[TOOL] Android Wear APK Tools: Sideload and Uninstall Apps to Android Wear - Other SmartWatches

Android Wear APK Tools:
A GUI application which allows you to install any APK straight to your watch (via adb) or uninstall any non-protected package directly. Much more convenient than doing it through the adb command line.

Connect your watch to your computer, enable ADB Debugging on your phone and your watch, and make sure ADB and the drivers are set up on your computer.

Doesnt work for me.
I opened it, clicked connect to watch, then it told me that it has connected, i can see the list of all the apps that i have installed on my phone. But android wear doesnt tell me that its connected.
I tried to uninstall an app, then it gave me an error. Then i tried installing an app, and it just stayed on "installing app, please wait" for a very very long time.

So, apparently you must have ADB already on the system path or in the main directory of this application and it must be accessible with the command "adb"

I am experiencing similar errors with the app. It tells me I am connected to my watch. I can't see any apps on the list. When trying to install an app it stops on "Installing app, Please wait..."

root required?
Does this require that the Android Wear device be rooted?

So writing all that code was easier than "adb install" ?

Try opening the PDF on your phone instead.

For me, I connect to watch alright, I see the apps list, but uninstalling takes forever.. :/
Much easier to use adb command. meh

My watch is detected by the pc but I see an empty directory ....and if I try to copy a file no way ....

Any idea ?

So the windows 10 users have no chance to enjoy this ???

[Q] help me..

i've firstly root.ok.n then xrecovery.ok..but then when i want to enable JIT following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877565,
my phone suddenly can't connect to wifi.and then the xrecovery cant be perform...and other things,how can i perform this operation?
(1: enable JIT (in a termnial or adb shell)
cd adb
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1
sh enable_jit.sh)
i connect the phone to pc an enable debug mode,run cmd,but pc says cant detect..watsoever..
can anyone help me?
If you followed all instructions for JIT and your wifi doesn't work means it wasn't the correct version of Busybox. I recommend you to install Titanium Backup hit Problems? and install busybox. Then, when you copy all files for JIT, don't copy busybox, because you have already the latest one. It should work. It happend to me, too. The nasty part is that you need to repair your Android with PcCompanion/ SEUS.
do i need to repair my phone first with pc companion or repeat again the step?
n how to run cmd?do i need to enable debug?i dont know how to do this instruction,1: enable JIT (in a termnial or adb shell)
cd adb
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1
sh enable_jit.sh
Well, if you have your phone rooted with superoneclick, then you got adb.exe. You need to access that folder into cmd. ex : c:\superoneclick\ and then with the phone connected (usb debug enabled) you can enter commands like adb shell and su. Try it. But wifi and xrecovery malfunctions are symptoms that something went wrong. Eventually repair with PcCompanion. Good Luck.
when i run the command prompt,it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file..is this because i didnt rooted my phone well?
Do you have adb.exe? Or superoneclick for root?
yeah.i have both.i downloaded superoneclick and inside ithave adb.exe..but when i click adb.exe,nothing happened.just a temporary command prompt about 2second and then its appeaered..
now open start-run->cmd and go to that folder. And only there you can run "adb shell".
So, in cmd you must be in that folder in order to input all commands.
go to that folder?what do u mean?open cmd from the folder?or open cmd and click to the folder?
sorry for the noob question..

This should look like. using commands like " cd .." to exit folder and use ' cd "name of folder" ' to enter one. it should work.
thank god.finally i know how to run command.thanks a lot redpik
guys..help me.how am i to solve this command error?
Please follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877565 .
If you connect your phone to computer, make sure not to mount the sdcard. So, click on USB CONNECTION and select TURN OFF from the status bar. Make sure you have SUPERUSER application installed to grant access.
If it helps you, please consider pressing Thanks button.
sorry redpik..
i got big probs.. my homescreen and apps icon become smaller and i dont know whats going on.
is it brick or something else?
i try to use pc companion and seus,but it keep saying no update for my phone..
seriously,this small icon thing make me crazy..
I don't know what's with the screen, shouldn't have happened. Seus says no update, but Repair button is active so you can make it brand new. Then try again rooting and jit.

