[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vairetz:
Hi guys I've installed kali nethunter on my old smartphone and I have a problem with the terminal. When I try to boot kali with command: bootkali, I recive an error message about permission despite I use root terminal. I have a moto g 2gen and I've done a downgrade from marshmellow to lollipo to use kali nethunter's version for nexus 4. I've tryed also the version for nexus 5 mashmellow before downgrade but It gives me an error while installing chroot. Anyone can helpme to solve the problem or simply I can't use kali on my old phone? :(

Terminal:

root@titan_umtsds: / # bootkali

tmp-mksh: bootkali: can't execute: Permission denied
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DethByte:
Try setting the permissions to 755 as root. Like this:

mount -o rw,remount /system #mount /system rw

cd /system/bin/ #change dir

chmod 755 bootkali #set permission rwxr-xr-x

mount -o ro,remount /system #mount /system ro

Okay, so once again I am diving head-first into finding a factory replacement radio for 2015+ Mustangs, and after spending a few months talking with a manufacturer in China, I was able to get a Test unit. What I'm trying to find out is, since they sent me a pile of software (what they claim is everything they have on the unit) is there anyone who might be able to help me figure out a method to gain ROOT access?

All I know about it is that it's based on the MediaTek MT3561 with 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM. I have the entire image used to install the software on the device (at least I think I do.)

If someone is interested in assisting me with it long-term after ROOT, to eliminate "Engrish," misspellings, and updating some images, I would definitely compensate them for it!

Here's a link to the software I have:

[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
I'm surprised that nobody is interested in a bounty...?
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
Bump!
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
Okay, so I tried some of the methods I've found on the forum to no avail, and decided to adb over WiFi into my unit, and list the contents of /system/bin/ I don't know if this is even useful information, but I'm REALLY looking for some kind of help.

[Android Head-Units] Jstyants:
cool
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
Can anyone at least tell me what information I need to get from this device physically, or the build.prop (or whatever) to work on taking steps to gain ROOT?
[Android Head-Units] PoppaRoxie1986:
A long shot possibility here. It might be worthwhile to look at techniques used by people to root similar devices to your radio running the same version of Android. For example, the Ownice C500 head unit. It appears that unit uses the same MediaTek CPU as yours. Also perhaps do a little searching for other brand name head units using that CPU and see if/how those units can be rooted. You may be able to find the answer that you need.

Good luck finding root for your unit.
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
Hey, I appreciate the reply- I've actually already done that as far as I know how. The only method I've seen so far involves using a command in the terminal involving "Forfan guoboneedav -" and another running "su@zxcvbnm.." but neither of those work. I don't know if forfan is a file name/command or what, but it gives me the error "forfan not found" or something like that.
[Android Head-Units] PoppaRoxie1986:
My pleasure. My first guess would be that forfan is a script/executable found in the system folder on the Ownice units maybe not on yours perhaps. Not sure what it does or supposed to do, but the rest of their method seems reasonable enough.

Did you by chance get that arm64.zip, extract the contents to sd card, and try the rest of that method involving terminal past the forfan line? I have an Intel Sofia based head unit which is different from yours but I am familiar enough with the command prompt/shell scripts to try to help.
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
Bump, I'm relentless!
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
Okay, I made some potential progress last night. I used the update files I got from the manufacturer and Magisk to patch the Boot.IMG file. I tried to put that patched BOOT.IMG into the update.zip and use the auro-recovery feature of the Head Unit to load it, and it fails the signature verification. That tells me I need to unlock the bootloader somehow. In Dev Options, I have a button for "Allow OEM Unlock" that I turned on, I just have to figure out the process. I'm going to keep trying to get this done! My first 2 things to try are just using ADB over WiFi and sending "fastboot oem unlock" and see what happens. Then I'll try rebooting with a USB keyboard attached into a weird "fastboot" screen the unit has built in. I just know it doesn't connect to my PC via USB, regardless of what I try.
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
Did you try to type "su" at the command prompt when you logged into it via adb? Most chinese car radios are root right out of the box.

As far as a bounty goes (or actually what you are proposing sounds more like a support contract than a bounty), I certainly wouldn't want to assume any kind of responsibility for those things. Not without source code (your link is just to a system update package, which is basically worthless).

Your first post is interesting. Are you a car dealer? Would you consider supporting a project that is better than low end locked down chinese crap?

https://github.com/HiKey960-Car
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
I'm not a car dealer, no. I'm not looking for a support contract, just someone to help me root it, and perhaps clean up some Engrish from the few places I've found it.

I did try running su but I get permission denied. That was via adb over wifi and from the terminal.

