morning,
ive always used android commander to edit/remove/alter my android devices in the past (g2, milestone) but w/ my new glide it says i dont have root access so i cant remove the things i don't want. is there a better more relyable tool for the glide or is there something i may have missed in commander?
i think i have root, terminal emulator is installed & gives me the "#" sign when entering "su" & giving permission. altho superuser doesnt show it or any other apps in its list so maybe im missing something altogether. CWMR is installed & ive tried 2 of the ROMs available but reinstalled my back up i made after getting root access..
anyhow sorry to clutter w/ possibly a dumb question im usually able to find an answer w/out aksing here & always any help is appreciated.
Look in the development folder

development "folder" = forum?
this must be a commander issue as my xt720 doesnt show root anymore.
any suggestions as to another program folks use for this that may be more reliable
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.
it wont let me post my question on that thread, so please don't get mad at me for asking here.
in the tutorial, it says to put the phone in download mode and launch odin3, okay, i have done all those steps and not done anything different.
It's connected and odin3 isn't doing anything after i press start, is this because i need the android sdk? if so, is there something more i should have as well? I am fairly new to this, just bought the phone off amazon, works nice, hate that I cant delete the bloatware and not loving the idea of CarrierIQ on it. Its taking forever to do anything and i am sure its not the computer, octacore amd fx processor, 8gb ram, windows 7 64-bit ultimate edition.. just need to understand and it sucks we cant ask a question directly on the topic at hand for us new to the site, but i can understand that it must get old answering the same questions over and over, specially if no one bothers to read.
many thanks to those who are willing to help.
nevermind, i got it.. the next time anyone else has this problem.. yes, you must have adb somehow to issue commands for this install.
I was not sure if odin3 1.85 had it compiled into it or not, I'm not a developer, but I do test what I can.
anyways for those who also have the issue for path variables for installation of android software development kit, make sure you have the Java se jdk installed and read the readme guide that comes in the doc folder where you installed your jdk to. it explains what you gotta do to have android sdk install properly.
afterwords, you will want to install android sdk. make sure to install it into the c:\ root so you can access it easily. once installed, go to your start menu and run the android sdk app, this will open a launcher and you want to install platform-tools, as well as Google USB drivers as a precautionary act.
I would also recommend using Samsung kies2 to install your drivers for your phone as it seems to always get that right for my installs.
one more little thing, if you can't find the manual that installed the Java SE JDK, Google "Java jdk enviroment variable how to"
you might also add the following in your "PATH" environment variable, no spaces and keep all data there as is, just paste this in and modify the installed location to your android sdk.
;C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools;C:\AndroidSDK\tools
now just click okay and your all set to use adb everytime, as long as you add it all right. I'LLC touch up this file after work as I am on my phone or this would be easier LOL.

Never once have I had to have andriod sdk to use anything on odin.. maybe u needed the drivers installed first and sdk put them there for u if the didn't come ripped from the phone
I didn't think I would have to, but it made me this time and I dunno why. Like I said I'm no developer, but it seems like a lot of crap just to get adb running and I've always had Odin come with adb. I dunno. But thank you for this, maybe worth looking into deeper..

I used kies for the drivers and I had to use adb, but never the whole sdk.
I used to own the older captivate which lead me to purchase this one because I loved my captivate. I also have owned a Motorola Droid milestone, Motorola Droid, Samsung intercept and, Samsung galaxy s captivate. All had to use adb to be rooted and unlock/recover at one point in time or another..
Maybe Odin just comes precomiled like previously stated? Again, thank you.

For my final year project I'm creating an Android app. As i'm sure most of you are aware the Android emulator is incredibly slow and so I want to run the app on my phone instead each time. I know you can do this usually but as my phone is rooted and running a ROM (that isn't stock), it doesn't give me the option to run on the phone when I run the project (I know you can usually do this because my friends unrooted phone works fine). Is there anyway I can get my rooted phone to work or will I have to revert to stock?
Many thanks
You might be better off in another non device specific forum.
But in general, yes, it can. The only thing a stock ROM can do that a custom one can't is consume more resources, battery, and space than necessary.
Do you mean to install an app? Just tap on the .apk file on a file manager or something and it should let you install.
Go into developer options and click whatever needs to be checked. If you run adb devices and it shows up, you should be able to install it on your device. If you are using eclipse the option should show when you try to run the program.

No, I mean just running the app like I would through the emulator without installing the .apk file on the phone.

When I adb devices it wasn't showing anything so I downloaded PdaNet and this re-installed the correct drivers for my phone. It now works :victory:
You cannot run an app without installing it ..
when u use the emulator on pc and and connect your phone via datacable to run your app on it , the emulator actually installs that app in your phone and then run it ! most probably u r not confused with this ...
I have rooted my phone using the Vietnamese method, not Bin4ry's, and I have successfully unlocked the phone using Freegee. I downloaded Root Browser Lite and began trying to uninstall some of the bloatware I'll never use, but have found I cannot uninstall anything other than apps I installed myself. I have things running properly that require root, i.e. AdFree, but I noticed that RB Lite did not request root permission when I opened it up and tried uninstalling apps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled RB Lite a couple times, hasn't fixed anything. Am I doing something wrong? I am new to this game, having only one phone prior that I rooted/unlocked and messed with ROMs on, but I never had a single issue removing apps off my Evo 4G. Any help is welcome and appreciated! If you need more details, let me know. Thanks guys!
Does the RB Lite supports the required features?
Cause the Root Explorer, for example, doesnt provide them in light version.
It claims to. In the description: Batch copy/paste, zip, tar, delete, move any file or folder. When I ran FreeGee, I didn't get any errors, and CWM seems to be working fine. And again, apps that require root, i.e. AdFree are working correctly. I don't know, maybe I'll throw down the $3.99 for Root Explorer and see if that works...

Care to elaborate? May be helpful to others.
RB Lite was the issue. Downloaded File Explorer, which if you intend to use on a rooted phone, makes you download some extra files from the app store. This program is free and seems to work well enough, though my goal is simply debloating the phone. Anyways, silly error on many part.
