Non-Market Bravo

I am brand new to XDA and therefore can't post to the development thread. I have done Super One Click to my bravo and I believe it successfully rooted it. I am trying to add the wifi tether app but because it's non-market it won't let me load the application. The SOC said that it successfully added the non-market app coding but it doesn't seem to have worked. Any suggestions?

Enable att non-market app
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* I am not responsible if you brick your phone, but this is the easiest way, besides ADB shell comand.
** this step also work on At&t flipout
1. Root your bravo.
2. Install "RootExplorer".
3. Install "SQLite Editor".
4. Use "RootExplorer" take you to
/data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/settings
5. click on the "Value" colum of "force_only_market_apps"
6. Press "menu" button and select "Edit Field"
7. Change "1" to "0", then save.
Now you have "Unknown sources" option available for you at "Application Settings". ( check it to enable non-market install directly from web or your microsd card )

So you're saying using the SQL editor on the phone to change the value right? Also is there a free editor available? I've seen this online and have a free root explorer but so far ahven't found a free editor.

There is a discussion about pulling the file out of the phone, edit it and re-install back in. ( somehow I found that method little more risky, if you didn't keep the file in proper format, you might end up w/ infinite loop )

enable non market app on Motorola bravo
First i want to thank No Clue for the final part of this post , because without him i could not have made it possible .
Here is a step by step method to remove (non-market App ) block from your
Motorola BRAVO with AT&T:
First you need to make sure your Bravo is Rooted.
Here is what you need to do for that:
1- you plug your Motorola Bravo to your computer, using the USB cord provided
and as prompted, install the driver (motorola portal) needed to sync your
phone to your PC.Make sure you Check on : Settings/Applications/Development/
USB Debugging.(debug mode when USB connected)
2- Once phone connected to PC successfully. Download this zip file (added below):
AC-SWM.zip
Unzip on your desktop.
( the content of this zip file has everything to perform what is commonly called :
"side load" non-market applications.)
* How to use AC-SWM:
- drop your non-market application into the "payload" folder
- doubleclick "loader.bat" to run application
- If phone successfully connected to computer. a DOS window
will come up and will read "daemon started successfully"
and will show a serial number of the device attached.
the rest is pretty much self guided.
- You push enter and it will show the process of installing wathever
app you have on your "payload" folder.If installed successfully it will
display message "Success".
3- Knowing this. The first step to successfully control internal data on your phone
is to "root" it.
Thats where you are going to need the "side load" method to install :
Superuser.apk (added below)
This will give the following applications access to your phone ROM
z4root.1.3.0.apk (added below).
That little application is the easyest way to root your phone.
just install it and run it. On screen your will have a button that says "ROOT"
press on it and let the magic happen! It will root the phone and will reboot by
itself.
Once the phone back on you should be rooted.
4- Now that it is rooted. There is an option that was removed from your phone
by AT&T that enables "non-market" applications to install.
You need to get to the settings database on your phone to restore that option.
ON Motorola bravos the two database files that controls this option are :
etc/motorola/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/setting.mkitso
and
etc/motorola/com.android.providers.settings/secure.mkitso.
But without some sort of file explorer app you can't access those files.
We are going to use the same "side load" process to install these apps:
- root explorer.apk (added below)
- sqleditor.v1.4.apk (added below)
* what are their functions?
- root explorer, will allow you to show on a list all the files on your phone
including the "root directory" files among witch will be listed the two files
we talked about above. but at this point we can only see them, but we can't
change the codings on them (edit).
- To be able to "edit" data files on your phone you need SQLite editor. It will
also give you the ability to change the codings to it .
5- So after installing those two applications . Run root explorer, it'll take a
little time to find and list all the files on your phone . Then get into these files:
data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
(*thats when sql editor will take over and allow you to see settings.db contents)
you go to "secure"
locate the line listed as : Install_non_market_apps press "menu" button to edit
Records and change value to "1".
and save change.
data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
(*thats when sql editor will take over and allow you to see settings.db contents)
you go to "settings"
locate the line listed as : force_only_market_apps press "menu" button to edit
Records and change value to "0".
and save change.
6- go back to home screen and open settings on home screen menu
Applications, and voila!
you should have now an "unknown sources" check field available to you.
PS: if Field is not showing try to download a non-market app directly to Phone
and install.
phone will show a message asking if you are sure you want to authorize this app.
and a setting button.
once you say yes the first time. This field will be available to you then .
Now that worked for me and i am currently able to install non-market app
straight to my phone .

