[NON-ROOT][Tool] Debloat U11 with ADB (Oreo 8.0.0 — 2.33) - HTC U11 Guides, News, & Discussion

Guide
Debloat U11 with ADB
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
​
First of all it should be mentioned that in the worst case your device has to be reset to factory settings. All the bloatware you will "remove" will still remain on the device. So it's not about freeing up storage, but about hiding unwanted functionality, potentially increasing battery life, and freeing up some memory. However, to completely remove pre-installed software from your device, you must have root privileges. I personally advise against "rooting" a new device that will still receive security updates for some time. In most cases the process of acquiring root privileges, or at least the subsequent operations on the device, will lead to a loss of warranty. But that is only my opinion. I am not aware of any case in which the use of ADB with user rights led to a loss of warranty.

Requirements
- Windows computer
- U11 device with USB debugging enabled (Developer settings)
Instructions
1. Unpack the zip file (attached below)
2. Optional: Edit the debloat_list.sh Inside "files" folder only if needed then save .. (Read the notes section for more details)
3. Run run-me.bat
4. Done!
Notes
- debloat_list.sh (inside files folder) : Commented out lines (starting with #) will be ignored (their respective apps will not be unistalled) , Use Notepad++ in editing
- Debloat script does not remove apps containers (apk files)
- Updated Apps: They'll need to be uninstalled manually (Settings > Apps > "APP" > Uninstall)
- First reboot may take a while
- How to restore ? Uninstalled system apps should be reinstalled by doing a factory reset (I haven't tested)
Warning!!
Code:
-Default Keyboard app
-Stock Messages app
-Sock Contacts
-Stock Clock
All these apps and many more are being removed if they are important for you, again .. just comment the the app uninstall line with "#" in the debloat_list.sh file and it will be ignored .
Check the alternative apps section below if you still want to remove the stock apps
Alternatives (Recommended Apps)
Download as normal apps from the play store, if not available .. google them ..hint apkmirror
Touchpal Keyboard => Gboard
Contacts APP => Google Contacts
SMS APP => Google Messages
Clock => Google Clock
Calculator => Google Calculator
Chrome => Kiwi Browser
YouTube => iYTBP Vanced Youtube (Non-ROOT)
Launcher (Sense Launcher is not removed) ==> Highly recommend this Pixel 2 Launcher Port
Want Google Dialer? (Experimental)
This one is working for me
After installing the app configure it as default from app settings
To remove stock Phone app uncoment line n=93 from debloat script

Why, what happens when you query your phone for them via adb?
adb shell pm list packages

Does anyone have a debloat list available? I have seen these for other devices - list of safe apk's to remove with root. Wondering if there is one for this device.

Protected apps don't get installed correctly

I'm running JF ADP1.5 and followed these instructions to get my apps to SD. For normal apps this works fine, but as far as I can tell protected apps (such as Abduction World Attack or Calorie Counter) get messed up. Installation seems to be working fine, but the apps have no icons, are called au.com.phil.abduction (or similar names) and forceclose on startup.
I don't believe I did something wrong with the apps2sd process, the symlinks are looking good:
Code:
# ls -al /data

Does anyone here have a clue what's going wrong?
Could be a bad sdcard because I'm running that same exact paid app with no problem.
Try to reformat SD card, I've had some problems with my old card this is what I did:
killed all partitions
remake parts, formatted, still problems.
killed all partitions again, made one big part
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdcard1
remake 2 parts
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdcard1
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdcard2
filled it up again.
I had the same problem when I got apps2sd, but wat I did was went to the market and all my paid apps said "update availabe", so I "updated" them even though they were already updated, but yea try that
I was wrecking my head all night cause I had the same problem. I lastly decided to format the old ext2 partition, refilled sdcard and presto, I did my happy dance.
Hi,
Go into apps on your phone and uninstall each paid app.
Then go to the market and reinstall.
They should work fine now.
That fixed this problem for me.

After I did the update I had a similar problem. I would install apps but no icons would appear. They would show up in settings as installed and I could uninstall them but no matter what I tried the icons would not show up. If I tried running them through settings, they would force close or say they weren't installed.
I copied everything off my fat32 partition onto my pc and used the trial version of Paragon Partition Manager to reformat the fat32 and ext2 partitions. Once reformatted, I used Lucidrem's 1.5 update as he had nice simple scripts for the apps2sd stuff. Copied that over to the fat32 partition, put it back into the phone and before applying the update I did a wipe Alt W and then did the update.
After the update I used terminal to enter the scripts (the apps2sd scripts) and started re-installing all my apps. True it was a bit of a pain to start over but the phone has been running great with virtually zero problems. Apps that were giving problems are running fine now.
The update over 1.42 or 1.43 seems to cause this for some of us. Who knows why it happens but it does. One advantage to "re-doing" everything is that you can get rid of all those apps that you never use anyway. Trying to figure out why your having the problem will probably take longer than simply starting from scratch.
Good Luck!
I finally got around to doing this. Pulled the app/ directory from the ext2 partition, first reformatted the whole sd card to one big partition (probably unnecessary but wth), then back to ext2/fat32 and cp -p'd the app/ dir back. All seems to work great now, and no need for a wipe! Thanks guys!