Installing Amazon apps

1.Make an account for Amazon; you'll need to put a credit card into the account and have to turn on 1 Click
2.You'll well need to download: Download All Files from Android Market Place

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3.Download Android SDK
and extract it the C drive.
4.Download HTC Sync
and switch connection type to HTC Sync doesn't matter if it fails
5. copy the amazon appstore.apk to the tools folder. (C:\sdk\tools). DO NOT rename the files.
6. Open up a command prompt on your PC (In windows it's start, run, cmd) and change to the tools directory.
cd\
cd sdk\tools
After you change to that directory the prompt should say: c:\sdk\tools.
(if you don't want to keep doing this then Create a shortcut for CMD.exe on your desktop. Right click the CMD.exe shortcut and go to Properties.
In the Start in: bar, type in the directory C:\sdk\tools)
7. Type adb devices to verify that your computer can see the phone. If everything is working you should get a response that looks something like this:
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxx device
8. Once you verify that the computer and phone are connected type the following:
adb install nameofapp.apk (obviously changing the nameofapp part to whatever the file is named). should say success when its finish
9. Now open the amazon app and sign in, download any free app like Angry Birds Rio when its finished it will prompt you if you want to use installer or download all files choose download all files the apk will be downloaded to sdcard( if you get an error then go to amazon and purchase the app you want through there and open the amazon app on your phone while signed in to start download)
10 Switch the connection type to disk drive and look for the apk in the download folder and do same as Step 5,and 8 but before that switch the connection type to HTC Sync once again.
11.When its finish checked if it worked and you should be finish
By the way I don't claim the third party installation I just took a combination of things
Did I do Something Wrong??
Thanks for this detailed instruction on installing amazon app store.
Did I do something wrong when I installed amazon app store by inputting my phone number on the amazon app store web site??
I already had an amazon account, so i inputted my phone number on the web site page and the app downloaded to my phone and installed without a hitch, no problems.

you didnt do anything wrong. Thats how I did it too.
I just used the directions from the link below and used the 2d bar code on the top right to download the amazon app store.
It was a lot simpler to do then the directions provided in the first post
Code:
www*amazon*com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000626391
You will have to replace the * with a . if you copy and paste the contents of the code box
You all have rooted phones with the ability to use non-Market apps enabled, so of course Amazon Appstore will work naturally for you. This guide is intended for those using stock Arias that can't install .apk files directly on the phone because the ability to install apps from "Unknown sources" is disabled.
I have a rooted Aria and I still can't use it. I downloaded it without a problem, downloaded the free Angry Birds Rio app, and haven't been able to get it to work since then. Every time I open the Amazon app market app on my phone, it crashes. Dunno what the problem is.
Hm, nevermind. Just tried uninstalling and reinstalling the store app. Seems to be working now. We'll see how it goes this time!
Yup, this works on a stock Aria running 2.2. Did it on two seperate phones, and it works like a charm.
Tried another way to install amazon apps today and found it much easier.
Requirements: Amazon App Store, Android Injector, USB cable
1. Purchase or download app from amazon app store (personally did this with todays app of the day). Once downloaded, a pop up will notify you that it couldn't be installed because of the unknown source.
2. Connect your phone to your PC as a Disk Drive and turn on USB Debugging (Settings, Applications, Development)
3. Locate the .apk file at G:\Android\data\com.amazon.venezia\cache (replace G with the correct drive title for you)
4. Copy the .apk to your desktop or somewhere easy to find
5. Open Android Injector, select the .apk file on your desktop, install.

kingroot infected?

