Unable to install android app via usb debugging

I know this is an old question but I am trying to install my app the very first time on Redmi note 4.
Whenever i try to install it displays a dialog saying..
Installation failed with message Failed to establish session.
It is possible that this issue is resolved by uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it is present, and then re-installing.
WARNING: Uninstalling will remove the application data!
And it gives error after this.
This app is not installed before,I have cleared cache,rebuild the project,restarted my phone but nothing is working.

How to disabling Miui Optimizations
This issue was happening on my phone which is Xiaomi Phones running on Miui 8. After turning off Miui Optimizations on Developer Settings, restarting the phone a recompiling the application it worked.
for more detail: android gradle:2.3.0 install apk fail

Open
1.File
2.Settings
3.Build,Execution,Deployment
4.Instant Run
5.Un-check (Enable Instant Run to hot swap code)
Its work for me..

I'm Using Redmi Note 4 mobile (Xiaomi Phone). I got the same problem.
Problem Resolved:
Go to setting >> Additional settings >> Developer options >>Turning off MIUI Optimizations
and also turn on USB debugging and install via USB.
And then restart your phone. After that, I am sure that your problem will be solved.

I didn't have to turn off MIUI optimizations (using MIUI v8.5.3.0 MAGCNED). In my case I was blocked by the MIUI security system.
Go to Settings > Additional settings > Developer Options
Turn ON USB Debugging
Turn ON install via USB
Turn OFF Verify apps over USB.
Once you do this MIUI will prompt you whether you want to install your app. You only need to accept permission once.
One strange issue I notice is that I cannot enable install via USB without sim card. However, Once it is enabled I am able to remove the sim.

have so much pain looking for this way. just scroll down to bottom and you will find it.

The latest version of Android OS will have multiple user logins like admin and guest, whenever we install an app through USB debugging, that .apk file will be installed for all users in the mobile, Uninstall the .apk file from all the users including guest login.

Turn off Developer Option
Restart your mobile
Turn on Developer Option
Turn on Usb debugging
Worked for me. Hope it works for others...

This issue occurs sometime I have also faced the same issue.
Try the following steps
Go to Settings > Additional settings > Developer Options
Off your Developer Option and re-On it
On - USB debugging
and press Revoke USB debugging authorization
I hope it will work.

In my case Faced the Same Issue with My Redmi 3s PRIME and I can't able to enable the Install Via USB and it asks to connect Network So I tried the Following Method and luckily it works...!!
Open Inbuilt Securit App.
Click On Optimize. (While Scanning, It Disables the Developer Option )
Now Open Settings->About Phone-> Tap On MIUI Version to Enable the Developer Option
Open Additional Settings -> Developer Options.
Now Re-enable the USB Debugging it automatically enables the Install Via USB
In Android Studio Disable Instant Run Settings>Build, Execution, Deployment>Instant Run
Now Run the App with Android Studio.

I had a similar issue. Manifest file had an option:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.actions" />
which was causing the issue. I removed it and everything started working fine.

you can also check the build gradle, the minSDKVersion should match with your physical device

If your app is already installed then uninstall it from your phone and try again.
Then try this:
TURN OFF & ON "Developer options".
ENABLE "USB DEBUGGING" again.
CLICK on "REVOKE USB DEBUGGING AUTHORIZATIONS".
Then try to run again and accept the popped-up msg to verify the access.
If that doesn't help,
Try this:
Step 1: Go to "Setting" → "Developer options" in System.
Step 2: TURN ON "Verify apps over USB" in Debugging section.
Step 3: Try "Run app" in Android Studio again!
If none of these techniques helped, you may check your phone usb driver.

I am using redme note3 as I update os to 6.0 Marshmellow,this error came frequently when I tried to install apk in my phone using android studio.
One problem occurs that i couldnt change install app using usb option in developer menu .So One solution I got for Xiomi phone
1.login in into your mi cloud
2.Then on install app using usb option in developer menu
3.Again run android studio.
4.It works

In your android phone go to
Settings
Developer options
In that, enable developer options, and then
Enable USB debugging and Install via USB.
That's all I had to do to run my project on a real device. And it worked for me.

