In the past I have uses adb to side load apps successfully. Now after I hit the return button after the apk name, the computer just sits there. No installation. I had rebooted the watch and the computer. No luck. I am on stock.
Any ideas?
I know it's a stupid question, but do you have USB debugging enabled?

Yes. All the steps went fine. Cd
Downloads, fastboot. adb devices adb. Install
It just stood with a blinking curser
It worked fine before. Now it just stops. Tried several apk
Sorry, cannot help with that issue, but Wondershare works very well for me. So good that i paid for the program to use long term to sideload. Has some other good features too, such as export, so I can download something on the Note 3, export it, then install on the Gear, all in a very short time period. Easy to use too.

It just started when I was trying to transfer files from my phone to win7.
It does it every time too:
When I connect the phone and the 'USB connection' window pops up, only 2 programs force close, Lookout and Folder Organizer. They do not force close if I connect using PC Mode, Windows Media Sync, or Charge Only. Just with USB Mass Storage, and it is consistent and always only those 2 programs. I took about 5 screenshots of logs while it was happening that I put in a zip if anyone can understand them. I am amazed how much log material there is even for one minute of time...
I am rooted, Eclipse 3. and those 2 programs have been installed for a few days with connections to the pc going without FC's.
Thank you

It's because the apps are running from the scars and when you mount it with windows your phone can't see it anymore
Hi Willis...thank u so much... did you know that from experience or did the logs indicate that?.. I could have sworn those were installed on main phone...odd.. because I have had both those programs for years each time I flash a rom.... I will move them...why didn't all the other apps on the sdcard fc? Just curious. So what lines in the log would indicate a fc. I briefly scanned them but could not fully understand them.

just from experience/problem solving/troubleshooting as well the fact that you mention everything works fine until you mount your sdcard as a mass storage device. Your logs indicated "unknown resources" when launching an app although I do some some dalvik permission errors after that which seems a little off but the resources are unknown/not found because they are removed from your phone when the card is mounted in the computer instead of the phone
****Follow Info, Warnings & guides on associated links / pages****
For those of you reading this and in this forum, and if you've rooted before, flashed a rom, or anything like that and got it to work, DO NOT be intimidated by using this method.
I found I actually quite liked Ubuntu (it was my first time using it myself). And it's rather easy.
This is the page I followed, and if you scroll down most of the way (use the one at post #30 ircc) there's a video too. I set up my screen so it was just like in the video, plus a "window" to watch the video too. The directions are exact, what I liked about the video is you could see it run and the results, which helped me realize where things went wrong after it failed about 3 times or so.
***Thanks to drjbliss (method), SamuriHL (HoB & more), & Tomsgt123 (video)***
Things upfront:
I used a Bootable USB, You can do it with a Bootable / "live" CD, but admittedly I thought USB was quicker to set-up and in hindsight probably was beneficial. So that's what I recommend.
Get Ubuntu (img/iso) & follow the directions from HERE.
Make the USB, then restart your computer, and at boot screen, choose boot from USB.
Here's where it saved me and and I'll recommend something else here, not in the instructions... yes it's going to take a bit longer but in the end I spent almost a whole Saturday doing this and this would've made it about an hour had I done it first. It was the solution to 2 errors I had, that took a while to realize where they were and find a fix.
In Ubuntu, open a "terminal" which is like a windows cmd / command window.
I couldn't find a button or anything on a menu to do this so I found out it's either alt + t or ctrl + alt + t.
at the Ubuntu terminal command prompt:
use these 2 commands to update Ubuntu and Samba.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
[IIRC] The Ubuntu one will tell you it needs and additional 250 (or so) MB's hit ok or accept and let it update. Then do the next and update Samba.
I'm not exactly sure but I doubt I would've been able to do this with a cd being that it couldn't write to it.
This took care of all errors I ran into using this Root method, and it was a bit frustrating because if you don't know what you're looking for or at, you can get to the end and it says exploit finished or complete or something and you think you're good to go.
On to the root instructions & Video...
I opened (2) terminal windows, you have to manually put them on the same screen or it will move them to multiple ones and that doesn't help so much.
If it does, use the button on the side that looks like (4) windows and pick & drag everything back to one screen.
Errors or what to look for:
when you run this command: sudo apt-get install samba
if it says (something) "unknown" or "Failed" - Samba didn't install, try again. (update if you skipped that part)
when you try to connect remotely over WIFI...
If you get "network connection error / failed", Samba didn't install, or Samba needs update (if you skipped that), or make sure you use the right IP address, a few of them will come up. I found for me it had nothing to with my network and I had the right IP the first time I tried.
****NOTICE****
Ubuntu will let you keep going and continue to run the commands seemingly normally. Even to the end and tell you "exploit complete" (or something like that) So if you get to the end and you don't have root go back and examine your terminal screen. Compare it to the one in the video, something won't match, and there's the issue.
I did notice the "numbers" didn't always match as it ran thru the processes, but make sure it looks like your getting the same type of results and runs thru the process.
I needed to update Ubuntu to update Samba that's why I recommend doing both first.
Once you set-up & update your USB the whole thing shouldn't take more than 15-20 mins or so.
Good luck.
It's really not hard, just follow the instructions.
I tried following the steps for Jelly Bean root, but I think the samba share thing may be holding me back. I know how to do it, that's not the problem. The problem is, I don't have a wifi setup at home, so I wouldn't be able to connect to the Ubuntu live image even if I could set up my Files app the way I'm instructed to. When I go to the section in the Files app to input the information, I don't have all the fields show up for the necessary information. Plus I have a version of Ubuntu running on my laptop that shouldn't require a wireless connection between my phone and the computer, since I can just plug the thing into it. I know this method has worked for many people, and I'm not exactly a noob, my first Android phone was the very first one, the G1. With each Droid style phone I got, I had it rooted within either hours or days, so I am capable of doing it. Also, I know there either isn't a one-click method yet or if there is I can't find it, but is there a way to circumvent the whole samba thing so I don't have to mess with the wifi connect? Finally, and thank you for your patience in reading such a long text, worst case scenario; if I were to try to fxz back to ICS stock (I know it'd more-than-likely brick my phone), is there an unbrick method for those of us who've let themselves spend way to much time obsessing over their phone (I tend to get a little tunnel visioned when it comes to this stuff), or would I be totally screwed? As many on this forum, thanks for all the hard work, and I apologize in advance if I seem a little whiny about this. I should point out that even without the wireless connection between the phone and the computer, the program still runs and displays the terminal screen that roots the phone. It stops just a few lines after the "push a hardware button" phase to make it vibrate. It never vibrates, but Superuser does get copied to the phone, it just install the binaries for it.
Hopefully someone can help me because I have been stuck for days and I have researched nonstop. My phone was working fine and could connect to my pc a week ago. I installed Android SDK and eclipse so I could try and develop an application. Now that I have installed it, my phone will not connect to my PC. My tablet will not either. I have ticked the USB debugging on and off, updating drivers from Motorola as well as the Google usb drivers from the sdk manager. When i type in the command for adb devices, no device is shown. In the device manager, my device does not show up. It doesn't even charge anymore. I have the original cords, but have tried others just in case. I am running Windows 8.0 if that makes a difference.

