Cant side-load for anything.

Fellow Android enthusiasts,
I seldom post on these boards because of the accurate and spot on instructions usually posted, however, this time I must ask if there is an easier explanation on ow to side load. I tried the ad push method of the settings.db file provided on here however this boot my phone into a continuous boot loop which caused me to wipe the device back to factory. I would like to know if there is a new way or different method of allowing sideloading of apps with the exception of using a program like HTC Sync, Droid Explorer, etc...I would like to enable it in the phone. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You!

First, this should go into the General forum, as it really a question that doesn't have much to do with development.
There is more to this than a simple adb push. What exactly did you do? And in order to use ADB to get this done, you must be rooted properly. How are you rooted?
If you go to the irc channel in my tag, someone will help as they are available.

Understood. Sorry for incorrect post. I am rooted through liberty Rom b003. I connect through Droid explorer and utilize regularly.

Caska Android 4.4.2 2 din

Has anybody managed to root android caska 4.4.2?
Thanks

Anyone?
It says:
mcu: v3.00h7_ca712_f7e1430
kernel: 3.0.36+
android 4.4.2
Thanks

Also looking for a way to root this HU too.

Why don't you just flash Malaysk's ROM? It's easier and the ROM is much smoother than stock.

I've never used Android, I'm a iOS user and very afraid to brick my unit. I just download ROM for 4.4.2 and boot it according to the instructions?
My unit shows:
MCU Version: V3.00F8_CA380_E55B_ECI1455
Build number: D200 Ver2.01 20141228.2309
TCON Version: V6.00_HSD80_EC28e
Many thanks for your help!

I actually tried a Malaysk's rom and It gave me error in the middle of installation. I had to return the original rom. Not quite sure if I used the correct malaysk's rom. I have a rk3066 android. 4.4.2

Hi Guys,
I also have a similar unit. Did you manage to make a backup of current image? I want to upgrade because I have two issue: sometimes the unit doesn't complete the startup and I can't use sygic navigator.

By your username I assume you're brazilian, right?
Where did you buy your unit?
This night I've managed to talk to a Caska sales director for LATAM and he said that they cannot give the stock ROM for security reasons. I still have problems with the clock and the startup also (blank screen). They say their engineering team is working on fixing that issue, but China has a holiday that starts today (Oct 1st.) and only ends Oct 7th. So I'll only have an answer after that day.
Maybe you can talk to your seller and see if he gives any support (I bought mine at www.rcmultimidias.com.br).

Sure I am, you are right.
I bought mine from aliexpress. I found a update.img file in some folder, but I'm not sure if it is the full image. I opened that image in a linux box and looks like we have everything, there some ext4 images, boot image and a lot of other files, but I'm not 100% sure about it. May be somebody with experience could verify that.
Another annoying thing is the music and video apps not reading files from sdcard, they only read USB and inand. I've modified the Music app to point it to the correct path, but I couldn't install it back to the unit (It fails to install without any error). At least if I could reassign music and video buttons to another app, that would be ok (VLC is working fine, just need to adjust volume).

Normally you have to boot in recovery mode, something that I still don't know how to do for this unit, and then use that update.img to restore. See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662, there some possible procedures there and may be one of them work for the caska.
How big is the update.img file they sent to you?

Yeah. I have tried everything but could not boot. It is just a blank screen.
Here you go with the update.img.
https://www.sendspace.com/file/mjkgfj

Here I posted a video with all the problems I'm experiencing with this unit. The main problem is that I cannot setup the right time, so all Android apps are useless (they require a secure connection to their servers and this is only allowed with a valid certificate [that needs the correct date]).
I was trying to root my unit so that I could use ClockSync to fix the time every 30 seconds (it resets after 1 minute), but had no success on that.

Hi!
So, where did you managed to talk to Caska? I've tried contact with Caska Brasil with no success (they say they do not offer support for Android units), and Caska Global didn't give any answer ([email protected]).
I've downloaded your update.img, but it's for CA712 and my unit is a CA380-XLA, I'm afraid to brick it. Have you tried entering recovery mode pressing reset and power buttons the same time?

I can reassign the screen buttons in my unit. In the settings, go to the last menu: "Shortcuts". Not sure if there's a way to reassign the physical buttons without modifying the original ROM.

