Uncheck fastboot, use something like titanium backup for all bloat. Becareful. You can hose shit!

I disagree but this is not the thread for it. I prefer fast boot off and only a small amount of Sprint bloat can be removed through manage apps. You would need to use something along the lines of TI Back up to really cleanse.


But if your going to do that... Just flash a custom ROM. Why go through the hassle of possibly uninstalling something and soft bricking your phone?

You can freeze them in TB first...then run it that way for a few days...if no issue, "probably" can remove...but USE CARE!