do you actually need eclipse? did you try uninstalling everything to see if you could connect again?
likely you do not need eclipse and should have just installed the sdk but i have never had the problem you are describing. i would just uninstall everything and get it working again then re-try installing whatever you want to

I may sound stupid because I don't know enough about this.. But don't I need eclipse to make an application? I am going to try to make an application for my class, and thought I needed eclipse and the sdk. I am currently uninstalling it all to see if it helps any.

well there are other IDEs out there besides eclipse but you can use that one. Sounds like you are about to have a pretty big uphill battle creating an app lol.
But if you get everything to work without anything installed, try re downloading and installing everything without your phone plugged into the computer. I have no idea if that would work or if it would matter at all but it could i guess. that's where i would start. it should screw anything up on your computer that wouldn't let you connect your phone but maybe something weird happened.
i just did some research and only found people having similar problems with samsung phones. And the solution was downloading some kies program for samsung phones. so idk what else to tell you.

Ahhhh it worked! My pc will finally recognize my device. I'm not sure what the problem was either, I got the same results when I was researching. No one seemed to have the exact same problem.
I'm definitely going to have some problems trying to create an app haha.. The SDK came with eclipse, so I just assumed I had to use it. I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head! Is there another IDE that you recommend? The easiest method is the method I'm going to take for sure.

eclipse is fine. a lot of people use it. just search through xda and you will find threads teaching you how to build apps, but unless you are going to spend a good amount of time or already know how to code, prepare to be ticked off.

I have 10 weeks left to make it, so I've got plenty of time. I know how to code a little bit, but I'm not very good at it. I'll give eclipse a try and see if it works this time. Thanks for the help!

no prob
So after encountering the annoying 505 error I did a full back up via the Backup app as sync manager on the laptop wasn't playing ball.
Did the hard factory reset and then restored from the back up file I had made 10 minutes beforehand.
Most things have restored but I went to check a picture and ALL GONE!
Things like whatsapp messages and contacts didn't restore either.
What can do to recover the lost images?
and typically none of it worked to solve the 505 error.
I know this isn't the usual standard of question on this forum but is anyone able to shed some light on my problem?
Does the HTC Backup program, back up images or is that an oversight on my part?
ok so it seems that i'm an idiot and htc doesn't back up images on an htc account back up.
I'm now trying to run my phone through recovery software (MagicCute Recovery) but the program won't recognize the phone, I guess because it's not a mass storage device and connects via MTP?
I read a guild to turn on developer mode and then turn on USB debugging but that hasn't made any difference.
If there a way to plug my phone in and the computer to recognize it as a mass storage device?

check google playstore for undelete software, plenty on there, be careful about how much you install or uninstall.
Dont know if your aware of this, but nothing is ever really deleted, its flagged as safe to be overwritten and hidden from the user, too much installing or un-installing apps will overwite the flagged images.

