[help]mam, ive just done the method flash root flash and rooted my Lt18i 4.0.4 but the problem is i canot freeze/unfreeze all kinds of installed apps, also i canot uninstall system apps, it say FAILURE, segmentation fault...

nothing happens like this......

Anyways no matter what is happening to ur phone just first flash http://uploaded.to/file/ngs9ac6s 4.0.3 kernel ftf (thanks to overloard for providing me) . Then again flash 4.0.4 ftf just un-check its kernel from it..... after installation definately turn-on ur phone... skip or complete the setup guide .

As i guess u want root connect ur phone to pc in debugging mode and unknown sources checked, download http://www.4shared.com/zip/kx8Ezp1G/Root_Exploit_OneClick.html and run Root Exploit OneClick "run me" batch file ur phone will restart 2-3 times , u will have 4.0.4 update with 4.0.3 kernel with root ... switch off ur phone drag 4.0.4 ftf file in flashtools , exclude everything and just check mark its kernel, click ok... and flash it ... u will have 4.0.4 running with its stock kernel and with root !!

I don't know what you guys are doing with all that rooting stuff.
Flash a 431 ftf
Hotboot a kernel with cwm and flash the su fix in cwm.
Then you have stock kernel with root.
reboot and done.

Thanx for that man, it worked :D

But i have a problem, i wanted to uninstal all the apps that are preloaded, but when i uninstall them with Uninstaller Root or something like that, i get an error message, like : Failed, try again

Have anything for me ?

Thanx one more time ^^

First please read the full thread. This has been answered.
Thia is because 4.0.4 stores some of those apps in the vendor folder instead of system. This can be solved by using an app called...

Systemcleanup


HOW TO. Remove system apps:

If you cannot remove system apps please try and use systemcleanup.
If this still does not work please let the op know.

I DONT KNOW ITS NOT SOMETHING IV TRIED AS OF YET
im in the uk and the one i found with wifi tether that worked was the central europe generic 1 but i was thinking maybe it could be solved easy but havnt got round to checking yet tha i was guna take out all the check wifi tether entitilment apk from system and check if it was maybe something that differs in them and if they could just be re installed into any other system/apps and maybe work this is all untested tho as im too busy with the kids to try

I would try re doing the full process and trying the settings again. If you don't know ur apn info. Ur provider should give it to u over the phone.

Maby try a diff region ICS. Or factory reset. Or down grade to gb fix The issues back up and try ICS again.
