Enable “Unknown Sources” via adb

Written by iassael on . Posted in android, computing

Getting a Nook SimpleTouch I had to enable the android option Unknown Sources via adb shell… so first connect with usb and make sure adb debugging is on…

  1. adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

  2. sqlite3 /path_to_your_folder/settings.db

  3. update secure set value=”1″ where name=”install_non_market_apps”;

  4. .quit

  5. adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/

    Hi !
    I get an error ” Error: no such column: ”install_non_market_apps” ” while trying to do the above. I actually got my settings app uninstalled on my rooted phone. Is there a way out?

    -Thanks

    Well, this doesn’t sound good… I would try to download a settings app from aptoide.com and hope it works…
