I just picked up my AT&T Galaxy tab, brand new. When I tried to install the z4root.apk file with the filemanager, I got a message:
"Install blocked. For security your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android market"
What gives? Three days ago I was able to use z4root to root T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab.
Is this device "locked" onto Market and how do I fix that without root?
The options are setting and cancel. Settings take me to "applications" and "development" is to to "allow mock locations" - but it does not make a difference.
PLEASE help.
Thanks
There is perfectly good z4root in the market, you don't have to sideload it.
i used it on my sprint tab and it didnt give me read / write access to system folder

you should remount the /system partition with rw access if you want to write there.
If it dont work the first time turn off the Tab and try again

Unfortunately Z4root was removed from the marketplace (again) yesterday. It was there in the morning but gone by the time I received my AT&T Galaxy Tab in the afternoon.
Does anyone know if Sideload Wonder Machine might work with Z4root on the AT&T GT, or another way to get Z4 on my Tab?

att tab blocked 3rd party apps need to use one click or flash euro rom on first
Off to work, I will give one click a try when I get home-thanks
ive tried that , ive used adb and root explorer neither of which actually give me access, adb just fails and root explorer says its r/w but everytime you do something it says its done but if you refresh the directory its still the same. I tried z4root, superoneclick root none seem to work I even restored my tab and started over but still no r/w access. This is my first attempt at rooting so maybe im doing something wrong but from what i was told it seems im not
I think you need to allow "Unknown Sources" under Application Settings. Try turning that on and see if it allows you to install.
Thanks
OneClick is working fine.
Please confirm, but I believe the issue is that AT&T has disabled sideloading, where T-Mo and other carriers have not.
I downloaded z4root last week but did not get around to rooting the Tab. Are we now saying that even though I have app, it will not work due to fact that it has been removed from Marketplace?
Will try the root when I get back home, but it sounds like AT&T Tab users are hosed for now.

[edit] - rooting with z4root worked fine. As long as you have it, all is good.
I have an at&t tab and no issue for me since i installed the euro firmware anyway. Up yours at&t!!!
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using XDA App

thats because after you root you need busybox installed to write

Thanks maxtcee, my AT&T GT is now rooted!
After rooting w/One Click I did the WPA_Supplicant swap on the Tab for adhoc wireless connection. I have Wireless Tether on my Droid2 so now I don't need a data plan for my AT&T Tab!
With 3rd-party rom, can one still use AT&T's $25 2GB 30 day plan? Thanks! -- Kevin
Did you get any errors in the process?
I was messing with AdAway to try to get it to work on a Stock Rooted ROM, and unfortunately, was never able to get that to work. So after trying to revert the hosts file, AdAway failed for whatever reason, and then I was stuck without internet. I can't browse the internet via Google Chrome, and I can't access the internet using the facebook application or any other application that relies on the internet.
I was wondering if someone could give me a default hosts file, or if someone could help me troubleshoot why I am unable to completely connect to the internet on 3G, 4G or WiFi.
I am not above resetting the device, but, I wanted to leave that as a last resort.

If you are, as you say rooted then just use a root explorer (I use RootExplorer, also can use ROMToolbox, ES Pro etc..) to delete the current hosts file; in here /etc/hosts and then reboot and it should be created anew.
Also check your date and time settings. If they are not synched many things will not work
I was trying to return my mobile hotspot back to stock to get ready for the KitKat release - I somehow stumbled upon a thread where someone posted stock files of the mobilehotspot.apk and odex....I took these and inserted them into my system apps file. Only...I remembered the changes I made to bypass the provision check was to the hotspotprovision.apk. So, now my phone has the mobilehotspot.apk in the system apps folder, but the system doesn't seem to recognize it, ie, not in the system apps, can't do anything with it. Any help for me? I tried factory reset, and all I did was delete all of my personal data, the state of those apps did not improve!

