1. place the .apk in C:/AndroidSDK/tools on your PC
2. connect phone to to PC via USB, do not mount, make sure debugging is on.
3. type these commands in command prompt in order:
cd\
cd AndroidSDK\tools\
adb devices
adb push nameof.apk /system/app
.......and youre done
keep in mind, when typing the the name of the apk in the command, it IS case sensitive.
also, im sure its the correct version, but even if its not, it wont mess anything up. just uninstall if it isnt.
Also, if you have root explorer, you can just copy and paste the apk to /system/app
good luck
Thank you so much! i really appreciated it TopShelf. iused the root explorer method as i couldnt get the sdktools going for some reason. took me some time to figure out i had to mount to r/w too bu ti got it. thanksagain!

cant get webtop on hdmi need more help!

Ok i need to give this one more shot and then im giving up!
I am unable to get webtop to work thru wifi, only the other services, and that is how i got my phone on ebay with alien4.
I have tried the methods shown but i dont understand a couple things.
what files i actually need for 4.5.91 and where exactly to put them?
What commands to use in adb as there seem to be differences, i'm pretty sure i dont need the odex as they dont work.
do i need to give rw permission myself or do the commands shown in the thread do that?
I would appreciate it if someone could give me some step by step noob instructions as i think i'm missing something?
Thanks!

Nook Tablet "One Click Root" - MERGED WITH INDIRECT'S ROOT - THREAD CLOSED

MOD EDIT : As requested by OP, I'm closing this thread.
Everyone can continue the rooting related discussions on the other thread linked here. Full root for Nook Tablet. [11/20/11] [Yes this is a permanent root!].
All,
Here is a "one click" script to root your Nook Tablet AND install gapps (Market) all in one shot. It also includes the latest superuser binary and apk (automatically installed). MAD PROPS to Indirect for being the first to get root on the NT. This script builds off of his (and others) work to make it a bit easier.
I need people to test this. That being said, RUN THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. It may work perfectly, or it may explode your Nook. You've been warned!
1. Download and extract the zip file located at https://rapidshare.com/files/3156164791/NT-One-Click-Root-by-anlog.zip (PLEASE MIRROR THE FILE FOR ME SO YOU DON'T KILL MY DROPBOX ACCOUNT).
2. Factory reset your Nook Tablet (just do it).
3. Run Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit). Sorry Mac and Linux, but that's not my arena.
4. Enable USB debugging and sideloading on your Nook (download an APK and try to install it with package manager. Hit settings and set the options). YOU MUST uncheck "auto mount USB" or debugging won't activate. There are also two checkboxes for debugging and staying awake - make sure both are set. DO NOT REBOOT your Nook once you enable these settings.
5. Plug in your Nook and point Windows to search for the drivers in the usb_drivers directory from the etracted file. The driver has been modified to work with the Nook Tablet and you don't need to mess with any adb.ini stuff. It's ready to go.
6. Once the driver loads, make sure you have a device called "ADB Composite Device" (or something similar) in Device Manager. As long as you don't have an item called "Nook Tablet" with an exclamation point, you're good. Once you are plugged in, check the status bar on your Nook and make sure USB debugging is enabled (there will be a little robot indicator).
7. This step is optional, since it is run at the beginning of the script, but you can open a command prompt AS ADMINISTRATOR and go to the folder where you extracted your files and run "adb devices". It should list your Nook serial number. If it doesn't, start over.
8. Run a command prompt as Administrator and then run the NookTabRoot.bat file to root your tablet and install gapps. Your tablet will automatically restart once the script finishes.
This script is ALPHA and probably won't work, but that's why I need people to test. If anyone finds a way to make it better, please feel free to modify it (as long as you credit me and Indirect).
Good luck!
MIRROR 1 - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7364988/NT-One-Click-Root-by-anlog.zip
Thanks a lot, this is going to be quite helpful.
anlog, can you please remove the rooting script from yours as it will make it harder for me to provide support if they are in your thread as well. Im happy the gapps is there but I really don't want aanyone to be missed when they need help.
Note: Seriously not trying to be a **** but this is the early stages of rooting and I would HATE for someones system to be completely screwed and I don't know they need help.
P.S.: Just link to the original root thread saying you must have rooted before you proceed with this script.
After that, I'll happily help you work on this script and offer support for this as well.