Tomorrow I'll be putting it on my bench to try using fastboot and adb via USB.
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
USB woes

Well, I spent the weekend with it on my kitchen counter, trying to access it via ADB, but no matter what I do, my PC doesn't acknowledge that it's even connected to anything. In fact, none of the laptops in my house did. It just straight-up ignores the fact that something was just plugged into the USB port. -and yes, USB Debugging mode is turned on, and I have the ADB drivers installed on my laptop as well as Android Studio. I also tried everything below while connected to my laptop in various order.

Now, the head unit has options for USB mode, HOST and DEVICE. (As well as the option to use USB 2.0 or 1.1 for some reason?) When it's in HOST mode, it reads USB drives just fine for files, and lets me use a USB Keyboard but in Device mode, it doesn't. In fact, it does nothing via USB in Device mode. So, I'm wondering if maybe it's related to USB OTG settings that I can't access via the UI or something. Thoughts are appreciated.

Also, I can run terminal commands on it, and I can navigate through just fine, but get permission denied when I type "su" the prompt. I can use "reboot" just fine, and "reboot recovery" tries to launch some integrated auto-installation of recovery on the USB drive. If I run "reboot bootloader" it just goes to a black screen and says "FASTBOOT" at the bottom. It doesn't respond to keyboard or anything in that state though.

Anyone have any thoughts?

[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
Well, it would definitely have to be in device mode for ADB to work over USB. Probably has a USB hub in between the port and the socket though, so you would need to figure out where the hub IC is, and how to connect to the SoC side of it.

Have you tried ADB over IP?

Try running "setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555" and then reboot, then try to "adb connect <ip address of radio>" and then "adb shell".

Fastboot has the same requirement as adb... device mode, and wiring.

Not sure what you mean by "ADB drivers installed on my laptop". ADB does not require drivers.

What does your host machine's kernel say when you try plugging in? Check the bottom of dmesg just after plugging in. Also check what "lsusb" outputs.

You starting to get a good picture of what makes chinese radios suck?
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
Yes, if you read my earlier posts, you'd see I can adb via ssh. My laptop detects nothing in any way, shape or form.

I have the MediaTek USB drivers installed for ADB.

Also, if you have a way to manufacture a unit en masse that does everything this one does for under $300USD, feel free to tell me more.

The fact that I'm trying to gain access that I'm not intended to have doesn't make it suck.

As for finding the hub, I've got a picture of the guts, but that's not much help.

View attachment 4428019
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
One of the reasons why my first question to you was if you are a car dealer or not, is because if you were and wanted to build something that was good and not too terribly expensive, I could certainly arrange it, but not if you just want to buy one for you and one for your wife/gf. Are you interested in placing an order for... say 10,000 units? Also understanding that they won't look like the prototype in the picture. I would happily stick them in a nice DDIN box and switch some of the external USB parts to more integrated, specifically the AMFM radio and sound card. Switch those over to integrated i2s+i2c.

Your statement "The fact that I'm trying to gain access that I'm not intended to have doesn't make it suck." doesn't make any sense. Did you buy it or not? If you did, then I would think that it BELONGS TO YOU, and therefore it is INTENDED for you to actually use in whatever way you see fit. And there is no valid reason whatsoever that it should be locked out of your (the owner's) access. In fact, the very notion that anyone would believe that this kind of configuration is in any way acceptable makes me sick to my stomach.

Not to mention the fact that the manufacturer is in violation of software licensing agreements (GPL on the kernel, and proprietary on the google applications and other software that is pirated).
[Android Head-Units] PatrickHenninger:
I'm not a car dealer. I am working directly with a manufacturer in China to custom build these units for at least 50 people to start, and onward into the hundreds. Will it reach thousands, or tens-of-thousands? No idea. It's all part of a group-buy.

Anyhow, a DDIN will not work in these cars. It has to include everything shown in the picture, with the exception of my bench power supply. Even a regular dash kit for our cars (by Metra, Spectre, whoever) is in the $350-$450 range, NOT including the radio- ergo, this is the best current solution. Long story short, whatever you can build just won't work for what I'm doing.

Yes, my statement DOES make sense. 99% of what this unit is designed to do, it does an amazing job of. The 1% of failure comes from 1 screen that has a poor English translation, and it's part of a system app that I can't replace with my modified version without root access to replace it. Considering it's using open source, I'm not sure what they're pirating, since the only apps it comes with (aside from their in-house music player, radio app, and HVAC controller) would be Google Play and Adobe Reader.

I decided to look through some of your posts, and see you singing the same song in the majority of them. You talk smack about every device you don't like, you're condescending, and the only opinion that seems to matter to you is yours. In fact, the only help (and I use that term loosely) that you've offered here, is to attempt things that I already stated I had tried, but perhaps you were too preoccupied by your own inflated ego to bother reading all the details, and went straight to attempted condescension. While I appreciate your potential intent of assistance, I don't believe you're capable of offering any kind of helpful input, or information with any kind of value- with that, I say "Good day, sir."

