I currently have a mytouch 3g and am running a slide rom on it, problem is there is no keyboard, how do I manually install an apk file preferrably from the computers console such as swype or astro both of which apk files are currently on my sd card. Any help is much appreciated, I started using this forum in 2008 but have never once posted, sad really. ive been trying to install it via adb commands but I keep getting device not recognized errors, feel free to flame my noobishness
Once you have a file explorer you can just click on APKs to install them. If you don't have access to the market to get a file explorer you will have to install them using the ADB method. I found a forum post that gives some rough instructions, but it sounds like you don't have ADB set up correctly. Also I believe the path used with the adb install command is the location of the apk on the PC.

The following is a response to someone having a similar problem on another site:
http://www.androidkit.com/steps-to-install-and-uninstall-apk-file-on-android-g1-device
The message is coming because the drivers for the G1 Android device are not properly installed.
If you are running windows, Check so:
Right click on My Computer, and click Manage, then go to the device manager
If you see an “ADB Interface” category at/near the top, with “HTC Dream” under it, then you’re good to go.
Else, you need to install the drivers by pointing to the driver location to the usb_driver folder under the android sdk folder installed by you, while the device is connected, and the system prompts for it.

Updated first post. Now with screenshots! Ooooo, aaaaaahh!
here is the cmd dialog i got when i ran it the first time, then i read the next two posts...dont know how i missed that the first time...thanks guys
that just means you need to install .NET Framework 4.0. unless you already have it installed and it still doesnt work, then i dont know.

Very nice! This makes me almost wanna unroot just to try it. Excelent job!
This is sweet, it's simple yet elegant. I was wondering if you could do something like this for your s-off method/nand unlock method?
I've tried to use this a couple times without any luck both with 2.27.651.6 as well as 2.31.651.7
My phone is recognized by the rooter but seems to lock up on ">Running Exploit"
I know I'm not supposed to remove my phone but after close to thirty minutes I figured I'd see what happens if I did. I get a pop-up informing I can remove my phone and the rooter springs to life telling me root was achieved and complete however it doesn't seem to be rooted. (No custom recovery or SU installed)
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate and have the USB drivers installed as well as .Net Framework 4.0.

Ok thank you for the great feedback. That helped me find out right where the problem was in my code.
I need someone (anyone with a NON-Rooted Hero, and the sdk set up) to run this code for me, then attach the file named "HeroRoot.txt" it creates on your desktop to the thread here on xda.
Code:
adb start-server
then wait until it returns to the normal prompt, then enter:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system > "%userprofile%\Desktop\HeroRoot.txt"
I had to turn on USB Debugging to get it to try the mount command, otherwise it just said "error: Device not found"
But attached is the requested output.
Hope that helps.
semi-stupid question, I need to have the Android SDK installed to run this right?

I think Regaw is trying to make a simple application so that all you need installed is HTC Sync and .NET 4 Framework. I could be wrong
So No you don't need the SDK to run this application.

In that case, it's not even recognizing my phone...installed HTC Sync and have .NET Framework 4 Extended (and Client Profile)
@Wufei
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled in Settings -> Applications -> Development.

yeah sorry, working on the issue now. Should have this bug worked out soon. And no, you do NOT need the sdk for this, I have included adb.exe and the necessary dlls it needs. Thanks for the HeroRoot.txt btw
Alright so I took the chance and installed XDAndroid on my Touch Pro, but after that, when I tried connecting it via usb to my PC, it doesn't see it.
I downloaded Android SDK and basically followed every step in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9112190&postcount=3370 up until "find C:/AndroidSDK/usb-driver/ and select android_winusb and OK.
XDA will be installed as Android ADB Interface".
This doesn't work for me; when i click OK, it gives me an error saying the folder doesn't contain a suitable driver or something along those lines.
I even tried right-clicking on android_usb.inf and Install but it says this method of installation is not supported. What exactly am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.
Have you looked at THIS thread yet?
After looking through that thread, everything works now. Thank you very very much

