So I Downloaded An App From A Random Web Site, And It Wont Let Me Install It, I Get This Error MSG...
"For Security Your Phone Is Set To Block Installation Of Applications Not Sourced In Android Market"
Ive Looked All Over My Phone For A Way To Change This Setting But For The Life Of Me I Cant Get It To Allow, PLZ Help, Its Frustrating As Hell.
Hi
If you go to Settings>Applications> Unknown Sources
You can change it here.
Same happened to me when I purchased a game, just changed the option back after it had installed.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I Don't Have That Option, =(
Settings>Applications> all i get is "Manage applications" or "Development"
Under Development There Is An Option Marked "Allow Mock Locations"
But After I Click It, It Has Absolutely No Effect On My Phone In Any Way As Far As I Can Tell...
My Phone Is Un-Touched Besides A Few Downloaded Apps N Games, But Every time I Consider Rooting Or Whatever I Look Into It, I Get So Lost, Confused, Turned Around I Lose Nerve lol

Might be best saving your bandwidth for 2.1 then. Debranding would probably help but you might as well just wait.
Thanks boss, its just frustrating but i appreciate the help bro.
If you root your AT&T X10a you can use the method for the captivateto re-enable non-market apps. The location for the settings.db file is slightly different than the ccaptivate though. I created a thread about it. Search for ATT non-market.

Ya But The Whole Root Thing Gets Me So Lost, Ive Been Searching XDA + Google + Every Other Tech Site I Can Find And Ive Literally Read Every Thread On Rooting/De Branding/ECT. For The Past 3 Days Ive Had Off Work, And I Still Would Have Better Luck Doing Open Heart Surgery I Know Its Simple But For Some Reason I Just Cannot Follow, =(

To root, dl x10 root and adb push it onto your phone, instructions are in the sdk you dl, then run the root app and you should be good

So Wats The Deal W The Whole Rom Thing? And Why Are Some Rooting apk's Small Ans Some Are Huge, N Which Is The Correct Way To Approach It?
No root necessary but debrand is required.
You can thank AT&T for limiting your device's ability to function.
Isn't it nice to pay huge fees and get your content edited?
I know, I'm on AT&T also.

So Debrand Is Wat I Need? And How Did U Debrand Ur x10a, And How Do I Find Out If My X10a Is "R2BA026"?
I have done both methods and rooting has worked out better for me. Better performance and better battery life. Also, as I said, you can easily re-enable non-market apps. AT&T is a newer OS build than all the others. Once you remove all the bloatware the phone is much faster.
If you really want to get the most from your phone, learning to use adb is important. If you concentrate on getting adb working, it will make all the other hacks easier to understand.

You have to use ADB from your PC to install this apk and then you can run it to root your phone. You can try Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine but a few people have been having trouble getting it to work. It works for me with my AT&T X10 just fine though. When you run this app it will allow you to select the .apk file and then install it to the phone.
AT&T has blocked all non-market app downloads but you can definitely bypass this setting. I was successfully able to install non-market app by the ADB method as Naplesbill suggested. You will have to download the android sdk and familiarize yourself with ADB. This can take some time, but well worth it!
See this handy post on how to do so:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
An issue that came up for me is that the device id doesn't get recognized by your computer. I got it to work by installing the SE update service on my computer and followed the steps to update the software on the phone. This step will install a SE Flash Driver on your computer. I restarted my computer and somehow it worked.
I then followed the adb install method and got non-market apps installed without rooting it. If you want to root, you can use the adb method to install the one click root and then you are done. However, rooting you AT&T device does not automatically allow you to install non-market apps. It will still be blocked!!! You have to adjust systems.db settings in order it to change it. That's the step I'm at right now. Going to do it after work tonight.
Hi all
I've recently updated my A101 to 2.3.20 and now its constantly complaining about having low device storage desipite the fact that I've cleared 30 Meg and have very few apps installed. Consequently I can't install any apps.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
cheers,
Toyface
1) Reset your Archos and install 2.3.20 once again.
2) If that doesnt work, contact Archos.
3) Wait until Urukdroid 1.0 (should be released in 1-2 weeks)
Hope i could help you
Thanks for the help, I might just have to do that, I could set up swap whilsts I'm at it, I'll play with it later to see if there's anything that might trigger it, trying to install read it later is not happening for me you see.
Now just need to find some none root backup apps...

