Hi folks, I'm new to playing with Android & have a Motorola Xoom here, but I'm kinda stumped by what I'm seeing right now.
First off, I've unlocked my Xoom (WiFi model), put the ClockworkMod Recovery on & updated to the 1.4.0 Tiamat kernel for Xoom WiFi. I'll note that I did it the manual way with adb and not by having ClockworkMod Recovery update from a ZIP, because I was having troubles getting the file to the device.
Well now I have a Xoom tablet that sees networks in the area and only connects to my secured network with the correct password, but when I try to do any network activity from an Android app (tried web browser, market, and youtube), data doesn't appear to move, kinda like it's stuck on DNS - but even if I try a direct IP, data doesn't move.
I've been searching but haven't (yet) run across any hints about what to check... I'm really open to suggestions now - and thanks in advance!
you can try re-pushing the modules through adb or maybe run tiamat 1.4.0 from recovery with .zip file. its real easy to goof things in adb.
Thanks for the response jase!
Well I had tried manually reloading (aka the pre-ClockworkMod method) a number, and when I would adb shell back to the device, it could ping out to other devices & I could ping it from other devices, so the wifi driver was loaded. It's just that nothing could resolve a DNS name, and I couldn't even browse to a local server by IP address in the browser.
I don't have an SD card (yet) and I haven't seen nor discovered another way to download the .zip into ClockworkModRecovery to install it that way. When I try to use the CMR's option to mount the SDcard on my computer, my computer doesn't see the tablet at all - not as an ADB, fastboot, nor mass storage device. A pointer to a good thread with information on using CMR would be appreciated!
I've read that Motorola doesn't supply drivers for Linux. As a result, I can't mount my phone when connecting through USB, and the only way I have to view its files from the computer is by opening an adb shell.
I'd like to see and manage my phone files in a proper visual file manager in my computer. Is there any solution to this that doesn't involve a network connection?
I tried through bluetooth too, unsuccessfully.

Hi, I have successfully installed Kali Linux on my LG G3 using Linux Deploy and VNC viewer. I am successfully able to use everything, but I am relatively new to Linux. Still, I was able to switch to root in the terminal. I also tried creating a new account, giving it root access, and then switching to it, which I was able to do, again only in the terminal. However, even if I had root access in the terminal (confirmed by "whoami"), it seemed that I did not have any other root privileges. For example, everything, including the desktop, was read only. I tried switching users using the gui and that did not work at all. I also tried to open the root folder under computer and I wasn't able to do that either. I have tried changing the preferences in linux deploy to log me in as username "root," but I think even then I am logged in as a user that is named root... not the actual root administrator. If anyone could offer some guidance with this situation that would be great. I have spent a lot of time searching google and more to find the solution to this problem, but I haven't had any success. Thanks in advance.
I'd also like to add that some normal commands were not accessible in the terminal even though it said that I had root privileges. Therefore, I could not get done what I would like to even if I were to do everything in the terminal .

I'm working on an ADB port which allows ADB(client/server) to run directly on Android device.
The app allows you to connect your phone to another Android device via USB OTG and perform some tasks that you normally perform from your PC(that has ADB installed).
For example
- take screenshots
- check logs
- install/remove packages
- check running processes
- push/pull files (also from locations that are not available to regular apps)
- run shell scripts executed as privileged ADB user
- create ADB backups and inspect backup files
- copy apps/APKs between phones
It's still work in progress(even though it's published), and I'm not even sure what features of ADB I should make available through the UI.
I was hoping to get some feedback here.
What are the main issues with UI? (because adb has so many features, I found it extremely hard to pack it into UI that would be intuitive)
What features would you expect from this kind of app?
Should I also embed fastboot, so that users would be able to flash Android from phone to phone?
Is it even worth to work on another one of these apps? (Maybe most people just prefer to always use ADB features directly from PC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you use a local terminal to execute certain commands?

Not sure if I understand what you mean with "local terminal". .. Do you mean a shell spawned from regular app running on your phone?
The point of the app is to perform some privileged tasks that cannot be performed by regular apps on non-rooted phone.
You should be able to perform these tasks without the need to install ADB on your PC, or even without having a pc currently at your hands(e.g., if you're on-the-go).
Additionally, you should be able to perform a lot of these tasks with a couple of taps (instead of typing shell commands).
Is it possible to connect to localhost (127.0.0.1), and issue adb commands to the device running this app?

