Hi All !
Some of us do know the application a long time but others don't. Therefore this small GUIDE.
Removing system apps without root/unlocked can be done in a few ways like :
manually : with an ADB list and described HERE huge thnx @SirTAVARES
automatic : if you don't like to do it manually, you can use the ADB/Fastboot Tool which will do the job for you.
The XiaomiADBFastbootTools isn't explained in depth afaik and can do a lot more but I'll focus on the removal of those system apps.
HOW TO :
NOTE : do try some apps (not all at once) and see if the phone boots again - if you would have a problem you can always restore the onces you removed or perform a factory reset to restore all apps (as they are not really gone )
0. enable developer options to enable USB debugging ( go to settings/about phone/tap MIUI version 7 times to enable dev. options -> then go to settings/additional settings/ dev. options/enable USB debugging )
1. download the latest version HERE
2. run the .jar application
3. you'll get this screen
As you can see, the tool will start by default in ADB. You'll see a bunch of apps you could de-install under the Uninstaller tab.
If you're sure which apps you want to de-install just check the ones you want and tab UNINSTALL
google where is the nearest gas station
TIP : try one first like Google Chrome f.e. and see if it works
EXAMPLE : Removal of Google Chrome :
Once removed you can check if the app is gone of your home screen apps or under settings/installed apps/tap the 3-dot sign to show all apps/ search for ''chrome'' and the app should be removed.
4. if you want the removed app(s) back, just tap the Reinstaller and check the ones you want to re-install. Easy right !
Once re-installed your Chrome app will appear again on your home screen/app list
5. TIP : before removing, check the app name under settings/installed apps/show all apps/tap on an app and tap the Ⓘ to get the app info
Other functions :
1. As you probably noticed besides running in ADB, this tool can easily boot into Fastboot, Recovery, System or EDL.
When booting into Fastboot you can see some other functions you can apply. Be aware of the risks applying things under fastboot !
2. Very useful option is the possibility to push, pull ,... apps/folders with FILE EXPLORER. Just tap OPEN and you can easily perform some actions afterwards.
(ignore the KB sizes - once pulled you'll get the right folder/apks )

This is what you have to install to be able to run .jar files. OP just assumed everyone has java installed (I would too to be honest) and didn't mention it.
I have installed the updated java and am trying to open the windows 10 boot tool and it refuses to open. Yes I did upzip it but the program will not open. Any help please?

What version you installed? I recommend that you install 6.5.1:
https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/releases/tag/6.5.1
That is what I downloaded...Win version. I unzipped and then tried to open but it does not work.

You don't need unzipped. Download the version .JAR an run it. I made this way
Evidently I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Nothing opens

Lets go from begining:
- First thing that I did, I uninstalled all versions of Java;
- Second, (I made this way, you can jump this step) - reboot my laptop;
- Third, I installed the latest version (in this moment is version 8, update 221) - I installed both 32 bits (x86) and 64 bits (x64);
- Fourth, run the tool (just download .JAR version) and clicked with right botton for open with Java.
When I right click nothing asks to open it in java
If you have java installed, then just a double click on the XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.5.1.jar is enough.
Opens in 7z

Hello! Tried different versions ... NOT FOUND Redmi 4X MIUI 10 Global 9.6.27 Android 7.1.2 N2G47H

We've updated a bit....
Download Link: [Here]
We now have a complimentary app on the app store for this A4D App.
What is A4D?
The goal of A4D is for us to move beyond just N1 make it an all in one flashing/upgrading/android utility. We just added a ROM library with MD5s. We are not going to be hosting the actual ROMs by themselves so if you report a dead link, they will be taken down (after a number of reports). You can also add your own ROMs as well into the library.
The ROM library will be supported by both Android and Desktop App. We are rewriting the Desktop apps so that we can do all 3 platforms in one, Linux, Windows, and Mac. You'll love the layout of the app. That's all we can say for now.
Oh one more thing. The android app won the best android app award at the Mobile in the Middle Hack-a-thon over the weekend in Chicago (on 3/6/2010).
I would like you guys to try out the app and tell us feedbacks. Also feel free to add your own ROMs to the Database and tell us how we can make the DB better. There a number of features we are trying to add as well. But with our full time jobs... things are going a little slower than we wanted. Sorry.
Requirements to run the app on Android: Amon_RA's recovery. That's what we tested it with.
Reserved
Reserved for Future Updates / Changelog
Can't wait to see if this is fool proof.
Add md5 check. Make it in this way: user have to enter/copy-past md5 hashsum from forum/site. Program calculates md5 of image and says image is good or bad. Also you can disable flashing with out this check. ;-)
good idea. Will do that. That will help with flashing screwed up downloads.
Hi
Thank you for sharing the application.
Does it flash the radio too? I mean CyanogenMod has two files a radio ROM and a CyanogenMod ROM. Does it flash both of them to the phone?
Thanks.
Radio flash is in there we took it out. May do so in the next release but radio flashing is dangerous (can brick phones) so...
Hey Lwin,
Nice concept man, this is gonna prove very handy for many peeps.
You've come up trumps again
So, this is a desktop application?
Does it flash ROM's from your desktop or copy them over and just run the commands on the phone for you?
I ask, as I'm having some problems flashing now, based round a slightly faulty Micro SD card. Does it store backups on the phone or on your desktop PC?
This program is written so you don't have to do command line commands. Everything else remains the same. If you are doing a Nand backup, it goes where it used to go.
I would recommend fixing your "slightly faulty Micro SD card" by getting a new card.
nice app for those that aren't familiar with cmd or jus pure...lazy lol
maybe the screens should be bigger as quite hard to see clearly whats available.
Pure Genius...