^^that worked gteat, thanks a lot.

Ok I have followed the steps and still no check box for non market apps.

Fixed. Just went ahead and bought re and sql. I will use them in future use anyway. Now it is time to open my kitchen. I hope you guys know what that means.

What did not work for you exactly .
i would want this post to remain up to date?!
cause previous user was able to make it work!
Is it one of the files i attached that is not working for you?!
give me details please?!

When I installed your root explorer and sqlite file the sq wouldn't autostart. I have been modding for a while so I rushed and just pulled the db files edited and replaced. Which caused a boot cycle. So I hard reset and installed my purchased root and sq apps. It worked flawlessly that way. I will be dumping my system into the kitchen over the weekend.
With how smooth this phone is I would have figured another dev would have started working with this phone. I will be working on the Bravo while working on my X10. Wish me luck.

Yeah! You right, noone even gave it the time of the day... I guess it's because of all those restrictions with AT&T.
But you know where to find me if you get the cooked ROM to work on this!!!
GOOOOOODDDD LUUUUCCKKKK!!!!
I would say the first step to this is to change the bootloader , but can't find a clockwork that works on Bravo.

same problem plagued the X10 for the longest of times. Now they have about 8 roms including MIUI and CM7 with a locked bootloader. So patients and time will be the key.

just set up WIFI tether. Worked great Thank you.

So Londnwhitted,
The unlocking process worked fine for you with files attached?!
glad i was able to help... apparently those files works fine for some people, and not too well for others, still dont see what is causing this!

you need to master reset after changing those 2 files on most bravo's, that is probably the problem. I did your procedure a while back on my gf's bravo using info i pieced together from other phones, i tried everything but it would not work till i master reset after making the changes, period.

Sideloader worked great.
The explorer and the sql editor worked. I only changed the 2nd value "force_only_market_apps" and then i was good to go. I couldnt find the Install_non_market_apps value. But after everything i didnt need it.
Didnt have to reset.
Tether works (2.06 not the 3.0) but its rather slow on my nook color. anyone have any ideas how to speed it up?

it may be because i assume ur using the adhoc mod for ur nook color? i hear the supplicant used is problematic. Unfortunately i doubt the bravo wifi supports ap mode but has anyone tried? dl wifi tether 3.0 from the google code site and see if it will let you set hostapd mode. it works great on the dx but the dx has an ap mode wifi firmware included from motorola for the vzw app.

I use abd install extremely easy for installing third party apps, simple and very painless.

Custom ROM for Spice MI 350
dear freinds
this is really wonderful to see that many ppl are coming here in search of truth. lol.. well sort of as spice didn't specified that its lenovo A60 .

actually custom roms are already there in russian forum but as usual the language and other issues are quite rampant.
i wanted to have a clean bloat free rom which is lighter and fast and i think that i am quite near to it. the Beta rom which i am using right now has free rom of about 50-6o MB. obviously some bugs are there so i am trying to remove them asap. but seriously this is far better than stock rom .
some features that will be there
pre rooted
busybox already installed
sony arc launcher
removed all spice bloatware
deodexed ( bugs are there)
bettery % mod
give me some time and u will get it.

I was able to root the spice mi-350 earlier and messed up with installing a battery mod from another custom ROM. The phone was constantly resetting
Then I found your post to reflash the phone and was successfullly able to recover my phone Thanks a ton!
BTW, the following settings doesn't work after root.

It ends up with a crash... "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close

[Tool][Windows]Root 2.11.605.9 or .19, No data wipe or downgrade!

