Im trying to run an application on my GS5 from android studio and Im getting this:
Waiting for device.
Target device: samsung-sm_g900v-f3af9744
Uploading file
local path: D:\Android\Projects\TestProject\build\outputs\apk\TestProject-debug.apk
remote path: /data/local/tmp/com.brian.testproject
Installing com.datascan.mobilescripts
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.brian.testproject"
Aborted
It seems to be copying the file to the device, I can see it in the /data/local/tmp directory. Its just failing at the "pm install" stage.
On the phone I turned on USB Debugging and authorized the computer. Here is what I get when I run ADB devices:
D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
f3af9744 device
So that seems to be correct. Im not really sure what the problem is. Google search on the problem didnt give me any relevant results.
Does anyone know how to get more information beyond "Aborted"? Any help is appreciated, Thanks!
EDIT:
As suggested by #AlexP. I ran "adb logcat -d -s PackageManager:*", this was the result:
D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb logcat -d -s PackageManager:*
--------- beginning of main
--------- beginning of system
Not much help, but I did decide to watch the logcat as the pm install was being run and I found this error entry:
Tag=appproc | Text= ERROR: Could not find class 'com.android.commands.pm.Pm'
Tag=art | Text= art.runtime/thread.cc:1105] No pending exeption expected: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.android.commands.pm.Pm" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/system/framework/pm.jar"],nativeLibraryDirectories=]/vendor/lib, /system/lib]]
Followed by a whole slew of art error entries.
So it seems as though my phone is missing something, maybe?
The reason that Android Studio fails on Galaxy S5 is because the adbd (ADB service on the phone not your PC), on rooted version of this phone does not run as root, which is a security measure. You can verify this by manually trying to execute the Android Studio apk and execute commands on the device and finding out that they are failing to execute, but retrying them using "su ..." and see that the app installs and starts on the device. There are three options to resolve this and unblock Android Studio:
Options:
Flash a ROM that includes the modification - not desired as from my understanding you would like to stay on the stock image; also a good security measure not to have adbd running as root all the time. Older roms fall in this category as well, but then you are missing Stock Rom updates and security patches.
Create a custom boot.img and flash it to your phone - this is basically a custom kernel and not desired for a similar reasons than above option 1.
Restart adbd on your device with root privileges when doing app development - preferred and achievable fairly easy thru various methods including:
Preferred Solution:
a. Restart adbd with root privileges (insecure mode) by killing the service on the phone and using a terminal app or so to restart it using "su". After you are done with your app development, restart your phone and adbd will be back in secure mode, restoring the security measures.
b. Use Chainfire's ADB insecure app, which is free on XDA (download/link below) or pay for it on Google Play to support his work. You can toggle the mode in the app. In the app, you also have an option to auto re-enable the insecure mode on reboots.

Possible Solutions :
1. Check if your app had left any datas :
First if the app is already installed, then clean cache data and uninstall it
Under "System Settings" then "Application Manager"
http://i.stack.imgur.com/b3oys.jpg
Then
Force uninstall by running & adb shell pm uninstall com.brian.testproject
Check "/data/data/com.brian.testproject/" and delete it
Remove any entries of your package on /data/system/packages.xml
Remove any entries of your package on /data/system/packages.list
Also you could install SDMaiD and clean your device, especially with "CorpseFinder" and "AppCleaner"
2. Try to install the app manually and debug the result :
In your case you have an issue with pm over android studio... install it manually to have a more detailed message over command line
$ adb push D:\Android\..\TestProject-debug.apk /sdcard/myapp.apk
$ adb shell pm install /sdcard/myapp.apk
3. Check Android Studio and your app sources
Change the targeted api level :
Right click on your app dir + Open Module Settings + app + check sdk version + change target and minimum under "Flavor"
Sync gradle button
Rebuild project

Update your android studio if you don't have the last release
If your app use libraries, you have to recompile them.
4. Check System Settings :
Check BOOTCLASSPATH of your init.rc. BOOTCLASSPATH must include /system/framework/ext.jar and /system/framework/framework.jar and so on.
Check DEXPREOPT_BOOT_JARS of build/core/dex_preopt.mk. DEXPREOPT_BOOT_JARS must include ext and framework and so on.
The order of all items on BOOTCLASSPATH must be equal to the order of all items on DEXPREOPT_BOOT_JARS.
5. Try pm command directly on the device :
if pm command does not work try that command with a terminal directly on the phone to see if it's a connection issue between pc and phone
pm install /sdcard/myapp.apk
6. Reinstall your rom once again (just reinstall it) no need to erase.
For anyone having this same issue, unfortunately the only solution that I could find was to downgrade my ROM version (to OA8). Once I did that, adb works perfectly. If anyone finds a better solution I'd be definitely like to know.
