So if I root my phone, I can install non market apps?

Is it as simple as rooting and then being able to install non market apps such as amazon app store, swype, etc? I really dont want to have to do all that sideloading BS...I would rather just root and be able to do it like any other android phone on any other carrier.

In my opinion side loading is easier than rooting but the answer to your question is yes. You can install non-market apps.

While I've never done manual sideloading, whatever the process is and however lengthy it is, wouldn't it be easier just to root and be done with it, rather than having to go through that process for each app?
Rooting isn't that hard, it just requires diligent attention to the process. Once.

That's what I'm wondering. So, after I root (root is easy, I've done it on many phones), am I ready to install non market apps or is there stuff that I have to do AFTER root to be able to install non market apps?

Rooting your phone doesn't in Itself enable sideloading....its flashing a Rom that the developer has enabled that feature. They just tend to go hand in hand.

Look up AC sideload wonder machine, its a very easy few click method to install non market apps on any stock phone, I'm sure some don't work, and I haven't tried on my inspire as I am rooted and rom'd, but it worked very well on the atrix when I had it

Well I can tell you with complete certainty the "one click" rooting method for the inspire (bubbys tool), does enable "unknown sources."
I went through the process the night before the amazon app store went live. First day it was up I had angry birds Rio on my phone (market didn't have it yet).
While I can't say from personal experience, as I didn't use the original "hack kit" rooting method, I'd be willing to bet my phone that it too enables sideloading as a result of its rooting process.

I think...and I could be wrong...that both the hack kit and the one click method load a stock image with the unknown sources turned on.
Maybe someone with more knowledge. could tell us..because now I'm really curious to know.
Can a phone be rooted and not have the ability to sideload...not trying to argue...I'd like to know for reference.

Well, I remember with my captivate, the super one click for that didn't enable sideloading in the actual rooting process itself. Granted, the button to do so was practically right next to the root button in the programs interface, but it was a separate process from rooting, and I actually didn't bother to do the sideloading thing at the time (no real need then).
So the two don't necessarily always coexist for every phone at any given moment.
Just depends on the phone and how the devs who created a particular rooting process decided to do it, would be my guess.

Sideloading apps I believe is all up to the Rom running on the phone, and sense this phone has to be downgraded to another Rom anyways to root, I would imagine most roms support it, basically its not going to be available on every Android root, but most likely it will be available on any inspire root.

So can anyone else confirm that the one click root enables unknown sources? I don't want to flash any roms...I just want to have unknown sources in my settings.
Also, does the one click root have any known problems (or cause problems)?

When you root you can flash back the stock rom w/unknown sources enabled or you can just cook up your own stock version using the xda kitchen with all the features you like.
Rooting in and of itself does not enable sideloading.

Ok now I'm confused. Can anyone show me the simplest steps to get unknown sources up and running and be as close to stock as possible? You guys are making it sound like rooting flashes an entirely different rom, which is not the case for the tons of other android phones I have rooted.

I used the AC sideloader for my stock Inspire and it worked perfectly with installing Gameloft(sp?) games like Dungeon Hunter 2. No complaints here as I'm still able to side load unrooted.

If I use the sideloader, do I have to use it EVERY single time when I want to install an app? Example...if I download amazon app store, will it install apps no problem or do I have to use the sideloader everytime to install an app?

So I watched a video on sideloading, looks easy, but how do I get the apk files on my computer? I don't know where to download the amazon app store apk directly on my computer.

Amazon App Store apk
Angry Birds Rio apk
Google is your friend.

Angry Birds Rio is available free from the Market now. No need to sideload that one.

I haven't confirmed this, but I assume this is correct. The phone is protected against apps installing from outside the market, and the sideload tool works around this by (I assume) running its own adb commands, so without the tool, apps will still be blocked from installing.

Anyway to gain temproot for now?

Hey,
I was wondering, is there anyway to gain temproot until we have full root? Am I right in thinking that temproot allows programs requiring root access to work e.g. AdFree?

Is that saying you need to remove HTC Sync from the device, and then run Gingerbreak?

1. First download the Gingerbreak.apk file.
2. Save on your computers desktop.
3. Connect the phone to your computer. (do not connect using htc sync)
4. Mount SD card as flash drive as you generally do for USB cable file transfers.
5. Copy the downloaded Gingerbread apk file to SD card root.
6. You should have any File Manager (e.g., Astro File Manager) on your phone. If not, download from Market. These are generally free apps.
7. Disconnect your phone from computer and launch File Manager. You will find in the menu of the phone.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions on File Manager to install APK to your phone from SD card root. You may also use the default application installer software to do this.
9. After installation completes, open the APK.
10. Press ‘root’ button. Simple, isn’t it?
11. The APK exploit will run for some time. Usually it runs for around 10 minutes. Your phone will be rebooted. In case it takes more than ten minutes for auto reboot, please reboot it yourself. Not to panic, this happens a lot of times.
12. Your device is now rooted. Congrats!
13. Make sure that SuperUser app is installed and is running. This is very important for you to enjoy the benefits of rooting.
In order to test if your phone has been successfully rooted, just click a screenshot of your phone. That should show that your phone has been rooted.

Yeah, but does it REALLY work?

Gingerbreak exploit is patched on the SGS II so doubt that will work. Also if phone needs to reboot, no way will root persist due to signed locked bootloader. Go ahead and try but we will need some L33t devs to break this phone.

Yeah, I'm not really willing to believe it works either mate.

