[Q]Install ATT blocked app from market? - HTC Inspire 4G

Any one know how to install AT&T blocked Apps from Android market without rooting the phone??
I have been searching on the net. Most people said turn on airport mode or takeout the SIM card. I tried both but neither one work.
Anyone have other ways to install those apps? (Calling card is the one I actually want to install)
Thanks a lot,

In the past doing this has worked, though, I have not tried it myself on the Inspire yet.
Power down your phone
Take out your sim
Boot phone
Get on wifi
Go to the appstore and install your app
Power phone down, replace sim and restart
There is some data on the sim that prohibits users from finding/installing certain apps from the store. It should be noted, that this is NOT a solution for apps that require the phone to be rooted to function properly.
Let me know how it goes.

Doesn't work for me...
I even deleted the cache and the app data of Market.

Can you send it from your computer to your phone? Android.com/market.
Crap it's even blocked there.

I've always been able to just put the phone in airplane mode, then connect to wifi, then load market and have access to whatever I need - never had to pull SIM

It won't let me......
I got this error message:
"This item is not available on your carrier" (Please see attached screenshot)

I think the problem is with the app. I have an unlocked Nexus One in addition to my inspire and I can not even get that app to install on the N1, which is unlocked and wifi only since the sim is in the Inspire now.
I used the airplane mode to put PDA net on my phone no problem, it was not available when the phone was hooked to at&t's network. You might want to connect the developer and see if there are specific network requirements.

Well if sideloading does not work... and removing the sim does not either... not sure... which app are you trying to install? Maybe I can try.

I just got pdanet, put your phone in airplane mode then turn on WiFi. Reopen market and search for your app.

I can't find the app if I run Market on the phone (with SIM pulled and wifi).
If I search the the developer (ALEJANDRO TROCCOLI) on the phone(again, no SIM), I only see the Pro version. If I search it on my PC I get the free and Pro.
Thanks again,

you can root the phone and install a "market fixer" app that will simulate the ID of another carrier.

Well... think of this in a positive way... you are taking back control of your device... so that is good

The paid version (Pro) shows up in the market, you could always support the developer...

Why not just use Sideload Wonder Machine if you don't want to root? I'm not rooting and it works perfectly for me.

Hi,
When you say Market Fixer, are you talking about Eris Market Fix? That's the only program remotely close to your description that I was able to find. If not, please let me know which program you are talking about and where I can get it. If you meant Eris Market Fix, does it work on Inspire?
Thank you,
GT

Just want to thanks everyone for answering my post.
I am now rooting and flashing it with a Custom ROM. This is my first Android so it's going to be FUN!
Thanks again!

I don't recall that we're able to remove the register button by renaming a file, but if you rename the checkin service .apk extension to something else (or freeze it in titanium backup) it won't continue to ask you to register and you can press the button and nothing will happen.
If you do find a file to rename to remove the button itself, please do share...

BEFORE u flash to a new firmware use root explorer to go to cache/profile/ and delete the file in that folder
now flash the tablet whichever way works for you

success with the 1568 update.zip ... for whatever reason it didnt like my 2gb or 4gb SDHC cards but when I found an old 1gb Kingston one it happily upgraded itself

unfortunately cat broke the screen, glass is spiderwebbed but the LCD is undamaged and the touchscreen works fine, is the aforementioned £32 eBay replacement what I need then or is there a cheaper alternative given the two expensive/important bits are fine?

I haven't my registration. So, that, It will not work for me.
Anyway, all apps and market are working. I renamed the wowupdate.apk, so, I'm not seing the annoying registration pop-up. The only annoying thing I see yet is the word RGISTER in the upper bar. I can leave peacefully with such annoying word.

Do someone know how can I remove that stupid 3G signal from the status bar at the top screen? This tablet doesn't have a phone app, of course, neither 3G, so, I'd like to get rid of this...
And what about the "1561 update"? Does it worth the download? Does it remove installed apps? If someone got it, I'd like to know what is new... Thanks!

