hi all, i know this is a developers' community but it's also a unique source of information on related matters so inevitably here i am (an end user)
system:
pc: windows 7 x64 pro os
phone: samsung gts-5300 (galaxy pocket), android os (gingerbread xxlj4), ('rooted' following these instructions)
question:
is there a way to be able to manipulate files in the phone through usb cable with a windows program (like a file manager)?
or at least can it be done using console commands?
note that by 'files' i mean android os files too
the issues:
'rooting' that phone does not actually grant root access to the system files but merely grants access to the su app and a glimpse of the system files
so yes we say it's 'rooted' but you can't actually pull any system file to a windows folder for example bcz you don't have the permissions required
i have installed numerous applications, on the pc and the phone, android sdk, android commander, qtadb, droid explorer, adb insecure, rom manager so i suppose that if someone gives me a set of steps i could hopefully quickly reply the problem that comes up on each step (obviously i don't think there is a quick solution to this, i know im an optimist...)
as far as i can understand, adb insecure should be the solution to this problem for similar devices where 'rooting' is not actually rooting, but im having the already mentioned and i suppose resolved issue of it causing the usb debugging mode to go off, and the problem is noone in the related thread actually mentions how that problem is overcome
thnx for your time
Hi All
I have my android box that is very restricted, I cant add any apk, I cant even add a google account it just crashes, File browser is not available EVEN internet browser, only four applications showing: ATN iptv, Dev Tools, Music, Download (which is empty), and Settings. I can reset the device to factory but it will come back exactly the same. I can use toothpick button but it will give an image of (Android with error sign) then will continue as normal to home screen. it run jelly bean firmware. 4.2.2 build number ATN-1.0.6 2016-09-26 242441.
What can I do now? I need to be able to add any apk package I like, when I connect USB stick nothing happens...

Does debug usb work? Or something like Fastboot/ADB?
I connected the box to the computer with USB cable (both ends the same) but nothing happened. I wish it was as simple as PC, formating and re install Android OS lol.
not sure about Fastboot or ADB.
Unknown source option is ticked, but like I said nothing happens when I insert a USB. cant even download from net or open any browser.
New update received, problem fixed, Thanks guys.

