Hi,
I'm still using CD Receiver XC-HM82. There is a dedicated, quite old, application Control App which Pioneer released some time ago. After installing the app, when a CD receiver is discovered the app unfortunately downloads some data needed for managing this particular model.
Recently I reinstalled android system and when I try downloading those data it says "download failed". The reason might be that there are some issues on Pioneer server side or they've simply stopped supporting this device.
I have still one phone where this application is fully installed and working fine. I think that the data (downloaded from Pioneer servers to manage XC-HM82) are being store at: /data/user/0. However, I haven't rooted this phone.
The question. How can I retrieve data from /data/user/0 and what's maybe even more important can I create APK which will include all data needed for managing XC-HM-82 so I could still use this application to manage my CD receiver?
Thanks for any tips
I'll answer to my own post for users who might use it.
1.Turn on Developers option in your phone
2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging as Root or Root via ADB
3. Check all aps you have installed
adb shell pm list packages -f -3
4. To backup base apk (in my case)
adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-PIpLM2ikeE7WRs7X2TlOFg==/base.apk pioneer.apk
5. To backup data of the application (including packet for controlling particular model)
adb backup -f pioneer.adb -apk jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp
Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android
6. You should received two files: pioneer.apk and pioneer.adb
7. To restore base apk (in my case)
adb install pioneer.apk
8. To restore data of your app (in my case)
adb restore pioneer.adb
Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android
Eventually, you should have a feel backup of you app with data folder.

Gregory, thank you very much for your post!
First of all, I learned that I could stop checking my home network/router/settings etc.. to find the cause of the failing download.
I have the bluray player Pioneer MCS-FS232, with the controlapp working on my tablet.
I want to transfer the app to my phone.
I followed your steps:
Pulled the apk and backed up the data
I re-installed the app with adb install, and I restored the data with the commands above. Device report success after restoring data.
Unfortunately the app persists in asking for a download (also after restarting device). I tried also on another device, same result.
Could it be that the data restore command do need more specifications?
Thanks in advance for your reply...
Ptr
PS: the full command for step 4 would be (in my case)
adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-HjWUmVnui7FpTk0qKpQ3Ow==/base.apk pioneer.apk
you might want to add
adb pull
to your text in step 4
Thanks PtKt for your post and correction regarding "adb pull" missing.
There's no problem with base apk:
Pioneer ControlApp for Android - APK Download
Download Pioneer ControlApp apk 4.1.0 for Android. ControlApp is an application for corresponding Pioneer Products control.
apkpure.com
The thing is the data files (downloaded from Pioneer servers when it was still possible). What's the version of system: on a tablet and phone?
Recently, I realized that this method works on Android 9-11 but not on Android 7 cause there's a different folder structure. It recognized CD receiver but crashes when trying to connect to it.
Hello Gregory,
1. first tried it on my phone (where I had the app, but deleted it ( ). Android 11. This is the taarget-device. Not rooted. APK file installed with adb succesfully
2. when this did not work I tried on a tablet (rooted Asus transformer tf701t with timduru android 7). installed APK, date reports succes, but no working app.
3. device where the app works is Huawei tablet with android 10 (not rooted)
4. My computer is an old IMAC with Ununtu 20.4 lts
I tried to open the pioneer adb file, only partly accessible and only 5 lines.
I checked Androi/data/jp.pioneer.avsoft (etc), on my android 7 tablet, there is a map ' files' but without files.
tbc, Ptr
I'm not so advanced in this matter, but up to Android Version it's about folder /data/data/jp.pioneer... (and so on). You can't access it without root. Maybe you can do that via TWRP on Android 7 on later version it's an issue in easy way. Other solution is to use Magisk to manually copy needed files.
I'm not sure if referring to the system version different files were downloaded from Pioneer's serves. Unfortunately, I don't know.

