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...

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?

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,

Hi guys,
I bought a tablet from the guys over at Allview. The price was decent and the tablet is nice, but the douchy problem is that they did not include the android marketplace. I need it.
The device runs a eclair (android 2.1) update 1. Is there any way to install the marketplace without rooting the device ? and If not, can the device be rooted ? It has no phone capabilities (no sim, no gps, no camera) so I have 0 ideea what tool to use, especially because i really have no ideea what happends when rooting.
The little i got informationwise is that i'd probably need to root it > connect it to pc, use the andorid debugging console to "push" the app into the system folder. Tried to install whatever vendor.apks I could find but since the "host" os was uncertain, it's probably why they could not be installed. Alas, i may be wrong. Can you please help me out ?
if you need more infor google allview or Alldro
Thanks a lot !

Here ya go! just download it to your destop, transfer it to you device via usb, or download it to android device and run it from there!
thanks a huge lot !!! I will try this out. if it cannot install it means I will probably have to root the damn thing
thought as much. it won't install. I'm using ES explorer to install it (my device is not rooted yet, as I mentioned before) and no luck.
EDIT 1: Also tried copy=pasting it into the system/app folder. it says android marketplace blablabla copy failed. Is it possible that I am dealing with a NAND lock ?
could be that system is mounted read only.
Do you have root?
nope, not yet. I;m trying to root it as we speak... so far still going through the steps
EDIT: trying this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858952
so far i got to making the recovery image. for some idiotic reason however, I cannot do adb reboot recovery again ! it tells me error: protocol fault (no status)
my guess is that it doesn't like the recovery folder's name. else i don't get what's wrong ! I am going to rename the folder, and then attempt a second reboot-recovery. see if that works !
EDIT2: did not work. Could it be something else ?
ok i did it ! the problem was I had skipped rooting and forgot to add a few more params after doing the backup... whew ! that was a close call ! ffs !

Hi,
Is there such an app for the phone P2 from Allview?
Thank you in advance,
Poli
You will need to root your device to be able to push the vending apk into the system apps.
1. Root. its essential to do so.
2. Mount system partition r/w > google for adb commands on how to do that and adb in general
3. download the google apps provided above and either unzip and push vending apk to system/apps (not sure about the exact names, you'll have to see for yourself by using Root Explorer) . Restart phone > should work.
Hi XDA
I am new to the Android scene but not new to hacking and moding in general. I have an Asus Transformer that I've been trying to root for over a day now with out success.
I've been following this guide since I don't want to remove the information from my tablet as I actually want to gain root to back up some applications before I continue further down the CWM and mod's path.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
I have adb setup and can access the device in apx mode, when running the batch script for root, the terminal shows that it's copying data, and I see output successful written twice on the tablet it's self, If i further continue the CWM batch script I get a 3rd successful message appear on the tablet.
I reboot the transformer and enter normal mode, and ensure debugging is actively set, and a little bumblebee icon is in the bottom status bar, I then proceed to run the root_app batch which should open up su for me.
However even though I don't receive any error messages and only successful ones, it just wont root! I've tried replacing the boot.img and recovery.img from another post on rooting, to see if this would give any success alas non was given.
I am now completely lost on what I can do next, I don't understand why this wont work for me, whilst it seems to work correctly for everyone else.
The details of the transformer as current:
Android 3.1
Kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-gf377a2b
Build hmj37.ww-epad-8.4.4.5-201105271
Dock EP101-0209
I am using windows 7 64 with drivers installed and asus sync installed.
Nvidia USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices
Date 31/01/2011
Version 1.1.1.0
Please can I get some direction from the XDA community on this issue since I've got over 20 tabs open in my browser looking information up and yet nothing seems to help, as stated I don't want to loose my data just yet since I really want to back up a couple of apps of importance to me, hence I am having to use this rooting method for now.
I would of posted in the above linked thread but XDA wont let me since I am a new member.
Please can someone shed some light on this for me? I am willing to rip out the boot.img from the transformer my self, and mod it given the commands and little help since I can't see what else I can do.
Bump
Can someone please move this to applicable transformer area? This thread is being viewed but not answered, and I think I need a dev to look at it
Is there anyone here who can confirm the drivers I am using for apx are ok? I did pull them from the package which is part of the guide I linked and was following.
More info
Well i've ensured that JDK and SDK are installed that all parts are updated and installed according to the adb guide, and yet still nothing...
.
Here is a sample output on the transformer after running root.bat
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/204/20110622112439.jpg
Restricting new users is actually pretty S**T i can't post in correct threads, I can't add links to images to show my outputs what a way to welcome new people!!
With regards to running the root_app.bat which gives the superuser permissions, I have debugging enabled, and I see my tablet in windows I can explore the file system and I see it listed as Transformer TF101 under portable devices.
Driver Provider Microsoft
Driver date: 21/06/2006
Driver Version 6.1.7600.16385
Could it be a problem with this driver?
Stop looking and start answering I am getting really F*** off here, I've had no sleep and i am still no further forward, 2days of hell for something that people are reporting as the fastest and easiest root ever!
What driver version do you have listed in windows when you have the tablet connected under debug mode? please at least someone help me with that answer so I can continue this dam search for a fix.
Anyone?
If you could please just confirm if your using the same drivers when having the tablet on in normal mode, and connected with debug option active.
Going to spam this now so I can link into the original guides tread.
Spam to unlock my account 1.
Spam to unlock my account 2.
Spam to unlock my account 3.
Spam to unlock my account 4. Should be unlocked so i can post in dev section.
FIXED!
Ok so i finally got pissed off with this and having a strong suspicion it was a driver level issue only I ripped all the drivers out for normal mode, with and with out debugging.
I re-installed the device and the drivers fresh from ASUS website (again) and low and behold it's working.
I believe the reason for my issue was a corrupt MTP driver, I recently did the asus sync update and that caused a number of sporadic errors! (Adobe AIR completely disappeared out my system!)
Anyway, thanks to the XDA community NOT (69 views not a single confirmation of driver version I was asking for!) I WILL help others and since I've spammed this thread enough to unlock the dev threads it's now being posted and linked there for the benefit of others!
3hours sleep 2 days of messing = pissed off but finally relived user of transformer!
Big shout to the dev's who have made the tools in the first place you're doing a great job, and I hope to assist, with guides, testing and maybe a mod or two.
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.

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

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.

Thank you
I have searched for months on end to try and find a way to root my Goclever quantum 700s but hadnt had any luck up until now i download some software called "mobilego" made by "wondershare"
(id post the link but im new here so this isnt allowed as yet) google the above
Install mobilego to your pc/laptop
Start mobilego and connect your device (enable usb debugging)
At the top of mobilego you will see the "root" button click that and away you go it will find all drivers it needs automatically and also its app on your device (not sure why my guess would be for communication during root) your tablet will restart once or twice but just leave it to run DONT use the device once its complete congratulations you now have root access.
I tried all other methods every single .apk i could find all failed the above method worked for me so thought i would share as i see nobody claiming to have root yet so this maybe helpful
PS i would like someone to point me in the right direction as to identify what it has installed so i can maybe find a suitable custom rom that will work with the help from you guys :good:
