Sideloading Wonder Machine taken Down

It would appear that even on the website (which shows At&T blocked apps) that the sideloading wonder machine is gone.
Dang! wish I had got the sideloading machine.

isnt it still available at android central? Those are the guys who wrote it, I thought...

if at was at androidcentral then you would have to sideload it, completely defeating the purpose.

Why don't you just put the .apk on your phone and install it?

that's sideloading. Anything other than a direct market download is sideloading, and blocked by At&T

Yea...that's what I'm saying. Enable side loading it takes like 30 seconds. It's more of a hassle to use wonder machine.

They moved it to only be available on their forum. You have to create a username/password, but the links then become available for download.

But I can't Sideload due to At&T so how can I download it from their website. That's sideloading?
I'm confused....

lol....The Side load wondermachine stays on your computer. You download an .APK file oyu want, plug the phone in and it will side load it to your phone for you. You do not place the APK on the phone at all.
There is also a video on how to use the program:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzs_1DeSgWI&feature=player_embedded
Quote from the website:
"Installation:
Unzip the SWM folder to a conveinent place on your Windows computer. The program, and all files inside the SWM folder need to stay together.
You will need to install the USB driver for your model of Android device. Information about this can be had from your carrier, or from your device manufacturer.
Usage:
Ensure that USB debugging is enabled on your Android device. For most devices, this can be found in menu>settings>applications>development
Plug your Android device into a high speed USB port on your computer.
Start the application, and browse to the apk file you would like to install by clicking the "Choose a file" button.
Once you have chosen the apk to install, the "Go" button will be enabled. Click it, and you'll see the command window which prompts you as it installs the file. "

Root the phone. It's completely safe. If you follow DG's instructions on the thread it's pretty much idiot proof too. And then sideloading will be enabled!
edit: a bunch of other things will be enabled too. and he also has an unroot script there for you.

Yeah, I don't really get this. Download SuperOneClick. You can root your phone and enable sideloading all at once. If you ever want to go back SuperOneClick will also unroot your phone as well. There's no danger doing it this way.

SuperOneClick isn't the best way to root and enable your phone. There is an issue with Busybox. Designergears recommends using aroot to root and enable sideloading. If you used SuperOneClick to root...simply unroot it.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about software to use superoneclick and such.

Hey, i think the best way for you is to do it like it says in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981866
except if you have a bell atrix, i think than youll have to wait a bit so the devs make it for it (im not sure if its a problem tho)

use aroot. I rooted with super one click and also clicked enable outside apps but it didn't work. I then used aroot and everything worked fine.

You didnt try the Sideload wonder machine? Check out all the links and instructions I posted. It is really easy, especailly if you dont trust yourself enough to root the phone.

Seriously, he posts that the SWM is down but I don't think he even knows what the SWM is.
And for everyone telling him to root, transferring files with SWM is so much easier that rooting just for side loading is kind of a waste.

You can also sideload via adb without root.

I've used wonder machine and worked beautifully.

you can always use Droidexplorer or adb
and if you can navigate this website and consciously comprehend what is being discussed (aka process the text on the screen in your mind) you should be able to follow DGs root method

[Q] How to get rid of the update notification?

I understand that when you do an OTA update while rooted and/or have a custom recovery, it breaks the phone. As some of you may or may not know, Verizon has released a knew update to prepare for XLTE. I want to know how to get rid of this notification. Is there any way?

i've never touched hidden menu setting for ota... didn't even knew it existed

Yes, it's there and I disabled it but again, there is no update from AT&T so I can't verify that option works or not.
Maybe, freezing it using TB will add another layer of security? or maybe it's over-killed.

I don't see anything in Titanium that resembles anything from that list. I have a Verizon phone: and its very different.
I still very much would like someone who knows something about Verizon phones to help me!

I don't have Titanium, but I was able to freeze and eliminate the notification by Force Stoping System Update, clearing the Cache, then using ES File Explorer to rename /system/app/LGDMSClient.apk to LGDMSClient.apk.bak no more nag!

Cannot re-enable apps that I've disabled.

I have a thing against having lots of apps in my app drawer that I never use. I always go through and disable ones that I won't need. Well, I disabled some of the ZTE apps like My Voice, and now I can't re-enable them. When I go to app info, it shows "disabled" on the list for the app, but when I tap it, there is an "enable" button that is grayed out.
I'd like to be able to do this without factory resetting the phone.

If you can get ADB running to connect the phone to the PC try this
adb shell pm list packages -d
adb shell pm unhide package.Name

:laugh: looks like we are all here , by the way wont work (unhide command) needs to be " pm enable " and requires system access (root) "Permission Denial" , i try with a disabled app(s), just hope we get that update soon to avoid all this problems
P.S. yeah i'm the guy from ZTE forum

Haha good to see you guys!

Too bad on the ADB pm cmd, i was 50/50 on it working

Looks like you ran directly from terminal emulator. I'm not sure, but ADB shell might run under a different UID and have more permissions. This might have changed in MM, but you could use pm command to grand permission to Greenify package on non rooted devices

Was there ever a fix for this? I am running into the same issue and can't re-enable apps.

Are you sure about this? I have seen posts on ZTE board saying that apps can no longer be enabled/disabled with B27. With B20 you can at least do disabling (I am not sure about enabling).

some you can some you can't. you can disable ZTE browser, but can't disable ZTE calendar or ZTE messanger for instance.