Well, I have tried it, doesn't seem to do a thing so far.
It does say it fails a lot, but still, zero proof that is works, I'm very suspicious that it's all ********

It would be great if we could get this partial root. I personally don't mind not being able to flash custom ROM, but it is very important to me to be able to use some apps that require root permissions like adfree or titanium backup. From what I understand, this 'half-root' should not be very difficult to achieve cause it is not needed to mess with the bootloader for this purpose. The only requirement is to be able to uninstall htc sync for some time.
Here also a link detailing the differences between root levels and clarifying vocabulary. I am posting this cause it has been very useful for me to help understand, so it might also serves others..

I'm not optimistic thought.

Well, a factory reset and trying to run GingerBreak right after hasn't done a thing. It says to reboot after it doesn't succeed after 10 mins, and that this happens a lot. But EVERY attempt I have been rebooting after 10 mins.

Nice find. This thread has been linked in my 'Post Your Screenshots' Thread. S-On users can now get involved. Good stuff.

Another alternative is No root ScreenshotIt which lets you take screenshots w/o needing to connect to a computer (although a one time setup is required after every reboot of your phone). I am not sure if the above application is simpler. A turn off is that this is a paid one.

You would laugh

As it's Vodafone, do you have a network unlocked device?
If not then you can't use HTCDev.com and must wait for the general s-off tool.
Alternatively you can try to network unlock your device, through Vodafone or third party.

Mines also Vodafone branded. worked for me. HTCDev doesnt give S-OFF it just unlocks bootloader to allow files to be written.
The NAND is still write protected until such tool can combat this. Fastboot is definitely unchecked right ? sometimes on my phone it comes back on without
me re-enabling it
EDIT: I have to hold the Volume down + power for about 10-15 seconds for bootloader to come up

Very odd. Noble I couldn't imagine so they rarely lock there devices well none of the ones I've had...might have to ask. Can't access bootloader. No point keeping it that's the case..

Make sure you got USB Debugging enabled under develop option..

Just verified that it works for me, though I have an unbranded phone.
Like azzledazzle said, you need to have USB debugging enabled in Settings->Developer options.
If you haven't yet, download HTC Sync from HTC.com and start the installer. The USB drivers will be installed as prerequisites. If you don't want HTC Sync, you can cancel the installer after the prereqs are installed. Then connect your phone and Windows should install the adb drivers automatically.

I had the same issue and this is what is working for me:
Fastboot off and usb debugging on
Power off and wait to be sure it is turned off
Hold volume down and keep holding it
Press power for 3-4 seconds while still keeping volume down pressed
Wait until bootloader shows before releasing volume down.
This works for me now every time.

Galaxy S Blaze Rooted, Now What?

Hello all! I'm a total noob to the Android world. I've been a user of iPhone for the past 3 years. Lol. Just picked up the new Galaxy S Blaze yesterday and I've already Rooted it. I know lots of Dev's are on the way for this device since its still relatively new. But my question is, what can I really do with it now that its been rooted? How do I get rid of some of the "Bloatwares" on it? I know there are lots that T-mobile put on the phone. Thanks for any help!

to remove the bloat, i used titanium backup. Not only is it good for removing the apps, but its also great to backup and restore apps when/if we get roms.

Titanium is a must...other things you can use to remove bloat as well are ES file Explorer or Root Explorer. Root Explorer is not free, but I use it regularly. I always suggest renaming files rather than deleting them.

Thanks for the replies. So, I rooted my phone and using Titanium Backup, I deleted some of the apps that I figured that I don't need. Well, now I might have deleted one too many? I cant get the Computer to recognize the phone at all when I connect it using the USB. Its not the driver the issue 'cause it was working previously when I rooted the phone.

Before uninstalling an app with Titanium, I use the "Freeze" option first. It stops the app. If i have no problems, I delete it. I made the mistake of uninstalling something that someone on here said was safe to uninstall, and I started getting errors. I went back to stock to fix it.

I'll also point out that I seriously can't tell any difference at all between "freeze" vs. uninstall.
What I mean by that is, if I freeze an app....it's effectively gone. The apps I knew I wouldn't use, or wouldn't want on the phone I first backed up, and then hit uninstall. If TitaniumBackup gave me the prompt about the app not being deodexed (basically, it's kinda like integrated in the rom if it's not deodexed) I would just freeze it. I mean, seriously, who cares about the stupid free megabytes counter in the phone.
I'd never know the difference between freezing and uninstalling.
In short.......hooray for freeze!

Yes, I froze the BadgeProvider 1.0 and the phone had some problems. I went to un freeze the app and it said it was un freezing but never did. So I just reloaded my backup.

Yeah, that wouldn't be something I would freeze myself. You'll stop getting missed call notifications, or so I read anyway.

Another good uninstaller/app freezer is Root Uninstaller Pro. I used that to freeze and/or eliminate my T-MO and samsung bloat/crapware. It also gives me a bit more control over other options involving any apps on my phone, such as letting me back it up or obtain it again from Play Store should I need to do so.

I've found that it works best when the phone is hooked up to your PC. Hold down volume up, volume down AND power all at the same time. Once you see the following message on your phone, take your finger off the power button only (being careful not to accidentally do it twice - that shuts off the phone), then take your fingers off the volume up/down. The message starts like this:
Warning!
A custom OS can cause critical problems...
Near the bottom, it will tell you to use volume up to continue, and so forth.
BTW, there is a wonderful post in the development section of the Blaze area that tells you how to root the phone using ODIN. Read it carefully - that's how I rooted mine!
Hope this helps!
