No result here

I also decided to do the same thing today. Downloaded the ZIP file. Unpacked it. Executed the steps (1 up till 6). Every step seemed successful. Device Rebooted.

However, nothing changed at my STC.

What did I miss...?
[Connected Car] Vespavieja:
You should maybe take a look to the applications site... and there could be something new!

Good luck!

I had to bring today my car to the garage for the annual review...

In the "program" there was a "campaigne" for the SCT... something related to the gps and that eventually could get "blocked" with the IGo and so on... the guy there had no idea...

When picking up my car, of course the apps I had installed were left... and it has been a little difficult to reinstall everything from the scratch, root it again... and so on... included some screens asking for "grant" permissions...

Amazing what Volvo is selling as a "high" level "product"... and worse "service"...

Good luck!
[Connected Car] Riccardo72:
Thanks, but I don't know what you mean with "application site..."

By the way. I tried it a few more times, once running the engine and it worked!

I did succeed to open the play store and installed a simple app.

Navigation apps (Sygic, TomTom) gave me an error (498).

I'll keep trying!

Software Update / Crowd Funding

Dear all,

first of all a great great thank you to all the people who contributed to this thread to make it possible to enjoy a rooted Sensus Connect Touch. My rooting was no problem at all!

I am in principle very happy with the hardware and the idea behind but I am disappointed that Parrot does not seem to provide any updates so far and the system is still running on a very old Android. I get in most modern apps a lot of crashes.

What about the idea to start searching for a developer of our own to create a custom rom based on a stable Android 4.x version? I use a lot of custom roms for my phones and have so far not made any bad experiences. Why shouldn't it not be possible to create a clean custom rom for our SCT? Funding could come e. g. through crowd funding. If for example 100 people only would each give 50 EUR I feel it should be possible to find a developer? What are the thoughts to this idea?
[Connected Car] RichieB:
I like this idea a lot. Of course it's pretty easy to brick the SCT because of the lack of a physical debug port. Also, there are a few non-open source parts to take into account like the drivers for the touch screen, media buttons, Volvo CAN bus. Maybe [MENTION=2984707]gekkekoe123[/MENTION] can comment on this?

I pop up this post because i really like to understand how SCT boots and reboots

Does anyone understand something about that ?

Thanks
[Connected Car] santu001:
Ha, still haven't figured it out and it's still a mystery.

About the Android upgrade, I can't image our system is fast enough to handle anything higher then what we have. In fact, I find that rooting stretches beyond the system's ability. I think it's way to old and slow! I already removed apps I rarely use. Even Googleplay services. Still in regard to the first issue? I would be nice to find a way to keep the system alive in the background. Android just isn't designed to boot ever single time. I need it to be fast and stable, and to be honest, it's not! Not really. Software isn't the biggest issue. It's hardware. Then again if it brings a stable and optimized version, I am all for it. ;)

But generally, I'm satisfied with my SCT experience now and a bit past the fiddling-thing... ., I think! Not sure though! :laugh:

I mean, It's still just a car-feature and my phone does so many things, so much better. But if there were to be a better Rom, I would definitely try.There is always room to improve...

[Connected Car] pelle79:
Hi to all!

Couple of weeks ago one morning my SCT completely stopped working. SCT screen stays dark and no power to usb dongle, no life at all. Just like a blown fuse or no supply power.

Since i had service coming up, decided not to worry and let the local Volvo dealer fix it. They now claim they cant fix it and that the whole SCT needs replacing and explained some BS about the SDcard being written full and thats causing the whole system to break. Seemed like they had no clue of the real issue. Said they checked fuses &supply voltages and those were OK. And finally, warranty wont cover the work since warrantyperiod expired just two weeks earlier, which is nice!

After being more than enough "motivate" by this experince, went back home and the checked the sd card. it was about 50% capacity@3,5gb and working just fine from my laptop, so that shouldnt be the cause.

Then checked the power supply connector, 3 wires, black, yellow-gr and yellow-red.

