FlexiSPY for Android - Important Information

Thank you for your interest in our Android product. Please review all of the following information before purchase to ensure that the TARGET phone is compatible with our software.

 

How to install 3rd party software on the ATT network


If you are on the ATT network please follow the instructions below to allow for third party programs to be installed.

ATT does block 3rd party apps from being installed outside of the Android Market, however there is a fairly simple way to get around this which does not harm or change anything, should not void your warranty, and does not require rooting. It's a small desktop application from Android Central, called the "Sideload Wonder Machine".

Here is a short video clip that demonstrates how easy it is to use and how quickly it can be done:

Rooting the TARGET phone


Because of many such complexities, FlexiSPY can neither advise nor support, or take any responsibility whatsoever (legally or otherwise) for any method of rooting your Android TARGET phone, or for the use of any third party tools not developed and maintained by FlexiSPY itself. As in all cases, you are 100% responsible for the administration and maintenance of your own device.


Rooting table for various TARGET phones

The tables below show a selection of popular Android models with links to various utilities to root each, and any other relevant information. See below the tables for complete step by step guides on how to do it. Keep in mind that you can instal FlexiSPY Pro or Pro-X onto any Android Target phone (OS 2.1, Update 1 through 2.3.4) that you are able to root, although not all rooting utilities will work for all models. The tables below indicate the rooting tools we have confirmed for the models listed only.
