Best sideloading

Just run the SuperOneClick rooting tool. Click root. Wait till its done. Click Enable Non-Market apps. Restart Phone. Install apps from the SD card.
You dont get actual root but you can install any app you want no hassle.

This is confirmed. I ran SuperOneClick. It ran all the way through with no errors like I got root and then I clicked Allow Non Market Apps. After disconnecting and rebooting, of course I truly did not have root, but I tried installing a non market apk file from my sd card and it worked!! It did not add the option to the settings menu, but nonetheless it is enabled. This should work great for the Amazon Appstore now. Thanks for the heads up!!

Confirmed x2 - this was all I was looking for ATM.. Didn't think about using the ol SuperOneClick

SOC will give you temp root until you reboot.
All you need is temp root to enable Non-market apps...I suggested this to people a month or so ago.
Glad to see it show up again. Its a super-easy solution for those not wanting full root, but still wanting sideloading.
It's even easier to do than the Sideloading wonder machine...

Works great. I still think its time for me to go all the way.

Gives temp root? Sweet all I need

At first Amazon store was cool getting a couple free apps. Then I realized they don't transfer over and you have to continue using amazon store to update them. Kinda sucks just to save a couple bucks.

Your not cool till you root

Root if you want more features. As for performance, the stock kernel on 4.0.4 is pretty fast.

Thanks for the warm welcome and just got time to respond. So going to dig into the S and root it.

I don't see any reason not to root your phone.

I rooted my phone using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1007782. When I vol up and power should I see clockworkmod when not connected to the usb? I don't. I downloaded Rom Manager and nothing went into superuser?
What am I doing wrong??
I have to usb, cmd, fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img every time?
Shouldn't it just stick?

After you flash recovery, you should boot into it. Then flash a ROM. If you leave it stock, there is a script that flashes stock recovery every boot, so you lose cwm.
There is a way to disable that script if you want to remain stock, but i can't remember where i saw the instructions for that.

So am I not actually rooted then? Super user is still empty and titanium backup is still failing to get root??
I tried this below but it wouldn't let me change the name?? I used astro, solid explorer and ES file. If I have root shouldn't I be able to do this?
"Note: There is a script in your phone that will remove ClockworkMod recovery when you reboot. In order to stop this from happening, download a root explorer from the Market (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, File Expert). Use it to navigate to /system/etc/ on your phone. Find a file named “install-recovery.sh” and rename to to something like “install-recovery.sh.bak”. This will render it disabled and will make sure you keep your custom recovery."
via http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/nexus-s-rooting-guide

Factory images from Google don't have the install-recovery.sh file. Only if you get OTA you will have that file.

How does one flash custom prls?

I found the thread telling how to enable all lte modes which gave the handy dandy msl reader app and that's all well and good, but I can't seem to find where the manual prl update is :/ I've found it on the og evo and my S3 but it don't see it in the ##data# menu on this bad boy. Am I just blind? If so please braille it out for me (and I mean absolutely no offense to the vision impaired, just trying to be funny)

Haven't tried it myself, but you need root to use it.
I just use Roam control to force roaming.

PRL write works!!!
in the rom mentioned above, the write PRL option is there when you hit ##data# and then select view. Just scroll down a bit and youll see write prl. I just did it, verified working. Data speeds now faster thank you for the ROM suggestion!!

Prl helper does not work on stock rooted

F****** awesome, I was hoping they didn't cheap out and go with the 16/2 like people have been saying...

so i was able to root it with towel root and it verified with a root checker. only thing is that supersu fails to update the binaries.

Almost sounds like Fastboot was on. Glad you were able to confirm root, not to mention the 3GB/32GB version. Your post solidified it....this will be my next phone.

Why did they go with silver back buttons? =/ The black ones look better..

Snap some random pictures and upload them in the pictures thread. Battery life screenshots would be great as the days go on. Anymore feedback would be awesome, enjoy the device!

Non Rooted Roms For TAB2 10.1? Lollipop or later

Hi just flashed MM to my Tab 2 but even though I love the speed of it Sky Q app will not work on it as it wont run on rooted devices even on a device which has root but root is disabled.
So, looking for a rom that is better than the stock but does not have any root stuff on it that sky q is detecting, (apparently a common problem with this app)
Any help would be appreciated as want a newer rom but need sky q to work but so many varietys of roms around don't know where to start.
Thanks

Have you tired using supersu's unroot option to see if it can remove what that sky app is looking for?

Yeah, if you don't have SuperSu, get it off the Playstore. Open the app, tap settings and you will get an option which says Enable SuperUser. Turn that off and root is gone until you turn it back on

I think all custom roms come rooted. See if unrooting will fix it.

omni and aosp comes unrooted
