Here is the case:
As we know, after editing a software, we need to sign for it just in order to use it. I figured how to edit softwares so that it wont be killed by the system when running background. When testing in Android 2.3.5, with sense 3.5, everything goes smoothly. (I need to simply explain how the installation thing works just so it makes sense. I install the edited version first, move it to system/app, for it requires to be a system app to run the part of code. Then I reboot, and reinstall the original version. [Here is why: This app is an IM app, which means it requires internet connection to the online server, but it also automatically check the signature. If the signature is not the same as the known one, it will not allow me to connect to the server, which makes the app useless.] After this step, the checking mechanism would be tricked. However, in android 4.0, here comes the problem. I CANNOT INSTALL THE SAME APP WITH DIFFERENT SIGNATURE TWICE. The cheating mechanism will not work if I cannot install it twice. This is the biggest problem I am facing right now. Can you guys help me. Thanks a lot.
Um..Is this question that difficult..I mean, it requires to go over the signature checking mechanism of the phone. I really dont know what part of code in the rom this part belongs to, otherwise I can try it myself... And, I do think there is someone solved this question in previous roms like sense 3.5 or sense 3.0, etc, for there were people asking this kind of question...Although their answer is not helpful at all...
sign the zip yourself if toggling permissions in recovery wont work.
you can incorporate just about anything you wont into an image so long as you either change the permission, sign it yourself, or force the update via adb

I do have signed it, but the signature of the original app is different, and android 4.0 doesnt allow me to replace the same app which has a different signature...
have you tried incorporating the app into the rom before you flash it?

I have rooted my EVo with auto root , so i didnt need to do much there., that was about 2 years ago., my roommate have an evo but seems that its newer than what i have.
when you go to bootloader has a lock and bootloader is 2.18..
i was able to unlock it , went to HTC site ... the instructions how it needs to be done ., so all good.
then you need to load some files run them all the way till these steps and iam stuck , just about the end
when you need to download the file super user from the market , which i did ., the it says after you install it
search busy ?????
and use one of the busy box installers and install busy box ...?
i dont know what busy means and where to find it., when i run the super user i dont see something or things called busy ., or to search for that ., can someone help here please
Yep its to install busybox. It allows Unix commands to be used on the phone, and also helps other rooted apps run a little easier with it.

here is the llink for the busybox installer from the android market: BusyBox try using that and see if it does what you need it to.
Ok great thsnk you , so what are the steps , I download it then what and how to work it, with supper user and the file I downloaded

Just download and install. Run, allow it with SU, and hit install and it does its thing, then your golden. It just needs the files stored in the phone. Occasionally you update it but only one in a great while.

Thank you again ., I did that , but the phone still can't do tethering or wifi , gives me the message I need to call sprint ..., I got all the files all instructions understood, except these at the end . Still.no root

First, I hope you have a custom recovery installed. Just in case you do not, I've attached one.
Second, you need to flash from RECOVERY (not download from the market) the superuser.zip file (not the app from the market). You need to place that on the root of your SD card (do not unzip it).
IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED:
Place the recovery file in the folder where you have your adb commands. Open the command prompt from that folder, boot your phone into FASTBOOT USB (click on FASTBOOT from the bootloader) and connect it to your computer. Then type at the command prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <ENTER>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <ENTER>
Then hit the power button.
ONCE YOU HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED:
Boot into your bootloader (power off the phone then hold volume down + power buttons at the same time if you are in the phone's operating system) and go to RECOVERY. Flash the superuser.zip file from your SD card, then reboot back into your phone's operating system to see if that works.
Also,
to tether, you need a ROM with the hotspot already hacked, or use the wireless tether app that I also attached.
You can place it on your SD card, then install it from your phone's operating system with any file manager like astro, which you can find from the market.
or,
you can place the app in the same folder where you have your adb commands, open the command prompt from that folder, have your phone connected to your computer, then type at the prompt
adb install wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk
when i try to install the wi fi ., it says program not installed ?., is that because i cant get it rooted right .??

No.
Ok sorry, I see that app does not work with the file managers. The easiest way is to run the adb command that I posted above with the file inside the same folder as your adb files. Another way is to try this attached app with the file managers instead.
Also, how are you doing with the superuser?
No go still clear iam not doing ok., the recovery image i didnt reinstall since i can go to recovery ...the menu..etc , so i think iam set there ., i installed the efghi super user file on card and reinstalled and done .. reboot evo all ok., went to market downloaded busy box , and superuser app.
both installed , go to super user and to preferences , then su binary ,hit update all green ....
i hook up phone cable to pc charge ..disk drive ..i say tether ., then a window say you cant ...sprint you need to contact... well no go., since my old evo dont give me this message when i tether .
the app for wifi cant install it., but ill work on that when i can tether
what next ?
First off, SuperUser is running and you had some apps ask for root permissions correct?
Now are you running a custom ROM or just Stock? If its just stock, the hotspot isn't hacked so that's why your getting the contact Sprint. Try using the Wireless Tether app from Lemon and Muller.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
That should work for the hotspot in your phone if everything is rooted correctly. I've never tethered straight from my phone to my computer, but Google should help you find an app for that.
Edit: if you can't install the app, you need to download the .apk file. That's the work around since most carriers try to block these apps from being seen and downloaded typically. Shortydoggg gave you the .apk so you should be able to install that without any trouble...

