Android on HTC cruise How to?
Hi all,
I'm REALLY confused or misinfomed or whatever on how to run andoid from my sd card.
I tried some things from a website androidonhtc but only got up to a point.
Is there a simple how-to on how to run android on cruise and some links on where to donwload the appropriate files?
For example i have got the haret but i can't find anywhere to download androidinstaller.tar
Am I close or far from my goal?
I know i might ask a silly question but guys i'm really confused.
Thanks anyway in advance.
as for how-to in hxxp://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstall
after getting haretinstall.zip, you need a current kernel (zImage) from
- dzo = hxxp://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
or
- sourceforge = hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
------------------------
as for androidinstall.tar / .tgz you can get from
- vogue forum = hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=588
- kaiser forum = hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=602
- sourceforge = hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
PS: sorry for the hxxp link, I have no permission to post any link yet
Thank you very very very much for your help!

well, it's no garbage, just required more explanation. let me try to make it simpler. this guide will use zImage-eclair and vaniljeclair, change it to suit your taste accordingly
- get haretinstall.zip from here
extract this file and get default-polaris.txt (rename as default.txt), zImage-eclair (rename as zImage), initrd.gz and haret.exe. put all these files into andboot folder in root of your sdcard. your sdcard will look like this:
/andboot/default.txt
/andboot/zImage
/andboot/initrd.gz
/andboot/haret.exe
- next you need to download vaniljeclair from here
extract the file and you will get androidinstall.tar, put this file along with those files on /andboot/
you should have those 5 files or you cannot boot android.
- select haret.exe to execute, press run, pay attention to the text rolling, when it asks you to hold button, hold volume button up, and you will be given installer menu. choose install and delete data. let the format and installer finish, then you will be given menu again. do not quit, just reset, and restart from haret (you will see that you have data.img, system.img and some other files). at this time let the installer do not interrupt, it took more than 5 minutes before android logo asks you to touch screen
- if there is problem during booting, post it here, let people here try to solve