It's actually doing the opposite.
You issue commands from app to the connected device. The app is running the adb components you are running on your pc.
You connect one device that runs the app to another device that you want to debug. You can connect the devices via Wi-Fi or USB OTG.

I get that is the purpose, I was just curious if it was possible to point at the same device. It would make ADB stuff much simpler when no other devices are available.

If you made adbd listen on specific port before(adb tcpip 5555), then yes, you can issue adb commands from the app to the same device running the app.

No, I don't think you need root. I used it a lot on my non-rooted Nexus 5x and once on an old Asus Zenfone during testing and it was working as expected.
That's great . I was just wondering if there was something like this already out there. Thanks for your efforts and I hope you are prosperous.

I have a question about this app. I have installed it and find a few over internet connections (android box, fire tv) but when i connect my wifes non rooted S9 snapdragon. It asks what i want to use visa otg cable. (Smartswitch ect..)
Maybe the best way to put this is to tell you want i want to do.
I have a rooted note 5 and my wife has a new non rooted S9 from T mobile. The bloatware sucks as i am sure you can imagine. I have read how to remove the bloat with package disabler without root. My issues is i need to make PIP a sister app for package disabler a device owner app. This is done through adb and a few simple commands. My problem to solve my issue is i have no PC in order to use ADB on. I have looked for way to use phone to phone ADB with OTG but never been able to put ADB on my note 5 to use the terminal like from a PC.
Any help would be great thanks.

So you tried to connect your phone (with Bugjaeger installed) to you wife's phone via USB OTG cable? And the phone with Bugjaeger app doesn't detect any ADB device connection (or other dialogs pop up)? Did I understand this correctly?
You might need to temporarily disable the other protocols that Android offers via USB so that there are no other dialogs popping up (on your wife's phone). On my Nexus with Android 8, I can go to Connected devices -> USB and switch it to only "Charge this device" (so PTP or the other stuff is disabled).
In case there is some other app doing stuff with ADB USB devices, you might also need to change your defaults so that Bugjaeger can handle ADB USB devices.
Then you also need to make sure that Developer options are enabled on your wife's phone (and USB debugging of course).
Once you successfully connected and authorized the phone, you should do the following
- In Bugjaeger app switch to Packages tab and click on Add button top right (the button with the plus sign). Then you should pick the package disabler APK. This should install the package to your wife's phone
- Switch back to Commands tab (first tab) and either click on plus button in top right or shell into the device with the floating action button ("<>").
You can then activate the device owner with something like this
Code:
dpm set-device-owner disabler.package.name/.DisablerAdminReceiver
*Note that I don't prefix the command with "adb shell" here
When activating device owner you also need to make sure that there are no other accounts configured on your wifes phone (e.g. google account) because otherwise it probably won't work.
You can also check my blog post where I describe how to activate device owner with Bugjaeger in more detail (at the end of the blog post)

Hope that helps
going to give this a try thanks will post later with results,
Hi, I have a problem and I hope your app can help me.
I am without a PC and I have a tablet without root where I installed the application and a Samsung mobile phone that starts only in download mode, otherwise it gives me the message: Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock
Can I install a rom or a custom recovery with the app? I tried to connect them with the cable but it does not find the device.

I don't have any wear os watch at my hands right now and I can't test it at the moment. Is the APK compatible with the watch? If you're able to establish an adb connection between Bugjaeger and the watch, try to check the "Packages" tab in Bugjaeger app. There's a "+" button in the top toolbar, which allows you to select apk for installing on the target device.
The official docs are showing how to establish ADB connection with the watch - https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/debugging
In Bugjaeger you then need to tap the connect button (plug with a plus sign in top toolbar), type in the IP address of the device, and tap on connect button. Both devices should be connected to the same WiFi network to make this work.
i figured it out!!!! go to packages, press the plus button, install from apps installed on phone. it was soooo easy. i couldnt get adb to work on my pc!! i am so thankful to you for this app!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
