[Q&A] Unknown Sources FIX Offered

[benzersizadam]

Hello,

as i read the posts and threads AT&T phones have locked unknown sources. So we cant install unknown sourced apps. (as applanet etc.) and updated fw's (1.4.257.19) cant root yet.

so i found something. i mounted my atrix and took downloaded files from applanet/downloads folder.

then i copied to sdk/tools folder.

i re-connected atrix with PHONE PORTAL mode and enabled usb-debugging.

i run command : adb install ndrive.apk

and Successfull !

i controlled my device application runs perfect.

Step by step :

1-Download from applanet (or internet. if you donwload from internet pass through to step 6 )

2- Connect Atrix in Mass Storage mode.

3- Copy downloaded files from SDCARD to SDK/TOOLS (ex : applanet : applanet/downloads)

4- Rename file (app.apk to NAME_OF_APP.apk)

5- Disconnect Atrix

6- Connect Atrix as Phone portal mode with debugging enabled

7- Open command prompt go to sdk/tools folder (EX: cd C:\sdk\tools\)

8- make sure phone connected (adb devices)

9- Run Command => adb install NAME_OF_APP.apk

10- Success !

you can always install apps through adb install, this is widely known, please search before posting. Also there are methods to enable unknown sources so you don't need to install them through adb. Again, search

Aye download any Root utility and it will almost always allow sideloading, as well. aRoot and the oldschool root utility (Super whatever) both do it.

and you can root the update if you prepare first, check the dev section.
