Scan2Deploy, Scorpio X5 Pull Archive Failed

Android Devices
1

Hi,

I’m using Scan2Deploy for the first time and trying to deploy my profile succesfully. I created a new profile with just some basic functions: Setup WI-FI and apps. Eventually, when I get this running, I want to use the launcher and symbology settings.

So I created a new profile and use the device storage to store the profile. I created a new folder inside the internal storage named “config” which I use to store the created .tar file on the scanner.

Deploy from Internal Storage:
Path: “Config/”

As soon as I scan the QR code, I get:

Setup Profiel: Succesfull
Pull Archive: X
Archive not found at Config/test scanner.tar

I tried to compress the config file as ZIP and RAR but I still receive the Pull Archive fault. Changing the path also result in the same fault.

Model: Scorpio X5, SKU: GMS, OS version: 10
Windows version: 2.5.1
Android app: 2.6.2
Device info: Scorpio X5, android version 10, build 2.11.006.20211008

** My last actions: updating de Scan2Deploy for Android app to the latest version. Didn’t work either.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hello @Perry_Luijken

I can see you’re having trouble with the local deployment method. Let me explain two of the main ways to deploy a Scan2Deploy profile and help you fix the path configuration issue.

Deployment Methods in Scan2Deploy

Method 1: Automatic Hosting from PC (Recommended for most users)

When you’re in the “Save and Scan” page, you’ll see a section called “File Hosting Location.” The easiest method is to keep the option “Use Studio to automatically host profile from this PC” enabled (this is the default).

With this method:

  • Scan2Deploy Studio runs a web server on your PC
  • Your mobile device downloads the profile directly from your PC over the network
  • No manual file copying is required
  • Both devices must be on the same network

Method 2: Local Storage Deployment

If you uncheck “Use Studio to automatically host profile from this PC,” you can deploy from local storage. This requires you to manually copy the .tar file to your device.

Fixing Your Path Configuration Issue

Your error “Archive not found at Config/test scanner.tar” indicates a path configuration problem. Here’s how to fix it:

For Device Storage deployment, you need to specify the ABSOLUTE path:

  1. If you placed your .tar file in /sdcard/Config/, your path should be:
/sdcard/Config/yourfilename.tar
  1. Common absolute path examples:
  • /sdcard/Download/profile.tar
  • /sdcard/Config/test_scanner.tar
  • /storage/emulated/0/Download/profile.tar

Important Notes:

  • Use forward slashes / not backslashes
  • The path must start with / for absolute paths
  • Avoid spaces in filenames (use underscores instead)
  • Make sure the .tar file (not .zip or .rar) is in the exact location you specify

Step-by-Step Fix for Your Issue:

  1. In Scan2Deploy Studio, go to “Save and Scan” page
  2. Select “Device storage” instead of “Server”
  3. Enter the full path like: /sdcard/Config/yourfilename.tar
  4. Use the “Save & Export” button to save your profile as a .tar file
    This will also generates the QR code you will have to read.
  5. Copy the .tar file to your Skorpio X5 in /sdcard/Config/
  6. Scan the updated QR code

Recommendation

For your first deployment, I’d suggest using Method 1 (automatic hosting from PC) since it’s simpler and doesn’t require manual file management. Once you’re comfortable with Scan2Deploy, you can explore local storage deployment for scenarios where network connectivity isn’t available.

Let me know if you need any clarification on these steps!
