How to sideload apps to an HTC Phone without Unknown Sources

[coolercoolercoooler2]

do your phone have to be rooted ?

[meturoid13]

For all those who's Android wont connect with the software, you have to install the drivers off the HTC website. Message me and I will send you a link.

[666wickedjack]

I have the same inspire as you and the injector isn't detecting it

[MrCrucifer]

Thanks So Much, so easy to do, no issues whatsoever, HTC Inspire. - Playing Zombieville USA.

EASIEST SOLUTION in order to sideload NON-MARKET APPS if the “Unknown Sources” is not available to click. ”Call ATT (611) and ask to speak to someone in the PMC dept. When connected to them ask them to send you the sideload update from the Xdm link. They will send it while u r on the phone. Once it arrives a window opens and ask for permission to install…after clicking YES, go to MENU > SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS and check "UNKNOWN SOURCES" and your good to go. Credit goes to ALAN for this fix.

@Chris49xx , if you do a factory reset, will that take applanet off my phone?

[Chris49xx]

@SIRE740 of course it does. Its a complete wipe of youre phone

[SIRE740]

@Chris49xx figured it out the hard way

[Chris49xx]

@TMShifty no it just breaks mms so you cant send picture messages. the only way to fix that is a factory reset

[TMShifty]

@Chris49xx is there a way around that

[Ranchmom]

Awesome, thanks for letting us know about the android injector. Couldn't get swype but did get to install slideit. Love my phone again :D

[memorialhigh23]

man it keep sayin no device connected and yessss the phone is on debuggin mode

[ThePeopleNumber1]

it wont work for me it says "No device connected. Please be sure your Android device is connected and USB debugging mode is enabled and try again." and i tired again and it said the same thing please answer back thank you.

[mexicanmex]

works great needed to down load htc on my comp love all the free apps , u rockkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[tomorigoto20]

it doesnt work for me whenever i try it, it always says no device connected please be sure your android device is connected and debbugging is enable and try again, i keep doing the same thing but nothing works i did the same thing as you but it doesnt work

[Chris49xx]

@zombi2213 oh yea I'm sorry that's one thing I forgot to mention :/

[Chris49xx]

@SS3Mania nope u don't lose ANY data what so ever

[Chris49xx]

@deathkiller10 nope not at all

[Chris49xx]

@EnigmoEnigmo but u can just connect the phone to the computer then put the app on the phone then just download it from there. no need to download all the drivers and stuff

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@Chris49xx the drivers are only needed in special cases. i just added that in there so a billion people wouldn't come asking why it didn't work.

[3howiie3]

@NoNamesAvailableHuh try chris48xx method

[Chris49xx]

@EnigmoEnigmo it doesny even have to be off the market. it can be any apk file

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@Chris49xx i meant if you had the apk file on the computer instead of 4shared or anything.

[GacheletHimmel]

Fantastic ... I like the video very much ;)

Question is- How can I (or is it even possible) to do this with an un-rooted Nook Color? I can get 99% of what I would want with the NC stock now. But if I could get the apps, would it be possible to do and still leave it otherwise alone?

Thx in advance if you can help - The Best 2u - C.H.

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@GacheletHimmel Hmm i havent really worked with any Nooks before, but if its on android firmware 2.2, 2.3, or 3.0 then it should work. give it a try and let me know the results

[Chris49xx]

HEY EVERYBODY!!! just go to settings-

Applications-manage applications-All-

customizable settings provider- then press clear

data-press back once-find settings-press clear

data-than you should find in applications

"unknown sources" you're welcome :)

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@Chris49xx That works too, but this is still good for 3rd party apps or apps you or someone else created and haven't uploaded it to the market.

[franzlilk9]

@Chris49xx thanks.. actually worked....

[deathkiller110]

@Chris49xx will that mess up anything like my calling, data plan, or texting when i clear data of those?

[zombi2213]

@deathkiller110 Check if you can send MMS messages. I couldn't when I did this.

[SS3Mania]

@Chris49xx you will lose all your apps???

[zombi2213]

@Chris49xx Check to see if you can send mms messages after doing that...I couldn't

[zombi2213]

@Chris49xx Caution, this method is known to break MMS. In other words, you will not be able to sent Picture messages

[TMShifty]

@Chris49xx does this mess up the phone?

[raymondfilms]

@Chris49xx wtf i thought this would fuck up my phone

haha it worked

[hotboyshaddie]

@Chris49xx does that delete any thing

[MrCrucifer]

@Chris49xx - This Method works, but it'll prevent you from changing your wallpaper/ringtone etc until a restart is done. - Once restarted it'll take a bit for "WebRoot" or "Weatherbug" etc to show up in your notification bar (Seeing as you cleared their settings - You'll have to re-sign into Webroot)

Aside from unable to send Picture Messages and the things I listed above - I didn't find anything else wrong with my phone. - HTC Inspire

[p1zl3]

Here's a workaround for the missing "Unknown Sources" option on AT&T htc Inspires:

Just type the following into Google (quotes and all) and the forum entry will come up: "[EXPLOIT] Unlock The "Unkown Sources" Option".

