Just run the SuperOneClick rooting tool. Click root. Wait till its done. Click Enable Non-Market apps. Restart Phone. Install apps from the SD card.
You dont get actual root but you can install any app you want no hassle.

This is confirmed. I ran SuperOneClick. It ran all the way through with no errors like I got root and then I clicked Allow Non Market Apps. After disconnecting and rebooting, of course I truly did not have root, but I tried installing a non market apk file from my sd card and it worked!! It did not add the option to the settings menu, but nonetheless it is enabled. This should work great for the Amazon Appstore now. Thanks for the heads up!!
Confirmed x2 - this was all I was looking for ATM.. Didn't think about using the ol SuperOneClick
SOC will give you temp root until you reboot.
All you need is temp root to enable Non-market apps...I suggested this to people a month or so ago.
Glad to see it show up again. Its a super-easy solution for those not wanting full root, but still wanting sideloading.
It's even easier to do than the Sideloading wonder machine...
Works great. I still think its time for me to go all the way.
Gives temp root? Sweet all I need

At first Amazon store was cool getting a couple free apps. Then I realized they don't transfer over and you have to continue using amazon store to update them. Kinda sucks just to save a couple bucks.

althou searching would help, ATT has disallowed the install of non-market apps. you need to be rooted with sideloading enabled.
So I got it rooted, but how do you enable sideloading? I still can't install anything from my sd card. I know sideload wonder machine works, but I have some apps backed up with titanium backup and would like to be able to restore on the inspire.

If you're using a rooted stock ROM this option won't be there, you'll need to use SideLoadWonder machine. Other ROMs have the option to allow non market apps in settings (i'm using Revolution and it's there)

Rooting means voiding your warranty.
I don't think you can screw if you follow instruction step by step. This is my first android phone but learning curve was just a few hours.
Revoultion ROM does have the option of non market apps.

For the heck of it I tried installing an APk through astro file manager. It installed no problems.
I do have a completely stock inspire I bought yesterday.
Just thought I would make a quick mention because I kept seeing that side loading was disabled.

Just tried again and no go, app install blocked for security reasons
Don't know what to say then to he honest. I had astro on here to handle SD card stuff. Downloaded the rock player apk from the website. Installed through astro with no problem.
To make sure I wasn't going nuts, because I had rock installed through the market, I uninstalled both installed rock apps, restarted, and installed only the apk via astro. I did download the apk from my phone.
That's how it worked for me.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
try a different apk besides that possibly cache or something affecting it. but I do know I cant and probaly no others can otherwise would be no reason for sideloader.
I'm on the road but ill find somebrandom apk and try it

I just downloaded pirates vs ninjas and installed via astro again. It'd working. Did you try installing the apk via astro off the SD card?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yes, the Inspire allows sideloading.
Make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked under the Applications tab in the Settings.
Stock inspire supposebly doesn't. The stock rom doesn't have the unknown sources option. I honestly have no idea why it does on mine.
The backlfip allowed it this way. After the Aria though att locked android from installing anything but off the market.
This shouldn't work on my phone, but it does.

this dude is confused lol check unknown sources! yea well just be glad it works for ya because i dont think it does for anyone else, and yes I tried some through astro thats what i always use. Tried again after reading your post no go.

He all! I just my G2X today and was wondering. Is it worth rooting yet with no cusom roms available? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this?
I came from the Vibrant and dont know where to start.
Any help, input and direction is greatly appreciated.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Welcome to the club I was also a Vibrant owner before this.. So here is some quick info that may help save you some time searching.
If you plan on keeping the phone I would root it to get rid of unwanted apps but that is each users own opinion. If you do want to root it I would read this thread to make it easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985
Also if you want to add ClockworkMod Recovery all you need to do is get the newest version of rom manager off the market and select flash ClockworkMod Recovery and the G2X will be the third device down.
After that set back and wait for the custom roms to show up and you will be ready to have all kinds of fun
Hope that helps *some*

So that means that we can create a Nandroid Backup? or the mounted internal memory as sd card will be a problem?
I knew to just wait and it would be a easier way to get clockwork recovery on my g2x using one click root v1.7 because the latest version 1.8 didn't work.plus I heard cyanogen mod 7 is only a couple weeks away

EDIT: You can also just flash THIS by attn1 to accomplish the same goal.
The update for 1.84 for the Inspire 4G was released on 4-29-2011 as an OTA update. It WILL NOT RUN on rooted ROMs.
Things I have personally observed about this ROM:
Quick. Seems to respond very well to input, no real hesitations. I won't tell you quadrant scores because they are useless.
GPS WORKS! Exceptionally well. 3-6 FOOT accuracy. The highest TTL I have seen is 17s.
Fast. HSUPA is working well, 1.3mbps up. I hit 6mbps down on a regular basis with this ROM. YMMV, of course. But it works great here in North Texas.
Third party non market Apps install. Yes, you read that right. There is no selector to turn it on or off, though. They work for me. YMMV.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, PLACE OF RESIDENCE, OR PETS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
S-Off HTC Inspire 4G with microSD card inserted (HOW TO thanks to attn1)
RUU to stock 2.2.1 v1.80 (Located here thanks to cmstlist)
Gingerbreak v1.2 (From Chainfire) loaded on your SD Card
The OTA update note: place in /sdcard/download. This method is untested.
Sideload Wonder Machine if install of Gingerbreak does not work.
A valid Wi-Fi connection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps to achieve a rooted 2.2.1 v1.84 stock ROM
1. RUU your phone to stock following instructions provided in the above thread using the pd98img.zip method, NOT THE .EXE!
2. Boot phone, don't bother adding any accounts or setting anything but a wifi connection up.
3. Go to Settings, choose AT&T Software Update, then choose HTC Wi-Fi Software Update.
4. Download and install
5. Boot phone into updated stock ROM.
6. Install Gingerbreak v1.2 and run it. It will crash HTC Sense launcher, force close it, then you will see an error saying it could not reboot phone. Reboot manually using power button. If it gives you a weird error on boot such as a picture of a phone and a red mark, pull the battery then reboot.
7. ROOT! Yes, you now have root. Verify superuser.apk is in your app drawer, then I strongly recommend installing busybox from the market.
8. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had no issues with 3.0.2.6.
That's it, done! I have had a couple small FC's from SU when first granting permissions to an app, to fix it open the actual superuser app then go back to the offending program. Once granted permissions this should not occur anymore.
I hope this helps!
If I missed anyone in the thanks above it was purely unintentional. PM me and I will correct the oversight.

a little "birdie" told me that at&t is rolling this out to 10K users a day for the first three days, then evaluating the results and - assuming all goes well - will bump up to 25K-50K users on 5/2, and then 50K users a day until done beginning 5/3 or 5/4. don't know for sure, though, if this is why you're having to wait for 1 more day.

If you downloaded the update prior going back to stock Un-rooted, then you need to either format you SD card or use another one. When I went back to stock, the update didn't show up for me, but as soon as I changed my SD card, the OTA came right up after I prompted for an update.

I wouldn't much worry about updating to this if your phone is rooted. Soon enough someone will have a rooted and CWR Flashable version of this. With so many good roms and Devs here I assume it wont be long.
