Topic says it all, I just installed Gingerblur 1.2 after flashing then rooting and updating to 1.57 w/root before installing Gingerblur.
Still new to this and was wondering how to install Non-Market apps if possible at all.
just put the .apk on your phone. either via external sd card, usb connection to PC for mass storage, or email it to yourself as an attachment. there are other ways as well.

yeah you gotta enable something called sideloading. Then your good to go! this can be done when you first root using the gladroot method. It will ask you if you want sideloading just click yes! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060 Actually gingerblur itself will enable sideloading too and if none of that is working for ya try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017373
Thank You guys.
Also when I did root it asked me to install some tethering option and I selected yes because I would like to be able to tether. What did it install during that option and how do I use it.

Total noob....especially when it comes to android so don't be too brutal.
I followed all directions to install clockwork, the latest vegan, and flash. As far as I can tell everything went well. I do get some force closes but nothing major.
But when I tried to get the Android Market up and running it says my device hasn't been rooted. This also occurs when I try to install some other apps such as busybox.
Am I confusing rooting with installing clockwork and custom roms?
I apologize if this is an insanely dumb question.
If you successfully installed Vegan 5.1, you should have root access. In your app drawer, do you have an app called Superuser with a little ninja icon?

No I don't have superuser. But I have a ton more apps that with the stock from viewsonic so I assumed I installed vegan successfully.

I don't use Vegan, but try going to Settings ==> About Tablet, and that might show whether or not you have Vegan installed.

Re apply rom. Wipe data,cash,davlic using cwm then flash the vegan rom then wipe data and cash. When it restarts look for super user in the app drawer. It should be there.
Thank you I will try that tonight.
Reinstalled everything........wiped everything during the process.
It appears I am running Vegan but a soon as I try to open the Android Market app it immediately closes. I can't follow the steps to install the market.
hey,im trying to unroot my htc aria with the universal rooting app but when i try to install the file on my device i get an error saying "for security, your phone is set to block installation..."
and when i click the "settings" i dont have the option ""allow installation of non-market applications"
how can i root my device without installing the clockworkmod recovory?
Thank you,
Yulia.
Only way you can because at&t blocked sideloading apps... unless you go on Google and type HTC sideloading machine or something like that.
Signatures are fancy.

Your question is very confusing. You are trying to use a rooting app to un-root your device? Your topic title mentions un-rooting but your last sentence asks how you can root. Not sure I follow.
If your Aria has the official ATT Froyo build you are probably not rooted and cannot root your phone with any downloaded app.

Android Central Sideloading Wonder Machine.
I'm also not to clear on what you're asking. But that program will allow you to install whatever app you want.

Running the latest version of Greyblur, I noticed in the feature list it said sideloading enabled however i can't seem to figure out how to sideload after installing greyblur
Any help would be greatly appreciated
(i would have posted in the greyblur thread in dev section but i am a noob)
help anyone? i know i can sideload through SWM but i'd like to be able to utilize titanium pro backups for my apps
Root for apps such as Titanium Backup, which you have if GreyBlur is installed.
Sideloading allows installation of non market apps.

Ririal's GladEnabler will get it done
Superuser.apk is force closing on me. I can run TiBu and Wireless Tether (both of which require root access), so I know I have root access, but when I try to open the superuser.apk, or when I install / upgrade an app I get a FC from the superuser.apk.
Where I am:
-ATT Atrix, stock / bootloader locked with 4.5.91 applied through USB over stock / bootloader locked / rooted 4.1.83
-Did the preinstall root method from briefmobile after the 4.5.91 update
-Updated the superuser.apk from the market
-Rebooted a number of times
At this point the phone is running fine, and I need it for work so I want to stay away from a potential brick, but I have gone through custom ROM's on previous phone (ATT Captivate). The FC is really more of an annoyance, and I'd like to make sure that if / when I decide to go the custom ROM route my su is working as it should.
Any thoughts / suggestions?
OK, I read a bit more and tried to clear the data on the superuser app. Now, after a reboot, TiBu can't even get root access because the app FC's when I open TiBu.
Help?!

Have you tried unrooting, factory reset, and then rooting yet?...
No, haven't tried that. To unroot, should I just uninstall the superuser.apk? I don't think I've seen an unroot script for 4.5.91 yet.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try that once I figure out the best way to unroot.
OK, it appears to be resolved.
What I did:
-uninstall the superuser.apk through Manage Applications
-download the preinstall file from the XDA forum post (versus the file from briefmobile.com)
-re-ran the same steps
-rebooted
All appears to be working now. My guess is that it was user error (read: I did something wrong the first time).
Nevermind...
Hi everyone,
I followed the instructions here: http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/01/02/nook-tablet-rooting-guide-complete-walkthrough-video/
to root my nook tablet. It seems to work. At the very least I am able to side load one of the apps I wanted, however, I am unable to install the google market or even find an apk for it along with some of the google apps. My nook settings say its version 9.9.9 now if that helps.
Is there something I can do to get the google market installed? Or is there a way to reset this back to stock and use a better method if that is a preferred way. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Or is my phone even rooted? I just tried busybox and it said I was not rooted...

It sounds like you're not rooted, but rooting isn't all that hard. Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487
Alternatively, if you've got an SD card and are interested, you can try this super easy method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
Both of those methods include gApps, if I'm not mistaken, which also means that they'll get the Android Market installed for you.

The Nook&Zergy zip file that is mentioned in the first link I believe is the same .zip I used when I followed the instructions for the other link I posted. It said it had the gApps but never installed them for some reason and I was never able to get them to install. It gave an error message instead. Everything else worked though.
