Where is the non-market app option?

Why can't I find this in the options? Please don't tell me that this is the norm for HTC phones...

It's the norm for AT&T android phones. you can either use the Sideload wonder machine or just push whatever you want installed via adb

Yes. You have to change a db file.

Okay, I am kinda new to this whole root manipulation thing (I did some when I had the original Tilt), but this is exactly the topic I was looking for. I want to install Applanet, but it won't let me because it was not found in the "Market." How would I take care of this. Is there a step-by-step process to do this that someone wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks!

Download the .apk on to your SD card, then follow these directions step by step:

You also need the HTC drivers and Microsoft .Net framework, as explained in the instructions.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Okay, this is the error message I get when I try and run the SWM:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How do I get this .NET Framework version?
EDIT: I'm downloading the 4.0 .NET Framework now. I'll see if it works.

I'm so proud! I got it installed! I had to figure out a couple of things, and why it was giving me certain messages...but, I guess I'm smarter than I give myself credit for. LoL
(ie. I didn't have the .apk file where the SWM was located, and I thought the debugging was on, but clearly it wasn't. LoL)
So, I'm good to go for future installs of non-market apps!

Nice work, it can sometimes be a process but it's very rewarding once things start working like they should have in the first place (thanks AT&T ). Congrats!

Another way to install non market apps
forum.xda-developers. com /showpost.php?p=11487406&postcount=17
(cant post links yet, sorry)
I just tried this method and it worked pretty good. it will say it failed both times but after rebooting the phone the non market apps will download and install without a problem, without having to use swm. May not be the best way, just another way.

I am sorry, but what does it mean to PUSH an app through ADB?

You move (push) an app that you want to install from your computer to your phone through the use of adb commands.

Ok, so I have been using the Sideload wonder machine to install apps I downloaded from other sources. I just used SWM to install the Applanet app. But the ATT setting on the Inspire will not let it download apps. It there a way to get around this? I don't really want to root if I don't have to. I have rooted other phones in the past, but the rooting of this phone seems a little more complicated.

The only way to be able to install apps FROM the phone that were not from the Android market is to root.

Thank you. Looks like I have some reading to do about rooting...

I wonder what happens when amazon comes out with their android app market.

That is a damn good question.
I just spent the last 2 hours reading about rooting. It really looks intense. I have rooted a lot of other phones in the past, but they all seemed so cut and dry compared to the Inspire.

otherwise no problems with other things
camera,games, music, internet, wifi, bluetooth, everything is working fine.
not rooted , just updated to 2.3.4 and now its even worst then before.

Look around, there are numerous guides you can use, to downgrade then root an install a rom.

I would go to Xda Home Page and click on "wiki". From there, select HTC Glacier, & then follow the downgrade guide. After successfully downgrading to Froyo, then (still in the wiki section), find the Ultimate S-off guide and follow it. You will use visionary to temp root, and gfree to get s-off, then visionary to perma root...at least that's what I did. It sounds complicated, but once you get all your files in place and installed on you pc & phone, it takes 10 minutes tops..
** First,I am all for rooting, and I am entirely comfortable doing it. However, if I were you, I would read some of peoples posts that have had issues, to make yourself familiar with the process, so that you might learn from what they did wrong. Just search the forums for downgrading..and rooting. Spend a couple hours reading, it is something I failed to do, and nearly messed up! It's only a suggestion, but it helps if you sorta understand what you are doing. I don't want you to brick your phone & think I talked you into jumping in too fast! Just realize that while I wouldn't hesitate to root a brand new one if I had it, THERE IS A CHANCE OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE! **
Good Luck..

[Q] Unbricked to newest 4.1.1 release, now unrooted on SCH-i535 Verizon

I unbricked my phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
It gave me a choice of factory stock roms to install during the recovery:
Step 2: Download one of the Factory Stock roms below to your pc:

So, now my phone appears as if it came with JB out of the box. I have no root and it's running smooth as butter! Love, love, love it.
Can someone describe the current state of my phone? I know that sounds like a stupid question -- and it likely is -- but I can't understand how I have JB yet not rooted.
And two issues I need help resolving:
1) USB connection to my Mac. I used to have some issues on out-of-the-box ICS but Android File Transfer app solved those issues. Now that doesn't even pick up the connection.
2) Wifi Tethering. If there is a rooted solution for my setup, I need to if root guides are safe to follow with the current state of my phone.
-Obviously a newb... but lots of love and respect to the developers out here who make life so much easier for all of us normal folk.

