Enabling mirrorlink option - General Questions and Answers

Greetings XDA members.
All the progress I've made so far is based on Q&A from your site, so thank you right from the begining.
So here's what I've managed to do so far, starting with the device details:
LG G8S stock ROM (not rooted and boot loader still locked)
Downloaded Total Commander and accessed the root directory
Found two apk files named MirrorLinkServer,apk (the first in /product/app/mirrorlinkserver/ and the second in /system,/product/app/mirrorlinkserver/) - I'm Adding a screenshot of the search results down below
Installed both apk files (each after a factory reset to avoid duality or any other kind of interference)
Got the same result in both cases - When connecting phone to the cars USB outlet, the USB indicator at the notifications bar start flashing but nothing happens (phone screen or car screen)
When disconnecting - a mirrorlink menu appears showing the apps installed but saying they're not authenticated - I'm Adding a screenshot down below
If I'm trying to hit the back button the phone goes to settings but the mirrorlink menu doesn't show there
If I'm plugging the phone back to the car USB socket the "Connect via USB cable" option is trying to switch on automaticlly but goes back off and on again in an endless loop
Hitting the apps trying to authenticate them is doing nothing at all.
when I'm checking the mirrorlink server app in phones settings - It says under Permissions: "No permissions requested"
I believe that here lies the problem - meaning that if i could grant the mirrolink server the necessary permissions (internet access for authenticating the apps and later on for downloading data for the apps themselves; and location for navigation; and so on) then I think it would've worked.
So my main question is - How can I grant the mirrorlink server app permissions, even though none was requested?
However - If you think that I'm wrong or that I've made a mistake along the way - for instance that the mirrorlink server apk must get system app priviliges and therefore must be in /system/app/ folder - Please let me know
thanks,
Jacob

[Q] Window 7 suddenly freezes

Someone please help
I’ve been using ADB for awhile on my Windows 7 and it use to work perfectly without any problem. However recently, whenever I connect my phone (HTC Desire HD) to my PC, I don’t know why Window suddenly freezes after few minutes (varies between 1 to 7 min) and I have no option but to restart by pulling the plug.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks and any advice/help will be highly appreciated,
USBDview is a free application from the NirSoft range and allow you to not only view the USB devices connected to your PC, and give you valuable information like VendorID, ProductID but also gives the power usage of the USB device. This can be at times good for troubleshooting any USB issues as they maybe power related.

Use it's free and remove all what you see when you use it. Then reboot the system.

[Q] Cant access transformer files on PC

Hi All,
I am struggling to access my transformer files using my PC.
I have used the SDK tools and can get the device ID, so i know that bit works
USB Debugging is on
USB cable is new
I am using ICS Nightlies v24, the latest Gapps and TestyMeh v1.0 kernal
i can access the files in androids file explorer
my issue is odd, i connect my transformer to my pc and i hear the connection tone, it then shows up in my windows explorer (see picture 1). I click on it and it opens (Picture 2). then when i click on any of the files it goes to a blank window, and at the bottom it says "0 files" (Picture 3). if i try to drop a file it says it is going to root of storage and nothing happens (picture 4)
any idea why i cant see them?

Thanks

I have same issue (but not that severe). I nailed it down to the .nomedia flags. Recently, the TF is connected to the PC as a media-device, so I think that .nomedia flag will play its role.
If you have the flag in the root --> whole drive is hidden.
If you have the flag in the root of a folder --> whole folder may appears empty. I just remove the flags to see the contents. But then the multimedia apps make pick up all the junks and add them to their library.
Currently I switch to a wireless connection (using some apps like Samba) to get around.

Samba seems to allow me to access the internal and external SD card, but it isn't the .nomedia issue. I guess this will work for now, but i would still like to get it sorted..........
thanks anyway, anyone else got an ideas?

Can someone help me return this phone to factory settings?

