USB mode bypasses Wi-Fi restrictions by using an ADB reverse tunnel between the Android phone and the FluxPad desktop app. It is available while Pro Features are active.

Before you start

  • Use a USB cable that supports data, not a charge-only cable.
  • Unlock Pro Features in the Android app with the optional rewarded ad.
  • Keep the FluxPad desktop app open throughout the connection.

Enable USB debugging

  1. Open Developer options

    On most Android phones, open About phone and tap the build number seven times. The exact menu name may vary by manufacturer.

  2. Turn on USB debugging

    Open Developer options and enable USB debugging.

  3. Approve the PC

    Connect the cable and accept the USB debugging authorization prompt on the phone.

Create the USB connection

  1. Connect the data cable

    Connect the unlocked Android phone directly to the Windows PC.

  2. Refresh the USB port

    In the FluxPad desktop app, open USB mode and select Refresh USB Port.

  3. Connect from the phone

    Use the USB connection shown by FluxPad and wait for the mobile app to confirm the link.

If the USB tunnel is not found

  • Reconnect the cable and confirm that USB debugging is still enabled.
  • Accept any pending authorization prompt on the Android phone.
  • Select Refresh USB Port again in the desktop app.
  • Wait a few seconds and retry if ADB is still starting.
  • Try another USB port or a known data-capable cable.
