For those having problem with installing Chevron, specifically, the "uh oh" error.
IF METHOD 1 doesnt Work, Try method 2!
TWO METHODS.
METHOD 1:
1. Click the Windows Icon.
2. On the search box, type device manager, click enter
3. Click continue when prompted
4. On the device manager window, find "Portable Devices"
5. Right click on your Leo. Uninstall
6. Unplug your device. if you can find another "Portable Devices" uninstall it also (as it was for my case)
7. Restart PC
8. Plug device again (Do not open Zune software yet)
9. Windows should try to install driver for the device. Click on it. After installing there should be two things in there... the other one is your Leo
ready to use. I can't remember the other one, but I think it is "storage card ready to use"
10. When done correctly. Zune will open up on its own.
11. See the device sync
12. Your free space should appear in the zune software
13. Run Chevron
14. It should open now without the "uh oh" error
Then follow the original instruction on how to install chevron
METHOD 2
1. Have Winphone developer tools installed. Download it for yourself
2. Connect Phone via USB
3. Wait till zune starts and sync completes
4. Verify that zune is not in a guest relationship
5. open a command prompt, type netstat -a to confirm that port 443 is not being used
6. open an admin command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ then type notepad hosts and delete any references to
windowsphone developer services
7. go to the settings on the phone and turn airplane mode on (so that the phone is forced to use internet via zune)
8. While the phone is still on the settings page, run Chevron with admin privileges
Attention: if port 443 is used (see on your list) stop IIS or exit Skype program
Hope this helps
both method doesn't work especially the host after deleting as stated save it when open it again still the windows still exist.
but nvr mind i don't have any problem using third party software like register edit etc.
Perefect. i had trouble but option 2 work like a charm! one suggestion, instead of opening an admin command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ then type notepad hosts and delete any references to, it is easier to Open up "Notepad" as administrator" Then click on File > Open (in the file name)
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and and delete any references to
windowsphone developer services, you save it and you are done.
for me both of this methods don t work i have 7.0.7394 os version!!!what to do please HEALP!!
I have a big problem on my HTC Droid Incredible.
Bypassing the activation screen really irritates me and i can't turn on the USB Debugging which is the key to root and s-off my phone and to bypass the activation screen.
The procedure i did for bypassing the activation screen are: tap 4 corners, safe mode, call *228 and end call after few seconds (did this several times), cdma workshop, ##778 change the nam setting, and non of them works for me.
cmlusco member of xda told me that the best way to bypass it is to change the build.prop in any rom i'm going to flash on my phone. Then he give me this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400 and i think this is it, but in the end still failed because i need to turn on my USB Debugging.
Please help me to bypass my Droid Incredible.
I'm here in Philippines and there is no Verizon network provider here.
I already solve this problem and I can use my Droid Incredible. Sweet!!!View the 3rd post how did i do that.

are you able to fix this?im having EXACTLY the same problem.
yup I already fix it, just follow this procedure.
1) try to enable usb debugging mode by doing this procedures.
for this,you should need wi-fi.
so,let's start
1)when the phone calls to *228 tap contacts icon,right to the "end call"
2)try to add a new contact and enter facebook or other socialnet dialog.
phone asks you to enable wifi, do this and connect your wifi network
3)next hold the search button and (via voice search) search in google "market"
4)tap to the official market page, phone asks you about opening this page,choose market app.login in the google accounts,if you need.
5)search in market "usb debug" app. install it and tap "open' in the market app
6)enable usb debugging and enjoy)
and for those who don't have a wifi connection in there home, this procedure is for you.
1. call *228 and tap the contact on the right side of end call.
2. add contact and put any information.
3. try to connect it in facebook to prompt the setting window.
4. tap setting.
5. tap search softkey and type application.
6. finally you can enable usb debugging without any problem.
thanks to ramazancik94 for giving this life saver step for enabling usb debugging mode.
2) root and s-off your phone by following this procedure root 2.3.4,downgrade,and s-off
3) if you already have CWM, rooted, and s-off your phone try to install some ROM using CWM in development section. Double check if your phone is s-off via hboot (press and hold power button and volume down), your phone is rooted if you install CWM, and find some ROM that suits your need.
4) Try to use the "end call bypass" if this method doesn't work with you this will be your last resort. Delete the phone.apk before you install the rom, to delete the phone.apk open the "blah blah blah rom.zip" and go to data> system app> find phone.apk and please don't extract the rom and delete the phone.apk or i won't work, just delete it from the zip.
Note: Deleting the phone.apk will result for disable your phone signal. So you're going to use your phone for music, game, watch some movies and wifi internet. You won't be able to use it for call, text and mobile data, and also please read it carefully so you won't **** your phone. You've been warned
For more information visit this thread: help bypass the activation