Hi
I have samme ATNbox, (and others called atn gold/platinum) have you tried to use another android version on the box? I am facing same issue, can´t add any app or change Android version.
Could you please tell me what you did to make it work?
Thanks
Need help please
I have an Androide box named ISatPlus, I was subscribed to iptv in 2015 but not anymore.
The box has received an update from ATN and now am not able to install KODI or any other application. The system keep deleting all new application I install.
I cant even install new firmware it fails after few sconds. Anyone can help or suggest a solution?
The CPU is a dual core ARM Cortex-A7, and the platform is BIGFISH???
thank you
hello how can you roast atn boxes?
Thank you
this is an old thread, however, if anyone still interested in reprogramming "most" of the ATN boxes, there is a way to customize it and make it a basic android box which you can use normally with any app, however most ATN receivers are very old and not compatible with newer versions of android, only android 4.x.x depending on the box you have
I. INTRO AND SUMMARY: I decided to experiment with rooting on this phone, which was lying unused. I was successful, using KingoRoot but from a PC (the Android .apk version did not work for me). Below are the details.
II. NOTE ON MODEL: The "BLu Life One" nomenclature does not identify a specific phone since there were several branded with this name, sometimes but not always including extensions to the name like "XL." This guide is for the phone that, under Settings > About Device gives the following information: Model BLU LIFE ONE; Processor Qualcomm Technologies, Inc MSM8916; Android Version 5.0.2 (I had done an OTA update from 4.4.4 at some earlier point); Kernel Version 3.10.49; Build Number LRX22G release-keys; Custom Build Version BLU_X010Q_V11_L_GENERIC 20-01-2016 16:15. This phone is described at gsmarena dot com / blu_life_one_(2015)-6930 dot php with pictures, if you need to make sure.
III. PROCEDURE I FOLLOWED:
PART A: On Android Phone
1. Do a factory reset of the phone (after saving anything you may want from the phone beforehand to a different device, of course). Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
2a. Normally, I would do one more OTA update to get the latest Android version (if there was one) before rooting via Settings > About Device > Wireless Update. However, this crashed consistently and silently. My guess is that BLU changed their update server and the older models can no longer communicate with them, and the OTA update attempt fails (not very gracefully).
2b. When doing the initial setup of the phone coming out of reset, do NOT setup your WiFi yet (otherwise it will automatically try an OTA update and be in an endless loop trying to do so, owing to the problem mentioned above, and your phone will never initialize). Just choose your language and skip all other steps like WiFi, Google account login or setup, etc.
3. Once you have successfully initialized your phone in a clean state, then turn on WiFi and connect to a reliable network.
4. Become a developer on your Android (Settings > About device > Touch "Build Number" 7 times). Turn on USB Debugging (Settings > Developer options > USB Debugging).
5. Go to Settings > Display > Sleep and change to "30 minutes" or "Never" (you can change it back later, but I found the root process would suspend if the phone entered sleep).
6. Open the Play Store, set up your Google Account and download the app Root Checker (Joey Krim version), recommended by KingoRoot to verify that the rooting was successful. You may want to create a separate Google account for this purpose, otherwise if you connect to your primary one, it will attempt to sync your email, calendar, and all sorts of other stuff to your phone from your Google account, which you may not want at this point. Or you can try to disable all sync and all automatic App update from your Google account and Play Store as early in the process as it will let you.
PART B: On PC
** NOTE: You may want to read the section below IV. PROTECTING YOUR PC before doing this part! **
7. Connect your Android to your PC via the USB cable. It may try to download various drivers, some of which may be successful and others not, but don't worry if some driver installations appear to fail--Kingoroot apparently has its own ADB drivers that it installs during the early part of the rooting process.
8. On your PC, go to kingoapp.com (avoid downloading from other sites), and click on the "Download for Windows" link to download kingoroot.exe on your PC (I earlier tried the "Download for Android" link to sideload the KingoRoot.apk file, but this version stalled at 90% and did not work--the Windows version is stated as being more reliable and this turned out to be true for me).
9. Run kingoapp.exe on your PC with your phone connected, and let it install. Uncheck the box "Install Recommended App" when it appears and allow it to run. (The mysterious "Recommended App" turns out to be a sponsored "SuperBattery" App that's pretty useless. If you accidentally allow it to install, you get the option to uninstall it later.)
10. Accept installation of the Kingo Link App over the USB. Google "Play Protect" will try at least twice to warn you about the danger of allowing this, but if you want to root, you need to accept it.
11. The program will prompt you to enable USB Debug mode if you didn't already do it, then will install an ADB driver (which Windows Plug and Play was unable to install successfully in my case). You will then get a prompt on the phone to accept USB connection from the computer with signature specified. Check the box "Always Allow from this Computer" and allow.
12. Finally, the screen "BLU LIFE ONE / Root your Android. Make it more interesting!" screen will appear on the computer with a ROOT button. This means that the drivers installed properly and the KingoRoot PC program is communicating properly with the phone. Press the ROOT button, after unchecking the box "Install recommended app."
13. At various points, Google will ask to "check device activity for security problems, and prevent or warn about potential harm. / Learn more in the Google Settings App," which I always declined.
14. At various points, the phone screen will turn white and then return to the home screen. Finally, the computer should show "ROOT SUCCEED / Would you make a donation to support us?" You can close the PC program at this point.
PART C: On Android Phone
15. Reboot the phone (NOT a Factory Reset, just a simple Reboot). I found the Google Play would not work without this additional reboot.
16. Run the previously downloaded Root Checker App. A prompt from KingoRoot's SuperUser app will appear, asking you if you want to allow Root access to the Root Checker app, to which, of course, you must say "Yes." It should confirm that you have root access.
17. Do NOT uninstall the KingoRoot SuperUser App, otherwise you will lose root access. (It is possible to replace it with others like SuperSU, but that must be done and run FIRST, before uninstalling KingoRoot's SuperUser. I did not bother with replacing KingoRoot's SuperUser with another.)
IV. PROTECTING YOUR PC
Since I'm wary of installing software on my PC from sources that are by definition hacking sources, I took the following steps to protect my PC and it's data. You may wish to do the same, even though I have not read reports of KingoRoot, if downloaded from it's official site, containing Malware or covertly installed Adware. It IS suspicious, however, that the ADB driver installed by KingoRoot advertises itself as "Name: Google, Inc., Publisher: Finger Power Technology Co., Ltd." Clearly naming the driver "Google, Inc." is a way to reassure people who see the name "Google, Inc." on the screen without realizing that it's not in the "Publisher" field--one wonders why they would bother with this deception if there weren't an ulterior motive behind it.
1. I used an old netbook PC for the rooting, with no important data on it. I did NOT use my primary PC with my important data.
2. I ran the program under a non-administrative username. Of course, I had to provide an administrator password at two points, but at least I knew each time that administrative access was being requested.
3. I uninstalled the KingoRoot program from the PC after I was done with it and deleted the downloaded executable installation file, and confirmed that the installation folder was deleted as well.
4. Lastly, I did a system Restore to a point earlier than my installation of the KingoRoot program (you may want to create a Restore Point for this purpose beforehand), so that any other system files accidentally or intentionally corrupted or installed by KingRoot would also be restored to their original state or removed. Note that while System Restore often uninstalls programs that were installed after the Restore Point you go back to, it did NOT do so for KingoRoot.
Hello Guys,
I have a Hilti Laser PD-C device that runs:
android: 4.1.2
build: sparky_silver_2.3.15
I want to note that all apps should be arm not x86 but Im not sure of the DPI.
This runs a special modified Hilti rom. I would love to be able to get a custom rom and add more apps. I am willing to toss some donations for this. Has anyone done anything with this device before?
**** Update: ****
I was able to get root access via PC version "KING_ROOT"
http://king.myapp.com/myapp/Kingroot/kingroot_pc/KingRoot_pc_en.exe
1. I downloaded the most current sdk for ADB
2. I also downloaded the Hilti update app.
www.hilti.com/updatepdc
3. I was able to use King_Root even while the app didnt see the device and it recognized the device after I clicked connect.
4. The main ROM is very difficult to get around. You cant just click an app you side-loaded. Download a launcher that matches the android version. I used smart launcher, no reason, just the first I found. Use ADB to sideload on to the device.
(adb install "app name") https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/smart...1-build-054-android-apk-download/#description
5. From here I got full control to the apps I sideloaded. I am still having issues with connecting to BT on my note9 for the internet.
It is what it is... But thanks for the help. I hope anyone else looking finds this.