I googled a long time and found this app:
http://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.AppBackupReinstall
I think it dont need root... you have to test it^^
Ps.: Pushing "Thanks" dont hurt
I've sent you a thanks through.
The infamous appbackup by Nicky Cho, I've been using it a long time on my phone it doesn't save data or anything just the apk, great for sending apps from your phone to the tab that you can't get.

Okey, thanks
thats cool
okey problem solved!
I want to back-up some things--mainly the wife's angry birds stats. Trouble is that every post I read talks about loading things using the market after the tablet is ROMmed.
I've tried putting superuser on manually but it doesn't seem to recognize root explorer. All this after following the root instructions found here.
Angrybirds backup, superuser ... is not available in the gtab market (hadango) found on the device when stock. AppBrain doesn't seem to have any way to get the appbrain app onto the tablet.
I need advice on how to get apps on the tablet or to get superuser to recognize root explorer, or perhaps just how to get angrybirds backed up.
I use titanium backup or mybackup root!

Respectfully, what you use isn't the question really. If I can't get superuser to work with it then I'm still stuck.
So to restate here, I need a way to get these apps onto the tab before its rommed, or to make superuser to work.
honestly, I thought my wife would freak when I lost all of her angry birds saves, but she said it was "fun" to have to do it all again.
For superuser:
Install ES File Explorer from market
Use ES to install Z4root from xda
Run Z4root to root tab
Test root using Root Explorer
For backup:
Install Titanium
Perform backup of User Apps
Flash ROM
Install Titanium
Restore User Apps backups

You can trust the link. Lots of good info there.
If you are on a stock rom, you are not rooted (unless have you used something like Z4 to root it). All custom roms are already rooted for you. Anytime you nvflash back to stock you will not be rooted.

Well I remember looking for an answer to root and finding several places saying that I would have root after following those instructions. I guess I let my experience with rooting got in the way of understanding. That or nobody thought to mention that you don't need root to load a new recovery image or a ROM.
z4root it is. Thank you for your time and attention to my small problem.

No problem. It's all a learning experience. I knew absolutely nothing about android 3 months ago. When installing signed zips (which is what you install via recovery or cwm, the install scripts set permissions to perform the installations. Nvflash, also has root access. It' only you the user that doesn't have it when android boots on the stock rom.
Android is a big learning experience. There are no manuals and the only place this all exists is either in a post somewhere or in our minds. What 'goodintentions' did by creating the dummies site was try to make it as much a one stop shop as possible for new (and old) users to get the most out of their gTabs, but, there is just so much and each rom has different nuances that it's not possible to put everything there. Especially since he alone is footing the bill to keep the site going.
You also have to remember that not everyone is an expert and we all benefit by putting our collective minds together and helping each other. What one person doesn't remember another user may & hopefully help out. Just as hopefully you can do the same to someone else with your experieces.
Anyway, didn't mean to preach...time to get off the soapbox. Hopefully you can now do what you set out to do & if you need more info, feel free to post again.

Yea, well so much for z4root. It does do a good job of restarting the tab though.

Are you saying it didn't work? I used it on my gTab & Cruz Reader without problems. It's really simple. Install, single butten press & it will reboot. Where did you download from? How do you know it didn't work? After install/button press/reboot, open Terminal Emulator, type su & return. Does it respond with a # prompt...if so you have root access.