You cant just click on the adb.exe file, it is a cmd line program. Open a cmd prompt on your pc and type " cd C:\mini-adb_inc " then type in your adb command, example " adb devices " this should show the serial number of your phone if connected to the pc and adb and drivers are setup correctly.
thnx for the reply
but this " cd C:\mini-adb_inc " seems to be invalid when im trying to enter n the command prompt window
i already tried removing those that i downloaded and download them again but still the same thing...

also inside of mini-adb extracted on my c drive theres no adb.exe.it just say's adb
under that is AdbWinApi....so cunfused now

What makes you think the cd command didnt work, did it give an error? All cd does is change the directory to C:\mini-adb_inc where the adb file is located. It is ok if it says just adb and not adb.exe, your pc is just set to hide extensions. When you first open the cmd prompt to the left of where you type it will say something like C:\users\your_user_name\desktop >, when you type cd C:\mini-adb_inc it should go to the next line, and to the left of where you type now it should say C:\mini-adb_inc >Then type adb devices and see if a serial number comes up.
"C:\users\your_user_name\desktop" his is what i exactly saw on my laptop and when i tried enterring "c:\mini-adb_inc" a message appears say's like "incorrect path/directory"
im gonna try using another PC and hope this time it works..

You have to type " cd C:\mini-adb_inc " or what ever the path is to the adb file. here actually try this. Go to the folder where the adb file you unziped is. Then hold ctrl + shift and right click on an empty space in that folder, and select open cmd prompt here. then type in your adb command, ie adb devices.

Sorry to say, but if you cant enter hboot, or boot up to the os or recovery, then the phone is more thsn likley bricked. Unless its a battery issue. Does it vibrate at all when trying to start?

Does it boot when plugged in? There MAY be some help if it can boot when connected to AC power.

I've experience this, just a blinking orange led. What did I do was i charge it and a couple of minute the the blinking orange led stops and it become a steady orange led.
Easier way (offline)
Found what could be an easier way, I'm playing with my sister's incredible and I can get usb debugging enabled by using any of the official verizon update packages (could be a rom, but I downloaded the smallest hboot upgrade from htcdev), it appears to send some commands in usb mode that trigger the activation of usb debugging, what's funny if that if you either disconnect before it's done, or it fails, it leaves usb debugging on.
Non-sense.
EDIT: You just have to open the utility, you don't to flash or disconnect.
Such and old thread but I have a Incredible that a friend gives me and I couldn't access the market app by search function. What I did was search anything with voice commands, then a navigator window opens and change the URL to: market://details?id=usb, it opens the market app and I can install the USB debug app
Simple method, without the use of USB Debudding/rooting flashing:
Go to Emergency dialer,
Enter ##778, and press 'call'
Select 'Edit Mode'.
Password is: 000000
Select 'NAM Settings'
Make the following changes:
MDN = your 10 digit phone# (0000000000)*
MIN1 = your 7 digit phone# (0000000)
MIN2 = the area code of your phone# (000)
Press the 'back' key and go to 'HOME SID/Home NID' settings
Select 'Home SID/NID #1', and change the first value to '189' (Leave the 65535 alone).
Now press your 'menu' key
Press 'commit modifications' "button"
Phone Should reboot now.
Changing MDN using cdmaDevTerm
In some phones MDN cannot be changed, in this case you need to connect the phone to the computer as a "modem" device, and use the opensource cdmaworkshoptool / cdmaDevTerm from here:
http://code.google.com/p/cdmaworkshoptool/
Connect the tool, select manually / automatically the COMPORT for your HTC device, Read from device, Change the MDN to 0000000000 Select write
Disconnect and reboot your device.
It should now by pass the activation.

I'm also experiencing this problem. I think a recent messenger update may have broken it. I'll let you know if I find a fix.

