Root Success!!! Bloatware Removed!!!

Status
Not open for further replies.
OK, I have been working with some of the guys over at Android Creative Syndicate an have merged my bloatware removal script with there new 1 click root script. This new script will root the phone, remove the bloatware and install a working SuperUser.apk. This means the phone is now protected by the superuser app and not left open to grant access to all apps.

The new download can be found at: http://androidinvasion.us/downloads/Root_And_Bloatware_Removal.zip

Make sure you have drivers for the phone installed beforehand.

Unzip the files to a location on the computer and then run the run.bat
 
Didn't work for me dam it. Got the same problem with the super user crap. I see your script was doing exactly what I was doing in adb, and still wouldn't let me edit superuser or su. I've been trying to find a way to remove the su and superuser.apk on my phone, but i've found no way. Basically:

lol ironman is still there, but the rest of the crap is gone wooooo!

LOL i forgot to add ironman to the script. Ill fix it.

Someone download the app named Android System Info and tell me what the name of the iron man movie player app file is.

It should be something like MetroMoviePlayer.apk but I forget and dont have that one saved.
