Hi there everybody! As the title says, is there a way to remove the Carrier (Orange in my case)Boot Logo when you power on/off a SGS2? I searched the internet and the only thing i found was how to replace the 1st boot screen, but nothing about the carrier logo, so if there's a way do deal with the carrier logo fell free to put down a guide ... Thanks in advance

Rooting and flashing a custom Rom removes the orange stuff, search for cf-root and follow the instructions

removing vodaphone logo apps
Hi
This is my first post on this forum. I want to remove the vodaphone labelled apps on my ex contract Galaxy S11. Do I have to root the phone do do this or is there another way to remove these?
My phone details are: PDA I9100 BUKJ3 Phone: I9100 BUKI1 CSC I9100 VODKI2. I have found the official ROMS for carrier branded firmware to download ODIN Flash and the stock kernal information but am unsure about my competence to flash my phone without wrecking it. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
You got 2 choices:
1) Freeze bloat with Titanium back up pro ( root needed ).
2) Flash an unbranded ROM with Odin (no root) or Mobile Odin (root needed).

Thank you for that. The suggestion of using an unbranded ROM with Odin without rooting may be what I am looking for. I have uninstalled some of the unnecessary apps (trial games etc) but realise that the carrier has installed additional "helpful" logos for shopping, updates, music shop and also various "suggestions" in Play Store, none of which are of any interest to me and I would like to remove oe uninstall. I have never tried to get into the innards of this smart phone which I value and am concerned that I might make my phone unusable if I mess up. Where would I find an unbranded ROM that I could use with Odin along with the absolutely essential idiot proof instructions for their use?
Thank you for your patience.

Hey guys, just popping in here to figure something out for a friend, I'm not too intimate with VZWs locked bootloaders on samsungs (I enjoy easy samsungs on sprint)
She's wants to root (which apparently can be done without unlocking the bootloader, easy enough) for the sole purpose of deleting some bloat, and absolutely not flash any ROMs. Does this device require being unlocked for it to boot after removing stuff from /system?
I can't find the answer explicitly, just the same rhetoric "you need to unlock in order to flash Roms kernels or recoveries",none of which apply here.
Thanks in advance!

For a starter, I recommend that you don't UNINSTALL any system apps (once removed it's tough to put it back). If rooted, just install Titanium backup and freeze the bloated apps or if not rooted, go into settings ->apps and disabled the app. Let it runs for a few weeks to make sure everything is working and you can easily roll back by "un freeze" or 're enable". This is about the same effect as debloating without saving the space.
You don't need to unlock the BL to delete bloatware. All you need is root. You can install No Bloat from the Play Store (Requires root) to delete the bloatware.
Ok thanks!
I'm intimate with Android, I definitely feel comfortable removing apps with root explorer. I just need to make sure she knows how to use ODIN in case she touches something she's not supposed to lol.

Hello !
I bought an S6 Edge second hand, but the phone was originally bought from Vodafone Romania. It is unlocked, as I am using it with Orange RO, but i can't delete an app called "Vodafone Updates". If I flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com, will this go away and won't come back after rebooting the phone ? As I was researching about this on the forum, I found some information about the Bootloader, which I don't really know what is, but I understood that these career apps may get re-installed because of the bootloader . (?)
Can someone explain to me please, how to get rid of these pre-installed career apps and get a fully stock phone ( maybe rooted and removing useless apps ) ?
My phone is SM-G925F, Android 6.0.1 , see the attachment below for build number and stuff

Easiest way is to go in settings > applications and disable that app. It will be still on the storage but it will dissapear as if its not there. The other way would be tto just root your phone and delete the app. Saves flashing stock and starting from fresh again. Rooting wint remove anything but you can use titanium backup or other apps to remove it.
Thanks for the help but the first thing I did was trying to disable the app but there's no option for that. If I root and delete it with Titanium Backup, it will disappear forever ?

