I'm trying to side load some apps. But the wonder machine says my phone is offline. I already enabled side loading and rooted the phone. And have drivers for phone.
Once your phone is connected in USB debug, bring down the notification bar and unmount it. If Windows is not seeing it as a removable drive, I think you're good to go.
For me, the sideloading was working when I had my Vista working.
After my pc was busted by virus, I switch the OS to Windows 7.
Since then, the sideloader wont regonize my device anymore.
I have several - most of them require root such as wireless tethering. The latest one that I loaded was the Yahoo! Messenger app with video chat pulled from the MyTough 4G. I use it to video chat with my wife's iPhone 4.
