I would guess because it has a literal rootkit in the zip file.

I guess it makes sense because we are trying to gain root access :-)

Could not enable usb debugging after the root process. Anyone else come across this? Also, any way to back up image before root? This phone has connectivity and driver issues and seems to be improperly supported by samsung. Thanks!
 
Man I can't say thanks enough! This worked great and I feel safer knowing those apps are gone, not to mention the battery savings. Thank you for doing this all and then sharing it with us AND taking requests along the way. Way to be the guy :)
 
Howdy,
First of all I would like to thank you so much for your hard work. now thats off my chest!

i have not notice any different to be honest with you, that battery life is the same, nothing changed! also comparing the size of my internal phone 1.58GB before and after your mod shouldn't it at least free some space???:confused:

please help me understand and i could be doing something wrong:rolleyes:

p.s: phone stay on charged over night and by 9:00am it is at 35% i don't do any calls txt or nothing !!! i start to hate losing my HTC EVO over this

any suggestions please.
 
I am using a notebook running windows 7 with 64 bit. I CANNOT get the USB drivers to successfully install. It says it has failed. I have tried 4 times and rebooting to install doesnt work either??
 
Which drivers are you talking about/using?

Are you following the first post to the letter? I have win7 as well and everything was fine...
 
It worked but had to do it twice. BTW I forgot I clicked Yes or NO on the last question "one that gives all apps root access". How can I do a test to see which version of su I got?
 
I just tried downloading again and it works just fine diagnosing from my phone. Make sure you are using the android invasion link provided by the OP. I can't see a reason why you wouldn't be able to download it when everyone else can... If all else fails, you can always test if the site is up for you by going to IsUp.Me -> Check if your website is down or up? and entering androidinvasion.us in the test field.

Do you turn off LTE with anycut? That helped a lot as well. Do you have Advanced Task Killer or similar running?
Click to expand...
anycut just turns off the LTE for 5 min then its backup again! (or atleast thats whats happening in my case!!)
i read somewhere in the forums that you don't need task killer if you are 2.+ android OS?

please advice
Thank you

2.1 yes

the indulge has a built in task killer but on my optimus running 2.2 the task killer actually slowed the phone down

Yeah, this is the first land line phone that runs android!!!
It also becomes a "Car Phone" like they had in the 80's once you plug it into your car.

it's a really great deal... it's 3 phones in one... the third being a cellphone... but it doesn't really work that well as one.

factory reset should wipe off the root but the bloatware apps would still be gone. To add the bloatware apps back again you would need to just download them again from the metro App store. I left the Metro App Store in tackt so that you can add back the stock apps from metro if you ever decided you wanted them again.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Funny, because true (unfortunately)!

Still love the phone though... but I am in/near my truck and/or office most of the time with power supplies a plenty at hand (power inverter, truck mounted laptop, etc.) so it's not an issue for me personally. Now if I ever need to be away from my truck for an extended period... I dunno, guess I will eventually get a spare battery for that...

just install it from the metro app store app.


TRS-80 - at least that thing has a big battery.



I need to get a big battery bag for my phone like the one "the Dude" carried around in the big Lebowski.
