Thank you very much. Did you use adb via usb/wifi and it worked ? I will try it.

This is a photo of inside the device . Is there anything that I can do ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
I used adb via LAN connection but the box wasn't locked so I just enabled usb debugging and connected to it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xristos1925:
How did you do it ? Would you mind explain in detail ?

Thank you very much.

So I finally made it. adb shell couldn't disable the EON apps and services, but AdbAPP control could do it and I disabled EON TV apps and now it function as a normal TV box normally.

Is it safe to completely unistall the EON TV packages or it would come up with problem ?

I say it just in case anything goes wrong and eon screen appears in boot.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Functioner:
What adb command did you use to attempt to disable the apps, and what error did you get?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xristos1925:
What you said in the previous post.

First i typed adb shell, then pm list packages to show the list of the packages and then pm disable and the name of the package and it would come up with an error. But Adb APP control disabled them with success.

If I completely unistall the eon packages(with having a backup of the apk through the program) Can I do it ?

This is the error

pm disable com.ug.eon.android.tv.ftu

Hmm, maybe those packages are protected in some way, or they can only be disabled at user level.

Does user disable also not work?

pm disable-user --user 0 com.ug.eon.android.tv.ftu

If "Adb APP control" was able to disable them, that is fine. If even that didn't work, you could have rooted the device to disable them.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xristos1925:
Thank you for the reply ! Yes Adb APP control was able to disable them. I have a question. If those eon packages unistall them, would be working normally ??

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xristos1925:
Thank you ! Also a friend of mine gave me the CHOTT0102 S905X3 and The contract was ending at the end of the month so eon screen at boot was already bypassed and I removed the eon packages, now it can used as a normal tv box without eon and eon screen at boot.

Also on CHOTT can a custom rom like this be installed ?

Or something from Aidans Rom or Slimbox rom ?

Thank you very much for your precious help and thanks also to Functioner for his help also !
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
Don't install any custom ROMs on it when the factory one works fine. You can only cause problems with it.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xristos1925:
Thank you very much ! If I want to root it how can I do that ? For example unistalling eon packages instead of disabling them, would me much of the difference? Or it's not worth the time ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
Probably by using Magisk and patching boot.img but I'm not familiar with the procedure. I don't think it's worth the time.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] xristos1925:
Thank you ! Also do you know if it restore to factory settings option can be hidden from the settings ? I don't want this option to be visible so someone may press it and restore to factory settings and then eon screen would come up again.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
I don't think it's possible.

Hello friends, I've read the whole threat, but don't understand in the end if uninstall the EON packages and factory reset the box will this packages reappear?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tasous:
I was struggling for many hours trying to connect through UART and the problem was the baud rate. In many forums they state that the speed must be 115200. Finally I got it! The correct speed for S905x4 is 921600.

I disabled the mentioned packages and the box is working perfectly now.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
Did you try to uninstall the packages? In my experience they can only be disabled, not uninstalled.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] tasous:
No I didn't. You can uninstall a package using the command:

From ADB:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.DELETE -d package:<your app package>

From UART:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 NameOfPackage

But it makes no difference. If you try to factory reset the device all the packages will be there again and you will have to repeat the process from the beginning.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
Yes. You can only disable or uninstall them for user 0.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to enable USB debugging mode in EON stb while it is in EON activation screen?

Thanks a lot.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] makis16:
The question has as follows:

I am trying to deactivate all EON applications in ΕΟΝ box in order to use it as a standard Android box.

In order to connect with the box do i have to activate the developer options for USB connection or i will have to connect through the serial pins on the box port using a USB to serial adapter? (using a ttl serial uart connection)

Thanks a lot!
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nikos92:
Same here. If anyone could help us too, thank you.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] socioan:
go to

press ok 8 times

you should get a message that now you are a developers

go back

scroll down and find developer setting

enable usb debugging
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
That's not possible if the box is stuck on EON activation screen.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] socioan:
in activation screen

just press the home button and you have access
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
You don't understand. It doesn't work on boxes which have not been activated by the company.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Correct ;)

On the other hand somtimes EON providers offer 1 month free / trial activation/subscription. This is your chance:cool:
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] socioan:
I have the eon tv box sdstb02 and is not activated. When i open it after boot is show the serial number and the code to give to provider to activated. Then i press the home button and i have access to menu
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
Many others have reported that this is not possible. Pressing the "home " button does not help.

I do not own such a TVbox, so I do not have a personal experience, but many other users reported that home button, does not help. Probably you have an older version of the firmware? Maybe EON updated the firmware and blocked that option?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
EON activation screen on boxes which have never been activated by the provider cannot be bypassed using the remote.

EON activation screen on boxes which were activated by the provider can be bypassed even if the service was later deactivated unless the box was factory reset.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nikos92:
That's true.

My subscription was over, I kept the box and still, I was able to use other apps (YouTube, etc).

