It would appear that even on the website (which shows At&T blocked apps) that the sideloading wonder machine is gone.
Dang! wish I had got the sideloading machine.
isnt it still available at android central? Those are the guys who wrote it, I thought...
if at was at androidcentral then you would have to sideload it, completely defeating the purpose.
Why don't you just put the .apk on your phone and install it?

that's sideloading. Anything other than a direct market download is sideloading, and blocked by At&T

Yea...that's what I'm saying. Enable side loading it takes like 30 seconds. It's more of a hassle to use wonder machine.

They moved it to only be available on their forum. You have to create a username/password, but the links then become available for download.

But I can't Sideload due to At&T so how can I download it from their website. That's sideloading?

lol....The Side load wondermachine stays on your computer. You download an .APK file oyu want, plug the phone in and it will side load it to your phone for you. You do not place the APK on the phone at all.
There is also a video on how to use the program:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzs_1DeSgWI&feature=player_embedded
Quote from the website:
"Installation:
Unzip the SWM folder to a conveinent place on your Windows computer. The program, and all files inside the SWM folder need to stay together.
You will need to install the USB driver for your model of Android device. Information about this can be had from your carrier, or from your device manufacturer.
Usage:
Ensure that USB debugging is enabled on your Android device. For most devices, this can be found in menu>settings>applications>development
Plug your Android device into a high speed USB port on your computer.
Start the application, and browse to the apk file you would like to install by clicking the "Choose a file" button.
Once you have chosen the apk to install, the "Go" button will be enabled. Click it, and you'll see the command window which prompts you as it installs the file. "

Root the phone. It's completely safe. If you follow DG's instructions on the thread it's pretty much idiot proof too. And then sideloading will be enabled!
edit: a bunch of other things will be enabled too. and he also has an unroot script there for you.
Yeah, I don't really get this. Download SuperOneClick. You can root your phone and enable sideloading all at once. If you ever want to go back SuperOneClick will also unroot your phone as well. There's no danger doing it this way.
SuperOneClick isn't the best way to root and enable your phone. There is an issue with Busybox. Designergears recommends using aroot to root and enable sideloading. If you used SuperOneClick to root...simply unroot it.
I'm afraid I don't know enough about software to use superoneclick and such.

Hey, i think the best way for you is to do it like it says in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981866
except if you have a bell atrix, i think than youll have to wait a bit so the devs make it for it (im not sure if its a problem tho)
use aroot. I rooted with super one click and also clicked enable outside apps but it didn't work. I then used aroot and everything worked fine.

You didnt try the Sideload wonder machine? Check out all the links and instructions I posted. It is really easy, especailly if you dont trust yourself enough to root the phone.

Seriously, he posts that the SWM is down but I don't think he even knows what the SWM is.
And for everyone telling him to root, transferring files with SWM is so much easier that rooting just for side loading is kind of a waste.
You can also sideload via adb without root.
I've used wonder machine and worked beautifully.
you can always use Droidexplorer or adb
and if you can navigate this website and consciously comprehend what is being discussed (aka process the text on the screen in your mind) you should be able to follow DGs root method
Hi guys,
I have rooted my kindle fire with burritoroot and i got the market to work with openmarket. I am able to log in successfully and hit install on several apps. They sit at download starting. I have rebooted several times. Any ideas on a fix. I have also tried the web store and the same result.
Thanks
Update, I have also tried it at work and I am still getting the same problem with the download just sitting at starting download.
Go to applications, and select the market. Then clear Data.
Try it again.

I tried this and still the same result, I also went on my home router and forwarded port 5228 because I read on several sites that is the port that the android market uses.
I use many android devices in the same site without having to forward anything. I doubt that is your issue.

Ok, I was just trying to rule out anything on the my network end while trying to troubleshoot the device.
Would i be able to download apps from the android market on my computer and transfer them to my fire?
I am going to try putting the google talk app on the fire and seeing if i can sign in to see if that fixes the issue. I have read in many places that it fixes it for many android phones.

You may be using an older version of the market. The instrucions say to use vending.apk, but I actually ended up having to use com.amarket.apk. A lot of people were having this issue. Repeat the data/cache wipe after installing the new one.

