Ok make sure your rooted with this method, here is the xda page http://xdaforums.com/grand-prime/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g530t-5-1-1-t3203476

Then make sure you got this rom installed http://xdaforums.com/grand-prime/development/rom-gwiz-rom-v1-1-t3374727

Then it will work. You have to have that rom installed for it to work. The rom won't work unless you root your phone with that root method .. If your having a lot of trouble I can message you my number and i can walk you through it

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sth336:
So I recently purchased s7 edge g935fd from Taiwan. The phone was working fine there in Taiwan. When I came back to the States, however, the phone seems to have trouble connecting TMobile's LTE mobile data. The LTE goes on and off , no matter where I am. The phone still says that it is connected to LTE even when the data is not loading. I tried to reset the APN setting but no avail. I also tried that sim card on my old ASUS Zenphone 2 and the LTE worked fine so it is probably not the sim card's fault. The weird thing is that I can still call, text, and even use 3g network, it's only LTE that is not working properly. Anyone got a solution to this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] OGEnsomniac:
Have you gone to settings>mobile networks and checked if it's set to auto connect?

I took off unlimited data from my account because **** sucks here In Aurora Colorado. Isn't worth an extra 20 a month when I got WiFi at home and at work. Plus 2gb free is cool with me. Still got bingeon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] rzlybb:
I used to have a note from Verizon Unlocked, but seems they've done that on and off signal quite a lot. Since their phones from T-Mobile have everything pre-installed, you can't even delete or edit their APN.

That's why I got a phone with then GS7E works like a charm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tonyec7:
sorry to break it to you but you need to have 3GB or more to have binge on bud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] nano303:
Oh well. Like I said even with that sht I can NEVER load a video on Netflix on my lte, I would miss flights before this crap loads. I like t-mobile because it's the only one that's "good" in my area if t-mobile is "good" I don't want to know what's bad. That's cool it works for you. But I rather pay $55 a month for text talk and 2gb of free data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jtford:
I have a 935FD on TMO and never have had a problem. I actually have a 935T also, just made sure the APN's matched. The FD however, has never shown an LTE icon although it shows connected to LTE in settings. This could be to being rooted and running a custom rom. But to your main question, again, I've had no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] naruto.ninjakid:
So you bought and international version? I think I may have to do the same for the Note 7 but not sure how compatible the international versions are with T-Mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jtford:
Yes, I bought an International version after realizing it would probably be some time before the 935T got root. From what I understand, and don't quote me on this, but the international version of just about anything is compatible with TMO or any other GSM network. The Note 7 should be just as compatible as my 935FD is with TMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] naruto.ninjakid:
Do you get wifi calling with the international version? It also seems Samsung won't honor the warranty and SquareTrade won't as well since Samsung isn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jtford:
No, and that is the only reason I've kept my TMO version is for the wifi calling. If the buildings where I work weren't blast proof we would have cell signal inside them. Since we don't, the wifi calling is our only Option, besides landlines of course. For all these reasons we're talking about is why I'm looking at getting an HTC 10. I'm getting tired of all the Samsung lock down on stuff.

Lol that's the exact problem I have at work there is absolutely no service in certain parts. It's pretty sad for T-Mobile. We're basically forced to get there version.

Problems after Factory Reset

after factory reset got a Error looping, “Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.”

Method to bypass problem,

1. Boot into TWRP Recovery

2. Mount System ( Mount → check System )

3. Advanced → File Manager

4. Browse to /system/priv-app/Setup-Wizard

5. Delete it

Also, home button and menu button doesn't work

(had to restore from backup)
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ariesgodofwar:
Or in between the pop up error messages you can go to Settings-> Apps->App Permissions and give Setup Wizard the necessary permissions.

So to clarify I can use the script to also disable ota for a prime that's been converted to OEM? excellent
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
I am a Prime-Member and would like to buy two NEW BLU R1 HD - 16 GB - Black - Prime Exclusive - with Lockscreen Offers & Ads:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H2E0J5M/ref=twister_B01G7TG6SW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

However, since I am buying these two cellphones for my sons, and I don't want that they have access to my amazon account details...

So, I would like to know if these phones will come fully registered to my Amazon account, or if it is possible to block or unregister these phones to my Account ?

So, my Amazon Orders, List and Shopping Cart, can not be seen or used by my sons ?

At first and if not totally necessary, I not want to root or modify nothing on this Blue phone... I just would like to totally block in some simple way, my Amazon account that I will use to purchase these phones, possibly because both will come already registered to the same account.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] lordmorphous:
They do not come registered to your account at all. Signing into an amazon account is an option during setup, but not required.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
Thanks for letting me know that these BLUE phones, not come pre-registered to an amazon account...

That's just what I wanted to know before ordering my two phones.