The problem is caused by a recent update of Messages breaking something. I solved the problem by reverting to an older version using the following steps:
1. Disable automatic updates in the play store on both your watch and your phone.
2. Uninstall Messages from both your watch and your phone.
3. Go to apkmirror.com and get Android Messages version 2.1.167. Pick the apk that is appropriate for your phone and install it, then open it up and make it your default SMS app.
4. Get Android Messages (wear) version 2.1.167.
5. Install it on your watch by enabling adb and using the command adb install [file path to apk file]
6. Before you start messages on your watch, go to settings -> apps and give it all of the permissions that it wants.
7. Everything should work now.

I tried exactly as you post it but in the end the command didn't saw the APK on the file. As saying that "there's no apk on file"
I did it, I was doing the commands all wrong xD
Now thanks to you I can send messages over the watch. Thank you very much for the very detailed explanation and resources.
I updated the app to the latest version and the issue seems to be fixed.
Hey Guys,
I am running the Mate 20 x EVR-AL00 and I was able to get the hivoice uninstalled and the google assistant to stay the persistent assistant app.
Still struggling on getting "Okay Google" to work without the assistant app already loaded. Currently, holding the home button will launch the app.
Here are steps based on the methods of @RedCriwx for removing the default launcher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/how-to-install-nova-mate-20x-reverting-t3863446
1) Download and extract ADB (I use platform tools:*http://mirrors.zzu.edu.cn/android/re....1-windows.zip)
2) Go to Settings > System > About Phone and tap on "build number" about 8 times. You should see a message saing: "You are a developer now"
3) Back to the previous menu and you should see now a new item called "Developer options", go there, find and enable "USB debugging" (you may have to use a Huawei ID).
4) Now connect the phone to the PC via USB and select "Transfer files" on the phone.
5) Open a command line and go to the directory you extracted "Platform Tools" to.
6) Run the command "adb devices", your device should shown. If not, you need to check the drivers.
7) Run "adb shell"
8) Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.vassistant". It should show "success"
At this point you should be able to set your default assist app and it shouldnt change back to hivoice.
One thing I am still having a problem with is enabling "Access with voice match"
https://imgur.com/jhUwTjH
Is anybody else able to enable this option that is running on EVR-AL00 ?

Looks like a lot work to get the same functions as the Google search widget. I just turned Hivoice off and put a widget on the screen but if this worked with only voice like saying "Hey Google" I'd be all over this.

Excellent step by step instructions. Thank you.
To remove Hi Voice this command was critical:
8) Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.vassistant". It should show "success"
Can you point me to a reference with a list of commands (or syntax) to remove other features/programs that I'd like to uninstall?
Many thanks!

Thank you very much, I wanted to play around more tonight but didnt get a chance.
So what you can do to get a list of commands is once your in the adb shell just run the command "pm -h"
It will display the output of all the commands that can be used.
1) enable "USB debugging"
2) Now connect the phone to the PC via USB and select "Transfer files" on the phone.
3) Open a command line and go to the directory you extracted "Platform Tools" to.
4) Run the command "adb devices", your device should shown. If not, you need to check the drivers.
5) Run "adb shell"
6 Run "pm -h"
Let me know if you find anything in regards to allowing the persistent "Okay Google" Command

Use it ta your own risk. You can cause too much damage though. Factory reset heals everything.
Ok Google will not he able to work on that AL00. As it's not installed as a system app.
The reason it works on the L29 is the Google app is installed to the system. Otherwise functionality will not be present.

Same issue for me. Every time youtube vanced gets cleared from memory or I restart the phone, the app is not logged in. I have click on sign-in and then just back out of the login process...then it's fine. The regular youtube app does not have this issues.
SmartPhonesFan said:
guys but I don't know you supposed to NOT have two youtubes .. When I installed vanced it just replaced normal youtube and icon changed ..
Your problem is dat youtube.com or google detecting two youtube apps .. So unsign from normal YT and disable it .. And login to vanced only ...

I don't have 2 YouTube apps installed. After working some of the quirks out, I did a factory reset and set it up again. Now I only have vanced installed and I still have the issue on the L00 version. If there's a fix, please share. It's not a huge deal but just gets annoying I guess.

I think there was a thread in this forum about the backup sync issue. My contacts and photos work fine but nothing else. I use a SMS Backup and Restore for texts and call history.

And the "Back up now" greyed out , can't click on it.
I don't know what's going on, well but at least I can use Huawei backup everythings to pc.

