It's device specific so if you can't find the device model then I can't do much.

As for flashing you can only apply update which obviously doesn't do what you want, but you can try factory resetting. Some bloatware can be removed by factory resetting. Here is how.

Alternatively you can use SD card to apply update from it - Should you find the firmware - by following this guide.

I've been working with him on another site about this and have told him pretty much the same thing you have. This is his Device model HD-5301B IPMacro this is all I could find on it

CPU: RT6856 MediaTek SoC 700Mhz MIPS

OS: Androdi INNOXPLAY

It most certainly does not Have an Amlogic S905X in it. He want to flash it with custom firmware because it's a locked one provider box that he cannot sideload apk's to. Thing is there is just not a custom firmware out there for it. I've spent way more time looking for one for him than I wanted to but I'm a nice guy. I've told him to chalk it up as a learning experience. Don't buy one provider boxes and get something that's main stream that way you stand a better chance of doing things with it in the future.

Good people should really stop trying imo, like the more you try the more the dude you're talking to asks.

And usually just impudently asks for the unreasonable without doing any research whatsoever by themselves, how rude can someone get?

Anyway lemme give you and people like you a cookie. Don't actually listen to my opinion, good natured people like you are still needed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stech787:
thanks, I appreciate that. its a good learning experience.

One thing I wanted pull back from my post is that my box is not IPmacro 5301. IPmacro is just another vendor selling that box. I digg alot of other vendors. Such as NoorHDTV, unitedTV, catcast etc. they all have same box, but under different name.

Just found another vendor http://androidtvboxquadcore.org/201...an-400-channels-two-years-of-service-include/

See attached photo of the safe mode window. what is this URL used for? I do have a paid iPTV service, should I add that here? or should I add the m3u URL directly here?

my question is still outstanding, whether my box is android or Linux?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotrod369:
Thank you for the compliment I am good natured. I'm actually disabled and can't work anymore so helping people let's me feel I'm still useful in the world. lol I Have a TranSpeed 8K Ultra-HD S905X3 box that came with truly cheesy firmware so I set out on a mission to make the box as good as possible without a worry over ruining it. I wasn't going to use it as it was. After several failures trying to find a suitable firmware and bricking it several times I found the SlimBox Rom and am a happy camper.

Before I found the SlimBox I set out on a mission to take another firmware that worked good but wasn't set up for my wifi chip and remote configs and fix it myself. I got as far as getting it unpacked and finding the files I needed to do the fix but wasn't able to repack it. There just not a lot of good software out there for Android 9.0 or there wasn't at the time. Ok I'm rambling have a great evening.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotrod369:
Did you find the reset button and have it pushed when you powered up the device?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotrod369:
Disconnect the box completely from everything but the power. Have to the box shut off depress the reset switch then plug the usb into the USB 2.0 port on the box. Then the burner should detect the box. Make sure the USB cable is rated for data transfer and the you are plugged into USB 2.0 port on the PC.

I have this cable

QVS USB 3.1 (Gen 1 Type-A) Male to USB 3.1 (Gen 1 Type-A) Male Cable 3 ft. - Black - Micro Center

Get it now! This cable connects your computer to any USB device with Type A female port. Works with development boards that uses USB Type-A female ports including JTAG programming modules. It is USB 3.0/3.

www.microcenter.com

I have one cable for HDMI connected

Other is the power.

3rd is the USB male A to Male A

I noticed, even when the power cable is disconnected the box seems on because USB cable is connected.

Some people said, to press the reset button, then connect usb to PC? I did that too nothing happens.

If I have the wrong img file, it should still at least detect it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotrod369:
You know that reminds me. It's been a good while since I've done this and my memory ain't what it used to be. disconnect the power also. You don't want the box connected to anything. Then press the reset and then connect the USB.

I've developed my first Android game.

It is my first flutter application, I've ever developed.

It is my first game, I've ever developed.

And I want your honest opinions how is my first ever android game. Is it playable, boring, bad or good? How can I improve it? Here is the play store link:

# count number of files

# generate random number in range 1-NUM
let "ran=(${RANDOM} % ${num})+ 1"
echo Random from $num files is $ran
sour=${list[ran]}
sourn=${sour#$dirs}
sourn=${sourn:1:${#sourn}}
date=$(date +"%Y.%m.%d %H:%M")
day=$(date +"%d")
hour=$(date +"%H")
minute=$(date +"%M")

if ([ "$day" = "01" ] && [[ "$minute" < "29" ]]) || [ ! -f $dird$last ]; then
echo >$dird$last $message
else
sed -i '1i'$message $dird$last
fi
echo $delim1$sourn$delim2
# rename the old file
cp $dest.$ext $dest'_back.'$ext
# copy the file
cat "$sour" >$dest.$ext
echo File copied as $delim1$dest.$ext$delim2

Can you please help me why this happens, and how to fix it?