The scripts worked perfectly except for the MTK one. The ugly file manager is still there.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
This is strange. What phone version do you have? (Prime, normal, Prime converted to normal, etc)

Is the Gallery App gone? If yes try to uninstall the file explorer manually like any other app, else try to run the script again to be sure nothing went wrong.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] oakami:
I have the prime version. I flashed TWRP plus superSU and Xposed. The gallery app is gone. I tried installing the script again but the file manager is still there.

Any way to make the Camera app launch Google Photos? It now just gives me an error since I removed the Gallery app...
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
No, use of the default gallery app is hardcoded in the camera app.

You can only launch Google Photos using the shortcut displayed after taking a new picture.

If you use an alternative camera app (I use Open Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera ) these will correctly launch Google Photos or any other default gallery app.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
For testing purpose (seems to work ok on my phone) here is an update of the scripts.

These ones will not delete the apps in /system but rename them from *.apk to *.apk_ effectively disabling and hiding them.

Two main advantages:

- Each app can easily be individually disabled/reactivated using TWRP builtin file explorer or any file explorer with root access by renaming them back to *.apk.

- Easily revert to an out of the box state to be able to apply an OTA update by simply using "bluR1-RestoreApps-OTA.zip" script. This will "rebloat" your system. If you installed root etc you still have to take care of this yourself.

If you are giving these scripts a try, please report success / failure so I can eventually update the original post.

Edit 09/10/2016: scripts updated to debloat non-prime phones, restore script released.

Edit 10/01/2016: scripts are now available on OP, beta is over. Thanks to the few testers that reported back!

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
Did you ever turned the phone on and used the assistant before applying the scripts, or was it done before everything else?

In case something weird happened I would recommend you to restore the system and use the beta version of the scripts available on http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68557388&postcount=19 it will be easier to troubleshoot if the problem persist.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
Thanks to the feedback of a few testers (unfortunately no one having trouble with v1 ever reported back...) v2 scripts are now released in plain sight on OP.

These have beed tested on both PRIME and OEM variants. It should debloat

Keep in mind that if you previously used v1 scripts /system apps were deleted. You will need to restore your /system partition from a backup as the new "revert all" script will not magically reinstall these apps, it will only work if you used v2 debloat scripts.

As usual, please report if any issues.

How to delete all the bloat for good?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
[MENTION=6782683]emc2cube[/MENTION]

Is it ok if I incorporate your de-bloat scripts in my new tool?

I can either just push the zips and command the recovery to run them or write code to boot into recovery and use the root shell there to run your codes, This second method may appeal to some who do not want to install twrp or do not want to make permanent root, but want extra bloat removed.

Either way if you allow me to use them that way.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
Of course, you can use / integrate them as you wish.

They are as self explanatory as possible so everyone can use/modify them as they please.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] OldSkewler:
Could someone shed some light here? Just purchased this Prime-version, connected to my Wi-Fi and OTA'ed to version BLU Version 8.3 and Android Security Patch Level April 5, 2017.

My goal is to get rid of all Amazon bloatware and possibly run a clean firmware with future security updates. I believe this would be the normal OEM BLU firmware?

Could someone please clarify if this thread is the one to follow and which update file option would be the correct one?

Thanks in advance!

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Sorry for the delay. I wanted to respond to your first post. now it's too late V8 is very new and no method to root is available
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] OldSkewler:
Understood mrmazak. I could easily return the device and get a new one, how easy would be to "convert" it to the stock BLU firmware? Which guide is the most current for this?

Thanks!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
As long as new device cones with v7.4.2 or lower. The unlock tool thread is my first choice. Then that gives you twrp. From there you can flash the modifies v8.3 which has ads removed. Or the v17, is the newest stock rom. Both are just installed with twrp.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] OldSkewler:
Awesome, thanks for the reply. And just clarifying the differences between the two options:

- Is V17 the same as stock BLU ROM from the manufacturer? Does it get security updates from the manufacturer?

- Is Modified V8.3 the Amazon version without Amazon ads?

I am looking for rooted access and as close to stock as possible WITHOUT bloatware and with security updates. Which version would you recommend?

Thanks in advance again!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Well the 8.3 has no ads and has little to no "bloat". And is rootable . Has April 2017 security patches.

NO FOTA OTA enabled. So for updates will need to rely on forum updates.

The factory updates will not allow root. So , as of now at least, need to choose root or factory updates.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] OldSkewler:
Thanks again mate, very clear and informative. Sorry for the noobie questions, I am coming from Symbian-land (i know, i am maybe the last person on Earth still modding a Nokia!) and this would be my first Android customization, so all of this is kinda new to me.

I believe I would choose the Factory ROM/Firmware with factory updates - it seems like the best approach for someone new with Android.