As i know 3g status bar only appears if you enable 3G connection into the 3G settings applecation. by the way an useful program to manage connection (wifi, gps, bluetooht, 3G) easly and quicliy is quicksettings available on the market and free

How to get the "unknown sources" option without rooting

This morning while trying to install calleridfaker.apk onto my phone i accidentally was able to unhide the "unknown sources" option on my HTC Inspire 4G.
Here is exactly what happened:
1.> I downloaded the .apk from 4shared.com and put it onto my sdcard using a USB connection.
2.> Then I opened astro file manager (you can download this from the market for free), went into the "sdcard" folder, found the .apk file and hit install. A message popped up saying installation of 3rd party apps has been disabled for security reasons, please go to settings to change this.
3.> I hit the settings button on the pop up and it took me to 'settings->applications', and there it was right on top, "Unkown sources: Allow installation of non-Market applications". I hit the check mark and everything was good to go . I have rebooted my phone twice since then and the Unknown Sources option is still there.
P.S. This is my first post on xda-developers. Sorry if this was already known but I felt like I needed to share this with the world. Just trying to help .

First, welcome to XDA.
What probably happened is your unrooted phone got the "silent" update from ATT that enables sideloading.
In any case, go root your phone anyway...
Yep, ATT has allowed/opened this option and has pushed this update to the inspire approx a month or so ago. So enjoy the new feature and welcome to xda.
I still do not have it (North Florida) - so annoyed as I install from Dropbox...

You're going to have to take matters into your own hands, probably, if you're tired of waiting... Call up ATT and have them push it on the spot to your phone.
...or root.
Good luck! I have been trying to get this pushed to my phone for a week, Att tech support has been completely useless. Will be rooting phone this weekend.

Hmmm. That's interesting. Others have reported it as being no longer than a 10 minute process. I guess it just depends on who you get on the phone or something.
Damn, I thought I had discovered something cool . Thanks guys for telling me before I went around making a fool out of myself, telling everybody I had "discovered" something. Lol .
Also, to everyone who hasn't gotten the 'silent update' yet, I usually tend to get updates whenever I hook up my phone to my PC as a 'Disk drive'. Would explain how I got it trying to sideload. Might wanna try that out.

Well, I don't think hooking it up to your pc was anything more than a coincidence, as that silent update was OTA. There's nothing that physically connecting the phone to a pc would do to initiate an OTA update via ATT.
yeah , i haven't gotten he update either...i'll be rooting this weekend
I know ATT used to push the updates out for all phones when you rebooted your phone. So if you never turn your phone off and on, that might be the reason for not getting the update yet.
Thanks i was looking for calleridfaker for long time couldnt remrmber name of it. Thanks

I'm missing something obvious probably.. I've tried ddms and my phone explorer.. both launch and I see the GUI, but neither sees my Sensation.
I do have the SDK (and JDK) installed. WinXP7x64
MyPhoneExplorer has to be installed on both computer & phone. make sure to open the program on both. For the screen shot you need to be plugged in via USB (just choose disk drive when the option pulls up on your phone)
Has anybody noticed that in the libs we have a screenshot lib?
libScreenshotUtil.so to be exact.

It says on htc's site that you are able to take a screenshot with the power key and (menu? Volume? I forget). However, when I tried it, I couldn't get it to work. I just use the sdk.

and well, adb isn't working either.. not sure what is wrong...
EDIT: reinstalled SDK.. no joy.. I can USB connect as disk drive and see the device that way.. so USB is not completely dead..
Try to connect with my phone explorer through wifi. I know both apps have to be open. I sometimes have to click connect more than once on the pc for it to actually connect.
Also make sure on the computer app you have it set to connect to android and not a sony ericsson. That's in the settings.

There is an app called "No Root Screenshot It" on the market. It has a PC program that you download too. The difference is however, with this program you just plug the phone to PC, run the program on PC & then you can make screenshots until your next reboot without having to be wired to the PC.
**This is extremely simular to the temp root process available**
I would recommend temp rooting it, and using a program like drocap2 after root.
Since the process is almost identical it would only make sense to root and give yourself access to better suited programs than "No Root Screenshot It" which is limited in its abilities.
Finally....
What I finally ended up doing, after reinstalling the SDK and the google USB driver (it refused to ever use/install the google usb driver), was to go to HTC and get HTC Sync
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1073&news_id=918
I installed that.. unplugged and re-plugged the phone and Win7 finally did a driver install which did not fail.
Now I can use ADB and ddms, so I can take screenshots that way.
thanks for all the suggestions!
drocap2 works great on temp rooted Sensation

Thank you very much for recommending drocap2 (can be downloaded it via Android Google Market).
I installed it after temp root via Eugene373's posted method.
I did find that I had to disable SU notification setting else the "toast" or "notification bar" gets into the screen shot.
I used shake trigger for the lock screen while other screens, I prefer to use the notification bar trigger. Works great!

