I've run those drivers on a few different machines. They don't use HTC Sync, so it's one less thing to worry about.
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
Ahh nvm, again thanks for the link. those are correct. thanks sir
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
WTF??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You better not be screwing with me smith!
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
ok i ran the script, now i have no connection to my network? no 3g/4g at all.. what did i do wrong?

The apps were disabled correctly though. just lost all connection.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
No he's not. HTCDev is allowing bootloader unlock now. Still S-ON but a hell of a start.

Do it soon incase they back out. It will force a factory reset so allow time to get reset
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yep, just did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLLY ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAME ON FELLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you like CleanTOOL, you are gonna love CleanROM!
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Hahaha, when do I ever...NilsP ran it already. I trust him. So get on the horse, it's time to ride.

Did you add anything to the script? Check for errors running the script and report back. Then reboot your phone and see if your connection comes back. You can always re-root the phone(but since we have an unlock method and permanent root, you may just want to hold on).
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
someone seems happy...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
You have no clue... I am tempted to call in sick to work right now... So tempted...
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
haha i am at work. and wish i could go home :P so, what does this new development mean for you guys? This isn't S-off correct? will it help you guys get closer to s-off?

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

ahh i read up on it, sorry to bother ya hehe i know your excited. i guess the rom's will be on the way now?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
You dont need S-OFF when you have an unlockeds bootloader. There are some limitations but in essence you wont really care. You will be able to flash ROMS.
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
aye, gotcha. should we just go to the htc site and follow the instructions then if this is all safe and what not?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I wont say anything is safe until I do it myself.

Right now unlocking the bootloader is safe.
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
alright thanks scott, ill go check it out now then.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Agreed x 10000000
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
yep, just unlocked the bootloader here myself as well. nice

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

with the unlocked bootloader, what can we put on our phones now? superuser and such? and apps that need root? or does that need s-off as well

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

After i unlock the bootloader.. how do you get it perm rooted?
[HTC Rezound] zwolf4444:
Now that I've unlocked and perm rooted, for some reason the debload and de-sense options don't seem to work.
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
Now that we have perm root lemme just say thanks scrosler for keeping us debloated in the meantime. Your a rockstar
[HTC Rezound] mpetruzz:
I used Cleantool but now that we can unlock the bootloader i had a question. Do I need to use the tool again and enable the bloatware and sense before I use the HTC tool??

I figured Id ask first before I screwed up my phone.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Nope just head right over and get to unlocking.

Verizon Resound unlocked rooted and debloated
[HTC Rezound] mpetruzz:
Since I already used Cleantool to disable the bloat, is there going to be much of a benefit to install CleanROM and get rid of it??
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Well I like having full root, and being able to change the rest of the OS. CleanROM is really just 1-up from using the CleanTool. You get back some application space and Scott has some power saving tweaks. So yeah there are definite benefits
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Is there anyone out there that works for Verizon that can help me with an account issue? I am at the point I am going to port my number back to Sprint and send all this hardware back tomorrow and Verizon CSR's are not helping in the least.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
What's going on with your account?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
The problem stems form buying a phone from a thirdparty (radioshackwireless.com), porting the number after the phones arrives, then exchanging the phone.

Basically Radioshackwireless.com refuses to believe me that the line is still active. They see in VZW's system that the line is closed when in fact its just a number change. Because of htis they will *NOT* send me a replacement phone. So I have a line of service with no phone.

Radioashack tells me to contct VZW and have them change the number back. That poses two major issues...

1) I need the damn number, thats why I ported it.

2) VZW cant just do that! They cannot assign a specific number to a phone.

First and Second person at VZW said to deal with RadioShack. You bought the phone from them so this is your problem.

Radioshack says, no, this is an issue with VZW not porting the number correctly and untill they update Radioshack with the info they cannot help and are basically keeping my wifes phone hostage.

So I called VZW back and had decided to just close the account but I spoke with someone at VZW in the "Loayalty" dept. She said she would call radioshack personally tomorrow and get it straightended out.

If she gets it fixed as is well! If not... Well, I have back up plan but yet this cost more money... That would be port my number to google voice ($20.00) and that will kill the VZW contract with no penalty because of Christmas season but I will still have to pay a $35.00 restock fee. This is really starting to get expensive all because I changed my telephone number. This is not fair to me in any way shape or form. No one ever said, and yes I read all the fine print, that I had to keep the same number. Not to mention I have to then buy another phone on contract and port the number back. This is just way to much crap.

So with that being said...

Cross your fingers!
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
This is why I always go through the corporate stores and not Worst Buy or Idiot Shack. If I have a problem with ANYTHING related to Verizon, it's easier to track it down.

