[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyA325G:
Ah! Thanks. I didn't know that. I've never run that command before.

Thanks for guiding me on the missing steps.

Bearing in mind my phone isn't rootable...

And that the directions don't mention that "reboot" command...

First I picked up the latest BromiteSystemWebViewOverlay.zip file

<https://github.com/arovlad/bromite-webview-overlay/releases/latest>​

Then I connected Windows 10 adb over Wi-Fi like I always do.

adb devices​

adb connect 192.168.1.4:40161​

And then I ran the reboot sideload command

adb reboot sideload​

Wow... Strange things (new to me!) happened...

The screen went black saying at the bottom in white text...

#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#​

#Reason is []#​

Supported API: 3​

Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"..."​

Woah... I didnt' get a chance to touch anything but now the screen is way different ... reverse Ukrainian colors... (wasn't expecting this)...

What should I do next?

Here is a cut and paste from my Windows 10 command window.

I wasn't expecting a reboot... I was expecting... you know... normal adb stuff... I suspect I can't do this over Wi-Fi, right?

I'll try again once I figure out what button to press so as to get back to where I was before I tried this on Wi-Fi.... (note I do everything on Wi-Fi so it didn't occur to me that I needed a USB cable for this...).

OK. With the hardware volume keys I scrolled down to the Power off line item and pressed the hardware power key which turned the Power off green; but that just brought me back to the reverse-Ukrainian screen.

Since that didn't seem like it was getting me anywhere, I then rebooted by selecting the Reboot system now line item until it too turned Reboot system now green (all this is new to me); where maybe I was supposed to select the Apply update from ADB instead?

When I checked my Android 13 "Developer options" for "WebView implementation", it still says "none".

Can you guide me as to the step I was supposed to do next?

(I'll put it on USB next time I try it.)