Here is the GUI tool for unlocking, updating, restoring, flashing of the N1 (and in theory should work on all HTC androids).
Try it out and see if it is useful. The tool is made to help for people with very basic skills since the tool at this stage is a wrapper for the shell commands at this point.
Again, as usual, we take no responsibility for loss of sleep, loss of phone or screw ups on our side (due to app) or on your side (due to lack of ability to follow instructions).
I wish to make it more simple. We welcome feed backs.

But I don't use command line now. I didn't realise anyone did. Do you not just boot into RA Recovery and flash from there?

There will be a mac port sometime this week. I can most likely port to linux too but if you know linux and if you have to use wrapper, you have an issue
install issues
I tried to install it but got a system update required....
extracted the sdk to the folder C:\android-sdk-windows
extracted android4dummies and clicked setup
I get a pop up with the following:
unable to install or run the application. the application requires that system assembly system.data, entry version 3.5.0.0 be installed in the global system cache.....???
What do I do now?
Sounds like the app uses .NET framework 3.5.
So goto microsoft website an get 3.5 .Net Framework.

You do need .Net 3.5. It should have asked you, if not installed that as a prerequisite.
I went to MS and downloaded the .net 3.5 installed it (apparently it was already on my pc, so instead of installing I tried to repair it. no success....

Can you send us a screenshot.
Do not unzip into C:\android-sdk-windows. App will install SDK or search for the SDK there.
Unzip on your desktop or temp and install from there.
just to be clear, I unzipped adroid sdk and placed in the mentioned location. the android4dummies is extracted on the desktop and executed from there..
so should I remove the SDK and retry?
Hi all,
EDIT
Thanks to techdudester on the second page, getting rid of the malware is now even easier!
Just flash the image he found here with the following procedure and you're good to go!
Instruction:
1. Flash the new ROM.
a. Get the ROM here . (Use this ROM only if you have a Venstar V140D tablet!)
b. Follow the linked tutorial to install the flash software and flash the new ROM on your device with: Phoenix Suit.
Voila, ready!
Enjoy your malware free tablet!
Tips and tricks. (or something...)
Get adb working (needed for all the other tricks down below):
1. Download the Google development tools (sdk) here and install them on your computer. I assume you have windows 7 installed during the rest of this tutorial.
2. Connect your device to your computer and make sure it is installed correctly.
a. Connect your device while its powered on via USB to your pc.
b. Go to Start, right click "My Computer" and select "Properties". Click "Device Manager".
c. Right click the Android device with the exclamation mark and select "Update Driver Software...".
d. Select "Browse my computer for driver software".
e. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
f. Keep "Show All Devices" selected and click Next.
g. Click "Have Disk..." and click "Browse..."
h. You can find the drivers in the "SDKInstallLocation"\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver directory and click OK. Replace SDKInstallLocation with the location that you selected during installation of the SDK.
i. Select the "Android ADB Interface" driver from the list and click Next.
j. Confirm installation by clicking on "Yes". Sometimes you also have to click on "Install" if a screen pops up to ask you again if you really want to install the driver...
k. Click "Close".
To use it:
Open a command prompt (in search type "cmd" followed by ENTER) and go to the following directory ""SDKInstallLocation"\sdk\platform-tools".
If you want a backup of your tablets system directory (highly recommended!) use:
"adb pull /system C:\system"
where C:\system is the target location on your local computer where you want the backup of the system directory.
Remove the update package (this doesn't work for updating the tablet, so, useless.)
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
rm Update.apk
exit
Remove the unwanted apps (dragonfire.apk etc)
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/preinstall
rm *
exit
If you would like to have your tablet in the correct time zone after factory reset, you will have to adjust the build.prop file.
First you need to get it to your pc so you can edit it:
in the command prompt window and at the same location as in the tutorial above type "adb pull /system/build.prop C:\temp\build.prop".
Just in case, make a copy of the build.prop in Windows Explorer so you always have the original file if something goes wrong.
Now you can edit the build.prop, but DON'T EDIT IT WITH THE WINDOWS NOTEPAD! Use Notepad++ or similar to edit the build.prop.
After you made the changes (and be careful here, you could end up with a tablet that does not want to boot up, solution further down below) you have to upload the file back to your tablet.
in the command prompt type:
adb remount
adb push C:\temp\build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
Don't forget the last line! If you do not chmod the file (set the correct permissions) your tablet will not boot up.
Changes in the build.prop:
Time zone:
Default time zone is "persist.sys.timezone=Europe/London"
you can change this to your locale time zone like "persist.sys.timezone=Europe/Amsterdam" (for the netherlands )
Search the internet for valid time zones.
Change the default language:
The default language is determined by these two values in the build.prop:
persist.sys.language=en
persist.sys.country=US
For dutch change them to:
persist.sys.language=nl
persist.sys.country=NL
and again, search the internet for valid language values.
Higher brightness after factory reset:
Add the following line to the build.prop file (at the top of the file)
ro.ph.def_brightness=225
You pushed the build.prop without changing the permissions:
No problem. Just connect your booting tablet to the PC, install the driver if its not installed correctly like explained in the tutorial, and then change the rights via adb. It's no problem that it's not fully booted!
in a command prompt in the adb directory:
adb remount
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
adb reboot
If you pushed a wrong non functioning build.prop, just use this method to push the original build.prop (you know, the copy you made ) back to the device (followed by setting the correct permissions of course).
Remove the (in my opinion) irritating boot sound:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/media
rm boot.wav
exit