Aiai.... after a few days of efforts my conclusion was that you need root access to your source device.
And then I re-read your solution and I saw that I overlooked the last part of point 2 of your solution....
"2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging or Root via ADB." I did allow USB debugging but I missed 'as Root or Root via ADB'
OK, it is a pity, I'm not going to root my Android 10 tablet where the working app lives. Meanwhile I learned a lot and that's always fun....
Thank you very much for your work, if I come across another solution I will report here.
Ptr
Great. You're very welcome.
Hi guys. I have problem with this Control App from Pioneer too.
On my Android 11 phone is after starting the app visible only the loading screen or a black screen and nothing happend more.
On the old tablet with Android 5 run this app, but it want to download more files from the server, but that is not possible yet beacuse of severs shutdown? (it works well two months ago).
Can you please give me a advice how to run this app on Android 11 and share the downloaded files for my Android 5 tablet.
Because of this is using of my XC-HM72 very limited.
Thank your for every advice (My devices are not rootet).

Hiya,
You won't download needed files (graphics or some scripts customized particularly for your XC- HM72) because there are no files on Pioneer's servers, anymore. If you don't have any device with fully working app you have to ask anyone who has it still working to export needed files (usually as "adb" file) for you then you just import it by a command:
adb restore exported_file_name.adb

and that's all.
Nevertheless, since Android 8 I think that the folder with user data files has a different location, so mentioned method should work for Android 8 - 11 (I haven't tested it on 12). That's all what I can suggest you.
gregory_cooky could you please share you date with adb file?Thank you

Thank you for the file, but still without success. I tried adb restore pioneer.adb and on my android 5 tablet and still want to download files from innactive servers. The same I have done on my phone with android 12 and there is still the freeze or black screen :-( What now? Thanks

I'm not much surprised about Android 5 cause it mightn't work. Unfortunately, I don't have any other news for you. I'm not even sure if my files were suitable for the model of yours. Further steps you should do by yourself. Maybe you'll find a solution and provide it for someone else who has the same CD Receiver as yours.
I've spend a lot of time trying to run the app for my old, but still well performing XC-HM71.
Luckily I've found old Titanium Backup (playstore) backups from 2015 and 2017. I successfully restored the app and settings on my forgotten redmi note 3 pro as root and old android were needed. If anyone is interested and want to try again, both backups are attached. Older app version is 3.5.0, never is 4.1.0. I'll recommend to start with older version, then restore just the newer app without data. It worked for me. Good luck.
But I've remembered the app a bit differently. Seems to be a bit useless, same can be done with remote itself.
Its just a bit faster to add internet radio stations, as browsing on unit itself is a bit pain in the backside.
XC-HM71 is a base version, no Bluetooth, Spotify or other currently standard addons, so really the Pioneer app do not have any real advantages.
Btw, I've had no luck with adb files from @gregory_cooky.
How to control my vsx 527 with control app? Can someone please help
Hi
I need files for Pioneer XC-HM81.
Can someone please help.
Good news!
I finally managed to transfer the needed Pioneer ControlApp data from my -non rooted- tablet (Huawei M5, android 10) to my -also non rooted- telephone (Samsung Galaxy A40, Android 11), based on gregory_cooky’s procedure in post 2 of this thread.
I tried it half a year ago (see above, my post 3) and gave up.
But a renewed attempt this week, learned me that I overlooked a crucial element: both devices need to have “USB debugging enabled” to operate the adb commands from my computer successfully.
Obviously, I misinterpreted step 2 in gregory_cooky’s procedure.
After enabling ‘developers option’ on both devices, you need to go to enable USB debuging . Without that, your devices are only partly accessible from your computer and adb commands will give error messages.
In detail: go to settings, scroll down towards about tablet or info telephone, look for software and then ‘buildnumber . Tap 7 times on buildnumber. this activates developers option. Go back to settings, you can now find developers option as the last point under settings. Tap developers option, enable it, look then for USB debugging and enable it. Do this on both devices.
Connect your source device (=device with a working ControlApp) to your computer. Open a terminal screen on your computer and type adb devices.
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
P15YC3E10080000000007FC1881C0 device
Then proceed as described by gregory_cooky in post 2.
Be sure to have your source files (ControlApp apk and data) in the root of your home directory, otherwise adb cannot find it. Be aware this type of commands is capital sensitive, so if you ask for Pioneer.adb but the name of the file is pioneer.adb the computer comes with No such file or directory.
I use the ControlApp for my Pioneer MCS-FS232, which I can now easily operate from my arm chair. Volume, switch from CD to Aux or FM, etc.
Peter
It appears ControlApp has finally given up.
Looking if anyone has perhaps a copy of the source files.
ControlApp downloads the files from the following URL: http://www.pioneer.eu/files/support/Wr5Ch9makajA/smartphone_app/common/controlapp/sma/SmaHtml_14.zip
Note that this is a HTTP URL, so can easily be faked for the device, however need the ZIP. Used to have it, now it's gone
hello,
would anyone have a working adb for Pioneer X-HM72 please?

