Rooted my Captivate...how do install programs like WIFI tetheing? Blocked?

Ok...I rooted my captivate thinking that i could install apps that are blocked on my phone, like Sirius XM, WiFI tethering.....even after rooting the programs are still being blocked and i cant install them...
am i missing something? im new to android and had an iphone that i jailbroke.....im confused on what rooting actually does i guess

this should be in the Q&A section but read the forum.
your best bet would be to flash Cognition or Tayutama's rom. Both have tethering and as far as the other apps go, I'm not sure. they may be available if all the ATT stuff is off the phone

Thread moved to Q&A.

Rooting does not enable market access, it just gives you super user abilities so that you can enable something like sideloading or wifi tethering. As stated you should just consider flashing one of the available roms that enable this stuff for you
Sent from my AOSP Captivate

You can put your phone in Airplane mode, turn on WIFI and get apps that were being blocked in the Market. I did it with PDAnet.

In the Captivate General subforum, there is a thread called "One Click De-Cripple released for Captivate to enable install of Non-Market Apps"
Please go to that thread, read the first post, and do as it tells you. You'll be installing those blocked apps in no time. Good luck!

[SCRIPT] GladEnabler v1.05 (All Rooted Phones Supported-Updated 05/12/2011)

Updated: 05/12/2011
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:
Read the directions.
Read the directions again.
Read the directions a third time. If you do not understand a step, ASK before starting.
Download the script
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.
Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development).
Connect your phone (I recommend setting USB Connection to 'None').
Run GladEnable.bat (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).
Follow the on-screen directions. You will need to tap "Allow" on your phone for each step.
Make sure you allow the superuser request on your phone or it WILL fail.
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)​

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

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.

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 ) 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?
Sent from my Moto Atrix via XDA Premium

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.

i have ran this bat file twice, no errors and it is still not working for me. i NEED to tether when i am not at work cause i have no internet at the house. if i can not get this sorted out i am going to revert to RC1 before this OTA (hope i even can do that)
please help me out here!
Win 7 64bit ran as admin
i also have an xp laptop

do you need sql-lite3 to run these.... during script it says something about sql-lite3 not found. when i look in APN i don't see a new APN so im thinking thats what im missing

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

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...

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!

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?

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 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.

Wifi tether not working (902)

okay after i came from hell and back to get my phone to update and rooted, I installed wifi tether and hacked the settings.db file and for some reason its not working this time. is there a way to wifi tether with .902 or is there an alternitive?

Not sure why you needed to make changes to settings.db. I grabbed the latest tether apk from here and, once rooted with the new method on .902, wifi tether just worked. No other changes were needed.

[Problem] Wifi isnt working after "rooting" I9305

Hello there everyone, total noob here.
I have tried to "root" my S3 LTE using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cf-root-cwm-recovery-ported-supersu-t1914394 (or more likely this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45291825&postcount=306 ). Everything went great, Odin has shown a pass and it was successful while installing CWM, then I installed Supersu through CWM (only thing I did differently was putting a supersu zip file on internal storage) and that was a success too. I did everything like it said, even without plugging out my phone. After rebooting everything went down...
1. Knox is blocking SuperSU, someone reccmmended that I should have tried to disable it by installing supersu.apk manually, but then it has shown a popup that supersu doesnt have access to binary files. I have checked with root checker and it said that device isnt rooted...
It wouldnt bother me much, because having root isnt necessity for me, but...
2. I cannot access internet via wifi. It connects to router, signal is pretty decent, but still, when I try to use a build-in browser/chrome it just doesnt connect. Nevertheless, I can connect via 3/4g with no problems at all.
Now, I dont have root AND internet access.
Other info that might me useful:
Android 4.3
Null IMEI: no
Baseband: i9305XXUEMK1
I have performed factory reset, still no use.
Any help regarding repairing wifi, getting root access or bringing back state before "rooting" would be appreciated.
Regards,
Maziu92.

Just download the "SuperSU version 2.02" apk and install it. Its provided in this thread. (its newer than whats currently on Google play)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-i9305-cwm-philz-twrp-versions-t2694249
It will ask to disable KNOX. select YES.

The best thing i can suggest you is moving to the new 4.4.4 Stock Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
Use Odin v3.07
and then (if u want) root it using "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5."
and install "SuperSU version 2.02"

Oh, I did it, that's why it said the binary was missing. But I did it other way around:
1. I have flashed CWM like it said in second link provided in first post
2. Installed SuperSU 2.02 from zip file on internal card though CWM instead of file provided in thread (I could have installed remove-boot-recovery too, but I didnt notice that I needed that. Anyway, I did that later)
3. Rebooted and tried to turn on - supersu was still blocked by knox :/ BUT!
4. I have installed manually supersu.apk, then opened it via installator (important! Dont tap 'done' but 'run'!) and next I didnt get the "missing binary" popup but if I want to disable KNOX. Well, yeah, I do, so I tapped OK and it looped and looped... http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2a92qq/supersu_stuck_disabling_knox/cisq087 found this soulution and it worked (reboot phone and start supersu again). Sorry about my short memory, but I think I needed to install supersu.apk manually again and tap disable once more time, but disabling KNOX took a few seconds.
5. And then I went to the settings in Supersu and tapped option 'install supersu into /system', rebooted and it worked fine!
5.a To make sure it really works I downloaded (via 3g ) Root checker and it said it is rooted.
So now I have root, yaay, but still no Wifi access :/