Either way I hope it gets resolved, don't want to see a developer go because of a simple account issue.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I agree. I learned the hardware. But see next post!!!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Verizon and Radioshack finally got together and fixed my issue! I am very pleased with the outcome but the processes behind it were a bit absurd. I guess in the end I got what I wanted though. Shouldn’t have had to jump through 50 hoops to get it.

So relieved!
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Good stuff man!
[HTC Rezound] Pico:
Thank You so much for this, My Rezound is now Bloat Free

ok im trying to backup with titanium but it says i have zero apps installed.... any ideas?

Change where it's looking for them at. Go to preferences and have it detect the files

[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
I noticed you said that this has temp root embedded..Is it a go for me since I'm perm rooted..Also the apps you named in your next update can i just copy and paste it to the one you have already..Just figured out temp root and perm root are the same...
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
tried and tried its not working. Im perm rooted on vista
[HTC Rezound] notetcetera:
If I disable SenseUI will I still be able to use the widgets(i.e. Weather, Contact Grid, etc)?
[HTC Rezound] drivie:
Boy do I feel like an idiot. I've been attempting to run this utility on my Rezound for the last hour and I cannot get it to succeed.

- I'm running Windows 7

- I downloaded and installed the latest HTC Drivers

- The phone is recognized by Windows

- I have enabled USB debugging

- I have enabled Unknown Sources on the phone

- I have run the .BAT file by right-clicking and selecting Run as Administrator

- I tried both Charge only and HTC Sync options

I edited the batch file to allow it to echo all commands and I"m not seeing any errors while it's running however a restart of the phone reveals that everything is still in the app drawer and background processes are still running for apps such as Facebook.

Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Drivie
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
The phone needs to be in charge only. Check your computer and make sure HTC sync is not on.
[HTC Rezound] drivie:
Thanks for the reply, as I mentioned, I tried the phone in both charge only and HTC sync modes. I don't have the HTC Sync app installed on the PC.
[HTC Rezound] drivie:
WOW! I could not be any more stupid. I'm sorry to have wasted anyone's time with my post. I finally realized what I was doing wrong after parsing through the batch file. I didn't realize that temp root wasn't being achieved as part of the "Disable All Bloat" option and that I needed to select the "Temp Root" option prior to running any of the other scripts. Hopefully this will help anyone else who's as "dain bramaged" as I am.

[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Hey Scott,

I successfully ran this on stock rooted when I first got my phone. I attempted to rerun this on the updated stock rooted phone and it goes through the process , I reboot , but nothing changed . Any reason this shouldn't work on the update ?
[HTC Rezound] Viper32:
Well glad I read your comment was fixing to do the same thing, I will wait to see what Scott says on this before attempting......

Viper
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Actually, viper..I just used root explorer and manually deleted the apps I wanted to remove out of system app. I forgot he originally wrote this before we had perma root.

Still curious why it didn't work though.
[HTC Rezound] Viper32:
sent ya PM.....

Viper
[HTC Rezound] Viper32:
Scott,

I tried this also and it will not work anymore, hopefully you get a chance to look at it soon.......

Viper
[HTC Rezound] spaceboyusa:
Same result here. Tried to run this on stock root after getting my OTA this morning and it won't work. I was careful to ensure I followed all required steps, and still no luck. The issue appears to be centered around the .bat no longer being able to copy files\su and files\busybox. Happy to provide additional detail if necessary.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I'm definitely looking at this too.

Some of us don't want to unlock/root our phones for various reasons but the cleanTool provided us a way to at least be debloated...
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Clean Tool not working

Scott,

My phone is completely stock--never rooted. I did update the OTA yesterday. I went through the procedure as outlined several times and no bloat is removed.

I am getting an error message related to "daemon".

We would appreciate any advice you might give,

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Any chance for a fix.

Scott

Since it seems you are working on a dozen things at the same time, is there any chance you might be able to fix CleanTools. It seems like a great solution for those of us who don't want to unlock or root right now. Not sure when you sleep now!

Thanks for any advice.
[HTC Rezound] jojodablow:
I too would if you could. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Yes, I would ask the same...I can't get the OTA to run, and the only reason I can think of is I used the clean tool, even though others who did seem to not have this problem...I tried to "re-bloat" It said it did, but nothing changed...I am baffled...
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Create a Nandroid in Recovery, relock the phone, RUU back to stock, take the OTA, unlock the phone, reinstall Root and Recovery, restore Nandroid. Will take you about 30 minutes or so and you will have everything back the way it was, but with the new radio, etc...
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I appreciate the advice, but I am completely stock and plan to not mess around with this phone for awhile, but I did want to be de-bloated...I may just return to factory settings. I assume that would undo this so I could get the update. It starts to update, but nothing ever happens and my numbers don't change...
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Scott, HELP

Any chance for a comment on the status of CleanTool. As you can see there is a lot of interest in it but with all the ROMs out, it is now a very low priority.

