Root Rooting the Metro 2.2 froyo update

[AndroidFan420]

Okay i found the partition on RootExplorer under CUST/METROPCS
However that folder and all the apps are Read only, it is the only folder that cannot be switched to Read n Write. Any Ideas?

Cust/metropcs/us/app then rw then select all and delete

Hope. That helps it worked for me

Top right hand corner of screen is where I found it did you change. It to rw in the main part of root explorer? Check than then look top right corner in each file in sequence. To the apps and let me know. What happens

In root explorer hit Rw in the main menu and go to cust/metropcs/us/app hit Rw top right corner select all apps and delete!

the rest can be deleted by going into tibu hit problems to d/l busybox then backup and restore at the top then top right click to edit filters hit system (second row)
then apply in the top right you should be able to delete the last few remaining peices of crapware floating around on your phone

tibu will still not delete sys apps and i cant find them in root explorer any ideas?

If you have TIBU PRO,have you tried converting the SYSTEM apps to USER apps & then attempt to delete?

Don't do it!!! Don't give in to Ascend Rage! We've all been there! Take a deep breath, count to ten, then let Nuttmeg solve all of your problems lol.