BT and WIFI should work, there is vaniljeclair thread on this problem if something is not working.
as for contact I think you need google account to sync.
Hi,
Thank you for the guide. I actually follow it and encountered an error. When it asked for volume up or d-pad center, I did, then it prompted that it was waiting for something several times. So I soft-reset the phone and launch it again.
Then, after haret.exe is booting linux, I have got a strange screen with scramble text.
How can I put everything back in the previous state to reinstall it propely?
Thank you
More info....
Did you get to the install screen after pressing centerdpad?
If yes, did it install?
What was it waiting for? The error message can give a clue what is wrong.
i manage to get to ask to hold up the center d-pad then get into a installer menu..
currently i just cant get my wifi and bt work..
haven get connection to sign in to google account..
I have all five file on my SD card but when I click on haret on my Sd and hit run where it say defaukt.txt..I get a error saying " cannot open script file \storage card\andboot\default.txt" is im doing something wrong..thx
u got change the polaris default-polaris to default??
Introduction: It has come to my attention that many of us windows users are still using odin for upgrading to Ginger bread and recovering from soft bricks. I have found the heimdall one click method is easier to use and more stable for flashing your phone from a computer. I am trying to make this guide as noob proof and simple as possible. Given how simple the one click method is it should not be hard (although if you are new to this device it can prove to be difficult if you don't read and understand everything).
Please be sure to format your sd card if this is the first time you are flashing ginger bread. If you have problems converting to ext4 using one of the rooted one clicks it is suggested you create a 2048 partition in cwm.
The first five steps are to help get heimdall and everything needed to use it installed on your windows computer. If you already have heimdall you can skip to steps 6&7.
Please read everything in this guide before proceeding and be sure to read everything else mentioned in this guide. proceed slowly if this is your first time. I recommend a print out, double check everything, and cross off each step as you go. Slow and methodical = smooth = fast and efficient with perfect results. Remember the best way to gain knowledge and learn to do almost anything is to READ.
If you have used the one click method and have any suggestions for this guide please feel free to comment.
Disclaimer: You are flashing your device at your own risk. No one but you can be held responsible if you make a mistake. Some one click packages contain bootloaders and flashing incorrect bootloaders may hard brick your device. Never flash a one click package that is not clearly labeled for your device by model number.
Warning: if you are on a Mac running osx 10.5 or higher there is a problem with the re partition function in heimdall. since you must flash boot loaders these packaged are designed to re partition automatically. It is recommend you use a windows or Linux parallel to flash.
On to the guide:
1: first you will need to download and unzip the lastest heimdall front end. This package can be found at http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
Please read and understand everything that this website has to offer about the program before use.
2: after you have unziped the heimdall front end package open the containing folder and click on the "Read Me" text file. This file contains troubleshooting tips, driver installation, installation procedures, and instructions for flashing other heimdall supported files to your device. Oh yeah and they don't call it Read Me for nothing
3: you will also need to download and install the package labeled "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributables" and get java 1.6 do I have Java?. Simply download and run (double click) the executable files.
4: Once you have downloaded and unziped heimdall front end, installed java 1.6, and installed the C++ packages you will need to install your device drivers (this process is also explained in the read me file you should have read).
A: Place your device into download mode and plug it into your computer. How to get into download mode
B: Open the unziped heimdall folder then open the the "drivers" folder and run (double click) the "zadig" application
C: Click the "options" menu and make sure "list all devices" is checked.
D: from the drop down menu choose "Samsung USB composite device"
E: Click the "install drivers" button and let it do its thing.
Note: if you have trouble installing drivers try again. If "Samsung USB composite device" is not an option unplug your device re run zadig and take note of what options have disappeared.
5: Now it is time for you to choose your one click package. If you would like help choosing the package that is right for you please feel free to ask.The threads I am linking to are only for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G device from T-Mobile, Model# SGH-T959V. If this is not your device do not flash the one click packages I am linking to. If this is your device these are the ONLY one click packages available. Again, never flash a firmware package not clearly labeled with the exact same model number as the device you are flashing to.
Choose and download the one click package of your choice. Remember to read the OP of each thread before making your decision. If you have a question feel free to ask here.
A: kj6 one click collection
This thread contains three one click packages to choose from. All are from the official Galaxy S 4G Ginger Bread Upgrade to 2.3.6 or KJ6. Read the OP to choose the one that is right for you.
B: kf1 one click package
This was the first one click package we obtained for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It was from a leaked version of gingerbread 2.3.3 or KF1. I, and Most, do not recommend you use it because the boot loaders change the button mapping for recovery and download modes (this can cause problems trying to revert) ;but, I would like to give credit to the creator of the one click packager and will include his thread and work as such.
6: Now that you have installed heimdall and chosen a one click package its time to flash. Close your heimdall folders and forget about them for now. put your device in download mode and connect it to your computer How to get into download mode
A: Run (double click) your "oneclick.jar" package. Yes, they are supposed to be executable files (be patient it may take a minute to load)
B: Read the "package information" section and ensure you are flashing a one click package designed specifically for your device by model number.
C: do nothing else except click "flash"
D: wait for device to reboot
E: If you are upgrading to GB from froyo do not close your "oneclick.jar". You will need to repeat step 6 a second time with the "flash bootloaders" box checked. Please also ensure you have read the disclaimer.
7: At this point your device will be in one of these three states
A: rebooted and running as factory
B: in the stock Samsung 3E blue recovery in which case you should use the volume buttons to navigate to reboot device and use the power button to select reboot device
C: In a CWM recovery where you should use the volume buttons to navigate to reboot device and use the power button to select reboot device.
That's It! Happy flashing!

odin vs. heimdall comparison
Most of us here are used to Odin and can make it work; however, it is an unstable, proprietary, windows only, unsupported program. It often will not recognize your device or you get a better experience with v 1.7 or v 1.85 or maybe it is just picky with your computer or device. I had both the above mentioned versions installed on my desktop in case I had problems with one or the other. This, to me, is totally unacceptable. Now we have heimdall and I encourage you to make the switch. It is an ongoing project that is cross platform, supported, and open source. This means it is based on the same fundamentals as Android proving any developer the opportunity to help make it better, faster, or more user friendly. Take the one click project for example: now, with heimdall installed on your system, you can simply execute a pre programmed flash and your done with your device flashed as the developer intended. I admit it is a few clicks not just one but, it hasn't given me any problems, it tells me exactly what it's doing in a language I understand, and it is super easy. So at least give it a shot, bet you will like it

Choosing the right driver
Hi there,
I don't see the Samsung USB Composite Device in the drop down box when running Zadig. What I have is below:
Samsung_Android
CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)
Android UMS
S3C6410 Android ADB
Driver failed to install for Samsung_Android. Should I try any of the other options?
Thanks for helping a bricked noob out!

Unplug your device and re run zadig. Take note if any options disappear. If so re plug your device and try it. If not report back.

its honestly the far superior option and comeing from a linux based world where i dindt have to deal with odin as much Its great tried odin on windows and really its far superior and alot more stable then odin.. its worth learning tbh
Further adventures in un-bricking with Heimdall
Thanks for your quick replies!
1). I was able to get the driver installed, using the Samsung_Android. When I connect the phone it now shows up in the device manager. Picture 1 attached (libusb - Samsung Android).
2). I'm not sure what mode my phone is in. When I press the power button I get first the startup screen....Picture 2.
Then I get this screen "Android System Recovery 3e" and a range of options. The volume control is flipped i.e pressing down causes the menu to go up. (Picture 3)
There is no way to "select" any of the options. Only one of the buttons at the base of the screen seems to work: the menu button causes the text on the screen to disappear and only leaves the green android with triangle exclamation point. (Picture 4)
Heimdall does not detect that the phone is connected....Picture 5.
Any suggestions what I should try next? This is a Galaxy S 4G t959V.
Thanks so much for all your help! What an introduction to the world of Android!

You are currently in recovery mode running whatever bad boot loaders you flashed. Use this method to enter download mode
1 pull out battery
2 hold Vol up Vol down at the same time
3 plug USB cable into phone and computer
4 re insert battery and continue to hold both Vol buttons until your phone displays something.
unfortunately it is possible the bad boot loaders you flashed may have messed up your button mapping. if you try the above mentioned method for download mode multiple times and only end up back in the same recovery screen please direct me to the thread you flashed the bad boot loaders from
Good luck

Yup, anyone can update the wiki I'm going to add guides little by little into it so we can just link new users to it. I realized after typing for the 20th time how to get into download mode that it'd be easier to just use the wiki.

Is it fine if we use your picture in the wiki? People would really appreciate it.
Now that you're in download mode you can use the one click to recover your phone.
Please feel free to use any or all of the pictures!

I did leave the phone connected to USB and it was showing the downloading screen for the 2 hours while I was away...
What now?

My infuse when turned on goes to a screen that looks like phone ! pc with the message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". So this happens even when I try and go to download mode or recovery mode. Basically as soon as I hit the power button. I'm really freaking out. It was rooted and I was doing following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
Then the problems started when my computer didn't recognize the phone in download mode. and then it was recognized so I started the Odin flash. Then it froze at cache.rts (I believe that's what Odin said, I can't get to it anymore)...So I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and did it again and it got to factoryfs.rfs before it froze there for a really long time. So I unplugged it and tried to do GTG Ultimate Unbrick...but I can't get the .zip file to open. My computer keeps telling me "Can Not Open ____ as archive". I re-downloaded it and same result. Is there anything I can do to save my phone? I'm a real idiot and this kind of stuff always happens to me no matter how much I read up on something and make sure I'm doing it right. I would really appreciate a little help though, thanks!
I actually got it downloaded and followed Rammstein874's video on youtube on how to do it and I am once again stuck on factoryfs.rfs :-(
What can I do at this point? It is still stuck at the Phone-!-PC screen when I try to go to download mode. Please help, I'm starting to get pretty worried about this...
When your screen is phone!computer, that's an alternative version of download mode. You can either use ODIN or heimdall back to stock. Just plug it in via usb, allow odin/heimdall to recognize it and start flashing.
This is correct....if you see those pic on your phone that is a form of download...i would run the one click method...