Hi all! This is a tool I made that will bypass your need to downgrade from 2.11.605.9 or .19 to get S-OFF. It uses the fre3vo exploit by TeamWin/Agrabren and the Revolutionary tool. I take no credit for this method.
Thank Agrabren here.
Thank the revolutionary team at Revolutionary.io
*I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices*
*Rooting voids your warranty! If you do not know that by now, you probably need to research more before you root*
This means that you will not have to deal with large files, and you will not lose any data.
Happy rooting!
*If you have any PG05IMG.zip files on your sdcard, remove them first!*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
File: Goo-inside.me Downloads - Downloading DowngradeBypass.zip
MD5 is on download page.
Mirror: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/DowngradeBypass.zip
MD5: BCD3A6982E819400E87CED8CFA6D3FB7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All you do is download this, unzip it (very important!), and run the RUN-ME.bat. Just make sure to read and follow all directions in the program carefully.
Please copy and paste the beta code for Revolutionary when that step comes along (I tell you how in the tool), because if it gets put in wrong you will need to manually start Revolutionary from the support_files folder.
========= FULL TEXT TUTORIAL! =========​
1. Download the file. Check the MD5sum of it. (If you do not know how, download this, open it, paste in the MD5sum that is above, click browse and select the zip file. If it is green, continue. If it is red, redownload the file and start over.)
2. Uninstall Droid Explorer if you have it. If you have any PG05IMG.zip files on your sdcard, remove them. Plug in your phone, set it to charge only (Through the notification menu on your phone), Go to Settings > Applications > Development and make sure to select "Stay Awake" and "USB Debugging" and hit OK on the popup if there is one. Keep the screen on during the process.
3. Right click on the .zip file, and then click extract.
This window will pop up.

}
Make sure "Show extracted files when complete" is checked, and hit extract.
4. Now a folder will pop up. In that folder, double click RUN-ME.bat.
5. A window will pop up. It should say something like "*Daemon not running. starting it now* *Daemon started successfully*"
If it says something like "*Failed to start daemon* adb server didn't ACK", you need to uninstall HTC Sync or other syncing software (EasyTether, PDAnet, etc.) then restart the tool.
5. You will now be at a menu. If this is your first time rooting, you probably do not have the fastboot drivers installed, so enter N and press enter. (If you do have them installed, enter Y and skip to step 8.)
6. Wait for the driver window to close. It will take awhile. (The big window, not the small one)
7. Click back on the tool window and press enter.
8. It should now find your device. If not, try rebooting your phone and computer and retrying.
9. Then it should say:
-Getting root with fre3vo, thanks TeamWin!
-This will take a minute.
There will be some static-y lines going across your phone's screen. This is normal.
10. After a few minutes, it should finish and say:
-Success!
-Restarting adb...
*daemon not running. starting it now*
*daemon started successfully*
-Putting superuser files on your sdcard...
[some random numbers here]
-Starting Revolutionary and the Website....
And then the window will close.
If not, and it says root unsecessful, then try pulling your phone battery and running again.
11. 11. At this point, a textbox pops up. Once you close it there will be another one. Keep the first one open until you get your beta key (After step 13).
12. The website revolutionary.io and one or two other black boxes will also pop up. If only the website pops up, and no revolutionary window, open the support_files folder and double click revolutionary.exe. If there are two revolutionary windows, you can close one.
13.On the revolutionary website, please scroll down to Download for Windows. Click that button, then cancel the download. Enter your phone's information in the prompts that pop up. The info you need is in the text boxes.
14. Click "Generate Key".
15. Once you do that, copy your beta key from the website, then paste it into the Revolutionary window. To paste it, right click the title bar of the Revolutionary window then click edit then click paste.
16. Press enter on the Revolutionary window.
17.It should say something like:
Code:
Root acquired!
Sending in Caroline...
Cleaning up...
Rebooting to fastboot...
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back!
Waiting for fastboot...
Rebooting to fastboot (Once moar...)
SUCCESS - Life gave us lemons, we didn't make lemonade!
Do you want to download (Internet connection required) and flash ClockworkMod Reocvery? [Y/n]
18. Press Y and press enter.
19. Now it should say:
Code:
Downloading recovery for your phone (mecha)... Done.
Flashing recovery over fastboot...SUCCESS!
Then the window will close.
20. Now, using volume buttons to navigate and power to select, select bootloader.
21. Wait a few seconds, and then select recovery.
22. Your phone will now go to CWM recovery and automatically flash superuser.
23. Reboot your phone and you're rooted.
24. Enjoy!

I think its awesome that someone did this but this method seems way more complicated than doing it the other way. Maybe its just because you spelled out every step though hehe.

Yeah that's why ;P
These are pretty much the only instructions needed
All you do is download this, unzip it (very important!), and run the RUN-ME.bat. Just make sure to read and follow all directions in the program carefully.
Please copy and paste the beta code for Revolutionary when that step comes along (I tell you how in the tool), because if it gets put in wrong you will need to manually start Revolutionary from the support_files folder.

my original posts in other forums didn't have it, but I got a lot of questions so i decided to add it

I have two replacement Thunderbolts arriving today, and I plan to give this tool a whirl. I'll report back when I'm finished.
I was thinking of writing a tool like this, but I'm *so* glad I don't have to now!
I'm the type of coder who will spend hours trying to automate a process that would take only a few minutes if done manually

This def works.

