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.
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
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.
Hey all XDA users.
I hope you can help me out!
I am starting to develop my own custyom roms. I am a noob on this, but day by day, I get more aquainted with the Android system.
I found a new challenge. I got myself a TizzBird F10 "Smart TV box". It is an Android media player with no space for a harddrive.
TizzBird Web Site
OTA Update ZIP file (unpack and rename to zip or gz
It has only 4 USB host slots, a SD card slot, 10/100 wired nic. I succesfully connected my Wireless N adapter from my popcorn hour.
The android system is 2.3.3 (for now) but it is upgradeable to 2.3.5 using OTA firmware.
My first goal is to try to get root access.
The thing does not have an USB slave connection, so i can't get ADB access. Is there any way to get root access another way? Maybe through ADB over TCP?
Or before I try to brick my device... is it possible to modify the OTA update? I downloaded the 2.3.5 OTA update from their website, and I can see the android structure within the ROM using winrar or 7zip.
Maybe it is possible to zergRush the system from within? Have SuperUser added to the OTA? Busybox etc.
Sure, I can just "copy" those APKs and tools into the .gz file, but would it help when I flash that modified file?
My ultimate goal is to get my google account working so I can get access to Google Music, since the device has not been licensed to use the Android market...
Thanks in advance or ideas you may have.
Update:
For now I have installed the following.
Android Market
GMail
Google Services Framework
Google Music
All works well, exept for acually playing the google music. It loads the albums, but hangs at pressing "play".
I use poweramp as my musicplayer,it's the best there is, on my F30,
Could I ask where you bought it ?
Did you just use an adapter converter for north american power plugs ?
I found this link to buy it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Valueplus-T...ultDomain_0&hash=item3a706e8b4b#ht_8980wt_905
But it is clearly written;
All of our products are customized for Korean electric environment.
In Korea, we use 220 Voltage and Type C plug.
Some products has a adapter and in that case, they support Free Voltage and Type C plug.
Please pay attention to this point.
I'm in Canada.
Thanks.
I'm interested in the OS of the TizzBird.
The one on the F30 and the new N1 stick.
It's a beautiful UI/UX which would go great on Tablets, especially when connected to a large TV.
If you can provide the Launcher and other Apps from it, would sweet.
Here's a demo:

Did you get root access?
May I ask you how to do it?
Or can you give me some links to get a better unterstanding of how to modify the original firmware to my own needs?
Here is some dude that made custom firmware for the F10 and F20 (=F30 without the hard disk)

Hi everybody.
Many years since I have been on XDA Developers. I recently got given a Sony Tablet S and, in my search for info, ended up here. Great tosee the forum is still great and very useful.
I am from the UK and rooted my tablet yesterday (using methods and SW found here) in order to upgrade to ICS. All went smoothly but I have noticed that I am unable to use the infra red functions on my Toshiba TV and Sky Satellite box after rooting and upgrading. They worked fine before.
Would this be anything to do with changing region?
My world will not end as a result of no longer being able to control my TV and satellite with my tablet. Just curious as to why.
Anyone with explanations or a possible fix, I would appreciate some advice.
Also - and this may just be me - I noticed that if you plug a USB device in or insert the SD card, it creates a folder in the Storage directory which is empty but cannot be deleted. So I currently have sdcard, sdcard1 and sdcard2 and usbdisk1 - usbdisk8. Is there any way to remove these as when I try to delete using File Manager HD, it says no.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I cant give u answer on all but it have two things
First : i hope u did not do a gegion chance while running ics i hope. Strangely enough i thought device should brick but idunno if its supported already
Second : there should be an option to accept root browsing and changing try "Root Explorer" the blue app you can change things if you want. Dont know how much you can adjust change delete etc. Didnt tryed all ofcourse and i think your regular internal sd can not be changed. Permissions for example.

I'm changing my device region all the time, now I've got sony tablet P region lol
About thread/problem name 'Remote Control Not working after Rooting for ICS Upgrade' - what root has to do with remote control?
If you don't want to have it, then you can reflash your device with stock ICS zip without any mod, root etc. Remember that its 'one-way-ticket'.
Maybe tomorrow I will check xda forum, and will find a thread about 'I used AiO tool, my leg does not bend to the end'.
OK so, the point is that most probably its an ICS issue.
I've got not-US region device, got ICS on it,
and remote control works just fine!
Start with wiping device, then check, then if its not good for you,
then you can still downgrade your device, back to 3.2.1.
(more info about downgrade in AiO thread - FAQ section).