I'm newbie as well, but I know that you must need possible clue, since you brick your unit. I'm afraid to point you to the wrong direction, but I believe it deserves to try. I saw some threads discussing about the bootloader and connect via USB. Looks like to have to install the usb driver for the rock chip (RK3066, since it is dual core and there is a file RK3066Loader_uboot_upgrade2_4_16gok.bin in the update.img file). I don't have more details on that, but may dig deeper.

I've tried pluggin a USB to the unit and connecting it to my PC with no success, no devices are recognized. I have developer mode active but no options to enable USB Debugging.

So, I was able to extract all APKs from the file danylam hosted, and it's quite different from my unit: I have only one "Settings" menu, and in my unit some essential apps weren't installed (like HBS_Carkit_ChangeLogoUtil.apk and HBS_Carkit_SyncGPSTime.apk). I've installed them and solved one of my problems: car starting with a GMC logo. But the SyncGPSTime.apk isn't being called by any applications, so it's not starting (and I cannot start from itself).
Then I tried installing the Settings.apk that came with the ROM and ended up with a non functional setup menu, unfortunately. Since in that version most settings are changed from the "Android Settings", and I couldn't install that apk (it shows me an unknown error), I've lost some essential menus.

The only way to talk to caska global is using skype (coagent,service). Normally they are online at 9pm (Sao Paulo time).

I found the update.img in my CA712 with a simple search for update.img. I used the file browser and and did the search from / device.

This is the linux tool to open the image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257331
command:
Code:
./imgrepackerrk update.img
It creates a update.img.dump folder and the bin file should be in the update.img.dump/Image
Boot.img is compressed and if you want to see content do this:
Code:
mkdir boot
cd boot
gzip -cd ../boot.img | cpio -i -

Tried searching mine but couldn't find any *.img files. But at least I've managed to uninstall the CA712 settings from my unit and revert to the original one.
Looks like your unit is a little bit different from mine.

MXQPRO RK3228A Help Please

Hello. I have a MXQPRO which has a rockchip in it, a RK3228A. I have lifted the mobo and heatsink to check but cannot see an image attachment on here Is anyone please able to help me root this box. It's currently running out the box fimware, 7.1 android. It's a bare minimal box with 1GB ram and 8GB storage. I'm wondering if I can do anything fancy with it. I'd like it rooted, TWRP possibly and another faster, possibly better ROM on it. I see https://www.atvxperience.com but don't know if it's something it can run. The computer I'm using is running Windows 10. Thank you x

It comes prerooted . Just install any root apk and you will see root works ..just install supersu from Playstore but if you do that Netflix apk will stop working ...there is no custom firmware so pointless to flash twrp

Hello KevMetal the device says root undetected when opening SuperSU. I tried Magisk manager too but that was showing the zip as not being installed even after I tried to manually patch the latest 17.3 on the site. Can I do anything with this box? It is bare minimum resources but its still not bad and could be even better with a better ROM possibly. I have booted into recovery via the pinhole reset button at boot but nothing goes through I only saw joy at the clear cache option. The atv link I posted above says the latest build supports rockchips can I get on that ROM ? Thanks x

install mix explorer file manager ..open it and open "root' section ..you will see a pop screen with strange Chinese lettering ( THAT IS SU PROMPT) figure out which side is "yes' and any other apk like sd maid ( to boost & manage device) ..in mixplorer you can modify "system" like deleting bloat etc ...
magisk is impossible because boot.img is rooted from factory ..so patched ...so no magisk ...i was able to flash an old twrp for Rockchip3229 via flashfire but it's pointless cos it breaks Netflix and we have no custom rom
there is NO the cool Amlogic based roms in atv link will run on our crappy Rockchip based boxes ...I have the 2GB + 8GB Rockchip RK3229 ...So I guess a little bettrr than yours ...

Hello KevMetal. I installed MiXplorer 6.29.20. I did not receive a prompt message when clicking on root it just showed me the section with many files within. Can I install root required apps? I haven't tried SD maid yet.
twrp is such an easy tool. Thank you for the explanation. I did try obtain files via seller or sellers but not many can help. One did send over links for RK3229.