[12/29] Restore for MJ5 --Doesn't trip Knox and optionally provides root--

Update:
After repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, attempting to take total ownership of my phone, I've switched to T-Mobile and will no longer maintain this thread. Thanks to those great many donors who've contributed to support this device and my effort, and best of luck to those who still have the drive to support this device.
A Special Thanks to the Following Donors:

---UPDATE---
If this is your first time recovering to MJ5, please follow all steps.
If you've already ran through this method successfully once, you can start at step 5
**Thanks to:
147aaron - OTA update
Designgears - RDLV
A.S._id - MJ5 Firmware
drakeymcmb - kn0x0ut support / mirror
1) Download and install Heimdall from here for windows. You'll need this and this to avoid missing .dll file errors
2) Download the following files;MI9_fix.img.ext4
https://mega.co.nz/#F!icMTnSQY!bMBNFmUnn2_K8olSTYpwIA (mirror provided by drakeymcmb)
sec_csc.zip
rldv.zip
2400258.zip​Put everything except for the system.img on your external SD card
3) Download and install the MJ5 partions. Use Odin to flash these files (match the file names with the different upload slots)AP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip​BL_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip​CP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip​HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit​

}
4) Now is the time to use Heimdall.
Reboot into Download Mode once Odin finishes.
Install the vcredist packages downloaded from step 1.
unzip the heimdall .zip file to c:/
go to c:/Heimdall Suite/Drivers and click on zadig.exe
click the middle menu button to select "Show All Devices"
from the dropdown, select MSM8960
click the "install driver" button.
you should see a success message
5) Navigate on your computer to c:/Heimdall Suite/ and open heimdall-frontend.exe.
IMPORTANT -- Go to the Utilities tab and click the "Detect" button
Go to the Flash tab on Heimdall, click Browse and select the HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit file downloaded from step 3
Click the 'add' button, then next to 'partition name' select system from the dropdown.
click the Browse button underneath the dropdown, and select the MI9_fix.img.ext4 image you downloaded from step 2.
6) Click Start. ***I usually check the 'No Reboot' box to prepare for booting into recovery
7) Heimdall and your Note will report a bad flash at around 95% -- but don't worry -- your system.img got uploaded Reboot directly into recovery mode.
8) Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the sec_csc.zip you downloaded earlier (did you remember to put that file on your external SD card?). This will install the CSC files and run the preload checkin so you don't FC all over the place
9) IMPORTANT--After flashing the sec_csc, the Note will reboot.
Try to catch it in time to reboot BACK into recovery
Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the 2400258.zip you downloaded earlier.
This will give you a stock MJ5 system. You can choose to stop here if you don't want to root.
10) Extract rldv.zip to the root of your internal sdcard (NOTE **my script removes Knox apps). Reboot, then once SuperSu installs, Reboot again.
This leaves you with a rooted MJ5 device.

Unlocking the bootloader would also allow us to use custom recovery, and the custom kernels would also allow us to run AOSP based roms

Now on another note, I'm on MJ5 and I see where you say we can stop after flashing non-rooted MI9. Theoretically, wouldn't I be able to continue to root and then be able to use the kn0x0ut script to flash a custom rom?

I seem to be stuck on step 9.
I'm not sure how to get to the root filesystem with my phone not yet rooted. Much less have the permissions to write files there i.e. copy and/or extract the rdlv to /system/
I can initiate an adb shell session in userland as "shell" but not as root. Can you clarify this step please? I seem to recall when I first rooted my phone with MI9 that I had full access to the filesystem (even just using explorer.exe) after using the designgears oneclick utility.
update:
well my impatience got the better of me and i went to the darkside and rooted with kingo. installing wanam now and everything appears to be ok. If there's an obvious assumption i'm missing that didn't allow me to complete step 9 i would like to know though since the more elegant solution is the preferred one

No problems. Kingo works fine. But, to answer your question-you should always have write access to your internal sdcard -- hook your phone up to your comp and it's the folder called "phone" that pops up. I apologize if that wasn't clear.

Can someone make a video of this? I would need help with Step 2 and Step 9 specifically.

