Hey guys,
I am stock rooted on my Note 3. I only rooted to clean up most of the ATT bloatware that was installed; so that's all I've removed.
I can't check software updates. I tap and tap and tap the Software Updates button in the settings and nothing. I've tried restarting the phone and still nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Devices with root access can't check for software updates. Your device status is listed as "custom" once you root it.

Ok thanks. I guess I'll need to find out how to unroot it then. I've been wanting to check for the 4.4 update. I know it hasn't been OTA'd yet, but still want to be able to check.

Download Wanam from the playstore and install it. Also install the xposed framework if you haven't already. In wanam scroll down to "security hacks" and check "fake system status". Reboot and you should be able to check for updates while rooted.

This will also hide the custom padlock in the boot animation.

So I did this, and no go. I still can't check for updates, and the padlock is still there. I have tried disabling/enabling the check box a couple of times. Any other ideas?
Enable the checkmark. Then it may take a few reboots to make it work. (Make sure XPosed is enabled. I forgot that once.)

Ya I did. I will keep trying. The padlock did go away. So the "official" status should allow me to check for updates as well, just to make sure?
You guys apparently have no idea about triangle away...

Yes once the padlock is gone, your status is shown as official and you can check for updates.

Thanks for helping me get this far.
The padlock is now gone, but I still can't check for updates. It's just an empty tap.
You might have "AT&T software update" froze. Unfreeze it if it is.

Pretty sure that's where I screwed myself. I uninstalled all that AT&T crap thinking it was bloatware. Sounds like I'll need to do a restore for a fresh flash of MJ5.

Ahh man that sucks! Looks like your learning your lesson the hard way.
This isn't directed at you, or any one person. But I don't know where you "I deleted bloat and need it now" people learned to delete stuff. BUT STOP DELETING LOL! You must always always always perform a complete app backup FIRST! I highly recommend titanium backup pro. Use it to backup EVERYTHING first. Freeze unwanted apps and use phone for 2 days. If device still works fine then uninstall the app, but keep the backup! A 5 minute backup saves you a 50min restore process.

I do use TB. I just apparently don't know how to use it.
EDIT: Would doing just a factory reset on my phone fix that? Or do I need to download a full ROM?

When you first install Titanium backup pro you'll see a white box with a checkmark thru it on the top right. That's known as "Batch Actions". Within that menu you'll see category's like verify backups, backup, restore, move/integrate etc..... I recommend running "Backup all user apps + system data". The first time running is slow. Now you'll have EVERYthing backed up. Now to freeze an app, use the menu and scroll to desired app. Select it and choose "freeze". Now the frozen app will be highlighted as you scroll the list. Reboot and run the phone a day or 2. If no glitches arise and you need the space, you can "uninstall" the app. Uninstall it by selecting it and choosing "uninstall". After an app is uninstalled the backup you made will be allllll they way down the list with a line thru it. If you find out you need the uninstalled app, click it and select "restore" then choose "app only". If you choose "app+data" glitches can arise. Especially if you restore a backed up 4.3 app to a 4.4.2 rom.
I hope that lil rundown on titanium helps ya. If I am unclear like I have been before, feel free to shoot another question.

A factory reset can sometimes fix issues like this. It all depends on how the item was removed. Frozen apps will be restored. But deleted and blitzed apps don't come back from factory resets. You never know till you try, and it can't hurt to try since your about to reflash back to stock anyway. So give it a shot!

They were uninstalled, so if you are saying it doesn't come back, then I won't waste the time with the Factory Reset. I need to find a guide to flash back to stock. I don't know much about this phone and getting technical with it. I enjoyed it so much just the way it is.

Open your titanium backup, scroll alllll the way down to the bottom of your list and see if you have "Att Software update" with a line thru it. If not and you want to return back to stock follow this thread. Restore for MJ5

Thank you, sir!
The only thing I have at the bottom that have lines through it are AT&T Smart Wi-fi" and "media."
I'll have to follow that thread.
Just out of curiosity, if I took my phone back into an AT&T store and asked them to complete wipe and restore it, do they have a full ROM that they would be putting back on? I wouldn't mind that since I would rather them do it since it's faster. Not much time to mess around with this right now.
A Samsung store should be able to. I'm unsure about an at&t store. Call one by you.
Well I've tried to install big apps like Fifa 15. Well this error keeps popping up.
Eror 905 Could not install application.
Is there a fix for this?
I've read that its related to the Memory Leak in lollipop?
Could someone please tell me how to resolve this.

Yeah I know about this solution (My friend Google..), But I dont get the option of disable updates. The only things are Force Stop and Disable.

Are you rooted? You can try to uninstall and reinstall it. Maybe someone has a flashable zip or you can do it with the help of Aroma gapps.

If you don't want to install/reinstall playstore (for it's a system app) you can try aroma gapps because there you can decide what you want to flash. Uncheck everything you don't need and just flash playstore. Just an idea.
You can also uninstall playstore with titanium and move the new playstore apk to system with a file manager like root explorer.

So I updated to 6.0.1 and rooted the phone. I'm on the stock ROM and tried to debloat programs so I tried removing OneNote through an uninstall app. (I tried installing Titanium Backup but there was an error) So I managed to remove most of the apps I didn't want, except OneNote. Every time I try to uninstall it, my phone reboots and remains on my device. Anyone having this issue? Thanks!
Try with CCleaner or search for a debloater at play store.

Yeah when I try disabling it it asks me if I want to restore the app back to factory default for OneNote. When I hit yes, it reboots. ..does the same thing as me trying to uninstall it all together .. . i think it might be a particular file missing by chance? something must have happened when I rooted the phone. ..

If you are root, I think you can use a file explorer to delete it manually, only do that if you know how, other option could be restoring the firmware, disable all apps you don't want, make root, and uninstall them, I hate that app too. (One more idea, try to make it sleep with greenify and uninstall)
So I did the dumb thing of accidently logging out of snapchat and now when i try to log back in it says, “Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again”. I tried on a phone without X-posed installed and logged in just fine. Is there any way to unistall the framework without having to reset my phone or is a reset the only way to fix the problem?

Thanks for the suggestion, I did end up flashing the uninstaller, but my phone wouldn't boot up after I did that. I went the route of just wiping my phone clean and restoring it from an earlier backup. That did the trick.

Sorry im late here is the link to the thread for the xposed installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758/page1
---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
Btw installing and uninstalling xposed takes time to boot. It takes around 2-5 minutes. Even when you will disable xposed using the xposed installer in the link above it might take atleast 1 min and if u didnt read in the thread you must uninstall the previous xposed installer on your device. Btw its mainly for lollipop and marshmallow. Not sure if it will work on older Android

I'd suggest starting a logcat just before trying to reinstall it then stop it after it won't install. Check the logcat and it will probably have a good indication why it's not reinstalling.
How did you uninstall it? Exactly what did u do?
