HarmonyOS USB edition install guide
Install HarmonyOS Next center + iEasyRun → USB-connect the phone with Developer Mode → bind a USB device license in the center → scan HarmonyOS USB in the workstation, then AI-control the phone.
Before you install — turn off protection (important): Disable antivirus, Windows Security (real-time protection, etc.), and temporarily turn off the firewall. Enable Developer Mode on the phone; when asked to trust USB debugging, choose Always trust.

Configure the LLM
After devices are online, configure models in iEasyRun so chat and workflows can understand requests and drive the phone.
Open Capabilities in the left sidebar and set up:
- Chat model: understands your instructions and plans steps (e.g. DeepSeek, Qwen)
- Vision model (VLM): reads screenshots and decides where to tap; it can use a different provider than the chat model
- Fill in the API Key, endpoint, and model name for each, save, then start chatting
After models are configured: ask questions or describe tasks in Chat; or open Help in the left sidebar to look up features, troubleshooting, and how-tos in a help conversation.
