How to open DEVICEINFO file?

The main problem with Device Record is that the DEVICEINFO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DEVICEINFO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DEVICEINFO file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install iPhone Configuration Utility

The first step is to check if the computer has the iPhone Configuration Utility program installed. To do this, enter the name iPhone Configuration Utility into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DEVICEINFO files.

Step 2. Create association of iPhone Configuration Utility with DEVICEINFO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DEVICEINFO file still does not use the iPhone Configuration Utility program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DEVICEINFO file with the iPhone Configuration Utility application.

Step 3. Update iPhone Configuration Utility to the latest version

If, however, after binding iPhone Configuration Utility with Device Record there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DEVICEINFO file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The DEVICEINFO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DEVICEINFO file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DEVICEINFO file. Sometimes virus-infected DEVICEINFO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DEVICEINFO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DEVICEINFO file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DEVICEINFO except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the DEVICEINFO file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DEVICEINFO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