Android Studio Stuck on "Installing APK"

Android Studio no longer seems to be detecting when an app has installed on a target device and opened. It gets stuck on "Installing APK" and the progress bar is empty. There are no errors, the apk successfully installs and opens, it's just the IDE is still showing "Installing APK" and it does not automatically connect the debugger. I can manually connect the debugger using the "Attach debugger to Android process button", but this is not ideal.
Can anyone offer any suggestions for what's up and how to resolve it?

It turns out the problem wasn't with Android Studio, but with the device I was using for testing. I tried a different device and it behaved normally, progressing beyond "Installing APK" and stopping on breakpoints.
Somehow the "wait for debugger" setting in developer options on the problem device had switched to off. I switched this back on and now this device is behaving normally.
-Note that I had to choose an arbitrary debug app for the setting to become active. Once I'd set it on, I deselected the debug app and the setting remained on, as I left it. This was a HUAWEI P8 running android 6.0 API Level 23.

Recently, I was facing the same issue when I have updated My Device (MI A1) OS from Android Oreo(8.0) to Android Pie(9.0),
Solution: Go to the Settings > Developer options > Now click on > Revoke USB debugging authorisations.
It will disable/remove developer options from your device, Now restart your device once and then you just need to re-enable your developer options and that all you need to do, Enjoy Developing on Pie.
Hope this will help you as well.. :)

I found a solution that works for me. In Developer Options turn off "Monitor apps installed by ADB".

Just reboot your phone (:
It happens after update android version.

On my HTC One I unchecked “Verify apps over USB” in Settings -> Developer Options.

I had this same problem. I solved it by revoking USB Debugging Authorizations and then re-enabling USB Debugging on my chosen device(s).
Edit: Cleaning my project also helped with solving this problem.

for me it was something magic
I solve it by removing the USB from the Laptop and from mobile too(type-c cable) and
turning off the debugging mode and again turn it on
and then I connect it back to my Laptop and selected the same FILE TRANSFER MODE
then run the app and it get installed to my device and work as expected
Hope you will find Useful to

I have this problem recently on my Pixel 2 testing device, latest factory image with Android Studio 3.4, on windows 10.
I have tried all methods mentioned but none of them work. It cost me more than 6 hours to figure it out.
My problem is the USB driver, I am not using the "perfect" USB driver. My driver works in most scenarios and commands but not in every scenario.
You do not need Android Studio to dig into this problem, just using adb.
Please try if you can install apk from adb using following command:
adb install xxxx.apk
If it stuck at "performing streamed install" but never finish, this is the problem.
Please try push a big file(more than 5MB) to your device:
adb push xxxx.apk /storage/emulated/0
In my testing, it stuck at 13%, 16%, etc, but never go on. It seems cannot transfer large files. This is why the installation is pending in my case.
I update the driver to another one, and the problem is fixed. Hope it can solve your problem, too.

I had the exact same problem.
what's more, i can not adb shell and adb push files.
I am running an Ubuntu 18.04 VM and test on xiaomi phone 8,9.
The problem for me was the USB Compatibility setting for the VM was set to 2.0, it needs to be at least 3.0. To change the setting power down the VM and choose the "Edit virtual machine settings" in the VMPlayer startup menu. Then select the "USB Controller" device and change "USB Compatibility" to USB 3.0.
Hope this can help u!

It doesn't hurt to verify your USB port. In my case it was the faulty USB port which I had to switch to the mobo's one instead of the case port.

Restarting Android studio worked for me

I tried rebooting my phone and it worked.

When attach my mobile to my PC, the follow menu is showed. I Clicke on it.
In the next section, I had changed from "USB connection" to "Transfer files"
After that adb install works for me.

In my case, Second Space was created but not switched on. I had to delete the second space and everything worked just fine.
My settings are:
Usb debugging -> ON
Install via Usb -> ON
Verify over USB -> ON
Wait for debugger -> ON
Device: Redmi Note 5 Pro

I had this issue with an emulator on Linux. After trying pretty much every solution and suggestion on this page, what made it work for me was turning off Instant Run.

In my case i did not make sure that my android studio DSK manager was up to date with the android version that my device was operating on. So when running flutter doctor all seemed well, and i had the latest android version and all on android studio, but as mentioned it was not matching the version for my device i had connected.
Once i added the correct android version (in my case android 6.0) with SDK manager using android studio, it did not get stuck at installing apk.

