The Tomtom map is installed to the sd card, no need to remount the cache folder.

Restoring without a backup app is possible, but you will loose all changes like settings and new apps since you made a manual backup. I prefer automatic backups.

Daylight Saving Time Bug and iGO map update

Hi all,

Today we adjusted 1 hour due to daylight saving time (US Eastern).

However I found my SCT time is always an hour ahead of normal time. I tried to set it as "automatically" or not, whatever time I entered will be changed to 1 hour ahead.

Any solution on this?

Also I am curious if anyone ever updated their iGO map? I believe our factory maps are all 2012.Q4 version, which is out of date...

Tried to contact Volvo NA CS, got a part number 31428079 for the new map update (available later this month).

The price for the new SD card (map) is the same as a new iGO, and Volvo said they'll release updates every 12-18 months...

Any luck to replace our 2012.Q4 maps with latest maps?

Thank you!

Hi all

I have rooted the SCT and that works well, no problem at all. I have not addad so much apps. I do have a few questions

I followed the guide at page 1 and look alright.

i do relly want the waze to work that is the main thing for my with rooting this.

i have downloaded the zip files i found here for waze

Waze_3.7.3.1.apk.001.zip

Waze_3.7.3.1.apk.002.zip

Waze_3.7.3.1.apk.003.zip

taken away the .zip and then used the tool to unzip these files and i get a folder Waze_3.7.3.1.apk what shall i do with this folder and the containg files and folders? how do I install this in the SCT?

I have search the forum but not been able to find the answer.

can someone assist me?

Regards UO
[Connected Car] RichieB:
You need to transfer the apk to you SCT (for example with an SD card) and then install it. Easiest is using a file manager like ES File Explorer.
[Connected Car] ulforv:

Okey, and i will transfer all three files then or will i merge them together in some way?

not sure have access to a SD card, can I use the option 7 in menu file?

Thanks for your qick answer :)

[Connected Car] RichieB:
Apk is a zip file not a folder. Just transfer the apk file and install it on the SCT.
[Connected Car] ulforv:

sorry for not understanding clearly.

should i rename the files?

i have three files with this name Waze_3.7.3.1.apk.001.zip, Waze_3.7.3.1.apk.002.zip, Waze_3.7.3.1.apk.003.zip

I understand that will transfer them, but there are 3 files?

I also now that the ext .zip should be gone but then what?

Need to ask, i dont really understand and the part that i dont get is that it is tree files :)

Regards
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I assume that when you unzip the 3 zip files you will get 1 apk file.
[Connected Car] ulforv:
waze

No i´m not getting one apk file.

i downloaded the files. and removed the ext .zip as instructed, then i opened the files in 7-zip file manager and extracted, what happens now is that it is unpackning the files and create a subfolder Waze_3.7.3.1.apk and i will ad an picuture of whats insida. It looks like the 7 zip software unpack the apk file.

what have i don wrong?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
That is the inside of the apk. You do not need to unzip the apk. Do the instructions not say how to recreate the apk?
[Connected Car] ulforv:

No not that i have found...

Is there anywhere to download this apk pack in one file?

After running rewhitelist.sh it gave an error. (don;t have the error anymore).

Now it shows standard the safety screen when driving so it can;t be operated anymore. (same when installing a new app and not running the rewhitelist)

I copied an old version back of whitelist.xml but it still gives the screen.

Do you know what rule the whitelist.xml needs to have for the system to not show the safety screen?

Maybe someone can post there whitelist.xml, maybe it has some other error in it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi RichieB,

Link2sd is good app, it can move to sdcard and freeze ALL APP of SCT and working from sd card. it needs ext4 format to be better.

I know; SCT supported only Fat32 ; is there any way to suporte Ext4 format ?

Does everything work normally if I uninstall IGO and Spotify? Because I'm using Sygic Navigation 14.3.3 (stable) and Spotify Tablet Mode

have a nice day.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I once found a kernel module for ext4 that looked like the right version for SCT, but it didn't insert nicely into the kernel (bad magic number). So it seems the only way to do this is to build your own ext4 kernel module from the SCT source tree as published by Parrot. I didn't get around to setting up my cross compile environment for ARM yet.

Hi Guys.

I tried to root my SCT. I do have a SW version-1.49.34.

Downloaded zip file to PC. Unzipped it

Connected to the same network PC and SCT.

Then I started the men.bat.

It opens up. Asks for the ip address. I put in the IP address of the SCT.

Then menu appears with selection f choices 1,2,3, etc

So I enter 1

And it after several seconds says: error device not found. :(

What could be the issue?

