[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebz4n:
Hello!

I am currently in Greece on holidays and I am trying to play The wolf among us on my Nexus 5, but I need to use GLtools to get past the black screen error there currently try is.

I do however not want to root and reinstall my phone, and have no pc.

Is there a way to temp root my phone with an app or so? I seem to remember doing that on my older phones
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There is no temp root.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:

It's not a temp root but it accomplishes what you're looking for: rooting your phone without your PC and without wiping your data.

As the article mentions make sure to install SuperSU or Superuser right after running it because it does allow root globally by default.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebz4n:
That was super easy and worked like a charm, thank you
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howard bamber:
Any root is temporary. Put in stock recovery via TWP app. Take out SU~BB =stock

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The definition of temp root is you have root until you reboot only. But sure, by your reckoning, the word permanent doesn't exist.
[AT&T LG G3] sn707:
Well I hate carrier IQ and just today I finally got it to 0 using Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector. I got some of it right away using the old G2 method, but I still was not clean so I spent a couple days poking around. Finally I found LADDM.apk.

You need ROOT, this is for the Att version.

Apps:

Android Tuner

Root Explorer (I think Android Tuner has a root exploer too)

More details from adiliyo (Thanks)

ok, for people who are new to this, here is how i did it

download android tuner

click on application manager

click / pivot to apps tab

click the button on the bottom that says user and it will change to system

longpress on android system

click open

click details

pivot to all the tabs and uncheck anything with carrier iq in it

remove lib files

uninstall apk mentioned

presto!

Using Android Tuner go to Apps then Android System. Go through and uncheck all Carrier IQ listings.

Then find LADDM.apk and delete it (Backup first is advised). This is a nasty app, all carrier IQ as far as I can tell and check out the permissions before you delete it, it really looks at how you use your phone.

I also went into System/lib and backed up then deleted the 2 carrier IQ files in there.

Reboot and then run Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector!

Here is my log:

This works great! You should also post this guide in the ATT G3 section.

[AT&T LG G3] ElBeaner:
Never used Android Tuner - could you give a more perceise step by step? I have no idea where you are talking about Apps then Android System
[AT&T LG G3] adiliyo:
could you list the names of the files you unchecked from android tuner as well as in system/lib ?

i haven't been able to find any suspicious files on mine aside from the apk which i uninstalled (thanks!)

EDIT:

ok, i found the libs unsing the voodoo iq detector, everything else looks clean though, all i did was delete the apk...

i only show the libs (which i will delete now) and the boot detection agent that you have still showing as well, so i'm clean?

EDIT 2: as after removing the two iq libs, i get "android system has stopped" and it just looks :( time for adb

to be clear i had removed "libiq_client.so" and "libiq_service.so" from /system/lib

replacing them got rid of the crash. what am i missing?
[AT&T LG G3] ElBeaner:
I got the same- but I am not in a place where I can add them back on FUUUUU
[AT&T LG G3] adiliyo:
if you have root explorer and didn't just delete them (i had moved them to back them up) you can slowly just copy them back (keep pushing ok and clicking on stuff before the error comes up again)

that's what i ended up doing since adb didn't want to see my phone on this computer. took like 10 minutes though...still looking for the files to remove so it works!

EDIT: added the files in case anyone deleted them and needs them
[AT&T LG G3] ElBeaner:
EDIT ok luckilyI saved them to dropbox - took a lot of quick finger movements but got them exported backa nd copied back into Sys Lib

So for anyone wanting to try this, don't just root explorer delete - just an FYI lol
[AT&T LG G3] adiliyo:

[AT&T LG G3] Pdj7969:
Thank you so much for posting these. I was a dolt and forgot to save a backup copy and just simply renamed the files.
[AT&T LG G3] adiliyo:
no problem! retyping with that error screen would have been a 3 hour process ;)
[AT&T LG G3] Pdj7969:
Thanks for the idea! Downloaded the copy of the files in the post above to my work PC, saved them to Dropbox, then spent about 10 minutes furiously tapping on my screen to go to Dropbox app, export the files to the phone, open Root Explorer, select both files, navigate to the \system\lib folder, and paste. As soon as the paste completed, the errors stopped. I think I'll wait until I get home to tinker with this some more....that was a stressful hour trying to figure out how to fix this.
[AT&T LG G3] sn707:
Nailed it thanks! I am thinking they need to be unchecked before you remove the system/lib files. Sorry that some had issues with that. I didnt have any problems that way.
[AT&T LG G3] ElBeaner:
THANK YOU - that worked perfectly.