Whenever I try to format to factory settings it says 'No PDP scenario exists!'. I'm not sure if it's normal or if there's even anything wrong with it. I was hoping somebody here could look at these logs:

I've read that thread a few times, there doesn't seem to be much of a solution. However, this post resembles my issues:
I have the same issue & have taken it to Samsung to do the oem flashing twice! Since I first powered the phone up my root folder files were timestamps "Dec 31 2008"!? & other priv app files "1st Jan 1970" this even persists across a re-flash & or factory reset! My local Samsung shop said they haven't got the expertise to offer a solution!... 3 mobile haven't returned my calls for help either! I believe I've managed to figure it out through a huge amount of research & in my case its due to a TROJAN RAT that uses the Bluetooth vulnerabilities to access & gain complete control of the phone & in my case during the initial startup sequence! Its a variety of the Trojan Agent banbra/aka "Black Moon"... it sets up SSH remote access control & it adapts very quickly to any security changes or updates, it has cloud support & i can only copy it out to shared storage to have it detected & removed as Ransomware (by Malwarebytes) but unfortunately the parent files are unaffected. It also encrypts selected files. It can even inject code & is a master manipulator of Web pages with XSS vulnerabilities & it very very infectious. Since this phone was delivered to me I've lost control of all my pc's, laptops,even Linux & my iPhones via Bluetooth or by hijacking the router. Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Due to my router and other systems being affected, running ADB is useless.
I'll pay someone to find a solution, the logs I posted can explain the issue far better than I can. Thanks again.

[APP] Blue2Hotspot - Turn on the hotspot when connected to a Bluetooth device

Blue2Hotspot is a program for automatically turning on an access point (Hotspot) when connected to certain Bluetooch devices.
Languages: English, Russian (translation planned)
It happens that you get tired of doing the same thing and constantly get into the car, look for your phone, turn on the access point, and so on every day. I decided to write a small application to automate these actions. To enable the access point, you need permission - location (I myself think this is nonsense). The program does not write your data or send it anywhere. All other permissions are needed to keep Android from being unloaded from the system.
Some water. Since the parents bought a car and there is a large screen, you can launch the navigator and all sorts of online services, but how to turn on the access point turned out to be more difficult to teach, since a couple of weeks will pass and the call "how to turn on Wi-Fi". And I decided to write a small application.
Instructions
Make pairing with Bluetooth and Wifi device.
Install Blue2Hotspot, give permission.
Make settings and select your Bluetooth device.
Click on the Start service button
That's it, the service will work on this; now, when connected to the device, the access point will turn on.

What is the speed that one can expect?
Thanks for the very useful app, that works very well. I tried a couple of others before finding this that didn't work.
Would it be possible to select multiple BT devices so that it could be used in more than one car?
After using Blue2Hotspot for a couple of weeks I'm an absolute fan of it. Annexhack, you have programmed a really useful program, easy to handle for beginners too. I second the requst from kk131 and add: I'd like to donate a beer to you, let us know how to do. Thanks
Bye for now Fred

PX30 dongle locked down

Hi, maybe somebody can help me a bit, just hope I post in the right forum. I have a C5 wireless dongle with a PX30 (RK3326-S) chip. Problem is, device is working perfectly except, that Google Assistant voice is cut (navi and music works perfectly). I already was in contact with their support, they send me an APK to change the Output from Google Assistant from phone call to music, but also didn't help. By the way, that's was the only APK I could install, all others will fail, see below.
So I wanted to try to install Headunit reloaded but regardless if tried via Play Store or direct, installation fails. That's the same for every other programm I tried (app not installed, regardless if via Play Store or direct).
I then thought, give it a try to disable USB Audio routing in developer options, but it's not possible to enable developer options the standard way. I the read that using "adbon" in factory settings menu should maybe enable Developer options, but when using that, device restarts, but the screen of the car stays blank. When using the root command (*#hct#root#) gives just a "wrong password" error. When using m123456, I can at least enter the additional settings, but that doesn't help here.
So I really would like to have a ROM where I can install my own Apps on, so if somebody could point me in the right direction, it would be great. Following thinks to take into consideration from my point of view:
1. as it's just a Dongle, up to now I only can get a graphical output in the car itself
2. on current ROM not possible to install additional apps (the one I got from manufacture support was the only exception)
3. even if it's possible to install another ROM, as it's not a Head unit, but just a Dongle, I would also need he programms for mirroring to Car screen (also I'm not new to rooting etc, I have no clue about this Dongles) - is this included in the MCU?
This C5 device seems to be sold under different brands, see 2 links below, attached also 3 Fotos from the board and current Software.
