Sideloading Samsung Captivate - Captivate General

How to sideload for samsung captivate?
1. Download Terminal Emulator from android market (or any terminal).
2. Go to this post on your samsung captivate.
3. Copy this Below
su cd /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings
sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value = "1" where name = "install_non_market_apps";
.quit
reboot
4. Your phone will reboot and you can sideload. try to download an app from pandaapp.com.
5. Success!!!!!!!!!! Made very easy compared to using Android SDK.

It's explained Tip: Enable Non Market App Installs on the Samsung Captivate]here[/url, I used a little variation on that method:
Can I suggest an even easier way of editing and manipulating the settings.db file? I used a combination of Root Explorer, SQLite Editor and Dropbox, modified from this link. You zip and copy settings.db from your Captivate to Dropbox, then you can edit it in Firefox, zip it, copy it back, and manipulate it from there - or I found I could copy the file to another folder I created (modified market), edit the file in there with SQLite, save the file and then copy it back to the original folder following their directions. The one thing you have to be careful of is making sure you're mounted R/W instead of R/O in Root Explorer or you'll get errors, something like 'permission denied'.
The Sideload Wonder Machine is nice, but I'm not always at my computer when I find something I want to try, this method made sideloading totally contained on the Captivate. Works a charm

i tried the first method by copying the code and i got "Permission Denied" so then i just typed in the first line. got the same "Permission Denied"
is there a step i need to do first?

What are you using, Root Explorer? You have to click the r/w at the top of the screen to enable writing. If it's r/o, that means read only.

Root Explorer? no, just Terminal Emulator and pasted the code into the Terminal window. i take it that's not what it meant

Ah, no, I see, you're referring to the first method. I dunno, I used what I posted, and it worked well.

nevermind lol

sorry should have mentioned that. the method posted by jordan5555 got the error

While the process described here isn't technically sideloading, it is enabling installation of non-market applications without being attached to a computer, a.k.a. De-crippling . I have already simplified this process into one click, with no need for running any console commands or downloading the android SDK. Check out One Click De-Cripple for Captivate here.
BTW, your phone will need to be rooted before this process will be successful.

Having to be rooted is why I went wit the method I posted above - because at the time I wasn't ready to root. What that method did do is force me to learn a bit about Android file structure and how to 'fiddle around' with the innards of the system. Eventually, of course, I got brave, rooted, and it's been all customizing from then on.
Of course, once you've rooted and gone to a custom ROM you never have to worry about all this again

Cant you just use the sideload wonder machine? Worked for me when I didn't have the "install_non_market_apps" file changed.

Sure, but then I have to be at my computer to load anything. I far prefer what I did, so it's just plain done. Plus I don't want the constant reminder that AT&T has crippled my phone - a phone I'm paying way too much for monthly.

Good point... The only reason I used the sideload wonder machine in the first place was to get root explorer on my phone since the market was not working. After that I just modified the database file.

what this means is simple, you can do whatever you want with this software
Instructions are simple, this uses revolutionary's awesome zergrush exploit its just a slightly modified script from my transform-ultra AIO. anyways yall might be wondering why a sprint guy is here giving yall this, well its cuz my good buddy k0nane (the one currently working on removing ciq for yall) asked me to stop by the irc channel last night. we got some of the partitions mapped out and he told me that you guys can use zergRush so here ya have it
set usb debugging on (settings > applications > development > USB debugging)
Install teh drivers
plug in your phone and let teh drivers FULLY INSTALL
extract the entire root zip file (dont just pull what you want out of it, it doesnt work like that)
run the included batch file/sh file depending on your os
linux users i know youve got it handled but for you mac users that dont understand how to do anything more then dump money in apples pockets there is a readme in there
DOWNLOAD​
also to make things easier for editing i have included a nice lil script
in shell or terminal use this command
# remount rw
Click to expand...

it will allow r/w access to /system

version 2.0 will flash cwm for ya, just need to figure out a safe way to do it
Cool. Reserved.
fixed - was a permissions issue on my end.
fixed - was a permissions issue on my end.
please try re-running it again, if it says zerglings didnt leave anything interesting thats teh exploit failing
fixed - was a permissions issue on my end.
no adb is finding your phone, otherwise the exploit wouldnt run. its just odd that they arent leaving anything interesting. not sure why its not running the way it should, other people on this forum have said they used zergrush just fine, the reason why i posted this is so that you can have it done via script and have busybox and a remount script thrown in there.
here i had originally posted teh file with my old copy of zergrush, i had since updated teh zip with the latest from revolutionary. i reverted back to the old one try downloading it again and see where that gets ya
I ran it as administrator this time and it looks different, but I still get message about SU not found, even after rebooting phone.
ok well that time is because you didnt run it with adb.exe in teh folder
Hmm will def try this later tonight
Well, I'm sure I may be doing something wrong.
But I simply set my phone to usb-debugging and plugged in the usb cable.
Then extracted your zipped up folder and then right-click-run-as-administrator on root.bat.
ADB.exe is definitely in the same folder structure as root.bat.
hm well join the irc channel when youu get a chance we can work on this as bit more
If you are running windows vista or windows 7 and you are just right-clicking on the bat and running as administrator you are not running the adb.exe as an administrator. You should right-click on cmd.exe in the start menu, select run as administrator then navigate to the folder extracted. For instance if you saved the file in your users downloads folder then navigate to: x:\users\[user name]\downloads\Skyrocket-Easy-Root and then type root.bat and press enter. This will allow the root.bat to call adb.exe properly and will execute the process.
Hope this helps.

