Hi, Ive just updated my mini pro to 2.1 nordic firmware but ive notice the application installer thats suppose to be in the menu has dissapeared.
I just bought the phone so i didnt back up, now i have no means of detecting and installing universalroot/rootexplorer and other apps. Do you guys know where i can download it, i dont know what to do at the moment, ty.
Search on market for apps installer or grab any file manager that you want from market as those usually give you the possibility to install apps from the SD card.
Is there a way to download an app installer application from my computer to my phone or sd card? I cant browse the internet on my phone at the moment, ty.
Attached is an Application Installer that comes with 2.1 fw SG. It will search ur sdcard for all apk files. The other one is Linda Manager, a free file browser and installer.
Edited: I just realised that even if u copy over to ur sdcard, u can't install from 2.1 without an installer or file browser =x.
There is a way around the problem, install the Android SDK and use adb install <package> with your phone connected to your computer with USB.

I've no wifi or internet access on my phone, wonder how could install using my pc. as using media go and pc companion couldn't add themes, games and apps to my x10a. even couldn't download from sites which they require using android device i've too..
Download the apk to your computer and transfer to your phone and install.
Go to settings, application, tap selection to install from unknown sources ( My fone is in dutch, forgive if the option ain't the same as i written.)
Than open with Astro your wanted app/game. Install with app manager.
Voila, thats all.
If you ain't have Astro.
Search in the forum for ADB, its just a command that can push app trough cable to you phone and install it immediately. If you even can't accomplish that and i suggest you even didn't root your fone now its time to do. I thought it will also install an file explorer *Not sure*.
And if you even don't wanna root your phone, my last suggestion is to prepare your computer/notebook with a Ad-Hoc wifi connection. You will just have to share your internet connection between your Lan and Wifi, set-up an Ad-Hoc network with password. Connect your phone on it, and you have network. Only thing to do in market is download any File-explorer programm. And you can install any downloaded apk that you have put it on your storage card.
GOOD LUCK!
Thanks guys for your support, while searching and searching for way to install apps and games to Android, my x10a I've found a pc software no commands needed to type in console. here it is androidcommander.com I've downloaded and it works for me.
Dear friends a strange problem arose with me regarding installing .apk
I had just update my dell streak with update.pkg from dell. But the problem is that my net is disabled somehow and I don't have wireless connection too. Though I have backup of all application but I need to install file manager first. But now as I can't open market to download either through net or wireless. Is there any way to install apk from computer through usb. Plz I need it badly as I can't do nothing without installing file manager.
Yes, you can, but you will need the Android SDK installed on the PC.
Full install instructions, and download links are at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Once you have it installed, it is as simple as typing adb install packagefile.apk into your PC, to install a package onto your phone.
ok...downloaded both SDK and JDk.....installed JDK but when installing SDK its again showing same page to install JDk....i'm using windows 7 starter pack on my ASUS Eee PC netbook
google, and you will find this is an error, the way to fix this is click the back button, then it will reset and find it!
Well what I found is CONNECTIFY a program which enable mobile to use laptop net. Very useful software.

I think even the stock ROM comes with Quick office or something like that that will allow accessing the SD card if you were to put the apk on the sd card and install it from there. I may be wrong though, it's been forever since I used a stock ROM
Well thanks dear it worked tht way.....now installed SDK
Solved problem already. What I did:
-Installed rootexplorer
-Installed xRec3-GB-Ready by copying stuff to root /
-used xrec to install former miui rom
Got Miui back and usb works again haven't tested the flash mode yet.. hope I wont be needing that.
---------------
Hello,
Considering my X10i phone. I've had the miui-cobrato ROM installed for about a year when my GPS started acting weird. To solve this problem I used PC Companion to reflash my phone to the stock 2.3.3 rom and thus GPS worked again. Today I tried to root this version using flashtool. Flashtool did indeed root my phone, however, since rooting, the usb connection has been unavailable. With this i mean that I can charge, but can no longer make a data connection. Neither sides (PC nor phone) detects the other one. Even when booting with the back-button pressed nothing shows up in device-manager under windows or lsusb under linux.
I now rember seeing some warning about MTP mode which i had ignored earlier. Could this have be the culprit? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Using the terminal emulator and 'lsmod' I could see only one module loaded "ar6000". Perhaps I should load some USB module. I'm assuming this is integrated in the kernel, but you never know
Regards,
Wbdsgnr
Ready by copying stuff to root what did you mean i have the same ....USB connection broken
You'll have to download the xrecovery for x10 from xda and somehow get it on your phone. I just used my wifi for that. Next I used file explorer to copy the contents of the zip file to my root directory. This in turn installed xrec so I could install the custom rom I still had on my memory card.
Search for xrecovery 3.0 GB ready. This is the version I used for my stock 2.3.3 system.