I am sure that when connected to a Linux machine it shows as an external drive...not sure if that helps at all ?
If what i suggest is true then you can run Linux within windows from a USB drive,but clearly your recovery software has to be a linux compatible version.
Just a suggestion rather than fact!

Currently browsing play store now, is there any you can recommend?
I wasn't fully aware of how it works but I knew I could recovery most with some nifty software. MagicCute has worked wonders in the past for me.
At least all my music is stored in music play store.
I found a PC based program to scan the phone but the phone requires to me rooted for that, although that was my main reason for joining this forum to root I'm a little apprehensive to do anything like that until I have saved my pics!
Cheers.

Someone else said they had great luck with DiskDigger Pro
Good luck!
Sorry sheppster, completely missed your reply somehow yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks clsa I'll give that a go once rooted.
I'm currently reading, reading watching and rewatching content on the rooting process. Very confusing for a complete and utter noob. A lot of content is spoken as if I have a clue, haha.
But I'm now registered on HTC DEV, all videos and content say to select all other supported devices due to the HTC One not being listed, but it is. I'm guessing HTC Dev has been updated since the guides were posted. Shall I click HTC One or still use other devices?
I installed Android Studio and also JDK which it asked for, but when continuing to install Android Studio I got the following message...
Is this detrimental to the use of the program or can I just continue?
Sorry this thread is going to turn into more of a rooting Q&A.
I now have sync manager working correctly and have made a back up on my laptop which I'm happier with than having something floating about in my HTC Account. So I think I'll go ahead and try unlocking my bootloader.
Well I have unlooked the bootloader now. Successfully? Not sure!
After confirming to unlock it then restarted and kept going round in circles, it's now saying "Android is upgrading" running through 253 apps. Nothing like the XDA video where it just restarts as a fresh phone.
I used the HTC One instructions from the drop down menu in the end.
Fingers crossed at the end of that it's working and I can continue to root.
Well considering I have an early start I've stayed up far too long messing around.
BUT! My phone is now rooted, I did attempt putting a venom rom on but it didn't install properly although I seem to have a large ammount of it's features here and there like being able to boot directly to bootloader or recovery from the power button.
But any way the lapcop software I had appeared to be useless, it found 603 images from various emails and programs files none on my actual pictures. I'm not running disk digger which again has found background images but still 85% left to scan.
I'm not holding out too much hope now as there's been a few files added and deleted to root and also reset again to root.
I'll update tomorrow how it went.
I didn't realise how cheap Disk Digger Pro was, so bought and ran that last night. I think it found touch under 4000 images but again mostly PNG program images.
It did manager to find 41 useful images though. It seemed to mainly pick up pictures which I had recently used on facebook, so annoyingly mainly recoverable images through facebook.
It picked up a lot of signatures from various emails and made a lot of duplicates. Not a bad effort for under 2 quid though.
File transfer does not work (keeps falling back to "USB for charging" always)
Hi,
as the title suggests for a very long time (>1 month) my file transfer does not work.
The only way I can transfer files from PC to the phone is reboot into recovery (TWRP) and there it works normally, but it's a pain in the a...rm.
I've also tried different ROMs with the same effect, although I remember it did work very briefly for one boot cycle before I finished setting everything up and now it doesn't work again.
My suspicion is that some hidden setting that I'm not aware of is in conflict with the file transfer feature. Or maybe Xiaomi doesn't like it when you deny Mi Cloud permissions etc. and that's the way they get back at you, IDK!
Nobody else experiences this? Cause I didn't find too many complaints about this in the forum.
Happy new year and a very good and successful start into 2020, everyone.
If you not sure what cause the problem, just switch to another rom or do a hard reset.

First, do you have the correct drivers installed on your PC to identify your device?
Second, you can always turn on USB Debugging and see if that allows you to use FTP.
Third, if you have turned on USB Debugging, you can use adb push.
If I wanted to transfer Roblox to my phone, I would do this
adb push C:\Users\SenseiCheekClapper\Downloads\Roblox.apk /sdcard
To make it a hell of a lot easier, just type adb push, drag the file into the terminal and it will autofill the file location, and then type /sdcard.

When I have had this problem it has always turned out to be the USB-cable that was the culprit. This phone is very picky when it comes to cable, both for file transfer and Android Auto, at least for me! The original cable doesn't always work all the time for me, but a good quality cable of another brand always works for me.
