I was contacted by a user who discovered a 'secret code' that applies to the FireOS search bar (Unified Search). When you type it into the search bar, you enter retail demo mode.
Code:
;demo
There are several major problems with this once you enter it. One: you can't get out. You can resell the device when you're done, but one of two things happen: On the fire 7: it powers off your device, reboots it and erases it. Then it reboots...into a logo loop. Fire HD 10: When you resell, your screen is blocked by an amazon logo overlay. It just sits there. You can reboot and the overlay remains. You can't disable it through ADB on either of them it doesn't do you any good, because you stay in demo mode. I forgot to mention the countless demo apps it tries to download. This code also worked on the HD 8, but I didn't go past the splash screen. Only way out is a factory reset via recovery.
I got a screen cap of the debugging menu. There is an application version have never seen before. Is this the retail mode application version? If not, what is it? No the device is not registered.
Code:
1.1.906.0-tablet_424010

Yes I think it is the retail demo application (see attached)
In the secure settings table, there is a setting called retail_demo_mode. I once changed the value to 1. The tablet itself worked fine, but most of the settings were missing and all of the app icons on the home screen reset to alphabetical order. All I did to reverse this was go back into Settings Database Editor and change the value to 0. No problems after that, other than my neatly organized apps that got rearranged.

So I had the magical luck of having my S4 fall out of my pocket while closing my car door, shattered to pieces, no touch response from the glass.
The problem is, I had the device locked with a pattern & pin, so I can't just plug in and backup all my photos and stuff that were saved with local device storage. I also can't get adb to connect to the device (with developer options enabled), I always get a "device offline" error (I've updated ADB to the current 4.2.2 version, but I cant whitelist it because I can't allow it from the phone without touch)
Now, I still have root, and I was able to blindly install CWM (the OUDHS-Recovery-jfltespr-1.0.3.3.tar) version with Odin. I'm assuming it went well because I heard the sprint chime on restart.
WHAT I NEED: Is someone to either give me some screenshots (or number of button presses) to enable internal storage to be accessible by usb in cwm (also how to get into it too). I figure if I'm able to use volume presses and the home button I can get to my internal files. Other than this option I'm at a loss before I return it. If anyone can help I would be so damn grateful.
I'll draw you a picture too.
EDIT 1: I have a picture of the main CWM screen from a youtube video here:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now all i need is the mount and storage menu
So nobody can help? I didn't think a cwm menu was that hard to come by with an S4.

Were you able to connect with adb before? Was usb debugging checked in settings before the drop?
If you could get adb to connect, you could use a program like android screencast to view your phones screen on your computer.

That was my first move actually.
Problem is, even though debugging was enabled, I can't whitelist my PC from my phone. This is a new 4.2.2 feature to prevent data theft ironically.
All of these options will just return an "adb: device offline" error when it's connected. Trust me, I wish it was that easy.
You can't connect while in recovery either?
It would be kind of a pain, but you could pull multiple files that way.
Look HERE
I purchased the head unit a few days ago and it was working fine. I attempted to root it after having trouble getting media players to detect the external SD card. The root process failed with a parsing error. Ever since then my bluetooth and WiFi will not work. Bluetooth never connects although my phone sees the device. WiFi sits at "Obtaining IP address" indefinitely. I have tried using the physical reset button on the unit, which reset some settings but did not fix the issue. At this point I think my only option is to factory reset with fresh firmware.
The factory reset under "Extra Settings" doesn't work and just stays at a screen with spinning circle saying its performing the reset and to not turn off the device.
Any help appreciated. I cannot find this firmware version anywhere.
Here is the device info:
Ordered from Amazon
Brand Name: Pupug (arrived in a box labeled Eincar)
Model Number: YH.AN271gn+WFcam3
CPU information: Cortex-A9 dual core
RAM information: DDR3 1GB
Android version: 4.2.2
MCU version: 4.3.11-7-01-690201
System information: 2.9.4_20150316
Device passwords:
Extra Settings: 123456
Developer / User Settings / Factory Reset: 7890

}
I was able to get this working. I downloaded the firmware here:
PHP:
https://yadi.sk/d/5vWew_Z_fWotd
Extracted 2 files to root of SD card, went to settings and ran system update. The unit rebooted and ran the update and rebooted again. I then was able to run the factory reset with the password 7890.
I now have a message across the screen "UI unauthorized please contact supplier".
Does anyone know how to remove the message? The unit is working fine regardless.
Looks like I have to root it to remove the message according to the wiki.
I installed Baiduroot and then SuperSU, but SuperSU installation fails.
I don't know how to boot the device into recovery mode. I've tried holding the home and volume buttons together on startup but nothing happens.
Any advice?

