[Q]

Hi all. I've been trying to install app2sd on my Xperia X10 mini pro. I've successfully rooted my device, using z4root 1.3. After I followed steps you provided on one of your threads. I've partitioned my SD card (16GB) and copied all necessary files. However instaed of running the proccess from my PC, I've downloaded terminal portal onto my phone and made it run from there. In the description it is said that after all steps, (which by the way were exactly the same had they been run from PC) the phone should restart itself, which unfortunatelly it did not. Worse of all all my apps and even Market icon dissapeared. I managed to find that the files were there, only system could not detect them. Pissed off about the whole situation I've decided to reboot my device using software installer by SE. Since then I can't even root my phone. I've tried all possible solutions including z4root, andro root, super one click, none of them succeeded. Please can anyone tell me what is going on. I would love to have app2sd as this really good phone is given with such a annoying flaw, as 200MB of memory. Thanks

[Q] How can I get the Android Marketplace on my Alldro device ?

Hi guys,
I bought a tablet from the guys over at Allview. The price was decent and the tablet is nice, but the douchy problem is that they did not include the android marketplace. I need it.
The device runs a eclair (android 2.1) update 1. Is there any way to install the marketplace without rooting the device ? and If not, can the device be rooted ? It has no phone capabilities (no sim, no gps, no camera) so I have 0 ideea what tool to use, especially because i really have no ideea what happends when rooting.
The little i got informationwise is that i'd probably need to root it > connect it to pc, use the andorid debugging console to "push" the app into the system folder. Tried to install whatever vendor.apks I could find but since the "host" os was uncertain, it's probably why they could not be installed. Alas, i may be wrong. Can you please help me out ?
if you need more infor google allview or Alldro
Thanks a lot !

Here ya go! just download it to your destop, transfer it to you device via usb, or download it to android device and run it from there!
thanks a huge lot !!! I will try this out. if it cannot install it means I will probably have to root the damn thing
thought as much. it won't install. I'm using ES explorer to install it (my device is not rooted yet, as I mentioned before) and no luck.
EDIT 1: Also tried copy=pasting it into the system/app folder. it says android marketplace blablabla copy failed. Is it possible that I am dealing with a NAND lock ?
could be that system is mounted read only.
Do you have root?
nope, not yet. I;m trying to root it as we speak... so far still going through the steps
EDIT: trying this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858952
so far i got to making the recovery image. for some idiotic reason however, I cannot do adb reboot recovery again ! it tells me error: protocol fault (no status)
my guess is that it doesn't like the recovery folder's name. else i don't get what's wrong ! I am going to rename the folder, and then attempt a second reboot-recovery. see if that works !
EDIT2: did not work. Could it be something else ?
ok i did it ! the problem was I had skipped rooting and forgot to add a few more params after doing the backup... whew ! that was a close call ! ffs !

Hi,
Is there such an app for the phone P2 from Allview?
Thank you in advance,
Poli
You will need to root your device to be able to push the vending apk into the system apps.
1. Root. its essential to do so.
2. Mount system partition r/w > google for adb commands on how to do that and adb in general
3. download the google apps provided above and either unzip and push vending apk to system/apps (not sure about the exact names, you'll have to see for yourself by using Root Explorer) . Restart phone > should work.

[Q] mid7016

is anyone working on a rom for 7016, been playing with it for a couple days trying to get it rooted and nand is locked and haven't found anything on how to unlock them, so i can use some of the root programs and install market on it, if anyone has an idea on a root that will work let me know and i will test it
The instructions for getting the Android Market on the 7015 works for this model as well - there is a youtube video that steps through it (search "How install android market on coby Kyros 7022" since I can't post outside links.
I'm having a couple of issues and am looking for a solution - will post in a new thread if I need to. 1) I was able to find the apk for Adobe Flash 10.3 but it doesn't seem to work in the native browser (can browse to you tube but then the videos pop open in another app but on other pages like blogs, etc the video graphic never appears). 2) I can't seem to get this thing to mount an SD card. I bought it primarily to let my son watch movies on it but the native 4GB isn't gonna get me very far. I've tried a 2GB that I had laying around and then went and picked up another SanDisk 8GB. Both are formatted FAT32 and can be read by Windows but as soon as I pop it in , I get the "SD card safe to remove" message.
Just wanted to point out that I stumbled on accessing the add-in flash card.
I reformatted the flash card using Windows, inserted in the device, and then had to power cycle the 7016. The way that they partition the internal memory creates an "SD Card" folder. When you insert an SD card you will get a TFlash folder as a sub directory of that. (not sure yet how you would access a USB flash drive if connected)
After days trying to find a way to root the Coby Kyros 7016, I've finally found a way to install the market!
Neither z4root nor gingerbreak worked with it. I don't think there's a way to root it, at least not now.
But you can install the market (which I guess is the main objective, at least mine was) in a very simple way.
Download the file using the following w w w . 4shared . com / file / 7tR6y6AB / Market . html.
Put them into your tablet.
Open APK Installer and install all of them in this order: OneTimeInitializer.apk, SetupWizard.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk.
Turn your tablet off and turn it on again.
A window saying "Complete action using" will appear, mark "Use by default" and choose the "Launcher".
I hope it helps!
PS: I've heard it works also on the MID7020.
But until now rooting, nothing yet ! any sugestion ?
the final & best answer
after hard work and a lot of trials here is the solution ............... it is superoneclick 2.2 from shortfuse.org ..... and then make shell root then root and it will be rooted

Confirmed working! Just did it three different tabs!
Root confirmed on Coby Kyros MID7016
confirmed root, with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 on Windows 7.
allowed drivers to automatically install (all but the android gingerbread installed)
in superoneclick, check for drivers, and allow to force install driver for android gingerbread (check to see if recognized by adb via 'adb devices')
-at this point, i disconnected the kyros from my laptop, and then reconnected, and then checked in adb again.
then shell root.
then root.
done.
confirmed rooted, working, with superuser app.

Alcatel One Touch Evo 8 HD

I got this tablet (and is very good) over a month ago, surfing all over the Internet and nowhere I cant find way to root it.
It has 4.2.2. version, and I cant install big games on it, it has 4GB of storage but it has internal 1.9 and sd0 1.9 so I can not install Real racing 3, there is no room for download.
I can upload original firmware and anything you want, just root it so i can install games and apps on EXTERNAL SD
(and explain how to extract firmware)
Please,please,please someone help me, i will die
Hi
I'm wondering is there any custom rom for this device. does anyone know
no, and it wont be, just root
Probably RootGenius will root it. If not then Eroot, iRoot and so many other (probably Chinese) one-click solutions.