^I just followed the instruction and the option to accept 3rd party apps appeared. Thumbs-up if it helps you too!!!

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@p1zl3 they did an update and now You can install unknown sources. But this method works when you want to beta test an app you designed or had the file of an app exactly that you couldn't .find from the market

[p1zl3]

@EnigmoEnigmo Yeah, I updated my phone last night (both htc and at&t method) and still didn't have that option available, so this workaround was necessary for me.

I still seem to have problems making the Android Injector function properly though. It finds my device, but refuses to install any of the apps I have downloaded. The debug info is completely useless as well.

[NoNamesAvailableHuh]

@EnigmoEnigmo I just did an AT&T software update 5 mins ago and it still doesnt work >.<

[JetLife719]

Hey when I go to install an app (I chose Doodle Jump) It says "No App Files Selected"

I have it on Charge Only and have it USB Debugging Connected... Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried Charge, Mount Disk Drive, and HTC Sync

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@JetLife719 only thing i could think of is these 2 things:

1. Check to make sure its an .apk

2. The app file may be corrupt. try another Doodle Jump file.

[MyNameIsJiggy]

What drivers do u need to install? just Android Injector?



[MyNameIsJiggy]

@MyNameIsJiggy Bc it says device not connected, so idk what i did wrong :/

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@MyNameIsJiggy the HTC Sync Drivers. and i need more information than that. i need all the settings required in the video.

[ComradeNF]

Does not work for me. I followed the video exactly as you said and it says that my device is not connected.

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@ComradeNF do you have all the drivers installed?

[ComradeNF]

@EnigmoEnigmo I found the problem actually, and yes I did have my drivers installed. For some people, it does not work if you have your phone set to "Data Transfer". I switched it to HTC Sync and it worked flawlessly. Instaleld N64oid on my phone and played some Ocarina of Time.

Thanks for the video! Will send it out to all my friends with an HTC Inspire 4G (Like 20% of my school has it now that everyone found out that the iPhone sucks cock)

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@ComradeNF thanks for telling me and everyone this. I was getting sick of people just coming to the video and giving me no information and just saying "it doesnt work help".

And thanks bro. Appreciate the shoutout :)

[aaronmx47]

The app Android injector does not recognise my inspire, I checked in usb debugging and it doesn't work,, please give a solution

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@aaronmx47 do you have the drivers installed? and what form of USB connection do you have in (Mount Disk Drive, charge only, etc.)

[skipp311]

It actually worked for me. HTC Inspire 4G. Still can't download the Swype beta with it though. But still...

Thanks dude.

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@skipp311 your welcome,

but swype doesn't work because once you put the swype on the phone you have to install it. through the phone, and the dumbasses at AT&T locked the phone up so you can't do it.

but there is a video on how to install swype on the HTC Inspire. it should be in the related videos.

[captain31893]

so far, yours was the only one that worked... Thanks bro

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@captain31893 your welcome, happy to help.

[yermommy777]

this is nice, but then you hafta download the app from amazon, transfer to ur computer, then force it with android injector

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@yermommy777 what are you talking about? 

[perfect528]

Yes drivers r installed

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@perfect528 and your type of phone?

[perfect528]

Help

[perfect528]

I tried it it says no device found

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@perfect528 did you try what Chris49xx said?

[Chris49xx]

For those people who had the "USB not connected" thingy just look download HTC driver's on the HTC website. That is all

[dbleak81]

i did every thing u said i downloaded applanet now i tryin install apps off there but im getting the sercurity waring i have the htc inspire

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@dbleak81 you mean you downloaded apps to the computer right? im not very familiar with applanet.

[dbleak81]

@dbleak81 i have the htc inspire i put applanet on there but when i try to download apps from it i get the sercurity message

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@dbleak81 ok exactly what is applanet? is it a website or is it like an app market? cuz if its like a market then its not working because its a third party market.

[xoxotelle]

i tried that.... :/

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@xoxotelle hmmm...what kind of phone do you have?

[xoxotelle]

My phone says the debugging is conneceted. I did all the steps to downloading the android injector as well as the 4Shared. And when I click my file and click install to device, the injector tells me that my debugging isnt connected. Help?

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@xoxotelle hmmm...try making when the screen says "choose a connection type" chose the disk drive option.

[xXMikeXxOO7]

can u get caught?

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@xXMikeXxOO7 do you mean caught by AT&T or HTC? no. theres no way of telling that you sideloaded them. however if you get online with the apps there may be a slight chance of getting caught. but its very slim. 

[xXMikeXxOO7]

@EnigmoEnigmo Both. I did this and i worked well. I have an inspire too and i read online that you can get your phone bricked.

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@xXMikeXxOO7 the only way your phone will get bricked is if you download an app thats malicious. but malicious apps usually have more than 9 mb of data. if its more than that then i suggest not downloading it
