I've been reading here at XDA, I can find the instructions - no problem.
However, in the WIKI there are a few things I don't understand.
The problem also is that all the posts assume you know what's going on and they start in the middle of a thread.
Then there's advice to use Odin, not to use Odin, use this, don't use this.
Some say unmount the SD card, some make no mention of SD card.
Then there's different backups. I've seen Titanium mentioned.
There's advice to get the latest drivers from Samsung - The phone isn't even in the dropdown list of phones, and the letters for the model don't match.
There's the custom ROM advice. Since there aren't many for this phone as yet - and all you want to do is remove crap, what do you look for?
I have to get rid of that stupid Doubletwist and airsync before I toss the phone!

It is rather confusing isn't it...
In a simple answer....
Find the SuperOneClick zip file in one of those threads in the Dev forum & root the phone.Then go get TitaniumBackup ( Pro Recommended ) & you can remove the bloatware. I'd recommend the Pro Version so you can freez the apps you don't delete.
That's what i did on my SGS4G ( and i am not a experianced modder myself )
One problem. I downloaded superoneclick and NET can't find the runtime file.
I'm using XP and ver 4 of NET. I turned off NOD32 and Online Armor.

Uninstalled NET 4 and put in 3. I can open the file, but NOD32 keeps quarantining RAGE. Says it's a trojan.
I don't really want a custom ROM - but would like some more information on Titanium Backup. The Market won't download to the phone, but going to the market on the phone will let me download.
Thanks,

Let it scrub the RAGE file, you need the other one actually to make it work
Which one? PSneuter?
Also some confusion about the Samsung driver. I also have a Galaxy 3. I downloaded Kies and the driver. I downloaded the new driver (did not install it)and stuck it in a folder named Samsung on the Desktop. Kies is in the Samsung folder in programs and I assume that the original driver is in there, too. The driver is listed in Add/Remove programs.
I can either delete Kies or rename that file to something else, and stop Kies from running. So there's 2 drivers, and I suspect they are the same.
Since I can't send a download from the Market on the PC to the phone, I have to download from Market on the phone. I can't install Titanium unless I root, but can I get to Titanium from the phone if I do root?
Thanks

I use linux... so i have no idea what Kies is or does..

So which phone are you trying to Root? Samsung Galaxy 3 or Samsung Galaxy S 4G? If your rooting the S 4G you can find the drivers here http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...728034640796/SGH-t959_Vibrant_USB_Drivers.zip
I have no experience with rooting with XP but I assume it would be essentially the same steps.
If your looking to do stuff on your Galaxy 3 then please go to this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=868
and do your research over there.
It’s not that difficult to root the SGS 4G Phone. The first thing you need to do is make sure your phone is communicating with your computer. Install the Samsung USB drivers.(make sure you have the right drivers for your O.S. either 32bit or 64bit) In your phone go into Settings/Applications/Development and make sure you check “USB debugging”. Connect your Tethering cable to your phone. On your home screen you should see “USB Connected” popup on top of your screen. You should be able to press USB connected button from the drop-down menu on the home screen and see the external SD card on the computer now. If that works then Turn off USB storage. (leave “USB debugging” checked) Open NOD32 application from your system tray. Go to Settings and select “Temporarily disable antivirus,” put your password in if prompted. Then Download SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse, expand the file and go to SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse Directory. Run the SuperOneClick App. When it opens don’t change anything and just click “Root” and let it run. It should say rooted when done. Then go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It will ask for SuperUser permission and accept that on your phone. If that fails press “Problems” button, Then “Get Busybox”. Install the new Busybox. You may have to close and reopen Titanium Backup again. I would say to download and install ClockworkMod after rooting and before getting Titanium Backup, Except ClockworkMod currently does not work for the SGS 4G Yet. So, skip that step for now. You should be able to backup your phone after this.

This is good information, but what about for Mac users? I was previously able to root my Samsung Vibrant just by installing the update.zip file via CWM. Should Mac users wait for this course or can we make it happen now?
Also, what's the benefit of rooting right now? Just to remove bloatware? There's no custom roms yet, right?
Look at the Unix instructions about associating the USB ID with the Mac. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that is the missing step.
Update: Nope -- According to Google, http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up
Setup your system to detect your device.
* If you're developing on Windows, you need to install a USB driver for adb. If you're using an Android Developer Phone (ADP), Nexus One, or Nexus S, see the Google Windows USB Driver. Otherwise, you can find a link to the appropriate OEM driver in the OEM USB Drivers document.
* If you're developing on Mac OS X, it just works. Skip this step.
* If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, you need to add a rules file...