No more carrieriq according to Voodoo
[AT&T LG G3] adiliyo:
yes, after unchecking it's all fine to remove the libs (probably because system is no longer trying to access the libs!)
[AT&T LG G3] mjgspr95:
l got boot loop and I'm pretty sure I unchecked first. I'm on Att ... same thing happened on a s5 before. I thought it was just the s5, but apparently g3 rigged to crash too without ciq. I deleted on my g2 last year and no problem... Att got smart. Trying to kdz flash as we speak.
[AT&T LG G3] adiliyo:
My guess is you missed something, I'm running with no issues after removing the libs. Did you go through all the tabs in system to get everything? I think there's like 5 or so items to uncheck.
[AT&T LG G3] noobchef:
Mine is running just fine after following the op. big thanks and an up yours to at&t.
[AT&T LG G3] mjgspr95:
got them all... maybe in conjunction with other crap I removed since rooting I goofed. Tot recluse almost done. we shall see...
[AT&T LG G3] drock212:
Here I posted screen shots of everything I've frozen along with everything I've unchecked. This should help you out a bit... Also do it in the following order.

1. Freeze laddm.apk

2. Uncheck all boxes with android tuner

3. Rename lib files to .bak extension

So I'm coming from an iPhone4 and I followed the steps and did all this. Except I just renamed the lib files to .bak but they're still showing up when I run the carrier iq checker. Do I HAVE to delete them? I figured renaming would do the trick just fine...
[AT&T LG G3] mjgspr95:
Thanks I'm back up and running. I did this process before making other changes after root. I unchecked all seven first then rebooted. Then deleted lib files and laddm app. It worked this time booted just fine. I've now done my other tweaks boot animation, xposed, deleting bloat, etc; All is well I think it may have been issue with other tweaks and this... oh well
[AT&T LG G3] yokken:
The instructions in the OP worked great for me. Thank you so much!!
[AT&T LG G3] acPIZZA:
Does android tuner need to remain installed after completing this process?
[AT&T LG G3] Pilz:
I have removed everything but I can't find diagandroid.iqd any ideas on its location?
[AT&T LG G3] Tikerz:
It's in the LADDM.apk. Just rename it or delete it.
[AT&T LG G3] Pilz:
I removed that app and voodoo still says its running. Any ideas?
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Reboot? Just guessing
[AT&T LG G3] acPIZZA:
I had to actually delete mine for voodoo to not pick it up.

Backup before you delete in tibu
[AT&T LG G3] Pilz:
I used root explorer to move a copy of it to my sd card and then I uploaded to to my google drive. Then I deleted the original from my system/app folder. It still shows diagandroid.iqd as running after a reboot.
[AT&T LG G3] 4ndroid99:
Does carrier iq drain battery life?
[AT&T LG G3] acPIZZA:
Yes
[AT&T LG G3] elmerct:
Mine too. Did you find a solution by any chance?
[AT&T LG G3] Pilz:
Yes I managed to fix it. I had to reinstall the app and delete it. Now it no longer shows up on voodoo.
[AT&T LG G3] sn707:
Glad you got it. I had to delete the apk and then reboot.After that I was all good.

[AT&T LG G3] sentry07:
Followed the op's instructions, simple and painless. Checked with Voodoo and I'm CarrierIQ free. It still shows that boot complete receiver though, I wonder where that is.
[AT&T LG G3] sn707:
Mine works without any problems.
[AT&T LG G3] sn707:
It's in the Android System. If you unchecked it then it will show in Voodoo but with a 0. Meaning it's still there but not active.
[AT&T LG G3] vince2398:
After unchecking the CarrierIQ items in Android Tuner, can Android Tuner be uninstalled or is it still needed? Thanks
[AT&T LG G3] JeffDC:
Is it possible for someone to write a script which would handle removing/deleting/unchecking these items?