Could you please just point me to the most current and stable thread that I should follow to perform these changes? There are a few threads going on and I am not sure which one is the most applicable for me. I am getting a new Blu device today and before connecting it to my WiFi I would like to perform these changes.

Thanks again!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
This thread :

https://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/how-to/unlock-tool-t3561333

Will get you twrp and root.

Then this one to get most updated security patched rom

Modified v8.3

https://xdaforums.com/r1-hd/development/modified-8-3-stock-rom-t3602672

These are not quite factory or OTA update able. But what you are asking for is not possible.

You want to be able to modify things, with no ads, no bloat, and have root. Then you say you want factory rom with factory updates. You can not have both. You can have close to it but not completely like you ask.

The rom I linked you to is the factory supplied rom, without bloat and without ads.

Is that what you were looking for?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] OldSkewler:
I understand the compromise and it makes sense not to be able to have all things at the same time. I am looking for the Factory ROM for the phone. It is not clear which one of the links to follow, as your last post was a bit confusing.

Also, what is the difference between Factory Stock ROM and this thread with TWRP Scripts to remove ads? Which process is easier for a noobie?

Thanks again!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
The first link is needed to get phone unlocked so you can install twrp.

The second link is the rom to install.

The de-bloat scripts will still need you to have twrp installed .

Then once you have twrp it is easier to install a rom already modified then to modify it yourself.

And the roms I link to are factory roms de-bloat already.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] OldSkewler:
It was not easy, but it all worked out. Thanks again mate!

And FYI, I also ran the TWRP Scripts provided in this thread BEFORE uploading the Factory ROM 8.3 and it also worked great. Just ended up choosing to go with 8.3 ROM because I was running 6.1 and wanted the most current security updates.

Thanks for the awesome scripts!

But im having a problem with removing the BluHelp app. No matter what i do, it is always there. I have run the script from trwp directly after installing the V21 rom and also after first boot but still, the BluHelp app remains. Everything else is cleared out.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
There was probably an update performed at some point.

Try to uninstall BluHelp as any other user application, it should remove any updates that may have been installed on the user data partition and let me know if it worked. for you.

If not could you locate where your BluHelp is located on your system and I will correct / update the paths in the scripts.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Jaa-Yoo:
Unfortunately there is no option to uninstall. The file is located in one of the folders specified in your v3 script. /system/priv-app/BLUHelp/ so i dont know why it wont rename. :confused:

Figured it out...

Your letter case was off... BlueHelp instead of BLUHelp. I corrected the case and ran the script again, it worked and all is well now.

I assume you'll fix the script yourself and re-upload.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Letitride:
Hi, just a bit of feedback - got my hands recently on a 2nd. Blu R1 HD 16GB Prime model (FRU, practically new 9.75 out of possible 10) with 7.4.2 firmware on it - preloader 0.100 and bootloader 0.5 (P6601) as taken from the "getvar all" - bootloader still locked.

Had issues initially unlocking bootloader, finally did (V9 of Unlock tool w Linux extras worked for me) - flashed mrmazak's modified v8.4 rom, all is good. Got playful & used TWRP to flash the modified v21 OEM rom - only to realized that it had more Amazon apps & BLU's Help App on it (v8.4 is actually cleaner and stripped of Opera browser, etc.)

Downloaded the MTK debloat v3 zip file here to give it a workout - well, I can report that it didn't work, everything is still on the v21 OEM rom afterward. Anyway, got this 2nd. one at an almost steal price off eBay - setting it aside as a spare unit for the time being. Would be happy to run the next release if & when available.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] emc2cube:
I'm currently on V21 and everything is gone for me.

Did you also run Amazon and/or google debloat scrips?

Did you check that the apps can't be uninstalled like a regular app? (if they receive an update they will also be present outside /system)

If yes for all of that, could you give me the path where these applications are, so I can double check what went wrong.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] Letitride:
Oh, I see - must've skipped over those extra scripts. I was supposed to run all those, even on mrmazak's modified V21 rom ?? Answer is no, I only ran one script/zip file, did not do the Amazon and did not do Google debloat zips from TWRP.

Will flash the modified V21 tonight, download the scripts & run all 3 of them thru to see, then reboot & see - and, post my results afterward. Thanks !!

The modified V8.4 rom that I installed & ran on the "original" R1 HD for the last 3 months didn't have any of the Amazon Apps (i.e Video, Music, etc.) so that probably caught me off-guards as I was expecting none of that. Otherwise, the basic/mini sets of Google Apps were identical on both the modified V8.4 and modified V21 OEM rom here, with OTA blocked (most definitely do not want bootloader & pre-loader to be "upgraded" & then blocked).

Followup - << working !! >> reflashed V21 and ran all 3 scripts to debloat, now it's all good. Really stripped down, less Apps than V8.4 and the only extra is BLUhelp. No OTA as expected. Thanks for the help.