I'm wanting to root the 4G. The Galaxy3 was bought unlocked so it doesn't have the crap on it. Like I said, the ROM seems to be ok, it's just the stupid bloatware.

Macs are out of my Knowledge base. I've taught PC repair at LAUSD in Ca, but haven't studied the Mac thing. It's something I want to learn, just have not got around to it yet.
is anyone working on a rom for 7016, been playing with it for a couple days trying to get it rooted and nand is locked and haven't found anything on how to unlock them, so i can use some of the root programs and install market on it, if anyone has an idea on a root that will work let me know and i will test it
The instructions for getting the Android Market on the 7015 works for this model as well - there is a youtube video that steps through it (search "How install android market on coby Kyros 7022" since I can't post outside links.
I'm having a couple of issues and am looking for a solution - will post in a new thread if I need to. 1) I was able to find the apk for Adobe Flash 10.3 but it doesn't seem to work in the native browser (can browse to you tube but then the videos pop open in another app but on other pages like blogs, etc the video graphic never appears). 2) I can't seem to get this thing to mount an SD card. I bought it primarily to let my son watch movies on it but the native 4GB isn't gonna get me very far. I've tried a 2GB that I had laying around and then went and picked up another SanDisk 8GB. Both are formatted FAT32 and can be read by Windows but as soon as I pop it in , I get the "SD card safe to remove" message.
Just wanted to point out that I stumbled on accessing the add-in flash card.
I reformatted the flash card using Windows, inserted in the device, and then had to power cycle the 7016. The way that they partition the internal memory creates an "SD Card" folder. When you insert an SD card you will get a TFlash folder as a sub directory of that. (not sure yet how you would access a USB flash drive if connected)
After days trying to find a way to root the Coby Kyros 7016, I've finally found a way to install the market!
Neither z4root nor gingerbreak worked with it. I don't think there's a way to root it, at least not now.
But you can install the market (which I guess is the main objective, at least mine was) in a very simple way.
Download the file using the following w w w . 4shared . com / file / 7tR6y6AB / Market . html.
Put them into your tablet.
Open APK Installer and install all of them in this order: OneTimeInitializer.apk, SetupWizard.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk.
Turn your tablet off and turn it on again.
A window saying "Complete action using" will appear, mark "Use by default" and choose the "Launcher".
I hope it helps!
PS: I've heard it works also on the MID7020.
But until now rooting, nothing yet ! any sugestion ?
the final & best answer
after hard work and a lot of trials here is the solution ............... it is superoneclick 2.2 from shortfuse.org ..... and then make shell root then root and it will be rooted

Confirmed working! Just did it three different tabs!
Root confirmed on Coby Kyros MID7016
confirmed root, with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 on Windows 7.
allowed drivers to automatically install (all but the android gingerbread installed)
in superoneclick, check for drivers, and allow to force install driver for android gingerbread (check to see if recognized by adb via 'adb devices')
-at this point, i disconnected the kyros from my laptop, and then reconnected, and then checked in adb again.
then shell root.
then root.
done.
confirmed rooted, working, with superuser app.
Hi!
At Windows-Firefox I do as follows:
1. Logging into electronic banking site with user name and password
2. At my own profile settings there is a button for installing the CA certificate (direct import into Firefox, no download at PC first and no extra clicking on downloaded file)
3. Installing my own .p12 certificate-file from my PC, (I have the file from the bank)
4. Initializing and electronic signing of transactions etc.
Due to settings from the bank, it works, of course, only if I install the CA certificate from the site first, and after that I install my own .p12 certificate.
So, the same thing, I am trying to do at Android 4, Xperia Mini (not Xperia Mini X10), Android own build in browser.
Here are the steps:
1. Downloading the .crt (not .cer!) file of the CA certificate from the site into my PC, then copying the same .crt file into the main directory of my Xperia internal SD card.
2. Copying the .p12 certificate file from my PC into the main directory of my Xperia internal SD card.
3. Installing the CA certificate from the .crt file at the security settings of Android
4. Installing the .p12 certificate at the security settings of Android
5. Logging in at the Android own build in browser
The pop-up with the correctly installed certificate (.p12) shows normally by logging in. So I am able to get into initializing of a transaction.
But at the confirmation of the electronic signing of the transaction, I am getting a pop-up "unknown error"
Could someone help?
I have no idea about the certificate stuff, but have you tried if Firefox for Android handles them the same way?