I bought the same tablet for my daughter. She's (and so am I) suffering from a lot of annoying popups and ads.
Thanks for sharing your instructions here, very hard to find them!
Since I'm a complete newbie: one important question. When you flash the ROM, all of the apps (games) will be removed I guess?
Second question: can you put the stock rom on a different location? Both of the links (including Filedropper) don't contain any files...
Thanks!

Yes, all applications will be removed. As soon as you configure the tablet again with the same gmail account, it will probably start installing the applications and games automatically, but in game progress will be lost for most (not online) games.

Is that the firmware that I provided?
If not, try to download it again.
If so, I think that your tablet has a newer firmware than this one. You could contact the seller of your tablet for the current (latest) firmware for this tablet.
If you get a newer firmware, please share

Not sure. Will upload it again this weekend just to be sure that it's not my uploaded image. (I will let you know once I've done that)
You can, on the other hand, contact the supplier (where you bought the tablet) and ask them for the latest version of the ROM. I would also be interested in that

Te real FIX is In!
Ok, i have one of these allwinner, Venstar, "whatever", A33 D140v tablets. It had all the usual problems and more, because the first thing I tried, was to use the built in recovery to "restore to factory". This made things even worse, because after the recovery, I couldn't reach the Google authentication servers.
I am pro tech with 25 years in the trenches and I have to admit this thing really threw me for a loop, because I spent an entire day researching the solution, installing Android SDK, drivers, Phoenix Suit, Live Suit, etc. These were all very complicated "solutions" that took me exactly nowhere. I finally found the answer in a rather stupid Youtube video.
The REAL answer is actually very quick and easy compared to all these other recommended methods.
In the first place, model V140d image is only used for these infected tablets. The actual model is V11 and once you use the quick restore method I discovered, you will have a malware free V11 model. The whole secret to this method, is the fact that these units were designed to be quickly, automatically and completely restored in less that 5 minutes through the use of their built in micro SD slot.
Imagine that!
If you check your tablet that came new in the box as something other than V140d, the method I used will most probably not work for you.
Anyway, the quick method I discovered, can be seen on my own tech support site. To find it, Google: Just Call Techdude
Then click on the support link at the top of the page on my site and all will be revealed.

Hi techdudester,
The combination "pro tech with 25 years in the trenches" and "very complicated "solutions"" sounds a bit strange.
But either way, a THANK YOU is in order!
The ROM you found works on my tablet (flashed yesterday) and so far so good. No popups and no unwanted application downloads!
I will adjust my initial post to incorporate this image.

As always you are more than welcome to add this to the op if you wish.
Muniz I ran the batch file and it worked great getting rid of all that bloat. Thank you very much. One thing that surprised me though is that I went from 5.15GB of used internal storage to 4.98GB after debloating and that's after running CCleaner to get rid of any left over junk. I was expecting to gain more memory space considering how many apps were removed. Is this normal? Thanks

there's three settings in the batch script. which one did you use?
also, the bloat apps aren't really that big, they're all near the 10-20mb or less ballpark. accumulating 20 of them up probably frees up like maybe 100-200 mb of space. this is of course wild speculation as I usually make but still, something to consider

Thanks for getting back. I used extreme setting. I guess the files are not as large as I thought. I may not have gained much memory space but at least the bloat is gone.
I gave adb root permissions through SuperSU, ran this (slightly customized extreme, I kept Hangouts), and verified that the folders have been removed. After doing that, many of the apps I still had to manually uninstall (is that normal?), and some I'm not sure if I even can remove some (I just have a disable option).
I know you guys know better than I, but is simply removing these directories from /system/app enough to uninstall the applications?
Thanks.