Android Studio
step 1: Go to file--> invalidate and restart.
step 2: Clean and rebuild project.
step 3: go to project folder run
gradle clean
step 4: restart phone/Emulator.
Done !!!

There is a need to install your application as a system one. To do this, I rooted the Samsung A04 (Android 12) using Magisk.
Next, to install my app, I wanted to copy it to /system/priv-app using
adb push /system/priv-app
To do this, it was necessary to activate root via
adb root
but this command gave an error
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
I started looking on the Internet for ways to solve this problem, I tried to install
adbd Insecure - the program closes with an error when activated in
the settings of the desired item
adb_root (plugin in Magisk) - adb root still gave
adbd cannot run as root in production builds error
MagiskHide Props Config - changing the ro.debuggable and ro.secure
values blocked the connection of the phone to the PC (the phone was
no longer recognized as an external device and when entering the
"Developer options" section, the section was closed with an error)
Perhaps someone faced this problem on Android 12 and was able to solve it?
I read that many people have had this problem since Android 11.
Perhaps there is another solution to make the application system?
Thanks in advance
I have updated android studio to Android Studio v2.3.3 (June 2017) and adb stopped showing logs when I launch app on android studio emulator
The log shows:
07/11 13:08:17: Launching app
$ adb push C:\Users\1\AndroidStudioProjects\Don'tWakeMeApp4\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk /data/local/tmp/oleksandr.ivanets.dontwakemeapp

Click on below link
http://adbshell.com/downloads
and download the first link with name ADB Kits ( contains adb.exe and necessary .dll files).
After downloading replace these files with the ones in the path
Android/Sdk/platform-tools/
Now click on adb.exe and it will open cmd and will start the adb server.
Now it will detect the device and no problem. OOOOOllllaaaaa.....
If the Problem persists again then do the same... save the folder
somewhere.... just replace files... it will detect the device
automatically then
Preface: Although my answer focuses on Android Studio's perspective of ADB errors, I'm sure it is helpful for Windows ADB debugging in general!
#sHaRkBoY 's answer helped me look in the right direction. I used to get "Unable to detect adb version, adb output:" on Android Studio while trying to "run" the app onto the phone... and no devices showed up when phone was connected to PC.
I had tried all these (from different SO answers) but none of them worked!!!:
"Invalidate cache and restart" from File toolbar.
Turn off and turn on USB debugging on phone multiple times
Experimented with "MTP", "PTP", "Midi" and "Charging" modes to see if ADB detects something...
Checked my anti-virus software to see if adding exceptions to the adb directory works...
Installed various unnecessary C++ re-distributables
Tried a different USB cable (and USB port)
Restarted Android Studio and PC
and even uninstalled and re-installed Android studio!
The problem finally was that the platform_tools\adb.exe file downloaded by the official SDK tool manager was corrupted! So I used to get windows error code 0xc0000142 on launching adb.exe from command prompt! :(
SOLUTION:
For future readers (and victims xD) of the above ADB problem, please do the following:
Firstly, add the platform_tools\ directory into the system path environment variable.
Go ahead and replace the following 3 files in your platform_tools (C:\Users\{YourAccount}\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools) directory. (Please backup the same folder before, just in case.)
ADB kit (internal version number: 32)
Note: Please prefer this ADB kit (exe and dll files), compared to #sHaRkBoY 's ADB kit (2.0.0.0), since it has an updated version of AdbWinUsbApi.dll (2.0.0.1), where a race condition issue has been fixed!
I hope my answer saves your from the traumatic experience I went through while troubleshooting magical ADB for an entire day! :)
I've built a silly app to share among a few friends. No need to put it up on the app-store.
I built the first apk (signed), uploaded it to a web-server and all worked well.
A small issue arose, I fixed it, re-built, signed with the same keystore and uploaded it again. It now seems that I am unable to install from the new apk. The debugger tells me:
signatures do not match the previously installed version
So I uninstalled the old version by opening the app drawer and dragging it onto the "uninstall" button. When opening "Settings -> Apps", I don't see it anywhere anymore. I don't see any traces of the app on my device.
Yet I still get the above error message.
Is it possible some information still lingers on the device somewhere? Is there any way I can verify that?
Yes It is possible if somehow your old application is not removed 100% or its data is not removed.
Try:
adb uninstall "com.yourapp.yourapp"
If you don't know exactly what to put as replacement for "com.yourapp.yourapp", then you just open Android studio, Run your app while it is connected to a device and then look at Debug window.
