Just got a new Captivate, tried to load up some of my emulators on it. When I tried to install via ES File Explorer, it says:
"Install Blocked
For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market."
How do I get around this? Thanks in advance.
You need root or a custom rom
Depending on what Android version you're on, you can check Allow installation of non-Market apps in System Settings
it is running 2.2. Where in settings is this, I have looked and I don't see it.
Oh I don't think that works with 2.2. I think you will need to root your Captivate.

bad advice as usual. root not necessary.
if you want to keep a stock phone, upgrade to the new stock att firmware for the captivate.
upgrade to att gingerbread. it has a setting for non-market apps. go to samsung site and download the update program (keis)
this is a feature of ALL rogers firmwares. Dont get me wrong, keis is garbage!! complete SH!T. but its the easiest route to obtain what you want without a steep learning curve.
When I click on Kies when I hook up a data cable, all it says is "connected" and nothing else happens. Can you provide a little more detail?
AT&T can push that upgrade to your phone (they did it for me).
Call the AT&T support line, tell them you have a Captivate on Android 2.2 and you need to have the "non-market apps" (or "unknown sources") feature enabled. They can push it to your phone from their end.
Once the push is complete, restart the phone and you should have the feature enabled.
Simplest way, use enclosed one click de-cripple.exe.
how do you use this file? I know I sound like a dumbass, but I have been using a tablet for the last year with no problem. Please let me know what I need to do with this? Thanks
first off, you have a stock phone with a stock rom, you havnt flashed any custom roms, right? if so get kies mini. when you open it it should show something similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
when you plug your phone in, the button should gain color and be clickable, at which point you follow the on screen instructions. if that does not work, you will need to get the drivers for the captivate. all this software is available directly from samsung.
if kies still doesnt see your phone after the drivers then post back and we will get some more info goin on in this thread.
once on kk4, the latest official release, go to settings, applications, and check unknown sources. you should then be able to install non market apps.

Hey there - I just bought my wife a used Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (I9000M) and it came with a custom rom / cwm recovery already installed - now I'd keep it as it seems to work ok, but since it's for my Wife, I'd rather just return it to stock as she doesn't need all the custom rom enhancements I don't think.
What i'd like to do is return it to a stock Samsung ROM - or at least something really close to stock. (Something that has all the stock Samsung apps maybe?) I'm not familiar at all with the rom that's on there so it may be the best one available, I have no idea. This is my Wife's first Android phone and I'd rather not turn her off of it because of some custom roms issues.
My problem is that I'm not sure how to go back. I've read a bunch of articles on here and I just got confused since there are so many different modems and regions, or whatever. I'm not a total noob with custom roms, I've put dozens on my Dell Streak, but the Samsung seems to be a bit more complicated (to me at least). If someone could help me by listing the steps required to go back to stock or if they can recommend an optimized stock rom, something like that, I'd really appreciate it.
Here's what I have on there now...

and there you have to pick the file with UGJL2 firmware, download, doubleclick to extract it and then just follow the instructions in the thread fireburn postet.have fun
I run doc 9.9.5 myself, JS8 2.2.1 is a better ROM than JL2 2.2 and the speedmod kernel is also better than stock...but whatever.
I have all the Samsung stock apps on mine (not the Bell ones, don't really need them unless you pay a ton for mobile TV), but whoever cooked that one up might have left them off.
Thanks a lot folks! I might just look at possibly cooking another rom that has all the standard apps in it.
I did notice something that doesn't work in my current ROM, when I connect the USB cable, the option to mount the sd memory as a mass storage device isn't available. Does anyone else have that issue (or have you seen it before)? Do you think cooking a new ROM up in the kitchen would resolve that or do I have to go back to stock for that feature?
Thanks,
Steve
Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Don't know what setting it could be on now but change it to 'mass storage'
Sorry if this comes off as noobish but is there anyway to flash over to stock Gingerbread (and eventually to a custom rom) w/o the use of Odin? I've tried to search but didn't really see anything that clarified this for me. My phone just doesn't want to work with ODIN at all...it will pick it up every once in awhile but only when the phone is powered completely on. I've installed, deleted, reinstalled drivers/kies etc. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me resolve this issue!

you can give heimdall a try, but if you are talking about a cwm flash then no, you cannot. flashing bootloaders in cwm is WAY more risky than using odin or heimdall.
My main issue is that I cant keep my laptop to recognize my phone in the first place...like I said earlier, I tried various drivers including the ones from Samsung and Softpedia...And whenever I do get it to respond, it wont recognize it in download mode at all...thanks though...the only thing that I haven't really tried was a new cable...will be purchasing one later...I feel so left behind on my roms lol. I was able to flash Froyo with no prob...now its so many out that I can't get my hands on...
I would try thee drivers from dg (designgears ) thread in development. It also might recognize better from stock also.

