A tip to install apps on Androids using a PC - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends, I got a tip to install APK files on Android media using the Cydia Impactor. I used Cydia Impactor which downloaded from Cydiaguru.com and then navigated to the Cydia Impactor page. All the Android APK files are able to install using the sideloading process. My Samsung Galaxy S6 installed multiple apps using this method.

[Q] Installing .apk from PC with USB

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.
www. Connectify. me
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
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

I did not create Impactor nor Snappea, I just managed to figure out Impactor works to obtain root on this device and many others
ALL credit for Cydia Impactor tool belongs only to its developer Saurik

Make SURE you have USB DEBUGGING turned on
Next, you will need suitable drivers, there is a way to install drivers elsewhere but a much quicker way is to go to www.Snappea.com and install this program on your PC, it is just a program that allows your phone to better interact with your PC but the bonus is that it can install generic drivers (including that much needed ADB driver) for almost any device! Once snappea is installed simply connect your phone to your PC when Snappea prompts you to.
Finally go here:
http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
Download Impactor and unzip the file, once unzipped simply open the Impactor folder and double click the Impactor Application. This will pop up a box that says Cydia Impactor at top on your screen. You should see a drop down menu that currently says "# drop SuperSU su into /system/xbin/su". Make sure that command is showing in the drop down box and press the start button on the right side.
Once this completes you will just need to download your favorite Superuser or SuperSU app onto your device then update binary and you are rooted!
Good luck!!

Yes... Just use Cydia Impactor. I've used it to root a couple devices now, including the L9 MS769. It's an incredibly easy root method to use. Plus it doesn't install a foreign superuser app and it doesn't have any spyware.
Download the Cydia Impactor tool to your pc from the Cydia Impactor website. Extract the zip to a new folder on your desktop. Connect your L9 to your PC with USB debugging enabled and open the extracted cydia folder and click on and run the Impactor.exe, when the Impactor tool opens just click on the start button. Cydia will root your phone in like 5 to 10 seconds.
Download SuperSU from the play store, install and done.

Thank you so much. This worked for me too. I was able to remove bloat apps with Titanium Backup free version.
Will this work for MetroPCS version of the same model ?

I tried to run cydia on my ****ty laptop running vista and it said "not a valid Win32 application"
The reason i tried cydia is because my LG Optimus L9 P76920h just kept rebooting every time i hit "root me" on LGPwn......any ideas? ...and i do have spritebud
Worked great
Just used it on my L9 running P76920h. Worked like a charm, thanks for the tip, and thanks to Saurik for the Cydia Impactor!

[Q] Estar Grand HD 10.1

Hello I'm unable to root my android tablet Estar Grand HD, I already tryd most of the apps out there and also I don't have a computer.
If any one can help with this problem post down below, thanks.
Any recommendations for this device?
The only way to root an estar tablet is..
I bought estar grand hd 10.1 before four months. Unfortunately, when i was try to install few of apps from PlayStore, all the apps are saved in internalstorage and i hanent way to transfer my apps to sd. I think that the only way to root your estar tablet is kingo root. After download, run the file as administrator, connect your tablet with pc via usb cable and follow a few very easy steps. If your device is rooted succesfully, it reboot automatically. After root, you must install supersu and link2sd from PlayStore.
I think I helped
Can anyone tell me if eStar Grand HD Quad Core can be updated to android 5?
try kingroot it roots the device but it doesn't always work

Micromax Unite 3 Root Methods

I have a Micromax Unite 3. I tried the Kingoroot and was unsuccessful in rooting my phone. Next step is to try the desktop version of Kingoroot, but my computer is a mac, and so I need to borrow a PC. That's easier said than done...I live in a semi-remote rural area. A friend of mine has a PC laptop but it's old and buggy. Also my internet connection here is unreliable and so before finding a better PC and stronger internet connection to try this I wanted to ask:
Does anyone have a Unite 3 that they successfully rooted? If so, please share the method you used!!
P.S. any info on upgrading to Android Marshmallow is also welcome.
The only method so far known to root unite 3 is with KingRoot app. What you have mentioned is kingoroot which is a different from the KingRoot. KingRoot easily rootes your device. All the rooted unite 3 users have done this with the KingRoot app. Download the apk file which is easily available at many places on internet, XDA forum also. On launching app it requires net connection on the phone as it employs various hacks from its server.
Go for it. It is very easy.
Here is the app you want. Download the file on the phone and open it, then it gets installed. Launch it with phone's data connection on.
