You just put it in a folder and double tap on it to install it.

You have to install it after transferring it...

"Do not install unknown files" must be disabled.

I used it to transfer from the Samsung S4+ to Note 10+ and vice versa. Kitkat to Pie.

I use on the 10+ to save apps to reinstall when reloading after a factory reset, it works perfectly.
[General Questions and Answers] poechi15:
Yes i know.

Allow unknown sources is checked.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I'm using Pie. The app works perfectly for me.

There are similar apps, use the one I provided the link for.

I used a PC and cable to transfer the apk file(s) to the Android download folder. I've installed from app copies stored on the phone's SD card as well.

When ApkExport creates the apk copy it puts the copy in the ApkExport app folder. You move it from that folder to wherever you need it.

No clue what's going wrong for you unless it's a Android 10 or 11 screwups. Check permission settings on the app.
[General Questions and Answers] poechi15:
Yes it is a really strange problem.

Never had this bevore, even with adb or pm.

But thanks fpr trying to help me !

The problem is, for this device i dont have a custom ROM.

A factory reset also didnt help.

Hey guys, I recently bought a used car with a PX5 hu installed. It had been factory reset and setting up zlink has been a challenge for me and any advice or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Its telling me to synchronize the internet time and retry. I have set my phone to chicago centeral time and the same on hu.

I can connect bluetooth and use the hu though a2d2 but would really like to use the carplay option. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

It's either a setting or 3rd party apk causing the issue more than likely.

If you're running on Android 10 or 11 that could be the issue but I'm uncertain if that's the case.

The apk may run fine on Q and above unless Playstore made the app owner gut it, another possibility. I keep multiple copies of the original version of ApkExport in case this happens.

This is the version I know that works...
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If this is the app that you are trying to install then is not compatible with your Android version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.androidx in the case this is not the app that you are trying to install then you have to check if that app supports such old Android version.

A simple way to see if the issue comes from other side is trying to installing some app that supports Jelly Bean, you just have to download some app from your PC and then transfer it to your device and try to install it and see if it works, I start to thinking that even the Android version is a fake/generic and only the core OS is still working to the most basic functions.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I don't think that converting it to .tar would be the right way so in the process some files might be corrupt/unreadable but trying to unpack it in the same format that originally it is.

Keep the original file in a safe place to not corrupt it with a wrong method and work/try with a copy.

Search for how to unpack backups with .ab format or something similar like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18533567/how-to-extract-or-unpack-an-ab-file-android-backup-file

To compiling TWRP from source you should read something like this https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-noob-...twrp-from-source-step-by-step.3404024/page-15 and get better/complementary guides by seeking "How to compile TWRP from source" there are also many nice guides almost on every thread device that has support on XDA in the "ROM, recovery development section".

Regarding the touch issues as the Intel drivers are proprietary they're not always included in Linux distros so you could search for "How to add -your vendor- touchscreen drivers/support in Linux" this is just a reference of that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen in some cases can be downloaded through the command line in advanced recovery options.

I also tried to install the PlayStore: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...4-14-all-0-pr-219234122-android-apk-download/

But the same error happens
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
With ApkExport did you grant it storage permissions? It needs that to make copies.

Yes, on my huawei p8 lite i can create the APK and copy it to the other device. But on the device i can not install it. (Invalid APK)
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Installing from a folder in internal memory or SD card should work.

Have you tried clearing the data on the package installer apk and Google play Services?

Clear system cache.

No antivirus or antimalware running, a bundled app maybe?

Factory reset, maybe the system got corrupted*?

I've never seen this before... it's staring you in the face if you knew where to look.

*possible malware, rootkit etc infection on OS or firmware?!!

Abnormal behavior is a symptom.

Hi, since I'm not sure where to post this question then I must be at the right place...

I have this 21" tablet from a broken home bike (which cost a lot $$$). The tablet is in perfect shape but only runs the vendor app (useless to me).

I managed (after few days of searching) to hack my way into settings, unlock bootloader, Usb debug etc..

But I have no clue how to find any ROM or Rootkit for it (see attached)

Is there a way to flash it, or unlock/wipe or whatever and be able to use it as a normal tablet, or even just as an external display?

attached: some info I pulled using Skipsoft Toolkit
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
OK, now it looks to be more clear, the device was owned previously for some company, and it has in-built some security measures that only allows to re-install the same known apps.

sudo adb devices (works)

sudo adb reboot bootloader(works)

[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
I dont use linux to connect to my phone, however, your fastboot command is missing the command you wish to run. ie you are not telling it to do anything.

WHat do you get with sudo fastboot devices
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Probably you are talking about the Google Launcher, if there's nothing about Google Discover to hide it then you might change for another launcher.
[General Questions and Answers] mstrnemo:
thank you for your fast reply i have added a screenshot see below.

and i inserted a root command so i dont have to typ sudo infront the commands thought it would clean it up a bit.

Edit: also i am new to linux i just couldnt get the drivers to work on windows so i tried linux wich was supposedlly eassier ...

Edit:2 i made a typo there it was fastboot devices
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
It looks like an issue from your device itself.

In Windows you should put your device in fastboot mode and then open device manager, from where your device is listed (probably a mark exclamation) you have to update the driver searching for the directory where the Sony drivers are. Optionally Xperia Companion has in-built all the drivers.

Regarding the issue through Linux (assuming that you are not using a virtual box)I always Install both separately with sudo apt install fastboot and sudo apt install adb not with sudo apt install android-tools, this also make a path alongside the system file so I can open it in any place.

