I have an ATT 998U with the September 1st security patch. The build is G998USQU4AUI7.
Can anyone tell me how or even if I would be able to flash a ROM without all this ATT crap on it? I'd greatly appreciate any help.
You can just disable whatever apps you don't need

Yeah, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks! It took me a couple minutes to learn to use ADB but it worked perfectly.

Guys, please help.
I'm using an app that does not work with the rooted android.
Is it possible to root and then delete some useless Verizon apps and then unroot a Verizon LG G2?
TIA

What app? You can try installing Xposed and one of the root cloaking modules...

Good for enterprise.
I must not have root and also I don't want to use cloaking apps.
Thanks.

As far as I know, there's no way to unroot once rooted (except going back to stock, but that'll just put the bloat back in). I read quite a bit regarding modding and have never come across it.

Probably gonna have to stick to stock then... You can disable most apps via App Manager...
Thanks.
You can unroot from super su. If you scroll all the way down in the supersu settings It will say complete unroot. You can do that. I've checked it and root went away. Although I didn't modify any files/recovery/kernel or delete anything.
I am contemplating giving up my root to update to 5.1.1. But I need some advice, on what apps I can use to backup and restore all my apps with app data without root. Also, what apps can I use to remove bloatware without root? These are my two main reasons for root. Thanks

There is no app that will remove bloatware without root. As far as backups go, your best bet would be helium backup,

I think your only option would be to go into application manager and just disable the things you don't want to use. However, there is a finite list of apps you can disable.
Without root or screwing around too hard, is there a way to remove or disable the stock Samsung apps? Thx...

they are all fastboot commands, indeed, you reminded me that it would be better to directly add a mini guide for anyone who might need it :fingers-crossed:
Hi, actually I tried your previous post on extreme bloatware removal and ended up with not able to install apks. Even tried side loading via adb. But some required service has been included in your list which caused the apks not installed. I checked with two other devices and same happened. Could you please confirm if it's rectified in this updated one.

Thanks for reporting,
I personally can still install the apks without problems. I didn't need to try adb sideload. otherwise I would not have loaded the list. Anyway I will in these days identify the package involved and make it visible. It was a feature that I personally don't use much based on my configuration. In any case, I repeat, you did well to report it. I will provide to insert it on the thread.

Thanks. btw it's a great debloat list of apps you have. The exact thing I wanted for now since I'm in waiting period to unlock bootloader

Thanks mate, and I give you a little advice about unlocking the bootloader: it gave me an unlock error even though I never unplugged the Mi account from the device and it was all hours past. With the latest version of the MiUnlock it gave me an unlock error despite everything being in order. I solved by installing version 2.2.624.14. I'll tell you just in case :fingers-crossed:
com.xiaomi.providers.appindex* entries should not be removed from Xiaomi phones. These apps are actually the custom skinned "Settings" for Android - removing them will lose access to all settings and will require your device be factory reset. Leave them alone!

After doing this, the calendar is no longer working. I didn't noticed you included the calendar in those commands, why would you do that?

Because as i said, this is a Debloat, i use third party apps for my personal configuration. especially in packages like in this case "calendar"; it is not difficult to guess that doing a debloat eliminates a related service. That's why I always say to make a backup.
Except that removing the calendar provider doesn't allow the google calendar app to work (the play store version, not the one installed by default). It is completely unnecessary to remove it (again, the provider, not the app) and I wouldn't consider it bloatware at all.
I recommend you to use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-adb-fastboot-tools-t3887359
Or visit the saki github https://saki-eu.github.io/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/
It's better and make you easily to debloat or do any adb/fastboot needed. :fingers-crossed:

So I was disabling (not uninstalled) a few apps I didn't use on my rooted S9 with Alexis ROM v1.7 (which was working extremely well).
I do not have Samsung account, and do not use S-Pay (or any payment apps). So I disabled Samsung payment Services" and phone immediately locked, and said "Phone Locked" on lock screen and "payment app was removed without authorization." I could not type in password, no options on lock screen. Tried to dirty re-install of Alexis Rom 1.7, no luck. Had to clean install rom. :/
That's why you should disable instead of removing apps.
what do you do? can you reflash stock rom with odin? or it became a brick?

Should be possible to re-enable via ADB then right?

No idea!
They said they fixed it by clean installing the rom.
Had the same problem. Fixed it by moving all Apps again to their place. Need to find out which of the Apps I'm not allowed to remove.
Samsung is really a pain in the ass!

Yeah, and boy do I wish I'd thought of that. I disabled Payment Services on a Galaxy A70 via Titanium Backup -- poof, instant total lockout. Instead of thinking smart (at least trying adb) I reinstalled the firmware, re-twrp'd, re-rooted, and then the whole setup and apps installs again.