U don't need an app or root. The sensation has the screenshot function included in the phone. Just hold down the power button THEN hit the home key. I had previously thought you have to press the 2 together to take the shot....but it's not. That should take your screenshot and saved in your camera shots folder. Hope that helps

Help! Deleted my launcher with Titanium Backup and now phone doesn't work!!

I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong section
Hey there everyone. I have a My Touch Q LG-C800. I believe that I might have bricked my phone but I was on a couple different web sites stating that if you can still factory reset your android phone you should be alright.
So let me explain how it happened.. First I rooted my My Touch Q, everything was running perfectly then I thought I wanted to do more since I thought woah! rooting was so easy and I used "SuperOneClickv2.3.3" to root my phone, so it was really easy.. lol but ya then I started to use "Titanium Backup" since I really hated having all those other stocked apps on your phone, figured it could help boost the speed of my slowww My Touch Q. Opened up Titanium Backup and went to the system apps, I first stored the apps that I thought I still might need to my micro sd card, then after finished backing up those apps, I then uninstalled the apps that I found was unneeded. After I finished backing up and uninstalling all the unneeded apps I figured that hey! I backed everything up and I should be perfectly fine to do anything else now!! So I went to the market (Play) and downloaded "Rom manager"..
So then I downloaded rom manager and it had and option to find a rom online and I chose the rom with the most download cause I thought it should be the best choice to make. I click on it and I forgot what it was called (I connected my phone to my laptop and am able to get the phone into usb storage mode, microsdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0-Z71-signed.zip and microsdcard/clockworkmod/download/download2.clockworkmod.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip-- I'm not too sure what this means but it could be of help). then after clicking on the rom to download it then gave me a lists of versions to download I of course chose the stable version. (sucks that I can't remember what rom I actually download..) after I downloaded it it told me to back up my rom.. so I thought it'd back up everything from the phone. (I know I should have done my research before proceeding..) after backing up the phone.. it just did like a factory reset on my phone.. and I mean that was fine but the main problem is that after it had the basic tips tutorial and all that jazz and intro to stuff for the phone, I chose to skip all that stuff because I've restored my phone plenty of times.
But this time was different I clicked next and after that it wouldn't let me go to my phones like "home" and when I clicked the home button it download go to the home screen. Like the notification is still there just not that bottom part, it's just black there and I can't click anything there. Although I can drag the notification bar down and stuff. and lock screen works fine.
So I think my phones still not bricked.. but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the "default launcher" back.. on to the phone because I remember I had uninstalled it from my phone because I was using a different launcher "adw launcher or adw freak launcher, one of the two". I btw did back the default launcher with Titanium Backup, the default launcher is "com.lge.launcher-380e147c617387bc38cabec97baa8437.apk.gz"
If there is anyone out there that could possibly help me fix my phone that would be very much appropriated My girl friend had bought me this very phone for me because I have been using the gravity t for sooooo long lol and it hasn't been working well the touch screen it had had totally mess up. Anyways have a wonderful night everyone!
Go to google market on a pc search for launcher like adw and install .It should install on your phone even thou your on a pc (make sure phone is on) then click home button on phone adw should start. Then you can reinstall default launcher from tb. Not sure if this will work but worth a try.

I btw did back the default launcher with Titanium Backup, the default launcher is "com.lge.launcher-380e147c617387bc38cabec97baa8437.apk.gz"
If there is anyone out there that could possibly help me fix my phone that would be very much appropriated My girl friend had bought me this very phone for me because I have been using the gravity t for sooooo long lol and it hasn't been working well the touch screen it had had totally mess up. Anyways have a wonderful night everyone!

He has no launcher simple so the phone does not have a homescreen until he installs a launcher somehow. I just offered one way to get one installed when he had no access to play on his phone. There are lots of other more complicated ways but was hoping to make it easy for him.

Seeing as you seem to have used SuperOneClick, you must have enabled USB Debugging, which means you can use ADB. Connect your phone via USB to your computer (have it switched on at the time) and open a command prompt in a folder with adb.exe and the APK for some launcher. Run the following command then:
Code:
adb install launcher.apk
(assuming the launcher is named launcher.apk; change the command to reflect the real name of the APK).
After it says it has finished installing, press home and the launcher should hopefully load.
Try what was suggested above with the Play Store and see if that works, but if it doesn't, this will.
Or else make a flashable zip file with any launcher .. reboot recovery flash it..
Thanks will try it try it out.

