1. DOWNLOAD USB DRIVERS
Motorola ADB Driver 32bit
Motorola ADB Driver 64bit
2. INSTALL THE SDK
-Download latest SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
-Extract Archive to C:\SDK\ (or C:\Android, or whatever you want)
3. Enable debugging on your phone (thanks naplesbill)
-Goto Settings > Applications > Development > and Check the USB debugging option
4. Optional, but recommended
-Setup Enviroment Variables:
On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add the full path to the tools/ directory to the path AFTER A SEMICOLON (;C:\SDK\tools\) .-Setup Droid Explorer:
Goto Droid Explorer Downloads and snatch the latest version, then install. (mine showed an error during install i believe due to the lack of HTC drivers. If you installed motorola's drivers it should still be in your start menu and work fine)
If for some reason you can't figure it out, install the drivers then try this installation guide: ADB For Dummies Guide
ADB APK Install instructions
j101399j said:
1. Create a folder called adb on your C drive
2. Extract all files to your adb folder
3. Copy the cmd.exe file (copy the file don't make a shortcut to it or move it) from your "C:\Windows\System32" folder to the adb folder
4. Install the downloaded USB driver
4. Once you have the driver installed, on your phone enable debugging mode (Menu --> Settings --> Applications --> Development --> Check USB Debugging)
5. Copy the apk files you want installed to your "C:\adb\tools" folder. The adb.exe and cmd.exe should be in that tools folder.
5. Open the cmd.exe file
6.Type the following command:
Code:
Code:
adb install [B]application.apk[/B]
Where application.apk is the name of the apk to install
Your app should now be installed
Please note that you cannot install apps used on 1.6, 2.x builds

BACKFLIP SYSTEM DUMP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642684
BACKFLIP SOURCE CODE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645369
Don't you still need root?
I fail to see how this can help without rooting the Backflop unless Droid Explorer has some way of overriding that setting.

It doesn't help deleting the protected apps, but it makes it easier to install apks. This is especially helpful since the backflip doesn't allow anything to be installed through phones interface except through the market.
Ok, it works, but only if you turn on the Applications, Development, USB Debugging in the settings menus.
Well, that's kind of a given as ADB won't work without USB Debugging on.

We meet again Charrion! This is like the third time today I've run into you.
Don't need to have root to install APKs via ADB. Even us poor Milestone owners can do it via 'ADB install <app.apk>.'
I am just pointing that out for those that aren't familiar with that. I imagine there will be users who wouldn't normally bother with this, doing it just to be able to install non-market apk files.

OK, so you can install apks through adb even without unknown sources being enabled.
Has anyone determined if the option to enter debug mode is still available on the backflop? I wouldn't be at all surprised if they disabled that option also.
I'm also curious whether the backflop has a signed mbm like the Milestone to prevent loading custom roms.

The use debug mode is indeed available, I just forgot to mention turning it on.
From what I understand, this phone will be rooted like the cliq.... unfortunately for that to happen certain key files need to be leaked.
@moosefist;
Thank you so much for posting this.

So; I'm new to the whole Android stuff; but what files need to be "leaked" in order to do this?

According to Skrilax_CZ a modmymoto moderator:
If we are up to root it; we need the shx/sbf flashfile, which must be leaked. Then I can see if the CLIQ RAMDLD exploit is present in here or whether has it been fixed as on the new CLIQ firmwares.

It was those files being leaked that allowed the CLIQ to be rooted...
I will be watching this thread closely I'm tired of having edge on my android....I need 3g for once!
Has anyone given this a try under Linux? I read the ADB beginners guide, but it didn't mention anything about drivers or whatnot. I'd really like to get this phone, but if I can't develop for it on my platform of choice, I don't think I need it that badly.

This is from androidforums.com about this spicifically
http://androidforums.com/motorola-b...on-market-apps-via-adb-solved.html#post419647
On MacOS, ADB doesn't need a USB driver for your phone. Just download the SDK, and you can execute ADB from a terminal.
On Linux, all you need to do are to follow the instructions here:
Developing on a Device | Android Developers
Specifically the bit about creating and chmod'ing an /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file.
Hope AT&T fixes this issue soon, it's ridiculously stupid to attempt to disallow non-market apps given that ADB works.

Thanks much, I'm just getting started on navigating all these forums. =)
Would it be possible for someone to create a utility to turn this option on, then load it via ADB? Or would this require root access?
BetterCut or AnyCut?

I don't have a Backflip, but it may be possible to find hidden settings / controls by using BetterCut or AnyCut. Both are in the Market.
I'd be interested in knowing. A crippled phone is a tiny electronic soul yearning to breathe free and live free.
I have a backflip, and just installed anycut. Do you know what I would need to fill in as the new shortcut to get to that option? I'm at work now, but will be doing the development method to install apks later under linux (gowalla app, most likely)
This is my first android phone, so I'm pretty excited to get it broken open and crapware free.
I just ordered the Backflip. Yes, I'm a newb at all this andriod, and rooting stuff. But, I'm in the process of learning more. I think it will be easier when I have the phone in hand to play with.
But, do you guys really think that someone will take the time to root the backflip, considering, (what I have read) that it is alittle out dated?
I'm going to attempt the non-market app install, once I get the phone. This forum is great, from what I've seen so far. I'll definatly be staying tuned to this thread.
Thanks guys,

