OK, I managed to unpack the img file and to edit build.prop - Thanks fot that info :) One small step forward.

I added:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

persist.service.adb.enable=1

persist.service.debuggable=1

persist.sys.usb.config=ptp,adb (this one already exists)

Hoping it will allow me to access the system via adb or screen directly after reflash.

I didn't pack it back yet as I still didn't manage to access this device from computer...

I tried to find a spot on mainboard - I've made a connection on two spots:

View attachment 5172699

But no luck...

There is more spots however, but none marked as recovery, ADFU, or similar...

View attachment 5172701

And still no USB debugging, nor adb connection...:/

Tried of course some tricks with power button holding, clicking, reseting while hold, etc...

Any further suggestions...?

Maybe some ideas to enforce upgrade via wifi? I can establish a server, but not sure what exactly server should serve...? Just an img file is rather not enough...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Below that E351308 text, or above if other way around, is the target for those pin suggestions. But try battery, you can always solder it back together,.. or just let it go empty - might work...

> what exactly server should serve...?

yeah, there probably is some data exchange before the download..

BTW, this img appears to have adb enabled, so it's not the last one... Or it's disabled by other means...

Data it sent:

That hardware exposed me. It didn't get that from *.prop files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matisys:
OK, so currently it's like below.

I already tried some tricks with battery - disconnecting, connecting while booting, and no luck...

I tried with all spots marked below - one by one, and some combinations of few of them...

View attachment 5172769

And the status is like that - spots 2 and 3 - seems to be ignored when connected - device behaves like nothing happened. It's more interesting when I connected 1 or 4. Device didn't start, and in a computer it appeared as unknown winusb device or Billboard device when connected 4 (USB\VID_1F3A&PID_EFE8&REV_02;3).

Universal ADB driver installer doesn't recognize it...

The only driver I managed to install was Allwinner driver and it appeared as USB Device(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8).

But still no luck with adb connection... Phoenix suite also doesn't recognize the device... In this state screen remains black and AXP223 (Power management) quickly becomes hot as hell (battery unplugged)...

Once unsoldered - it went back to life.

I also realized that my device says that it is version ZM7WIFI_20150717... what is confusing a bit because in other place it says it's 2.2 23-5.03.2015 software version...

But still no connection or any option to flash it :(

Can you tell me how do you run this software/hardware to see what does it send?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matisys:
I can still use OTG keyboard and mouse - maybe there is some option to enter android settings and simply enable USB debugging?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
Those pins that I mentioned at slatedroid are on the sides of that chip.. and don't solder, just place some tool - a needle between them. And if recognized remove it as after error it must function again in order to flash or what ever..

Here is one older post showing pin connecting for Amlogic,

that other was Actions Semi. Both go a mode that enables flashing when device looks dead. I don't know about Allwinner, is it similar...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matisys:
So it seems that would be all, and the device got bricked...

I started the device with 7 and 8 pin of Flash memory connected - it was connected to PC and PhoenixSuite with original img loaded was running.Phoenix asked me immediately if I want to format the device - I clicked no, and it still started to flash the memory... It finished succesfully, device restarted and...now it freezes on initial logo.

Phoenix and adb recognize the device now, but adb shell doesn't work:

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

and when I try to repeat flashing, phoenix recognizes device, but once I click upgrade - device resets, and upgrade is not performed...

EDIT: It's not that bad... I managed to make it working again on original software, and after one more reflash - ADB works well :)

Thanks a lot for all your help! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
(y)

Did the reset hole fix it?

Maybe you should have formatted it in case the data is the reason to the freeze. But how it recovered?... :sneaky:

Great! Now disable that ota updater apk so it doesn't update it again...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matisys:
It's actually hard to tell how it got fixed... instruction tells to not format the storage to not loose the unique device number - so I didn't, but it seems that it got formatted by itself as I lost all my pictures, but number remained untouched.

Now adb is enabled and I can freely connect to it - seems that something simply went wrong during previous upgrade years ago.

build.prop file gets restored after every reboot, so I can't put and store any changes there...

And OTA is not an issue as this device is not supported for a long time now ;) And I'm not exactly sure how to do it, and feel a bit afraid of touching it when it finally works... ;)

[HOW TO] 2-way network file sharing on Android

Hi everyone, just thought I'd write up some quick instructions on how to set up file sharing between Android and a PC - both mounting Windows shares on Android, and Android on Windows. I was always frustrated by iOS's inability to do this easily, and it was one of the major reasons I switched...

forums.androidcentral.com
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matisys:
Thanks. Finally, after some trials I used SSHDroid and it's quite decent...

Can you also tell me how to permanently edit build.prop file? Mine is reverted to original after reboot. Device is factory rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
So, you edited the system in that img file. Is that the build.prop that comes back, or some other from nowhere?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matisys:
No, I was trying to edit it 'live' in the device.

But I gave up, because finally I used SSH Droid app for remote access and LAN Drive app to manage pictures remotely via SMB - I only hope it will be stable enough to be useful, but if so - I will not need physical access to device anymore. I'm also not sure if visible buttons would not affect the way it operates.

Anyway - thank you for your entire support - without you I wouldn't manage to achieve that. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valerix85:
Hi,

I’ve the zoom.me device also, can someone explain how to change the firmware and then be able to manage it by itself? Because the app doesn’t work anymore in iOS.

thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matisys:
Hi,

Firmware modification is probably possible, but if you will follow this topic, you will find even names of applications I have installed on my Zoom.me to manage it without stock app.

I'm using Nova Launcher to manage installed apps, SSH Droid for FTP/SSH access and LANDrive to map my Zoom.me as a network drive in windows PC. That allows me to modify content of my zoom.me from PC. If you need other kind of access - I'm sure that you will find an apps which will do it for you.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Qnorsten:
After reading about the problem people have with video playback the latest OTA versions"IN: 11.0.6.7.KB05DA ; EU: 11.0.6.8.KB05BA ; NA: 11.0.6.7.KB05AA "

I want to ask what is the best way to backup as much data as possible before updating in case I need to wipe and downgrade later. On my older phones when I was rooted I would just fire up TWRP and take a nandroid backup before updating. If any problems I would just restore that.

What is the best alternative without root? Adb backup? and manual sync/copy of photos and stuff to the cloud/my computer. I read about adb backup that not working properly for some people and possible being deprecated in the future.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
One of the reasons I got the 10+ was for the SD card slot. I use the SD card like a data drive. The internal memory is for the OS, programs and to temporarily store downloads (to check for malware).

Samsung's also have Smart Switch to back up settings data, apps, etc. That backup copy is also on the SD card (haven't tested it yet).

Right now I can do a complete reload with little or no internet connection and be good to go in about 2 hours.

You can use external memory instead though. Cloud crap takes too long, same with Playstore.

Use ApkExport to copy all your apps and updates then load directly from those copies.

Save all critical data on the external hd. Make sure your bookmarks are recoverable. Any app that allows you to backup their settings, do so and add those as well.

Make sure you copy your contacts and text messages.

I keep master folders on my phone for documents, music, vids, dcim by year, etc that match to those stored in my laptop which serves as a secondary backup to my SD card. Keep at least two backup copies and store in separate locations. Ideally one should be completely off line and stored in a earth grounded metal box.

Hdds are preferable to flash memory.

Workout a plan within the limitations of your device and software before you need it.
