Some advice from you guys

so i just got my captivate. i've rooted and put busybox on it, i'm having some trouble trying to remove the at&t permissions so that i can install my own apps. But im wondering if i can/should skip this process and go ahead and install a custom rom. and are there any that you guys can recommend that might resolve the issue with the gps and remove the lock att has on installing apps. thanks in advance.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751182 will help you with all of this. I am using it with my Captivate, I can sideload apps, get off AT&T Market apps, it got rid of their bloatware. Most of the bugs that it had with the stock ROM and bloatware are gone, very snappy now, GPS, for me is working fine, my battery life has increased drastically since flashing with this. Hope this helps. Are you sure your rooted? Do you have Super user permisions and Titanium Backup? If you don't then you aren't rooted but this Unleash the Beast ROM/Tool will root it for you too!

Sorry but I forgot, you can find ROM Manager on the market get it and make a back up of your current ROM just incase you need to flash back to it for any reason, it's easier than using Odin. This will also give you ClockworkMod Recovery.

thanks for the post, ive tried two things so far the one you sent me and another 8mb file but both wont allow super user to function properly so i cant get sideloading to work. everything else seems to be fine all the bloatwares gone so is the att boot but sideloading wont seem to go. i tried running scripts in another install and now when i open the terminal emulator and enter su it says permission denied. is there a whole rom i can install a madaco rom or something. i've even heard people mention there was an early froyo rom floating around for the galaxy s

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734871 is what I've seen as far as early Froyo releases go. Too buggy for me, I will wait for the real thing or until more bugs are worked out of the early one.
Not sure about the other ROMS or sideloading, I haven't tried it yet. I'm a noob to Android and I am learning and reading before doing anything that I can't fix.

both threads have a lot of info on the sideloading. Hope this helps.

hurray fixed. i just had to clear the data on SU and then ran sideloader in terminal, hurray best phone. if only i could figure out how to keep these buttons on the bottom of the phone lit whenever the phone is on. theyre constantly turning off then ive got to do a double press thing once in a while.

Glad to hear. Yeah those buttons are a small annoyance for an otherwise awsome phone, I'm used to them now. Enjoy your phone.

[Q] Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 problems

Hey guys,
I just used a flashtool to upgrade to android 2.1 today since the official upgrade isn't available yet. Everything is working well, except i'm not able to use 3g. Is there anyone out there who might be able to help me remedy this problem, or at least tell me what I probably did wrong? I'd really appreciate it.

The official upgrade is out there. Plug your phone into your computer and update from the se software
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I have the X10a. and whenever I plug it in to use the PC companion for upgrade it said my phone was up to date even with android 1.6. Was I missing something?

Alright i figured it out. I just needed to add the att apn infornation to the phone. Aftet that it worked like a charm

Helllp!
I have been trying to root my x10a. I managed to get to the point where superuser is on the phone but it does nothing. I tried to update the superuser as the message went something about 'bin v su' and update but the update failed. I tried to use superone click and got it to state that root files are in the phone now, but I tried to use titanium backup and it says must be rooted. I spent the last few days forum hopping to find a solution, downloaded SDK setup and all platforms and tried to manually put in code from the cmd.exe and it gives me something about adb is not recognized as a command. I googled the error and tried some of the recommended fixes at sxeveral sites, but I have had no luck with instituting superuser to full function. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I know I'm close. HEY YOU GUYS! (electric company on PBS)

The official upgrade is not out there in all markets. SE is setting a record for the time frame required to diseminate an upgrade globally. Comical.

You have to input the APN Settings for your carrier manually.

I do not understand and I intend upon putting 2.1 in it after its rooted, but it tells me that I need to flash into recovery for SU, but I can't back up the phone without proper root...or can I? Please more info. I generally do not ask for help, but I am in up to my nostrils with this and I want to succeed. I have tried superone click, I downloaded androot, but i CAN'T EVEN GET THAT TO RUN. Several others and manual. So do I flash from here? with no back up? and if so, how to flash to recovery, please. thanks.

If you are on 1.6, then SuperOneClick will not work. You need to be up to 2.1 for SuperOneClick to work. I do not know Androot though.

Thanks I will search how to input the APN and check in from here.

OK, I am trying to root my X10 and this is the first time that I have tried to do something like this. I am on step 2 of a guide which is to enable USB debugging and run 2_root_system, but every time I try to do it, it says "Error: Device not found" please help as I did the flash downgrade to start the process and my phone is really basic right now.

Thats very similar to the issue I'm having. Its related to the USB driver. However, I can't seem to find the USB driver to talk to the phone so that the root can be sideloaded to the phone.

im from india, i hav an unlocked at&t grey market piece. It shows on my PC companion dat d latest software is installed on d fone. how do i g8 it from 1.6 to 2.1 o betta?

[Q] WiFi Won't Work after uninstalling Busy Box!

Hey,
Yesterday, I uninstalled Busy Box (Stericson) from my phone using the uninstall feature inside the app. now I can't get my WiFi to obtain an IPAdress from my router. All other devices connect just fine. It also appears that I have lost Root. All the apps that require root access are allowed access but can't obtain it. Please help me, at least get WiFi back up and running? I've searched through many of the posts and none answer my question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Put busy box back on. This is needed for SU to give root. Not sure about the wifi though as it should not need it but as you stated you know when it started just reverse what you did and it should be working again

tried that
Thanks, but already put the version of Busy Box back on and it said that it was not given root access, even though my superuser is granting it access. Then I tried to install it anyways, but the Install fails every time. Guess I really did a number to my phone. The real main reason I need help is to get my WiFi working. It stopped working this morning, for what seems to me to be, no reason. But gaining root access may be my only way to fix this since it stopped right after I lost root.