Thank you very much for your attention!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uranya:
Having done some tests I have found this:

opening a root privileged terminal and executing

---

echo `find /storage/7BC3-1805/Music/MP3/Abba -type f -name *.mp3`

---

it returns two strings containing the names of files inside that folder, but putting it in my script continues to return an empty array, so the issue is not in the access to the folder, but in the syntax, I guess
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CXZa:
try putting that *.$ext into quotes...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uranya:
Dear friends, CXZa, after a couple of hours debugging the script, finally, I have found the mistake!

The line to be used is:

list=( `find "$dirs" -type f -name "*.$ext"` )

it is a very subtle difference: the space after and before the parenthesis!

(even the word busybox is useless)

Oddly in the Busybox app (I have had on my S3 Pro) the spaces are not mandatory, whilst in the Busybox Magisk module those spaces ARE mandatory!

I'm using that script for almost 8 years to have an every day different music for my wake up.

I'm using Tasker to call it just before my alarm get off, so the same file contains every day, a different song.

I have done a change also in the array index that did not began by 0...

So, here it is the right script:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo
if test "$1" = ""; then
echo "Randomfile script by Uranya <@uranya7x> v1.5 26.03.2021"
echo "Usage:"
echo "sh randomfile.sh <sourcedir> <extension> <destdir>"
exit 1
fi
dirs=$1
ext=$2
dird=$3'/'
dest=$dird'random'
delim1=""
delim2=""
last='last.txt'
# create filename's array
IFS=$'\n'
list=( `find "$dirs" -type f -name "*.$ext"` )
# count number of files
num=${#list[@]}
# generate random number in range 1-NUM
let "ran=(${RANDOM} % ${num})+ 1"
echo Random from $num files is $ran
sour=${list[$ran-1]}
sourn=${sour#$dirs}
sourn=${sourn:1:${#sourn}}
date=$(date +"%Y.%m.%d %H:%M")
day=$(date +"%d")
hour=$(date +"%H")
minute=$(date +"%M")
message='---------------------------------------\n'$date' - '$num' >>> '$ran'\n'$delim1$sourn$delim2
if ([ "$day" = "01" ] && [[ "$minute" < "29" ]]) || [ ! -f $dird$last ]; then
echo >$dird$last $message
else
sed -i '1i'$message $dird$last
fi
echo $delim1$sourn$delim2
# rename the old file
cp $dest.$ext $dest'_back.'$ext
# copy the file
cat "$sour" >$dest.$ext
echo File copied as $delim1$dest.$ext

I hope it will be useful to someone else that loves to be waked up by music...

I believe this software makes it simplier as overall less 'clicks' are needed.

It reminds me of a ReadItLater browser extension (before it began to be Pocket). The simple idea to keep saved links (all in a single list) and open all of them with one click and ability to automatically clear the list was lost at some point

I hope this one can be developed further to resemble quality of life functionalities as described.

Hi Pritman,

I just went through the same thing after upgrading to the Touch Pro from the Dopod 838Pro (Hermes).

There's a firmware update available for the KCA-BT200 which may well fix your issues (certainly did mine).

The firmware flash is very easy to do. You will just need a laptop with a bluetooth adaptor.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Johnnysks:
Wow, never thought I would fine anyone else with the combination of Kenwood DNX-7100, KCA-BT200 AND the touch pro. I am having similar issues.

DNX-7100 with BT100 worked fine with touch pro.

"upgraded" to BT200, and I have nothing but headaches.

I have tried two different BT200, and both have been flaky.

I have tried BT200 firmware 1.60 and 1.70, and both have been flaky.

My problem is similar to the ones you folks have been experiencing, mainly it is constantly downloading, and the interface is super sluggish when downloading. I can retrieve a name and phone number from the BT200's memory, but when I call out it will say downloading and do nothing. Sometimes it won't "pair" with the phone automatically unless I manually select my phone from the DNX-7100, and sometimes it will just drop the connection. I used the BT100 for about a year, and it was solid 95% of the time. I am running stock Telus rom, btw. I have also played around with the dip switch on the BT-200. From the shipped manual, DNX-7100 belongs in group F, which is off, off, on for dip switch 1, 2, 3. But when I searched online, some of Kenwood's info listed the DNX-7100 under group G, which has dip switch off, on, off, just to add to the confusion. I have also tried removing the "wireless stereo" profile as well as the "serial port" profile, but that fixed nothing. Lastly, just to kick me when I'm down, when it list the numbers, sometimes it list them as first name, then last name, but sometimes it list it as last name then first. This is super irritating as you can't be sure where anyone is listed ..... so far my experience with the BT200 has been nothing but horrible. I am on the verge of flashing my touch pro to a cooked ROM just to see if it is due to the stock Telus rom's bluetooth (I went back to stock as the juggalo rom I used became corrupt after a few weeks).

So, did you guys finally find a solution that worked 100% of the time?