Your root method is not easy enough for the average user, which is why I've posted this.
I'm not removing anything. It's up to the community to decide if they want to try my script or not. I will host it and setup my own mirrors if I have to.

Sorry to see you cave in so easily...
I'm not being disrespectful but my script really isn't too complicated. I was working on rewriting the thread anyway I just haven't gotten the time yet until now. I've been out all day.
This early in the process, it is great having multiple ways to achieve root.
Can't you each add a disclaimer in your package "If you use this method to root, don't use any other method without doing a full factory reset first" or whatever words would be appropriate?
Mostly - don't get ticked at each other.
It's not a multiple way, it's verbatim my script with his added to it.
This is not a glory or recognition thing. This is something that I think will greatly help the community of average users with little to no experience with things like ADB or Unix commands.
Many every day users are discovering XDA and it can be very difficult for them to navigate through the forums and find what they are looking for. My goal is to make it really easy.
The script will not blow up your Nook. The worst thing that can happen is that it just doesn't work.
Not sure what else to say, but this "only one user is allowed to help people root" nonsense doesn't work for me, nor the rest of the community. Sorry Indirect. If it helps, I've credited you at the beginning of my script.
OK - then I would say don't include an early version of a root script except by reference... Let the original author handle the bugs and enhancements.
I dont see a problem with useing each others method as long as the appropriate credit is given when you use someone else's work in your own.

You mean your script with a bunch of STANDARD adb commands in it? Not exactly rocket science. Did you write zergrush? No, but you used it (and credited them accordingly).
"Your script" <-- I atleast want people to ask permission before blindly taking my work in the first place. I didn't say this is released under public domain for anyone to use, I would like you to ask before. Use it, whatever but seriously, It kind of upsets me that you didn't bother checking with me if it was alright to atleast use my script. If anyone wants support, come to this thread if you use it. I am not able to help you as I did not develop the addition to this.

YOUR SCRIPT IS A BUNCH OF STANDARD ADB COMMANDS. That means that 100% of all other ADB scripts out there use elements from the script you pieced together from other scripts.
Get over it. You obivously only care about recognition. My only goal is to help other people.
anlog, you have clearly not seen any of my other work. I'm not in it for recognition, I need to know if something goes wrong at all and if so, what caused it. That's it.

Enjoy this script anlog, I appreciate your help finding the driver fix and be sure to reference me in your thread as well for proper credits. Enjoy your evening, I'm no longer debating about this as it's stupid. I think we can both agree on that.
And before you think I'm just being a ****, I wrote a script for the evo shift that was ridiculously advanced for the job JUST to make it so people can't screw it up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277793 <-- read about it there.
okay, so not to get in the middle of anything, I will say I've successfully rooted my nook tablet with the original method. didn't have any luck installing the android market (and getting it running).
as such, I've done a factory restore and have downloaded the script here.
as someone who is fairly computer literate, but is VERY new to rooting (short of 1 click root), I will take the shortest path possible. no loss of credit to indirect. please guys, all your work is recognized.
will report back shortly.

Dude we need people like you to build off other's work. We both agree that if there is a super easy way to root and get Market, more people will buy the NT. From the second I started this thread you were credited in the first line of my script. I will also credit you in the beginning of this thread. I am NOT about stealing other people's work. Your work here is GREATLY appreciated!

Sorry for getting annoyed and worked up but I already had to play "Dueling Batch Scripts" in the evo shift section when mine was CLEARLY superior to the other ones by far because I was still developing it. :| So again, my apologies for losing my head but don't wait too long for my REAL script to be thrown together sometime tonight and blow yours out of the water.