Unable to Haz Root (log attached)

I got a new x10 from Best Buy Mobile as a loaner phone, running 1.6 on AT&T fresh out of the box. followed the ATT thread to go to 2.1 using flash tool.
I have tried nearly everything to root it, flash tool tells me phone should be rooted after reboot, it isnt, X10root.apk fails, superoneclick fails (maybe adb related & not sure why.. had adb path set up properly and shows device id, but says protocol error?), z4root doesnt even get temp root.
Im on generic 2.1 x10a , this wall all done on my win 7 64 bit laptop. I will try via adb on my computer at work running win xp later today, but the root .apks should have rooted, I dont understand why.
I will post a log for you guys to check out, Im not a n00b, but not an expert either.
I may have the phone for a week or a month, while my other LCD is repaired.
Thanks everyone!
Go for root !

I just want to flash a gingerbread ROM of course, but I will need xrecovery right? which isnt installing without root.
Unless its possible for me to flash a new rooted rom without xrecovery, I uppose that will work although it might be dangerous.
I'll post back as soon as I can.
use the latest version of superoneclick and make sure you have USB debugging enabled
if you have rooted with flash tool you do not need to do anything else it will be rooted you dont need x10root or other one click apk apps as flash tool rooted your phone
test it with a tool that requires root such as adfree or terminal emulator
flash tool says success with root, but its not rooted, as i cant install busybox, says not rooted and entering su in terminal says permission denied
please help!

try using SuperOneClick here
failing that use SuperOneClickv1.5.5 here
i already tried the newest SOC, no dice.
ill try the older one too.
I think it may have to do with the drivers, it looks like regular drivers dont work, Im installing the SE developer ones.
but that doesnt really explain why z4root didnt work, and universal androot fails too.
thanks guys. this is killing me.

what firmware are you using on your phone(under about phone) !?
and try the 1.5.5 version make sure when you run it you have USB debugging enabled! (under settings /applications/development ) you may also want to make sure you have UNKNOWN SOURCES checked!
z4 and universal will no longer work after the first version of 2.1! so dont bother with those!
you could also try the root tool that comes with the lastest flashtool
make sure when you root you choose 'connect phone' and not mount for usb storage mode!