Thanks OP for this. After following the instructions and successfully removing carrierIQ my battery life drastically improved. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but yesterday I had the best battery yet and was every bit as good as my G2...:good:

I also went into System/lib and backed up then deleted the 2 carrier IQ files in there.

what is the name of the 2 carrier IQ files? I couldn't find them under system/lib

[AT&T LG G3] blaker13:
Go-to system/lib then search for IQ your should get two files...back them up, or move them to your external

Worked Thanks!!!!!
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
To make sure I understand: using android tuner, uncheck carrier iq files. Then backup/remove the files I unchecked. Did I miss something? Do I need to reboot between unchecking and removing?
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
No. The options just stick after making the changes.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Trying to make sure I don't bootloop. Thanks ;)
[AT&T LG G3] blaker13:
The only files you need to back up and remove are the ones in the system/lib don't remove the android tuner ones...just uncheck them.you can even uninstall Android tuner after and it sticks.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Thanks for the advice, but I've got done. Just followed the op, one step at a time, and it went perfectly
[AT&T LG G3] blaker13:
Just want sure, seems the writing has changed.allot of people where getting confused thinking they had to backup and delete android tuner stuff.
[AT&T LG G3] countryfolk07:
You've uninstalled tuner after doing this? You are 110% sure? Only reason I ask is I've done this a couple times with crashes and bootloops. I finally got it to work, but I don't want crashes. I've backed up everything just in case, but I don't want to restore if I don't have to. Lol. I'm just OCD like that.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Use tuner to uncheck everything

Remove the 2 lib files

Remove the apk

Reboot

At this point, you're good. Eazy peazy
[AT&T LG G3] countryfolk07:
I understand that. I did that. Just wondering if after I do that, I can uninstall android tuner? Or is it required to stay on my phone to keep those services from running?
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
I uninstalled itwith no problems
[AT&T LG G3] catatonix:
No Carrier IQ here

Thanks for this. I wasn't aware of CarrierIQ and how much it collected. So glad to have this **** off my phone.

Any chance that you have the LVDDM.APK? I uninstalled it and didn't make a backup and want it just in case.

[AT&T LG G3] naes007:
Silly question, but to remove LVDDM.APK. do I dot it with android tuner or search for the file with a file explorer and remove it from their? Also to make a backup, is everyone just making a copy and saving it to a computer or ad care?
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
It's in system/app. I just deleted it,no back up. But I'm kinda wild and crazy that way
[AT&T LG G3] goldswimmerb:
Can someone tell me exactly what to uncheck? I don't want to uncheck the wrong thing. Also can I just uninstall LADDM or must I uncheck everything
[AT&T LG G3] martinezma99:
Warning!!!!

So a while back I removed carrier iq with no issues.

Today, I did a factory reset, and then faced with the dreaded 'Unfortunately Android System has stopped'.

I had to perfectly time pressing OK and navigating to Google Play and downloading android tuner.

Then, followed the directions to unchecked anything carrier iq related.

It took forever.

So think twice before a factory reset.

Edit : the solution may be as simple as reinstalling LIB files back to /system/lib
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
I' found the system/lib folder and the two IQ files...but I can't delete them! I get a message saying Successfully Deleted, but they're still there. Cannot rename them either. Any suggestions? Thanks.
[AT&T LG G3] countryfolk07:
Depending on your file manager, you need some sort of root browser, you have to mount system r/w.
[AT&T LG G3] rob219:
i removed all the carrier iq except two i couldnt find right away. i did a reboot to see if what i deleted is gone and now im stuck with android system has stopped pop up and i cant do anything.

Read my post #62
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
I have Root Explorer and it has SuperUser access. No dice. Cannot delete either the two libs or the LADDM apk.

