ADB fastboot message "waitng for device"

Dodgydave · 23 Dec 2017 at 12:20

I have installed adb minimal , and i can see the apps on my xperia z3 with the command

" pm list packages" ok it lists the device ok, but when i come to uninstall an app, "its says starting daemon ok"
"waiting for device"

and just hangs there for infinity?

anybody got any clues as to what is wrong?

Yes usb debugging is enabled and file transfer mode is selected

I have already done that, and i can see my device, and the list of apps installed,

why does it keep "waiting for device" when i want to erase one??

As a first attempt to remove amazon, i tried..

Adb uninstall com.amazon.kindle

it then says daemon starting ok, waiting for device.

No , sideload doest work its not a command that is known in adb.

i cant unistall it from the phone as its a Sony installation , i can only unistall apps that i have put on ..

Should be:

Code:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.kindle

Yep this worked,
Now when i try to uninstall other apps i get message " not installed for user 0"

I am trying to remove the bloatware boot up logo from a Verizon Xperia z3, there are several verizon packages installed, i don't know which package does what,

i can list the packages if you need.

Tried it several times, even unplugged usb re started adb, adb shell, list packages again, still the same message. Any ideas?

All i want is to remove all this verizon crap!

How do i do this?

Dodgydave · 29 Dec 2017 at 20:39

Done that, it's the startup screen and the message "simcard not from verizon" i want to remove..

I have installed Debloater software and can try that if you know which apk to delete.?

Thanks, that's the sim message removed, now how to remove the bloatware startup picture.