this is beginning to p1ss me off, I think it must be a driver/adb issue, i did the fix for 64 bit, and now Im on xp and still cant connect to daemon when i say adb devices in cmd. I have the latests drivers, maybe i need to install older ones, maybe these have security?
also what are the signfiles.bat ,etc on my sdcard, they look SE signing tools , like they verify signature, etc.
also tried downloading the new rooting method for 2.1, rootme.tar, but server is unavailable.
yahhhhh! this is nuts!
adb kill-server and start-server work, so I know my adb is ok, I have android sdk installed. path>adb devices **daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon, so it has to be the phone or the drivers Im guessing. arrghhh!
i have tried different usb ports, still nothing!
Best way to root, install Xrecovery and JIT enable your phone is via Flash Tool. I'm on AT&T too, and found it rather simple.
Follow the guide found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012380
Make sure you have installed java on your computer.
Also, do not mount your SD card. While your phone is on, connect your phone via usb and hit root once your phone is recognized.
I'm not sure if this is necessary for rooting but for flashing purposes you need to connect your phone via pc companion or SEUS. Check to see if you have the latest firmware and set your phone up to flash new firmware. The computer will install flash drivers onto your computer. You don't have to install the latest AT&T firmware if there is one. You just want to have those flash drivers on your PC.
Hope this helps!
ok, so i was trying to follow the AT&T giude from 1.6 -2.1, which says update then root, should I go back to 1.6 and try universalandroot or z4root, root first, then update? or will I lose root when I update? Thanks guys.
installed PC companion update my driver, but still no adb devices cannot connect to daemon, and SOC 1.5.5 failed
I installed SEUS on my other PC too, didnt seem to change much, drivers were the same.
this is crazy, what should i do guys? use pc companion to repair? go back to 1.6 and try rooting then update??
Just use flash tool and press root if you just want to root. You don't have to sideload any apps which is blocked by AT&T anyways.
Update to 2.1 in order to install xrecovery. Once done updating, root it afterwards by pressing the root button on flash tool. No need to go back to 1.6 just to root. Just follow the guide and then you can install any rom you want. The Agent got your back.
Ok, so I re-read your thread. Let me summarize what I know.
1. Flash tool says you have root after your phone rebooted
2. You can not install busybox via flash tool
It might be that your phone is already rooted. If you tried to install busybox or xrecovery through flash tool and have seen that the advanced options are greyed out, it is because you need to press "ask root permissions" and then accept on your phone.
Also check to see if superuser is working correctly, Install Titanium backup to check. Install it from the marketplace open it up. A box should pop up saying "Allow Root Access"?
If so, then you have done it correctly.
I'm not keen with all the coding so I don't know how to read those logs you have noted.
Try pressing root again on flash tool and let it reboot, let me know what you see afterwards.
TYhanks for the help , I appreciate it guys.
im at my home laptop with win7 64 bit and adb devices shows serial number connected. adb push gives me cannot connect to daemon error, and super one click fails. I have busybox and superuser .apks installed from astro but both not "fully" installed without root. I know how to check for root, and I do not have it even when flashtool tells me I should. Really strange. what is going on??
ok, didnt want to do it, but im going to try the old way, with the 3 .bat files, is this a good idea? wish me luck! (if i can find clearer instructions)
cant go to sony ericsson unlock bootlloader online with IMEI, becuase its a loaner and says invalid IMEI... *double facepalm*!
I had those same issues with my 64bit windows 7 too. I think it has to do with Java and how adb tools works better with 32 bit. Troubleshooting your computer and phone might be the way to go.
Make sure on your phone you have usb debugging clicked via Settings>applications>Development. Also, just for the hell of it, click unknown sources.
Make sure on your computer, UAC/User Access Controls is turned off. If you recently installed java, reboot your computer.
After reboot, restart cmd and get into your adb folder. Type adb devices. Should show if you have your phone connected/computer recognizes your phone.

Start over with new download of Flash Tool and 2.1.A.0.435 ftf firmware.
this is terrible!
will try to reflash the 2.1 update again.
relashed fine, without rebooting, ran Root option from flashtool, says should be rooted after reboot, havent rebooted yet, but definetly no root.
F%ck! after flash tool finishes and reboot still zilch! I dont think flashtool is installing superuser, here's a log, man this is awful!

strange.. now i cant seem to get adb devices, with the latest drivers, to show anything.. cant connect to daemon... give me a break.
24 hour bump! hopeless
Hate to say it, but it sounds like a isolated issue. Thousands of people used the flash tool and superoneclick successfully. Are you sure you selected the next tab, "root permissions" after root? You need to do that to install SuperUser and Busybox.
Also, antivirus should be disabled.

Wifi don't work? Flash this! /Persist Repair

Well, many people have problems on the /persist partition, maybe because some bad rom, or maybe because by a mistake you formatted them on a recovery (a bad recovery without forbid partitions).
Before this zip, you have to copy the "WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin" to /persist manually, but some file managers don't mount well /persist.
But now, only flashing this zip, it will copy the file to /persist and Wifi go back to work.

Bro how to flash it ?
I flashed with twrp v3.0
it gave an error at the end. unable to mount something.
wifi is not working on my mot g2013. I have tried 5-6 roms.
Pls help
does it work?
No it dint.
Twrp gave error. Also the file whicg have to copy in that persist folder gets deleted automatically.
This works
OK, this works but not exactly by flashing.
First of all, this file is a WLAN Qualcom driver which is somehow missing after flashing errors.
Step by step:
1. Enable root for ADB in developer settings in your phone
2. Connect your phone with USB
3.
Code:
adb root
4. Now adb will reconnect as root. Enter command above again to make sure it's done (you will receive confirmation)
5. /persist is not accessible by default (read-only) so we must mount it as writable partition
6.
Code:
adb shell
7.
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /persist
8.
Code:
exit
- we are exiting shell now
9.
Code:
adb push WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin /persist/
- we are copying driver to phone
10. OK, drivers are now saved on our phone. Let's remount /persist again to be read only:
11.
Code:
adb shell
12.
Code:
mount -o ro,remount /persist
13.
Code:
exit
14. Reboot your phone
If you have unsufficient permissions or something, try
Code:
chmod 777 /persist
after point 7 and
Code:
chmod 771 /persist
after point 11
Tell me if it works, was ok for me.

