Hello

I recently ordered a new simcard, What i didnt think of was that I had the "I'm here" application installed which will notify me if the phone get stolen....

However now to the problem.. How do I make it accept my new simcard? What was the default password off the application?

Ive tried uninstalling by running

killall imhere-0.3
touch /etc/init.d/imhere-0.3.uninstall
apt-get remove --purge imhere-0.3

but after I run killall imhere-0.3 i get "cannot kill pid 1209: Operation not permitted"

Any idea what to do to fix it ? Either by uninstalling and installing the app again or what is there to do?

Did you install rootsh? If so, try typing "root", and then the other commands.

if you've changed the passwords hopefully you remembered them, text the config password to whatever sim you have in at the time

Done some research (it's wise to use the search function or google)

If it not exists then exit 1 - which means failure = error code(1). You already seen this error: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).
As result uninstallation will fail. If that file exists than packages should be uninstalled normaly (my case).

This was just boring introduction how deb(s) works. I don't understand why you cannot uninstall package the way I mentioned before, anyway you can try at you risk.

Code:
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/imhere-0.3.prerm
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/imhere-0.3.postinst
dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq imhere-0.3
Probably it would be good idea to kill process imhere-0.3 before:
Code:
killall imhere-0.3
run the 4 commands on the quote above, after you become a root.

Ah i did search else I wouldnt have found the code about removing it which failed, But for some reason the advice you gave me worked just fine! "I am here" is successfully removed =)

Thanks man!
