gnirehtet: gnirehtet can not run as service in Android

After running the relay server with javaw -jar relay.jar, I ran the command adb -s %serial% shell am startservice -a com.genymobile.gnirehtet.START --esa dsnServers 8.8.8.8 in command prompt. But that gave some error.

Starting service: Intent { act=com.genymobile.gnirehtet.START (has extras) } Error: Requires permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

My smartphone is Redmi 3S with MIUI8 and Android 6.0.1. What is that error? How do I solve that?

@XylverXVI Added the APK only https://github.com/Biswa96/gnirehtet-miui/releases. Download the server side binary from gnirehtet release page.

But enabling USB Debugging Security Settings requires to create MI account.

😕

This can be bypassed if a device has root. First, run the following commands: adb shell su setprop persist.security.adbinstall 1

If you also want to enable “USB debugging (Security settings)”, for granting permissions, simulating UI input, etc. via ADB, run the following command too: setprop persist.security.adbinput 1

Next, we need to edit the file, /data/data/com.miui.securitycenter/shared_prefs/remote_provider_preferences.xml

Add the following line to the XML file (with all the other ones, before the closing </map> tag, or change it to true if the line is already there): <boolean name="security_adb_install_enable" value="true" />

Reboot your device.

I want to reverse tethering with only adb.exe command line tool and not with relay.jar and not with .APK. Is that possible?
