I was able to successfully learn how to adb again to my cell phone and I got the popup on my cell phone to accept the connection... but when I try to connect to the Chevy infotainment 3 system, I don't get the popup to accept connection. I have looked in developer mode for any choices that might deal with this, but no success. To confirm, I can connect to my cell phone before and after trying to unsuccessfully connect to the head unit. I think this is due to not being able to accept the connection on the head unit. Perhaps there is some secrete way to accept, or get around this? When I connect the usb cable to one of the head unit connections, it does stop playing music from the usb connection in another location, so I know I am using a communicating usb and not just a charging usb. Also, where could I post this question to have my own thread?

Can you send things to the device via Bluetooth? If so, you might be able to send a copy of an apk via Bluetooth and install the apk on your device.

Is there a file manager app or a way to view the contents of the internal storage? Can you put a copy of an apk on a USB flashdrive then insert the USB into the device and install the apk from the USB onto the device? Can you view the contents of the USB flashdrive?

Is there any file manager with feature to view folders with their specified icons? Like desktop.ini on Windows, but not necessarily as a file, this can be stored in app's settings
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
It also depends on your phone. Most new phones are RO system partitions. In that case you will need to use a Magisk module or script, as you cannot modify the RO partition, even with root. And in that case, you can not totally remove the folder, but only remove its conternts.
[General Questions and Answers] shamsaboubkr:
mine is definitely RO

where can I get a magisk module that does that or make one myself

(I'm trying to remove the soundfx dir in vendor)
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
Searching and reading.

One option to using a GUI to create the module, is an app I built and distribute here on XDA called TeMeFI. You will find it in the menu at Magisk>TeMeFI Hide System Apps>Add or Remove>Add One>*APP ID* When presented with the long list, you can scroll down to find it OR long press the "X" button to filter by app code (not the app name). And then reboot to enable the hide.

Chevy seems to have it locked down. There is no accessible file manager on the head unit that I know of. Also, if I connect the head unit to a windows 7 pc, it does not seem to recognize anything is connected. This may be why the adb failed to connect. I will try a chromebook running linux here as soon as I figure out how to do it. The usb will connect to my android phone, and through android auto, turn on the bluetooth, but once again, no file explore on head unit that I can find.

ok, hopefully this is a new one for you. I have a " CalAmp Fusion lte modem, RE BRANDED as a " Harris MBC-200 " yes, it IS a " router " ... and therefore i should be over at the openwrt forums... ( i am, but wait... there's more. )

it boots " busybox " on a MPC8314E PowerQUICC II Pro Processor... ( see images ) -- some logs / more intel available on request --

My question(s) : how do i go about re flashing this? ( without bricking )

-- for that matter... is it even re flashable?

-- the firmware files from CalAmp are " .pak " files How do i edit / view / dissect them?

-- the nand is a SPANSION GL512N11FFI02

-- it has one visible ddr2 chip that i think is either 512MB or more likely 128Mb..

any help / insight is greatly appreciated, i was going to make a thread, but i either don't have the ability, or cant find the button... BOTH calamp AND harris ( go figure ) have been of no help. ( in their defense " yet..." )

my end goal is to run dual concurrent 4g modems with Openmptcprouter.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try Service Disabler app in the PlayStore, it can control which apps and specific services are running, I think it has a feature to to keep settings through reboots. It can even control specific services within individual apps so that the app runs but specific parts of its services and features do not function. There are specific services within Google Play Services(gms core) that can be disabled to improve performance and battery life while also allowing Google Play Services to function without causing issues with your other apps but I can't remember the specifics about which of its services to disable and which ones to leave alone. See if you can find information about it with a Google search.

Thanks for your reply. Based on my research here I sought out and found an international S10 SM-G973F, due to the Bootloader issues. I have since unlocked the Bootloader but am having trouble continuing on with rooting. I need to root the phone for several reasons, including making a TWRP/ Nandroid backup.

Currently , with the Bootloader unlocked, I cannot seem to be able to get the phone to boot into Recovery mode so I cannot see if the root option exists.

hi all

i have purchased a iiiF150 B2021. the original model was made by oukitel but mine was from aliexpress and is branded as iiiF150, oukitel is not printed on the phone anywhere. the phone it's self has a MediaTek Helio G25 MT6762V chipset and it was good value but, the software is

terrible.

i have posted a question in the lineage forum asking if anyone was able to install lineage on this phone, but have had no replies(so i guess the answer is no). i am so unhappy with the android 11 software on this phone that i will try anything.

is there anything else that i can install on this device ?

any advice is much welcome

hello, is there anyone that can help me fix android 11 storage issue? the system file manager can't access android/data, it says "folder is empty", and when i try an external app and even give access to the android/data app, they appear...however, they are read-only, for some reason i can't create any new file or folder in the android/data folder, and in ZArchiver...the path is different!

it should be like the following: storage/emulated/android/data/(insert some app's data folder)

but no, instead, when i enter a folder in android/data, the path completely switches! it turns into the following :

/SAF/AndroidS/Primary/Data/(insert app data folder here)

maybe that's the reason why i can't put/write files/folders in android/data?

also, i tried alot of external file managers but they still don't fix the read-only issue, and yes i am on android 11.

please anyone help me.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try the Aida64 app from the PlayStore, it should tell you all the hardware and software specs of your device, provided that your software isn't hacked together with false info, Aida64 gets most of its info from specific software resources on the device, if those files have fake/false info in them, Aida64 will give you misleading info. A lot of times, clone/fake devices will have misleading software that "claims" it has this or that spec when it actually doesn't. Often, it requires opening the device to visually inspect the actual hardware/motherboard to verify what it actually has instead of trusting what the software "claims" it has. They are also known for having a "skin" over the software that says you have "this" or "that" system software/android version when it actually has a lesser version under the "skin", such as a cloned iPhone claiming it has iOS when it actually has a crappy, hacked together version of android, such as 4.1.2 or 4.4, etc..