Hi,
I'm still using CD Receiver XC-HM82. There is a dedicated, quite old, application Control App which Pioneer released some time ago. After installing the app, when a CD receiver is discovered the app unfortunately downloads some data needed for managing this particular model.
Recently I reinstalled android system and when I try downloading those data it says "download failed". The reason might be that there are some issues on Pioneer server side or they've simply stopped supporting this device.
I have still one phone where this application is fully installed and working fine. I think that the data (downloaded from Pioneer servers to manage XC-HM82) are being store at: /data/user/0. However, I haven't rooted this phone.
The question. How can I retrieve data from /data/user/0 and what's maybe even more important can I create APK which will include all data needed for managing XC-HM-82 so I could still use this application to manage my CD receiver?
Thanks for any tips
I'll answer to my own post for users who might use it.
1.Turn on Developers option in your phone
2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging as Root or Root via ADB
3. Check all aps you have installed
adb shell pm list packages -f -3
4. To backup base apk (in my case)
adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-PIpLM2ikeE7WRs7X2TlOFg==/base.apk pioneer.apk
5. To backup data of the application (including packet for controlling particular model)
adb backup -f pioneer.adb -apk jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp
Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android
6. You should received two files: pioneer.apk and pioneer.adb
7. To restore base apk (in my case)
adb install pioneer.apk
8. To restore data of your app (in my case)
adb restore pioneer.adb
Please note: you'll have to accept this action in Android
Eventually, you should have a feel backup of you app with data folder.
This procedure has been created based on this source page:

Gregory, thank you very much for your post!
First of all, I learned that I could stop checking my home network/router/settings etc.. to find the cause of the failing download.
I have the bluray player Pioneer MCS-FS232, with the controlapp working on my tablet.
I want to transfer the app to my phone.
I followed your steps:
Pulled the apk and backed up the data
I re-installed the app with adb install, and I restored the data with the commands above. Device report success after restoring data.
Unfortunately the app persists in asking for a download (also after restarting device). I tried also on another device, same result.
Could it be that the data restore command do need more specifications?
Thanks in advance for your reply...
Ptr
PS: the full command for step 4 would be (in my case)
adb pull /data/app/jp.pioneer.avsoft.android.controlapp-HjWUmVnui7FpTk0qKpQ3Ow==/base.apk pioneer.apk
you might want to add
adb pull
to your text in step 4
Thanks PtKt for your post and correction regarding "adb pull" missing.
There's no problem with base apk:
Pioneer ControlApp for Android - APK Download
Download Pioneer ControlApp apk 4.1.0 for Android. ControlApp is an application for corresponding Pioneer Products control.
apkpure.com
The thing is the data files (downloaded from Pioneer servers when it was still possible). What's the version of system: on a tablet and phone?
Recently, I realized that this method works on Android 9-11 but not on Android 7 cause there's a different folder structure. It recognized CD receiver but crashes when trying to connect to it.
Hello Gregory,
1. first tried it on my phone (where I had the app, but deleted it ( ). Android 11. This is the taarget-device. Not rooted. APK file installed with adb succesfully
2. when this did not work I tried on a tablet (rooted Asus transformer tf701t with timduru android 7). installed APK, date reports succes, but no working app.
3. device where the app works is Huawei tablet with android 10 (not rooted)
4. My computer is an old IMAC with Ununtu 20.4 lts
I tried to open the pioneer adb file, only partly accessible and only 5 lines.
I checked Androi/data/jp.pioneer.avsoft (etc), on my android 7 tablet, there is a map ' files' but without files.
tbc, Ptr
I'm not so advanced in this matter, but up to Android Version it's about folder /data/data/jp.pioneer... (and so on). You can't access it without root. Maybe you can do that via TWRP on Android 7 on later version it's an issue in easy way. Other solution is to use Magisk to manually copy needed files.
I'm not sure if referring to the system version different files were downloaded from Pioneer's serves. Unfortunately, I don't know.

Aiai.... after a few days of efforts my conclusion was that you need root access to your source device.
And then I re-read your solution and I saw that I overlooked the last part of point 2 of your solution....
"2. If you use Lineage OS allow Debugging or Root via ADB." I did allow USB debugging but I missed 'as Root or Root via ADB'
OK, it is a pity, I'm not going to root my Android 10 tablet where the working app lives. Meanwhile I learned a lot and that's always fun....
Thank you very much for your work, if I come across another solution I will report here.
Ptr
Great. You're very welcome.
Hi guys. I have problem with this Control App from Pioneer too.
On my Android 11 phone is after starting the app visible only the loading screen or a black screen and nothing happend more.
On the old tablet with Android 5 run this app, but it want to download more files from the server, but that is not possible yet beacuse of severs shutdown? (it works well two months ago).
Can you please give me a advice how to run this app on Android 11 and share the downloaded files for my Android 5 tablet.
Because of this is using of my XC-HM72 very limited.
Thank your for every advice (My devices are not rootet).