Zyzoom Hello, first of all sorry for my poor English, I have a XT1032 with the same problem, after installing TWRP recovery and CM13 Nightly 3.0.0, and was unable to enable Wi-Fi.
I followed your steps, but in step 9 out "Read-only file system", so I resume the steps from 6 (adb shell), then "mount -o rw, remount / persist" I write "chmod 777 / persist" but I back out the error " Read-only file system. "
Would you help me please?

norte112, you need to write commands exactly like I wrote. Do not put space between "/" and "persist" and between "rw," and "remount".
The best is to copy them directly to terminal, I think it's CTRL+INSERT or SHIFT+INSERT on Windows

The commands were copied and pasted as contained in the post directly to cmd, for an error when writing this query, add spaces, but just confirm again (no spaces) and still gives the same error message.

Your "ls -al" displayed nothing, am I right?

I found the problem, after writing the adb shell command, the console brings me the following result: ← 7 ← [r ← [999; ← 999H [6n
I just click on INTRO and I recently enabled the line: ← 8root @ falcon: / #
After that, I entered the commands and could properly install the drivers !!!
Problem solved.
Thank you very much for the support, help and above all, patience.

Well, many people have problems on the /persist partition, maybe because some bad rom, or maybe because by a mistake you formatted them on a recovery (a bad recovery without forbid partitions).
Before this zip, you have to copy the "WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin" to /persist manually, but some file managers don't mount well /persist.
But now, only flashing this zip, it will copy the file to /persist and Wifi go back to work.

Worked perfect with flashify and twrp (copy first to a safe location)
Many thanks!
Didn't work for me
I tried flashing the zip, copying manually in CM file explorer and twrp and adb.
The driver is present in /persist but my Mac is stil 02:00:00:00:00
edit:
it's working after doing this:

My wifi bug is kinda weird.
When I turn on and off my wifi 2-3times,the wifi I connected previously disappear.
Solution is to wipe everything including internal storage to have it working.But still I don't know what's the problem...
I had trouble installing the file no matter how it I flash the wifi did not return to work until I found a solution that apparently functioned normally every time I performed the procedure.
1. Make a full wipe on your smartphone (System / data / cache / dalvik and internal storage) I did the procedure using TWRP 3.0.2-0 on my bike G XT1033
2. Then copy the file persist_repair.zip and some version of CM13 I used (cm 13.0-20160708-NIGHTLY-falcon)
3. After placing the files in the memory of the first flash persist_repair.zip phone and then the CM13 (You can do using the option to install multiple zips the TWRP also the right)
4. Restart your phone and its wifi should resume functioning
Note: I performed the procedure 4 times here and it worked perfectly.
Sorry for the English I used the google translator

I faced same problem after flashed custom rom; searching high and low, tried many method, and finally, bumped this thread, and specifically NoobByn-tek post. I followed exactly what your have done (but with different version CM13 [cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J1-falcon] because could not find the version you used), and multiple flashed with TWRP 3.0.2. With only one attempt, wifi connection is back.:victory:
Big thank you all.:good::good:

Problem after reversing encryption! Help please!

After I tried to get rid of encryption under Android 5 and restoring a backup, I seem to have severe problems with my phone:
I'm on Slimkat Final 9.0 and had to try out encryption under Android 5.0 / CM 12 for an article. So I made a TWRP Backup plus a backup of all files on internal memory (/mnt/shell/emulated/0). Than I flashed CM 12 and successfully enabled encryption. So far so good. I got my screenshots and now I had to get back my running system.
After a few errors I made a factory reset with TWRP which deleted my internal memory as well and I'm sure I got rid of encryption. Restored my TWRP backup and was confronted with a huge problem restoring my internal memory backup. But I finally managed that as well.
What's happening now is, that at least the Google Play Store got a problem. As soon as I try to update an app, the Play Store FCs. Plus I get an error in TWRP about "Unable to locate partion and-sec".
I tried deleting app-data and app-cache as well as restoring the backup again. No dice.
file/folder rights:
Code:

How can I get my system back to how it was?

/mpt directory: what's for?

I have this /mpt dir in root of my D802 running stock KK 4.4.2
here is ls -l output
-rw-rw---- system system 24576 2014-12-26 15:48 MPT_Basic.bdb

As you can see mostly db files, modified more than 1 year ago, bar 'MPT_MainData.db-shm', modified some days ago (attached with txt extension, 40 kb).
I checked .db files with SQL, contain references to stock lg apps, but also whatsapp, SuperSu and few other apps installed by me.
'MPT_MainData.db' is nearly 9 megs in size.
Anyone has this dir too? Do you know what is for? Is it safe to delete?