Hello all,
I recently started to get lots of popads on my device, so I ran my usual scan with Malwarebytes and it came up with KingRoot being heavily infected with malware. I cant uninstall, since its what i used to root and its also a system app. Any help?

or manually install supersu with a terminal emulator
http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
Ill try the rootjunky method in a few hours, I tried the terminal emulator installed and it just forceclosed all apps and rebooted.
Sent from my KFTBWI using XDA Labs
So I got a bit impatient, and decided to retry the w0lfdroid method. The same thing happened from last time (apps wouldnt open) and so I decided to reboot.
As the device began to shutdown, SuperSU appeared for a few seconds, then my device switched off. I believe I have bricked my device as it has been stuck on the 'fire' logo for the past 10 minutes. Congrats to me ._.
I tried to install adb and its drivers, however drivers wouldnt install saying 'windows couldnt find any driver software for you device' when i point it to the drivers. Any idea why?

Have I done it right? I hope I've done everything. Also when I open ADB a load of text flashes down the cmd box for about a second then it closes. Ran as administrator and everything. Hoping I can get this fixed by the weekend...
Ok, I think I got it.
Doing adb devices gives me G000HH0454340LB9, I beleive this is the correct device?
Anyways, plan is:
Boot into recovery on device and select apply update from adb
Get the 5.1.1 update (firmware it originally had) and place it in the folder adb installed in.
Do adb sideload (file name)
Wait (maybe grab a cup of coffee?)
Hopefully success, back to stock firmware!
Afterwards ill root with kingroot and then remove using rootjunky supertool.
Ok, this is getting kinda annoying.
Placed the update-kindle-32.5.4.1_user_541112720 .bin file in the same folder I have adb installed.
Booted devices into recovery mode, selected apply update from adb
Open adb, do adb sideload update-kindle-32.5.4.1_user_541112720
Get error message 'cannot read update-kindle-32.5.4.1_user_541112720'
Have ALL correct drivers and stuff installed @sd_shadow
Can anyone help? I really need this fixing...

try downloading the firmware again, or try a different version like 5.1.2
which version is on it now?
Sent from my KFFOWI using XDA Labs
The version on my device before it was bricked is 5.1.1. I'm staying on that version since its the easiest to root.

[GUIDE][Tool][WindowsOnly][NonRoot] USB Reverse Tethering

Hello there!
Since the most recent guide thread ((that I found) [GUIDE] USB Reverse Tethering - New method) does is quite
complicated for many and requires root and for the sake of simplicity, I wanted to present a simpler alternative
to you here in a separate thread, which works without root and is not outdated.
If this violates any XDA rules, please close the thread.
-This method works 100% on Android 9. For other versions you need to check.
-Very useful for people whose wifi module is broken (like mine x.x)
I will attach the .zip here as well as pictures for a better understanding.
Requirements are:
-A working USB connection
-USB debugging enabled.
-A Windows computer
-adb
First, of course, we need to unzip the .zip.
In this case it doesn't matter where.

}
Second, we need to open the console and go to the path of the extracted .zip
CD path\to\gnirhtet-rust-win64
Third, we press tab 2 times in the cmd, space, write install and press enter.
When that's finished, we press tab again twice, space and write run and press enter.
Alternatively, if "gnirehtet" is already installed, you can use the .bat, provided in the .zip to start it.
That's it! You got reverse usb tethering!
thank you for sharing, i followed the steps but didn't succeed in getting internet
i think you should mention having adb in systempath or just extract your program in adb directory
my steps were
get adb fastboot and extract it
get your program extracted inside adb directory
start cmd normally without admin rights
execute first command in your post to install ( returned success)
execute second command ( returnt 1 at the end ) but no internet
Code:
2022-07-30 00:41:44.389 ERROR Main: Cannot start client: Command adb ["reverse",
"localabstract:gnirehtet", "tcp:31416"] returned with value 1
i should am running AOSP 7.1
**solved
i report it working on AOSP 7.1

I think that's a problem of the application, which wants a specific connection e.g. wifi or mobile data.

It was creating the problem but then I just reflashed whole stock ROM and bam my phone is better than before
