How to open UDID file?
The main problem with Google Android Unique Device IDentifier is that the UDID file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file UDID to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UDID 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 Google Android

Programs to open UDID file
Remember to download programs supporting UDID files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Google Android with UDID files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UDID file to open in the Google Android application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Google Android application as the default for handling the UDID file.
Step 3. Update Google Android to the latest version
If, however, after binding Google Android with Google Android Unique Device IDentifier there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Google Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UDID file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UDID file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UDID or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UDID files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of UDID 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UDID files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Google Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UDID 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the UDID file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UDID to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