Then, I did a factory reset and it stuck on the EON activation screen, with no bypassing button from the remote controller.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] socioan:
i had to delete the video. sorry
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kalehrl:
That's normal. Home button works as long as you don't reset your box.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
I guess you can get rid of the initial EON screen now that you have access to all menus. Contact by private message to @Nikos92 who knows what exactly you must do. You can even write in your mother language, since you are from the same country. I know too, but better pm to Nikos. Καλή επιτυχία.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Nikos92:
Well, I'd be glad to help, although I made the silliest decision, to reset it. It was quite fine when the box was functional, even like that, i.e. with the EON screen on display.

My problem was, that I wanted to be able to download Netflix and the EON App from play store, as if I had a conventional smartbox (because the provider had them locked on EON box).

Feel free to contact me, I hope we can find a solution to everyone :)

How to do that can u explain me i dont have eon activatio sory my english is bad i am from serbia
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] ath156:
If you have done a factory reset, forget it !!!! You must find a way to officially activate it......i.e. find a promotional 1 month free offer from your provider (providers do offer this sometimes)

I have two brand new moto 5g 2022 phones for me and my wife and they both do everything but work right. You can call someone and they answer but you cannot hear them, as they answer their phone, my phone just keeps ringing while they keep saying hello. Other times it calls and won't even ring.They do all kinds of different things and sometimes even do work but when they do you can hardly hear each other. I should say we got these phones because our old phones did almost the same thing. They were so old they only got 2g and 3g so we upgraded to these. Also I checked the 5g map and it shows we have 5g ultra coverage in my area, also attached the file showing the area.

Thank you for anyone that can help with this problem.

Is this only happening at home? while connected to wifi?

If so try disabling wifi calling.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] woody@73:
No it happens everywhere. The phone is on cellular preferred.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] woody@73:
I disabled wifi and same result. I have also rebooted both phones and disabled some apps that were transferred from the other phones.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] wickedxjay:
That's crazy because ever since ive had my 2021 version of the phone, the EXACT same issues have occurred since day one. got the phone in Nov 2021 and still have so many issues with Tmobile towers. Tmobile has a huge handover issue with 5g SA and NSA. Old sprint towers that are still up and running on LTE only, work 100% with no issues, all other towers by 310260 that are configured for CA (carrier aggregation), whether its fdd or tdd ca doesnt matter, I have to airplane mode off then on, wait for the tower to connect, turn off data, wait 5 or so secs and turn data back on, go to the debug menu for the phone *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information, go down to where it says Ping Test and hit it, make sure that BOTH ipv4 and ipv6 are passing the test. If only ipv6 is passing, then repeat the process until they both connect. This is the only way im able to tell if the tunnel is connected correctly to Tmo. I know HUGE pain in the A but that is the ONLY resolution i have found for this, tmo doesnt care, i have had 20+ tickets opened up and not 1 of them were ever resolved and instantly closed the tkt.

People have claimed that after rooting the phone and installing a custom rom with android 12, that all of the issues are resolved, however I am one of the unlucky people with the xt2131-1 device that will not allow anything other than the stock rom to be installed, bootloader unlocked and rooted but will not allow a custom rom. Last Moto phone I am ever buying.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] woody@73:
Thank you for the info, I thought it might be t-mobil itself since the old ones and the new ones are doing the same thing. I did get the one phone to upgrade to android 13 but the other one which is the same phone will not. It still did not make any difference.

You Should try a better flash rom

Just Flash with a different ROM there are many to choose from but make sure you get the right radio ROM depending on score, if it is one that looks like it has been successful then try that one but do plenty of research and DO NOT FLASH WITH THE WRONG ROM MAKE SURE IT IS THE RIGHT MODEL PHONE

Bugger, I forgot about the different CPU's used in the variations of Samsung phones.

Do you know why the SM-N970U isn't receiving security updates? I had a SM-N970U1 before that and it's latest security update was 1st May 2023. When checking on the SM-N970U it's latest security update is shown as 1st January 2022.

SM-N970U1 is open USA model, SM-N970U is Sprint USA model (maybe they didn't pay for longer support).

Google Photos used to have an unlimited storage if you chose to have the image optimised. But they stopped this, so you now have to pay for more storage if you need it.

A word of caution on installing Pixelify on a Pixel device.....

I've spoken with at least 3 other Pixel users where a lot of their "Pixel" experience was messed up because of installing that module -- where they were only installing it for the Google Photos mod -- although that was in Feb. or Mar. and there was no independent "submodule" at the time so things may have changed -- but, IIRC, the members were still having issues even after uninstalling/removing the module....

Balti/Baltiapps version/fork works perfectly and as intended enough that, just as roirraW "edor" ehT's reasoning on sticking with platform-tools r33 where "if it ain't broke...", I would stick with that until/unless it stops working....