Referencing this thread about installing build 7720 on my T-Mobile HTC HD7 from my Windows 7 PC.
My Windows Phone is currently running Mango Beta 2 build 7712. At step 16, I open the batch file "ISVTo7720.bat" as administrator but I'm getting an error after the CMD window opens.
I open the batch file, the script starts to run, then a red error message pops up and the window closes before the installation begins and before I can even read what the error is. Its pretty frustrating.
Does anyone have any ideas on why the script won't run. Are there any services that I need to make sure are running before I try to run it?
Or maybe someone can post instructions on how to manually run a batch file from a CMD window? Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks.
run first the update tool into the zune map, then run the scriptfile
Well, I installed 7720 today and I had the same problem (red error message in command prompt).
The following steps helped me:
I had an older Zune software installed and just ran the new setup. The update didn't work and the first thing I did was to uninstall Zune completely, restart the computer and install the new one again. Then I opened it and looked if it's 4.8.2134 - there's a info under the "settings" tab.
Then please navigate to your installation directory of Zune (C:\Programs\Zune) and look if there's a "UpdateWP.exe" in it. If not go into the "MANGO\Zune\04.08.2134.00\UpdateTool" folder and install the matching version. Look again - UpdateWP.exe should now exist in the installation directory of Zune.
Run the .bat file with administrative rights (right-click -> context menu).
The first time I opened the .bat file it closed and my phone stuck in download mode. Then I just plugged off my phone and restarted it. I tried a second time and succeeded. Now I've got 7720 on my Omnia 7
IT WORKED!!!
Thanks guys. My new RTM Mango phone is the BOMB DOT COM! and its only 7:30am
Hi. I bought HTC One M8 for Windows mobile (T-Mobile US version) running WP 8.1 OS few days ago. Whenever I try to log into Microsoft account I get error code 0xFFFFFE70 saying 'We weren't able to activate your phone' with an advice to contact Microsoft support regarding error.
I have searched on-line for this error and have tried everything advised including correcting system date/time settings, soft/hard reset of phone, even reformatting the stock firmware with WDRT (Windows Device Recovery Tool) and also HTC custom tool. Nothing seems to resolve this error so far. Due to this I am unable to use windows store to download apps or log into my one drive on phone etc as each one of these requires Microsoft account login.
I was thinking maybe anyone can help me by providing me with latest windows 10 preview RUU for HTC M8 for windows (T-Mobile). If you installed it on your M8 via WDRT (Windows Device Recovery Tool) then you can copy it from C:\ProgramData\HTC\Packages\Products (default directory for WDRT). Maybe Windows 10 preview would solve my problem.

I have finally managed to resolve the issue via manually pushing update cabs (first 14203-14219 and then 14219-10586.11) via 'iutool' as described here.
In this case as I was unable to install and run Windows Insider app via MS Store or Sideload it (as it required MS account login) I went straight to pushing cabs via iutool without any prior modification via Windows Insider app as mentioned in thread and it worked. After that mobile got updated to 10585.164 build and now its working perfectly.
Hi Surgeon. I am having the same issue with the same variant of this phone. I'm pretty sure I get the jist of how to use the uitool, but I think I'm missing the step about using the Insider app to start the process as it's not installed on this phone. I have a few questions about how you did this:
1 - How did you sideload/install the Microsoft Insider app without being able to log into a Microsoft account?
2 - Coming from 8.10.14203.306, would I just install the 2 files ( 14203-14219 and then 14219-10586.11)?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

No need to install Insider app. Just run following commands (Modify depending on your system locations) via Command Prompt in Admin mode (Windows key + X > Command Prompt (Admin) )
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Phone Kits\8.1\Tools\bin\i386\
to check whether device connected or not
iutool -l
to transfer cabs (located in c:\cabs)
iutool -v -p c:\cabs
(Install cabs in 2 steps. First from 14203-14219 and let phone update complete. Then delete these cabs from c:\cabs and paste 14219-10586.11 cabs in c:\cabs and repeat same steps and let the phone update.)
Thanks a ton! I just got home from work and I'll try this in a bit.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
I am able to transfer the files and the phone attempts to install, but then throws out an error saying it is unable to open the update.

When I downloaded the file from the link on the iutool page you referenced, it downloads as a .txt file. Does it matter if I'm sending that file as a .txt to the phone or does it have to be converted to a .cab?

Brother these text files contain download links for cab files. Open these links one by one or simply copy and download all together via free download manager (portable edition here)
Cab files downloaded from both text file links are about cumulatively 788mb (51 cab files of about 52.8 mb for 14203 to 14219 and then 47 cab files of about 735mb for 14219 to 10586.11 update.)
Thanks again for the help and clarification. I do though have another question about installing the .cabs. After the first 8 or so cabs I installed, the OS is updated to 14219.341. Am I able to skip the rest of the cabs in link 1 and start installing cabs from link 2? I ask because when I install the 13th cab from link 1, the phone reboots but instead of the white HTC Not For Resale screen, I get a black backlit screen and unable to even shut the phone down with the power button. I've had to reset it using RUU and start over from scratch.
Edit 5/7/2016: No need for reply. I was making this harder than it actually was. Once I stopped being dumb about it, I managed to get the phone fully updated and it's running perfectly now in Windows 10. Thanks for all your help in pointing me towards the solution.