Maybe tomorrow I will check xda forum, and will find a thread about 'I used AiO tool, my leg does not bend to the end'.
HAHAHAHA lol xD
Thanks for the advice people.
Condi, thanks for taking the time to read and advise - It was your tool I used to root my tablet in the first place so that I could upgrade to ICS.
I think the point of my post may have got lost in translation a little. All I was saying was that before rooting and upgrading, I/R remote was working on my TV and Satellite receiver and after rooting and upgrading, it no longer does.
I just wondered whether the connection was known or obvious. I presume once Sony officially launch ICS in the UK, we will know!
Thx again

Thank you for the reply, some questions:
1. So, yours is also a Chinese version?
2. Please post the link for rooting.
3. After rooting, install the GApp, version for 4.2.2? And then we can go for anything, like Nova launcher?

When the phone reboot, after you renamed the file, gapps are automatically installed by the phone.. You don't have to use recovery mode at all !!
And for now, i'm not sure that CWM is available for this model... I think i saw it on a chinese forum but when i translate it's too messy and i have to be registered on this forum to download it so... we have to wait that someone make a post here in english with th e CWM in download...

Okay, I see the point, we just install portions of Google apps we need, starting with play store, the any thing you need.
I do hope we'll have CWM, or at least hardware ways to boot into download and recovery mode.
The KitKat may be far from reality?

We'll get Kikat firmware on this phone for sure, we just have to wait from Huawei to rolling out this version.
It's not portions of google apps as when you do this procedure i explained, ALL the gapps are installed automatically on the phone.
Basically, Huawei made a script in the phone for not allowing these apps to be installed, but when you rename this file, the script is no longer available, then all the gapps are installing after the next reboot !
Mediapad X1 7D-503L
The only deference is the directory:
/ cust / channel / charm_china_l / xml / ( charm_china_l not charm_china_u)
and i use the command as su
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /cust
because when It try to rename the UNSTALL_APK.XML I take the error "Read-only file system"
thanks
X1 undetectable by the PC
I have GApps Syncing quite fine without rooting, except the contacts sync which is missing from the sync list. I see your steps are very straight forward, but unfortunately my X1 is not recognized by the PC, although I've installed HiSuite from Huawei website. I've also tried to install Huawei device driver for X1 from this site, but still unrecognized. Accordingly GeniusRoot is unable to detect and root my X1.
I'm Win 8.1 (both 32 and 64 bits), and I've tried to do all these procedures with Compatibility model for Win7, run as administrator, yet the X1 is till not detected by the PC.
Also USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options.
Any idea what's the reason for this?
More info about my version:
Baseband: 21.529.00.00.000

OK I managed to figure out the solution
Used Root File Manager to rename and voila!! Renamed the file, restart device and got all the Google stuff setup on the phone
Now there is this second problem which is a big pain in the arse
I can't add a second Google account on the phone to get all my contacts..........
Under settings -> accounts -> add account -- there is no option to select "Google" !!!!
Have anyone also face this problem and is there any solution??
Thanks in advance for the help
Guys, you do not need root or tricks to install Google stuff.
Open the Huawei app market. Search for Google. Click on the big Google banner at the top of the page. You get a dedicated page of Google stuff. There you have download links for play store, all the Google apps, and if you can figure out a little Chinese, calendar sync and contact sync software too.

I can confirm this is true. I did a search for "gms" rather than Google - tap on the big link you get at the top of the results page, which takes you to a page of all the Google apps and services, and install everything! (You can always uninstall what you don't need later). No root required, and everything is syncing properly - calendar, contacts, tasks etc. Super easy.

Danny here's how to fix it, and u don't need root
if u have rooted and edited the unstall_apk.xml, best is download and flash the stock ROM first:
http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=20241 (click 立即下载 on the right)
u can also ignore it but all preinstalled google apps will become system apps, and if u've deleted some huawei bloatware u might not be able to OTA update latest B006 firmware
All the Google stuff can work perfectly even can add multiple Google accounts. Best thing is, u don't need root. Here's how:
1) Go to app centre - all - brand and look for the one with 谷歌 (sorry I've updated app centre and it might be different if u haven't update)
2) Download 联系人同步服务, 日历同步服务, Google Playstore, Gmail and Google plus. The rest can be downloaded from playstore
3) After install, open either playstore or gmail and sign in
At this stage, Google is already setup properly with contacts sync just it cannot add multiple Google accounts. Workaround:
4) Open Google plus. Settings - add account
And voila. The phone is perfect now
There's also an OTA update for the LTE version which updates your phone firmware to 7D-503LV100R001C233B006