Hi,
I have a WellcoM A69 mobile phone I would like to connect to with Eclipse for debugging purposes. It is running Android 1.5 cupcake. I'm a n00b here so I can't post a link to the specs, but it's easy to find them on Google (you may need to use Google translate for Thai language translation as this phone is for the Thai market).
Even though I enable the Development USB Debugging option, Eclipse doesn't detect it. Is there something in the ROM created by WellcoM that would prevent USB debugging?
I saw this with a MID Android tablet I tried before as well. Can they disable the debugging option even though the menu option for this still exists? Or perhaps there is something else I have to do?
For lesser known devices, what can I do to get access like this? How can I find out how to reboot the device, perform recoveries, install custom ROMs, etc.?
Thanks,
gonzobrains
So I'm trying to root my Droid Maxx post 12.15.15 System Update and I'm having trouble. I'm not new to rooting, but I am inexperienced using ADB commands.
Anyways, like any non-lazy person would do I've researched, and searched, endlessly on how to achieve root. I found the "RockMyMoto" exploit, but I'm having problems and looking for help. Before I go on it is my understanding "RockMyMoto" is for the Droid Ultra, but is suppose to work on the Droid Maxx.
So I've done everything the forum says, by jcase (thanks for your work by the way), but I've run into a problem. It seems with the newest system update they've removed Developer Options from the phone. Either that or I can't find it! I've searched my settings high and low, but it's a ghost and doesn't exist. I need to access this to check USB Debugging option so that I can used ADB.
Can anyone else confirm it is no longer on their device either or help me find it?? Also, can anyone of you out there tell me if the RockMyMoto will NOT work for the Droid Maxx???
I want to complain while I'm here also, for Motorola removing that option (if it really is gone). That's some BS. I've had Motorola devices ever since the OG Droid and it feels like they're trying to prevent me from doing what I want with my phone!

Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number a few times > It will say your a developer now > Go back and you will see developer options above About Phone > Check USB Debugging option in Developer Options
USB debugging is mainly for developers, allowing them to use the android sdk (software development kit) to communicate with the device. However, USB debugging can be extremely useful as it allows us to use adb commands which can pull and push files to the device even when it does not boot correctly.

It wasn't so bad, once we knew what to do. My question, why make it a "secret" passage? On another note, is anyone having trouble with adb commands with the Maxx? I have been rooting phones since original Droid, and for some reason, I can't get the push command to work with my Maxx.
Hi there.
I got my hands on this CUBOT X6 with broken screen. I can see the screen just fine BUT can't operate it from its bottom half approximately.
I would like to use this Android phone as a security camera to watch my garage, but without control, I'm stuck
What I'm trying to achieve here is to:
a) start up the phone and load a security app to it
b) control the phone via some "Android Control"-like app (without using the phone's broken screen)
c) set it up as a security camera and let it take pictures for me
Can anyone pls point me to some links here on the forum to solve my below listed problems ? ( and YES I've spend searching and reading this and few other forums for the last few hours and found just what is listed below)
So....
1. The phone was locked with swipe password with the posibility to control only the top three dots, the other ones are dead, NO USB Debugging available, Phone was set to CHARGE ONLY mode when connected to PC via USB - I managed to download stock ROM and Flashed it but....
2. It asks for a few details and requires you to click NEXT which is in the botom of the screen which is touch-dead. So i have searched and found this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2786395 But....
3. The phone is STOCK rom with absolutely no settings = no USB Debugging enabled and I do not know how to "modify the default.prop" http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=17 when the screen is dead and no usb debuging is enabled = Can't access the file system (or can I ? )
4. The phone is not detected by the Android Control app at all.
5. The recovery is in Chineese ! I tried translating it via Google Translate via pictures, but that did not shows/offers me the option for entering the command prompt (as advised in tread mentioned in point 3)
I'm too lame in this Android/Linux based sea, so if anyone is willing to help me here (if you think its possible to achive my goals a-c) please give me some step by step guide how to do that. (links to treads would be enough)
Thanks a lot !

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and there is no forum specifically for the Cubot devices at this time but I see that you have already posted an identical message in the General Forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728355 which is a reasonable place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. I also see a number of references to your model from a site search at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=cubot x6 which might be worth reviewing. Since your device is relatively uncommon, please be patient and give the experts there plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!

Hey everyone, This is my first post in XDA, I been just a viewer for some time, so don't judge me.
There is a method to Tethering your internet throw USB without using the system tethering which I will explaine about it and give you FREE app that I'm still developing.
Note: PDA Net/Foxi etc and ALL the apps in the market are using the built in Tethering, So for the most, If the system tethering dose not work your screwed.
its in windows only, for now...
So let get right to it, I believe this method will work in all devices( still in testing... ):
0# Download The files here ( APK, OPENVPN, BIUSBT client ) :
Code:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6o7b6S7QCWSZG1rWHBEUmx3MzQ/view?usp=drivesdk
1# Go to settings and enable Developer options and USB DEBUGGING( HAS to be ON ).
2# Install the APK app in the phone, open the app and enable "Service active".
3# Now, somehow, get the rest of the files into your windows PC.
4# install OpenVPN( included in the download files ) and make sure your install the driver when it asks you.
5# Read step 6#than comeback, Now open the "BIUSBT.exe" and keep an eye on your phone
6# Your phone will ask you to allow the client to use USB debugging, Make USRE you click "Always allow this computer".
7# enjoy, the PC client would show connected.
If someone interested for the source code or want to help, let me know.
note: this is still in development if there is anything wrong let me know, also if it worked let me know you phone model or android version plz. also, for now, you can't upload large file. credits to azilink.:good:
