1. DOWNLOAD USB DRIVERS
Motorola ADB Driver 32bit
Motorola ADB Driver 64bit
2. INSTALL THE SDK
-Download latest SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
-Extract Archive to C:\SDK\ (or C:\Android, or whatever you want)
3. Enable debugging on your phone (thanks naplesbill)
-Goto Settings > Applications > Development > and Check the USB debugging option
4. Optional, but recommended
-Setup Enviroment Variables:
On Windows, right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). Add the full path to the tools/ directory to the path AFTER A SEMICOLON (;C:\SDK\tools\) .-Setup Droid Explorer:
Goto Droid Explorer Downloads and snatch the latest version, then install. (mine showed an error during install i believe due to the lack of HTC drivers. If you installed motorola's drivers it should still be in your start menu and work fine)
If for some reason you can't figure it out, install the drivers then try this installation guide: ADB For Dummies Guide
ADB APK Install instructions
j101399j said:
1. Create a folder called adb on your C drive
2. Extract all files to your adb folder
3. Copy the cmd.exe file (copy the file don't make a shortcut to it or move it) from your "C:\Windows\System32" folder to the adb folder
4. Install the downloaded USB driver
4. Once you have the driver installed, on your phone enable debugging mode (Menu --> Settings --> Applications --> Development --> Check USB Debugging)
5. Copy the apk files you want installed to your "C:\adb\tools" folder. The adb.exe and cmd.exe should be in that tools folder.
5. Open the cmd.exe file
6.Type the following command:
Code:
Code:
adb install [B]application.apk[/B]
Where application.apk is the name of the apk to install
Your app should now be installed
Please note that you cannot install apps used on 1.6, 2.x builds

BACKFLIP SOURCE CODE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645369
Don't you still need root?
I fail to see how this can help without rooting the Backflop unless Droid Explorer has some way of overriding that setting.

It doesn't help deleting the protected apps, but it makes it easier to install apks. This is especially helpful since the backflip doesn't allow anything to be installed through phones interface except through the market.
Ok, it works, but only if you turn on the Applications, Development, USB Debugging in the settings menus.
Well, that's kind of a given as ADB won't work without USB Debugging on.

We meet again Charrion! This is like the third time today I've run into you.
Don't need to have root to install APKs via ADB. Even us poor Milestone owners can do it via 'ADB install <app.apk>.'
I am just pointing that out for those that aren't familiar with that. I imagine there will be users who wouldn't normally bother with this, doing it just to be able to install non-market apk files.

OK, so you can install apks through adb even without unknown sources being enabled.
Has anyone determined if the option to enter debug mode is still available on the backflop? I wouldn't be at all surprised if they disabled that option also.
I'm also curious whether the backflop has a signed mbm like the Milestone to prevent loading custom roms.

The use debug mode is indeed available, I just forgot to mention turning it on.
From what I understand, this phone will be rooted like the cliq.... unfortunately for that to happen certain key files need to be leaked.

According to Skrilax_CZ a modmymoto moderator:
If we are up to root it; we need the shx/sbf flashfile, which must be leaked. Then I can see if the CLIQ RAMDLD exploit is present in here or whether has it been fixed as on the new CLIQ firmwares.

It was those files being leaked that allowed the CLIQ to be rooted...
I will be watching this thread closely I'm tired of having edge on my android....I need 3g for once!
Has anyone given this a try under Linux? I read the ADB beginners guide, but it didn't mention anything about drivers or whatnot. I'd really like to get this phone, but if I can't develop for it on my platform of choice, I don't think I need it that badly.

This is from androidforums.com about this spicifically
http://androidforums.com/motorola-b...on-market-apps-via-adb-solved.html#post419647
On MacOS, ADB doesn't need a USB driver for your phone. Just download the SDK, and you can execute ADB from a terminal.
On Linux, all you need to do are to follow the instructions here:
Developing on a Device | Android Developers
Specifically the bit about creating and chmod'ing an /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file.
Hope AT&T fixes this issue soon, it's ridiculously stupid to attempt to disallow non-market apps given that ADB works.

Thanks much, I'm just getting started on navigating all these forums. =)
Would it be possible for someone to create a utility to turn this option on, then load it via ADB? Or would this require root access?
BetterCut or AnyCut?

I don't have a Backflip, but it may be possible to find hidden settings / controls by using BetterCut or AnyCut. Both are in the Market.
I'd be interested in knowing. A crippled phone is a tiny electronic soul yearning to breathe free and live free.
I have a backflip, and just installed anycut. Do you know what I would need to fill in as the new shortcut to get to that option? I'm at work now, but will be doing the development method to install apks later under linux (gowalla app, most likely)
This is my first android phone, so I'm pretty excited to get it broken open and crapware free.
I just ordered the Backflip. Yes, I'm a newb at all this andriod, and rooting stuff. But, I'm in the process of learning more. I think it will be easier when I have the phone in hand to play with.
But, do you guys really think that someone will take the time to root the backflip, considering, (what I have read) that it is alittle out dated?
I'm going to attempt the non-market app install, once I get the phone. This forum is great, from what I've seen so far. I'll definatly be staying tuned to this thread.
Thanks guys,

I'm new to android hacking and all this so bare with me.
I downloaded the Android SDK and installed everything I needed. I used ECLIPS3's master app to root my Droid Eris and installed the drivers for adb when I had my phone plugged in with usb debugging. So anyways, now I'm going to flash another rom which requires me to push an mms fix through adb. But whenever I go to tools and double click on adb, it just opens up a command prompt windows, flashes through a bunch of sentences/commands (it's too quick to see) and then closes. I thought maybe it was my antivirus so i disabled it but it's still doing it. Any ideas on how to fix this? Or am I just completely doing it wrong?
Edit: Never mind I figured it out.
I have had problem figuring this out to, but this video helped quite a bit.

