So, went out and picked up a Mini Pro for the misses.
Well, off the bat I went crazy cause I couldn't find "Market" and well...after searching online, guess this damn region doesn't support the Market. How wonderful is that, so downloaded stuff online through slideme. Which really still sucks.
Then when I downloaded things to my laptop and wanted to bluetooth them over, I couldn't. Then when I wanted to send ringtones from my phone to the mini pro, I couldn't. So I searched, and wouldn't you know it. I gotta download a program, so I downloaded bluetooth explorer and then it prompted me that I gotta root this SOB to be able to send files through bluetooth? Did I just buy an iPhone or what?!
So I plugged in the phone through USB. And we copied over the APK. and I downloaded a file explorer, so I could get to the damn APK (really no file explorer included, or clearly apparent?). And when we launched the file (MSN), we found we couldn't send files, images, or anything other than text. Are you kidding me?
With all these limitations, how is Android so popular?
Are there any possible solutions without having to root this bastard? (aside from MSN). I just bought this thing and don't wanna void warranty so damn early so I could make it something PRACTICAL like every other phone.
I'm guessing you're used to nokia's and the like. I must say i've found bluetooth file transfer a little hit and miss on android, but you need an app called bluetooth file transfer but it's on the market i'm afraid. Where are you then? You can get the market app from these forums and an enabler for regions not supported so you may need to do some digging.

Not used to Nokia's. Used to WinMo and running Android Froyo on my Topaz.
Could not find the market standalone app for the life of me. And the phone is from Saudi Arabia, and I can't justify rooting it just yet.
@bmzloum
Hi! I feel your pain. Android Marketplace is not supported in my part of the world too. I am looking for alternate ways to get apps into my phone.
You mentioned that you had to download a separate File Manager to get to the .apk files. Can you tell me which app you are using?
Also how did you manage to install the File Manager in the first place if you could not get to the .apk files?
Do you copy the .apk files to your MicroSD card? Do you any other advice to make installation easier if we download the Apps to our computer then then try to install them to our phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers and good luck with your new phone.
Appbrain App Market and Apktor are viable alternatives for getting apps on your phone, the latter you'll need to find public repositories for. Sorry can't post links cause of restrictions on a new account, but google knows all.

Hey, found
Code:
http://slideme.org/
which let me download with the barcode, and then I installed the sites app manager directly on there. There are a ton of file managers, I downloaded two, I forget which. But the two most popular ones. Both worked, but only one handled ZIP files. I don't have the phone beside me, so can't recall...
I found the Market standalone apk, but it crashed everytime I clicked on "Download" so I gave up on it.
I'm gonna try those suggestions posted up and see if they have a few new nice apps on there.
I had the exact same issue as others above. My solution was to use the debranded UK Firmware, root the phone and then use the Bluetooth File Manager.
bmazloum: My phone also came from the UAE side and didn't have the Market. I used Omnius to flash the firmware. A friend of mine on the otherhand paid the local Sony Service Centre to flash and debrand the ROM. Maybe this might help
Guys you don't have to move the apk file over to the phone in order to install it btw... get Adb from the Android SDK and then place the apk file in the same folder as adb.
And then from command prompt, navigate to the folder with adb and your apk and type "adb install example.apk".
Make sure you have USB Debugging (Applications -> Development) enabled and that's it.
Works nicely on a Mini. Not sure about the Pro to be honest.
So I got a B&N Nook Tablet for Christmas. My family sent it to me from the States, but after playing around with it, it seems the only way this thing is going to be very useful for me is if I can install my VPN on it. As there's no native way to do this, I have been trying to root it following instructions I found on a blog.
Which led me here. I have managed to restore to 1.4.0 (after going through a couple Micro SD cards), but I can't download and/or install the hidden settings app. At first I couldn't access the multiupload site without a VPN (I guess it's blocked here in China), but I then set up my laptop as a wireless access point in the apartment with connection through the VPN, so I can access the site on my Nook, but maybe it's because the connection is so slow, I cannot download anything to the Nook from that site. It simply won't start downloading.
Is there any way around this???
Have you tried downloading to your laptop and transferring the file by usb to the Nook?
Bill
have you tried the sd card method? check my signature. One package, all files you need are there. Just need to access the internet once.
Sorry, I should have mentioned in the original post that I did try to download it on my PC, load it to a Micro SD card, then put the card on the Nook and try to open it. That didn't work, either. The Nook didn't recognize it as a file type that could be read.

hi,you can go there and find everything you want in china
Rooting may have issues in china, due to the pollution etc.

This is because the security flaw that allows access to install non-market apps must be accessed through the browser.

I don't think there's a way to access and change the DNS address on the Nook without rooting it, which gets back to the original problem...

It can be done if he changes the DNS directly in the router so all the devices that get connected to that router will automatically use the new DNS addresses

I'm using my laptop as a router and my laptop is on a VPN, so when I connect to the network on the Nook, it's through the VPN, so accessing the site is not the problem. It's just how unbearably slow it is. The download never begins!
Oh, and FWIW, yes, I have been using Google's open DNS...
Can you "download" it from your computer through the browser?

