In this guide, we will show you a nifty workaround through which you can skip the setup wizard on your Android device. Being a tech freak that I am [not to mention it’s part of my daily job as well!], I tend to flash custom ROMs across numerous devices just to test out what each of these ROMs has to offer.
While most of these ROMs offer a relatively bug-free ecosystem, there are a few [especially unofficial builds or ports from other devices] that tend to be plagued with issues. One such ROM that I recently tested out had quite an infuriating and concerning issue- its setup wizard was not working along the expected lines.
As a result of this, I was stuck right at the first step and wasn’t able to check out the ROM’s features and its UI/UX. So, what can be done in such instances? Well, there exists a nifty method using which you can skip the setup wizard altogether on your Android device. And in this guide, we will show you how this could be carried out. So without further ado, let’s get started.
How to Skip the Setup Wizard on Android
- Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- Once that’s done, connect your device to the PC via a USB cable.
- Now, open the Command Prompt window inside platform-tools.
- Next up, unplug the device from the PC and reconnect it back in
- Finally, type the below two commands in the Command window
adb shell settings put secure user_setup_complete 1 adb shell settings put global device_provisioned 1
- If the above two commands didn’t get the job done, then type in this command as well:
adb shell settings put global setup_wizard_has_run 1
That’s it. These were the steps to skip the setup wizard on your Android device. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution as soon as possible.
