Hi all. I am wanting to get rid of a couple of apps I don't use (mainly Amazon MP3 and Work Mail). What I've tried is, while phone is in recovery mode, remount the /system
No Success:
Code:
$ adb remount
remount failed: Invalid argument
I've also tried this as suggested by some other members:
Code:
$ adb shell
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Invalid argument
Yet I'm still unable to see/use /system/app. Is there anyone that might know what's wrong here?

I could totally help you to uninstall these apps by spending a minute and typing up a few commands to allow you to do so.
But I won't, because you neglected to post this in the proper forum.
You will need to know the EXACT name of the apps you want to remove.
Reboot in to recovery
Alt+x
<enter>
#mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system
That will put your system folders in ReadWrite
Pay attention to the space's between
mount and -o
-o and rw
rw and /dev
mmcblk0p2 and /system
You can also use Terminal app
$su
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
I personaly use Root Explorer, its easy.

I'm sorry, I thought this was the correct forum. You don't have to be nasty about it, and you could at least point me in the right direction if you neglect to help otherwise.

Thanks for the help. I was able to successfully mount it using
Code:
#mount -o rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
however, when i then try adb uninstall /system/app/Mail.apk, i get this
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb uninstall /system/app/Mail.apk
/sbin/sh: pm: not found
not sure what this means exactly though. Your help is greatly appreciated, despite what some sour posters may think otherwise.

No, I do have to be nasty about it... there have been way too many people like you around here lately, and it's irritating to say the least. Had you simply opened your eyes and read just the titles of the stickied threads in this very forum, you'd have seen this thread title!
"This is DEVELOPMENT section not General!!!!"
That means, go to General or Q&A to ask your question.
I'll tell you what though... go and start a new thread in the proper forum, and I'll explain step by step how to uninstall these apps.
@uansari
Just answer the damn question and send him on his merry way. Instead of going back and forth arguing like 5 year olds! You took the time to reply twice, if you would of gave him the answer on the first reply it would end there.
Anyways
@ogwilson
Try this after mounted
# rm /system/sd/app/Mail.apk

Thank you, this worked wonderfully.
As for the other guy, I have read that thread over a few times when I first got my phone and I figured that the general questions thread was more for issues that didn't involve tinkering with the phone in these ways. Thats what I thought the development forum was for. And thats all you had to say. So I'm sorry if it wasn't exactly clear the first time, but people like you scare off people who simply are not clear on the exact rules, when the uses of each forum aren't extremely outlined and detailed.
Thanks again for the help Lakers. Is there a way for me to close this thread?

Although he was jerk about it, he is right questions like your do belong in the Q&A. So in the future when in doubt please post in the Q&A.
As for YOU closing this tread, it can't be done. A Mod will move it or close it for you.
Also
You may want to copy and paste the commands on to your pc incase you forget them and you will.

Yea I figured he was right or else he wouldn't have responded so strongly about it. I've acknowledged that and now know for the future that anything that I have a question about must go in Q&A.
And yea every time I get help on an obscure issue that requires obscure commands, I always paste them into a note document and save to my android folder. Now hopefully a mod can move this. Thanks again!

Yes, I am a jerk, but I offered to help... just not in the wrong forum. I see no benefit in encouraging others to continue posting questions in this forum.
Anyway, this thread will be locked soon.
This is why I try not to post anything is this forum, I'm afraid to get chewed out for it.

Lmao!
Yeah some people got bullied in high school or are still being bullied and this is there way of bullying back!
To be safe just post your question in the Q&A and you should be safe. But I'm sure some jerk will tell you that it does not belong there and it belongs in Development or Themes or Apps

No one will ever tell you that, lol... questions belong in the Q&A forum. It's not rocket science kids.
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.
Thanks
Thread Trashed!!
Hello, this is my first post ever. I'm usually very good with phones, but this is my first Android device, and I'm sort of confused about it.
So I just received a stock unlocked Rogers HTC Dream today. I put in my SIM, started the phone, pressed on the little green android, and set up everything. It was going smoothly until I reached Date & time settings. This window pops up:
Sorry!
The application Settings
(process com.android.settings)
has stopped unexpectedly.
Please try again.
So I force close, and that's as far as I get. I'm not sure what to do, or how to make it NOT do this. I can't even make calls on it.
Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated.
you gotta re do it over your self. GO HERE and this should get you set up. good luck. hope the link helps.
Okay, I tried to apply sdcard:update.zip and I got this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
Any ideas? I can't get it to take the original SPL (though it should be stock since its only unlocked).
Also, when I install the RC29, it does nothing. I still get the same error and force close...
UPDATE:
Ugh, after hours upon hours (I'm talking over 12), I figured it out. Apparently I had to update it on Rogers website, but now I'm stuck with a PerfectSPL. BUT. My phone works. Thank the freakin' maker.
Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and thanks in advance for any help I can get.
Given the dates of the threads I've read concerning my problem I'm probably a little late to the ball and you guys are way passed this issue.
I bricked my tp and have followed the steps up to and including starting the novaterm session. When I run the the commands to begin creating a new partion I get hung on the following error "can't remove open logical volume media".
Can anyone help me passed this issue?

Run WebOS doctor to restore webos.
Get and put the appropriate files in webos /cminstall folder.
Get and run ACMEINSTALLER 5 using the appropriate script for the version of android you are installing.
Hello guys, it's the first time that i post in XDA, i don't know if i am in the right place (sorry if no, and sorry for my bad english), but i have a tablet RK3066 (DL tablet 3003) (at least is what cup-id say) and i have recently flashed it to stock firmware, before, i had root acess in it, i don't remember how i did it at the first time, but i was with serious problems to do it.
Ok, now, after i flashed it, and try to root again, i tryed to use Kingoroot via pc, and it says "root success", but Supersu.apk don't update the binary and even if i tap cancel update, the app that need root permission don't is prompted and can't get permission.
Ok, you can say, so, you haven't root installed, try another way!
But, how can i do not have root installed if, even with this things, in adb i have all the permission?!
And the most curious, i know if you will use adb shell it will return a line with this $, and then you type "su" to it turn into #, but here no! When i use adb shell it comes already with a #, to be more especific, it comes like this "[email protected]:/ # ".
So, i don't know more what can i do cause i have root acess via adb, but Supersu.apk don't update binary and don't prompt to permissions.
I have a custom CWM for RK3066 generic from androidtab, but with some erros to mount some folders like sdcard, system...
If someone know how to fix this i will be thankful.
I was thinking about a way to change apk permissions via adb, someone can say to me how can i grant permissions to apk via adb commands?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english, i am brazilian that never studied in a english school, and sorry if i am in the wrong place for this!
PS01: I already try to unroot but without success, any way, i can unnistall and install supersu any time but no work, can't update binary.
PS02: I have this issue too via cwm:
HTML:
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
If can help you, i am posting the cache/recovery/last_log files pulled via adb. and a SS of the adb shell in #.
I already try to use TWRP but the touch is with some issues in this recovery mode!
PS03: I used KingoRoot to root it again, then, it installed KingoUser(to grant permissions, it is working), but i want to use Supersu, and Supersu cannot update binary.
If you're running Android > 4.2, you may try the solution in the attachement. If you're running Windows, and if your Android system is 32 bit, just (double) click on the *-32.bat file.

The kingroot stuff puzzled me to the point that I started to play with it. I quickly found out that it was difficult to remove. I could do it with a few scripts in the attachement. The key point is removing file attributes. I look forward to hear of success or failure with details.