It says:
Waiting for device.
Target device: samsung-sm_t531-xxxxxxxxx
Uploading file
local path: C:\Users\myapp\app\build\outputs\apk\myapp.apk
remote path: /data/local/tmp/com.myapp.myapp
Installing com.myapp.myapp
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.myapp.myapp"
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.myapp.myapp
Success
com.myapp.myapp in this case is the name of the package you must use to uninstall.
I had the same issue and the adb uninstall solution did not work for me.
What worked was
On your device go to to Settings->Apps
Select your app, and in the menu select "Uninstall for all users"
Even if I had previously uninstalled the app it was still in the list there.
To me, if the app is meant to be distributed, the adb solution is a no-go: you can't ask one's friend to have the android sdk installed on their machine !
The way to go here is to edit the AndroidManifest.xml and to increment the android:versionCodeattribute in the <manifest>tag (which is the root element).
This would update your installed application
If you are seeing this while conducting connected tests, make sure to include .test when uninstalling via adb because uninstalling via app -> settings does not get rid of the test package
adb uninstall your.broken.package.test
if you just uninstall via
adb uninstall your.broken.package
your test package will still be there. This was only something i noticed while using the gradle command line, haven't come across this problem within android studio
Uninstall the old app from your phone or emulator and try to run again.
I got that error while trying to install release while signing it's certificate.
fixed with the :app Gradle task uninstallRelease and then installRelease again
If you are going in install the same app with a different signature, you may want to uninstall but keep the app's data.
adb -d shell pm uninstall -k <packageName>
adb -d install -r -t -d app.apk
For Unity users who come to this question, the best answer is indeed the one above by #Ehsan
adb uninstall "com.yourapp.yourapp"
I had already installed a previous version on my Android device then selected Development Build in Unity > Build Settings which caused the APK to use a different signature. If you install through the Android GUI it doesn't actually remove everything so you have to use ADB.
I had face same problem With POCO Mobile and Moto G30 Mobile while developing application in flutter
My Solution is:
I have open android project which automatically create in your project, in android studio and run project in connected device. It will automatically ask to uninstall old app with same package name and different signature. After click ok button it will install app.
I try installing my app for the first time on a Nexus 5.
The android studio then tells me I need to uninstall my app inorder to install it (The app never exsited on the phone) and then asks me to unistall the app, I agree and he tries to unistall but an error occurs:
Waiting for device.
Target device: lge-nexus_5-08a9df88021f8ec8
Uploading file
local path: D:\USER\Desktop\Yoav\AndroidProject\Example\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk
remote path: /data/local/tmp/com.example.user.example
Installing com.example.user.example
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.example.user.example"
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.example.user.example
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
At this part the studio asks me to uninstall after pressing ok:
DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm uninstall com.example.user.example
Unknown failure
I think it's because the app does not exsit on the phone, but if the app does not exsit why does it even want me to delete it?
It might be because of the package name. Check weather is there any app with the same package name that you created before. com.example is not a good practice to use for you practice projects even.
I may be not right but from the information provided this is what I can say.
It happenes because the .apk you built and are trying to install is missing the classes.dex file. This can happen for various reasons but most of the time (for me) the build process gets stuck somehow.
Open Task Manager and kill all following processes:
cmd.exe
conhost.exe
find_java.exe
Then clean and build your project.
Also make sure you use latest Build tools (now 21.1.1).
I had the same problem. I finally had to reboot the device to solve it.
When I want to test an android application, I create a new AVD, start it in the emulator, wait for the emulator to finish booting, and then use ADB to install the application, and when I'm done delete the AVD. Are there any tools that automate all of those steps? I tried writing my own but I couldn't find a way to tell if the emulator was completely booted, as the Android SDK website says not to use "adb wait-for-device install file.apk".
You're right not to use wait-for-device. It does not wait for the package manager to be available, which is what you need. I'm not sure how eclipse does it but you can poll the emulator until the package manager is available using the command adb shell pm path android. The command should return 'package: something'. Check out this python script that uses the technique: www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/1.6/.../adb_interface.py. It's pretty big but if you search for the command above you'll find the relevant piece of the script.
Why do you want to delete the AVD every time?
If you are deleting it every time because the install command throws an error due to the app already existing on the AVD, you can do this: adb install -r file.apk. The -r part is used for reinstalling the app. Here is the full usage instructions for adb.
Are you deleting it to remove the application you are testing and revert to a 'clean' emulator? If so it's not necessary to delete the AVD every time. You can specify the -wipe-data option when starting the emulator. This effectively resets the AVD to how it was when you created it. Here is the emulator documentation.
Hopefully that helps simplify your script.