Maybe it's the manufacturer's website, try to contact them:

You are probably better off flashing it to a new rom.
I tried copying them to the sd card but the unit is not updating.. Did you rename the files or what exactly did u do

I have been trying to find a way to reactivate the full options for the lock screen. There is a way to do it with root access, by editing the settings menu...I just haven't found a way to do it yet. With that said, I have found an Activity Launcher that runs with ROOT access and have also installed it into /system/priv-app. In doing so I have been able to find the settings to enable ALL the lock screen lock options. In addition to the PIN number and SLIDE to lock methods, you also get to:
- Enable lock pattern
- Enable lock password
- Disable lock screen
In order to activate these options, you have to be rooted. However, these are items I believe reside somewhere on the Secure Settings level (system, secure or global). Amazon just does a good job of hiding these settings and the launcher application is the only one I have found that is able to access these options. If you don't have root access, you can still visually see the settings fragment. I do believe this feature can be enabled without having a rooted tablet. If the right fragments can be found, the activity could possibly be launched via ADB or ADB shell. It's also possible another activity and intent type launcher can perform these actions.
1. Download, install and open 'Activity Runner' from the play store.
2. Scroll the list until you see 'Settings' and tap on it. Scroll down the list further, until you see the SECOND 'Unlock Selection' item. It will be in listed as red and the fragment/activity/intent below it will say '.ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity'. Tap it.
3. Profit!! :highfive::good::victory: These tablets are so much fun to 'hack.' Thanks again for following everyone! :highfive:

Do you know what the ADB command is?

Not yet. This launcher won't tell me the fragment so without that I can't tell what the intent is aka android:action. I'm going to have to search the source code for this one.

Just ran the unlock method on my 5th gen, installed the revamped Fire OS rom and Magisk. Now trying to remove the lock screen. Got Activity Manager from the above link but cannot find the option for the lock screen (other than the pin/password) and do not see "Unlock Selection". Any ideas? Is it maybe under a different category on this OS?
Thanks for this!

I have just installed a CML-PLAY 8702 and the screen is displaying in reverse, first time I hook up the radio to the car is was displaying the screen normally and after I hooked up the speaker wiring the screen is now displaying in reverse.
I did remove the speaker wires just in case and it is still showing the screen in reverse
I can enter the factory setting but that is all in chinese.

I have managed to get the Developer Options and set Force RTL Layout Direction and switch this off and all it does is move the backwards text to the left.
Is there a build.prop file for this device I looked in internal systems and couldn't find one.

Why do you think there exist update for this tv box?
What you need is custom ROM like this.
[ROM] Aidan ROM [v9] [Netflix] [Prime Video] [Disney+] [S905X-S905W-S912-S905X2-S905Y2-S905X3-S905W4-S922] [Google Play Certified] [ATV 9]

Thank you will try this rom
just tried to flash this rom and everything looked ok but when it boots up is says aidens custom rom then just hangs on a black screen with Android tv on tried to re flash but now it wont connect to my pc ?
guess you need to format userdata (aka factory reset) do you have access to fastboot/bootloader mode or recovery mode?
no tried holding the reset button when powering up but nothing happens
it wont even show anything on the screen now the remote control wont turn it on and off
remote only works on booted android. connect usb to PC and check the VID/PID in device manager (or lsusb linux)
the box wont show anything on screen now and wont connect to pc

think ive done the door stop mod
what is the output of lsusb for every port?
cant get the box to connect to pc nothing happens no sound to say its connected
started device manager with it plugged in but nothing shows up ?
you should at least get to the previous state splash screen as of post #4. did you power off completely? as last resort there is a method with short-circuiting pins for flashing mode. search for AmLogic bricked boxes recovery.
Yes I have tried all ways to connect but nothing on pc or screen
Will try brick recovery
