I think you have to root your phone if you want apps to be downloaded from the internet.

Can someone please help me with this

There is NO option to install applications from untrusted sources. This means anything on your SD card, downloaded from the web or over your wifi at home WILL NOT WORK. Naturally, you also cannot use the "su" command in terminal.
Therefore, you need to use ADB push in order to get anything done.
Here is an ADB guide Motorola Backflip for AT&T.
[ADB Setup Shortcut/Send to] Motorola Backflip
Once you have all that figured out, you can ROOT using [APP] z4root.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

[Q] Please help! How do you root the samsung charge?

I have read all this stuff about ADB but I'm not totally sure what that is. I was great with other ways of rooting before this phone but Z4 made that easy I only need root to remove bloatware and really need free wireless tether working as it was on my DX with Froyo. Has root and tht wireless tether been confirmed as working for sure? Anyone have the files needed to root and maybe a step by step to describe it all. I dont even know where to look for this ADB thing. And if successful what tether app would I need. I am new here but I'm tired of looking.
Thanks
Rob

To get adb working you have to download android sdk, to use adb you'll have to change a path in environmental variables( search Google or YouTube for how to) check out 4shared.com forZ4root.apk. or a simple search for rooting Samsung charge, the info is out there and are the videos. Searching is key!! Good luck

any app like Z4root, universal root, gingerbreak for sidekick4g?

I would like links to do so/.apk. I did this to my dell streak 7 rooted with the gingerbreak1.2.apk stock works great. Any help would be nice. I like to hack game and remove bloatwear plus the other user friendly features. I don't have a computer I chose my ds7 instead of a pc. Cliq XT was first device. Any help would+1 rep.

Wow. Z4root......i havent used that sense my Droid X days. Its extremely outdated. The dev never updated the app to work with new devices so it will not work on any device anymore. Universal root is even older then z4root so that wont work at all. And gingerbreak is only for 2.3+ devices only. So no none of them will work. Sorry.

Well put, greg!

Well gingerbreak worked on my dell streak 7 stock 2.2.2 froyo so no its not just for gingerbread 2.3

Just looking for root access. I don't want to change stock software.

Arcade shopper linked you to the rooting method of the phone. Its not hard to download and press a button. Because that's seriously how easy it is.just have to have a computer. I'm pretty sure none of the market apps work to root our sidekick. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

I don't have a computer and just about every device you can find a .apk root app. So I ask again is their another way other than using a computer to root. NO Computer!

You HAVE TO AND NEED TO use a computer to root the SK4G. This device has no app to auto root the device for you.

UnlockRoot
UnlockRoot worked great on my SK4G - very straightforward and very effective. More stable than SuperOneClick by far.

Is unlock root a computer program or what? I used super one click at but buddies house it worked fine. Simple to download the drivers for the phone then super one click extract files and click root bam done, but and app would have been so much easier.

[Q] Noob..love phone, love customizations even more

Like I said I am new at this whole android thing....love it, But I heard it was much more customizable.....cant find a root for At&t One X software 3.18....I've seen posts but are unsure if they work for my software. Without rooting is there a way to customize say the status bar notifications....(without Omega, worst program ever) what are my options for customizing I use nova launcher prime now...but even it only allows so much, is there a root? is there a program that will allow me to customize this phone to fit me?
Any help appreciated

Nope. Root is essential to customizing such things. All I can say is search search and don't forget to SEARCH and follow directions word for word. Good luck friend

Yeah...I don't wanna paperweight this thing and all the root files I find are 2.2 or lower....already bricked a Moto atrix 2...can't afford another incident, wife will kill me....I found one that uses adb but it requires SDK and I don't really know if I trust myself to do that...if someone knows of a root for 3.18 please share

no.
The OTA should be rolling out within a month or so I imagine.. hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

You must not have looked very hard, there is a root exploit for your firmware version.

My index thread found as one of the sticky threads at the top of General (also linked in the top post in Development) has all that you need, and clearly calls out which root method to use for 3.18: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Read up and understand what you are doing, before attempting anything.

Ok....so I followed the thread and re-read it over and over....found the android sdk method as well downloaded the SDK package with eclipse, still following instructions tried to test adb server and making sure phone was recognized
....and it never does register, I have debugging on....I have open source downloads on, the proper drivers for the phone....I got onexchopper, busybox, and ownage all in the same folder as the adb....when I plug the phone in to the usb post it all reads....HTC SYNC off, I plug in to the frost usb ports, would that matter?

Try different usb cables/ports.
Make sure you have no phone software running at all for an y phone maker.

[Q] Suggestions For Rooting?

Could someone suggest the best (safest) method of rooting my AT&T G3? I've only rooted a couple of phones over the years, so I'm not terribly experienced at this. I don't want to flash any new ROMs or change the phone drastically. I don't even care much about removing bloatware. I'd be happy if I could just remove that stubborn circle clock widget on the lock screen and would really love it if I could restore the FM radio.

IO root (I think that's the name) is simple just enter in two commands
In the adb and that's pretty much it. Also I think the radio is a hardware thing and is only on the D855 international model.

I'd go with Towel Root. Its unbelievably easy and works perfect. Google towel root and go to the website to download the apk. Once you download and install, open it up and hit "make it rain" then boom your rooted. After that I'd download SuperSU.

This. Towelroot is by far the easiest and safest route. Doesn't even have to reboot the phone. IT JUST WORKS

Curious, I'm relatively a newbie, after Towel Root method and the phone is rooted what benefits are gained? For example, Is it possible after rooting to install an app for Hotspotting?

After root you will will be able to download apps and tweaks that would require root to run. Its like having full access to your phone and files. Like having admin rights I guess. I'm not sure about hotspot.

Thanks for the tips everyone.
About hot spots. I rooted my G2 and was able to tether whereas before, AT&T prevented this function unless I paid extra.
Not sure I want t o do it at this point because the risk/benefit isn't worth it for me. This phone has so much storage that the bloatware isn't an issue and I never really tethered as much as I thought I would. Too bad about the FM radio. Regaining that function would persuade me.
