How do you delete the apps that came with the TB...the bloatware?

Thanks

Get Root Explorer from the Market. Then you can go to /system/app and delete what you want.

You might want to consider downloading (purchasing) Titanium Backup.

Rather than DELETING the programs, you can FREEZE them. From what I understand, deleting can cause system problems. If you're going to flash any ROMs, Titanium is invaluable for backing up / restoring all your data.

I'd follow the above guide. Or use the freeze method using Titanium.

Nope your both not completely rooted.

You both need to use the root.exe again, starting with step 2.

with step 2 or start from the beginning.....when I tried step 2....it said device offline...and I had debugging on mmmmmmm

I'm in the same boat, trying it from step one again.

You dont want to do step 1 again if it went through the first time. YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!

Ran step 2 and 3 again and it worked like a charm!!


want to give a big shut out to cnmsales!!!

He helped me alot and if it was up to me....I would vote for him to be a mod in here....

Thanks again CNMSALES!!! you are an asset to the DROID community!!

What firmware are you guys on after rooting?

Mine says 1.02.00.0103_2r

 

[jimmiem]

This worked perfectly. I had to do a few of the steps twice because my phone didn't reboot when it was supposed to, but that was no big deal. I'm now fully rooted and loving it!

 

[geoff5093]

I see that there is firmware version 1.12.605.9, since I'm on 1.02.00.0103 I'm wondering how I can upgrade..

EDIT: Finally was able to root and the firmware was updated to 1.12.605.9.

Wow i redid the whole process and thankfully nothing happened,

So i had to hit the sack last night, should i still resume from step 2? after waiting so long?

 

[cnmsales]

Yes start from step 2

 

[TheTyler0013]

ROOTED WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!

 

[hogowner]

I have 1.12.605.6 not 1.12.605.9.....do I need the other one for anything? If not..I would stay with this one...I am rooted...so I do not think it makes a big difference...

also...if I do need the 605.9...how would I install it

Thanks