Yes, or just pull them from your phone. Dropbox is very handy for sideloading apps. Just make sure you have installation of unknown sources enabled under Settings>More>Device

Oh ok I was going to suggest turning off the firewall to download but nevermind. Its almost definitely the vending.apk vs com.amarket.apk issue. I had a similar problem. Also, for some reason File Expert would not keep the permissions changed when I changed them. I sideloaded Root Explorer and it worked like a charm. Good luck getting it working.

Hey guys,
I've searched high and low in this forum and others for a solution to my problem, I have been unable to find one. I'm looking for a way to sideload apps onto a Kindle Fire so that, after the third party app has been installed, I can clear the Launcher data and the next time I start the device it boots to the setup and welcome screens like the very first boot.
The reason I want to avoid rooting or having to download a file manager app to the device is that I am planning to create a script for the process.
Any advice or links to a helpful guide?

Now I'm confused, on the Android Forums you said it was so you could give it to someone as a gift and you wanted to give them the "first-time use" experience. I really don't see anyone needing a script for something like this but I may be wrong.
It's more of a fun project for me than anything else, a Kindle Fire loaded with apps makes for a great and affordable gift and I have other family members who I intend to give the Kindle Fire to as a gift. But I don't want them to feel as though I've been mucking with it

I completely understand, I still think the easiest way would be to just use ES file explorer, or something similar, to install them and then just delete the app. Maybe someone here will have a different idea.

Perhaps. Can you link me to any guides on this?
Are you trying to make a script that will be run on a computer or on the Fire itself? If you're running the script on an actual device (terminal emulator, gscript, etc):
Code:
pm install /path/to/file.apk
In that case the .apk will need to be copied onto the device first. If you're running a script from a computer and have the device plugged in via USB you can use:
Code:
adb install /path/to/file.apk
...and for that one the .apk needs to be on your computer somewhere. I know 'adb install' doesn't require root. I don't remember if 'pm install' does, but I think it doesn't. Either way, you just need to get a copy of the .apks you want to install.
Cant you just reset the device to factory defaults from the settings?

Hi All,
I have been trying to get ADB working on my windows xp PC for my HD+. I purchased this from staples and it is at 2.0.4. I followed 2 separate threads here in addition to info on nookdevs from BN. I am able to see my nook in ADB but as soon as I try to run the allinoneroot and the nook reboots its gone. no more devices. Even if I just disconnect the nook and reconnect to my PC i see same behavior. basically it looks like my PC is not able to retain the ADB setup after the nook reconnects.
Any pointers? I have another windows 7 PC which I am planning to try next but i have no clue why this isnt working? should i be deleting some existing installation from my PC? I am new to Nook HD+ but not really new to android or ADB. I already have a Nook color with CM7 running on it and have been upgrading etc for past 1.5 years.
this has been my most frustrating experience with ADB so far. Please help.. I am so close to taking this back to the store.
thanks!
Can you open up the shell/batch file and execute the commands one by one to see where exactly it's messing up?

I had the same problem. It loses the ADB after the first boot. I had to leave the cord plugged in and the command window open and go to device manager. I went to USB controllers and uninstalled the USB composite device. Another device popped up in other and I updated the driver to the nook drivers again. Then the command prompt took off to the next boot and same thing happened. Just went through that every time until finished.

There are many things that make certain apps incompatible. It have tried several things including dpi, modifying build.prop (which I recommend against unless you want to reset), and nothing seems to help. I just think the HD+ is not on its list so most things show incompatible. The only solution is to use other devices to download and sideload. There are web stores that let you use your browser to download but not all apps are available. Like 1mobile.com.

I've simply copied many of these apps from my phone to my PC then sideloaded. They work fine. It just seems to be that they aren't teed up for this sort of Bastroid 4.2.1 that B&N has deployed is my guess. Example, free angry birds works fine this way. Once loaded, you can backup with Titanium backup and reload if needed.
thanks evenryone.. the adb wireless included in latest root makes is so easy. you devs are awesome.
I am about ready to give up. I tried the "root-android.org" oneclick and it continually fails. The technical support for the rooting software from root-android.org is not helping. I'm not sure that the oneclick method has ever worked on a Kindle Fire HD 7.2.3. I have downloaded SDK and the ADB as directed and kindle does show up on my devices (32 bit with Vista running) but various methods can't seem to connect to the Kindle from the PC. I really want to be able to do more with the Kindle and with some help I believe that it can be done. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I do have a Macbook Pro, but everything I have read indicates that you need to use a pc and not a mac.