Try to open a terminal from inside the platform-tools directory if it makes some difference.
[General Questions and Answers] mstrnemo:
The problem in windows i had was with adb i could not get it to work then somehow i did it and then i tried it but in my infinite wisdom i decided i wanted to do it in the flashtool program.

when i tried to use it again i got an error message wich had something to do with drivers i found out wich is weird because i got it working in command then reinstalled the driver pack in flashtool wich apperntly wiped my drivers.

i had that worked and then i went back to trying to do it in adb fastboot but i could not get the adb drivers to work anymore.

i also have xperia compgnion already installed doesnt seem to do anything for me driver wise.

Now i read that doing all this is super easy in linux so i got vm installed lubuntu and then used the command but now fastboot devices wont work driving me crazy.

I tried those commands in lubuntu vm but it just said i already had the latest installed.

I was wanting to reinstall windows and start fresh is there any howto or maybe if your willing to show me step by step to do it the correct way installing the drivers in windows 10 would be greatly apriciated.

kind regards

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Always that I'm using Windows for a certain time with every device that I own as usual drivers are needed to be installed so finally this excessive number of drivers can cause some conflict.

The best bet right now would be starting from the scratch uninstalling all the drivers that you have then just install only what you need.

1.- https://developer.sony.com/develop/drivers/

2.- https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/13927/ extract it and connect your device when the tool prompts it for that.

3.- https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip extract it and put it in the main drive usually c: directory.

4.- For fastboot, in case your device is slightly old https://developer.sony.com/file/download/fastboot-driver/

These are more than enough to have it working.

Some of them could be redundant but won't hurt at all.

For easy task this also can be useful https://xdaforums.com/t/live-iso-fw...-installation-and-driver-issues-v3-2.3526755/ I would add that never prefer a VM over a Linux Live session and better yet, installed in some reserved partition.

I havent followed your issue, but, if the above is the case, maybe taking a logcat will show you the app that is controlling what is being blocked for installation, and you may be able to disable/uninstall that specific copmponent; if its not something critical like SystemUI.

[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
search youtube vanced, you download a utility called vanced manager. from that you can install YouTube vanced, vanced micro g and ymusic. microg, from magisk, is an alternative to Google play services. given that you are in a pickle and running stock ROM, would suggest a hard reset. after that, perhaps try installing a custom recovery like twrp and doing a full backup before messing around with stuff you haven't searched online.
[General Questions and Answers] u3500:
I don't think i will open magisk ever again, I just needed it for a game.

Btw, I use eu rom, miui 12.0.3 and I have orange fox recovery.

Isn't there any other option then hard reset? I downloaded google play services from apkpure. Before it I couldn't use youtube or any other app, now I can use, but can't login, I press add account in youtube, but nothing happens.

u can also download alternative app store forexample aurora app store gives u acces to everything in the googleplaystore but without the need to haveing to log in.

or

just back up your stuf individually and then wipe everything when u it is finished u will have your playstore back problem solved goodluck
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
most likely flashing microg on your device broke something at Google play services. if you think you can handle troubleshooting it and fixing it yourself, then there isn't a need for hard reset. if you don't feel like that would be a easy matter, my advice would be to hard reset it. messing around with stuff you aren't familiar could result in a soft brick, which is way worse than broken Google play services. make a hard reset, take a full backup with recovery, then mess around with magisk.

second, with magisk most of the time you are tweaking the game. if your phone can't handle the game without root, doubt you will improve it by a lot.

HI EVERYONE!

I want to flash new rom for my phone (Wiko View Max). But it isn't support twrp or cwm. Is there any way that I can flash my new rom for my phone?

Btw, I also wanna convert my file rom: .xz (.img.xz) into .zip file.

That it's.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you are looking for a GSI to flash onto your device then if it the file comes in xz format you can uncompress it using 7zip and after that the image inside is to flash it through fastboot, no need to convert it in zip format.
[General Questions and Answers] furquim97:
Is there any way to move apps or app data to the SD card using root or something like this on Android 11? I've tried partitioning my SD Card and using Link2SD as I've seen people suggesting but I have not been able to make it work.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
that sounds right up the Magisk path.

Alternatively, shell commands may succeed where your UI apps have failed. Many years ago I had a boot script (from XDA) that swapped the whole of my 0.5GB data partition with a 3GB partition on the sdcard. And that was well before Magisk.

I dont need to do it, so you will need to either do it yourself, or maybe ask on the magisk thread if anyone has done or knows of similar. I know the Vanced module reoplaces the youtube APK, so thats the app half to get you started.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The arrow most likely looks like something in the heaven and it reveals nothing of the issue, you can check instead within the TWRP logs or if you are transferring/sideloading it from the PC then you could find something by there checking in the terminal message, if it is an OTA update then it is particularly up to the ROM development itself.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The image you posted previously say things different than what you are transcribing here, in the fastbootd mode you had the option to boot to recovery, do that; go to recovery, from there you would find an option to factory reset/format data.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Do you mean that from the fastbootd (read well) mode you did go to recovery menu and this was what you found?

Did you try to go to bootloader from fastbootd mode?

And additionally go to fastboot mode from the recovery menu? (check the differences)

The idea is that fastbootd mode would offers different thing that fastboot mode option.

Do you have bootloader unlocked? (I don´t think but just in case.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No need to open multiple replies, you can respond just exactly where you want cutting down the text.

Well, it´s strange that the format data/factory reset isn´t an option but to get worst the things it´s an A/B device that doesn´t use exactly a recovery with all the features due to the lack of recovery partition.

Try with this tool what you can do with https://technastic.com/flash-stock-rom-nokia-ost-tool/ I know it could need USB debugging to be activated and bootloader to be locked usually was that way, check if it is the case.

If not then the last resort prior to take it to a service centre would be "Nokia 3.4 EDL mode flkashing methods", search this way and you´d find some tutorials in YT and more sites.