Are you looking for the normal place that people put files?

It's usually /sdcard, which is a symlink. Some utilities have problems with that.

Using adb shell you can chase down where it actually lives.

$ stat /sdcard
File: `/sdcard' -> `/storage/self/primary'
Size: 21 Blocks: 0 IO Blocks: 512 symbolic link
...
$ stat /storage/self/primary
File: `/storage/self/primary' -> `/mnt/user/0/primary'

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Personally, since it came from AliExpress, I would think it is fake/clone, especially if it was unreasonably cheap, that being the case, I wouldn't trust anything that software tells me about the device. I would open the device to see what it actually, software can easily be made to lie to fool the customer, but, a visual inspection of the hardware will give a 100% accurate answer.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I´m trying to have more optimism than @Droidriven...

You can check your model device based on the IMEI number, here https://www.imei.info/

Also, if you have some experience in Android versions, you should realized that some of them are very hard to even, mimic, like the newer Android versions, effects transition, lower API required for some apps to work, if device runs smoothly, some features not available in developer options, and a huge etc,

Install an app like treble checker, from Play Store, if the device supports treble, and if you can unlock the bootloader of your device, then, probably you can install some GSI.
[General Questions and Answers] ga77a:
good morning droidriven and subwaychamp

i will install treble checker. the device does run smoothly, and i think in the developer mode there is an option to unlock the boot loader although i havent actually tried using it yet.

surely i dont need to "open it up", i can just run a bench marking test and compare it to a result from a genuine device?? TBH if i opened it up i probably wouldnt get it back together again :) :)

imei check comes back with the correct phone

treble checker(blackcurrent studioz) reports : project treble is supported, but seemless system updates not supported" your device only has one set of partitions bleh bleh bleh"

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
About the treble, it's ok, you can manually update it, once you can unlock bootloader and find the right GSI for your model.

It's not hard to find out, that 6 GB of RAM, as the manufacturer claims to power the device, makes a great and noticeable difference, unlikely the UI/UX is still ugly. Usually, the rugged phones are not that smart mate for you, it's almost all about hardware, not software. Still, keep in mind, that the device could be a ("good") clone yet, as Droidriven claimed.

I have ran into a very specific problem. I have dropped my phone in my car, and ever since then I can't pull down the notification bar. I have a Samsung Note 8. Some back story I have been using adb full immersion mode app to hide the top bar, and nav buttons. I did revert it by running the command adb shell settings put global policy_control null* and that still didn't help.

What is really strange is I can pull it down from the lock screen or when I use nova launcher. I don't know what can cause it to not be able to be pulled down during normal phone use but it works normally if I use nova launcher (which I have not used in almost a 5 years. ), or it working from the lock screen.

Maybe I have some sort of setting running on nova from years ago, or something, and me dropping my phone in the car cause some mix up or it somehow hit some keys, idk. Any help would be nice.

i tried to change a file at my root partion on my rooted Xperia 5 III with Android 11

but i figured out i have no writte right's on it.

i tried many explorer apps but no one works

finaly somebody told me he has no acces eather at his (same) device and he also said it's no working at all anymore.

so my question is it just for Sony Xperia or is it same on every Android device since Android 11.??
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you're rooted, you can do what you're asking about, you just gotta figure out what is interfering/preventing access. Have you granted root permissions to the app you're using to access/modify your root partition? Have you changed the system read/write settings to r/w? The read/write permissions have to be manually set to r/w by the user, it isn't automatically set to r/w just by rooting the device.

On newer devices, the system partition is read-only. To change something on the system partition., you have to use Magisk and likely a module
[General Questions and Answers] DanielMode:
k Magisk i use but which module can do that change to the system partition.?
[General Questions and Answers] DiamondJohn:
its not "one" that does all. Generally, each module changes specific system partition points. This is what "systemless installation" is about. It injects your module into the system before it boots, so it looks like its in the system. For example, I have one module that changes the host file, another that adds in ViperFX and another that mounts / installs BusyBox etc etc etc Each module does 1 specific task. Either you find a specific module that does exactly what you want, or you read about how to create one yourself.

Since A10, with the implementation of dynamic partitions, the system and all the images included in the super partition are RO, (vendor, product, etc.).

There are some Magisk modules, with those, you can get specific goals, for example, a module to get replaced the camera libraries, or, that you can use some custom fonts not admitted from the build, and so on, Magisk modules do readable some specific parts of the system, not the whole system.