Hiya,
You won't download needed files (graphics or some scripts customized particularly for your XC- HM72) because there are no files on Pioneer's servers, anymore. If you don't have any device with fully working app you have to ask anyone who has it still working to export needed files (usually as "adb" file) for you then you just import it by a command:
adb restore exported_file_name.adb

and that's all.
Nevertheless, since Android 8 I think that the folder with user data files has a different location, so mentioned method should work for Android 8 - 11 (I haven't tested it on 12). That's all what I can suggest you.
gregory_cooky could you please share you date with adb file?Thank you

Thank you for the file, but still without success. I tried adb restore pioneer.adb and on my android 5 tablet and still want to download files from innactive servers. The same I have done on my phone with android 12 and there is still the freeze or black screen :-( What now? Thanks

I'm not much surprised about Android 5 cause it mightn't work. Unfortunately, I don't have any other news for you. I'm not even sure if my files were suitable for the model of yours. Further steps you should do by yourself. Maybe you'll find a solution and provide it for someone else who has the same CD Receiver as yours.
I've spend a lot of time trying to run the app for my old, but still well performing XC-HM71.
Luckily I've found old Titanium Backup (playstore) backups from 2015 and 2017. I successfully restored the app and settings on my forgotten redmi note 3 pro as root and old android were needed. If anyone is interested and want to try again, both backups are attached. Older app version is 3.5.0, never is 4.1.0. I'll recommend to start with older version, then restore just the newer app without data. It worked for me. Good luck.
But I've remembered the app a bit differently. Seems to be a bit useless, same can be done with remote itself.
Its just a bit faster to add internet radio stations, as browsing on unit itself is a bit pain in the backside.
XC-HM71 is a base version, no Bluetooth, Spotify or other currently standard addons, so really the Pioneer app do not have any real advantages.
Btw, I've had no luck with adb files from @gregory_cooky.
How to control my vsx 527 with control app? Can someone please help
Hi
I need files for Pioneer XC-HM81.
Can someone please help.
Good news!
I finally managed to transfer the needed Pioneer ControlApp data from my -non rooted- tablet (Huawei M5, android 10) to my -also non rooted- telephone (Samsung Galaxy A40, Android 11), based on gregory_cooky’s procedure in post 2 of this thread.
I tried it half a year ago (see above, my post 3) and gave up.
But a renewed attempt this week, learned me that I overlooked a crucial element: both devices need to have “USB debugging enabled” to operate the adb commands from my computer successfully.
Obviously, I misinterpreted step 2 in gregory_cooky’s procedure.
After enabling ‘developers option’ on both devices, you need to go to enable USB debuging . Without that, your devices are only partly accessible from your computer and adb commands will give error messages.
In detail: go to settings, scroll down towards about tablet or info telephone, look for software and then ‘buildnumber . Tap 7 times on buildnumber. this activates developers option. Go back to settings, you can now find developers option as the last point under settings. Tap developers option, enable it, look then for USB debugging and enable it. Do this on both devices.
Connect your source device (=device with a working ControlApp) to your computer. Open a terminal screen on your computer and type adb devices.
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
P15YC3E10080000000007FC1881C0 device
Then proceed as described by gregory_cooky in post 2.
Be sure to have your source files (ControlApp apk and data) in the root of your home directory, otherwise adb cannot find it. Be aware this type of commands is capital sensitive, so if you ask for Pioneer.adb but the name of the file is pioneer.adb the computer comes with No such file or directory.
I use the ControlApp for my Pioneer MCS-FS232, which I can now easily operate from my arm chair. Volume, switch from CD to Aux or FM, etc.
Peter
It appears ControlApp has finally given up.
Looking if anyone has perhaps a copy of the source files.
ControlApp downloads the files from the following URL: http://www.pioneer.eu/files/support/Wr5Ch9makajA/smartphone_app/common/controlapp/sma/SmaHtml_14.zip
Note that this is a HTTP URL, so can easily be faked for the device, however need the ZIP. Used to have it, now it's gone
hello,
would anyone have a working adb for Pioneer X-HM72 please?