Is there anything I could do to this box? By the way thank you for your help I didn't think I would get much of a response having searched google and got pretty much nothing x

np problem . but i explained to you . the soc ( system on chip ) is the processor . we have the cheapest, less common , 0 developer chip ..ROckchip ( budget Chinese)
of course the ATV looks great but it is a custom but made for an Amlogic chip ...being able to port that to our device would be like saying you are waiting someone to put ios from apple on your Huawei ...just not gonna happen
if mixplorer is opening root and you can see files there and select or copy or paste there YOU HAVE ROOT ..ROOT=access to root filesystem
i will check the firmware but if it is links from manufacturer it is probably just stock in case you need to restore ....so the same but i will look
*i just looked __its the same as stock__it is just in case you need to factory restore your box cos it won't boot so its pointless
just install any apks you want by copy pasting them direct into /system/priv-app folder and delete the ones you don't need to boost your system ..sd maid is great for cleaning you cache and optimising system but you can forget getting something on the level of atv but at least you can delete the Chinese apks or sysyem apks bloat using mixplorer
just focus your attention on getting kodi running well and just leave twrp cos it won't be useful to you .......i mean what do you wanna do with it ? why is it so useful for a tv box ...i will sesrch for the twrp recovery.img i flashed but remember after flashing it and updating "root" supersu your netflix apk won't work anymore so is it really worth it ? for what just to backup up to sd ? personally i would just focus on making box boot direct to kodi ...remove all bloat .with mix root exploree..load kodi to max with plugins and that's the best you gonna get
you are one of 10 guys with this box and nobody will develop custom roms for it . sorry bro

I wanted root, or twrp root installed because of the basic magisk manager app but that was purely because magisk is soon easy to use. I'm not a pro with this so the app you suggested mixplorer is still getting around my head. I probably bar the easy functionality of magisk would have rooted viper4android on.
I did open the box and remove the heatsink of the processor to check for sure and it did say RK3228A. I took a picture but I don't see an upload attachment tab only a link attachment!
I used the box for streaming. Its not bad at all, low resource but it does stream well. Live tele streaming isn't bad but it is hit and miss because of crap software, I don't think its well supported as oppose to playing off a downloadable file. I don't use kodi. Only apps which are lightweight.
I wanted to try different roms for the fun of it really if at all possible. Thanks for the stock image verification its the first port of call when playing around so thanks again in case I mess things up or want to go back
Regarding freaktabs links. Are they all flashed through computer or can I use the built-in system recovery? Will they work. Sorry. I should register there too but like I said above I didn't find much with a google search when attempting to find files etc. for RK3228A so pretty dumbfounded on how to do anything with the box. Any help is much appreciated. I don't know how to do this if I'm honest the connection to PC is playing up not detecting the box at all with or without the power in the box. Any help would be greatly welcomed if I'm honest mate I know its a low resource box but I'm sure something decent could get on it from another chip may be. There isn't a RK3228A section on freaktab.
Regarding atv again. It may be for another rockchip but it says on the site the new release of firmware supports rockchips. Can you find it. And if you download the package it does have a 1gb/8gb version. Maybe for another boz I don't know but maybe for this one.

Regarding atv again. It may be for another rockchip but it says on the site the new release of firmware supports rockchips. Can you find it. And if you download the package it does have a 1gb/8gb version. Maybe for another boz I don't know but maybe for this one.

mmm well i haven't and didn't see anything on atv saying rockchip support ..
you can flash using batchtool in the link you already have or twrp ....what you don't seem to understand is that there is nothing for you to flash ...there are no custom roms for your device .,.you can try "porting" a rom which is to say taking a rom from another box with the same chip as yours and then patch fstab and swapping out ramdisk etc
search "porting" in xda to learn it .if you have atv rom with rockchip support share it with me ...
for now in freaktab they have a section for your chip ..go search for people with your box and try to port roms . i can't help you more
search in xda "porting" to learn how to port rom to your box ......
for basic understanding of root and root access to system folder i explained it well . if you need to know more sesrch xda university to learn information starting from basic beginning.
good luck bro
* one last thing * you have a problem
* your stock rom for restore is RK3229
__you say you have 3228A 100% certain ....
see the problem here ?:silly:

Hello. Thank you for your response it is much appreciated like I said thank you again. It says rockchip support on atv on the main page under the heading [ WE HAVE GONE BEYOND EXPECTATIONS…200K+ installs! ] at the top near the bottom of the paragraph.
I understood you when you said the box itself this exact model holds no support but I was wonder whether you could use another ROM. I will search port thank you.
I didn't see a RK3228 section on freaktab. I will have to post in another section or an open subforum.
Regarding stock firmware sent over. They say, a seller I mean who sent it said it will go on. I'm not sure how true that is being the same for a different chip. They messaged "3228A /3229 is the same . just different name for customers .3228A is for biger" lol

Jajaja, well i don't know in regards to 3228A and 3229 being the same ...if i were the manufacturer I wouldn't bother confusing people with two names
Obviously if the two are the same then obviously roms from both would work .
There is however a BIG section for RK3228 in Freaktab with more stuff than the RK3229 section cos it's older ...if they are the same that would be great news cos you could use stuff from both
We SOT luck regarding finding ready to go 123flash nice custom rom for our type of tv box .....
Could you please post a link to the Rockchip support bit on ATV page .. it's worth it to PM Ricky and asking him if there is ACTUAL working support for RK3228A&RK3229 but the only models I saw listed were Amlogic models in the "good" "popular" but more pricey boxes all starting with 9xx etc....

Hello again Sorry I couldn't see attachment support on my phone. I've now logged onto xda on a PC and I see upload ability. See below for pictures although it's being a bit for me, the attachments sorry if you cannot see them please let me know.
I cannot see the RK3228 section under Rockchips on freaktab. See the first attachment below to see screenshot taken of the rockchip section on freaktab.
And the second attachment is one taken from https://www.atvxperience.com/ homescreen which says rockchip support.

Okay cool will check it out .

Hello KevMetal. Can I use MiXplorer to root an ad blocker? I have tried blockada, stopad, adaway but they don't block in-app ads. Also can you recommend an equalizer? I'm not sure what else I can tune up tbh. Thank you x

I don't know why root isn't working for you ...install supersu ( from playstore)..when it asks to update binary just ignore it ... then open any app that neeeds root and see if a su prompt appears ..
You can use mixplorer to copy any apk into system to make it a system apk or to delete any apk too since you can enter /root/system/ folder even if su prompt doesn't work
adaway won't work
I found the twrp custom recovery and even a custom rom but it's only

Hello KevMetal. I installed SuperSU. When I open the app it says Root undetected then closes. I tried to open it several times but closes again I'm not sure what's going on there. App version 2.82.
Making of a system app. For example viper4android? I tried a normal install but it doesn't install drivers at first boot just stuck on trying to install drivers.
Is there any such in-app ad blocker?
What's the ROM like any good? Would the custom twrp kill anything if I was to install something like viper4android?
Thanks for your help x

Uuuf ...i would recommend trying twrp recovery at your own risk ...you might brick ...if you don't you don't need any custom rom ....just flash supersu .zip and adaway zip then you are good to good ... you can try an adblocker that uses a vpn to block ads ...sound mods like viper might break stuff ...you might get force closes or reboots if the install is a fail but if you are brave enough to risk bricking and flashing twrp you might as well try other package...i didn't try the custom rom but theoretically it comes optimized ..as in all chinese apps renoved ..esfilexpkorer..root & so on ..i think they also improved playback to get better video ..but i have only read about ..like i said from the start the only thing i did was twrp ...install supersu and sdmaid for optimization ..but root broke the Netflix apk and root didn't get me any closer to finding something that lets me use amazon video ..so finally I just restored to get Netflix apk working ( NONE ) of any of the netflix apks I downloaded worked ...only the original that came with the box and it stopped working with root ...so no more questions ..press thanks and flash something and you tell me what happened. :highfive:

Hello KevMetal.
OK I don't want to do anything crap. The box looks to be locked. I'm curious to see what could load up but at the same time cannot be bothered to be honest with the lack of support I should have known better reading of chip support before buying but having said that it is still a nice little box. I have removed a fair bit off the machine stock preinstalled crap and it is running OK.
I am reluctant to ask but having gone through all this chat could I at the very least have a look at the files you mention please? I probably won't do anything because I'm annoyed it isn't well supported but still just to have a look please, thank you x
The optimized ROM was what was appealing to be honest with you. May be on a different box now. I shall read, or at least look to see which is popular. Thank you again x

Hello. Can a lock be put on these MXQPRO. I tried settings, screen lock but it doesn't appear, the lockscreen doesn't appear after being set with a pin.
I haven't bothered loading a ROM. I'm just going to try optimize it as much as possible. Shame.