I installed RootUser for another try, but somehow cannot seem to grant RootUsert SuperUser access.

I'm stumped. Even though all the parameters are unchecked in Android, voodoo still indicates a 270 rating.

I cannot see any option to enable read/write on Root Explorer. Where is this? not in Preferences, for rme anyway.
[AT&T LG G3] rob219:
i just flashed back using lg flash tool i couldnt do anything. i redid everything to remove the carrier iq again as well. voodoo says i have zero iq on my phone but com.carieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.bootcompletedreceiver is still there and i have no idea where its at in the system but it is on voodoo even though it says i have none detected.
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
It's like herpes, this Carrier IQ.
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
BTT-

Still stumped and can't make progress on this. Any help or advice as to why Root Explorer cannot delete the lib files (and the apk) ?
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Try using ES explorer. I've never had that problem with Root explorer myself .

You could try using Android Tuners file explorer.
[AT&T LG G3] martinezma99:
Did you try reinstalling the lib files in their prospective folders?
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
I never got the lib files OUT of the lib folder! That's the issue! I've copied them to a remote location, but they remain in place. They won't Delete. I saw someone had good luck with RootBrowser, but I cannot apparently get SuperUser permission for that. So obviously that's not getting me to the system folder.

Allright. I'll try ES. Man, this is a kludgey process.
[AT&T LG G3] countryfolk07:
Yes it was. Took me couple times. You have to make sure system folder is read/write enabled in your file browser.
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
And for the life of me I cannot find this parameter on Root Explorer anywhere!
[AT&T LG G3] blackdogx:
THAT'S what I'm talkin about. ES Explorer was effortless. Goodbye Carrier IQ! Thanks guys.
[AT&T LG G3] goldswimmerb:
From what I can tell the boot completed does nothing. And since LADDM is removed data can't be uploaded.

[AT&T LG G3] GroovyGeek:
What is the point of tinkering with the libiq files? After I disable the services through AndroidTuner and freeze the APK Vodoo reports the presence of the libraries but declares them inactive.
[AT&T LG G3] Tursch67:
I deleted the lib folder now my phone opens the LG boot screen and goes to the stock recovery. I have tried the LG tool and can't get it to work. I've been at it for at least six hours. Went and bought new data cords and that didn't help. I'm at my wit's end. Is there an alternative method? My recovery says that I could load an update from the external SD card. Does anyone have that file or an alternative?
[AT&T LG G3] AllstarE4:
So I was pretty nervous doing this, but it definitely helped to read through the entire thread. There are multiple responses that cover each step. I'm not very knowledgable with all this stuff, but after about 20 minutes or so I got it done.

Here's what I did:

Followed the OPs steps in Android Tuner (3C Toolbox) to uncheck all the IQ items.

Used Titanium Backup to freeze LADDM.apk

Deleted the two libiq files (I emailed myself a copy of each before deleting just in case)

Deleted the LADDM.apk from /system/app (also emailed myself a copy just in case)

After all of this it finally worked. I was rebooting between each step and Carrier IQ was still found with Voodoo Checker. After finally deleting the LADDM.apk from the /system/app Voodoo Finally showed "Carrier IQ was not found".

I'm a rookie at all of this. If I can do it then anyone can. Huge thanks to the OP and those who posted help/tips to get this done.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

I just read your post again... you deleted the lib FOLDER? I can't say with certainty, but I would imagine that's your mistake. The goal is to open the lib folder and find the two libiq files and delete them... not the folder itself. Man I hope you get it worked out. If not, maybe it's possible for me to send you a copy of my lib folder. I don't know if that's a solution. Maybe someone with more knowledge can answer.

Reboot your phone and run Voodoo again... I had the same message and after reboot it was gone.
[AT&T LG G3] GroovyGeek:
Actually it turned out that you cannot just freeze LADDM, you have to physically delete it for Voodoo to be happy.
[AT&T LG G3] INeFFeCTiVE:
Glad you got it sorted out. I thought freezing would be effective too, that's why I did not think of it.
