I manually updated my box to the latest update. Biggest mistake.

Before the update I was able to enable developer tools and enable USB debugging so that I can use adb to sideload apps into the plus box. Steps taken from here: https://androidrepublica.com/2020/03/cara-i...unifi-plus-box/

I had everything I needed for my setup:
- Cloudflare WARP
- Disney+ (not hotstar)
- Peacock
- Paramount+
- Netflix mobile version (because the plus box can't open the default Netflix app)
- HBO Max

After the update, I noticed it wouldn't connect to WiFi. I traced the problem to an incorrect date/time setting on the box. Today is 1st Sept but for some reason after the update the date went all the way back to Jan 25th. I couldn't change the date too because it's greyed out.

I resorted to factory resetting the device, which was a big mistake. Aside from removing all my sideloaded apps, the reset did fix the date and time problem, but still couldn't connect to WiFi. So I just switch to LAN. That's when I discovered that any attempts to enable USB debugging on the Unifi Plus Box would be greeted by a password prompt which I do not have. Before the update, USB debugging can be enabled without any prompts for password.

I think the firmware update is to prevent users from sideloading apps into the box. Luckily I have an unopened box of Chromecast with Google TV sitting around. The Unifi Plus Box is going back into its box and will be replaced by the Chromecast.

good for you bro. Remember don't factory reset it that's all

parking... i also want to know the password

yeah, in my case the date/time was f**ked and i can't friggin' change it because it was greyed out! No choice but to reset it, felt like it was a trap lol

make sure you don't factory reset it hahaha

if only your post came in earlier... then maybe i won't reset hahaha
but thanks still.. i'll keep that in mind.

oh yeah.... if can enable this then no need USB debugging to send apk using adb
