Guest buckleheid Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 think its this way? try this,settings,applications,manage applications,scroll thru to the ones you want to remove,not sure tho so dont do it until someone can confirm this is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pritsey Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I can't delete the stock Voda crapps that way. I have SuperSU now, but no apps showing there - is this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 You need a root browser. Apps installed in system can't be deleted as you would a normal app. I use Rom Toolbox. There is an app list built in and you should be able to delete from there. Please respect the power that a root browser gives you and don't change what you don't know and don't delete if your not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buckleheid Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 cheers for the tip,im only be trying to delete the vodafone stuff,but not all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Use the built in app manager in Rom Toolbox then scroll to the right to see all apps. You can just click the app from there and get a quick menu or long press for much more options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kaizoku_san Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Mine took two attempts but this is what i done. phone off pull usb cable pull battery wait few seconds install battery holding down "volume down" turn phone on, phone vibrates let buttons go. Huawei logo should be on screen if yes insert usb cable. windows detects phone and installs drivers (or something I am no expert). lol can you tell. double click the bat file and a command windows appears and magic happens and the command window disappears. I got no prompt about going into recovery mode, it may have been in the command window but it disappeared to fast. once the command window disappeared i done the following. Pulled the battery pulled the usb cable waited a few seconds installed battery hold down "volume up" and turned phone on, once phone vibrates let buttons go. you should be at the recovery screen ( i was not the first time) reboot device should already be highlighted press power button to select reboot phone reboots and look in app drawer for SU and that should be you. hope this helps. thank you so much for this. i didnt read paul's instructions properly, and after spending a long time unlocking a sensation, i kept on pressing the DOWN volume button to go into bootloader. only when i went through your post did i read that i should press the UP volume button after the .bat file did its thing (which i expected for it to show me something like the sensation root...."...beer beer.... etc...."!!!) now rooted :) :) gonna look around for a better rom than the stock version :) Edited June 1, 2012 by kaizoku_san Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cartoone Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Just out of Technical curiosity.. ( to know the reason why the phone is not getting unlocked even after rooting..) When you root a device, i thought we are bringing the system to its barebones and putting the original firmware (please correct I'm wrong) Then why is it not unlocking the carrier? ( Are they doing the sim lock at a much hardware level?) Edited June 15, 2012 by cartoone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smiff2 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 no, rooting just means gaining root access on a linux system. this basically just means installing SU (superuser) which appears like another app in the app drawer and allows other apps root permissions.. nothing to do with carrier locking or changing ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smiff2 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) yeah that wasn't a great explanation sorry.. "root" is like "administrator" in Windows - permission to write anywhere in the file system. a normal user can only read the \system partition for example, root can read and write. you need root access before you can change roms and use some apps. you do not need root access to unlock a phone, you need an unlock code :) Edited June 15, 2012 by Smiff2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pear of Anguish Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hi folks First thanks for the guide, this has been my first attempt at rooting or generally doing anything to a phone and for the most part I think I've succeeded! However... I've had no obvious issues following this but I'm just at a wall now. I think the device is rooted as in no problems downloading the file to PC and got through the installation process and rebooting on the android screen. Phone is now on and I'm just wondering what to do now. I've had a look through the app pages and unable to find anything named SU. Guessng I just need to find this and activate it now? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BGRT Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Nice one ! Got my G300 yesterday afternoon and was only looking (at least for now !) for a way to remove the demos... done ! Now waiting for that unlock code but it seems the Ebay vendor I chose doesn't 'process' at the weekend... ah well, at least I can still connect through wifi :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smiff2 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) best way is to just try an app that needs root e.g. Titanium Backup or AdAway - you should be prompted by SU to give it root permissions. if not, those apps will complain and you aren't rooted :) Edited June 16, 2012 by Smiff2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest derei Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) I have no idea why, but pressing Volume-Down button, while powering-up my phone, doesn't grant that HUAWEI logo stays on screen... it stays for several seconds, then continues to load all stuff, and phone is up as normally. Any suggestions? I tried a lot of times, the vol-down button is working properly, have no idea what's going on... LATER EDIT: I had to press Vol-Down longer than Power btn (another 3-5 sec, after releasing Pwr btn) and that did the job. Same for recovery screen.

Guest Pia23 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Thanks for this i've just rooted with no problems. A question though, i've literally just taken delivery of the phone and am waiting for my unlock code from ebay. I read i need to update the firmware due to a speaker problem or something? How do i do this, can anyone link me to noob-friendly instructions? Will this undo my root? I'm not bothered about changing roms. (as i don't know how to) Edited June 20, 2012 by Pia23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eirlysbill1 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) here you go: http://www.modaco.co...-and-i-cant-do/ Someone else will know better than me, I'm not 100%, but I think you would have to re-root. You'll know if, you install the B866 (edit: B886, sorry) update and then look in your app tray. If SuperSU is there, you're still rooted.
