you Sir! :highfive:

Your welcome.
Already discussed in a previous thread. It only allows blocking the Apps. Absolute removal of Apps require Root.

That's a big deal to a lot of people though. For a lot of people who do not have root and are on KitKat, they can completely block packages on their phone that they otherwise could not. Sure, they allow you to block / disable certain ones on the phone itself, but not anything. This allows them to block any package, Knox included. And sure they could download a script, modify it for their purposes and create another script to unblock and so on and so on. But this maintains nothing and interacts with their device directly. Nothing to maintain and nothing to edit, etc. etc..
Anybody got a list of app that's safe to block. Don't want to cause an endless boot.
here's my complete script I have handy, after testing things and trying a few things without success, my phone many times would automatically erase all data and do a factory reset in the end of my failed experiments. Either that or I'd have to resort to that Odin package someone posted on here to flash back to stock. I think I've flashed my phone using that Odin package around 12 times now after downgrading from the forced updated NK3 back to original. I immediately run this script after enabling Developer options and enabling USB Debugging.
Just right click on the script and Run As Administrator on Vista,Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10.
**Make sure to have the 3 required Adb files to run Adb to communicate with device. I attached those 3 main files which you can extract to c:\windows\system32. This way you can run adb commands from any location on the computer since System32 is included in the environment variables for the OS

Jump on the forum thread, I have built in export and import of blocked packages support built in, someone will give you a list.
I Thank you Sir ... that is a nice, clean app that's works well, but I do have one suggestion for an improvement if you are open to it.
I like the fact that it has a filter function, but the filter only works on the name in the apk name, not the package name. It would be really sweet if it would search both areas. :good:

I used it and liked it, I agree with that idea and I'd also like to be able to not have to reload packages after I'm done with the filter, good all around program though.

You can uncheck the filter and it will display the full list again and it will keep your changes you made during filter.

3.5 just released
Version 3.7 is out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
broken 4 lollipop 5.01
not working, error dialog attached.
I figured if SD was writable and debloater cleared out the junk I could live without root with the update. I know I can disable some of the apps from the launcher, but there are / were some under 4.4.4 that only debloater could take care of for me. Unable to do that under 5.01.

[Q] permission pop-up issue?

Is anyone else getting a constant "permissions pop-up" that states something along the lines of 'blah blah controls phone dialing' then it gives you the 15 second choice of denying the app or allowing it (with the option of never showing that message again....which doesn't work). It comes up every 5 seconds and is making the phone a joke to use. There was a fix for the ZenFone 5 and I was wondering if there is one for the the 2 as well.

It happens with whatsapp, Facebook, Asus help (which can't be deleted). Earliest record of someone expressing this same issue was over a month ago. I was hoping there had been a fix that may help me.
Sorry, can't help as I haven't experienced this issue.
Maybe someone else out there who hasn't read/responded yet....
If you are rooted you could try the 'fix permissions' app available on playstore.
No guarantees it will work as i have not used it on this device. It had worked well for me on other devices.

This is interesting! I'll look into this throughout the weekend and post back if I have any success!
Same issue & really annoying.
Hi guys I think here is the issue is described in asus forums zentalk ( i cant post links yet) search for "Permission popup every second"
Apparently a firmware upgrade will fix it
Firmware download WW_2.15.40.13 and above should fix it.
But i have tried to copy the new firmware to the root directory but its not picking it up .
Very frustrating for what looks to be a good phone !

You can flash the firmware yourself with ADB though most img files are rooted...
