1 click root won't work... Help.

[gsxr310]

so i dl'd the .apk file. when i try to install it, i get a box that pops up that say's "can't install" any ideas. i'm on firmware 1.5 if that matters.

Perhaps a stupid question, but why do you need a one click root application if you're already rooted (as implied by your signature)?

1 click apps tend to be kinda dodgy, usually best to just do it manually.

Please explain "will not install".

What's the error you're getting?

I've found The Unlockr has pretty reliable guides.

I used his Droid guide to help me through my root.

I ask about the error because if you don't have "allow non-market apps" checked in the application settings all your app installs from, say, non-market locations won't work.

That would be my guess as well.

so when i read the disclaimer and hit "install" it says: "cannot complete install, push ok to go back to previous screen". but i will try and see if the "allow non-market apps" is checked. i don't have the phone w/ me right now, but i will post later in the PM. thanks for the help!