Regarding the apps asking for root permission , not sure there., but it is a sprint rom , stock this phone never been worked on before.iam going to try this tether app. If it doesn't work that means iam not rooted still., no. how can I tell of busy app is hooked up right.and or the supper app , the settings....etc since everything else is done.

Try root checker basic from the market. It should tell you whether or not you are rooted.
yeah its telling me iam rooted ., but know with the wifi i was told to download its working ., but cant tether from cable or sprint wi fi ., maybe because its stock rom ., anyhow great to start its going with this ., keeps crashing but it works . thank you all
Also, you may need to check your computer's wireless network settings and delete any previous profiles that may have been saved that tried connecting to your phone. They can interfere with any new settings and prevent the wireless tether apps from connecting. You still need a custom ROM with the hotspot already hacked if you expect to use the one from Sprint.
So, I heard some while a go that it is possible to have flash in GIO. Me being a totally helpless with tech I asked my friend of a friend of a friends cousin to ROOT my phone. Well that went smoothly, I did not get flash on my mobile´s websites but instead I can´t connect my Gio to PC via USB... NUTS!
And "the Friend" can´t help me no longer...
So here are the problems, I can´t connect to PC, no matter what. Tried de-buggin, un-installed drivers <-> installed drivers. Nothing...
Also I have that app I don´t really want ( or do I?), called SuperSU which is´nt working, says something about "binary needs to update -> Fail". How the h*ll i´m gonna get rid of that? Is that app that lost my USB-connection? Did I do it?
So could some one please tell me, 1) How to remove SuperSU-app or how to fix it (I you think that I should have it). 2) Any ideas how to solve USB-issue. 3) If I need to install any app´s, softwares and so on, links would be great. Working ones...
Here´s some specs from my phone, GT-S5660, Android ver. 2.3.6, "somethingsomething" S5660XXKT6, Core(?) 2.6.35.7-perf-CL1006648, "mumbojumbo" GIGERBREAD.XXKTI. SuperSU v0.98
Ask for more information if you need it, i´ll try to explain the best I can, english is´nt my language. Me no enklish, me finnish.
... Is it possible to have flash on GIO?
superSU is the app that gives away root acces to apps and to the system.
you need to use wifi or 3G and update the binairy
for usb, make sure you fully disabled Kies and killed it with the task manager

Thanks for reply. SuperSU won´t update, not on wifi or 3G. Just says "update failed".
I have deleted Kies from laptop, cleaned registry, even removed all usb-drivers then restarted laptop(did that with WIN7 an XP-PRO), yell´ed at my neighbours and blamed the cat.
Still no connection, I can connect NOKIA with usb-cable, the cable recharges my Gio but no luck with connecting... I quess that damn thing is broken.
I´ll focus now on removing that superSU, which will be a weeks job at my skills...
Thanks anyway.

Yes, it´s the cable that came with Gio. Can´t find Nokia´s cable so I could try that one. How do I check that if my phone has a custom rom that is´nt suitable or something like that.

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.
I know that the bigges problem is in front my laptop´s screen, AKA my face, but as I earlier stated, me no computers.
I wish someone would make an app that removes all of these root-thingies and gives you a free nokia 3310
Thanks for reply, I won´t give up. There must be a simple answer for this. I just have to find it, or someone gives it me... Latter the better.
Ooh ooh, FYI, now I have these two app´s in my phone. SuperSU and Superuser, should I just quit fidling with my phone
...and now when I connect my phone to laptop, win7 gives every 3 sec. a message that one of the USB-hardwares is in errormode or something (I´m bad at traslating), it sounds like a intro of a Skrillex-song...

Yep, if you mean flash´ing is done by the the method of power+"that large button at bottom of my phone" and install update->unroot.zip then yes, app won´t go. Do I have a wrong file? Are those files spesific to a certain app? The trick is to get two superuser-apps is klick+klick+yes+fustration+install+hope+i don´t know. If I could I would give you better info... You mean that SuperSU (the one with cyan droid with red cape) and Superuser (the one with green droid and a eyepatch) shouldnt exist in a same phone? This is going straight to the twilightzone.
If you are confused, quess how I feel:laugh:
And either of them won´t update binary...
Oh, and yes, no ( ) I can´t uninstall either of those app, well from phone´s uninstall-section, butt that do´snt uninstall these apps for good... They are still there when I go to settings+apps+manage apps+all-> there they are.

