anyone else still can't install non market apps?

[Neuralgia]

I'm still waiting to see when my Inspire will get the update. Is there a way to install this or upgrade faster?

I'm not interested in rooting... yet, so at&t supposedly letting me install non market apps was a great thing, but now not having the promised option is starting to bother me a little bit.

Any ideas or inside info?

Thanks.

All I did was go on the website and do the online chat thing with an ATT rep. Asked her about it and she sent me the update. Got a little pop-up asking if I wanted to do the update. Hit yes and it was done.

I'm still waiting on that update, but I have absolutely no desire to call up AT&T.

Those darn fools tried to send a technician into my home because THEY changed the password to my DSL service but didn't bother to tell me.

The problem I'm having is that I'm not in the States... so calling At&t is not an option for me.

It's weird that they don't have the upgrade for everyone by now.

I didn't call att. I went on the website and did the online chat. Took all of 10 minutes.

My wife's inspire still cannot install non-market apps. My inspire is rooted though.

I did have the same issue as you, im not from the US. I do have my HTC inspire for a week and a half now.

What i did the first days was use the Android central sideload Wonder Machine, that you can find in androidcentral forums. very good app and no need for root.

i did try first z4root, and did not work for me, on temporary or permanent root.
after that a few days ago i use superoneclick root app from here in XDA. Click in Root (that does not root permanently, just temporally) and then click on allow non-market apps. did a phone reboot, and voila no root but still can load non-market apps.

Hope this helps you.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to fix my issue.

I tried the superoneclick method, rooted temporarlily, but the option to Allow Non Market Apps never appeared.

It even failed when it tried to check the SU an FAILED.