I'm in the same situation from time to time on my work laptop. Not sure it's gonna mather for your situation but i found that if i undock and redock the computer Odin then recognize the phone again when it goes foobar. (I only use the laptop usb port and not the docking station ones).
Alright, I have had my Tab for nearly a month, but never bothered trying to physically shuffle data from my pc or my seagate goflex satellite hdd.
If I plug the satellite into my tab, nothing happens. It can't see the drive. This means that the only way to get anything is through the wireless AP built into the harddrive. This is frustrating if I want to physically move files, not just stream.
If I plug my tab into my win7-64 laptop, again NOTHING happens. The drivers validated, windows says it understands that it is there, but I cannot mount the hdd on the tab, nor can I even see that it is there except for "drivers installed".
What the hell do I do?
Getting all sorts of pissed!
Do I need to root my tab first or something? Put a different OS-mod on it?
Install Kies....
There is no Kies for PC. t_t It's MAC only.
It's definitely not mac only.

Mac version is relatively new, it's been there for Windows for months before that. And, to be honest, Kies is Samsung own software to manage devices, even my mother's Corby installed that horrible thing.

Open samsung webpage. Download kies for window. Install it and you are good to go

Be sure before saying such ****!!
There it's a windows version of lite in usa. The full version is international but can be downloaded and installed on windows. Problem its not for x64. That it what I am on and when I try to connect it says put device in kies mode. Called support and that is what they told me.
Could be wrong but I gave up. Even setup into dev mode but still did not work.
I don't think you should need it for external drive as mine came right up . I was told needed it for root.
You absolutely don't need it for root, and couldn't use it for drive mapping. Win 7 has native drivers to communicate with tab.
Settongs, applications, development ---> check debugging.
Then connect to your pc.

So it still hasn't hit me yet that my Vivid is unlocked...but it is! Awesome!
Any who I rooted the Vivid right afterwards using Superoneclick root/another program (involving Zergerush) and superuser is installed and able to give out permissions to certain apps.
I immediately installed SetCpu which seems to be working fine but when I tried installing Wireless tether/WiFi tether/Barnacle nothing would budge when trying to connect devices onto my phone.
Am I missing a step?
Others on the same boat?
Thanks for any input!
EDIT: The Binary updater seems to be outdated BUT it has problems updating..?

Did you reboot after rooting it,
Yes. I already rebooted the device but to no success with Wireless tether =/
An issue with SetCPU?
I know my phone lost all phone and data connectivity when I used SetCPU and had my LCD Density set to anything under 220...
maybe it's related.
i tried ALL of the wifi tether apk's and NONE of them would work.. ultimately i just installed a different kernel and rom so i could just use the native app instead. works great.
It was kind of discussed here already.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415240
I'm in the same boat. Installed different versions of the Wireless Tether for Root. Though my computer can connect, there's no internet access and my phone doesn't recognize the computer as connected (doesn't show up on the access control page). Any help?

Your best bet would be to install a different ROM and kernel and use the built in tether. Works fine on the few different ROMs I've used.
I just read a post from another Vivid thread that Wifi tethering does not work on a Stock Rom even if you are rooted. Wonder why that is?

It's because the phone is still "stock". The ability to use tethering is something that is built into other ROMs. At least for the built in app, that is. Never tried any of the 3rd party apps.
It's My Galaxy S Plus specs.

My phone automatically turns itself off and won't power back on per day or sometimes restarts automaticaly. It's not rooted.
You are kindly requested to tell me what's the best Official and also the best and bug-free custom Rom for my Device. Also I'm interested to upgrade its version to 4.2.1 or 4.2.2
Tnx.
First you have to plug it on your pc open kies and let it update. You have android 2.3.3 and the recent one from samsung is 2.3.6..
Then get over to the correct section, pick a rom u like, download and follow instuctions