* I used the above link (or tried) and it didn't seem to work either. I downloaded Heimdall Suite for Windows 64bit and then installed the drivers and plugged in my phone in download mode. But then I was unable to get it started...I used the "Stock_SGH_I997_UCLB3_Repartition-One-Click.jar" file I found on mediafire (because all of these posts link to mediaupload which is no longer working). Anyway, so I tried to run Heimdall-frontend.exe on windows and once it opened up I connected my phone (nothing turns green like the post says) and hit browse. I chose the jar file aforementioned and it said "tar header contained invalid file size."
So if someone could point me toward a more up to date thread if I'm using the wrong one and kind of explain to me how to get around the other problem I'm having with the jar file then I would be forever appreciative
Not sure what you did...not saying you did something wrong but here is what I do, below are how i perform using qkster's method...
The USB + Volume Down + Volume Up Method: Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). plug in the USB cable to your computer and phone then putting in battery at the same time Holding the volume buttons both up and down, (Don't press the power button at all in this method).
How to INSTALL:
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
download this file for your one click to stock...and using above directions...
once that is done and you want to put CWM mod on for flashing a custom ROM, same directions to get in to download mod...
download this file to use the one click to put CWM mod on your phone
here is the link where i took all this...

Right, I did those things from that link itself. I think the problem is actually with how I'm using Heimdall. I downloaded the suite version from here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
I also downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio C++. So I feel like it should be working...but the problem comes when I hit browse to attach the jar file you linked to. It says the "tar header file size was incorrect"...so am I doing something wrong in the way that I'm attaching the jar file to go back to stock? Could you or someone else please confirm that process and/or check the jar file for me to make sure it's still up-to-date? Sorry for the trouble, I'm just not sure what I can do at this point if I can't get Heimdall working. I can't flash after I attach the jar file with the error message either, it doesn't recognize my phone when it is attached in download mode (which is coming up just fine now without the phone!pc thing for some reason).

Is your phone still stuck on the phone-!-pc ?
did you read the last post he had regarding the actual heimdall program suite...
not sure what he had going on...I believe he has download mode capability...
thx ''Goshujin-sama'' qkster
Yeah..that's where I wasn't sure what sf was doing.
the jar file is self executable. When you click on the jar file, there is a load up delay.
Then should be be ready.
You then hook up the phone.
I've not seen in tar header file size error.
Sf should not be trying to stick the 1-click file into heimdall front-end.
It's a single self executable jar file..the is no other dependencies...the only other situation I can think of is maybe putting the 1-click jar file onto a different PC and try running it there.

Oh man I had no idea...I was so mixed up by trying to educate myself with so many posts about using Heimdall. I thought I had to download Heimdall separately and attach the jar file or something. But okay so I ran the one-click. It failed the first time (expected) and then I checked the flash bootloaders box and hit flash again. Then it stopped at installing drivers and prompted me to install the drivers on the following prompt. So I did that and then it said installed drivers successfully and I hit close. Then nothing happens. So what do I do at this point? I'm probably being an idiot again but I really appreciate you guys trying to help me out. And I hope you realize I'm trying my best to not waste anyone's time.
The device status was a green Connected before I started by the way. At this point what I do? It seems to just break at the installing drivers part...?
It should of rebooted it self the phone...
Btw you are not wasting my time...wife is watching cup cake wars...so ....rather help you...lol

Oh man I had no idea...I was so mixed up by trying to educate myself with so many posts about using Heimdall. I thought I had to download Heimdall separately and attach the jar file or something. But okay so I ran the one-click. It failed the first time (expected) and then I checked the flash bootloaders box and hit flash again. Then it stopped at installing drivers and prompted me to install the drivers on the following prompt. So I did that and then it said installed drivers successfully and I hit close.

Once the connected bar is on, you click flash. It should complete it's routine. the phone reboots. you should click on the boot loader box. you disconnect. let it finish. set it back into donwload mode and flash again.
you can try different usb port or data cord or different pc
Plus you have my master...qkster here...cuz you lost me on the programs you were using...so i called in the jedia master!
As long as your screen has that Phone! Computer sign, it's not bricked yet. I recommend you to search some how to videos online so you can see the exact instructions on how to use heimdall because it's that easy. If possible maybe one of our awesome contributors can make a how to video for heimdall.
I believe he is tracking now qkster is providing....thx

This looks really rough, but apparantly there is a boot.img, then other cracking tools can be used.
I'd love to try it, but... well... my chinese is limited to google-translate.
The URL won't post so this is a big hint:

I think I got it root on g302d u8812d

Currently on that URL is a approx 14 MB rar file download, I _think_ I just got it sorted!
I don't have time now to make this pretty, but some others who want to hack. add links, etc feel free to work with this...
in fact I dont know if all these steps are required.
General Broad steps (ymmv, you are doing this to your own dang phone, dont blame me for bricks viruses or earthquakes etc, etc/ etc).
on your computer, uninstall adb, pdanet and any other tools that use the adb drivers and dlls, reboot as needed.
install the mt6575 drivers (I forgot whether I downloaded these or if they were part of the 14 meg file) reboot as needed
power down phone.
remove battery from phone, don't plug into computer.
launch flash_tool.exe
load the included scatterloading file MT6575...emmc.txt
press the download button
plug in phone to usb
put battery in phone
watch the blinkinlights for a few seconds, wait for the big green O
then I disconnect phone and ensure power down.
install SDK
power up phone and plug in
test adb (adb shell)
kill adb server
download and install superoneclick
download extra superoneclick exploits
launch superoneclick
click the big root button.
Test (you can use something like rom manager)
Now people should be able to try to install various CWMs.
I haven't gotten that far yet.

Okay I may have found a working CWM clockworkmod recovery, but I don't have access to the chinese site, so others out there may be able to download it and try it out.

installed gapps 20110828 (via mobileuncle recovery) and I now have a market that doesn't force-close!
still getting "partners" to force close, but a lot of other stuff is working.
Great work!!! I'll try this on my phone or wait until is working?
Are the recovery and rom in chinese?
Thank a lot for testing.
working well

It is working very well.
No need for you or anyone to wait.
Just please know what you are doing (do you have basic understanding of recovery mode, roms, factory mode, and the dangers) in other words, if this is your first time doing this on a phone.. ask someone who knows what they are doing for help because I am not able to put together a documented procedure, but the findings above should allow someone else to do that. Additionally, I have no idea of the legality or safety of the software at URLs above.
conceptually this is 4 steps
1) flash boot.img that will allow cracking
2) crack to get SU installed
3) install Mobile Uncle Recovery mode and app
4) install gapps.
The MobileUncle recovery mode is Chinese, But the mobileuncle app is kinda like rom manager, it lets you set up what happens at next boot so you don't need to read the chinese in recovery text mode.
The patched rom is working for me in English with root, no detectable problem except FC on google partners (and I can't tell if that actually does anything). Remember this is not a new rom, just a patch to the huawei rom that allows a root crack.
There are about 4 chinese apps that I am afraid to uninstall..
one appears to be a chinese app store too, kinda fun to browse
gapps must be flashed with mobileuncle recovery (don't just unzip them)
US google play store is working.
I am fully migrated to this phone now and use it for daily work.
Good luck, and remember that this is why you got an android instead of a i-Thing.
Thanks thanks again. I'll try it and don't worry this is not the first time to modify a mobile. If it is all ok i posted here.
Working u8812d
Ok... It was successfully working on my phone. I have root and change recovery and then installing gapps. Almost of the apps is working of the play store. Thanks again and hope there is a release of ICS or JB rom for our phones.
See ya!!!:good:

