Can anyone advise of how to locate the vendor folder on Android TV Boxes? I would like to export a file in the same folder so even after a clean wipe up those files remain there.
Also what will be the best way to connect the boxes with Windows laptop and transfer the files to Vendor folder? Is there any particular tool or will it be drag and drop into the folder?
Apologies being a naive and thanks for all your support.

I can't copy or move files stored in device ROM.
I've tried with Resco Explorer and Total Commander, but without success.
I didn't understand if there's a registry hack that allows these operations.
I've notice (or so it seemed to me) that I was able to substitute/copy/move some files having the ROM attribute, but many others not (eg: I've tried to copy the nleddrvr_sec.dll, obviously without success, otherwise I'd post this here!).
Surfing in many forums, I read many others asking for the same thing, unfortunately I haven't seen answers to their question about this.
Hope someone explains to me how to do or why is impossible to do.

You can not copy / move / delete files in ROM. Thats the point of "Read Only Memory"
These files are not stored as individual files but are in fact packed in a special way as part of the device image which can only be written (flashed) by special tools.
If you want to extract OS files you need to use a ROM dump tool.
I suggest you look in the WiKi.
What you can do is overwrite one or more "ROM files". What will happen in reality is that a copy of the file with the same name will be placed in storage memory and the system will go there. If you hard reset your device or rename the file it will go back to the original file.

As you said here and here (Changing Files in Windows Dir )
it's impossible to move/copy ROM files, just overwrite 'em.
Doing so the system looking for these overwritten copies.
So now the question are:
- there's a registry entry that points to this substitute ROM files?
- to modify an existent file resident in ROM I MUST dump my ROM or another one same or similar?
Mersì bo q, anyway.

Hi,
I have a question. I want to look at my apps on ubuntu and have installed the android sdk and can get it to boot. However, i cannot install any applications on it. I downloaded a system.img which I think I need to move to the .android folder and specifically into that avd folder.
However, where do I find this folder in ubuntu? I know where it is put for windows and can do it on a windows operating machine.
Thanks for the help
In nautilus (the file manager) click on view > show hidden files. This will allow you to see all the hidden directories. In linux, directories that being with a "." are hidden.
I have a .nbo file with me on my pc and i want to extract the contents to my computer so that i can use specific apps included in it. Is there any way by which i can extract these files directly to any folder on my computer. I tried looking for various options on the net but nothing worked out. Can anyone help in explaining me how to do it...???
When windows phone installs and uninstalls an app, is there a file that writes the app info into? My HTC HD7 in unlocked, and I can copy my app directories to my pc, but when I copy them back to my htc hd7 it doesnt recongnize them. or is there a way I can rexap the apps on my pc and redeploy them onto my phone? Any ideas?
Try entering a zip file the files included in the application folder (not the folder directly but only its contents. The folder is the one with the ID of the program) and rename this zip file in xap. Then try installing the xap.
P. S. Unfortunately I have my WP in my hands because it is being repaired and can not remember the name of the three folders in the folder "\ applications".
To be more precise, could you, please, remember the name of the three folders in the folder "\ applications"?

applications\data\isolated storage is the one your looking for
applications\install has the actual program, some times you need to poke about in there rather than data, but most of the time, if its user data related it is under data.
I was looking for this path "applications \ install".
I think it should be enough to create one xap with the files in the folder "applications \ install \ <app ID>".
I repeat that to create the xap, just put the files in that path into a xap file to then be able to reinstall it.
Obviously if you want to make a backup of saves and settings, you can see the folders dell'isolated storage.
Hello... I have an issue that I hope some one can assist me with.
Synopsis: Dropped my galaxy s6 to the point that the screen no longer functions. It is just black. So I am unable to to do anything. There are files in a folder that I hid by adding a '.' to the front of the file name. So those files are still hidden. When I access the directories via usb on my laptop and copy the folder where the files are, the hidden files are not copied.
the phone does not have USB debugging turned on...
Is there anyway for me to retrieve these files?
thank you in advance...

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
About your problem, on windows before copying your files you should first unhide the hidden files in the folder options.
If you are on Linux instead you should make CTRL + H in order to unhide the files.
Hope that's help
Regards

Thank you for your response. I am running windows 8.1 and I am able to see the NON hidden files and directories when I connect the phone to the laptop via usb. I see the files by going to windows explorer. However the windows "Show Hidden Files" option under "folder options", does not show the android files I am hoping to UNHIDE.
Normally I would access the files on the phone, by using the phones "show hidden files" option. However that possibility is removed because the screen on the phone is completely unresponsive.

Hi again, well that's not possible, a hidden file is a hidden file and there aren't more types of hidden files (as i know), keep also the possibility that maybe the files are no more or the File manager which you used on the SG6 to hide the files are available only through that file manager. It is really hard to work with the phone if the screen is not responding (broken)