Hi guys,
I bought a tablet from the guys over at Allview. The price was decent and the tablet is nice, but the douchy problem is that they did not include the android marketplace. I need it.
The device runs a eclair (android 2.1) update 1. Is there any way to install the marketplace without rooting the device ? and If not, can the device be rooted ? It has no phone capabilities (no sim, no gps, no camera) so I have 0 ideea what tool to use, especially because i really have no ideea what happends when rooting.
The little i got informationwise is that i'd probably need to root it > connect it to pc, use the andorid debugging console to "push" the app into the system folder. Tried to install whatever vendor.apks I could find but since the "host" os was uncertain, it's probably why they could not be installed. Alas, i may be wrong. Can you please help me out ?
if you need more infor google allview or Alldro
Thanks a lot !

Here ya go! just download it to your destop, transfer it to you device via usb, or download it to android device and run it from there!
thanks a huge lot !!! I will try this out. if it cannot install it means I will probably have to root the damn thing
thought as much. it won't install. I'm using ES explorer to install it (my device is not rooted yet, as I mentioned before) and no luck.
EDIT 1: Also tried copy=pasting it into the system/app folder. it says android marketplace blablabla copy failed. Is it possible that I am dealing with a NAND lock ?
could be that system is mounted read only.
Do you have root?
nope, not yet. I;m trying to root it as we speak... so far still going through the steps
EDIT: trying this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858952
so far i got to making the recovery image. for some idiotic reason however, I cannot do adb reboot recovery again ! it tells me error: protocol fault (no status)
my guess is that it doesn't like the recovery folder's name. else i don't get what's wrong ! I am going to rename the folder, and then attempt a second reboot-recovery. see if that works !
EDIT2: did not work. Could it be something else ?
ok i did it ! the problem was I had skipped rooting and forgot to add a few more params after doing the backup... whew ! that was a close call ! ffs !

Hi,
Is there such an app for the phone P2 from Allview?
Thank you in advance,
Poli
You will need to root your device to be able to push the vending apk into the system apps.
1. Root. its essential to do so.
2. Mount system partition r/w > google for adb commands on how to do that and adb in general
3. download the google apps provided above and either unzip and push vending apk to system/apps (not sure about the exact names, you'll have to see for yourself by using Root Explorer) . Restart phone > should work.
Ok I've got a generic tablet from Walmart, the DOPO MD-740. It's running ICS 4.0.3. I've been in contact with customer service about this thing, and while they're friendly and courteous, they really don't know anything about their product. According to their lead tech "there is no recovery or download mode".
Headache.
Well fooling around with this device, I've found.... SOMETHING....
While holding the volume up button at the same time as the power button, it boots straight to one single image, shown below. I have a feeling it's the download mode. Whatever it is, it's progress. Can anyone recognize what I got into? It's not a fatal error-- when I hit the reset button and reboot the tablet normally, all is fine.
I've tried to reboot into recovery via adb but I get the message that the command is not allowed. And of course, su is not allowed either.
Anyone have any suggestions on running adb on my computer... what process I would need to follow to manually root an ICS tablet? Would I just follow the same steps as I would in manually rooting a gingerbread device, or is there different lines of code I would need to use for ICS?
As for what device the kernel for THIS device has been ported from (it's obviously emulating something that has a magnometer which this unit doesn't have, etc...)... tech support doesn't know that either. The only clue I have that MIGHT help (other than the kernel version, build number, etc... all this is documented in another post, if anyone cares to take a look) is the FIRST boot image is of the penguin.
I would appreciate ANY feedback/information/advice anyone could offer in progressing with this "adventure"!
Thanks
Well with another twenty minutes of blindly pressing buttons I've found the recovery mode. From the screen displaying the android with the open panel (which I have concluded is NOT the download mode), pressing volume up, back, and power at the same time opens the recovery mode. The recovery is:
Android system recovery <3e>
Recovery system v4.00
No option to apply zip from sd, I guess this is to be expected on a stock device.
hi
in application select usb debug mode
install from unknown sources
connect to pc and run DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT
should work
regards
fred
didn't work.
After adb started successfully, sat for two hours and did nothing.
hi
are you using windows ?
is it reconized by windows ? do you have the drivers installed ?
ich processor use that tablet ?
Yeah I'm running Windows Vista, and my PC does recognize the device when it's connected (says drivers have been installed properly when connected under USB debugging mode, no problem transferring files in USB mode)
It's the ARMv7 processor
The device is recognized as Full ASOP on Rk29sdk
I've run across a new problem, which might actually be the main issue of the WHOLE problem. I was trying to push some files with adb from my laptop and it came to my attention that the driver for my device only acknowledges it as a mass storage device, even when the tablet is NOT mounted for mass storage. SOOOO... I guess I need a driver that will allow me to use adb. Any suggestions?
did you try with the drivers package from sdk ?
yup. Even gone as far as uninstalling the adb and sdk programs I had on my pc, downloading the newest versions and reinstalling. My computer "recognizes" the divice, but only as folders. Even when it's not mounted as mass storage.
STILL having te driver issue. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fnd a driver that will work with adb?

How did I root my “Full AOSP Rk29sdk”-MID 7-inch tablet (Android 4.0.3)
Hi Wingnut79 and others,
I have an Android 4.0.3 Tablet 7 inch, named "Full AOSP Rk29sdk" - and was also eager to root it....
After hours of search, trial and error, I succeeded.
My tablet is now fully rooted, and I can use ROM manager and all the aps for rooted android-devices....
How did I do that ?
I explain it here, in the attachment...
As you can see, my Windows is in the Dutch language, so I nevertheless hope everyone can understand what to do where...
I hope this can help...
Make sure it's not a Chinese Apad!
Make sure it's not a Chinese Apad! If u go on ebay u will see tons of tablets with ics 4.0.3. but the android on it it's a modified and weird version. I doublt it even is ics. One of my friends have it, and he cannot use the App Market, bcuz it said "Device not compatible with Market". Did u successfully downloaded stuff form the Market? If not, that maybe it's a piece of Chinese crap and u should call walmart for a refund.
It downloads apps from Android Market, Getjar, Amazon etc... just fine.
BAUDI--
I will try this later this afternoon, is it going to be an issue that my laptop OS is windows vista?
Mine tablet is a chinese tablet - but it's clearly really Android 4.0.3.
So, I also download and install applications from Playstore /Android Market/ etc.
It has Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS-AGPS, FM-radio,.... and evrything works really fine.
My sole problem was: no rootaccess (what I didn't understand, because it's "Android Open Source Project"...?)
Wingnut79,
as far as described in the guide I refer to, it works equally well on Vista. Just sometimes a little bit other name or place to find the properties or so - but should not be a problem at all.
I forgot to insist on the need to kill and restart adb after each change. I am not sure its really necessary each time, but I experencied that when I first thought "again nothing", it seemed well to work after "adb kill-server" and then "adb start-server"....
At some steps (I can't remember wich) I even rebooted my PC....
Now, everything works immediately...
So ROM Manager etc. works well, I have SuperUser... etc .
Good luck!

