You have to install from the browser to get the option to install from unknown sources ... are you doing that?

Are you installing from the browser (as opposed to installing from the file explorer)? I have seen some state that if you don't do it right the first time, you won't have a second opportunity, you'll have to do a factory reset, though that was not my experience.

Hi guys...
I have some problem on my Vibrant of Android Market App not connecting (due to some unknown reason with my Google account). So, I decided to download and install Clockwork ROM Manager manually. I did so successfully. Now, I cannot figure out how to install Clockwork Recovery? The official site just gives me a .zip file. I don't know what to do with this .zip file. And I cannot download it from within CW ROM Manager, it gives some internet error...
If someone can guide me step by step, it would be awesome...
Thanks a lot in advance...

extract the contents of the .zip to anywhere on your sd card. then use a file manager of your choice (astro, linda) to locate the .apk and install it to your phone. however, keep in mind YOU ALSO NEED TO HAVE THE PREMIUM LICENSE APK INSTALLED IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK. once ROM manager is up and running on your phone, just flash Clockwork through that.
edit: this is objective advice to help out, but please know that I do not support outside downloading of paid apps. and you might want to be careful because Clockwork is huge on this forum, and there are A LOT of supporters. you should be asking how to fix your market problem, not how to install ROM Manager for free. just my thoughts, good luck
Thanks for the reply...
I have installed ROM Manager through the apk file that I downloaded. But now how do I flash Recovery? The zip file is supposed to be for Recovery, but how do I do it?
Do I need to go into Recovery Mode and then click on the "Re-install Packages" thingy??? If yes, do I need to rename the zip file?
Your help will be greatly appreciated...

you need to flash the recovery through ROM manager....if thats not working its probably because you dont have the premium license for ROM manager downloaded. its used to protect against piracy...........why arent you trying to figure out how to fix your market instead
I did post a thread here but I didnt get much help...
I am not able to log into my Google account or any other Google based service (including Gmail and Google Maps). ROM Manager is also giving some internet error...
I am connected to WiFi and can use internet on my browser. Can do everything in the browser, including logging into Google...
So, if you can provide some help on this issue, that would even be nicer...

There are a few place where its mentioned to remove this folder: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings
Now how can I reach this folder? How can I access the terminal? If there is a separate app for that, which one is a good one and from where can I get it? (Remember I cannot access Android Market...)
Mannnnnnnnnn.......
I am learning a lot of new things since I bought my Vibrant...
So I was finally able to add my Google Account to my Vibrant... The Android Market and other Apps using Google are still not opening on Wifi, its very strange... I can use internet on my browser but the apps are still not able to use Wifi...
I hope I can figure this out as well, with your help...

You can just set your mobile browser to m. sonyericsson .com/ backup without the spaces and then just download and install it. This is what I did and it worked fine. Just make sure you have install third party applications checked in your settings (the installer will make sure you do this). Hope this helps!

i tried that, when i go to the site, the browser downloads an apk file. when i try to install it i get an error: "Application not installed" and i'm sure that install third party applications is checked because i sometimes install my appinventor apps on my phone
to be honest: i'm not gonna buy an application which i halve already as OEM.
is there another way please?

you could go to their website on a computer, manually download the apk there, load it onto your sd card and then try installing it. I actually used sideload wonder machine to install it before I debranded the phone. Once I debranded to R2BA026 I saw it was included in that base ROM as well as in 2.1. Of course the one you get from the site is more current than what is included in the generic 1.6, but when I used Astro to open the newer version it just asked me to upgrade.
Hello!
I rooted my NT (1.4.2 8gb) about one-two weeks ago, but I'm still having problems trying to get apps from the browser. I downloaded the NT Hidden Settings apps and when I finally managed to make the "Unknown Sources" box stay checked by immediately turning off my nt right after clicking on the "Unknown Sources Hack", it didn't make any difference.
This is what happens: I download an .apk off my browser, go to Downloads, then click the download. It'll pop up with a message asking to complete the action using the App Installer or the Package Installer. If I click the App, it'll will say, "Unable to intall. This application was not able to unstall onto your device. Please try "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to start again." If I click Package, it'll say, "Parse error. There is a problem parsing the package."
And it will do this with every .apk except for the one at http:comptonsoft.com/test/ called "AppMenu" which does basically the same thing as NT Hidden Settings. I've tried using ES File Manager, but when I go to the App Manager, the downloaded file isn't there for me to move/backup/fiddle with.
Also, I'm not sure if his is related to the issue at hand, but when I try downloading other apps I know for sure have an android version, it tells me it's incompatible with my device.
Can somebody please let me know how to fix my problem???
Thanks in advance.
You should be using the package installer, not the app installer, based on my experience. The package installer gave me the same results you see.
In 1.4.2 you can't sideload that way but by installing/pushing apps with adb might work. That is why many 16GB NT users prefer going back to 1.4.0 where sideloading is not an issue but the thing is 8GB NT users can only have installed 1.4.2 internally otherwise you will brick your device.

Are you installing from Google Play .

No. I put the .apk file on my phone and tried to install from the phones file manager. I also tried ASTRO but still nothing ...

Then try redownloading the apk file. Maybe download is corrupt or something.
And if possible, use google play
Astro is just root explorer that can be used to explore root files. It doesnt have anything regarding installation of APKs (apps) unless they have to be thrown directly into FS.
I tried to redownload, I also downloaded from another mirror...
I can't download from the store because what I'm trying to install is a full cracked version...
I guess something in ICS doesn't allow the installation of these kinds of APKs...

In the Settings you need to enable installing apps from "unknown sources" if you are sideloading, as opposed to installing from the Market.
thanks for the help, i just tooled around a bit more and just downloaded apks from google drive, and then the tablet has no problem opening them, thanks anyways