Someone needs to capture the ota so that a pre-rooted ROM can be created.

it seems samsung gave up on Story Album because both story album related apps were apparently not present, according to the debloater tool. hooray for removed bloat!

Hello,
I'm a programmer (in college, mostly C & C++), but my knowledge of android is limited to rooting my S4 and other stuff I've gleaned while lurking on xda.
A quick search for how to capture an ota seems that it's not terribly difficult to do. ex http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589754
Is my impression (capturing ota update is not hard) correct? If so, why hasn't it been done? If the answers to those questions are "Yes" and "No good reason," respectively, I might be able to donate some of my time to do it. Would that be useful?

Open the .bat file and you can read it all to see.
adb is not a recognized command
when i tried this it says that adb is not a recognized command. running windows 10 is that why?

You may have deleted adb.exe from the extracted folder (maybe you havent extracted all the files), you must have the 4 files included at zip:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Debloater.bat
solved! thank you

Thx for this tool, not just for the sake of it, but for the sake of us newbies being able to learn some basics from reading a batch file as well.

I have the Samsung drivers installed and USB debugging on, however, the bat file stays on "Waiting for device". Normally I would get a notification granting my comp privileges for the debugging but no dice.

I get the same unless i right click and run as admin but when i hit 2 (medium) then go i get the following?
UPDATE: Nevermind the reason adb commands were not running was due to the custom kernel i was using. switched kernels and the debloater worked fine.

If you plan on using this with the latest update GPG2, edit the .bat file and remove the last line for TmoWfcPrefs, this is needed to change wifi calling preferences.

OK, so I am dependent upon WiFI calling at work, and I did this, but maybe it's because I have an 11 month old or I don't know what but I must not have saved the BAT file correctly. anyway, I broke my WiFi calling.
- EDIT: it works if I turn it on with the quick icon - but if I go to settings, and click more networks, then click wifi calling it just crashes settings every time. any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this is going to flash probably this way on BS 2 Pro, as this contain extracted partitions and there is a flash script 'flash_all.bat' which I made to flash those partitions.
So 'flash_all.bat' should be executed to flash this.

Is there by any way I can get the navigation buttons at the bottom as like Android 10 or earlier than 9? the gesture based Android 9 is annoying and not able to lock the background app as we do on other android systems.

There are may bugs in joyui11.
Navigation buttom array can reverse in fullscreen display which located settings. (select mirror button)
Lock the background app is possible. view recent app(press home button or slide bottom up) and long press app what you want to lock.
Then, you can see lock icon

Sorry. I forgot to mention - I need to do this for stock android 9 on BS2. Once I downgrade from 10 to 9.
The older joy ui navigation menu sucks. It offers only gesture navigation and no option to lock apps. There is no 3 button navigation like other android platforms.

how about using this? using adb.
adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"
" "<- you can change this order
caution : when you reboot your phone, it go back previous

Thanks for the trick. I think there must be a way to persist this setting.
If I remember correctly, there are apps on store to change dpi on non rooted phone, which runs some adb commands to change the dpi value and make it to persist across reboot.
or using fluid navigation gestures app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en
2. Then dial this from your phone

I use the stock dialer and it the default one, although I have truecaller installed along with.
Regardless, I managed to fix the issue.
I did the following:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
wipe/factory reset
with nothing installed, dialed *#*#1027#*#* and got the ota update app to popup.( I had the dpi set to lower than stock before reset, not sure that could be a reason for incompatibilities. )
Thanks, I will come back if I get into issues again with the downgrade.

I don't think truecaller cause this.
I successfully downgraded from android 10 to 9. Installed truecaller and tested the dial code, it instantly popsup the update software.
Thanks for documenting the steps. Infact, I used the updated ota image from KM7 thread - SKYW2003090OS00MP6.
I will work on to root this device now and keep it on 9 forever. No more miui based Android 10
Update:
warning: flashing SKYW2003090OS00MP6 directly broke my sensors.
Had to flash the MP3 update.zip in the opening post to keep the sensors working. Thanks for the zip.

This can be done by turning off 'Swipe up on Home button' gesture, in Settings > System > Gestures.

KM7 thread - SKYW2003090OS00MP6. is not OS00 firmware. that's OS01 firmware. Because I'm sharing this files first.
Today. I could get SKYW2003090OS00MP6 factory firmware(Korea ver.) so I'll modify it.
