Root [Root][R910/R915] One Click Root for Samsung Galaxy Indulge :: OUTDATED USE AIO OUTDATED :: 4/10/11

[Shabbypenguin]

yea talking to miketoolz about making a bloatware script that restores the bloat, so then everyone could return to stock with no hassles

 

[sookieball]

That would be pretty awesome. In that case, I'm probably going to have to play on the safe side and be patient (sigh) and just wait to root it until there is a facilitated way to unroot the phone.

I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving me and in return, I'd like to offer you any assistance or information I can help provide you with as a MetroPCS employee.

Of course because of the nature of this project (MetroPCS would definitely frown down upon this project lol), I obviously would have to remain 100% ANONYMOUS.

Anything you guys need, just let me know

EDIT: Speaking of, I recall reading in a seperate thread about why you cant use data and LTE at the same time. Well, very soon that will be possible. We are preparing to roll out voLTE in the near future and all phones supporting the technology will be able to talk and use the web simultaneously. To the best of my understanding, the entire CDMA spectrum is going to be converted and used for voLTE.

Wow! Thats awesome! So does that mean our 4g wont keep disapearing and wont keep switching from 4g to 1x?

Hi, I'm havin some issues with the root, some of the apps that require root won't run at all despite having super user permissions in my app drop box. I also downloaded rootchecker and it says ok to busybox but not root. Should I run the root process again?

Thats odd.... wouldnt hurt to run again.

Yea I found it really stramge as well. Should I use the non bloatwae one instead?

I used the nonbloat because i had already removed the bloat.
But they are the same root an SU so i dont know why it wuld make a difference but hey.

Try running the bloatware script first then the non bloat.
My fones running smooth and no glitches with anything so far.

 

[MikesTooLz]

Pull the battery from the phone and if its still doing the same thing, run the root again.

I had tried the non bloat script but it wouldn't ask for permissions, the non bloat one fixed that issue though.

If any of you are worried about getting the Metro Bloatware back on the phone, or don't like the idea of deleting stuff without a backup, I would like to suggest the SDX Stock App Remover program. It will let you make a backup of any application on the phone and also delete any application including the hidden ones.

Sdx Stock App Removal

The app names -
Metro Movie Player is MetroMoviePlayer.apk
Top Games is MicroWidget.apk
*MetroPCS Easy Wifi is SamsungForte_MetroPCSEasyWiFi_4.0.111.apk
Metro Backup is MetroBackup.apk
Metro 411 is Metro411.apk
My Extras is MobilePosse.apk
Moco Space is Mocospace.apk
MetroPCS MySpace is MySpace_Client_v182_aligned.apk
Mail@Metro is z7-android2x.apk
Metro Studio is MetroSTUDIO.apk
IM&Social is IMandSocial.apk
Virtual Card Pay is VCpay.apk
ThinkFree Office is thinkdroid.apk

*You should DEFINITELY remove EasyWiFi because its constantly running, using a lot of ram, collecting information about the wireless networks around you and sending that back to MetroPCS. I personally don't like my phone spying on me.

MikesToolz : I love your script and used it to clean up my phone but I also like the idea of doing things my self

hey i have a couple of questions
- what happens to my installed apps if i root or remove the bloatware? is it like a format?
- whats the difference between k0nane's and mike's?
- what are the chances of screwing my phone if i don't do the root correctly?

i'm so new at this! but it is exiting! hehe thanks

 

[tiede]

I may get my head chopped for saying it again but here goes: in my experience, once you root, do not upgrade su from the super user app. I checked the app for update and it said one was available and bam! No more root. rerooted the phone and tried again, same behavior. So now even though super user told me another su is available, I have not upgraded it, and my rooted phone is happily chumming along.
All this to say don't go around updating su for no reason.

rooob:
- what happens to my installed apps if i root or remove the bloatware?
Think of the root script like giving you the master key to the phone, nothing changes as far as your apps or data. The bloatware script asks you which items to remove and if you say no to everything then no apps are uninstalled

- whats the difference between k0nane's and mike's?
K0nanes is the original and all it does it give you the "master key" where as Mike took K0nanes and added in his script to allow you to get rid of the MetroPCS applications (all of which suck)

- what are the chances of screwing my phone if i don't do the root correctly?
Very little chance of something bad happening. If the script fails for some reason you should be able to run it again and everything will be fixed right up.

My best advice to you if you are worried would be to reboot the phone, put it into airplane mode, turn off wifi, make sure the battery is at least 40% and then run the script. While the script runs dont even move the mouse around until its totally finished

One Click Root for the Samsung Galaxy Indulge
Fully working, includes Superuser​

ACS: From spontaneous ingenuity comes creative brilliance.​

About​

Greetings, Indulge users! After quite a bit of troubleshooting, poking around, and a few logcats, ACS and I have got a full root package for you. There were several roadblocks along the way, most importantly that something appears to be interfering with the install of Superuser specifically, whether by signature or by package name.

We've bypassed that. Included in this package is a modified, recompiled, resigned version of Superuser, along with a matching recompiled su binary. This has been tested on three devices, and is guaranteed to work.

How To Install​

This package will automagically install the su binary, Superuser, and an updated Busybox to your device. To use it:

1. Extract the contents of the zip to a folder
2. Put your device in USB Debugging mode (Settings > Applications > Development)
3. Connect your device to USB
4. Double-click run.bat

And that's it! You'll be rooted.

Downloads
We do not use file hosts with waiting times!​

FAQ​

Q: My antivirus thinks this is a virus!
A: What your AV is detecting is Rage Against The Cage, the exploit that's used to root your phone. It's an Android exploit, and cannot harm your PC. Turn your AV off.

Q: My phone is connected, but it says it's not!
A: Make sure your device is in USB Debugging mode.

• noobnl, Firon, joeykrim: Original one-click batch file for Epic 4G
• And of course, all of my fellow Android Creative Syndicate members for their continued support.

Special thanks go to ACS team leader rjmjr69, without whom ACS would not exist.

Donations​

This and any other ACS productions are not, and will never be donationware. However, I and ACS have put several late nights into this - and it's only the beginning! Your generosity - if you feel like showing it - is deeply appreciated! Note: Please PM me if you donate! Thanks!​