Right, here´s where I´m at. Now my phone IS rooted, it also have android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod9 :laugh:
Done some fidling you see...
But still no connection via usb, I´m starting to think that it is a hardware-related problem. It does charge my phone, but no connection for file transfer.
So for now I will be happy for these settings.
Just need to get the a2sdgui working propely, can´t move apps from phone to sd.

have look at this for Apps 2 sd on ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590807&highlight=guide+ics
I think there's no problem with a rooted phone. You just need to do some homework before you started at it. Let me help you by explaining you some words and some help.
Root: when you root your phone you are able to flash roms on your phone.
Recovery mode: the menu that you get when you touch the on button + the OK button.
Flashing: installing a rom.
Rom: a kind of system on your phone. After rooting you can put these on your phone like iOS or
ICS.
When you are rooting your phone, you need a new recovery mode: Clockwork mode recovery. You can install this as the same way like flashing a rom. After that you can apply the update.zip package. Now your phone us rooted and when you reboot your phone you have a new app: SuperSU (or superuser) This app gives apps permission to other apps. Now you are able to flash any rom you want. Just google on: roms for /thenameofyourphone/ and you get enough results. Some roms are really great and are smooth and have a nice theme like android 4.1 or ios. Just download the rom. Put it on yor sd card. Go into recovery mode (clockwork mode recovery). Backup current rom, do a factory reset, wipe cache and install the rom. After flashing you must reboot your phone and ENJOY!
You can also download link2sd which allows you to move ALL you apps to your sd card. By the way. When you have rooted your phone it isn't bad but you have to read very much and after a while you will understand everything and you will enjoy your favourite rom.

I just rooted my girlfriend's Reef in about 2 mins. I haven't yet messed with roms or recoveries yet, however, that will be a project for tomorrow. It's a pretty simple procedure, make sure your phone is set to allow apps from unknown sources, Google "Framaroot 1.4.1" from your phone's browser, then download the apk. Also make sure that if you have anti-virus on your phone, clear the defaults, as the apk will not install if you have it set to autoscan before install. Click the download in the notification bar when it is done, then install with "package installer". When done, open the program, install with "Superuser" (which is the default option at the top). My phone rooted with the "Gandalf" exploit. Reboot your device. Verify that "Superuser" shows in the app drawer, I also verify root with "Root Checker" by joeykrim.

Just as the title dictates. I am trying to walk a friend through installing google play on his rooted fire tv, I emailed him all the necessary files and he installed via es file explorer which apprently did not work as it just gives him a white screen. Is this only able to function if it is installed via adb?
Did you guide him through the xposed framework installation as well?
Yes
danknasty, maybe have your friend read the guide. Why would you not use Adb? and you have to install the xposed framework along with the module for google play to function. And to top it off to make it work perfectly fine, you need to use market helper 2.0 beta.

You mentioned Rooted. i have a solution for you. Get him to install quicksupport and start it up. Then use teamviewer on your home pc and connect to it using the number quick support generates. Note: the first time the person will have to accept access to root privs. From that point on you'll have full control of his firetv from your PC. I do that all the time for my parents who live remotely.
I also connect to their PC so I have their PC and their firetv and can do adb install or what ever I need. Hope it helps.

Yeah,. and if he is rooted and has google play which he dosen't as thats what you are trying to install. Then you could install it for him automatically through google any app he needs. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
One other thing to note is that if he gets the prompt for root grant, you know there is a timer of 15 seconds and he has to accept it in that time. I know i have a hard time explaining that too to my parents.
Thanks I think I lucked out and they hit the permanent root grant option on the unit.

Is there a permanent root option with the newer firmwares? I didn't know. At least not with supersu. The permanent option used to exist in the older rooted firmwares. The new ones' have to select grant everytime root is requested.

If you select the permanent option when you first root I believe it transfers over. When you update it. That was my understanding correct me if I'm wrong.

I've done so many roots and have never seen that option. The older firmwares with towelroot had it that way. but when you upgrade from those rooted versions to the new one, you have to constantly grant.
Are you talking about units you've hardware rooted? I just did one not so long ago and in the supersu program there is a choice that says grant always. After upgrade to the latest firmware it still remains.

No. I've never done hardware roots. just the software roots with the ethernet removal trick if you get the right firmware.

danknasty, maybe have your friend read the guide. Why would you not use Adb? and you have to install the xposed framework along with the module for google play to function. And to top it off to make it work perfectly fine, you need to use market helper 2.0 beta.