Thanks for the steps though the problems are still coming thick and fast, I have a new U8812D from China, no China unicom splashscreen but lots of 'bloatware' still. I've been trying for days to root this thing and nothing's working.
I'm pretty sure I need root access becasue the phone is currently preventing me from adding my Gmail account and using the google play market and apps, other bits and pieces like assigning incoming call number to a contact are supposedly fixed by getting the google thing right. The phone is good but I'm missing alot of functionality.
If the above description sounds like rooting is not the solution, please let me know and point me to the right forum, if rooting is the obviously the only way out, I'm hoping to clarify a few step in the above walkthrough to help me and others.
1. I cant install the mt6575 MediaTek drivers, installing directly gives error 'driver cannot be installed this way' there is no COM-LPT port in my device manager to attach it to as a manually locate driver, I can add a COM port with add remove hardware but I have Code 10 error, device cannot start and doesnt seem to accept the mt6575 driver as an update even when forced to it with locate new driver, apparently this is no problem from other forums, still bugging me. Maybe I havent the right files? how do i get COM-LPT ports to show up properly?
2. when 'install m6575 drivers ... reboot' is the phone plugged in? to what device do we install the drivers or should it be automatic?
3. launch flash tool, i have located two versions of the MT6575...emmc.txt file, one delivers error, block count fail and has no files paths for the item in the main table, the other refuses to open, giving error, incorrect scatter file format. The latter has considerably more data in it when read in notepad.
4. Becasue of these errors, SP flash tool does not download to phone. all subsequent steps fail.
Assuming the initial flashing steps are successful, I must to use SuperOneClick to root the phone, where do I find the extra exploits needed? or are tehy automoatically sourced by SOC? Succeeding the root access step, I assume i can freeze the apps causing problems to my google sign in or delete them. Or could I please be directed to the ATTPlain rom mentionned by JohnnyParanoia in 'Almost All Huawei Stock Roms (Firmware) - Updated 28/06/12' board.
Since so many of the resource files I've trawled through are bung, anyone who can point me to reliable/tested files known to work with the U8812d I'd greatly appreciate in on top of the great appreciation I already have for your patience with a Noob. I located the 14Mbit .rar file mentioned above but not all parts worked, had to dl the different programs individually and some files had to hunt down form fileshare sites.
Lastly, i am using an HP laptop, Windows 7 64-bit, Thanks in advance.

So I went bargain hunting and found this Klu 7033 ICS tablet. It's a decent tablet, I got it for my son. Contrary to some of the icons on the packaging, most of the g-apps don't come on the device and that includes Play Store. And since there is no Play Store, I have no way to put these g-apps on it. I was reading that it is possible to install the g-apps as the .zip from the bootloader. I have tried all the common button combinations to get into the bootloader but nothing ever happens; it simply boots into ICS. I have tried putting ROM Manager on it and reboot that way, but every time I try to install one of the downloaded .apk files it always says the package is corrupt.
So my end goal here is to install the g-apps on this tablet. If I don't have to root it I don't need to, but at this point in time that seems like the only option. I have tried to install the .apk for various versions of the Play Store and it always crashes as soon as its UI comes up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Okay, got ROM Manager installed manually. Unfortunately I don't have a clockworkmod recovery that will work with it. I can't Flash Clockworkmod Recovery and can't Reboot into Recovery. When I backup, it says it does but I don't see any backups. ADB Devices lists nothing attached.
Resolution
I found all my answers here:
[cannot post link]
Okay, can't post a link. The resolution is over on androidForums.com. Search for "curtis klu lt7033" in the "General Tablet Talk" area. I got my Klu rooted and g-apps installed based on this thread.
anyone got any tips to try and get the computer to read this device at all, refereed to the android forum and i cant get the computer to recognize it at all and no one is responding on the other side

I am using Windows 7 64 bit and the media drivers installed simply by plugging in the tablet to my computer. The drivers needed when USB debugging is installed are at the link I mentioned earlier in this thread. I can't post links yet or else I would send you directly there.
Can't find the thread on androidforums, can anyone post the link to that thread? Or post the root/gapps info here.

Here is the link. If you are trying to root from the beginning then start at post #104 on the 3rd page (although you are more than welcome to start at page one to get a feel for the process...and yes, it IS a process). Also, remember that when they say that you need to turn USB Mass Storage off, that it needs to be in the "Media Storage" setting. That caused me the biggest headache! HTH!

thanks i will try this out. My brother in law bought one over today but it is the LT7052 4.0.3 hopefully this works.
Use the step by step guide its more up to date.
Copy and paste the following into your search bar...
A Step by Step Guide to getting Amazon Appstore, & Google Play on a Curtis Klu LT7033 Android forums
(the guide will come up as the 1st or 2nd result using google, yahoo, or bing)
While it is true that post 104 listed above is where the original guide was born,
The step by step represents all the lessons learned to date.
The LT7052 requires a different ADB (android debug bridge) driver for your PC than the LT7033
There is a different guide at Android forums for the LT7052 entitled...
Getting Amazon Appstore & Google Play on Klu LT7052 Step by Step
See ya there;
SuperNoober
Are the Klu 7033 and the klu 7035 the same in any way?