It is only v1.x so it is sure to have some errors.
If you find any, post them here If i don't respond to them then PM me.
I will try to find and fix as fast as possible.
This comes with all of the files that you will need.
Windows only.
You *may* need to install ADB here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You will need to download most of the stuff and install it once you get it.
For anyone who doesn't get any devices found before or after the reboot into fastboot. Make sure you have the HTC drivers installed. Get HTC sync from their site then simply open and run the installer then close the HTC sync process. It tends to interfere with your connection and you want the drivers not the program.
My program is now likely to brick your device. It hasn't bricked anyone's yet and probably won't ever. It's 99% noob proof.
DO NOT CHANGE THIS PROGRAM AND CALL IT YOUR OWN!!!!!!!!
SCAN FOR VIRUSES IF YOU WANT TO. THERE ARE NONE.
v1.0 Initial Release DONT USE EXE FILE DOESNT WORK. WONT EXECUTE THE ADB AND FASTBOOT CMDS
http://www.mediafire.com/?74332s36tjs335q
v1.2 Fixed many issues, tested with new device
http://www.mediafire.com/?hs2aurm5e81b1ke
v1.3 Added input options and a new menu. DO NOT USE. CRASHING ERROR!!!!

v1.4 Fixed stability, did a few tweaks.
http://www.mediafire.com/?g32bzcf8g1eke9z
v1.5 Very refined, 99% working.
http://www.mediafire.com/?h11mllw3e67zvsq
v1.7 Added a utility and custom command menu, cleaned up menu. BIG DIFFERENCE!
http://www.mediafire.com/?5keazk7z6ew3cpl
Added custom command line. Use cust then command will be entered from the unlocker folder. Experimental*
v1.8 Fixed color issues, cleaned up root folder.

Future:
Executable file. No
Fancy GUI. Future
Walkthrough and Individual steps. Yes
Kernels, Recoverys and more.... Somewhat
*need help*
*side note* I want to make a gui version but I can only code bat. Would appreciate help :/
For quick contact, Skype me, im "Fenguepay"
EDIT---
Apparently this was not as easy to use as I intended. Here are some quick instructions to get you started.
1. Who is responsible for damage? You are. The answer to the question is "me"
2. You should now be on the menu. From here, if you are a noob/trying to unlock, do 1 and follow the whole process. It should explain it well, and i know it works i rooted a new device in around 5 minutes.
3. If you wan to flash another recovery, use the "util" option at the menu, select recovery and drop your recovery into the recoveries folder. From here you just type its name.
4. If you want to use a custom command that is launched from the root folder, use "cust" this makes it so you do not have to use "cd c:/Android". For ease of use.
5. If the process does not work, i know for sure there are other tutorials on xda and other sites. I am not a 100% pro at this.

I'm sure your script will run. I'll probably end up running it when I need to. Just don't feel like going through the process right now. We do appreciate the tool though.
I did a few changes, this program works perfectly now
Good Job on the program. Choices are always good
I don't want to sound like a total noob but I was hoping for some instructions. I have rooted the D1 and the Charge but I am kind of lost here. Do I need to do the HTC Unlock first?
Thanks,
Brad
Originally, when I was going to make a toolkit, I was going to make one like yours but I opted out and believed the GUI style is easier to use and understand. Never-the-less, there are more choices for people and I give you props! Great job!
if you start with one, it does a full guide, read the notes. It does the commands for you but you need to go to the website
Becuaswe of how its set up, you will need to use internet explorere with htcdev idk y but once you are there amde an account, select the rezound, SKIP THE FIRST 2 PAGES,MY PROGRAM DID THAT FOR YOU. And just follow the text selection on the 3rd page. From there you will get the email unlock_code fiel and put it in the folder.
Hope this works for you

Thanksfor the good feedback, i was expecting hate, thats what i got whne i made a text guide. I tried to amke it noob friendly with a brief explanation. Also, i only know how to code bat, I could do a project with you if you taught me c++ of java. I would love to know how. But bat is my only option. I actually looked into c++ for a project like this with a cool gui.
We could make a beta/2.x version with a gui.
Thats if you know hwo to code.