Quick question:
- are you rooted? If not, you don't need the hidden apps, you can use appmenu.
Try using your nook browser to download/install appmenu.apk from this link:
http://suipre.com/a68291 - courtesy of spoland from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353040
- Use your nook browser, type in the url of the app link and after it downloads select the little icon in the lower left corner of your nook and select the apk and select package installer.
Then try rooting w/ this method.

A nice post. Well, i'm NOT Chinese but right now living in China. I got NOOK Tablet with 1.4.0. As mentioned at the top, its hard to download these apps here in China. These are blocked. and worst thing is that i don't have VPN either. So i have to stuck with available resources. I'm using connectify through my laptop to connect internet with my tablet. However two days ago it stopped and every time when i try to connect, i get the same error DHCP error (Wi-Fi Error 103). I asked one of my lab fellow to root it using local resources and he did it but while exploring it somewhere i pressed some wrong button and it is reset to factory settings. Now it is showing 1.4.1.
I am NOT a geek and specially in China, i am totally helpless without knowing chinese language and without able to access the required stuff from other places. Can someone help me to download these stuff from other place? and can use SD Card to root it by myself without asking chinese friends to help?
i can use limited (within chinese govt. censorship) internet on laptop but certainly now i can't access internet on NOOK Tablet directly. So, can i root it with internet access only on laptop but not directly on tablet? or any way to solve this DHCP issue? as i do used connectify and accessed internet on NOOK Tablet through laptop. Oh and i do bought 32GB (Class 10) SD Card specially for this tablet.
Thanks a lot.

-Hello first of all as you got the 1.4.1 update you need to download the acclaim_update.zip to go back to 1.4.0 from AdamOutler's thread in developing section because you just can't root in 1.4.1. The file is hosted XDA so i think you should not have problem downloading it, once you're done the ∩ button won't work so you need to follow these steps in order to bring it to life.
- Once in 1.4.0 next step will be to root by using Indirect's(recommended) or cfoesch's methods for that you just need internet 1 time to download tgps_launcher.apk the rest you do it in your laptop plugged to your nook. If you fall into issues with drivers or anything check my FAQ (link is in my signature)
I will post 2 video links follow them in order:
1. Bypass registration of Nook Tablet by Albert Wertz
2. FREE How To Root Nook Tablet Step by Step by Albert Wertz of Tabletroms
PS: try if possible in the app or your laptop that you share internet to your tablet somewhere to change the DNS addresses to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 because you need the tgps_launcher

Hi Veronica, thanks for detailed reply.
First of all, i solved the issues of my router. so, now i can connect the NOOK Tablet with internet through router. But again, can't access youtube & some other websites (by default). I've also downloaded acclaim_update.zip & downgraded it to 1.4.0. After successful setup, i immediately disconnected/turn off wifi from the device. But further going to root by using Indirect's method, i again need usbdrivers.zip, tgps_lancher.apk and Nook&Zergy.zip which are not accessible inside china. so again i'm stuck here. is there any other alternative place from where i can download these files? or i can provide shared space on my NAS for that and if you can upload there? (with bundle of thanks)...

Please help i have beanstown build 5 installed with the ad blocker the host file. It has blocked a few of my websites i need for work such as
clickbooth.com
w4.com when you go to login
and maxbounty.com
i am sure this is just a few. I have found host file but i have no idea how to edit this or correct the probelm without just deleting the file which would leave me vulnerable correct?
Can someone help and walk me thru how to correct this issue as i have never dealt with this type of thing before
Thank you very much and it will be appreciated.
I believe you can just delete it. Here is what I did
1. did not install the host file (or you can just delete it)
2. download and install adblock PLUS from adblock developer
3. activate it when I visit a page with lots of ads and turn it off when you need to use those redirect pages

I could delete it but then i will have ads so i do not want to do that.
So call me paranoid, but I have a number of questions on security and log/ user monitoring. A while back I was using my neighbor's network via wifi and long story short I felt almost like my androids apparently were acting funny and since resetting it and using my own 3g network don't seem to have the same issues. I use a LG Phoenix I got new in late 2011. What are some foreign hacking files to look for? I found a file with es file explorer named monkey... long story short what are some log and user monitoring apks that let me see foreign controllers changes and information logs and if my data is going anywhere I can see where its going, and lets me fully secure my phone. Please even if I have to delete factory files my phone is rooted and I use es file explorer not much of a hacker for now. Please understand. Also is there a way to save directly to my Google Drive? Maybe even run apps with data via gdrive? What are some things to check if a hacker added programs to my phone what are some files apks etc to look for thanks. What I meant about downloads is changing my android download directory path to directly automatically by default download to my gdrive cloud, if there's a way please share. Thank You.
Hi everyone!
im just new here.
I would like to ask for your help about an app called Http Injector. we use this in our country (Philippines)
to access internet via vpn for free.
to use this app, you have to register to sites that offers free ssh acount such as createssh.com, then create a payload (which has to be a freesite from our isp) and a remote proxy. then we you are connected, you can create a config file ( with an extention ".ehi") and share it to others.
the problem is, some .ehi files that is being shared are locked to prevent others to copy their config.
I hope you can help me sniff through these locked .ehi files guys...
thanks and more power.

Hello to all
it would be very useful if it is possible to:
When connected to WIFI, HTTP injector service stops
When connected to any mobile network and not connected to WIFI, service auto starts
also it is annoying that when rebooting phone i have to manually start the service
anyway to avoid that?
thanks