Just because it says it is 4.0.3 doesn't mean its pure AOSP. Remember that the China gov has its hands into a lot and there are things that they like to install on their devices to monitor the users and then close it up so it can't be changed.

I tried this and it worked. I got root on my device thanks alot for the guide.
Now to the real problem. I have two identical devices (rk29sdk). One is not booting and I can't manage to reset it.
My idea is make a full backup of the working device and somehow install it on the other one (the broken).
How can I do that - when I try to connect with adb it says:
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
Then this
Code:
C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Windows\system32>adb backup -apk -shared -all -f /backup/mybackup.ab
adb: unable to connect for backup
So it sees the device but I can't backup?
[edit]Now I connect to the device, the 'adb reboot' command works and the device responds. it's just the backup command that is not working.
Please help

The thing is I don't have access on my tablet. It won't boot.
So I can't start an app from the tablet, or maybe I can?
Yesterday i flashed a custom ROM and it didnt came with a File Manager installed with it.
Only way to Install apk was to connect to internet and download one File Manager.
While searching foe alternative methods i found 3 ways to install an apk without a FileManager or internet.
So far i've founded 3 methods
ADB
1.Copy the apk to an easily accessible directory eg. D:\name.apk
2.In ADB type adb install D:\name.apk
Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Terminal Emulator
For this method you should have terminal emulator installed on your device
1.Open terminal emulator

But first, some back story:
I integrated a system update using Titanium Backup on my coworker's tablet which broke the stock Google keyboard. This wouldn't have been a problem if poking around the recovery menu didn't also stupidly wipe the thing without so much as a confirmation. Yes, "Vol Up" = "Make Selection" instead of "Move Up" and there was no confirmation prompt so I accidentally picked "Wipe eMMC" and was immediately greeted with "Formatting eMMC." All I wanted to do was look for some cache clearing options and pressed Vol Up to *gasp* see if I could move UP the menu (Vol Down moves down and I expected power/lock to be "Make Selection").
Anyway, I had made a backup with Titanium Backup Pro when I first rooted his tablet (Verizon Ellipsis QMV7A) but it wasn't much use without a file manager and there was no way to use the browser or Play Store without a keyboard. There's also no ROM available, stock or otherwise.
The fix:
I didn't have a USB OTG adapter or a Bluetooth keyboard, but I did have my Galaxy Note 3 and the tablet did have Bluetooth. I paired them without needing the keyboard and initiated a file transfer to send a keyboard APK. It worked beautifully! I enabled alternate sources for APK installs, installed the keyboard, installed Titanium Backup, and was good to go! Of course, I then integrated it and a file manage into the ROM with Titanium Backup Pro.
you rock..!

Yesterday i flashed a custom ROM and it didnt came with a File Manager installed with it.
Only way to Install apk was to connect to internet and download one File Manager.
While searching foe alternative methods i found 3 ways to install an apk without a FileManager or internet.
So far i've founded 3 methods
ADB
Terminal Emulator
For this method you should have terminal emulator installed on your device
Browser

Hi from France
(1 - sorry for my english then
2 - sorry too if the paths I indicate are not very accurately named in english as my phone menus are in french
3 - I did what follows with success on my rooted Kitkat (build .77) Z3 Compact)
!!! FOR XPERIA OWNERS ONLY AS FLASHTOOL IS A DEDICATED TOOL FOR THESE DEVICES !!!
So if you've got Flashtool installed on your computer, you can also install APK's without the Internet nor a file manager.
All you need to do is:
- on your phone, select "USB debug" mode in the "Developer options" menu (if not activated, tap 7 times on the "About the phone" line at the bottom of the "Settings" menu),
- still on your phone, allow the installation of unknown app in "Settings" > "Security" or "Settings" > "App" (depending of your Android version),
- connect your phone to your PC,
- then on your computer, launch Flashtool,
- once your phone is recognized, click on APK Installer (curved right arrow button: 5th button from the left),
- select the .apk file you need (notice that if stored on your phone, you can select the one you want -click ctrl for selecting several apps ; but if located on your PC, it seems that Flashtool won't let you choose the one you want and will install all the .apk files existing in the folder where they've been downloaded).
That's it, your app should be installed and working.
Not tested on my Mac (did it on my PC under XP SP3), but I guess it should be working all the same.
And as I said above, I did this on a rooted Z3C, so I don't know if it would work on an unrooted phone.
Hope this has been helpful.
Thank you to Joe from the french forum Phonandroid.

