Root How can I remove Indulge startup audio?

Ok, this was my attempt:

1) Download Super Manager and choose Enable Root Function

2) Restart both computer and phone

3) Run temp root program given in bloatware removal

4) Start Super Manager and attempt to rename Poweron.wav to Poweron1.wav

5) When that did not work I attempted to delete Poweron.wav

So this is where I'm at. I have removed the bloatware so now what's left is the annoying boot noise, for now.
 
Ok.
Here's what to do.
Redo step 3 and answer the last question about replacing "su" on your phone.
(be careful with that though, 'cause remember, su GRANTS ALL... and we don't have a proper sudo yet)
then do step 2 (actually just the phone, the computer can do whatever it wants ;) )
then do step 1
then try step 4 again.

Note:I'm not quite sure, but you may need to change the permission on the file before being able to delete it.
If you do need to do that, it's easy.
Browse to /etc using Super Manager's built in file explorer, and you will notice an icon on the toolbar that looks like gears with the number 777 on it. Use it to chmod PowerOn.wav to at least 666 (that is -rw-rw-rw). In otherwords, read/write permission for everyone.
As I am not 100% sure this is needed, only do it if the second try still failed.
 
Ok, the phone is rooted using the "one-click" that was just released tonight. Root checker verifies root. I attempted to use 777 to change Poweron.wav to rw,rw,rw but it's not taking. Where is the busybox located? I'm thinking that may be the problem.
 
New update. It's not busybox. Super Manager no longer force closes and I have busybox listed as /system/xbin/busybox

Apparently I need a step by step because I can't seem to get this file to go away...

Would it be that I'm using the free version of Super Manager?
 
Easy way to do this:

After using the one-click root, connect your phone back to your PC, open cmd, navigate to your ADB or one-click folder (cd path\to\the\folder), and type:

Code: 
adb shell
su
remount rw
mv /system/etc/PowerOn.wav /system/etc/PowerOn.off

Done. If you downloaded the one-click before reading this post, go back and redownload/reapply it. The remount script has been updated and won't work unless you get the update.

Can the sound be renamed from the phone? I'm trying but it wnt take, I have "root check" and it shows that I'm rooted. I did the "one click root" (Mikes script) on 4/11, but can't get the sound off. Should I just try it from my computer, or should it wrk from my phone and I'm just doing something wrng?
 
You need an app w/ root access to move, rename, or change the file in any way.

Root Explorer

That one hasn't done me wrong yet. As said further up in this thread navigate to the folder that the file is in
/system/etc/ You'll see a small white button that says "Mount R/W" tap it and do what you will. I just make sure to tap it again before all is done and said.

~Hope that helps :)
 
Yeah I just figured out that I needed to switch system r/w and it wrkd, srry bout that, thanks for your help. Oh!! so does this mean i can delete that IM2 app, all share and write & go?
 
I used Mike's bloat remover and that got rid of everything without any issues.
 
smh... i gave super manager root access and it still wont delete, i even renamed my custom sound to PowerOn and tried to copy and paste....

I assume I have to do this with Root Explorer only huh?

Glad we (well others actually, not me ;)) could help out! Welcome to Androidforums!
 
I've tried using Super Manager and File Expert and when I locate PowerOn.wav and attempt to delete nothing happens. I've tried renaming and pasting a different file in poweron.wav's location but no avail.

Root Checker verified that my phone is rooted.

If ur going 2use Super Manager then b4n u change the name of the file u have 2hit the menu key and u should see " Switch System R/W" hit that and then change then name of the file. Should wrk. I mention it a few posts above this ;). Hope it helps.
 
More than likely he's going straight to the folder without giving r/w permission. Easiest way, if you're "tech slow" is to use Super Manager and enter the "system" folder. Then the program will ask you what permissions you want to give.

Be careful with your delete finger... Don't cut into the phone's brain too deeply. ;)
 
I downloaded the terminal program Connectbot. Typed in su and grant the app superuser rights. Then type in Mount RW enter and you will be able to successfully rewrite locked files.
 
How would I go about replacing the sound? I found it in the directory and I am ready to change it, I just don't have any money to spend on apps. I'm a broke college kid lol.
 
Use a terminal emulator and do it manually. If you really are a college student I bet you could figure out the right commands to run with a few google searches