I have been using odin 3.07.
Really, It is the only way to get back wifi? Are there any other options apart this?
Nooby questions:
-will it work with my phone? It says that its "MODEM: I9305XXUFNI3" and mine is XXUEMK1.
-in the meantime I have read about efs files/folder, what are they for and should I somehow backup them?
-while flashing 4.4.4 it is possible that my IMEI will go null?
-will it be possible to go back to 4.3?
I dont want to brick it or anything, thats why I am asking.
And of course, thanks for your help, Tharinduwijewardane ^^
Edit:
Actually, I have managed to repair my WIFI connection without flashing new rom etc.... So what was wrong, you will ask? Me.
I have downloaded adblock (before factory reset) and it asked to connect via proxy, so I did. And then I have disabled it because it was blocking SuperSU along with KNOX. And my phone tried to connect with internet via proxy, but it couldnt, because of this configuration.
Found this by complete coincidence (my GF told me to check if I get connection though Chrome and it said that it cant connect because of proxy settings). It is strange that this configuration was still there, even after factory reset.
Oh well, case solved, thanks again for helping and even everyone else for checking this out^^

glad to hear u got it fixed.

[SOLVED] HotSpot Broken After Rooting

So I did a factory reset and flashed the rooted H811 system image exactly as per instructions from the other thread and everything has been working flawlessly, except my HotSpot. When I try to turn on the Mobile Hotspot, I get a pop-up saying "Unfortunately, WiFi has stopped" and the ON/OFF toggle for the HotSpot stays off. Then, when I try to turn it on again, this time I get a toast notification saying "Activity is not exist this device." So it looks like it's looking for an application that's missing?
EDIT: SOLVED! Do not freeze the Upsell (com.lge.upsell) application, as that's what HotSpot uses to verify your tethering status with T-Mobile, as well as display the first time use tutorial.
It has nothing to do with recovery. It was my own mistake.

No issues for me so far with hotspot. I even have all the apps you listed frozen in TB.

Mine works fine also. Not sure what the problem could be.

now that we are rooted i am using wifi tether router by fabio and it works great. also bypasses tmobiles limit which i believe is 2 gbs or so of tethering. costs 2 bucks but imo its totally worth it

I just tried it on my G4 and didn't have any issues. I'm also on tmobile and rooted.

I figured out what was wrong. I tried flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 using Flashify (as per instructions in the post!) and I think it flashed the recovery to the wrong partition, wiping its contents. I guess it was a hidden system partition that contained something that HotSpot needed.
I KDZ'd back to stock without wiping user data, then flashed the rooted image, and HotSpot works!
So... DO NOT USE FLASHIFY FOR NOW!

Same here with no issues.

I can't seem to find the com.lge.upsell application, I'm getting this error after typing:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0
I just want my unlimited tethering back ;__;

Flashed 10n update on my rooted H811, no problems with hotspot. If the other thread you're referencing is from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-10n-stock-rooted-rom-t3188858), it has been updated with a hotspot fix on a separate file.

restoring com.lge.upsell, fixed it for me as well. Thanks,

I have the same problem! After rooting (with 20p debloated unlocked roam), the hotspot is not working with the message "Activity is not exist this device." (verbatim!). The interesting part is that when I installed FoxFi, it worked! Of course it stopped after 15 minutes as it was a freeware. When FoxFi was running, I could see that native Hotspot app showed my mac as a tethered device and everything seemed very natural (besides the blue FoxFi logo on top). On uninstalling FoxFi, native HotSpot app started giving the same error message. I could not find Upsell (com.lge.upsell) app or apk on my phone. Please advise - I would like to continue using the native HotSpot app with my T-Mobile connection. Many thanks!

Can you share this APK please?
UPDATE: Went to recovery mode using flashify, downloaded zips using Android File Transfer from my mac, Flashed Stock 20p, followed by Extreme 20p (both flashed at the same time) and voila! Tether is back to work and I am giving this update through my phone's tether connection
The speeds are not so great, but I am tempted to blame it on T-Mobile and not on ROM:
The whole research and finding the zip files for 20p took the majority of time. Otherwise, the download itself should take <20 minutes, transferring files <5 min, flashing another 10 minutes and restart of the phone another 5 minutes or so (it is a dirty flash - it only bothered to update some 5 apps!)
I think it is corrupted ROM (I positively remember there was a glitch for whatever reason and i lost all my data - probably the glitch deleted relevant tether files as well). But now it is much easier!!!

glad you found your way to it.
this was the issue I had. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62060665&postcount=8.
I had uninstalled com.lge.upsell as part of my own try to de-bloat and that was a step too far.
The 1st link you point to is the rom I used and the radio fix and hotpot/tether fix as well.