Again, thanks for all your efforts.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Temp root was busted by the ota . Clean tool might not function properly until that is solved.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I did a factory reset so I could the OTA and that worked, but I would love to debloat again
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
You'd have to unlock and perm root as it stands. The up side is you could truly debloat rather than just disabling.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Why does this method rely on TEMP root? If the phone is perm rooted, why does it need temp root?
[HTC Rezound] stumpie:
Another vote for CleanTOOL ...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
You just need root, temp or perm...doesn't matter which. The problem is that you can no longer use CleanTool to achieve temp root.
[HTC Rezound] jtwebfusion:
I'm trying to download CleanTool from Scottsrom.com, but it's telling me that I need to register in order to download and registration has been disabled by the administrator. Is there a mirror to download CleanTool?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
his site is down right now....
[HTC Rezound] Bellerophr0n:
I kind of feel stupid asking this. But I can't find the tool on the site to download.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
Does this exist anymore?
[HTC Rezound] carl1961:
if you go to the "Rezound Android Development" then look for "[TOOL] - CleanTOOL 2.1.1 - 12/12 - The Relentless Pursuit of Clean!" thread and click on the paper clip you'll usually find the attached files

CleanTool.zip
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
If you want to know the name of a package, copy it to a zip file(you don't have to do this part but it helps if you're bringing the file back to windows). Extract the zip and look in the AndroidManifest.xml file. It will have a line that starts with

<manifest package="com.blah.blah.blah" ....

That is the information you need to use the disable commands in this script.
[HTC Rezound] narodk:
I'm sorry but you lost me there. Is there an app that can do this? What is a manifest package?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Ok sorry, no there isn't an app that I know of that can read the manifest. Don't worry about what it is, just suffice it to say that it contains information pertinent to the installation and use of a given application. If you'd like more detailed directions I can give them to you.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
While I am not getting the "ADB out of date" message anymore...I am still seeing there is a problem when attempting to mount /system to push busybox (if I am seeing this correctly).

EDIT: I ran the .bat file one more time after the error and it worked this time, however, there were some apps that did not get removed. I am going to play with this to remove some additional apps.

Thank you sooo much for this!
[HTC Rezound] narodk:
If you can that would be very helpful. Thank You!
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I PM'd you so I don't clutter up the thread.
[HTC Rezound] narodk:
Got it Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Arent manifaest files compiled? IDK... I always just decompile so I never checked. IF thats the case I could have saved a hell of a lot time, ahahahahah

Well, thats better than nothing I gues, lol

Glad you got it going though.

After doing this I just feel so much more "Clean"

When I booted up for the first time yesterday I was a bit dissapointed with all the bloat on here.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Some is absolutely better than none. I haven't had my phone for a full 24hrs yet so I'm very happy to have this done and over 250mb free now.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I know man,I know... I got my phone right before I left for a 12 hour shift at work yesterday... And was like in total freak mode every time I opened my app drawer. I couldnt take it. Within 30 minutes of being home I had this tool uploaded for everyone.

You like this little tool.... Wait till I put out CleanROM for the Rezound! Its gonna be slammin. You check my portfolio of Work on my site, www.scottsroms.om

Argualble some of the cleanest, fastest, most stable ROMS for the devices I currnently Dev on.

I cant wait for S-OFF. When I starting on my ROM.. I said... Wow... This device will be 100% improved when I get done with!

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] bjames23:
Great tool man. It's sketchy about working all the time but run it enough times and it works. At least that's how I accomplished it. Thanks a lot and you definitely have my thanks!

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Good deal man! Feels good now doesnt it? lol
[HTC Rezound] crupp:
Cann't wait for this. Finally got "clean" to work. I was still getting the "killing" prompt but script ran and all is good. thanks for the help.
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
Thanks man, great work. Makes waiting for s-off a little easier.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yes, helps take the edge off.
[HTC Rezound] nrage23:
It took a few tries but I finally got it to work. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Good stuff, huh?
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
I did the same thing before I got mine.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Hey SCott, just got home from work and bolted to my PC to run this, and the same thing happens to me just like the other Temp Root Methods we have, I get the error "ADB server out of date....Killing".......any idea why I keep getting this? Iver never had this error before even with my EVO....any suggestions would be great from anyone for thatr matter.....TIA!!!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Does it freeze at that error or does it continue?
[HTC Rezound] jmart518:
Hey reverepats, being very new to Android, I fought with Temp root for a while and this is what I did to get past that:

--Navigate to C:\Program Files(Program Files (x86) depending on your system)\HTC\HTC Sync 3.0

--Backup/rename files: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll to adb.exe.BAK, AdbWinApi.dll.BAK, AdbWinUsbApi.dll.BAK

--Copy the same three files that are in your folder that you extracted from the first post and paste them in C:\Program Files(Program Files (x86) depending on your system)\HTC\HTC Sync 3.0

--Run it and you should be good to go. Hopefully this makes sense and helps some people out.

