Need Help with my note 8 Bootloop caused by disabled Packages

Hello Guys...
I Own An Exynos version of Sm-N950F with Latest Oreo Stock firmware version.my USB debugging is enable but OEM unlock button in development menu is not Active.

or "adb shell pm enable --user 11 com.samsung.android.bio.face.service" or some other but every time I will get
Code:
C:\Users\Ali Allameh\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>adb shell pm default-state --user 11 com.samsung.android.themestore
Package com.samsung.android.themestore new state: disabled
I don't know why the New State won't Change.
I'm willing to do ANYTHING just to avoid any data erase and backup my files and photos and videos on my device. even if i have to trip my knox for rooting or installing custom kernel/Recovery.
Please Help me I just need to access my files and stuff on my phone (i have also files on Secure folder too).
p.s: I have read about flashing Home_csc using Odin and I have the latest firmware files too but not sure what is my current csc to avoid Data Erase.

I am not expert or anything. But if you find no answer and No one is able to help you and the only option you have is to lose all data to make the phone work(by reflashing the stock rom), then i would say just download a latest firmware for your model for a country where you bought the phone. and flash it with "HOME CSC" file. And with that i wish you good luck.
i know this post might make you annoy like i shouldn't have posted. and i searched and found nothing if flashing different CSC , format the phone or not as HOME CSC does not format the phone.
if you have time, can you look at this post? someone pointed it to someone who wanted to change csc without wiping data and without rooting device.

You should have backed everything up first, you have disabled things required for your phone to work properly. you should have used something like greenify. For instance, how much battery do you think disabling the cool jazz font was going to save you? Not saying that is the cause of your problem, it just shows you are disabling things without knowing what they do because you think you don't need/want them. A majority of what you have disabled don't even run unless they are specifically called for by the user or a system process, and when they are done android puts them to sleep.

Turn Off Phone manager

Any ideas how to turn off the stock phone manager app.
Fed up with the annoying messages it gives me about power and background apps. Latest thing is it's warning me about fragmentation and it wants to clean up fragmented files!! I did't even know you could get fragmented files on phones?? Anyway not interested.
I've tried a force stop; turning all notifications settings off, removed write access etc but it won' stop.

if ur on root...just remove phone mangaer apk with titalum app

Not rooted, any other ideas?

You can uninstall, or even better, disable and enable Phone Manager with ADB. APK to look for is com.huawei.systemmanager.
Get into ADB Shell and use this commands:
To Disable:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.huawei.systemmanager
To Enable again:
pm enable --user 0 com.huawei.systemmanager
You don't need root.

bear in mind that this disables battery settings

[SOLVED] FindDevice may cause a boot loop?

Hello.
I uninstalled Find Device (pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.finddevice) to avoid its periodic enabling reminders.
However now sometimes "find device has been destroyed" appears as a toast. Also the Security Status in the Settings now crashes.
After finding this message (despite it is other phone model) I'm frightened about a future reboot of my phone. Can my phone really enter in a boot loop the next time I reboot? I have the miui optimization disabled, though.
I have tried to install it back, downloading the 9.0 apk, but it says INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS. Using the "-r" switch also doesn't works ("com.xiaomi.finddevice is a persistent app. Persistent apps are not updateable"). I assume that this is due to haven't erased the app data (uninstalled with -k) but "pm clean" doesn't seems to clean it. I also have tried the -p option for partial installation, but returns a null exception.
Ah, my device is not rooted. MIUI Global 10.2 stable.

I managed to restore the application with the following adb command:
Code:
pm install-existing com.xiaomi.finddevice
It also works with applications uninstalled without "-k 0".
By the way, I used to use "pm disable", but now it seems it is called "pm disable-user".
So, next time I'll preferably use it instead of uninstalling, if works as expected.
Note that it doesn't allows to disable finddevice:
Code:
$ pm disable-user com.xiaomi.finddevice
Package com.xiaomi.finddevice new state: default
The package still continues in default state, unlike when it actually works:
Code:
$ pm disable-user com.miui.player
Package com.miui.player new state: disabled-user

is there a any way to uninstall this application without trouble (without bootloop)?

i have the same question is there a any way to uninstall this application without trouble (without bootloop)?

If it doesn't boot, it's awesome tho.

Without modifying the vendor ROM image there is no way to get rid of it.

