the only thing i can think of is to factory reset the unit, and then try reinstall the app. I asume no other mod’s have been done ot the unit. It seems whatever the issue is, is a system wide issue, and the debug log’s arn’t highlighting what that might be at this point in time. ---

I performed the factory reset and am still seeing the same problem. Following the reset I enabled Wifi and ran the update check. It said I am at the latest level (BRU01211104). I then enabled Developer Mode. And Enabled USB debugging. But the attempt to install the sample app is the same. **\>adb devices** List of devices attached d7934778 device **\>adb install app-release.apk** Performing Streamed Install adb: failed to install app-release.apk: **\>adb install --no-streaming app-release.apk** Performing Push Install app-release.apk: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 83.8 MB/s (80251 bytes in 0.001s) adb: error: failed to read copy response ---

When you say original I assume you mean the original APK that I created and first ran into this issue. If so I can send it to you directly by don’t know how to do it exactly since it is 25M ---

problem ended up being the usb cable in this scenario. [Previous page](https://discuss.cubepilot.org/t/unable-to-install-custom-app-herelink-read-only/8890.md?page=1)