No adb no browser nothing needed on this case .. You should be having the default- Downloads app right?
1 Go-to settings_storage_explore
2. Find the apk file use the copy option to copy it to downloads folder(cm 12 legacy xperia not able to open apk from this explore option)
3 launch the downloads and which is there as default
4 and open the apk from it
I found this more easy.
I accidentally uninstalled my file manager and I'm planing to do a factory reset with my phone but if i do so I won't be able to install apps and my alternate es file explorer cause I don't have a file manager... So can you help me on how to re-install my apps after my factory reset?
If you have email access you can email yourself an apk.

I'm working on an ADB port which allows ADB(client/server) to run directly on Android device.
The app allows you to connect your phone to another Android device via USB OTG and perform some tasks that you normally perform from your PC(that has ADB installed).
For example
- take screenshots
- check logs
- install/remove packages
- check running processes
- push/pull files (also from locations that are not available to regular apps)
- run shell scripts executed as privileged ADB user
- create ADB backups and inspect backup files
- copy apps/APKs between phones
It's still work in progress(even though it's published), and I'm not even sure what features of ADB I should make available through the UI.
I was hoping to get some feedback here.
What are the main issues with UI? (because adb has so many features, I found it extremely hard to pack it into UI that would be intuitive)
What features would you expect from this kind of app?
Should I also embed fastboot, so that users would be able to flash Android from phone to phone?
Is it even worth to work on another one of these apps? (Maybe most people just prefer to always use ADB features directly from PC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you use a local terminal to execute certain commands?

Not sure if I understand what you mean with "local terminal". .. Do you mean a shell spawned from regular app running on your phone?
The point of the app is to perform some privileged tasks that cannot be performed by regular apps on non-rooted phone.
You should be able to perform these tasks without the need to install ADB on your PC, or even without having a pc currently at your hands(e.g., if you're on-the-go).
Additionally, you should be able to perform a lot of these tasks with a couple of taps (instead of typing shell commands).
Is it possible to connect to localhost (127.0.0.1), and issue adb commands to the device running this app?

It's actually doing the opposite.
You issue commands from app to the connected device. The app is running the adb components you are running on your pc.
You connect one device that runs the app to another device that you want to debug. You can connect the devices via Wi-Fi or USB OTG.

I get that is the purpose, I was just curious if it was possible to point at the same device. It would make ADB stuff much simpler when no other devices are available.

If you made adbd listen on specific port before(adb tcpip 5555), then yes, you can issue adb commands from the app to the same device running the app.

No, I don't think you need root. I used it a lot on my non-rooted Nexus 5x and once on an old Asus Zenfone during testing and it was working as expected.
That's great . I was just wondering if there was something like this already out there. Thanks for your efforts and I hope you are prosperous.

I have a question about this app. I have installed it and find a few over internet connections (android box, fire tv) but when i connect my wifes non rooted S9 snapdragon. It asks what i want to use visa otg cable. (Smartswitch ect..)
Maybe the best way to put this is to tell you want i want to do.
I have a rooted note 5 and my wife has a new non rooted S9 from T mobile. The bloatware sucks as i am sure you can imagine. I have read how to remove the bloat with package disabler without root. My issues is i need to make PIP a sister app for package disabler a device owner app. This is done through adb and a few simple commands. My problem to solve my issue is i have no PC in order to use ADB on. I have looked for way to use phone to phone ADB with OTG but never been able to put ADB on my note 5 to use the terminal like from a PC.
Any help would be great thanks.

