I just tried downloading and installing the new Android Market. The apk downloaded when I clicked install it stated unknown source.
I read somewhere about a check box but my phone does not have this check box. So how do I fix the problem?
Help please.

go into settings > applications > there should be a checkbox there if you are rooted and running a deodex rom.
I am not rooted. I am on a stock rom.

Look for your phone in the forums, there should be plenty of guides on how to do it

Look for "Gladroot" or "Gingerbreak"...
The "adb install" method should work too.
You will need GladEnabler for sideloading. This is what will give you the "unknown sources" checkbox. Rooting does not give you sideloading.
You will however require root before you can use GladEnabler.
Follow the Gingerbreak instructions to gain root. Look for Gingerbreak.exe at the bottom of the 1st post. This is the easiest way to use Gingerbreak. You can also use adb if you are comfortable with it per the instructions.
Note: You will lose everything on your internal sdcard when you use Gingerbreak, so backup up anything on the internal sdcard which you do not want to lose. You can just copy and paste the files to your external sdcard or a pc, then copy and paste the files back afterwards.
I have a bone stock, unrooted, Atrix.......and the download worked for me....I was very surprised, because of the not being able to sideload.....but it did ask first, if I wanted to download and replace, because it is a system app.....but works great, but not sure how much i like the new look......still getting used to it.....
Do they have a mac version?

You will have to search for that. I don't know myself.
Just looked at Sideload Wonder Machine also, and it is for Windows.
There may be something else for Mac which will allow you to sideload like that does on Windows.
<edit> Found it for Mac. Will post download link for you shortly.
<edit2> Ok, here it is ------> Installer Script. Website link ------> http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/24362-sideload-wonder-machine-linux-mac.html.
I believe you don't even need root for this to work with minimal functionality. You will need root because Market is a system app. You have to join the community to get access yourself to the downloads. Hope this helps you out!

Just find a PC and do it.
If done correctly, it takes about five minutes.
Or try bootcamp.

Its not hard at all . Just download it and put the folder in the root of your harddrive .
I'm just having problems with the Samsung drivers and wondering if I have to flash back to stock before I can install drivers.

Yeah, just download it... It's less than 30MB. Make your instal path as short as possible. Try adb devices to test if you have it set up right and it sees your phone.
Got my atrix today. Still tryna get used to a 4 inch screen. Havent rooted yet (usually root my devices the second they get there first charge) but seems as if everything is beta rite now. Question though, would the updated motoblur launcher work without root? Like sidload the apk?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
use gingerbreak to root and the launcher probably wont work, havnt seen anyone mention it anyway
No you cant sideload apps out of the box. You first need to root with gingerbreak method and then use the gladenable script to enable sideloading.

I was thinking of using the side loading wonder machine. And to root,dont I have to rsd sbf 1.8.3 first? Anyways,thanks for the answers

Congrats! Ateix is a great device. Easiest way to install Nonmarket apps is to go to Android store n purchase "Non Market apps Enabler" created by fellow member here. Only costs 1 dollar somethn. Enables the checkbox n options to enable non market app installs. Works instantly. No side loading n all that needed. Saves a ton of Time n hassle. I got it n was installing non market apps instantly with it!
If its a UK spec one, you can side load without doing anything... Otherwise rooting will be required

i used sideload wonder machine for the apks of gameloft games. works really well.
So, I have 2.3 via the store and am considering going back to 2.2 so I can root and use a different ROM. The problem and my reason for posting is I cannot get sdk to install properly. I run it and it tries to update everything but fails and won't allow me to connect to my phone. Now do I need temproot before this will work or am I not installing it correctly? I have read a bunch of tutorials but haven't seen this issue come up. All help is appreciated.

have you tried installing just the ADB drivers? TrueBlue_drew has a great walk though. Link in my signature.

Windows requires administration privileges to download and install things on the SDK. Try right-clicking on the icon and selecting Run as Administrator.
OK, couldn't get it rolled back (lady was retarded on the phone) so what do I do now? I ran as admin and it looked for updates and such but found no virtual drives. Will anyone be willing to walk me through this over the phone?
OK! Got adb working now. How do I roll back? LOL I will be searching but in the meantime if you wanna add something, I would appreciate it.

Do you have an antivirus program running on your PC? I think that restricts rageagainstthecage.

Yup. If all else fails...you can odin clockwork mod and find the superuser zip.

I suggest you freeze your antivirus for an hour , redownload one click cwm and try again. Once your antivirus finds the file it deletes it so if you try to root you won't find the file.

Anti virus buggin out. Disable it while you download, unzip and root the phone.

You do not need to unlock the boot loader to root.
I used the app in the following thread to root and am also on .30...

Yes. You need to have a PC. It is to be done in recovery mode IIRC.
Good luck with the rooting.

Sadly a PC is required with this method, but after reading all the root threads on here, I decided it was the easiest method and worked a treat for many
Just don't make the same error I did... don't connect the tablet to the dock and then USB on the dock to the PC, use the use charging cable supplied with the charger and connect the tablet to the PC via it, otherwise Windows wont see it...
Make sure you have the drivers installed too!
OK but how exactly u do this...I already downloaded the zip file on PC and pluged tablet...it installed drivers but last one ...says waiting for input and I got some options saying 1.locate and install driver
2.ask me again later 3. Don't show this message again
I click #1
Now what?

It said I had to restart computer so it could update this setting...where do I unzip/run the zip file?

Best to read the full thread I linked to, but make sure you have USB debugging enabled on the tf300 under developer options in settings...
From what I remember, I just unzipped the downloaded file to a folder, opened the folder and ran the .bat and it did the rest.
To get the correct drivers installed, I just installed Asus sync from the Asus support site, but make sure it is not running when you run the .bat.
I had the same issue, I think I installed the Android Development Kit and rebooted a couple times and it just decided to work after that. Soo, hope that helps?

Just did it, with the newest version from his skydrive account.
The only thing, I had to change USB mode from drive to camera-something in order for the ADB to detect the device..
My only reason to do it, was to get:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25286407
and I must say it's like a totally new device... Finally I can use the browser on "heavy" sites without ANR's..
Got it root..thank guys!!!

Long story short, it makes the stock browser a lot faster, by using ram as cache instead of the disk.
