No Joy

Thanks for the info. I unistalled .NET 4 & SWM. I reinstalled both from the original link (SWM from the installer). Everything seems to work fine (recognizes the phone & no file errors) but when I hit install I get the 'protocol error' (sorry, protocol failure) notation in the box. I am running XP-Pro with SP3, all Windows updates have been downloaded. I appreciate the help, I know it is hard to diagnose not seeing things. Thanks

Mind screen sharing?

Just let me know what to do. Do you mean an attachment of the screen error message? Can do that.

Need Help! Error Device not found

Successes, And Problems:

I had a painless time last night installing SWM on my MacBook (with WinXP running in VMWare), and succeeded on the first try to use it to install SL4A (Scripting Layer For Android) on my AT&T Atrix. Very painless...many thanks for this nice tool!

But then I hit a problem. SL4A doesn't come with any interpreters, so you have to install them separately. I used SWM to install PythonForAndroid_r4.apk. SWM didn't give me any errors, but when I launched SL4A there was no Python interpreter to be found. So I went back to SWM and tried again to install. This time I received the error message: "pkg: /data/local/tmp/to_install.apk Failure: [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]". So apparently SWM loaded the apk onto the Atrix, but -- guessing here -- either the package wasn't opened or else its files were installed in the wrong place(s)(?). This page says "The interpreter, interpreter extras, and example scripts (if available) will be downloaded to /sdcard/xxx.zip and then extracted to /data/data/com.googlecode.android_scripting/files/xxx, /sdcard/sl4a/extras/xxx, and /sdcard/sl4a/scripts respectively." I find no zip file in /sdcard, no 'extras' directory in /sdcard/sl4a, and no nothing in /sdcard/slra/scripts. Unfortunately, because I'm not rooted, I can't see whether there are any files in /data/data/com.googlecode.android_scripting/files (don't have permissions to view /data), but since SL4A isn't finding a Python interpreter I'm assuming they're not there.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I suppose I should root this phone, which would probably make troubleshooting a bit easier...but I've been out of the *nix game for the past 20 years or so, and its not like riding a bike, so I'm easing myself back into *nix administration before I go and grant myself a license to kill.

EXCELLENT

A BIG thanks to DroidXcon, got a USB controller card and AC_SWM just smokes now. apk's load from any folder also. All people, allow Droid to help you, it will be worth it. Thanks again for all the help.

I have a windows 7 and a Xperia X8. I've had the phone for a week, and I'm new to this stuff. When I try to install the .apk, I get an error saying "device not found". I have no idea what to do. Maybe I don't have a driver, but I don't know how to install them...

The instructions tell you to have the phone in "Charge only" mode when connecting the device. I have the HTC Inspire and it was not recognized until I selected either HTC Sync or Disk Drive modes.

2 thumbs up

Kudos to you!

I do not want to root my phone because I just want an occasional non-market app. I have a Motorola Atrix and had no issues (well, none once I connected my phone via USB hahahaha).

Now I can download YouTube videos. HOORAY!!! (apk here >>> EasyTube.me)

Thank you for a wonderful, simple solution.

Unhandled Exceptio

I've tried to use the Sideload Wonder Machine to install an app on my Motorola Atrix, but I constantly get an error message that "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application." and, yes, USB debugging is checked off in Development.
How do I get this to work?

Please go to the OP and make sure you have .NET 4.0 framework
did you use the installer?
did you use the diagnostic tool?

 

[sdrum49]

Yes, I have .net 4.0 and, yes, I used the diagnostic tool. That gives the same "unhandled exception" error message.

 

[kinzo]

ok

mer?i

I uninstalled SWM and reinstalled it. This time it worked. Don't know why it didn't the first time, but it DOES seem to work with the Motorola Atrix?AT&T now.

I seem to be having a really stupid issue (I hope)...I run the swm in both admin and non-admin modes (win7), and when I click the install button the command line opens. However, all it says is 'C:\AC_SWM>' with the flashing underscore after it...when I hit the troubleshoot button the same thing happens. Im pretty sure its not a phone issue since I have debugging on, the usb mode is set to 'none', and I have .NET Framework 4.0 installed. Can I get a bit of help please? I will root it if I have to, but the only reason I would want to is to side-load apps.