Sir do you have an app anywhere called terminal emulator? If so go in there and type su and tell me what it says? (Verifying that you have root) after that I may be able to help walk you through the process
Or....
Open ES File Explorer, open settings and choose root settings (down near the bottom) make sure all the boxes are checked. Then you should be able to access /system/.
As for Google Play, go here.

Fianlly see Google Play in the apps. I rechecked all the steps and found that I cannot move Vending.apk to /System/app. The failure indicates that the file cannot be moved from /sdcard/Download to /System/app.
I also can't figure out how to "ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, change permissions set to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read". Is the procedure talking about tyhe Vending.apk file?
STOP - I was able to move the file (Vending.apk), rebooted the Kindle and now I can go to Google Play where it shows my already purchased apps for my mobile phone. It indicates that two of the phone apps are starting to download but that's it. Seems like it can't really download. The files are continually stating that they are "starting download".

Seems like you got yourself in a weird spot. Rather then trying to find the needle in the haystack, it's sometimes easier to simply start over from scratch. What I mean is to remove all google stuff and reinstall. I mean everything "google" that wasn't on your kindle when you got it.
Then... Start over here.
Give it a try. I have been right where you are and this has worked for me. Nobody said it was going to be easy to make something do what it wasn't intended to do.
All is well that ends well
Thanks so very much for your patience and assistance. I have everything working on my Kindle and I owe it all to you. I even have the living wallpapers, seeing all the online videos I couldn't before, using ES file explorer I can look at everything from root down.
Many thanks to you and all the developers at XDA.:victory:

chetek,
I am sorry to hear you are having trouble. The One-click Method does work on the Kindle Fire HD and 2 it is not preferred since there are many known Bugs with SuperOneClick. The first problem is the SDK, if you install the SDK and setup the environment variable correctly you will trigger Root MANY ANDROID and Qemu Root to fail since they already have a build in adb tool.
The problem with installing the SDK is several fold:
1. The SDK is over 500MB - The SDK is designed for Developers NOT End Users
2. There are only 2 programs used by the normal End User: adb.exe and fastboot.exe - they total less than 200KB
3. Qemu has its own adb.exe
4. SuperOneClick has its own adb.exe
5. Root MANY ANDROID! has its own adb.exe
So what happens is when SuperOneClick calls to it's internal adb.exe, this triggers the SDK adb.exe to start. They both use the same port so the are unable to communicate to the Kindle due to this port conflict. If adb.exe is lucky, it attempts to pull from it's own Root directory in an attempt to Push su ans Superuser.apk. Guess what? These files are not in the SDK directory so in the end, the utilities completely fail.
The solution? Remove the SDK, you will be able to Root the device in less than 5 minutes. Next you asked about Rooting the Kindle with a Mac, yes this can be done and is preferred over Windows since the Kindle driver is built into Mac OS X, here is a link to the steps:
[ROOT] How To: Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD or 2 with Linux/MAC - Noob (Simple) Version
Finally, since you have Vista, please be sure to apply this fix prior to Rooting the Kindle:
[Bug Report] Attention Windows 7 and Vista Users - Noob (Simple) Version
So the final conclusions are:
1. Remove the SDK
2. Remove the SDK Path Statement if Inserted into PATH
3. Verify Driver is functioning
4. Apply the Fix

Raymond199483,
First let's get you in a thread which we monitor closely - click on the link below:
[ROOT][HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version
Please begin the operation per the instructions. Check the driver per the tutorial, then post us what you see in the Windows Device Manager. If everything appears OK, then proceed to the Rooting steps, please let us know what happens with the first two steps - do you see error? If yes, what do they say?
Once you give us additional information we will be able to get you Rooted.