For disabling apps, are you using a different launcher?
Launch the Stock Android launcher and disable apps through the app drawer - I've successfully disabled ZTE calendar and messenger on my device.
Re-enabling seems another problem altogether though..

B27 can still be rooted and bootloader unlocked. No real reason not to update.

no such love for B27

That was something else that was changed.
On B20, if you disabled apps in Settings > Apps, sometimes you would not be able to re-enable them.
(What you're talking about) On B20, if you use the Stock Android theme, if you press and hold on an application icon, there's a "Disable" option at the top of the screen that you can drag the icon to. Using this method, you could disable apps that you couldn't via Settings > Apps, such as the ZTE Calendar and Messaging apps. However, this allowed you to disable things that could cause issues with the device, such as disabling Settings or the Dialer. If you disabled apps this way, you could not re-enable them via Settings > Apps.
On B27, you can still disable apps in Settings > Apps, and people haven't reported having issues re-enabling them.
On B27, the "Disable" option in the Stock Android theme has been removed. So while you're not able to disable some stock apps, you cannot accidentally disable something that could break the OS.

Thanks - hadn't noticed that difference with B27 till now.
However, I've disabled the stock clock, and can no longer re-enable it through the App settings.
There does appear to be another solution (I haven't tried it though) - from the App settings, if you select the 3 dot menu on the top right, the option to reset app preferences should re-enable apps (and reset other settings as well).

Did you disable it back in B20? Cause when I look at the stock clock in B27 on my device, the disable option is greyed out.

(SOLVED) How to remove amazon crap? (boost mobile XT1766 variant)

Edit: solved
I rooted and wiped the phone. Installed Lineage and PicoGapps and the LTE fix. Perfection. Highly recommend this delight of a phone. ?
Original post for reference:
Sorry if this has been answered but I'm using the XDA app traveling and can't seem to find it. I purchased the $50 Moto e4 boost version from Best buy and no matter what I do, I can't seem to permanently disable amazon apps.
I disable them and when I restart the device, low and behold they are back again. Is there a way to disable these apps permanently through ADB or some other jazz? Or should I just root?

Yeah, ya gotta root and delete them from the oem partition if you want them completely gone. But you should be able to disable them with adb without root.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 "package name"
Without quotes and where package name is the actual package name.
Usually disabling them in settings/apps (show system) will disable them until you re enable them yourself.

Strangely I disable them and they re enable themselves upon boot up. Not sure why. Usually most phones you disable apps and they stay disabled. Clearly something is installed by boost that makes them reenable.
Thanks, I will try ADB.

Sorry for the Ninja double reply.
I have managed to disable via your method several apps except for three: boost zone, boost Mobile I'd and mobile installer. These are the apps causing the phone upon restart to redownload bloatware and enable disabled bloatware. When I try disabling them via adb, it simply says failure. Do disabling these require root?

Probably. It's mobile ID that changes the home screens around. It usually doesn't install anything except for home screen shortcuts. I wasnt able to disable that one without root. try using a different launcher ( I use nova). Zone let's you check for prl and profile updates, and I pay my bill in it (virgin mobile).

Update:
I followed a guide online and unlocked the boot, installed twrp and rooted the phone. Removed boosts pre installed Android version because no matter what tool I used I couldn't delete their apps. So I installed lineageOS. Having issues with 4G and can only get 3g.

Yeah that's a well documented problem on CDMA carriers. A few ppl are working on it. There is a sort of fix if you check the guides, news section.

We all do dude.(pay for lte) But LTE is fairly broken on sprint and all it's mvno's (boost, virgin, etc.)on custom roms. You can try the fix but no guarantees. Only sure way is stock. I've debloated stock, and using Xposed with gravitybox. All the customization I need. And everything works. All bloat can be removed. Most of it is /oem, that's why root apps don't get rid of it. Some things in /system are required to keep it running.

Root the device, backup the apps with Titanium Backup, Freeze the apps and see if there are any behavioral issues with them, and remove them if freezing them doesn't yield error.
As for the Data issues you are experiencing, check out this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/perry-real-lte-fix-custom-roms-t3752036
I plan on testing this with the rom you have on Boost Mobile as soon as it's done downloading.

How to delete system update files?

Okay so here is the deal. I connected my phone to my home wifi to adjust some settings to shut off my internet at night so the kids will go to bed... well be more likely to go to bed when they can't just sit and watch youtube/netflix all night. Personally I don't think they need tablets or entertainment to fall asleep, but they are my fiance's kids, and it is what it is because they have used this method for so long.
Anyway enough personal stuff, when I connected my phone, it downloaded a system update. I could not stop it, and now it is bugging me to restart and update but I dont want to. I can delay it, up to 9 times, for a later time, but I want to delete the update files entirely.
I was hoping there would be a way to do it without root, but I am fairly certain that at this point, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and install the update

When I disabled this the entire settings option for system update disappears, and back in early March when I was still holding out for a Snapdragon root my phone auto downloaded an update and gave me a persistent notification about installing update. Disabling this made it go away and it couldn't auto-install it.
You can install App Inspector to see a searchable list of every app on your phone, including the package name you need for adb.
BTW, there's an option in developer options that will let you disable auto-installing updates on restart.