It was the same on my OnePlus 6. I think the backup feature is just broken.

hey, thank you again.. it has to do with the microG App, which has to run in the background to stay connected with google. Thanks for your help
OK guys your watch will still work with many Wear OS apps but apps won't sync up with your phone any more. The problem is that the version of Google Play Services on your watch is way out of date.
The solution is you need to sideload a newer version of google play services and then like magic all your apps that can still work with Wear OS 1.5 will work again.
You need to download and install adb fastboot on your PC, and the USB drivers for your particular model of phone. Then go to apkmirror and download the latest version of "Google Play Services (Wear OS)" as an APK.
Now put your Smartwatch into developer mode by going to settings --> about --> build number (click it 7 times, congrats you are now a developer)
Now go to Settings --> Developer Options --> ADB Debugging (enable) and Bluetooth debugging (enable)
Back on your phone, Wear OS App --> Advanced Settings --> Debugging over bluetooth (enable)
Enable Developer options on your phone as well through settings --> About --> Software info --> Build number seven times. Enable USB debugging.
Plug phone into PC with usb and open a command prompt in the directory where you've installed the adb files
Code:
ADB devices
should show your phone unauthorized. Authorize it on the phone popup prompt. Now the command should show your phone as "device"
Code:
adb forward tcp:6666 localabstract:/adb-hub
adb connect localhost:6666
On your watch, authorize the connection
On your phone, Wear OS app, Advanced settings, you should see Host: connected and Target:connected
If you get into trouble, run
Code:
adb kill-server
and try again.
Now you can install the apk
Code:
adb -e install -r (path to apk)
it will take a long while and may appear to hang. Give it time, at least 15 minutes. Go do something else. Wait for the command prompt to come back.
Now reboot your watch and revel in the magic as your apps suddenly reappear.
You also try sideloading other apps your mileage may vary. On APK mirror you can sometimes find older verions of Wear OS apps, look for ones that require Android 6.0+ Instead of 7.1.+
FYI I've tried sideloading several apps, and while many don't work properly, I was able to get Maps working by sideloading
com.google.android.apps.maps_10.35.2-1035250000_minAPI23(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
Hi,
Thanks for this =)
Is there a reason to push the app through the phone instead of directly to watch?
EDIT: just do the same but directly connect the watch through USB worked well for me, including installing more apps like GMaps and Messages.
EDIT2: Just did this, so people could find this workaround faster =) https://support.google.com/wearos/thread/55427445

Unfortunately, I don't use an account by Google. Would you mind quoting your solution here?
Hey first of all, thank you to bring me a light to follow,
I can confirm that if you use usb is more quickly, just I have:
1: installed "15 seconnds adb installer v1.4.3" found on this forum
2: Plug my smartwatch 3 on my pc (windows 10)
3: downloaded the most recent google play services (wear os) from apk mirror
4: rename the downloaded apk with a shorter name
5: placed the apk on C: and then open a power shell window in that location (****f+right click)
6: put this command adb install -r -g aplicationname.apk
7: wait 5 minutes
8: enjoy

