Why not use the andriodcentral wonder machine? This will load the apk for you....

thanks i will try that tonight and let you know how it goes

i downloaded the .apk and tried to install it.
I get to summary and click "install".
Next it says
"Replace application
The application you are installing will replace another application.
All previous user data will be saved"
Kinda weird because i'm using super rooter and though that stuff was removed...but figured i screwed something up on the tibu restore of my apps and maybe restored it somehow (even though its no where in my phone).
I click okay. I see the regular install screen you'd see from a .apk if you are installing it that tells you what it has access to. I click install. it acts like it instals for a split second then says:
"aplication not installed". all i can click is done.
any ideas?

If you use the Android Central sideloader you will see this error.
Installing application
467 KB/s (199818 bytes in 0.416s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/to_install.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
I am trying to install it again too and I have not got it to work yet.

If it already sees a version there, you may have to manually install it using adb install with the -r switch.

the loader exe is giving me some error about payload???? i see no files in this folder...? help!

By the way thank you for your help. I have asked twice on the SRE thread and have got no help there. Seeing as who it is the SRE that removed the file and the files he has posted to install the removed apps is what I am using I find that a little troublesum

i also have had no luck putting this back on.....

One last try. Anyone have any more ideas?

Over on the SRE thread I got a answer from DG.
--------cut-------
copy xxxx.apk to your sdcard
adb shell
su
adb mv xxxx.apk /system/app
or use root explorer or similar to copy it to the system app folder
reboot and it will be installed

Does it say "Not yet available. Check again later." for everyone else? I'm trying to use this on my Droid Eris.

Samsung Transform

The Samsung Transform has the same vulnerability as the Epic (joeykrim-root.sh works to get root).

So how would I go about rooting? Would I use the same process as the EPIC 4g?

if you're good with linux, you can follow the directions in this link forum.sdx-developers.com/epic-development/adb-root-exploit-test
(The mount command is slightly different in step 4.)

I'm running a mac. I tried several guides on the sph-m910 rooting for mac osx but it won't let me push any files to the phone with adb.

Have any of you successfully rooted it using this method?

I have successfully rooted my brother's Transform using the same method I used to root my Epic 4G... same files and everything.

From what I am told and understand it must be mounted and run in linux. I will find out as soon as my local store gets one in, I'm first in line.

I don't mean to be a ****, but what app have you installed that requires root access? I have a specific one, roam manager, that will not run. I believe you may have seen visually that it was rooting it, but it does not do squat.

apps2sd, I need a new kernel for wifi tethering which is the main thing that I want

Rooting Help
Can someone give some detailed instructions on rooting the Samsung Transform???
I agree with cachorropedorro, I'm looking to root for wifi teathering also..... Tried a few methods also.... No luck.

Guys, I've never rooted a phone before and this is my first android. I looked a the Joeyconway version of root.... I'm having a hard time following the command prompts??? Any suggestions?

Is there going to be a transform category? Are there other pages about rooting this new phone??

I was able to root my transform using the ocr joey krimm root method, the drivers for the epic finally worked after restarting the phone, one thing i noticed about the transform was that the ratc script takes longer to work and does not always work. I modified the bat file to have a longer wait after running the ratc file, however that doesnt even work all the time, if you manually run the ratc script and then run the bat it should work thats what i had to do. I also updated the su bin and the busybox version from the current version of the one click root because the files in the ocr.zip have an older su bin that doesnt use superuser.apk and the busybox is not compatible with ti backup.

Mark920,
Can you give some more detailed directions for all of us that are newbees? Like I said in a earlier post, I've never rooted a phone so some of the things you were talking about like ratc script confuses me. Any detailed steps would be awsome.

Root

just got my hox, tried 2 different procedures to root the phone, neither way will root it. any suggestions?

There is a sticky in the dev section. It may take a few tries but it absolutely does work.

if i manually reboot the phone it starts the process, but it keeps saying failer when it tries to access phone.

Read the instructions.

I realize the most popular remedy is to keep trying to push the date and reboot, but I've been at this all night with the same result, even having followed the directions. Any help is greatly appreciated.

When it says waiting for device to reboot, are you manually rebooting it? You should. I have now used this method 4 times and every time it took a few tries. Check your app drawer and see if there is an app called SuperSU. If you do have it, click on it. If it says no binary installed then you need to try and root again. If it says binary needs to be updated, click update. That means you're rooted.

Use the directions from here, not some other site.

I used the manual method the auto click is based on and it worked like a charm

I was able to root mine from 1.85 yesterday without a problem. I used the one click method found in the DEV section. It took me 3 tries to get superSU installed, and then a 4th try to have the binaries installed to.

When SuperSU does actually install, maybe every other time, it keeps bringing up "there is no SU binary installed".

As long as you are on 1.85, the exploit still works.

Hello , i am still in 1.85 . So i am still able to do the root? I don't have an ATT service , i use straighttalk do i necessarily need an att sim card in my phone? to run the update? Because when i do it with the straighttalk sim card inside the phone displays that the server is not working . Can i do it via wifi?
Thanks!

Help me please!

I would go back to the original thread and have a read then. There are a lot of tips
Like making sure the phone is charged over 40%
Making sure usb debugging is enabled that fastboot is turned off that your in charge only that WiFi is on to name a few. Some people had to try 4 to 5 Times. I'm sure if you take the time to read through you will find enough suggestions to help.
If all else fails find the original thread by beaups and try to do it manually.
The rm superuser thing I forgot was added to the script later its looking for superuser on the phone to remove it and move to data app I believe.
If your still stuck report back.

Casual not working on GS3

first indication that there's an issue is that the link status only goes to Connected when I'm in recovery mode.
Then when flashing "Root GS3 with DebugFSRoot", I get to this point...

Then after it reboots, it never reconnects. So it doesn't complete the process. I get an auth error if I try to flash the "aboot..."
I thought maybe it was a driver issue, but I am using the right drivers linked by the post (win7 x64).
Not sure if it matters, but I was previously on CM10 and then needed to go back to stock due to a cycle reboot issue...

Open casual, have device booted up, then connect the pc and device...works for me everytime. If you keep having issues then try running casual thru WUBI(windows ubuntu interface)

Casual seems to have problem on windows so try using another root method or us WUBI as mentioned earlier. I actually just used my sisters mac and it worked perfectly.

It works fine if you have Java installed and up to date.

I tried casual for an hour and had the exact same problem. I ended up using casual to flash CWM then booted into CWM (volume up + home + power) and flashed a SU zip there. That rooted me fine. However, after I installed busybox a day later and my phone went wonky I reflashed everything to stock over Odin and was able to root using casual on my first try. Very odd.

I and other people have still had issues when Java was up to date (I completely uninstalled everything Java related and reinstalled it) It really seems to be hit or miss as Legato's experience suggests it may have something to do with the software on your phone too.