FF for Android had only for the 13 Beta (Fennec) Version an addon (Cert Manager), which is no more compatible with Android 4...
I already contacted the developer... There are still no compatible updates, so we can temporarily forget about working with such certificates on Android-FF...
Yesterday i flashed a custom ROM and it didnt came with a File Manager installed with it.
Only way to Install apk was to connect to internet and download one File Manager.
While searching foe alternative methods i found 3 ways to install an apk without a FileManager or internet.
So far i've founded 3 methods
ADB
1.Copy the apk to an easily accessible directory eg. D:\name.apk
2.In ADB type adb install D:\name.apk
Done!

Terminal Emulator
For this method you should have terminal emulator installed on your device
1.Open terminal emulator
2.Type su
3.Change directory to SD card cd sdcard/or your apk folder
4.Type ls to see the list of files in your SD card
5.Type pm install name.apk
Done!

But first, some back story:
I integrated a system update using Titanium Backup on my coworker's tablet which broke the stock Google keyboard. This wouldn't have been a problem if poking around the recovery menu didn't also stupidly wipe the thing without so much as a confirmation. Yes, "Vol Up" = "Make Selection" instead of "Move Up" and there was no confirmation prompt so I accidentally picked "Wipe eMMC" and was immediately greeted with "Formatting eMMC." All I wanted to do was look for some cache clearing options and pressed Vol Up to *gasp* see if I could move UP the menu (Vol Down moves down and I expected power/lock to be "Make Selection").
Anyway, I had made a backup with Titanium Backup Pro when I first rooted his tablet (Verizon Ellipsis QMV7A) but it wasn't much use without a file manager and there was no way to use the browser or Play Store without a keyboard. There's also no ROM available, stock or otherwise.
The fix:
I didn't have a USB OTG adapter or a Bluetooth keyboard, but I did have my Galaxy Note 3 and the tablet did have Bluetooth. I paired them without needing the keyboard and initiated a file transfer to send a keyboard APK. It worked beautifully! I enabled alternate sources for APK installs, installed the keyboard, installed Titanium Backup, and was good to go! Of course, I then integrated it and a file manage into the ROM with Titanium Backup Pro.
you rock..!

Hi from France
(1 - sorry for my english then
2 - sorry too if the paths I indicate are not very accurately named in english as my phone menus are in french
3 - I did what follows with success on my rooted Kitkat (build .77) Z3 Compact)
!!! FOR XPERIA OWNERS ONLY AS FLASHTOOL IS A DEDICATED TOOL FOR THESE DEVICES !!!
So if you've got Flashtool installed on your computer, you can also install APK's without the Internet nor a file manager.
All you need to do is:
- on your phone, select "USB debug" mode in the "Developer options" menu (if not activated, tap 7 times on the "About the phone" line at the bottom of the "Settings" menu),
- still on your phone, allow the installation of unknown app in "Settings" > "Security" or "Settings" > "App" (depending of your Android version),
- connect your phone to your PC,
- then on your computer, launch Flashtool,
- once your phone is recognized, click on APK Installer (curved right arrow button: 5th button from the left),
- select the .apk file you need (notice that if stored on your phone, you can select the one you want -click ctrl for selecting several apps ; but if located on your PC, it seems that Flashtool won't let you choose the one you want and will install all the .apk files existing in the folder where they've been downloaded).
That's it, your app should be installed and working.
Not tested on my Mac (did it on my PC under XP SP3), but I guess it should be working all the same.
And as I said above, I did this on a rooted Z3C, so I don't know if it would work on an unrooted phone.
Hope this has been helpful.
Thank you to Joe from the french forum Phonandroid.

No adb no browser nothing needed on this case .. You should be having the default- Downloads app right?
1 Go-to settings_storage_explore
2. Find the apk file use the copy option to copy it to downloads folder(cm 12 legacy xperia not able to open apk from this explore option)
3 launch the downloads and which is there as default
4 and open the apk from it
I found this more easy.
I accidentally uninstalled my file manager and I'm planing to do a factory reset with my phone but if i do so I won't be able to install apps and my alternate es file explorer cause I don't have a file manager... So can you help me on how to re-install my apps after my factory reset?
If you have email access you can email yourself an apk.