I have a cell phone - Onix, Android version 5.0, model number AAP453G-1015
It has a very nasty trojan on it, which I can't get rid of with anything, including Malwarebytes, and various 'stubborn trojan remover apps' downloaded from Google Play Store.
Nothing works.
A Malwarebytes scan says 'your device has issues', then when I select 'fix now' it shows the problem, being ..
Android/Trojan.Spy.Agent.el
/system/app/OP_GoogleSearch/OP_GoogleSearch.apk
Then when I confirm I want to delete the item, the only thing that comes up is
'do you want to uninstall this app?'
Selecting yes results in 'Uninstall 'Unsuccessful'
I have done a factory re-set three times, and every time, it is still there. I have removed the SD card, changed sim card .. all to no avail.
I have been around various forums and they directed me here. Hope I'm in the right place / thread.
Thank you for any assistance.
Are you rooted? You can only remove that app if you have root.

Hello, thanks for the reply.
I have no idea what 'rooted' or 'have root' means.
Please advise.
I'm a bit of a noobie but I do learn quickly.
Thanks

Thanks. I found 'Kingo Android Root'. That allowed me to take full control of my phone and kill the trojans.
Hi, I would be grateful if someone could help me root and install a custom rom on this device. Please refer to the 3 images showing detailed information about my tablet.
Thank you very much for your help.
hey did you ever get this rooted?
Hi guys. I am also very much interested in root for this device. If we manage root on this it will become extremely useful. Please lets keep the thread active. II havent been in this forum for a while now as I didnt have an android device since I sold my Note 5.
I suggest we contact any of the forum members who are advanced in these matters to assist us with the root for Overdyve.
I'm Interested as Well
I'm going to try to dive in and see if I can figure out rooting my Overdryve. Since they don't seem to sell too many of these, I think we'll have to figure out how to do this without a nifty app. If anyone has any thoughts/pointers/useful articles, perhaps they'd share them.

I agree with you 100%. We really need to stick together on this and help each other out noting that these devices are very few. In the event we are unable to root the device is there any other way of enabling Google Play Services without requiring root? If I can get support for the Google services I will be good to go. Currently most of Google apps are not supported. Thankfully Google Maps works as I absolutely needed this to work as the Rand navigation software is not located in my country. I bought this to use away from USA and so far the most disappointing issue is that Rand disabled support for Google apps.
I will read widely and support you where I can.
I bought the Overdryve 7 a few days ago and there is literally NOTHING out there to help Root it, install a custom recovery, or how to install Google Play Services. I have tried rooting it with KingoRoot and King Root but to no avail. I haven't resorted to such generic methods to root anything since Towel root. This is why TWRP is essential to have.
Bump :fingers-crossed:
Edit: Please delete. Wrong thread.
Still nothing new
I have the Overdryve 7, and 8 Pro... hoping that someone out there much smarter than I has been working on this. Eager to make these thing earn their cost back.

overdryve 8 pro, been rooted for a while now, but Id like to get the OTA updates that ive missed over the last year, and i keep hitting a snag on the OTA verifier...
/system/bin/install-recovery.sh has ben modified... sha1 doesnt match...
there was another file too, but when I rooted, SU made a backup of the other file so i just switched it and it passed SHA1 check.... but SU didnt take a copy of this file for back up...
any ideas? ive tried changing it to a .bak but then fails becuase file is missing....
anyone have a stock 8 pro, unrooted ever, that they can turn on just USB debugging and try to copy the file original file out for me thru ADB debug if possible?
Or anyone know the ile contents for that file on Android 5.1.1 build LMY49I/N8_1_0_170516_275
I wanted up load more detailed specs.... I also have the new OTA update zip, like I said it just goes too error tho because the install-recovery.sh file sha1 doesn't match because I have rooted, and SU remove root and factory reset do not return the original file
Oops file is here

Has anyone figured out how to install Google play services and play store. I got as far as getting an early version of Google store to work without crashing but now it says it can't connect to the Google servers. Oh well something's gotta work.

Anyone able too get into Fastboot on this?
I can see the option and select it from the Engineering Menu, but the decice just sits on the RM logo then reboots normally.
There must be a key combo like too enter the Recovery Menu, but I cant figure it out.
Anyone?
Would someone be able to upload the stock launcher, please? I managed to root and build a custom recovery for my TND740, wanted to try it out.
