Root Need elementary answer to get rid of system updates

[MDykstra]

why haven't you tried a rom, just asking? i didn't either till the update was bothering me. then did all this with autostarts and was happy till didn't have enough memory. used a2sd, and all those. but now switched to ctmod and WOW!!! what a difference. runs so good and more memory to do whatever you want than know what to do with.

i haven't changed roms because 1) I don't know how, 2) don't want to re-root, 3) don't know how

Number 1 is really easy to do. you never have to reroot your phone once its rooted it is rooted for good unless something breaks or you have a problem. But anyways that's fine and if you're happy with the way your phone is that good. Hope I helped you out. if you have any other questions don't be afraid to ask everyone and anyone here are all happy to help out.

As wilfredojr978 said he can use the fa19 rooted image with cwm then afterwards he can flash the ej06 baseband with Odin and he'd be all set...

You can actually flash then all at the same time. All ya gotta do is go to the EJ06 folder and select the phone.tar instead of flashing the FA19 phone.tar. That's the way I used to do it before I just started using all EJ06.

To CWhatever- Actually, I'm not happy with how my phone works b/c I frequently get low storage messages. My ROM is nearly full as is my internal memory. I've used TB and multiple other apps to maintain, to little avail. Easy, step by step instructions for updating/changing the ROM would be appreciated (or if there is another thread with easy, step by step instructions you could point to). Thank you.

what rom are you running??? and shouldn't get memory full on just about any of these roms??

now if still on the stock rom you will get low mem. also sign in to the forums and check your private messages. top right in the bar that is saying android forums>andriod phones>ect...

if you did the autostarts thing and that worked, that is not a rom. and that kinda sounds like what you are getting. it will not improve memory. a rom or something like link to sd would help with memory.

Sorry, i know now what you are looking for. Pm me by clicking on my name and pic. First will need to install cwm if you don't have it.

ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.7 for Samsung Prevail


This is what you have to do. This is the cwm thread on root section.


Only Download ClockWorkMod from the links provided in my post, if you download ClockWorkMod from some other source and brick your phone, you will need to go to the place that provided those files for help.

I would also like to mention that you should not use Rom Manager on the Prevail to try and and flash CWM or kernels, Rom Manager is an excellent program. but our phone is not supported for those functions yet.

If you have problems installing this, try reading the instructions again , and if you need help describe what you have done so far and which step you are getting stuck on.

If you DO NOT already have one of my older versions of ClockWorkMod port on your Prevail you will need to install it with Odin. If you already have a previous version of my ClockWorkMod port on your Prevail use CWM update

Install CWM with Odin
1. Download and unzip CWM5027-SPH-M8200-FOR-ODIN-FIXED2A.zip
2. Download stick.zip and copy stick.zip to SD Card
3. Install the Samsung USB drivers (if you don't already have them)
4. From a powered off phone put phone into Download Mode by holding Volume Down, Camera Button, and Power button until the Yellow Downloading message appears
5. Plug phone into USB port
6. Open Odin (on your computer), you should see a yellow box with a com number
7. Select SPHM820.ops in the OPS box
8. Put a check in One Package
9. Select the CWM5027-SPH-M8200-FOR-ODIN-FIXED2A.TAR file in the One Package box
10. Click Start
11. When Odin says reset and the phone reboots Hold Vol UP, and Power button until you are in CWM DO THIS QUICKLY BEFORE PHONE BOOTS, IF PHONE BOOTS UP ALL THE WAY START BACK AT STEP 4. you do not have to wait for Odin to say pass, that does not work
12. In CWM go into install zip from sdcard (use volume buttons to scroll between options and home button to select)
13. select choose zip from sdcard
14. select stick.zip
15. select Yes - Install stick.zip
16. After it is done installing Press back button
17. Select Reboot System Now



Install CWM Update
1. Download the SPH-M820-CWM-5027-UPDT-FIXED2A.zip
2. Copy it to your SD Card
3. From a powered off phone put phone into CWM Recovery Mode by holding Volume Up, and Power button until you are in the CWM-based Recovery Menu
4. In CWM-based Recovery go into install zip from sdcard
5. select choose zip from sdcard
6. select SPH-M820-CWM-5027-UPDT-FIXED2A.zip
7. select Yes - Install SPH-M820-CWM-5027-UPDT-FIXED2A.zip

The only virus on your computer is the antivirus that you have running on it. Standing at the door. Watching everything that comes in and everything that goes out. Watching every program that runs. Scrutinizing every site you visit, everything you want to download. Stopping everything in its tracks if the program thinks there's a "virus".

Standing around eating up your cpu cycles.

There's no virus. Loads of folks are using it. Loads of people are going to use it again.

I've been a member of this site for almost a year now and have only found 1 questionable download. The person who shared that link pretty much got the BOOT from the majority of us too. If it's in here and has been used by many of us, you can believe that it's clean. We don't put up with that kinda stuff in here.

We're lucky to have such a great group of DEVS and I trust what they share. My Kaspersky does too.

I used Autorun Manager app to find the google services. Unchecked the update entry, last one at the bottom. No more updates! Thanks.