Go to google market on a pc search for launcher like adw and install .It should install on your phone even thou your on a pc (make sure phone is on) then click home button on phone adw should start. Then you can reinstall default launcher from tb. Not sure if this will work but worth a try.

How would I be able to access the file that I'm downloading from the market on pc? Would I have to connect to the internet and sign into my gmail account on my phone? If so that's not possible because I can't go anywhere, the bottom part under the notification bar is all blank after the android's like introduction thing. And I won't be able to connect to the internet because I can't even go into my phones control panel? or what ever to find my home wireless network and enter my password
Boot? as in ..

Hmm by boot do you mean screen turns on and the intro starting and setting up screen starting up after the video? Then yes it does in fact boot up. Just the middle screen isn't functional because I uninstalled awn dock or what ever, the like defualt launcher for the phone. Have I installed the rom?.. That's hard to answer. I have "Downloaded it with rom manager" and clicked on install after reboot but.. I do not believe that it actually install.. I mean how would you know if it installed?

Remember I have done the factory reset on this phone so I'm still unsure if usb debugging is automatically on still or checked. I hope it is though. and there is not way for me to actually go into the settings and check if it is on. but will definitely try this out. I've never used ADB before so idk how or where to get it, I have tried to figure it out but wasn't successful. I do have APK, along wth Android SDK Tools.

Yes if your phone is not signed in to gmail my way won't work sorry about that but you could try installing a launcher using droidexplorer its a android file browser for pc that also allows you to install apk s

Hey don't be sorry! I will give droidexplorer a try, would the phone need to be in USB Debugging? If so I don't have access to go to my settings and check the usb debugging.
Hello I'm back to share with you guys some wonderful news!
Ya I was able to fix everything by going back into the internet just like scull2011 suggested but the problem was I wasn't able to move around or get in the wireless internet connection to do so. But thank god the genius button was there! lol! Idk how or why I went into the "genius button" but I started off just by accidentally saying settings.. for some reason but then I was sent to the settings place and I was able to set up my wireless internet and searching for the market and installing a new launcher (in my case I downloaded adw launcher) and now I'm able to get everything to work luckly!! Never ever would have thought of using the genius button!
Yesss now I don't have to use my Gravity T!!
Thank you to everyone who responded on this thread so quickly!!
It really shows the community and network of people on xda-developer who are willing to help people like me!!
Glad you fixed it.

Google gmail apps doesn't work now
I backed up my files with Titanium Backup hoping that it'd back up that data but guess not the sock apps? So I got the launcher going again but now I came across another problem.. My gmail accounts doesn't synce anymore or google music because I had uninstalled the sock app Social + 3.0.200. I tried to find it on play store but doesn't seem to have it. If anyone came across this problem before please help. Thanks.
Or if there is not way in getting the stock app back on does anyone know of a Calender App that doesn't need syncing? I'm starting school and it'd be really helpful to have a powerful Calender App.

Kyocera E4710 (DuraXE) Serivce/Engineering mode?

Hi all,
Are there any known codes to put the Kyocera E4710 DuraXE into service/engineering mode? I've tried the standard Android codes; no go. Also tried the 111111/options/menu code, and it doesn't work.
Thanks for any info!

There are apps on the Playstore that'll allow you to enter engineering mode without any codes.

Would love to do that, but this POS phone will not run the PlayStore app. Just freezes. Other APKs expect touch-screen functionality to work, and don't allow for manual navigation of the cursor/screen area with the keys. I'm very limited as to what I can do with it.
Tried rooting with KingRoot, but the phone hangs/strange screens post-root. I reverted back to factory for stability reasons.
AT&T Dura XE to T-Mobile (not working)
I also have a Kyocera E4710 (Dura XE unlocked AT&T). With my T-Mobile sim card I only have internet and no voice or text and WIFI hotspot will not work. In the settings menu>system>about phone>status, I always have "unknown" instead of my phone number. I have all APN settings as per T-Mobile instructions, but can never get voice or texts to work. Any one have any suggestions?

Does anyone know how to HARD reset this phone or at least get into recovery via key presses?
Got one here with a user lock, can't access any menus only the emergency dialer.
I know it's a pos phone but just for sh*ts and giggles. xD
How do you root this phone?
Any one rooted this device?
