Does the new Amazon UI update effect anything in the OS? (5.2.7.7 - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have OS 5.2.7.7 because im dumb and updated when i didnt know anything about rooting/custom launchers/adb etc. Now i know a bit, and im just wondering if this update that now is trying to OTA on my 2nd gen box will ruin anything further or is it strcly UI update? Or is amazon going to sneak some stuff in to break things again? I am already on a ****ing **** firmware and stuck with what i got so I dont want to further ruin this and update.
Also, still searching for a way to block oTA on OS5 via adb. If anyone knows how let me know but ill be searching the net for a way as we speak.

adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.tv.forcedotaupdater.v2"
adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota"
adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override"
With root:
adb shell reboot recovery
adb shell "mount -o rw /system"
adb shell "mv /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip //system/etc/security/old.otacerts.zip.old"
If you want to do a Factory reset , first you must move old.otacerts.zip.old back to otacerts.zip.
If you forgot that you can't pass initial Setup after reset.

thank you. Does the new UI come to OS5? Specially 5.2.7.7?

This didn’t work for me. Using adbLink on Windows 10 with 5.2.7.7 firmware. The ADB gave me an error.
Also, Amazon just released an OTA update called Components just yesterday. Do you know anything about it? Does it break anything? Can I still root?
And anyway, this point, does it even matter anymore? I’m already updated to every single latest update available on my Sloan box 2nd gen. I can’t do much root wise and I’m stuck with a bull**** rom and Home Screen. Can’t even add a custom launcher as Amazon also broke this with their firmware updates...

Pm disable commands are blocked vy Amazon with 5.2.7.7.
Since 5.2.7.7 you need Root .

Mate like the phone dialer you have on your S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8+, S9+, NOTE 8, NOTE 9, to make phone calls like a regular smartphone. The TAB S4 has a full on phone support. Samsung has been offering phone functionality since the Tab 7.7 AMOLED inch days (1 March 2012) Sounds like you been only playing with the non LTE Models?
it was all fine until i copied and pasted the terminal codes :crying: As i can’t think of anything else that would break the dialer? Thanks
UPDATE! See pic i have attached, look at bottom row 2nd icon from left side. Do you see the phone dialer icon? That’s been disabled!

I haven't removed any phone packages, the only thing I can imagine is how you say the Contacts apps. If it is, you can restore it with :
Code:
adb shell su -c pm enable com.samsung.android.contacts
Like all other packages of course
P.S. I already had an LTE version with a sim card, but there was no phone function available. Maybe it depends on the provider.
From what i have found out adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.contacts it has disabled conatacts everytime i SU in terminal then paste adb shell su -c pm enable com.samsung.android.contacts it is not found! Does anyone know if that's the right command I’m typing to enable it? As i am guessing did Google it can’t really find any straight forward guides

Yeah maybe your carrier disable it, not sure laws in your region. why not flash BTU unbranded firmware you will have full phone features
I can confirm, my Verizon S4 had no phone app. But my Korean version has phone and messages app
Also, I've disabled contacts app in the past on Samsung phones and that turned off my phone app..maybe the same here.

I just tried disable/enable contacts on my device and that caused the phone to disappear / reappear, so pretty sure that is the cause.
Maybe try checking titanium backup if you can see it there? I always freeze my bloat with titanium because you can freeze and unfreeze easily with a click anytime.
If not maybe try to download the stock one https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-contacts/

Disable Android Automatic Updates

Is there a way to disable automatic updates and notifications to update on my NVIDIA Shield?
Unlock bootloader. It's easy.
Another way is to disable notification for that app/service. Just dig into settings/apps...
There isnt a adb cmd to disable the updater?
I got this from samsung unlock bootloader telegram chat room and worked on my samsung device, would it work on nvidia shield tv pro?
Code:
Disable android updates adb
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.sdm
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer

Thanks, I guessed as much. I also wanted to remove all sprint apps since I don't use them.
I will edit the post to reflect what you said.
do the commands above have to be done with adb or can they also be done with a terminal app from play store?
if it can be done from a terminal app what would be the command to uninstall?
what if we want to reinstall after we uninstall?
does a factory data reset put those apk's back to the installed state?