Glad I could help. One post in four years yes, I signed up for this site a long time ago and then promptly joined the dark side by purchasing an iPhone about a week after that. After all these years I have wandered back and can hopefully be more of more use as I learn the Android OS.
Worked perfectly for me. Quick the lengthy root process (err rather how long it takes, its just 1 click lol), but mint!

NO Root Acces
Does anyone can help me, I have no root access over my phone?
When I run Android Commander, the bottom status bar says "Root Access : NO"
I don't understand what went wrong.
I tried to click the status bar, it just keep on loading.
Doesn't even find my HTC Sensation (adb drivers installed+rooted), while both QTADB and Droid Manager are able to access the phone.
So it's a no go for me, too bad, looks promising.
Thank you

Maybe because you are runing jb mr1 4.2.2
For all those that get "Root Access : NO" on rooted phone, it's because adbd is running in "secure" mode.
Try adbd Insecure v1.30. It worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590
It won't show my device
it says my Galaxy nexus(4.3 +rooted) is offline and that I should reboot it.
done the reboot, nothing changed, tried insecure adb, the same message.
can someone help me.
I need to to modify swap file as im using androidcommander with rooted note 2 4.3
thank u people
works just fine with Chainfires Insecure Mode app and KitKat on my Nexus 5.
You need to overwrite the files that are in $ROOT/Android Commander DIR/bin/ with the ones that are from an up-to-date sdk.
There are 4 files.

[Q] More than one device and emulator / device offline...Desperate for help

Hello forums, I am new to xda, and to the motorola section so if I misplaced this post please forgive me. I have check all over the place trying to figure out my problem. I just got the Atrix 2 and tried running a one-click root program only to get the error "more than one device and emulator" I have read online, and from what I can understand that it may be an "adb" error, and that I need to locate the adb devices by using the command prompt (as seen here in the comments of another website cant post cause I'm a new user)
Not being very tech savvy I'm not quite sure how to control cmd, and if this is even the right thing to be looking for. If there is anyone who could walk me through this I would be infinitely grateful. Through these forums, or perhaps email, or skype. I don't want to bog down anyone, but I have been looking forward to getting and rooting this phone for quite a while now.
Thanks

Not sure about the error message, but have you made sure before you try to run the root exploit that your device (in settings/applications) you have the "Unknown Sources" and "USB Debugging" boxes checked?

Yea, I made sure to enable both of those settings, since then I have tried messing around with the usb settings. When I set the phone to "charge only" get past the first phase and the phone reboots. However, upon rebooting I get the same error of having more than one device and emulator. I have also tried starting the root with Mass Storage on. Does anyone the source of this error, or some key words I could start researching?
Are you getting that error only when connected to your PC?
Have you seen these?

I'm not quite sure what you mean, I dont get error when the phone is disconnected or connected via usb except when running the root program. Thank you for the article on the "bluestacks" problem. I'm not running that program, but I guess it's possible that something else on the computer could be conflicting. I checked task manager, nothing there. The other message talking about killing the adb server, how would I go about doing that? Like I said I'm not super tech savvy, so when it comes to command prompt stuff I have problems. Any suggestions?
Are you running Android 2.3.6. and which one click rooting method are you trying? You may want to download THIS ROOT EXPLOIT FILE, save to your C: drive, and plug in your device, set to "charge only". Then navigate to the C: drive, open the folder, and click the "click to root" option within the folder.

[Root][0.7.2.751]Root bluestacks beta - 1 by moh erbil (0.7.2.751)

ROOT BLUESTACKS BETA-1 (0.7.2.751)​
HEY GUYZ, HERE IS A VERY EASY WAY TO ROOT BLUESTACKS BETA -1, BUT THE ONLY DISADVANTAGE IS THAT IT WORKS FOR ONLY VERSION 0.7.2.751.....
I HAVE TESTED THIS METHOD OF ROOTING AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR ME AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU.
THINGS THAT YOU ARE GONNA NEED
1. FILE SPLITTER/JOINER SOFTWARE- DOWNLOAD IT FROM HERE AND INSTALL IT.
2. THREE ROOT FILES THAT YOU HAVE TO JOIN LATER USING THE ABOVE SOFTWARE.
DOWNLOAD THESE THREE. Remember that all the below three files should be in one folder.
ROOT.001
ROOT.002
ROOT.003
The password for the above files is : erbil. Thnx to Riyal for reminding me about the password.
METHOD OF ROOTING
1. Open File Splitter/Joiner Software and select the tab "JOINING" and click on the adjacent button showing "1".
2. Here you need to select the file Root.0.7.2.751.001 i.e. the first file you have downloaded and then click on join button and wait for it to complete.
3. After the completion of the above process, you will find a new Root.0.7.2.751.7z file in the same directory as the part files.
4. Open this and extract the Root.fs and README.txt file.
5. Stop all the BlueStacks processes form the TASK MANAGER
6. Copy the ROOT.FS file to (Windows 7) C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Android. OR in (Windows XP) and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BlueStacks\Android
7. After this RESTART BlueStacks and you will have the root access.
For sure check it with an app like Root Checker.