Enjoy your Batman comics.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] valueDD:
I hope this hasn't been answered before but searching through these forums with the keyword "tether" and also searching google I have found no solutions

I am tethering my phone's data connection to my laptop, but every time I receive a phone call my connection gets interrupted. I am using my phone's data connection because the wifi here is garbage cause the family is constantly streaming videos.

So what I want is a way to stop receiving calls or even better is my data connection not to be interrupted while receiving calls. Either way is a solution for me.

As an avid gamer, even a few seconds of disconnect feels like a lifetime. Hope someone can help! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rumpelst:
Check your operator if it support VoLTE. If yes and your phone software was modified by operator than you just need to activate VoLTE in data settings and you will be able to transfer data during calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] valueDD:
I'm sorry but what? Check my operator? I'm not quite sure what that means. I checked everywhere in settings and could not find something that resembled VoLTE. A more noob friendly walk through would help.

Edit: Looked around and found out that my phone doesn't have that option where some galaxy S8+ do have the option. How do I enable seeing it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kclive:
Try enabling the do not disturb mode
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] valueDD:
Still interrupts my connection, I still receive the call but it's just muted. If there was a way to forward all calls to voicemail maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] valueDD:
still having a really bad time over here guys :( help :eek:?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rumpelst:
ValueDD Did you enabled VoLte ? Without it data interruption during call is completely normal. If you are on 4G standard when incoming data call is detected then you phone need to switch to 2G to handle it and in this standard other data than vice call cannot be transmitted . Because of that couple years ago VoLte standard was developed which allows to handle calls in 4G technology. For VoLte working it need to be enabled on your phone which need to be supported by our carrier as a VoLte standard itself...If your phone is unsupported than you phone wouldn’t have voice over LTE switch present in the system.

Hello,

I have a problem with my redmi 3s. It does not boot, it does nothing but shows only Linux penguin logo

[IMG="linux penguin"]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Tux.png[/IMG]

vol+ and vol- aren't working, vol- and powerbutton doesn't run recovery, neither vol+ and pwr btn, Literally, it does nothing but shows that logo.

Bootloader is locked.

What I have tried?

I have entered to 9008 mode (2 wires from USB cable circuted - it enters 9008 mode, sometimes 900E) and then flashed few roms :

-Global-7.5.9.0, 8.0.3.0 and 8.2.1

with success (at least Miflash beta says so, it didn't work on older miflash) but phone still shows only that penguin.

What else can I do?

Hello. I just got a Note 8 with the Samsung LED case. So far, I'm loving both and the case looks so beautiful. However, the icon creating app, 'LED Icon Editor', is not very good. It's quite difficult to draw the icons if you're not very good at drawing (I suck).

Here's the interface:

Has anybody find any app or online guide that can be useful to design different icons. For instance, I use WhatsApp a lot, and so far, every attempt to draw the WhatsApp icon has been a total failure so I'm just using a W, which also was not very easy to draw. So I used something like this as a guide but it won't work for icons just letters and common symbols

The guide I've been using:

Another issue I have is that if I reset or flash my phone, I will lose all my custom icons. Is there any way to backup the data for this app without root? (I'm thinking maybe backing up a particular folder).

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheStillMan:
Apparently you can't set it to the text app though? I see multiple apps listed, but no texts apps are in that list. Same with the Phone app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mub51:
That is correct. However you could try selecting contacts. I do not now if this will work.

For messaging, you could try to download a third party messaging app and give permission to the app to receive all messages, then you could select that app and give it a different led icon.

This is all in theory I did not check it for you.

Let me know if it works

Sent from my Note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheStillMan:
I tried selecting all the contacts, but it only lets you select up to 100 contacts per icon.

The 3rd party messaging apps do not show on the list either.

Alas, it seems that this may not be a possibility.

[Huawei Watch 2] mitchward1971:
Hello All ... Had my 4G/LTE version since xmas. I wanted it to primarily accompany me on runs whilst leaving my phone at home and listening to live radio on-the-go.

Some issues to start with getting a stand-alone radio player...but I solved that by sideloading an apk of a simple player designed for a phone.

I now Bluetooth connect my headphones to the watch; switch my phone OFF (to be sure I'm fully independent of the phone)...Strava on...and off I trot...

THE QUESTION....after weeks of doing this my data plan on the SIM in my watch shows ZERO usage. This cannot be...right?....watch on; phone OFF & at home; me miles away on a run and listening to live news radio...and yet no data has been used by the watch SIM card.

Has anyone an understanding of how this can be??

I realise that this is a very first-world-problem and that I should just be happy...which I am. But I do hate not understanding things...and this has got me bamboozled!

((...if anyone is wondering how long the battery lasts with all this going on...well the answer is NOT LONG...about an hour and it's toast (literally as hot as toast as well :rolleyes: )))
