I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-Mobile) and it includes all the unneccesary bloatware. Since I'm not a T-Mobile customer, I would prefer not to have all the extra T-Mobile applications, so I was wondering when rooting with Odin 3, instead of using T-Mobiles stock image, can I possibly use a different carriers, like WIND Mobile.
The instructions I got were from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
When I tried using the WIND image on my T-Mobile device, rooting fails!
Any suggestions?
BUMP
You probably can some way, but you could also just use the T-Mobile one and de-bloat after root.

Yea, I've tried that already but the issue is I want to remove the T-Mobile Hotspot application that they've integrated into the stock hotspot which does not seem to remove (cannot be found in the applications).
Any other suggestions?

I just got my skyrocket, having faithfully used my Nexus One since it came out for att. While I don't doubt I will eventually hop on CM again once it's officially out for the skyrocket, for now though I have to get rid of the bloatware and get back the ability to tether my tablet.
I was wondering what was the best of the methods for just getting root, superuser, and busybox, without putting on cwm or anything else?

You can use super one click and the flash cwm via rom manager selecting tmobile sgs 2 as your device
Hi,
not sure if this has been discussed here or not,
so i have a simple and easy question. I currently use a rooted Verizon 32gb Xoom, with a 4.1.2 CM10 rom installed by Rom Manager.
I do not ever plan to use the Verizon hardware and software in the future, is there a way to completely remove the Verizon software,
so that I can kinda convert this Xoom into a wifi only model ?
Is there a problem doing this that you can think of ?
can I just flash a different modem with cwmr ?
I really despise Verizon and do not want to see the 3g signal meter in the notification panel.
i know it sounds a lil whiney, but i do want to know, what it would take to disable any verizon functionality.
thanks in advance,
Use LAIOT Linux to install Stock MZ604 ROM, then root again and blah blah blah. Else you can try installing AOSP ROM.

I keep mine in airplane mode and just turn on wifi. I never see the 3G icon. I've been doing this for over six months now. I originally did this because I was afraid verizon would try to disable my Xoom. I figured if it never connected to their network that I'd be safe.

I was under impression you could just flash any rom intended for the wifi version and it'll work

This'll work, just flash a wingray rom

I am on a 4G rooted xoom as well that I never use the verizon data. If I were just to install a wingray ROM instead of stingray and keeping in airplane mode, would I be able to expect a increase in battery life?
Possible battery Life increase is the only benefit I see in switching from stingray to wingray.
Well yea you will but then if you want to use wifi it'll defeat the purpose of airplane mode

I just bought a new ($200) 3g version to replace my recently damaged WiFi version. Can I flash a fully stock wingray firmware to it? Or better/safer to just flash a custom wingray ROM?
Thanks.

Wondering what is the current way to unlock my Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE from Rogers. Is there a free way to do so or do I need to go through the unlocking code websites (if so which one is the cheapest)?

Thanks was this way tested on Canadian phones as well? Also do I really need to bring the phone back to stock ROM? Will that unlocking method make my phone permanently unlocked or will it disapear once I flash to another ROM? And finally what modem should I flash it to, I saw several in that thread, not sure if that has to do with the service provider or phone type?
You should read more. You have to bring to stock, make a nandroid of where you are now. It will permanently unlock you.

Worked thanks!
Just got my S3 today.
Rooted it when I walked in the door.
I'm not new at all to rooting but I was wondering if using ROM toolbox was safe to use for removing Verizon's bloat from the stock ROM.
I'm trying to just stay stock here...

I run rom toolbox on mine and I have used it to remove apps. I use andybones rom and they are all gone anyway. I really don't remember if it can remove all the bloat or not.

I know for a fact that Titanium Backup works, used it the other day. I can't think of any reason Rom Toolbox wouldn't though
I just used Rom Toolbox to uninstall a system apk. (Only a wallpaper apk) bit o it worked. I usually use TiBu.

Does anyone know if someone has posted the stock 4.1.2 OTA ROM without the bloat? Or should I do this?

I am from the Philippines and I just bought a 2nd hand ATT Samsung Infuse. It is still on the stock Froyo OS but rooted already and unlocked as well. I purchased this with the 4G data feature not working. Anyone here knows how to make it work on our local network here? Any help will be very appreciated! Thanks!
I have been reading qkster's thread regarding heimdall's one click and have downloaded the jar file for it. It just won't launch for some reason and there is no run as admin option as well when I right click on it. Help please!
You know the infuse does not have 4glte, it's only an upgraded 3g that is considered a lower 4G standard. I think that is what you mean?
