Hi Everyone !

So I'm struggling from days to fix an issue that I cause on my Android TV - Xiaomi Mi Box 4. I broke the original remote some days ago and I used the remote controler app on my phone. I activated the USB debugging some weeks ago to play around it over WiFi on my laptop - MX Linux

I just changed my WiFi password...

So, I can't do any direct input to the box - no more remote app connection, no access with a mouse+keyborad physically connect to the usb - it's reserved by USB debbuging, and my laptop isn't authorized by adb.

I tried to use scrcpy as a distant keyboard with adb debugging USB.

See tries after :

#I tried to use OTG as it doesn't required USB debugging - that restart my Android box

I know there is no way to overpass this authorization request (thanks god), tis there a way to revoke from adb the USB debugging option that I can use otg option or a physical keyboard ?

Thanks for the support and the great work !

It seems your box does not support AOA (so OTG does not work). I guess this is the same if you connect a USB keyboard via an OTG cable?

Hi rom1v,

you're right, when I connect a physical keyboard or mouse, it "work" (turn on light) as the box is starting, once the screensplash is gone, USB do not work anymore.

Tested with cabled mouse, Logitech dongle and iPhone (turn on charge for 2sec)
