[Q] Removing a r/o system app - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am trying to remove the SPG.apk (I believe that's Verizon's tether block application) from a stock rom that is already installed on my phone. I tried using root explorer however it won't let me. I believe there is a way to use adb to do this? If so, what would the command lines be?

use
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>

To delete anything off the /system partition in root explorer, you need to mount the it r/w first. There is a button on the top that should say "Mount R/W". You need to press that before deleting anything.

Root Explorer will let you remove anything you want.
Provided you click the Mount R/W button in the top right first.....

Are you rooted?

He's gotta be if he's running root explorer. It won't run if you don't have root.

Def rooted, however removing the app I listed below just messed things up. Anybody know how to remove the Verizon tether block without installing a custom rom

I wasn't sure if root explorer would function as a normal file manager without root. Especially considering he said he is running s stock rom.

Nope. It won't run without root. The developer has another file explorer called "Explorer" as opposed to "Root Explorer", and that one runs without root.

how are you trying to edit those files?
the phone is rooted, but it doesn't mean it sudo every single app you run. plus if i'm not mistaken, / is mounted as read-only. you'll need to remount it as r/w
i' ve tried with andexplorer (downloaded from market) and root explorer. trying to edit build.prop file

Rooted but superuser permission denied

I recently restored my data and now I'm seeing that anyway to fix this ?
Sent from my OTR pumpkin patch
What action gave you permission denied?
Having Superuser in the app drawer doesn't mean you are rooted. It maintains a database of who is allowed root permissions. The real root is implemented by the su binary in /system/xbin or /system/bin. Maybe that got reset or removed when you restored.
If you are running EG30, EG31, EK02, then re-run Option A in the Auto Root package.
How does one run this auto root package? Or do u mean just re root using a pc again?

It is in the first few sticky posts of the development section. It is also in my signature, but you might not be able to see that if you are using a mobile app for the forum.

Use Android terminal and type "su". See if it asks you for permissions (or changes the prompt to #). That will tell you if the problem is with su or something else.

Rooted but no permissions
Hi, all,
I have a similar problem. I've got an original Droid rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 (at least when I run SOC, it says I'm rooted). I have installed Wireless Tethering and AdFree and when I try to start either of them, they are denied superuser permissions. I reran SuperOneClick and tried the Allow Non Market Apps button, but shell is denied permissions when I try that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
I had that problem over the weekend trying a experimental kernel but once I flash a different kernel the problem went away. I'm using rogue kernel right now it's pretty sweet too. What kernel are you running?
From the official iPhone killer.
I haven't flashed any rom. I just wanted the ability to use non-market apps.
Kernel is listed as 2.6.32.9-g68eeef5 [email protected] #1
You may have to uninstall and start over. Did you use the Odin method?
From the official iPhone killer.
Thanks for the response. I'm afraid I have done that. I don't know the odin method, so pretty sure I didn't do that. I used superoneclick, following instructions here. (And the thing is, all was well until a few weeks ago; phone was rooted and I was able to tether wirelessly. This is a VZW phone, and I remember reading something about them limiting tethering ability. But I don't know why that would make superuser refuse all permissions.) One thing I notice is that there is reference to gingerbreak exploit in superoneclick description, but I don't see that exploit when I use superoneclick. The file doesn't show up in the exploits folder, either. (I have turned off antivirus for this.) Might that be it?
Fwiw, I found a fix for this: Install SuperOneClick v 1.7 with rageagainstthecage option checked. Did that, then ran the non-market apps box, reinstalled wireless tether, then restarted. Phone is rooted again and wireless tether works!
adb shell su mount : permission denied
to enter into su,
install superuser on your mobile, keep your screen unlock.
adb shell,
then type su
$ wil chenge to #
now do the superuser commands on command prompt

If you have a custom recovery, you can flash supersu.zip then reboot and have root.
I'll find the zip and link you to it.

Rooted and using CM9 but adb shell su doesn't work?

I triy to type "adb shell" in cmd which works but upon typing "su", it throws me a: "permission denied" and on the screen it says: "shell has been denied Superuser permissions.
In the superuser app, there is no record of ever accepting or denying "shell" and clearing Superuser's apk data doesn't help. Everything else related to root works besides giving adb root permissions.
What to do? In some other forum, someone said it was kernel related?
You need to go to settings then developers options and enable root access to adb.

Not running CM9 anymore, though, but I have no such option? I'm running stock.

Stock rom does not come rooted, so having that option under stock settings menu wouldnt make any sense.
And you still remember that you opened this because of a feature of cm9, that you were not familiar with at the time?

Well obviously I have rooted my phone and now when I tried that command again (for like the 30th time) it magically worked.
I don't know why, though. "Shell" couldn't seem to get superuser permissions when everything else that required root worked perfectly?
If youre talking about stock, Kernel/boot.img is secure
But it should work.

It works for me. You'll get an error and pop-up window if the intended directory is mounted as read only, just remount r/w and make sure root explorer has root permissions, and it works fine. I use only root explorer, and can absolutely guarantee it works to do this operation, as I started doing the same thing when titanium was unable to convert to system app on 5.1.1.
A click on thanks is always appreciated.

If you're running encrypted, that's the issue. Otherwise, try cutting and pasting. You said before you copied, copy won't work, you can't have the same file in two different app groups at the same time.

I doubt it's the boot .img, depends which ROM you're using I guess, I think it's a permissions issue with root explorer. As I said, I've never seen that operation fail on my device outside of r/o, it works fine for me on flo and four other devices on 5.1.1 ROMs.

Brawl Stars not working on rooted device

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. And it's running a ROM called Mokee open source project. And it's pretty good and I wish to play Brawl stars but I can't because of root. I tried various methods to unroot it like using Super SU and then uninstalling stuff like that, but it still doesn't work. So I was wodering if there was a way to make it so Brawl stars doesn't detect root? Or a way to unroot? And also what happens if I delete the su file in the xbin for the ROM zip and installed it? Would that get rid of root? help plzzzz

How do you make it so that apps don't detect Magisk? I tried magisk hide but doens't work.
and also is there and app that can disable the app from recognizing root? I went inside the app xml file and there was this permission command read phone status.