On another note, thanks for the script scrosler, this makes things very easy!
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
No it doesnt freeze at all!!....Hang on, lemme run it again and ill show u what i mean. ill post a SS
[HTC Rezound] crupp:
I had the same issue the second time it went through, with the same "killing" message.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
JEEEEEEEZZZZZ>......I ran it again but "Xed" out of the WIndow before i took the ScrrenShot LOL.....but this is the 4th time running it and I rebooted before each time. Even followed the Directions HEHE.....i dunno, its not that big of a deal tho.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
But did it work?
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
No unfortuneately it didnt. in between each process that runs in the Command Window it will give me that error...ill do it again and not exit out of the window this time LOL
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Strange how it doesnt work on your phone....

That error is perfectly normal. It happens on each one because of the way the phone connects and reconnts. That error is not indicative of the problem.

But yeah, post a screenie and i will help you figure it out.
[HTC Rezound] transws6am:
This worked great for me! Thank you very much!
[HTC Rezound] JAYNO20:
Worked pretty well for me, next best thing to root! Is there any chance of getting "stocks," "news," "verizon video," and "V cast media manager" removed as well?
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
Hey I managed to kill all running apps with Rom Toolbox...after getting to the temp root stage b4 beginning the cleansing

.... that then went smoothly ...kudos.... any thoughts how to prevent market updates from reinstalling the "cleansed" apps?
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
This was happening to me also but I realized in my system tray there was an HTC Sync icon with a red X over it. Once I closed that I didn't get the ADB error.

EDIT: Here's the post from the member in NilsP Temp Root thread:
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
OK here it is...hopefully its something easy to fix this for me:D...thanks gents!!!
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Ohhh yeah i got that too.....well lemme try that then...BRB

EDIT>....AHHHHHHH....its working HAHA....yeah it was cause of the HTC SYNC icon in the app tray....thanks brotha
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yep, was just gonna say... Shut down HTC sync. I will update the OP so others may not have to go through the fustration. I never have that garbage-ware installed. I have just the drivers....

So how do you shut it down? I have never even seen it before, lol

Oh, and I am happy for you! Feels good now? Not so violated by VZW, huh? lol
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Oh and right now I got this thing up to 450 Megs free RAM :eek:

What are you guys getting?
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Scott. You are officially my new favorite person. EVER
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Hahahahahahaha... Wait till you see CleanROM ;)
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Finally got home to play around a bit on the big(ger) screen. I see HTC mail running for no reason. Time to come up with the other sense related packages that are running without a purpose.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Do you use any email on your phone?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Found the following HTC process slithering around. I know a few can be silenced...mail being one of them. Anyone know if any of the others can be killed safely?

[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
yeah im pretty stoked about it HAHA....and i dont wanna speak too soon but no Temp Root (at least for me) has lasted this long. Down in the bottom right (Win7) you click the arrow to pop-up the Tray that shows whats currently Open/Running, and you'll see the HTC Sync logo. Right-Click and select Exit. Thanks again Scott

EDIT....Is anyone else getting FCs with the SU?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Im doing this form memoery while working so if I am wrong politely correct me....

com.htc.weatheridlescreen <-Weather Lockscreen

com.htc.launcher <- HTC Launceher... Sense!

com.htc.home.personalize <-Personalize service for Sense

com.htc.bgp <---- Hmmm not sure on this one.

com.htc.android.htcime:provider <-Sense keyboard

com.htc.task <- That task program?

com.htc.mim <- Mobile Messaging

com.htc.sdm <- Not sure?

com.htc.android.mail <- Seems like Mail?

com.htc.usagemonitor <- I dont know but I dont like the sounds of it!

com.htc.android.worldclock <- World Clock app. Needed for alarms to go off on schedule

com.htc.dockmode <- Detects when phone has been docked.

com.htc.reportagent <-That certinaly has to go!!!

com.htc.htcMessageUploader <-MMS?

You can try killing the mail but... IDK, never heard of anyone shutting down a core processes. Let us know how it goes!
