[TCL C825] Sideloading APK without a Google account? - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

I'm looking for a way to sideload an APK, without ever using Play Store.
Is it possible?
I enabled developer options and USB debugging and placed an APK on a USB stick. However after plugging it into my TV, while it gets detected and its folders shown, the APK isn't listed in its contents.
Also there's no remote debugging option.

Never mind, apparently "USB debugging" enables ADB over network as well.
So I was able to adb install apk

Nexus 7 & Mac

Just installed Cyanogen 10.2
Enabled USB debug
Set Root access to apps and ADB
When i connect to mac, "Android Debugging enabled" comes up,
When i launch Android File Transfer comes up, it says "No Android devices found"
I think it has to do with granting permission for ADB, but i can't get that to come up again on CM.
How do i get it to come up again to authorize ADB connection?

Can't see Firephone in windows

I set USB connection as File transfer, previously I was able to see it in my windows computer under portable devices, but after I disabled some system apps of Firephone, also disabled most permission of running apps and disabled auto startup options of the apps, I can't see Firephone in windows now, though adb debugging still works.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I checked it on another computer, it works, so it's my computer's issue.

Check Device Manager for any USB or even Android or Fire Phone items that have an exclamation point on them. If you see them then remove them, and the driver installed with them. If you phone is connected, you will have to disconnect it and plug it back in.

ADB Debugging No Longer Connecting to PC

I'm stumped with this one. My HTC 10 no longer will connect to my computer at home or at work when I have USB debugging enabled. I don't get any entry in device manager. I'm running the 2.28.617.8 firmware w/ Viper 4.3.1. I utilize the universal adb driver. When debugging is enabled, the phone message says I'm connected to a slow charger. I have verified the ports on both computers are functional by attaching other devices. I have the connection settings for MTP enabled. I also tried revoking the debugging authorizations in the hope it would reset everything. The only way I can find around it, is to turn off usb debugging. Then, when I connect the phone it will mount properly and I can transfer files. This is ok for the short term, but is not ideal. Does anyone know what I might be missing?
I had this same issue after restoring a TWRP backup on a replacement 2.28.617.8 phone. RUU and restore all my settings mostly by hand fixed it.
Do you have HTC Sync installed? Try installing that, connect the phone and on the phone grant HTC Sync permission.

HiSuite Mounting

Is there a way to stop the HiSuite image from mounting when connecting via USB? Mate SE, Android 8.0 (ota), rooted, macOS.
If you change the developer settings to usb debugging, usb allow adb debugging in charge only, and usb connection to charge only, that will avoid the hi Suite stuff.
If you change the settings and then connect, keep the settings app open, for some reason you have to go back and reset them again after connecting. At least that's what I have to do, they don't seem to stick.

Thanks!
Just to follow up, I discovered a more permanent solution, if you're rooted:
Rename (or delete) the file autorun.iso located at /data/hw_init/version/region_comm/oversea/cdrom
Can't mount it if it's not there

scrcpy issues

Hello xda'ers
I have the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, however I want to use the scrcpy github . com / Genymobile / scrcpy utility it says it cannot detect the phone.
ADB Setup and its drivers have been correctly installed.
USB debugging has been enabled in the phone.
But the ADB cannot detect the phone.
It still is not working, so I went into the phone, developer options and go to USB Debugging, Security settings, and toggle that on, but it asks for a Mi Account?, which I do not have.
Please help.
Might as well sign up for that Mi account, because you need the (security settings) toggle turned on if you want to control the device via scrcpy. What does it tell you when you enter the command adb devices ? Did you get the popup asking for confirmation on whether you want to allow the PC to access debugging when you connected the phone via USB? Also make sure MTP/PTP/whatever else isn't turned on.
It's odd, executing adb devices gave an unauthorized message on the computer console, but the security confirmation never appeared on the phone up until some hours ago. I authorized the connection and voila I can now see the phone's screen on desktop PC via scrcpy, however.....
The screen just freezes, I mean, I cannot interact with it on the computer. If I unblock the phone manually and interact with it, the screen refreshes properly on the desktop, alas this is an issue with scrcpy not with the phone or ADB. Maybe I should file a bug or search their site?
Again, you have to enable the (security settings) toggle in your developer options if you want to control your device from the computer. This is mentioned on the Readme on scrcpy GitHub already.
Found solution:
1. Enable USB debugging
2. Run any terminal as root
3. setprop persist.security.adbinput 1
. That's all, nothing else is required