My case was similar but for Android Version 10 required having the Verify bytecode of debuggable apps to off.
Final settings were:
USB debugging -> ON
Wait for debugger -> ON
Verify apps over USB -> ON
Verify bytecode of debuggable apps -> OFF
Device: Pixel XL

For me, the top answer "wait for debugger" was completely greyed out.
What worked for me was to look inside "Apps" and I noticed the app was uninstalled, but only for my current user. Clicking uninstall for all users unblocked the installation via Android Studio again.

Check following in your project
build-gradle plugin version in project level build.gradle file
gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties file
buildToolsVersion

uninstalling the previous installed app worked for me

Turn off Verify apps over USB and Verify bytecode for debuggable apps (might not be available for all devices) in your Developer settings menu. The install time will decrease drastically.

I'm using Visual Studio Xamarin and the issue was caused by the missing CPU architecture. After checking them, the APK became installable via adb install ...

Just reboot your mobile . If not working try reboot your Android studio and mobile.

Android Studio doesn't recognize my device

Here is the problem. I want to run my Android Studio apps on my device (Samsung Galaxy Ace 2). But nothing works for me. Tell me what I've missed:
1) USB debugging is on
2) ADB driver is installed (in device manager i can see Android Composite ADB Interface)
3) ADB device list is still clear, even if i reset server(adb kill-server, adb start-server, adb devices - list of devices is clear)
4) in google usb driver directory, in android_winusb.inf file I added my device identificators
5) Android device manager still cannot connect to my device, showing this error when I reset it: "adb connection error an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"
So I will be glad to hear any advices. Hope you'll help me

Did you try to configure the "Media Mode" in "Camera (PTP)" instead of "Media device (MTP)"? This is sometimes solving the issue. Its in the USB Computer Connection options of your Android device, you should see an "authorize" dialog then.
Update 04/2017: looks like it has been fixed in Android 7.1.2

I have done numerous ways of handling that issue. Finally it has worked! I am using LG Optimus II, but I believe the following steps are generic to other Android devices as well.
Step 1:
Make sure your device is enabled for development. If yes, go to Step 2, otherwise go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times which is magic number :-).
Now Developer Options is available in the Settings.
Step 2:
Before you plug your device to PC, Go to Settings > Developer Options and select USB Connection method.
Step 3:
Plug the phone to the PC, you are given options for the USB Connection method, and please select Internet connection. Make sure you have connected to the Internet. By the way, I have changed MTP to PTP, it did not work for me. Therefore, I tried Internet connection mode, then it worked.
Step 4:
Run the app in the Android Studio, it will ask you to authorize the device for development, and select YES!.
Step 5:
Run the application via Android Studio and choose the device, not emulator, and BINGO! Welcome to Android development board.

Try swapping the USB port the cable is plugged into.
Sounds crazy but after 20 minutes of debugging this worked for me.

I also tried above solutions but got no luck. So here's what I did:
Download and install PdaNet+ to fix connection issues between my computer and android device
Enable USB debugging on my android device
Unplug the phone and plug it again after it's installed
Run my app and voila! My android device is now recognized by Android Studio

Although my computer could recognise my phone, I had to install the official drivers from the Samsung developer site to get adb/Android Studio to recognise it:
Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows

Click Revoke USB debugging authorization in Developer option and try it again.

Solution for those working with Huawei phones - You will get this error when ADB interface is not installed. Check if you have installed Huawei HiSuite. USB driver gets installed when you install HiSuite (I suppose this is true for most of the new phones that come with a Sync Software). If the ADB interface is installed on your computer you should see 'Android Composite ADB Interface' under Android Phone in your Device Manager as shown in this picture.

If you have Mi Device than you need to enable this two option after enabling Developer Mode.
USB Debugging (Enable = True)
Install via USB (Enable = True)
See this screenshot.

LG Optimus Zone 2 pp415 d\n connect in mtp, but does work in internet connection mode. Lost lots of time messing with it. There's no doc for this, but I'd suggest trying all 4 of the connection options. Only 1 that works for me is Internet Connection->Ethernet, then win 8 auto-detects a driver and installs it. In MTP mode despite all drivers being registered with device manager, adb doesn't pick it up.