-Installed rootexplorer ok..
-Installed xRec3-GB-Ready by copying stuff to root ok...but /"Can't mount sdcard" "resoure or device busy" "dev/block/mmcblk0
Hello;
This was my first time installing a Rom. I was fed up with my phone responding slowly and in time jams.
1-The first thing I did was install cwm recovery v6.0.2.7.
2-Then use the S3 tool kit available in xda to make a backup of all except system apps and internal storage data and it was stored in a .bak file. So that games and other apps keep their info as it is a hassle to start from the beginning.
3-Installed CM 10.1 nightly used in the instructions provided here.
All is okay up to here.
4-Tried to restore apps and app data through S3 tool kit but it won't display the data in the phone. I did enable the usb debugging on the cm10.1 (by pressing 7 times on the build name to enable the developers option and enabling usb debugging). I had the same problem when trying to do the backup in step 2, but it connected through the adb mode. This problem is that when ever I connect a device via usb windows installs the driver so every time I connect my phone windows installs the drivers.
5- When step 4 did not work I tried to restore using Holo Backup but no use no able to connect through to adb mode.
I can access the phone storage but I believe the appropriate drivers are not running when using the restore programs even though they are installed.
So the questions are:
1- Is there a way to fix the connection to be able to use S3 unified tool kit or if any one has dealt with the same problem?
2- Is there a way to restore the .bak file via cwm recovery?
3-For future use; An app or program that can be stored in the phone to avoid the use of a PC. The app or program would back-up contacts, sms text, apps and app data into the virtual sd or cloud to avoid deletion when "wipe data/ factory reset" after installing a rom.
I look forward to your replies.
Thank you.
What drivers do you have? Have you tried Universal Naked Driver? That's the only way I could get adb to work on mine when running CyanogenMod

The image below shows the Drivers I currently have.
I used to have a lot more but a majority of them were copies of the same driver.
I had 2 other Samsung drivers but I also deleted them. According to an article that stated a fix to the problem is to uninstall all usb drivers except mouse and keyboard and reinstall the usb drivers of the device desired, but no success.

I tried to install the universal naked driver but no success. I followed the instruction went into the device manager and under the samsung android phone was the samsung android ADB interface which I uninstalled and checked the delete part. The pc requested to restart which I forgot to turn off the the internet which resulted in the driver being installed once it restarted. Tried a second and third time with no internet but when I uninstall and check the delete marker the pc does not ask to reboot. And if I try to update the driver with VND it notifies me that it is up to date.
Any solutions?

removed the .bak extension and placed it in the download folder of my virtual sd folder and pressed restore on cwm but nothing happened.
Could be because the backup is password protected?
Also tried to restore the file via titanium backup through the extract simple adb with and without the extension but only says analyzing file and remains that way for hours.
I have done some searching but I have a time constraint so I am hoping someone can assist me. We are looking into supporting Android at our facility whether it be employee owned or company purchased. My question is how do you register Google Play to download the MDM app it you do not have or want a gmail account? Or how do I install my custom app on a tablet without an SD card or "Astro File Manager"
I have put the APK file in the Downloads folder but that does not work.
How are you registering devices under a Corporate identity?
Thaks for any assistance.
