NOTE:

If you are using the following brand devices, you need to do some additional settings while enable USB debugging for your devices:

• Xiaomi Device (MIUI): Please enable both "USB debugging" and "USB debugging (Security settings)". Otherwise, you will not be able to control the device but only view the device's screen.

• Vivo Device (Funtouch OS): Please enable both "USB debugging" and "USB simulated input". Otherwise, you will not be able to control the device but only view the device's screen.

• HUAWEI Device (EMUI): Please enable both "USB debugging" and "Allow ADB debugging in charge only mode". Otherwise, you will fail to run the Non-Root setup.

1. Select USB mode

When you connect your Android device to a computer via a USB cable, a pop-up window "use USB to" will appear on your Android device. Please select "Charge only" if your device is running Android 8.0 and above. Otherwise, the Non-Root authority will not become invalid after disconnecting the USB cable. (Why should I grant Non-Root authority repeatedly?)

2. Allow USB debugging from the computer

For the first time you connected your Android device to a computer via a USB cable, another pop-up window "Allow USB debugging" will appear on your Android device. Please check "Always allow debugging from this computer", and then tap OK.

If the "Allow USB debugging" window didn't appear or pop up, you may allow USB debugging authorizations for the computer already, or you can follow the below instruction to authorize USB debugging from the computer again:

1. Go Developer options, tap "Revoke USB debugging authorization" - OK, then reconnect your Android device via USB cable.
2. change another USB cable or change another USB port of the computer
3. Restart your Android phone and restart your computer

Open the AirDroid Personal Desktop Client, tap the Remote Control module icon, tap Non-Root, tap "Connect" to run the Non-Root setup for your Android device.