I had the same problem. So here is what i did
reinstalled the device driver
changed the USB computer connection from MTP to Mass storage(UMS)
And it worked.

For me, I tried the above. Turns out my USB cable was bad. I changed the cable and then it worked.

I am sorry that i bothered you all. The problem was my device is cloned in different places in device manager. It was gone when I tried to update driver for my phone in "Other devices" list, and before i have been updating it in wrong sections. Thank you all.

In my case it was due to already running and hanged adb.exe on another user under my PC. I had two users on my PC, the second user had the adb.exe process hanged even when I tried to end the process. It worked with me after (End Process Tree) from the Task Manager.
Hope this will help someone with multiple users :)

In addition to the above configurations, I had to set deployment target to "Open Select Deployment Target Dialog", run once (choosing my device from the options listed), and from then on Android Studio was able to see my device even after changing the deployment setting back to "USB Device". My SWAG is that since Android Studio uses its own internal cache to find your device, it has to be initialized first.

I was on Samsung S8 and had same problem too. After I installed Samsung Kies, issues was resolved for me, as I believe it had updated the correct driver required for my Samsung S8.

On Windows 7 , the only thing that worked for me is this. Go to Device Manager -> Under Android Phone -> Right Click and select 'enable'

i had to install android studio in 2 machines and ive solved this problem intalling samnsung kies, i use 3 diferents samnsung devices (plus some other of my family and friends) and i dont have to strugle with the drivers, it works for me and i recomend it. hope it helps

For me, this ended up being because I had the wrong SDK level installed (new version of Android Studio installed the SDK for Android 10, whereas I have a device that runs only Android 8.1). While Android Studio would "recognize" the device and display a string in the "devices" menu instead of just saying that no device was connected, installing the right SDK level for my device ended up changing the string to something recognizable (my device's model name) and allowed me to actually run my app over ADB.

I had a big problem with my Samsung S10 Plus as it was not detecded by Android Studio on my Macbook even if I did all what is required to be detected, that is to say:
Enable developer mode (7 taps on Build version in Android settings)
Enable USB debugging
What I did is to start "Android File Transfer" on my Macbook and the magic happened. A popup appeared on my device asking if I want to authorize an USB access to it. I clicked "Yes, always" and now Android Studio can detect my device on my Mac :)

Change the connection method Build-In CD ROM it works for me

On HTC mini one 2, besides enabling the Developer Options, the following worked for me:
Go to More in Wireless & Networks
Mobile Network Sharing
In USB network setting
Select Internet pass-through

why eclipse can not detect android device?

Eclipse can't detect my android device but it can run with the emulator. i have no problem with the android device setting since it work well in my old laptop.
any idea?

When you start the Device sometimes adb doesn't recognize it because it has already started. So, in that case you just need to reset adb from DDMS->Devices

Go to android-sdk/platform-tools/ via command promt...
write command.. adb devices (It will show the list of attached devices)
If its not display device number then look at the drivers of device on your system. And if display then just restart eclipse..

Check that the android:minSdkVersion is lower or equal to the Version running on the phone. If it is higher it wont show on "Android Device Chooser"

Also, after installing the usb drivers you may need to set your Android device to developer mode and enable USB debugging on your device before it will be seen by adb or eclipse. From http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html
2.Enable USB debugging on your device. ◦On most devices running Android 3.2 or older, you can find the option under Settings > Applications > Development.
On Android 4.0 and newer, it's in Settings > Developer options.
Note: On Android 4.2 and newer, Developer options is hidden by default. To make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options.

In my case, i ran adb-devices and it did show my device and it was unauthorized on the PC I was using.
I went to developer tools and disabled and then enabled USB debugging. It then prompted me for authorization for that computer, and then it worked fine.
Hope this helps someone.

Try connecting using the command prompt ./adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555

If you are running Linux you will have to add your device to the /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file.
Have a look here: http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html . Its a document on using hardware devices.

haven't you enable 'debug mode' in your Android device?
If not, then please enable it first. Then follow the steps in this article.
This example use Lenovo P770 as a device.

-hope this is helpful, :).

just install any driver are any compatibility software provided by your device provider like Samsung provide kies,Htc provide Sync etc..
Either check check your sysytem or antivirus not block it.
