I've searched all over these forums trying to figure out how to uninstall Unofficial Safestrap 3.75, but have not had any luck. I did some mods to my S3 and want to remove SS 3.75 because each time the S3 reboots it first goes to the Samsung Custom screen that shows an opened padlock and then goes to the "Safestrap Disabled Screen" where you can push "continue" (or it does so in 10 seconds on its own) or Recovery. I've tried uninstalling it by using Link2SD, but I still get the screens mentioned above. The app doesn't show in the App Manager Drawer, so I'm not sure what to do. I would appreciate any help at all with this. Thanks!
Enter adb shell from your pc:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh.bin /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh
rm -rf /system/etc/safestrap
rm /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt
ln -s /firmware/image/q6.mdt /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt
mount -o remount,ro /system

Thanks a lot for your reply. This is a very time consuming process, and I'm still having trouble.
When I'm in the command prompt screen from sdk\PlatformTools and enter the first line of code su I get an error message saying "su is not recognized as an internal or external command"
btw, I entered command adb devices to make sure S3 is connected, and based on reply, it appears to be. I have attached a jpg showing both of the above situations. If you or anyone has an idea how to solve this glitch, I'd appreciate it!
Full code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh.bin /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh
rm -rf /system/etc/safestrap
rm /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt
ln -s /firmware/image/q6.mdt /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt
mount -o remount,ro /system
Thank You!!!

Anyone manage to install it successfully without losing root. If so, how?
No, same problem, pushed the 2.3 apk to apps, after that not in launcher anymore and root completely gone.
Messed around for 2 hours now with X10root.apk, the runme batch file and at last manually. Don't know which method actually did it, but after final reboot I got rooted again and Superuser was visible again in Launcher.
I think the Donut Version of Superuser 2.3 is a fail, got 2.2 now, I think from Angelos pack but not sure.
Yeah, that's my experience too. The root .apk fixed it up for me again.
I've heard that the superuser 2.3 asks for permission for everything on the phone, is that correct?
Why would one need to upgrade to what most have using the root method? I see no reason to change whats already working fine and giving root. People never realise that newer versions dont always mean better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Works a treat
You have to remove the old Superuser.apk from /system/app/
Then add the latest Superuser.apk along with the "su" supplied using adb:
Code:
@adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
@adb push apps\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
@adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
@adb push bin\su /sdcard/su
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/su of=/system/bin/su
@adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
@adb shell rm /sdcard/su
@adb shell rm /sdcard/Superuser.apk

This also happens on my phone.
Did the same for me. Rebooted, it was fine (did it on both my x10 and nexus).
Removing the old superuser app and pushing the new one works. Thanks guys.
Can i use a terminal / file manager on X10 to copy the apk and sh binary (ofcourse after mounting rw) ?
Or i have to use "dd"?
What are the new features found in the Superuser 2.3?
2.3.1 is out and works no more FC....
yup! works fine now

Could you please tell me how to do this?
Do i have just to open my sdk on my pc and insert the comand you wrote?
I'm tryng to understand how to remove superuser from the phone because i have a X10 and X10mini, and i've a problem with the second phone and this apk.
When i downloaded from the market a new version (2.3.6.1) of this programm, all went fine with my X10.
With X10 mini, when i try to download from market superuser, i can finish to downloading this apk, but phone dosen't install it.
A messagge appear sayng the package is not signed.
So maybe i thought it could depends from older version that's installed on X10 mini. Am i doing right removing the old version for installing new one? Or mine is another kind of issue?
And in general, is this still the right method (and the only one) to remove superuser.apk from Xperia phones?
Thanks
thank you!

Market updated me to 2.3.6.1, Titanium still runs, so still rooted.
I'm trying to push an apk there but I can't get permission. I tried using this:
Code:
adb shell mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
but it told me "operation not permitted". I got that code from the one click root.
What am I doing wrong?
When in the sdk tools directory but not in adb do;
adb push C:\file.apk /sdcard/file.apk
then open shell
adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
now you are mounted. Just move the file
mv /sdcard/file.apk /system/app/file.apk
Thanks

Hey, I installed BT5 arm on the Motorola Xoom wifi and i would like to know how to completely remove it from my device. My device is rooted and i have tried to delete the whole BT5 file with astro file manager and absolute file manager but neither of them worked. I was wondering if anyone knows another way of doing it.
I tried deleting it with commands in terminal emulator but its a read only file. Wouldn't chmod help with that? If so how would i use it?

Go read the backtrack 5 thread. There is a link on how to remove it. That really should be the first thing you check before asking
ok thanks, ill do that the next time i have a problem
I couldn't find it. I think it might be a tiamat BT5 img and i have the remover tool but im not quite sure how to use it. I just flashed it like i would do with a rom but it says installation failed. what would i do to fix that?

Common knowledge - system must be set to RW
Here is an alternate route- manually
How To:
ADB Shell Folder Removal - (we will use BT5 as an example)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Connect Xoom to pc
2. Boot into recovery
3. Toggle to internal storage as /sdcard
4. mount /data
Enter adb shell via pc
(cd to file location) in this case BT5, is in the sdcard directory
Code:
Code:
cd /sdcard #
(once typed, you will be at.... /data/media prompt)
if after the above command and you are not at the /data/media prompt start over)
Code:
Code:
rm -r BT5
(BT5 is the stubborn Folder)
*Side note ... This works for any other stubborn folder that you want to delete as well...
USE AT YOU OWN RISK - MAKE SURE YOU DO A BACKUP FIRST
If this was helpful Hit The Thanks!
it didnt work it said that rm failed for BT5, permission denied

I looked up on google how to mount system rw and thats where [email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system came from. then i tried rm -r BT5 after that and it was still denied. so i tried to
do chmod 777 BT5 to give all permissions and then when i tried to remove it again it was still denied.
I looked up the permissions of the file and its set to rwxrwxr-x. so chmod apparently didn't work

You need ADB:
get the original images:
Code:
$ adb pull adb pull /system/logo/ logo/
change the png with your favorite painting program.
Write them back:
Code:
$ adb shell "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system"
$ adb push shutdown.png /system/logo/
$ adb push standby.png /system/logo/
$ adb shell "mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system"
Details: mount remounts the system-partition rw and at the end again ro (read-only).
After reboot you will see the new images:
Code:
$ adb shell "shutdown -r now"