Hi people,
I own a sony smartwatch 3, got some problems about sync multiple times. I always found simples workarounds but some days ago, Google dropped support for wear 1.5 devices.
I consider this as an official announcement:
https://support.google.com/wearos/thread/5538033?hl=en
Therefore, we have a "workaround" for those that need more time to buy another smartwatch or else.
Inspired from this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/smartwatch-3/fix-app-sync-smartwatch-3-dead-t4121409
# Download the latest GService for Wear OS
Using apkmirror website you can find the latest apk for "Google Play Services (Wear OS)",
This link will give you the page of GService v20.21.17 which is the latest available on 2020-06-25.
You must ensure 2 things:
- Is it the latest version
- Is it compatible with Android 6.0+ (as it's the wear android version, 7.0+ and above will not work)
You can also download other apks to install, see the "More" section at the bottom of this post.
Soon or later, Google will definitely drop android 6.0. When this will happen, the latest version will not be available anymore for android 6.0+, therefore it will be the end.
# Download/Install adb debugging tools on your computer
There are multiple ways to install the adb debugging tool, I recommend following the steps you'll find on XDA website: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
# Enable ADB Debugging options on your watch
Enable developer mode by going to
Settings --> about --> build number (click it 7 times, congrats you are now a developer)
Now go to Settings --> Developer Options --> ADB Debugging (enable)
Then open and keep the command line window (aka "terminal")
# Connect your watch to your computer
Then using the terminal, type "adb devices", after a moment, you should get a prompt asking for debugging permission on your watch: accept.
In the terminal, you should now see something like "14452D11F536B52 device" when typing "adb devices" again.
If you see "unauthorized" or else, you're not ready for the next step, go back and try again.
If you struggle at this step, you may need specific drivers or else for your watch, google will be your best friend at this point.
# Send the app to your watch
In the terminal, type "adb install -r path_to_the_apk_file", replace path_to_the_apk_file by the path to the file you download from apkmirror earlier.
Then wait, the installation can take several minutes. Once it's done, restart your watch and you should see the apps beginning to synchronize themself =)
----
If you're new to the command-line tool (aka "terminal"), I'll assume you're a window user.
So you may need to type something like "adb install -r C:/Users/Robert/Downloads/file_downloaded.apk", again, you'll have to replace Robert by your windows username and file_downloaded.apk by the name of the file you downloaded earlier.
The best way to get this line right: open the file explorer, click "This computer" in the sidebar, then click on your main hard drive, then the folder "Users". Here you should see a folder with your username, click on it, then go through folders & files until you see the downloaded file. Once it's done, you should be able to get the full pathname by click in the explorer address bar (didn't understand ? See https://winaero.com/blog/show-full-path-address-bar-windows-10-file-explorer/ ) then at this point you should know how to execute the last command by reading again the last step "Send the app to your watch"
----
# More
You can follow this step and install any apk you want, but I don't recommend installing apk not made for Wear OS even if it works
More apps installable this way on your watch if you don't want to wait for app sync:
- Google Messages (SMS), latest is v6.1.095 on 2020-06-25
- Google Maps, latest is v10.35.2 (android 6.0+) on 2020-06-25
The GMaps is a good example about obsolete versions: on 2020-06-25, the real latest available is v10.43.2, but it's android 7.0+ only, so don't expect GMaps to work indefinitely for your watch, it will stop working soon or later.
# Say thanks
Please, if you can click upvote or post an answer: it will help people with the same problem find this
Thanks for posting a simplified process.
I only used Bluetooth because I have other Wear OS watches that don't work over cable connect, so it's the way I am familiar with. I like to use different watches depending upon activity and mood. The Smartwatch 3 is a great watch for outdoor activities because it is sleek, waterproof, and very sunlight visible.

You saved my watch!
Hi. In the link to install the adb debugging tool, I can only get as far step 6 connecting my phone. When i type 'adb devices' in the command prompt it says -
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
Nothing appear on my phone as per the step 7 "On your phone’s screen, you should see a prompt to allow or deny USB Debugging access"
Can anyone help?
@MrFleas
1) go again on EVERY.SINGLE.STEP this may feel dumb to do but it could help
2) if it does not work, try googling for swr50 USB drivers, you may need to download Android SDK and drivers - then reboot - then start again at step one
3) come back here to thanks or asking for more help

Hi people, just realized we can also download the sony app to our phones (directly from phone or by using adb like on watch) so we can edit stock watch faces again =)
Here's the app to download to the phone: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-...ditor-2-0-0-20-android-apk-download/download/
Once installed, to edit watch faces, go to wear app, the edit watch faces =)
Seems like the same issue...
My hardly used smart watch is ALIVE again!
Thanks a lot guys!
I have latest but sync not working :/ i have a question is possibile install app with higher api or change apk API level ?
check the play service on your phone and install exactly the same version of the wear app
then it works
Cheers for doing this! Got my old smartwatch working cause of that. If anyone else reading this has issues at the' ADB device' point, and is using a linux based system, remember to use sudo on the commands -as otherwise i found that it would not enable the prompt to let me 'authorise' the device in order to send the apk to the watch.
Question- given that google have disabled the onboard step counter function on wear 1.5 devices (like this one), can we sideload a fitness apk via adb with this method that will then sync to our phones?

Hi, I've got the same issue. I had to change my phone. I've installed the same version of google play services on the watch with the description in this threat. But the phone is still not syncing the apps to the watch. Is there anything more I can do to trigger the sync (already triggered 'resync all app in Wear OS' without effect).
You might try to go Settings-Permissions on the watch and set the Permissions for your app. Sometimes I have got this to make the app work, when it is already installed on the watch but not working.
It works! I first downloaded this version of Wear OS for my phone:
Wear 2.43, the newest one somehow broke the sync for me.
By using ADB with " ADB install -r "I installed the last working Google Play Services for my Watch and also the last available version of Google Fit for Android 6.
Play Services : Play Services Wear OS - 20.45.16
Google fit : Google Fit - 2.10.36