I'm running 4.1.1 too and love it. I'm not rooted either or unlocked.
Android file transfer no longer works with the GS3. I have a Mac too and I'm not happy that I can't transfer files easily.
A lot of people on these forums will tell you about alternatives but honestly, they all suck. Android file transfer was amazing. Only thing we can hope for is a new version from Google...

i guess i can use bluetooth for the one off file transfers. But if down the road I need to get in there for more heavy lifting I'll need to fix that.
Most importantly though - no wifi tether on 4.1.1 for Verzon gs3's ?

I got the other issues fixed except google search is not returning a voice response.

Make sure to backup internal sd and ONLY use the full wipe versions in odin.

!!!Working root method for Huawei Ascent G312 U8681!!!

-----I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone, use at your own risk.-----
I've finally found a working method for this!
I've been searching the internet for a week trying to find a method to root this phone I got from Wind Mobile. Aparently NOTHING had worked, SuperOneClick, z4root, etc.
I went onto irc.freenode.net and the channel #oudhitsquad and they were able to help me out! And the method is so simple I'm surprised no one has known about it.
The program is called Poot. Linked at the bottom.
How to root the phone:
Run Poot. When it first runs it will say it has to install a program it gets from the market called Ministro. Just download and install it. Then re-run Poot.
It will then say it needs to download binaries, let it download and install them
When it finally gets to the main Poot screen, press the button at the top that says: Press here to poot.
It may give you an error in the log, it did to me but still worked. Now REBOOT your phone.
Once booted, install Superuser or SuperSU, whichever you want.
You should now be rooted. Download Root Validator and test.
This root method does not install Busybox, so you'll have to install it yourself. Just use Busybox Installer or something.
But there you go! Finally a working root method for this phone!
---------EDIT-----------
The program will probably give you some kind of error. Aparently this is normal, I got error 64, Jack got error 22. But it still worked. Just download Root Validator to test it.

This might seem silly, but how to you run Poot?

Like any other program, once you install it, it's in your app drawer. The file in the zip is an APK file. Transfer it to your phone and install it.

SOLVED!!!
This totally worked! Thanks a bunch dude!
I owe you a beer.

Good. And funny we live in the same city so I can actually hit you up on that offer!

Thanks, it works!
Thank you for sharing - after long searches I finally rooted my Wind G312 phone.:good:

Glad it worked!

This works great for u8680 also, but i was messing with bootloader and brick my phone. Blue and pink screen

Doing this shouldn't do that. Did you only run poot and nothing else?
You can try a reset. Take the battery out and put it back in. Hold volume up and power until you see the screen with the model number.
Then choose wipe cache and wipe data.

It worked for all, but for u..............?????????.
I think u have did some mischievous thing while following the method..

Can I flash roms?

This only shows how to root.
But we can already apply custom rooms from recovery. But since there's no backup option or a default firmware we can use, if you mess up something, you're boned.

hi, this root method works on u8680 to, i was messing with bootloader and brick my phone, so is there an update.app for this phone? and if there is can i use it on u8680? i can only get in blue and pink screen.

No idea. There's really no development on this phone. Create a new thread and ask.

This is something I've been searching for but I fail! I get error "ministro cannot satisfy your application dependencies" sigh. Any tips on what (and how) to check what's wrong? I admit I'm noob at this but sure would like to be rooted. I think ministro did not download the qt binaries? So l uninstalled ministro and then went went to the ministro site to download it from there and it worked. Unsure why the play store version failed but wanted to share this tip.

anyone have issues with it just not working? i get the same error messages (64 and 22), reboot, install supersu, but the root doesn't take in.
thanks

[Q] Verizon forcing the 4.4.3 update on me or...??

So I was just greeted with this:

Any way to get out of this? I tried to click 'Install later' but that just forces me to set a time.
If I set a time, will I have the option to not download it? I'm completely stock and would've eventually like to try the firewater method to soff and whatnot. Not a huge deal, I'm fine with paying for Sunshine but I'd just rather not do the update if I don't have to.
Thanks.

Just got this notification this morning as well and was about to post the same thing. Wanted to see if I could postpone til tonight, then give firewater a try before the update was scheduled.

I've just been clicking the link that's in my first screenshot then clicking the home button and that makes it go away for a bit. Might just install it because it's very annoying, unless there's another way to stop it...

Without root I don't believe it's possible to get rid of the update and the nagging. If you want to get root I would try using firewater now before your phone updates since it's free and you might get lucky and have it work for you. However there is a possibility it won't work since they changed things on some of the newer m8's. If you want to root and soff after updating your only option will be the sunshine method which costs $25. That is the only method that works on 4.4.3 as of now.

I ended up with the same thing this morning. I am already rooted and S-off and have the newest 4.4.3 firmware. I think if you are rooted you can use TBU or something and rename a couple of files that will stop the Ota. Here is a link to a thread that might be helpful if you get rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/block-ota-updates-t2871520
Hopefully this is helpful.