Did you set permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot after placing the apk and odex?
Yes, and tried again.. Still no app, not sure what other tricks I can try

Did you get the file you needed and were you able to update?
Hi, I wanted to block some ads both on my browser and within apps, since I was getting drained up of my data plan without me realizing it (can't say it's all about the ads).. but anyhow, I have both adaway and adblock+ apks hanging around which I installed on my ex s6 and installed without a hassle (I hadn't remember if they blocked ads within apps but I was to test it), so i went and installed both and it kept saying the server for retrieving the lists on adaway weren't found, so I thought it to be a problem with my data connection and waited to get back home and try on wifi (I didn't realized that I lost my internet access since then - had a busy day at work) and when I tried on wifi, I was able to download the list and then it ask me to reboot for changes to apply. After reboot it couldn't get access to download the list (it was set an update on start) so I uninstalled it.
Then I tried to configure adblock+ and I wasn't getting any connection either, so I uninstalled it too. Afterwards I realized I didn't have a connection at all (I could connect both to data and wifi but neither was passing through). So doing some research I realized both kept 'active' (the modified hosts file was still there) so I installed them both and disabled both, but I still had no internet). Then I disabled adaway again check on the hosts file content and saw there were too lines (localhost 127.0.0.1 and ::1 127.0.0.1) or the like. I restarted and had some whatsapp mesages come through but whenever I tried to access internet trough playstore, weather widget and so forth, I lost internet access again even por whatsapp. I kept trying to the other hosts files locations (those listed within the adaway app) to see if there was the problem but it said something about needing a create a link or so and I didn't accept and stayed on trying on the default one (data/system/hosts or so). Finally, after some more tries I couldn't get internet access but I'd got an error about samsungdevicesecutity service failed and went and freezed it on titanium and afterwards I had access to both whatsapp and playstore, so I went and uninstalled both adblock+ and adaway and rebooted so as to have a "clean start" (or so I thought) and I came up again without internet and haven't been able to reproduce what I had, no matter if I unfreeze the service, freeze it again, having it enabled and how many more times this service fails. Sorry about the long description, but I would believe that having a factory reset would solve this but since I didn't had the backup option enabled, I'm not sure if I would have to go through the process of installing / configuring everything again, so I wanted to make sure I could avoid the factory reset path.. anyone knows a way around this? Any help is appreciated.. thanks
I was freshly rooted with CF auto root (s7 edge international).
Best regards
Easier to use Firefox and uBlock maybe? Free as well...

I had crystal already installed and was using samsung's internet. But I was trying to block ads on apps and failed to do some research on more recent options like the ones you mention or adguard/netguard that I have seen being mentioned on other posts. Thanks for the suggestion and for the long reading..

Well, since I didn't had internet access I couldn't go through the factory reset path (I was asked my sam account to continue), but had to flash to stock first (doing this I recovered my internet access) but since it continued with the samsungdevicesecurity error I then proceeded with the factory reset (with the downside of having to reconfigure and reinstall everything). Thanks but I couldn't be that much time without internet access (work and all).
so my friend found a samsung galaxy express 3 from at & t and wanted me to set it up for him. so he gave it to me, first thing i did was factory reset it in recovery mode. Then problems started. I dont have the previous owners account so i need to bypass the google verification. But i have no idea how. ive tried the side sync method, the open with option never showed up. this phone doesn't have usb hosting so i cant use an otg cable. i tried the real term method, just an error when i put the codes. i tried the no computer methods, i can get into ultra power saving mode, but thats it. with the other no computer methods it comes down to restarting it, and when it comes back on theirs camera access but for me when i restart it its locked, but no camera or phone access. ive tried every option i could find and even tried installing a stock ROM, succeeded with the stock rom installation thinking it would remove the google verification but still didn't. does anybody have any ideas? i cant enable USB debugging. so i dont think i can root it and install a custom rom and disable it. at least i think. im new to this stuff so if anybody has suggestions for me then that would be great. Thank you in advance
Google frp bypass. Methods have changed, due to patching. You need to research the most current method. I used Rootjunky's method back in the fall of 2016. Worked like a charm. Consisted of a phony call through an emulator, triggered a request for contact storage, led to browser opening playstore for a vcard app. Download frp bypass app instead, viola!! Imho, too much work for that phone.
I managed to get into chrome. Now what?
So with a bunch of messing around I managed to get into chrome through the emergency call but I'm in chrome. Which is how most methods work is through chrome. U install an app then run it and ur able to bypass it pretty much. But I can't install any apks. When I download a file it ask if I wanna download it, then starts it but never prompts me when it's done so I can't open it and install it. If I redowbload the same file it lets me look at the downloaded files and I can even get to the SD card. But if I tap on anything that's not a folder it kicks me back to the browser. So how could I get on the Samsung store to get es file explorer or install apks? Any help would be great thanks
I've had success setting up a samsung account installing es file explorer, then putting the app needed on sd card or Bluetooth it via a settings app. Rootjunky has the apks. But yes the 911 loophole is there if you don't have a sim to do a realterm dialer method
