Root Rooted, but not entirely???

[ryandelman]

Here's the problem:

I have Superuser access but for some reason still can't open the trillian.adk file I downloaded yesterday.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Ryan

*Also, I'm using Astro File Manager to attempt opening the Trillian file, but still no dice...

do you mean apk instead of adk?

You need to go into settings -> Applications and tick install from unknown sources. But I heard that AT&T disabled it.

There are 2 ways.

1. The Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine - Android Forums

2. http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/124738-how-enable-sideloading-apps-captivate.html

I would try the side loader first.

Well, i tried option #1 and got an error message saying something like "loader.bat is not recognized file extension...". Any thoughts on this?

If you have the SWM program.... open the folder. Click properties on any file there.... highlight the location and copy it.... Now open a command prompt.

Start-Run- now type "cmd" without quotes


a command window should appear.

Now type

cd "the place where you copied" ------Paste the info after cd and space bar are pressed


it should look like this
cd C:\Documents and Settings\Frank\Desktop\AC-SWM

now type "su" without quotes
it will look like

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Frank\Desktop\AC-SWM
su
#
if you have SU permission then it will look like that. If you get a an error. Open Super User Permission on your phone. click anything thats there, and click forget. Now Go to Busy Box, and reinstall.


Though I am not really good with commands and stuff...I have gotten this far, and loaded stuff. After just about every error.
