Hey guys, today, I was following a guide where there were all the bloatwares I can safely remove. I uninstalled them, but when I restarted, and I did wipe partition cache accidentally. As I restarted it, it stuck on Samsung flashing logo without booting up. I'm sure I probably erased some important elements so before I proceed again crying I want you to tell me:
How to safely disable KNOX
All the bloatwares that can be safely removed from my Galaxy running Kitkat 4.4.2
How to optimize my phone in developer options (I tweaked some settings there so I suspect that this may have screwed up my phone)
If you've ever had a related experience, just let me know what was the cause and how you've managed to fix it
Thanks in advance

I will save you the details of what I was thinking and why. But I rooted through Kingo and using nobloat I uninstalled a handful of apps, mainly what I saw listed as safe to remove. Then I had to do a factory reset on my phone and I did it without thinking and now everything I blocked is gone.
When it first came back up I had no touchwiz or Samsung keyboard. I had to plug in an external keyboard and install Nova Launcher before I could even use my home screen.
So I'm back up on a non-rooted phone (removed Kingo root) with my knox not tripped. However it fails to install updates. I have no warranty left on this device.
Is there any way to get ota updates to work again or did I need it up to badly? I have also lost kies so I think that eliminates all other ways to update the phone. I have android 4.3
Should I just leave well enough alone? Is there as way to get this phone back to pristine? Should I even be concerned with future updates? Do I just figure out how to properly root this device and install a 4.4.2 rom?
Thoughts and suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Tried to enable private mode on my s5 and it started failing. I was rooted and had posed. Reset the pose settings to stock, still didn't work. Unrooted phone in supersu, and uninstalled all the apps i had that were root apps. Still nothing. Multiple reboots, a battery pull, nothing happening. Can anyone suggest me anything outside of a factory reset.
Restoring a backup from before you had rooted it?
You haven't provided any meaningful amount of information in aid of narrowing this down.
Which means that people can only make wild guesses.
What is your Knox status?
What root method did you use?
Did you install Xposed framework or use a custom ROM that includes Xposed?
Did you edit build.prop or use a custom ROM that has modified that file?
Have you frozen any system apps e.g. with Greenify or Titanium?

Hello.
I've just rooted the phone and I wanted to uninstall upps I don't use. It's something I always did with my previous phone but now I'm having troubles at doing it with this one.
I have a galaxy a3 2016, SM-A310F, android 7.
Firstly I had tried with system app remover as I always did, but even though the app seemed to work good, bloatwares were neither frozen nor removed. So I tried with titanium backup and it worked pretty good.
First time: I had removed some safe apk (microsoft, vodafone, some samsung, some google apps), but at boot the phone was soft bricked. Strange.
Second time: I removed only microsoft apps, vodafone apps and s health. Soft bricked. Stranger.
Third time: I removed ONLY microsoft apps and s health, gain bricked.
Not being able to remove unwanted apps is just something I hate. I deactived some of them via standard app manager, but samsung and vodafone apps cannot me deactivated...
There is definetely something wrong. Even when I was younger I removed apps and never got a brick. Why now? I don't think microsoft apps are vital to the phone. May it be a titanium backup problem?
Thanks
EDIT: Oh, all of this happened when I upgrade from android 6 to 7. Before I had removed many apps with no problem
We all had that problem when N came. I tried everything without succes , on pure stock.
Then I tried to make rom with assayyed kitcken to make it deodexed. Thought maybe that was the problem...Same problem still.
Then I found a way to update smalis in assayyed to make it compatible with N, deodexed, deknoxed, edited both build.prop and kernel ramdisk to remove knox related stuff.
All good. Seems like pure stock can't be tampered with withput softbrick.
Thank you for the answer. Now I know it wasn't my fault
Hi,
using stock nougat with security patch from october, latest release, debloating the rom with titanium, only safe apps i thought, live wallpaper, chrome, excel, power point....
..device stuck on bootscreen, that samsung galaxy a6 one before second step samsung letters animated appear.
while on first try i removed knox, my interests, samsung billing and so on ending in stuck boot i second try only deleted these office things and chrome again on reboot i get stuck.
many people offer lists for apps safe to remove which contain even more system apps and it works?
disable in titanium and hit restart, is that maybe the wrong way?
booting in twrp and doing a wipe does not give me a boot back(
There might be something wrong with your code that you execute while you flash the zip, or maybe you removed something important.

Hi All,
Need help on the following -
Uninstalled some system bloatware - JoyUI 11.20.04.22 from my Black Shark 2 SKW-H0 using this guide - method 2
Bootloader locked.
After rebooting - all uninstalled apps are back - how can I permanently remove them without rooting.
I know they'll be back after OTA - but before I update, how can I remove them so that they don't come back after reboot.
All help is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
The only way to remove a system file permanently is through a process that requires a rooted device. If you managed to root your device, you can use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp. However, JOYUI10 and JOYUI11 have this process on boot that checks for a missing system app. If it detects that at least a single system app is removed permanently, it will go into bootloop. I've tried it on my BS2. Good thing its bootloader is unlocked so I've managed to fix it. Disabling the app is the best way possible.
Is Rooting the only option?
It seems rooting is the only option for permanent removal of Loggers/bloatware?
No work around ...?