So you tried to connect your phone (with Bugjaeger installed) to you wife's phone via USB OTG cable? And the phone with Bugjaeger app doesn't detect any ADB device connection (or other dialogs pop up)? Did I understand this correctly?
You might need to temporarily disable the other protocols that Android offers via USB so that there are no other dialogs popping up (on your wife's phone). On my Nexus with Android 8, I can go to Connected devices -> USB and switch it to only "Charge this device" (so PTP or the other stuff is disabled).
In case there is some other app doing stuff with ADB USB devices, you might also need to change your defaults so that Bugjaeger can handle ADB USB devices.
Then you also need to make sure that Developer options are enabled on your wife's phone (and USB debugging of course).
Once you successfully connected and authorized the phone, you should do the following
- In Bugjaeger app switch to Packages tab and click on Add button top right (the button with the plus sign). Then you should pick the package disabler APK. This should install the package to your wife's phone
- Switch back to Commands tab (first tab) and either click on plus button in top right or shell into the device with the floating action button ("<>").
You can then activate the device owner with something like this
Code:
dpm set-device-owner disabler.package.name/.DisablerAdminReceiver
*Note that I don't prefix the command with "adb shell" here
When activating device owner you also need to make sure that there are no other accounts configured on your wifes phone (e.g. google account) because otherwise it probably won't work.
You can also check my blog post where I describe how to activate device owner with Bugjaeger in more detail (at the end of the blog post)

Hope that helps
going to give this a try thanks will post later with results,
Hi, I have a problem and I hope your app can help me.
I am without a PC and I have a tablet without root where I installed the application and a Samsung mobile phone that starts only in download mode, otherwise it gives me the message: Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock
Can I install a rom or a custom recovery with the app? I tried to connect them with the cable but it does not find the device.

I don't have any wear os watch at my hands right now and I can't test it at the moment. Is the APK compatible with the watch? If you're able to establish an adb connection between Bugjaeger and the watch, try to check the "Packages" tab in Bugjaeger app. There's a "+" button in the top toolbar, which allows you to select apk for installing on the target device.
The official docs are showing how to establish ADB connection with the watch - https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/debugging
In Bugjaeger you then need to tap the connect button (plug with a plus sign in top toolbar), type in the IP address of the device, and tap on connect button. Both devices should be connected to the same WiFi network to make this work.
i figured it out!!!! go to packages, press the plus button, install from apps installed on phone. it was soooo easy. i couldnt get adb to work on my pc!! i am so thankful to you for this app!!!!!

Hello Guys,
I have a Hilti Laser PD-C device that runs:
android: 4.1.2
build: sparky_silver_2.3.15
I want to note that all apps should be arm not x86 but Im not sure of the DPI.
This runs a special modified Hilti rom. I would love to be able to get a custom rom and add more apps. I am willing to toss some donations for this. Has anyone done anything with this device before?
**** Update: ****
I was able to get root access via PC version "KING_ROOT"
http://king.myapp.com/myapp/Kingroot/kingroot_pc/KingRoot_pc_en.exe
1. I downloaded the most current sdk for ADB
2. I also downloaded the Hilti update app.
www.hilti.com/updatepdc
3. I was able to use King_Root even while the app didnt see the device and it recognized the device after I clicked connect.
4. The main ROM is very difficult to get around. You cant just click an app you side-loaded. Download a launcher that matches the android version. I used smart launcher, no reason, just the first I found. Use ADB to sideload on to the device.
(adb install "app name") https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/smart...1-build-054-android-apk-download/#description
5. From here I got full control to the apps I sideloaded. I am still having issues with connecting to BT on my note9 for the internet.
It is what it is... But thanks for the help. I hope anyone else looking finds this.
