Android uninstaller admin using adb
I have installed fast mobile security on my android device (Micromax Canvas A110) android version 4.1.4. I am trying to remove it but cannot do it. After further searching on Google, I figured out that we have to disable it from the device admin menu in settings. I tried to do this, only to find that the "undo" and "deactivate" options window does not disappear when the deactivate button is clicked.
I tried to uninstall the application using the command adb uninstall
, after detecting installed packages using: adb shell pm list packages
which gave the quick name of the healing package as com.quickheal.platform
.
But the command adb uninstall com.quickheal.platform
givesFailure
So how do I go about doing this using adb?

I am afraid that adb
it is not possible to disable the device administrator using . It was suggested to open device admin settings for faster access in this post :
adb shell am start -S "com.android.settings/.Settings\$DeviceAdminSettingsActivity"
... however, there is still some interaction.
On some devices, the device administrator activity does not update properly after confirmation in the dialog box. So try to exit the settings menu completely and check if this is just a UI issue. Edited

It is possible, although it requires a root device ( su
access) and is a bit messy. It includes searching for an application through its full name and manually deleting ( rm -f
) each entry it finds.
