GladiAtrix Enabler v1.05 (Sideloading/Tethering APN)

Quick and simple tool to enable sideloading or add the AT&T tethering APN to your device, should you need it. This requires root to work

Also, this is a Windows only script. If anyone wants to port this to Linux or OSX I'd be happy to include links in the main post.

TESTED working on:
  • Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.26
  • Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.52
  • Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.57
  • Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.83
  • Rooted Bell Firmware 0.37.4

If you test it and it works on a version different than listed here, let me know and I'll update the first post

I do not have anything but an AT&T Atrix to test this on, but the sideloading fix should work if any device. The tethering APN is only for AT&T as it's carrier specific.

Little bit of additional info here:

  • Enables sideloading for any device
  • Adds AT&T tethering APN
  • You need to click "allow" to superuser when prompted.

Installation instructions:
  1. Read the directions.
  2. Read the directions again.
  3. Read the directions a third time. If you do not understand a step, ASK before starting.
  4. Download the script
  5. Extract the files to C:\GladEnable. Do not install anywhere else. Having it inside a folder with a space will cause the script to FAIL.
  6. Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development).
  7. Connect your phone (I recommend setting USB Connection to 'None').
  8. Run GladEnable.bat (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).
  9. Follow the on-screen directions. You will need to tap "Allow" on your phone for each step.
  10. Make sure you allow the superuser request on your phone or it WILL fail.
  11. All done!
DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible if this bricks your phone or if it doesn't work properly for you. I've done everything I can to ensure smooth execution.

If you have any issues, feel free to PM me, reply to this thread, or come find me on IRC (I'm Fenrir or fenfone on IRC)​

Brilliant, Ririal
Thanks for all your amazing work. I plan on running this script tomorrow.

In the event that reboot is not in the power popup, I really like Quickboot from the market. I have a shortcut to reboot the phone under my power widget. Works great.

I realize it doesn't say it in the OP, but does this add the reboot option like your original Mod?

This is not the GladiAtrix rom. It only does sideloading/tethering APN for users who just want to enable that, or for users who were using v1 of my retain root script and didn't enable it before hand with aRoot.

The ROM (when it's done, I'm having some issues with the installer. The ROM part is technically finished :p) has the reboot power menu option.

Awesome Ririal. Will the new version of the ROM root 4.1.57 without needing to go back to 4.1.26 first?

Ok, I'm having problems with activating tethering in general. It seems that moto blocked tethering completely. I did v2 of retain root, i used this script, and i also tried it manually and each one of them says that i need a tethering plan. did moto fix this for good?

With the update i am getting an instant connect on the mobile hotspot. I no longer have to tether the APN to get it to stick. I do notice that ocassionally it breifly says im not set up before it actaully connects.

Thanks Ririal,
Many people are realizing that Titanium Backup restores App+Data well, but most system data and settings restores are breaking functionality. A factory reset will restore Blur account and some other settings that are lost but will also make side loading and tethering go away.
Now users we have a way to get those back with out a full SBF.

Bang! You got me! This is exactly what happened to me.
This update totally fixed my sideloading and tethering issues.

BTW, the script failed on me the first time, I'm not sure why. Something about permission denied on ./data/local/tmp/gladenable.sh. But the second time I ran it, everything worked.

Thank you so much Ririal!

Probably just missed the superuser allow request on your phone, that's why you got permission denied.

It's possible that Motorola patched the workaround for tethering. All this script does is add the custom APN, which used to work. I haven't looked at other methods for permanently enabling tethering as this method has worked for me in the past.

Manually add APN

Is it possible to add an APN without using the script, like with the Samsung Captivate, I'm asking because I'm planning to use the phone outside the US therefore I'm gonna need an APN not from AT&T...

Thanks in advanced

Hi,
Ran the script and allowed the Superuser prompt, all finished without error --- yet I still don't have the sideloading option in Applications->Development

And when I try to sideload an app, keep getting an error message that it isn't allowed for my safety ..

What am I missing here? Am on 1.5.7 Gladiatrix, root is working fine.

Thanks for any help!

Problems...

I'm having an issue while running the command. I'm a recent iPhone user so this is all new to me. First I'd like to make sure this is all I need to do in order to install 3rd party apps (a.k.a. apps I obtain online) I don't need to do a full-blown root, do I?

While the command is running, it first asks me, "Do you want to install sideloading?" I input 'y' and hit Enter. That results in: " /system/bin/su: not found " Does this mean I need to root first?

Maybe one or more files are not getting extracted, but I don't see anything else in the download. My download contains 5 files.

1. GladEnable.bat
2. gladenable.sh
3. abd.exe
4. AdbWinApi.dll
5. AdbWinUsbApi.dll

Let me know if there's anything else you need that would help solve the problem.

Works on:
  • Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.26
  • Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.52
  • Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.57
  • Rooted Bell Atrix (unsure firmware verison, SIDELOADING ONLY, so there's really no point, but it should work just fine if you want to run it, or want an AT&T APN :p)
It clearly states that you need to be rooted for this to work. Please read the post before asking questions that are already answered.

You can add a manual APN in the settings menu, yes.

run the batch file without errors but i still can't get the tethering to work. My phone is sim unlocked and on 4.1.57 rooted...
Works for me, unsure what the issue could be. Enable the APN, then reboot your phone, I was having issues prior to reboot myself.

Not sure, never had the sideloading not work for me. This doesn't add the checkbox in the application settings menu (what reason do you really need to uncheck it?), it just enables it. Make sure the script is completing successfully with no errors.

I'm having the same problem, it didn't find sql-lite3 in my path, but it still said sideloadng was enabled ... ??
You likely are not rooted then.

Great work on all your programs and want to say THANKS for all your work with the atrix. one thing I would like to know. is there an app to install the clock and weather app as the htc phones have on them?
That's a part of HTC sense. You can buy Beautiful Widgets from the market that includes copies of those widgets.