It can only be done with adb on a computer. Yes, a reset will restore all original apps.

It works perfectly for me in Sweden. I don't care about 5G so I never bothered to test it. If you care about installing TWRP and rooting, you would probably be better off, buying the Korean version. I would have bought it if I had seen it before buying the Sprint version since I may want to install custom ROM(at least GSI) in the future. Right now, I am very satisfied with my Sprint version though.

my lg v50 is the sprint version that i did install the latest samsung unlocked G965U1UES8ETI1_G965U1OYM8ETI1_TMK.zip firmware.
i also did the factory data reset and also did the wipe data and cache partitions from the stock recovery of the firmware mentioned above.
i currently have tmobile service and when ever i power off phone and boot up i still get that dang activation notice for about 60 seconds or so.
why is it doing this if i am on the samsung stock unlocked firmware?
do i have sprint bloat somewhere on my phone still after i flashed the stock samsung unlocked firmware?
that dont make no sense.
btw i have not ran any adb commands above after i have flashed this firmware.
Bloatware is autoinstalling from oem\OP partition after every hard reset.
But wait, you have installed Samsung FW on LG phone?? How on Earth you did that?
They definitely did not lmfao

Thanks! My sprint v50 now feels like a stock phone
Hello Everybody...Regarding the branding from US carriers of the phone.
I would like to mention my experience.
I purchased a Sprint branded phone,unlocked to GSM,brand new,,,to be used in Mexico.
The phone came complete with all accessories and manual in the sprint branded gray box.
Using ADB instructions provided above,(thanks a Lot to
lallolu)​i removed the activation message from Sprint as well the other bloatware.
The only thing left was the annoying Sprint logo and music at boot .
I was not confident to root the phone ,TRWP,etc.so i decided to reset the phone , one time
I proceed to enter Recovery , USING THE KEYS, not Android software .
Took me a few attempts, to finally reach the menu ,once there I reset,TWICE, without restarting the phone..and VOILA!!!...at restart I was presented with the RED logo of LG and the introductory melody from Life is Good...
It has been like that after several restarts, i turn off my phone at night.
The wallpapers from Sprint still there , but i changed to the ones of my liking
You ,guys, could try, your mileage may vary....
Regarding the intro Sprint logo and music,i can confirm that happened to me as well after the first factory reset i did to my V50,due to some lagging after a few months of use,which has been caused from the amount of apps i had installed,and i would like to make a new beginning.
Right after the reset,my device reboot with the well known LG logo and sound.
For all the other bloat stuff,i didn't use ADB,but i just disabled them with the Package disabler pro app.
I know they are still there,but at least i hope they are not consume my device's energy just like they used to do before disabling them.

I thought I should share how I got rid of sprint activation on boot up as I am using an unlocked V50 in Europe. The original instruction was from LG G8 forum. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/how-to/remove-sprint-apps-rid-sprint-t4043537
I basically ran these commands in adb. Hope it helps someone.
# Remove activation on boot. Thanks, antintin for clarifying this part in post #2.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.lgdmsclientspr

how to remove bloatware without root access

In this post i will tell you about how you can uninstall and diasble apps using adb, without root access,
i will be using my brand new poco m3, to show how this works, but it can also, be applied to any other android (phone or skin).
So, lets begin the prerequisites, means what you need to do before hand to be able to use adb successfully,
Download adb and fastboot, on to your machine, if windows use this one :- click here
for linux (debian/ubuntu) :- use command sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
then goto settings and about phone and if you are using MIUI click on miui version till you are a developer appears
and for all other phones click build number till you are a developer appears.
goto developer option and enable usb debugging
after it, on your terminal or cmd, type adb devices, after typing adb devices your phone should prompt you to verify your pc click accept or ok what ever appears in your phone.
after it, here is command to uninstall app using adb,
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
and command to disable is,
adb shell pm disable-user <package name>