Mounting /system as Read/Write was possible in this one (Look at the screenshot below). Looking further to get it fixed on other versions too.

bluestacks v-(0.7.7.813)
how to root bluestacks version 0.7.7.813
Help!
I had 0.7.3.763 installed (and working). I wanted to try an app that needed a rooted version; so, I uninstalled 0.7.3.763 preserving user data and apps. I ran Eusing Free Registry Cleaner. I then installed 0.7.2.751 according to your instructions. When I came to the step of replacing root.fs, Windows (Vista w SP2) said the file was in use by another program -- even though the processes had been killed as instructed.
So, I rebooted in safe mode and still could not delete the original root.fs. So I rebooted into safe mode w command prompt and was finally able to replace the original root.fs.
One other thing to possibly be aware of... I have an older laptop; so, when I install BlueStacks, it tells me that it is installing a low res version.
The root.fs created by the install is 196083712 bytes. The replacement root.fs created by the above process is only 171966464 bytes.
After restarting windows into normal mode, BlueStacks just hangs on the Loading... screen. If I put back the original root.fs created by the Bluestacks installer, it runs fine, but is not -- of course -- rooted.
Thanks a lot root now works on my bluestacks running Win 64 bit
I'm a happy Droid now!!

[PC-APP] SGN3 Mod Tool

DOES IT WORK? I am yet to receive my SGN3, so I haven't been able to test.
I made this tool originally for SonyEricsson Xperia X10, but have now modified it to work for our Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I hope it will make life a little easier when modifying files on the device. It uses ADB to pull and push files, change file permissions and much more - so users don't need to remember long command prompt/terminal emulator commands! It also has a nifty little application manager, which allows for quick installation, backup, and removal of both pre and self -installed software. It has a LogCat function to read and save logs on the go when investigating errors, as well as functionality to decompile/recompile APK, JAR and ODEX files, sign and zipalign APKs, and decompile System images. Finally, straight ADB shell access is integrated.

Note: Make sure your phone is connected in debug mode, you have root privileges, and unsecured your device's shell. The application will try to unsecure your shell if you haven't already, but worst case scenario you might have to do this manually.
Also, the manage ROMs functionality is still experimental, and the Recompile System function is disabled. If you know how these processes can be automated, let me know and I will incorporate the functionality.
If you have problems, let me know and I will try to sort them out with you. Keep in mind that often when a modification goes wrong, you can simply push back the original files and reboot. So keep backups handy!
Reserved in case of future expansion.
Very interesting, will test when i get back home. Thanks!
Sound good mate. I'll give it a go I reckon
Wow sounds awesome thank you very much
Does it backup app data as well? This looks very promising. As it is java based, would it work on other platforms?

It is telling me the device is offline. For example.. Roboot, Refresh Content, etc.. do not nothing.
Make Dir says "Directory Created" but does this...
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell mkdir "/test"
error: device offline

you have to allow ADB to acces your device..
when you try to do anything with ADB, look at your phone screen, it will give you a popup that will enable you to 'allow ADB connections'

I watched my screen. I got no popups other than the original "usb connected" popup when I plugged in the usb cable.
Edit: Deleted the app. No Support from Dev.

this actually does work!
if somone still wants to use it for whatever reason you can:
get a kernel that is not SElinux enforcing (permissive).*
get adb insecure by chainfire and switch to insecure mode.
be sure that in the app it says:
Binary: Insecure
USB debugging: Enabled
should work, at least for me it did.
not sure if every custom kernel(permissive) works.
*lastest wanam exposed module has an experimental feature to set the selinux to permissive.
i havent tried it but maybe you can do the above with stock kernel and just setting permissive mode in wanam.
edit: does not work with stock kernel, at least for me.
i have not tested every function of this tool but connecting, pushing, pulling and so on work.
there are other tools that can do that, i wrote this just for information.
works well here! well done
cant get it to work on mac
thanks MrRusch for your great work!
I am a newbie about these stuff so forgive me if these are questions are stupid~
I was trying to use it to deodex the SamsungChineseIME apk and I got 2 questions want to ask.
1. when it asks for "Install Framework?", I choose the framework-res.apk extracted from my rom. But I also notice there is a twframeworkres.apk in the rom, do I need to include that also?
2. I came to a prompt asking me for "Select framework directory to reference" (as attached screen), I was hold back since I don't know what to choose for this.
Thank you again for your effort and this great tool!
