Windows 11 Error

[cymansplayground]

Just installed Windows 11 and was trying to use the same software (1:1) as I used on my Windows 10 PC (which worked). Now I get the following error:

ERROR Main: Cannot start on device 35b4f01c0005: Command adb ["-s", "35b4f01c0005", "install", "-r", "gnirehtet.apk"] returned with value 1

Is adb installed / copied in the same directory as gnirehtet?

[cymansplayground]

I think everything it needs is there (in the same folder), or is something else required?

[rom1v]

OK, then open a terminal in that directory, and execute:

adb -s 35b4f01c0005 install -r gnirehtet.apk

You will get the error message.

Thanks. Windows does not recognize adb as an executable:

[rom1v]

Because you are in powershell, you must use .\adb.exe instead of adb here.

OK, now I think I got the error message you meant:

PS M:\Software\Standalone\USB Internet for Android> .\adb -s 35b4f01c0005 install -r gnirehtet.apk adb: failed to install gnirehtet.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]

[rom1v]

You try to install an older version than the one installed on your device.

Uninstall the newer version first:

adb uninstall com.genymobile.gnirehtet

OK, the uninstall worked, but the install still failes:
