Download and use a program called Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine. It's a one click solution, works amazingly on the Captivate and requires no hassle. The program claims to work on un-rooted phones (though mine is rooted).My girlfriend's Captivate is not rooted though so I will test this out on her phone as well to confirm it. Check it out though. I've already gone to town with this and it works great.

Cyanogen-6, but some people are having trouble flashing it. Will this be a problem, I have root experience with the Hero and custom ROM's but I never heard anything about NAND unlock on the hero.

-I cannot reboot Bootstrap
-Root Explorer and Barnacle do not work
-I still have the Superuser app, but it does not seem to be working
If I am correct that I lost root, I would like to try the Droid2 method
I have downloaded the SDK and the Moto drivers. I am in PC Mode with USB debugging enabled
My problem is when I get to this line C:android-sdk-window ools> and try adb devices, it says List of devices attached.
That is it. Nothing seems to be attached. If anyone can figure out what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it. I know I shouldn't be the first to jump on new roms and leaks, but you have to learn sometime right?
Recently I soft bricked my Arc S.It was Rooted and Bootloader unlocked. Running well so I got bored and tried to load a custom rom. Failed! Not worried tried to reflash. Failed!Sent it off to an IT store they were able to get it up and running. On 4.1.b.0.431.BUT now no matter what rooting tool or method I try I can't root it. Bootloader says unlocked.
Tried Doomlords toolkit And 3 others ways.... nothing...Should I try lock the Bootloader again? Or Reflash the whole phone again?? (which I am no good at hence the whole problem)

After that I installed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675957
After that I did the app2sd method and that's where my issue started.
Basically followed it step by step and now my phone just sits at HTC quietly brilliant and every 30 seconds it goes black and back to the white screen.
Does the unrevoked method of rooting allow you to use Setcpu on the EVO?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was thinking about rooting with the droid 2 method. After that I'm unclear what is the safest method.
1. Run Titanium backup
2. Koush's bootstrap recovery
3. install rom manager
4. flash a theme (which is the main reason i want root)
Is that my safest, most recoverable (is that a word) method? Or what should i do after root to be the most safe from bricking my phone?
I am using LG Optimus Vu P895 with V10c FW and its rootable with Root with Restore Bin4ry version 17 or 18, but now I got the phone upgraded to V10c over OTA (or KDZ file) and my phone is no more rootable by that method. I tried to run the tool as I did before but it ended very soon and the phone didn't restart as expected, maybe LG fixed the exploit to root this phone. How to root it after upgrading to V10c?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the thread that has a guide to rooting with unrevoked 3 it states that you should have a 2gig available on the sd card, but also states if you have less than 4 gigs available you must format. Is it ok then to format the card if its only 2gigs to being with and root it that way? Sorry sounds confusing, I'm just wondering if 2gigs is enough.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a Helper class to display Toasts in my android app, as follows.
CODE:................
My code is based on the example at: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html
My problem is, when I try to inflate the view, I can't call findViewById without the View from the activity I am calling toastAlert in. Is there a way I can access that view?
I have a background service component which is reacting to changes in network connectivity. I would like to alert the user that a a connectivity change event has occurred by popping up a Toast View on the device screen. Is this possible ? Can it be done even though a Service component does not have a UI associated with it ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just came across this WhatsApp widget for Root which is able to display recent messages. I was wondering how the developers managed to get the data from WhatsApp.
As of now, I can think of three possible ways:
a) The widget refreshes its contents whenever it detects activity on the WhatsApp message database.
b) The widget "hooks" methods that get called in one of WhatsApps activities when new messages arrive and mirrors the messages into its own database.
c) The widget listens for push messages with the WhatsApp signature or listens for traffic between WhatsApp and their servers.
I use the termin "hooking" because of the way iOS tweaks are written, I have no idea if this is possible on Android. Which way is more likely?
Let me elaborate on the background of my question: I noticed that WhatsApp groups new messages as a single item in the notification window. I'm thinking about selling my iPhone and getting an Android phone, but I would like to have a preview of all incoming messages like iOS's notification center.
Before I ask I did search and found a bunch of different techniques for installing non-market apps. I haven't tried any, but wanted to find the easiest/newest method.I have files on my computer and I was going to use drop box to transfer them to my phone.When I open the files in drop box it gives me the "for security, your phone is set to block."What is the easiest method to fix this? I am planning to root, but I just got the phone today so I want to get a handle on it first.

View 4 Replies View RelatedYesterday before rooting my phone i bought DocsToGo 2.0. After buying the software (Last Night) I rooted my phone. I installed the stock sprint rom but with root access. Since then I went to market place and tried to re-download docstogo paid version but I can't find it on the market. I see the free version and I dl that but it comes back and tell me that i need to buy the full version. I am using the same email address that was used when purchasing the app. Does anyone know why I can not see a paid version of DocToGo. Also, I searched for logmein (free) and can't find that app as well.

I rooted it because everyone said it would be better, however, how is limited access better? Did I do something wrong?
I can't download anything that has to do with samsung and I can't even download the samsung app store.
Alright so I just downloaded the Froyo OTA update.I don't want to do anything too crazy with my phone, however there are a couple of things I would like to change.
1. Delete HTC lock screen, I read if you delete the htclockscreen.apk it will just use the standard "vanilla" froyo one
2. Delete all of the bloatware apps (Sprint Nav, TV, Zone, Nascar, Football, etc)
3. Wifi Tether
Will I be able to do this with just root or do I need a custom ROM? I have read through XDA and on here but I am in over my head. I'm used to jailbreaking iPhones in one step or just installing Preware.I really don't want to have to reset my phone since I have finally got it set up and looking the way I like.Can someone point me in the direction of what I need to do (unrevoked?) to enable the three things I listed? Because I am lost with rooting and unlocking nand and custom ROMs and kernels.Is it even possible to root the OTA right now, or do I need to wait?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way of moving whole apps to SD without rooting?
I've recently picked up a 16GB SD card, but I can't move whole applications to the SD Card.
Rooting or forcing apps to SD card is looking more and more likely. Especially when T-Mobile are yet to release the correct 2.2 update.
Im am wanting to delete all the sprint apps without rooting(I dont think I can root my phone yet because I just bought it).
I have read that Root Explorer can take the apps off, but I havnt seen anything definite about deleting the apps if im NOT rooted.
I am rooting my desire on weds, i have done a backup of everything using mybackup pro. I will also do a complete copy of my sd card before rooting. I know i can restore my paid for apps using the backups, but will the market still authenticate my purchases when an update is available or will i encounter problems??? I have read about the "fingerprint" but not much for the desire. I just dont want to lose the apps i paid good money for (albeit not a lot )

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am wondering what actually happens with all the apps and widgets that come with Sense UI. I assume none of them will work anymore once the Desire is rooted? Or will they stay and still be useable? Can you download them somewhere again from HTC for example and install on a rooted device?
I heard of custom Roms that will let you root the device and still use some HTC apps. Is that correct or is there no such thing?
Finally, a question that might be a bit of speculation currently. With HTC introducing the new www.htcsense.com website with features such as SMS backup for life, contact editing, app shop, etc.... some of the stuff like the SMS backup sound very interesting but now I am wondering if these features will be available for rooted devices. Anybody has any ideas about that?
Would be kind of unfair if rooted devices could not use this HTC service.