Yellow-red wire gives 12v but yellow-green only gives fluctuating 6,5-7,5V. I guess other of the yellow wires is constant 12v(batt) and other is 12v switched ignition. Can anyone confirm this?

I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

[Connected Car] Zakraket:

Anyway.... I have had quite some problems with SCT on my trip in Scandinavia. Had to reboot everything blabla :( bla and ended up with an standard SCT, unactivated iGo in the middle of nowhere. Sucks!

But, updated to last version, rooted with frama root last week, but now I'm struggling a bit with the final touches. Maybe I overlook, but would it be a good idea to upgrade the startpost with a few things like:

- mounting the cache to install > 7mb

- installing voicelibs for google

- a few "standard" apks, like googlemaps, flitsmeister etc

I'm having trouble finding the right shellcommands/instructions to do these specific tasks, been searhcing the topic for an hour or so now.
[Connected Car] RichieB:

[Connected Car] Zakraket:

Is it neccesary to remount the cache back to internal memory? Why not leave it on SD-card? (Maybe for speed purposes?)
[Connected Car] RichieB:
Yes, mainly for speed purposes. And if you eject your SD card while cache is mounted to it.. bad things will probably happen.
[Connected Car] Vespavieja:
I reliced that I have installed in my SCT, using the "7" in the menu, "only" the 3.6.0.0 version of Waze... and my intention was to have the last one, the 3.9.0.0...

Then I uninstalled Waze and tried to install the last version using again the "7" option of the menu... but I got a failure message...

I have to say that trying to install some apps from the Play store I got also error messages when installing... "408" or something like that... that was also when trying to install Google Play services as required by Inrix...

Our packages were giving invalid apk errors. I think it might be different. But lets wait for someone to verify

I now understand why we got activity error with the previous apk. It was still using the incomplete frama that did not have the activity registered. Which means that the 8xxx modded cpurple mesgenger with the errors might have worked...
[Connected Car] gekkekoe123:
First try the spot 1 and 2. I also created 3 and 4 using the "old" method. I replaced main activity with the title bar and mapped the framalib to libspotify. Please uninstall spotify & framaroot before each try.

spot3 = modified frama using python script

spot4 = modified frama using the masterkey jar

spot5 = modified frama using the masterkey jar -b option

The problem that seems to be persistent from our last attempt is:

Which according to this Stack Overflow thread is a linkage error to the NDK code.
[Connected Car] gekkekoe123:
yes, it cannot find the method: com_alephzain_framaroot_FramaActivity_Check which is present in the framalib.so

It can't find, so that's why it's reporting an linkage error.

2 possible problems:

1. wrong lib, so it cannot find the requested method

2. com/alephzain/framaroot/FramaActivity;.Check () is not translated to com_alephzain_framaroot_FramaActivity_Check correctly causing it not to be found

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

You should regard jni calls as dll class. So in you class you do

Check();

that will translate to

yourpackage_class_Check

method in a .so lib file.

Linkerror means it cannot map your Check() call to the ones in the .so lib. That's why I'm thinking the lib is wrong or the translation is wrong for some reason. But it looks good, so that's why I'm suspecting the lib.
[Connected Car] donaldta:
I guess the problem could be that it is calling the incorrect lib file. But, I think the problem could be more fundamental than that; however, I am not able to verify for sure. Since Framaroot has native code in the "libframalib.so" file then it should be declaring it in the AndroidManifest.XML file, like this:

<meta-data android:name="libframalib.so" android:value="native-activity">

AND it should be declaring its use like this:

<application android:hasCode="true">

However, none of this information is present when I decompile the APK through Multitool (which is using Apktool). And for that same reason, I cannot verify if Spotify or any of the other SCT APKs have any of the same declarations. I am not so sure that apktool is fully decompiling the APK. Have you tried recompiling a modified Framaroot apk (e.g. Frama-Modded.apk) then test it to see if it actually runs without embedding it into another APK?