Hi,
I have a WellcoM A69 mobile phone I would like to connect to with Eclipse for debugging purposes. It is running Android 1.5 cupcake. I'm a n00b here so I can't post a link to the specs, but it's easy to find them on Google (you may need to use Google translate for Thai language translation as this phone is for the Thai market).
Even though I enable the Development USB Debugging option, Eclipse doesn't detect it. Is there something in the ROM created by WellcoM that would prevent USB debugging?
I saw this with a MID Android tablet I tried before as well. Can they disable the debugging option even though the menu option for this still exists? Or perhaps there is something else I have to do?
For lesser known devices, what can I do to get access like this? How can I find out how to reboot the device, perform recoveries, install custom ROMs, etc.?
Thanks,
gonzobrains
The main thread is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976605 but I can't reply to it (too new). I know there is some sort of security setting I need to change to put it in developers mode before the program will work...but can someone tell me what/where to make the chances. I can't seem to find it. Thanks!
OK, found that. You need to enable USB debugging mode in your phone (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging).
But when I plugged in the phone in debugging mode, it needed to install ADB drivers and can't find them. Where do I get them?
You will need to install the Android SDK on your computer. google it.
Apparently you also need Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 25

Several people have been asking for help to root the Huawei U8652 (i.e. AT&T GoPhone Fusion U8652). After a little work, I figured out how to get this to work.
All previous users were having problems utilizing known techniques to root other Huawei phones of similar design.
Seems that the good folks at AT&T used a little trick to block the fundamental layers by which the root kits were using to gain access. It appeared that the phone had disabled certain logging features that would allow one to root the phone.
Here is how to do it (keep in mind you are doing this at your own risk, I am not responsible for any problems that you may encounter):
1. You need to install the latest Android SDK (search google for latest version)
2. download unlockroot v2.3
3. Follow the instructions and make sure that you have set your Settings > Development > USB Debugging box checked. I also set Unknown sources checkbox on.
4. Type in the following code on the phone keypad
*#*# 2846579 #*#*
This will open up the Service Mode
Go to Project Menu > Background Settings > Log Settings
Turn on Log Switch and set Log Level Settings to Verbose
go back one screen
Go to Dump and Log and place a check in all log settings.
Reboot the phone
Once rebooted use UnlockRoot and root you phone.
Confirm success by using a Terminal app from the marketplace (free) and when you open a terminal type su at the $ prompt. It will ask if you want to install SuperUser, accept. The terminal prompt should now read # instead of $ which means you are a root user.
Good Luck!
Tried your method but says "Not find devise"
i did it worked on huawei u8652 thanks dude
It Really Works, My Huawei is Finally Rooted. Thx
Thanks
Thanks, worked first time. Now to ADB and remove the ATT bloatware.
No device detected
Followed your guide but when i got to unlock root it would say that no device was detected but i had enabled usb debugging and the log files.
K SHOE did you install sdk manager that happened to me but i downloaded sdk manager and the plugins and it worked the second time

what plugins are you supposed to install i installed the sdk manager and then nothing else was their somthing in manager i was supposed to install.
Nope doesn't work on mine either. But I have Android 2.3.5 so I am sure that's the issue.
K SHOE i downloaded the sdk manager that said android sdk r16 windows.zip opened sdk then installed a bunch of things or if you want i can unroot mine and make a tutorial for u and post it on utube
I like that idea !

I have tried and tried but when I read the compatibility version 2.3.5 is not listed.
Thanks
Update: Got it to work with superOneClick.
Worked like a charm on my daughters phone! I used superoneclick 2.3.3.
Ok so I downloaded SDK manager , put the cell on debugging mode also did the *#*# 2846579 #*#* step but when I connect my phone to de pc it doesn’t come up on superoneclick or ultra lock . Is there any particular package that I must download from SDK manager? Or am I missing any step in the proses? I have Android 2.3.5

It will tell you all you need to know. Make sure not AV software is running and that you are running it as admin on windows. I know it's scary but it's what's required to make it work. Good luck.

Thank you very much man. I watched the video on the button and did exactly as it says. Once I connected the phone, in the general tab I pressed the Root button and it worked its magic. It works on 2.3.5, I used SuperOneClick2.3.3
Worked for me!
This process worked for me. UnlockRoot did not recognize my device on the first try, but after restarting my computer it went off without a hitch. Followed up the rooting with bloatware removal, now this phone is a true value. Thanks!
UPDATE: I purchased another one of these phones for my mother to introduce her to the world of smartphones. I rooted it using this method and it went pretty well. UnlockRoot did not recognize the device on the first try, but eventually picked it up and took care of business. I'm a noob to rooting and the android OS, so I figured I would pass along the easy method I went with to remove the AT&T bloatware. I downloaded link2sd (which is free) and after gaining superuser permissions, I used the "convert to user app" function on the bloatware. I then was able to move those apps to the SD card and then uninstall them. This might not be as efficient a process as using root explorer to delete the files, but for a noob it was much safer. I was able to free up over 70 MB of internal memory which finally allowed me to install more apps to the SD card.
SuperOneClick 2.3.3 worked for me. Awesome!
How do you reboot the phone?
I have a question:
How do reboot a huawei U8652 phone?
I need to know in order to continue...
worked like a charm!! thanks now i hope there a rom fo this phone.