All of them you may want to review the context of that post as well as reading through the OP of that thread. Using Odin, it should be clear as to where each of those files are intended to be flashed.
I would like to remind everyone that flashing anything on a phone as (expensive) locked down as our phone is, is dangerous. It may be why we are all here reading this post, but, if one of the steps includes something you've never heard of, please take the time to read more about it. You may learn about other things that will help the community achieve full control of our device! We need everyone at this point. I'm drafting an army of the willing

Aha, i guess for some reason i was under the impression that the shell script and the rdlv directory needed to be written to the /system/ (owned by root with 755) directory. Not sure why when i was looking at the "phone" mount point it didn't look to me like the root directory of a nix filesystem. Regardless, i really appreciate you putting this together / figuring it out. My phone has been FCing for about 3 weeks now . Hopefully other folks have similar success stories.

I haven't tried any of this as of yet, but plan to later today when I have some time. This might just be the best early Christmas present I've ever received. I was on the verge of buying a TMO Note 3 later today just to be able to load a custom ROM... this appears to make that unnecessary. If so, maybe I'll take some of the price difference between my subsidized ATT Note 3 and the TMO Note 3 and add it to the bootloader unlocking bounty.

Credit goes to Unjustified Dev for the LG Root Method used here:
UPDATE:
This is the method I used.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
I used these Drivers:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avicohh/files/Android/LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe/download
Follow the guide all the way through ADB pushing the files to the device in step 5. Easy part.
Step 6 has you rebooted into Download mode:
With Tablet OFF, hold Volume UP and plug in PC connection
Once in download mode, UNPLUG the cable (it says not to but its ok) and replug it back in. This will bling on your PC and will start the driver install process. It will take a minute or 2 before the "unknown devices" start to pop up and start installing the drivers.
You should see a LG device under Device Manager > Ports. Mine was COM5. It varies. Now we are ready to continue. Run the "ports.bat" from a CMD prompt. You want to use the "NETDIAG1" port. Mine was COM5. Don't use the modem COM.
use the "Send_Command.exe \\COM5" to get shell access into your tablet. You should see a "#".
I like to type in "ls /data/local/tmp" to verify the files were pushed over properly in the first few steps using ADB.
AND FOR SOME REASON, this doesn't always work on the first try. I have better luck manually typing out the script string.
Code:
sh /data/local/tmp/lg_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
You should see a bunch of "inflating...." lines. If it gets stuck or just returns a blank "#" just keep retrying. It seems to work after it is sitting for a few minutes. Eventually you will see the script take off and you are done.
Just hold the power button down and reboot.

glad you got root. have you tried installing twrp from the vk810.?
in the TWRP thread under android development i ask if anyone was willing to compile TRWP for us and a guy i said he would take a look at it.

Nah. Just rooted. Honestly since Lollipop and ART, Xposed has kinda lost its luster. I actually like the stock LG experience.

I successfully rooted this am using the OneClick Root 1.3 method described here:
http://www.smartphoneclinics.com/easy-way-to-root-verizon-lg-g-pad-x-8-3-vk815-one-click/
It took about 5 minutes, and all that I had to do was choose PTP mode. After rooting I installed Busybox, and all is good!
Now, If I could just do the same with my VZW G4...

Requested a forum for VK815.
I'm looking hard at the VK815 since my Nexus 7 2013 died. I requested a forum for the device at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61761668&postcount=18535

Thanks for these instructions! I got root successfully on my Verizon LG G Pad x8.3. Only things that tripped me up were getting the download mode - which is holding volume up on this device, and also rebooting at the end. I had a brief panic when I ran the scripts successfully, but couldn't reboot after it was done. I still had adb connection, so I tried typing "LEAVE" in the Send_Command prompt and that rebooted the device. Thank God!

You would have to already have root in order to save an edited build prop, and have root r/w enabled in the root browser you're using.

Thanks for these instructions! I got root successfully on my Verizon LG G Pad x8.3. Only things that tripped me up were getting the download mode - which is holding volume up on this device, and also rebooting at the end. I had a brief panic when I ran the scripts successfully, but couldn't reboot after it was done. I still had adb connection, so I tried typing "LEAVE" in the Send_Command prompt and that rebooted the device. Thank God!

I made an edit for Volume Up. It typically is up but I swore I had to actually use volume down. Glad it helped. I like to make detailed walkthroughs so I can not only help others but come back to when I need to later.
Once the script was done, I just waited a few minutes to settle and do a hard shut down. I do that on my G2 and G4.