[GUIDE] Apps safe to remove

Hello guys.
As you may know, there is a way to uninstall system apps whithout root, as described here. Is a 'generic' guide, so I'll not enter on details on it. I used this guide, and sucessfully debloated my Note 8.
Here is my list:
Code:
android.autoinstalls.config.Xiaomi.ginkgo
com.android.browser
com.android.calendar
com.android.soundrecorder
com.facebook.appmanager
com.facebook.services
com.facebook.system
com.google.android.apps.docs
com.google.android.apps.maps
com.google.android.apps.photos
com.google.android.apps.tachyon
com.google.android.apps.wellbeing
com.google.android.gm
com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
com.google.android.marvin.talkback
com.google.android.music
com.google.android.tts
com.google.android.videos
com.google.ar.lens
com.mi.android.globalminusscreen
com.micredit.in
com.milink.service
com.mipay.wallet.id
com.mipay.wallet.in
com.miui.backup
com.miui.cleanmaster
com.miui.cloudbackup
com.miui.compass
com.miui.notes
com.miui.player
com.miui.screenrecorder
com.miui.userguide
com.miui.videoplayer
com.miui.weather2
com.miui.yellowpage
com.netflix.partner.activation
com.tencent.soter.soterserver
com.xiaomi.midrop
com.xiaomi.payment
com.xiaomi.scanner
Some advices: DO NOT uninstall cloud services if you want to use "Find My Phone". Also, DO NOT uninstall an app if you are unsure about it.
If you want a really clean device, I recommend to turn off your phone, take out the SIM card, turn on again and restore to factory defaults. Then, do the initial setup WITHOUT connecting to any network. By this way, you'll avoid any unwanted app to get updated automatically, PLUS avoinding initial installation of some apps like Facebook and Netflix (by uninstalling android.autoinstalls.config.Xiaomi.ginkgo). I'm using my phone for a week, without problems.
TIP 01: if you want to get the entire list, open an adb prompt on your computer, as described on list bellow, and use the following command:
Code:
adb shell pm list packages > list.txt
. Then, open the file list.txt on notepad.
TIP 02: MIUI isn't good to work with a Google App profile. But, if you need to use it, you need to uninstall the apps for this profile also. Setup you profile, and just after disconnect from any network. Then, go to adb command prompt and type
Code:
adb shell pm list users
. Press ENTER and you will get a list of 'users' on your phone, like:
Code:
Users:
UserInfo{0:Proprietário:13} running
UserInfo{12:security space:13} running
The first number is what you need. Just change the '0' (zero) on the commands for uninstall for the number you get (in case above, 12). A NOTE: for me is 12 because I'm using built-in Second Space feature to handle my work profile (and I recommend you to do the same), so the number for you maybe will be different.
See ya!

very nice list. i'm a bitt scared about removing com.mi.android.globalminusscreen. do you know what it is?

App Vault, it's just used in stock launcher.

what about com.miui.securitycenter?

It's an essential part of Miui system to work, you will get bootloop if you remove it completely (device won't boot).
Anyway this method doesn't remove any app completely so you would need root to achieve it, just the data user is wiped in a way that you no longer can't interact with the app. But with Miui Security Center you will have forced close for some apps and you won't access to some functions in settings.

Thanks! I found a few more "services" that I didn't like in this list.

Removing BLoatware

I found a nice and easy way to get rid of bloatware, WITHOUT root, and using Rakesh's bloatware list.

Have you just gotten a new phone and is it already filled up with a bunch of spooky apps preinstalled? Have you tried long pressing and dragging them up your screen to uninstall? Alas! There isn’t …

But when I try it, I get stuck after installing Java SE Development Kit–and Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, when the software will not recognize my phone. (USB debugging was done)
This is new phone. What else do I need to have, before this will work? Some accounts? A simcard??
Thank You

I guess adb drivers are missing. To installing that. And why don't you use simple adb after installing drivers.
Adb shell
Pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
Pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
Would recommend first one, second retains cache and some data.
Yes it's a less intuitive way, but I prefer this doing everything myself, at least trying to rely on less and less dependencies.
But using adb doesn't free up space, it's more like it just disables app, the only difference is that in both the cases APK is still in system, just don't show up in settings like as it will remain shown when disabled.

Of course it uses ADB......

Thank you for that list.
My problem is different..... I already have a list and I will of course compare it with yours. What I do not have is ACCESS.
The "usual" system, which I found here:
Does not recognize my phone. Probably, because I use no google or any other accounts. So I need to know what is needed to to access the bloatware, no matter what list I use...
