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?

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!

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

Let me know if there's anything else you need that would help solve the problem.

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.

Ok I have been looking through the tutorials for 2 days now and I finally today rooted my G1 and upgraded to the Cyanongen rom. Everything seems to be working great except for one issue. I attempted to install and run the tether wifi app but when I do I get this message "Cannot start Tether service Error: Permission denied. I am guessing it is not allowing it to run because the phone somehow did not get rooted.
When I rooted and installed Cyanongen I followed these directions
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
I made sure that I followed each step carefully and didnt miss anything.
I then found this tutorial which had slightly different instructons on how to to root from the one I posted previously.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679
Am I going to have to start all over again with the tutorial listed above? Or can I do something to simply add root access to the current rom I have installed? Thanks alot for any help you can give me
No you should still be good. This seems like a pretty simple fix. Go into your app drawer, open up superuser permisions app, and delete everything thats checked with a (-). Then, open the wireless tether app and click on allow, and check the remember box. That should fix it!
Hello, i just got my first smartphone, i have AT&T and i didnt want an iphone and was more drawn toward andriod, so i got a captivate. I would really like to do alot of the things in the "Pimp my captivate" guide but i have some questions first.
1.) If i root the phone, and take off the bloatware, will i still get updates if i go to the check for updates in settings? (ex. like the gps fix and froyo update someday).
2.) Its not going to subtract any features from the phone is it ? (ex. the google syncing and everything will still work? Basically is the rooting process and or bloatware removal going to change the way the phone works besides the programs those being gone?
Ill admit i'm an andriod phone hacking noob, but i do know computers well and programming and have altered other devices in the past.

Since no updates have come down yet, I don't think anyone is sure of the answer to this. Keep in mind that it's a good idea to make backups of the app APKs on your sdcard before you remove them (just in case you want to reinstall them).

Removing AT&T's crappy apps won't affect the phone negatively at all. They simply won't be there, so you can't use them (if you find them useful). The only app that I can think of you may want to keep is the AT&T Hot Spots app so you phone can use free AT&T wifi at locations such as Starbucks.
Yes, you will still get updates as long as you do not install a custom ROM. (Rooting is ok).
The only functionality that will be removed will be that of the apps you delete
Thank you so much this clears up alot of the things I've been wondering.

Rooting issues
I have tried everything I have found online. The superuser icon is there. I have downloaded several apps that require the device to be rooted. I turned on usb debugging, and turned it off. I've downloaded update.zip several times.
I'm not entirely a noob when it comes to tweaking phones. I flashed roms on windows mobile and performed all sorts of modifications I got off this site.
I have the superuser icon. I downloaded titanium. Titanium says it installed busybox. I downloaded the separate busybox app from the market. That app has a popup saying that a nand unlock is necessary for the app to work. When I run it in spite of the popup, it says the device is rooted, but can't find busybox. A whoami command in adb will indicate that I'm not. I went though adb to reinstall busybox. But whenever I try to run any significant commands (eg su) it gives me a permission denied error. Googling permission denied gives me a myraid of possible causes, but it seems I'm getting far afield. I just want to get rid of the bloatware for now.
Is there another program to root this thing? Did I just miss something incredibly obvious?

You shouldn't ever need to unless you are installing a ROM that requires it. the Dalvik Cache is the Java VM that Android Runs on and it does a very good job of keeping itself cleared. It does lots of Garbage collection on its own.

FYI I installed the newest busybox and it broke wifi as well as cell reception. Won't recognize the sim. I found this post below as well... going to have to odin when I get home. i have the i957
- - - - -
just for the docs:If you installed Busybox on a rooted OneX with stock ROM, and removed some symlinks in /system/bin, make shure to keep /system/bin/insmod and /system/bin/chmod untouched or link it with /system/xbin/busybox (or wherever you installed busybox to).*If you don't, you phone will not prompt for the SIM PIN and will not show any network operator or signal.If the phone starts, the file /system/bin/poweron_modem_fls.sh gets executed. This file will call a binary named IMCdownload which has /system/bin/insmod hardcoded. If this insmod is nonexistent the IMCdownload will fail and /dev/ttyACM0 (the GSM modem terminal) does't get created.Next, gsm0710mux is called. This tool talks to /dev/ttyACM0. It tries to run /system/bin/chmod (even hardcoded). If this fails, the phone will not prompt for the SIM PIN even.It took me two days and a nearly bricked OneX to figure this out.Maybe its helpful so someone