Anyone can tell me how I can mount a USB Flashdrive? I tried plugging one in and some Gracenote thing briefly appeared on the screen but ES File Explorer or any other app doesn't seem to recognize that a flash drive is inserted?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Make sure the SD card is formatted fat32. The SCT kernel does not recognize any other file system format. It should be mounted automatically.
[Connected Car] nfshp253:
Thanks for the reply but I meant the USB Flash drive, not the SD card. I've found that the Gallery application manages to read the files on the USB drive and I can from there play videos and musics and view pictures, but just can't get it to show up in ES File Explorer. Do you know why this is so?

And does anyone know how to update the iGO navigation maps? I just got my car and was shocked to find that my maps are from Jan 2013.

Oh and does anyone know how to fix that write-protection thing the system puts on any SD card inserted? I inserted my own personal card in and now I can't edit anything on it using my computer. I can turn off read-only and tried that registry trick that turns up when googling the issue but nothing works.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
The external drives get mounted outside of the standard Android sdcard locations. Norma apps can't get to it, but ES Explorer with root access should be able to. Open a shell and look at the output of the mount command to find the location.

Map update for iGO would be very interesting. I refuse to pay the ridiculous price Volvo is asking for a map update.

[Connected Car] RichieB:
SuperSU has nothing to do with the SCT booting. See if you can still connect to it with adb. If not, it is probably bricked.
[Connected Car] nfshp253:
Ah never mind. I removed the SD card and it booted. Seems like SuperSU not finishing the binaries update process was the culprit. After letting it do that, it rebooted with the SD card in with no problems. Strange.

With regards to the USB drive showing up in the file explorer, do you have any tips on how to do this?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I just checked on my SCT and my external USB drive is mounted at /tmp/udev/dev/.mnt/sda1 I was able to view this location in ES File Explorer after enabling hidden files in the settings (because of the hidden folder .mnt).
[Connected Car] nfshp253:
Thanks. I'll try that out and see if that works.
[Connected Car] pugjels:
Sorry. Was away from my car. So tried to ping a SCT.

When I do the ping then it says. Destination host unreachable. :(

Any ideas how to proceed. Dump it in a ditch?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
If you cannot ping your SCT from your PC they are probably not connected to the same (Wifi) network. Or you have the wrong IP address for the SCT written down. You need to fix that first before proceeding with menu.bat.
[Connected Car] pugjels:
Have been connected to the same networks and tried several networks as well. (Tried to connect thru wfi hotspot on the smartphone- was not able to connect) written down the SCT IP address from the settings (can they be different if I use different networks?).
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Every time your SCT connects to a different network it will get a new IP address.
[Connected Car] pugjels:
Ok thanks. I tried with the different networks and with the different IPs, but no success. Will try to use different laptop instead just to check maybe there is a problem.

Juat go to the settings, then applications click on the waze. There you will find an option to mive to sd card.

Something very important, always exit. waze before turning off the car... this will prevent wabze to corrupt sometimes.
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I don't use an app, but just this command from the root prompt:

sed -ie 's/^\(ro.sf.lcd_density=\).*$/\1200/' /system/build.prop

This changes the DPI to 200.
[Connected Car] nfshp253:
Thanks for that. I'll try that out. How safe is it to run the command? Do I need to take some precautions? And did you mean sed -ie 's/^\(ro.sf.lcd_density=\).*$/\200/' /system/build.prop instead?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
No, I did not. \1 refers to the string defined between \( and \) in the search. If you try to use the command you just posted you will most likely brick your SCT. Editing your build.prop is very dangerous, if you don't know what you are doing you are probably better of using an app (but even then you can easily mess things up).
[Connected Car] nfshp253:
Oh I see. Sorry about that. I have tried to use apps to change the density but none of them seemed to work.

No, ADW Launcher hides the status bar only for its own app. There are plenty of system wide tweak apps that can do this though. I never tried them because I think the status bar is useful.

Stagefright-framework vulnerability

Possible security issue (and hack vulnerability) for Android versions 2.2 and up, so also for SCT:

The browser on the SCT may be compromised this way, receiving MMS is not a risk.

Dear friends,

Finally installed yesterday SCT into my car. Updated FW, installed root, made Setup hidden menus tweaks, installed some basic programs. Everything is fine except one thing – I can’t install any program from the market (less 7mb, more - doesn't matter), even offered update of SuperSu. Looks like market updated itself to the latest version, but like previously – no result. Always appears one error message:

Error while retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-7:AEC-0 xxx-xxx-xxx]

Tried to find similar problems here and on 4pda, but without results. Common Internet search shows, that this error might be caused of the hardware incompatibility.

What has been done:

- I created the new Google account for SCT

- Cleaned market cache

- Switched between Google accounts

Last choice I have as understand – to reinstall the market from framaroot bat or even to make clean reinstall. But…it takes so much time…Maybe someone faced similar problem and knows how to fix it easier?!
