Part 3. Gain Non-Root Permission for your devices

Step1：Turn on USB debugging

Android 4.1: Settings > Developer Options > enable USB Debugging.

Android 4.2+：Settings > About phone > TAP Build number for 7 TIMES to enable Developer Options > enable USB Debugging.

Note:

1. If your phone is Xiaomi, you should also enable USB debugging (Security setting) before turning on USB debugging.

2. If your phone is Vivo, you should also enable USB simulated input before turning on USB debugging.

3. If your phone is Huawei and Android 8.0+, you should also enable both "USB Debugging" and "Allow ADB debugging in charge only mode."

Step2：Connect your device with the USB cable.

1. Connect your device and PC with a USB cable, check the option "Always allow debugging from this computer," which should pop-up on your device.

If the pop-up window is not displayed, follow the instructions to reconnect the USB cable or try with another cable, and make sure the driver of your device was correctly installed.

TIPS: If the windows above never appear, reset USB debugging by clicking “Revoke USB debugging authorizations.”

NOTE:

1. If you are running Android 8.0+, disconnecting the USB cable may disable specific settings. Please kindly check "Charging only" before operating the Non-Root setup.

NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE the USB configuration. Otherwise, the Non-root procedure will fail after unplugging your device.

For Huawei devices & Android 8.0+, click "CANCEL" on "Use USB for" when you connect your device to your PC.

Step3：Non-root setup

1. Desktop client (Win/Mac):

Open AirDroid Business Desktop Client on your PC (Win/Mac), click Non-Root to connect your device.

Click "Connect," and the Non-Root procedure is complete.

Tips: If you can’t see the notification above, go back to Step2 and try again.

Note: You need to reset “USB debugging“ to gain Non-Root permission if you reboot the device(s).

Part 4. Access your Non-Rooted devices remotely

Go to AirDroid Business Desktop Client -> select your Non-Rooted online device -> click on Remote Control.

Tips: If your Non-Rooted device is showing Offline after granting Biz Daemon permission, please make sure Biz Daemon is running in the background and the internet connection is available.