I don't think so until we get our bootloader unlocked
A general question about root.. Does getting root means we can switch carrier (move to att/verizon) on tmobile locked phones?

Can you elaborate by "switching carrier's?" Do you mean putting an att/Verizon sim into a T-Mobile phone? Or flashing a att/Verizon firmware to a T-Mobile phone?
If you're referring to the sim, then no. You'll have to either pay for a service to do it for you or wait for TMobile to unlock it for you.

Yes I mean using a SIM from a different provider.
Thanks for the info!
Google what Root means, It does not unlock SIM, it just allows for customization

and it allows you (the one plopping down a grand for this device) to remove all the CRAP that Samsung and your carrier thought it would be in THEIR best interest to put on your phone.
Since samfail doesnt trip knox (afaik) is it possible to unroot and use samsung pay again? Or is that gone regardless?

If you flash back to stock, Samsung Pay works fine since we never tripped Knox.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried secure settings and it did not work. I am unsure how to make Tasker add a toggle. I remember the note 5 we had to add MobileData line some where in csc or something.

I thought T-Mobo's bootloaders were unlocked by default (as is the T-Mobo's Note 5)?
NP
Piezan,sorry I was vague.Secure Settings has a Tasker plugin that under the right conditions allows you to either build a Tasker Profile ( voice,geofence or whatever ) to toggle Data or straight up make a widget for it...I remember on my Nexus 5 I had a Tasker Profile that as soon as I was about 50 feet from the house I would enter an AutoLocation Geofence I had set (Home) thus toggling my Data in favor of the home WiFi. The main reason I suggested it is that it requires root (for the SS part).
I guess I'll ask here.
When rooted is the 80% limit ,actual or perceived ? I keep reading it's still 100pct just reporting 80.
What exactly breaks or stops working. I know about Android and Samsung pay. But I've read Samsung health which is mind boggling that root would have anything to do with a heart rate sensor.
Lastly my main desire is for one click video download ,and Instagram downloads of stories or vids etc. These are Xposed dependent. Would I be able to use Xposed with samfail. (If not any non root alternatives?)
Fastboot and Download mode
I'm on rooted note 8 and booting into Download mode every time to charge the phone to 100% instead of 80%. Using hardware keys to get back to OS every time is uncomfortable and takes too long. Easiest way I know is to do "fastboot reboot" from PC, while the phone connected via USB. However, I cant get my PC to recognize the phone while it is in Download mode - "fastboot devices" lists nothing, and if I try "fastboot reboot" the command prompt just sits on < waiting for device >.
Does anyone know what note 8 specific drivers for Windows 10 x64 need to be installed, or what else to do to make fastboot recognize connected phone in Download mode?
I know the same feeling with the fastboot I can't seem to figure it out. I usually use Minimal ADB and Fastboot and it's worked on most every modern droid I've ever owned I don't see why the Note 8 is so finicky with it. I had no problems with it and my V20.
I know that these things take time, but does anyone have any idea if anyone is working on root for the new updated bootloader? I know that the new bootloader that came with last update broke root but I have not heard or seen anything. I haven't updated but would like to know. ????

Yes , if you root your phone you should make a backup of your personal data , because you'll lose it
Sorry but you won't be able to save your boot animation.
And if someday you want to root your device , don't use the one click root apps , they may be harmful for your device ( you know privacy a that kind of stuff ).
To root a device you need to unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP recovery ( or another custom recovery , I said TWRP because he's the most common and I personally love it ) and flash Magisk or SuperSU to your phone

Maybe I'm not as switched on as you with phones, I have no problem getting around a PC. Many people talk of saving their boot animation and replacing Boot animations or downloading and replacing their Boot animations so I am sure it is possible. But to start with, I have no idea how to back up all my SMS and attachment photos and my contacts and call logs. When you ask for help, everyone assumes that you already know your way around the phone and backup and root kits and so on. Why is their no step by step tutorials to be found for an amateur?