Mine is broken also.
Hey guys, This isn't a problem with Busybox, It was a bug in my application.
The bug was present in version 8.0 I pathced the bug as fast as possible in 8.1 but a lot of people still got it because of caching issues.
What happened was that it symlinked all applets to busybox which means it overwrote some system applets that on some devices shouldnt be overwritten. I didn't catch this bug because my device was not affected by this.
To resolve this issue, simply reflash your current rom. You do not have to wipe any data.
When you reboot this should resolve the problem.
Again I want to apologize for this problem and annoyance.
Best Regards,
Stephen - Stericson

Galaxy Tab 7.7 is not a popular device. Besides, I really don't know which file busybox touched.
Reflashing took ten minutes and all my apps are fine. Didn't have to do a seperate root like last time so that was nice. Aslo the bloatware was removed.

WiFi But No Mobile Network
I installed Busybox 1.20.1 and my WiFi still works fine but I have no mobile 3g network. I can call and text message fine also. Google Play and any other application requiring internet access only work while WiFi is enabled. Busybox 1.20.0 worked fine. I have a Casio Commando with a stock rom. I have tried uninstalling busybox but it fails every time, telling me the system will bootloop. I have tried unrooting with no luck also. What are my options to fix this?
What version of my app did you use to install Busybox? 8.0? Curiously if you were hit by the 8.0 bug you lost both.
The easiest way is just to reflash a stock rom. You should not have to wipe or lose any data.
Version 8.3
I've also read that the Casio Commando cannot be reflashed.
Did you change any of the smart install settings? If not, I'm a little unsure if the cause was Busybox.
The previous bug was caused by overwriting system applets that shouldnt be overwritten, that was fixed as of 8.1. so the only way it could overwrite something it shouldnt would be if you adjusted the pre-adjusted settings in smart install.
Have you tried a reboot to see if the issue persists after that? Or maybe a reinstall of Busybox? Maybe you got an incomplete install somehow?
Yeah, I tried all of that. I didn't change any settings either. It won't even let me use smart install anyway. I just used the regular install option. I waited for smart install to finish loading then installed 1.20.1 over 1.20.0 and then I had no mobile network. The 3g icon and bars show up and they're white but they're supposed to turn green. Mobile network settings look good too.
Maybe it's an issue with 1.20.1, Can you try rolling back to 1.20.0?
Yeah, I already installed 1.19.4, 1.19.3, and 1.20.0 after I installed 1.20.1. Right now it says BusyBox v1.19.3 is installed to /system/bin/
Can you run the command:
ls -l /system/bin
and show us the output?
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.

Maziu92.

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 :/

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"

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.
:good: :good:
So I successfully unlocked and rooted my phone with various methods because Boost Mobile didn't make it easy, and then managed to root via TWRP,
The reason why I rooted the phone is because I want to remove bloatware like Connection Optimizer and Boost Zone.
I got a hold of a root explorer copy and managed to delete the .apk files with their respective helping files.
On top of that, I got another application to remove the installed apps and it worked.
So, after a while of using the phone without a hassle, it just randomly turns off.
And when I boot it up again, the apps are back and more annoying than before.
I have no idea how to change folder permissions (I forgot, I did it once on LG Venice but that was a while ago)
And I really need help, the bloatware takes up to 2gb and its annoying with the constant bombardment of notifications.
Please, if you can, HELP ME.

Have you flashed a kernel with write protection removed? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57174863&postcount=1
I've got the BOOST as well and that kept the bloatware off but occasionally they will try and re-download from the Play Store so I had to turn automatic updating of apps off and update apps manually as they come.
EDIT: I was waiting for my new user time limit to submit this. Didn't see the exact same answer posted above. That kernel worked for me (Boost 510). The later ones with performance enhancements did not. I am now bloat free.

I have that already flashed, that's the one I posted. I've now got just a base system by uninstalling EVERYTHING you can imagine. I'm just saying occasionally it would try and re-download some apps but now I've got automatic updating turned off it doesn't do it anymore.

This method didn't work out, every time I do the command it either doesn't go through or fastboot stops responding.

Your phone has to be in FASTBOOT not the os, but I assume you know that. Try adb kill-server and then adb start-server and then do the fastboot flash boot b.img or turn the computer off and turn it back on and try again. I've had this problem a couple times, these two methods worked.

I did this and it worked. However, the ability to change cameras is now missing. I had an option where I could change to front camera and now no camera app I get gives me the option to switch.

Yeah, the dev's are looking into it. It's a known issue.