No prob. Sorry but with custom roms have to reflash the rom is something you should get used to.
I have to ask. Why did you remove busybox?

I am kinda new to the whole rooting thing so I have the tendency to over tinker got the pro version realized that it was not what I needed and uninstalled it but instead of uninstalling the app from the settings menu or another app I uninstalled it from within the app which from other forums I've read is not the right course to take. I've also noticed that it seems that I have lost the SU Binary even though the SU is still there. Is that from removing Busybox?

Ok I see how that happened. Yeah your best bet would be to reflash the rom.

Ok, I'll give that a try, thanks again.

I just recently picked this up from walgreens $94.15 out the door.
It came with root access, I got it home popped in a SD card that I had SuperSU and Root Explorer on, allow unknown sources was already checked so I used the native file manager and tried to install SuperSU, it installed, I opened it it asked to update the binary I said ok it said success, so I went back and installed Root Explorer opened it it asked for Superuser permissions I said yes and Voila!:victory: FULL ROOT. I then called southerntelecom to ask about the firmware update to support google play and what not; if it would revoke Super User permissions like most firmware updates do. I could tell that they didn't really want to give me a straight answer, was told they couldn't answer, that they weren't sure if it would or not, (how could they not know? ) I was even put on hold a couple of times, I was eventually told that someone in tech support was going to install the update on one of the tablets they had there and they would call me back and have an answer for me. That was on a Friday, and believe it or not, Monday afternoon they called me back But they still really didn't have an answer for me, said that tech support didn't get a chance to do an install to check .
But anyhoo what I WAS able to find out, was that, supposedly, every thing needed to support google was already installed, just missing the google APK's because of licensing, kinda like CM. So time to do some investigating. I took a jelly bean gapps package (I think it was for 4.2.3 cause google ears was in it) and started comparing; and what I found was it did seam to have all the needed underlaying google framework support files except for com.google.android.media.effects.jar, Facelock.apk, Phonesky.apk/aka playstore, and of course the regular google apps that you can download from the playstore. I of course had everything extracted out of the gapps.zip file and I just dropped them into their respective places and folders, set permissions and ownership, deleted dalvic cache and cache and rebooted and waited..........aaaannndddddddd BAM! :highfive::victory:
I now have an 8" tablet with full Root SuperUser capabilities, 1ghz dualcore processer (overclocked with set cpu,) 1GB/DDR3 ram, Dual cameras, WI-FI,(look's like it also has support for a 3g dongle), Bluetooth, HDMI out and fully supports google play store and whatnot.
I cant complain, pretty pleased with it actually, it's fast, and seems to have decent battery life and I also now have init.d support on it. There's a few more tweaks I would like to do to it yet like expanding the 4gb internal storage with the 32gb external SD card; ideally I would like to seamlessly merge the two so the tablet would see just one 36gb storage place for all apps and whatnot but I think I'm hoping for too much on that one:silly:

Please help me
Good morning sir/mam, I'm resetting my Polaroid A8 but i can't reset because i don't know how to boot in recovery mode. Can you help me how to boot in recovery mode? . Thanks in advance

[Q] Root for BLU Studio D651-- 6.0 HD

I have read the other threads numerous times, and for the life of me can't get this phone rooted.
It is the D651 version and it's running Lollipop from an OTA update.
I tried rooting before allowing the update, but couldn't get that to work, so I decided to go ahead and update to lollipop thinking that would solve my problem
NOT!
I've tried KingoApp---FAILED
iRoot----FAILED, both phone version and computer version
Towelroot----FAILED
Does ANYONE have any suggestions?
I downloaded MTK Engineering, and went into MTK Settings/Log and Debugging/User2Root/Root
but that didn't seem to do anything either.....not sure why I even did that other than reading in one of the other threads to go into engineering mode and allow root.....I'm assuming that's what this means?
I am really getting frustrated by this...please, if anyone can offer any tips/tricks/or insight on what I am doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.....

Try Kingroot
First excuse my English but I'm using google , you need to download Aptoide ( which is an alternative app store ) from Aptoide you write browser and then install it , and looking for the KIGROOT installed application to appear clicking on the ' look at other stores " there will KINGROOT appear with an icon of lightning , is in Chinese , click on the icon and wait until the middle of root, then check with root checker , you then recommend to be root to delete the store of Aptoide.
Install a kind of SU called Kinguser , I install CWM or Philz , when I have you posting like . good Luck

Hello Buddy i just got this phone and the 1st thing i did was update it because it was on kk know it is lolypop and i used kingo root method and workede like a charm. it also gave me kinguser and purify..

Yeah, I managed to get it to work also.
Then went so far as removing Kinguser and replaced it with SuperUser.
Caused a bunch of problems in doing so, but managed to get everything in working order......to an extent.
Now, no matter how many times I try, I can not unroot or return to factory settings.
Even wiping the phone and flashing stock/recovery doesn't seem to work.
I've been trying to 'wipe' the phone and return it to out of the box status several times but.....no joy.

I'm going on a huntch
Means this is mtek phone
Thinking back to moto g the xt we had to get a unlock code from Motorola and use the n send this extra long key by email to moto for exchange of an unlock code.
Anyone think maybe same rule might apply?? Just guessing cause I want to see this thing unlocked an going cause this audio is really weak on my end and the touch screen is the pits when typing its like 50 x then it types the letter

I noticed after I used king root everything I changed started to go back to the way it was n or disappeared.

Kingroot seemed to work

Seems to work only for awhile until you start trying to make heavy system changesit starts to bugger up. I got that same page its in my opinion a temporary exploit method.