Is there a mode where it does a walkthrough or not. And is it all compiled or is there a folder?

[solved] Get VoLTE running! (modem config files H930 EU SD835 mcfg_sw.mbn wanted!)

There's a guide thread now in Guide section, use that one pls as this one isn't detailed enough and the other one has some more instructions, e.g. for backing up the files and partitions we work with!
thanks to user @Krekos/CZ/ these files are available for everyone now find them in his post here (or attached on this post) and give him a thx pls :highfive: :cyclops:
original OP text:
Im on testing sessions regarding volte and at least got that far, that the IMS server in hidden menu can be configured (wasn't accessible before my edits). but I'm stuck for now: I by accident deleted following folder which contains the modem config files for different operators. Looks like they are on the EFS partition, as a kdz and standalone-modem reflash didn't help, unfortunately:
Code:
/firmware/image/modem_pr/mcfg/configs
pls, can someone with a true H930 rooted EU OPEN phone (I've bought mine via telefonica O2 Germany) help me and zip and upload this special folder for me? would be appreciated very very much!! I don't want to find out what happens when I reboot my phone now xD maybe unfixable bootloop...
noone...? come on, this is a 3-5 minutes job deleting takes only 2 secs as i know now... but w/o these files no modem config is possible, phone could be useless on next reboot. so, pls pls...
btw: no personal data stored in these directories. there are only config files for different operators inside, nothing else. mcfg_sw.mbn files, you can google for their function and have a look at them on your phone. easiest way for zipping them would be "root explorer", it offers this function, and tar compressing too. hm, when i think about it, tar would be better format

wonderful!! if we get this working you're my hero
in twrp there's no way to get them, this has to be done in fully booted android system. you have got terminal emulator app installed? the command would be
Code:
tar -czf /sdcard/modem.tar.gz /firmware/image/modem_pr/mcfg/configs
the resulting file can be found in root dir of sdcard then. maybe it's small enough so you can attach it on your answering post, otherwise maybe using google drive or androidfilehost is needed.
double post, sry...
It's strange but i cannot compress these files. It always tell me, i dont have privilegies for that. I try severel Emulators. I also try TotalCommander App with root privilegies, and copy the files manually, but i ended with error aswell.
ouch... did you type "su" to give the terminal emulator root privileges before trying?
I got it! I finally found emulator which compress the files. i dont know why previous apps didnt work but w/e.
Here it is: https://goo.gl/Qk293b
yay!!!!! it worked, the files are back! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!! you saved my h930 thanks again! :good::highfive::victory:
hmm, is it okay for you when i attach this zip on the first post with big fat credits to you? maybe someone else needs these mbn files for his SD835 device at some time?
I have no problem with it. you can attach it.
thx, again
...aaaand: volte (and vowifi; don't know for sure about viwifi and vt/vilte. sms over wifi/volte needs to be tested too) is up and running! LoL... o2 wasn't able to help me in four service hotline sessions and two visits in their store. really funny as they told me every time "absolutely no way, sry. we can't do this (send some infos or activate volte in account [was already activated, it worked all the time with my s7flat]), we can't do that (flash something to get this working) and so on. k, this took me an serious amount of time my kids and wife weren't really happy and proud of, but hey, there are priorities, or not? hrhr...
is there a need for a guide for everyone? maybe I get a guide up and running. problem for now is, I don't know for sure which edits are really needed and essential. this will be a guide we need to work out all together to finally see which steps are necessary for a newbie and starter. let's see, would take some time but should be possible. when five ppls in this thread are telling "yes we want this guide, let's do this together!" then I'll do it
would've not been possible w/o the help from @Krekos/CZ/ I'm really happy he helped out! :good:
I would like to try this feature and you're welcome.
Nice one. So vollte will be available for every gsm operator on stock rooted rom?