Hello. I have a MXQPRO which has a rockchip in it, a RK3228A. I have lifted the mobo and heatsink to check but cannot see an image attachment on here Is anyone please able to help me root this box. It's currently running out the box fimware, 7.1 android. It's a bare minimal box with 1GB ram and 8GB storage. I'm wondering if I can do anything fancy with it. I'd like it rooted, TWRP possibly and another faster, possibly better ROM on it. I see https://www.atvxperience.com but don't know if it's something it can run. The computer I'm using is running Windows 10. Thank you x

Hiya mate I think you have a rk3229 chips as they only used 3 chips on this board the AMLogic S905, S905x and RK3229.
https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/?s=Mxq+pro.
your board r329q v3.0 is a mxq 4k rk3229 chip

Hello pcmender2005. The chip itself says RK3228A. Its compatibility is unknown to me. There are pictures of the board here sorry if they are not clear enough I think one of them was uploaded at full image size..

Is there anything I can do with it. Thank you for your response. I find optimized apps for example are smooth running so it was pure optimization was what I was after and in most cases modded ROMs offer that. ATV says of rockchip support but I don't know whether it supports mine and how I could get it on. Again thank you for the response x

Question about locked launcher in Chinese Android HU

Hello all
Today I am fighting with small but irritating problem.
I bough chinese HU and it's launcher is just horrible. Cant make any adjustmens etc. So I tried to install Agama that has been worked perfectly with earlier units that I had. Problem is that I cannot make any new launchers default at any trick.
I have tried and noticed the following:
- Reset apps and click home button (does not work, does not even ask default)
- In setting launcher settings are hidden/missing
- Apps like Launcher Uninstaller see all the lauchers but cant change or uninstall anything
- In the carapp->factory settings (pw 8888)->launcher->only few preinstalled launcher that I can pick but not anything else
I allso tried to root with Kingo Root, it does its job and after restart everything is like it was before (locked bootloader???)
So if anyone can give me any advise I would be very very happy
UNIT:
Ossuret XL6107.20210427.112507
MCU XL6107_V104_20210514_
Android 10
2/32GB
A7 1.3GHz x 4

Kingo root idk if it unlocks the bootloader but have u opened the app and checked if root access it there?

You could use adb to remove the apps you dont need or install a new launcher

I have checked and no root access after many attempts.
I will try adb, I googled it but it's a totally new for me so I need to some studying how to work with it. Thanks for the info

Hi, do you solve the problem?
I'm also trying to change the launcher (same unit).

Use ADB to uninstall it and grant permissions.

I have not yet tried to change it, have been busy. I have tried to learn how to work with ADB but it seems there is so many ways and commands.
Anyone can confirm is this even close if I want to set another launcher main and disable original (If cannot be uninstalled)?
adb shell cmd shortcut get-default-launcher
adb shell cmd package set-home-activity "your.package/.YourLauncherActivity"
adb shell pm disable nameofdefaultlauncher
Thanks

If you remove the default launcher it'll ask you to set a new one.

It's a real pain. I even get no developer access. It's all blocked or hiding. No chance to use ADB :-(
(Sorry for my bad english)

Can you tell me your model and make of the headunit?

hello guys, it looks like this unit is having trouble changing the launcher. I have the same product with the same problem and I am looking for solutions. I also tried an update but it doesn't work. I hope we find a solution.

No, I don't have access.

You can replace stock launcher with root. It is a bit of a process though. Can you share a screenshot of your System Info? Should look something like this.

Thanks for the answer.

I also tried Kingoroot but it doesn't work. I don't think he recognizes it as android because in the end (99%) he tells me to try the pc version.
