First hardware steps for new ROM - NAND Backup - Android

Hi,
I have a AN6B01 based Cortex A8 android car radio and i want to create custom rom for this device. I am software developer and i have electronics knowledge.
Firstly i want to backup nand but this device has not usb port for connecting to PC. It has usb host ports for connecting modem, wifi, etc.
I rooted device but there is not a supported nand backup software. I tried wifi adb and similar apps but no luck.
I disassembled device and investigated circuit. There is usb hub chip and all usb ports connected to it (smsc usx2064).
1- If there is a usb port for connecting to PC how can i find it in circuit?
2- I can access nand chip on circuit. How can i backup and restore nand with a reader/writer device in circuit?
3- Is there an another solution for backing up nand and restore (software or hardware solution)?
I can't upload images because i am new user. If you want to see circuit images i can send you.
Thanks,

usb serial in diagnostic

Hi I have just noticed in the nokia diagnostic tool in the bottom right the three dots when pressed gives you settings option and within that option it says usb mode Zune or usb serial with an option to choose which one ... What's this serial in this case ?? Will this allow direct access to hdd and find a way to use as mass storage ? or can we use this to access the cpu or other parts of the phone ?? im not sure were the serial point to yet ...
Probably that would be the way to flash rom.
It seems to be used for reparing the device or OS level software debugging - it won't give you USB Mass storage device....Or it maybe if you found the right driver...from Nokia Engineer. On HTC phones, this can be used for tethering with the right driver.
Serial Ports are the port that were used for Modem and Mouse before USB was invented (COM ports) It is the very basic form of communication port that most device implements - which the chipset on Lumia also emulate Serial Port over USB cable. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port)
Ahhhh ok thanks very much guys
Didn‘t notice that before, I'll poke at it using a serial debugger once I get home, could be some interesting/fun stuff that can be done
In winxp you can load a driver for a system device. maybe at driver level the connection data can be verified. How:
connect in serial mode. it will at first time detect a nokia rm801 or whatever device and ask for a driver. it finds 4 devices.
for the first, the xp system will itself suggest
1) USB Composite Device
2) will not find anything, and show the dialog to go onto internet, search etc.
Don't search and choose the driver to install yourself, with the downmost radiobutton and click next, in the categories go to System Devices, the driver assist will suggest a Compaq Deskpro Thermal Sensor, install this. Will install without error
3) see 2.
4) see 2.
Because it installs a temperature sensor driver, it must be possible to monitor or probe somehow. help?
My guess that will only gain you access to temprature data from the phone.
Have you tried putty and a baudrate of 9600? this is the most common used baudrate, tho It is quite possible they use 16000 instead if the serial connection is ment to handle data transfer.
I've been looking at the schematics for the phone and I can not seem to find out which chip they have used for GPIO. We would probably need to get hold of service level 3 or 4 manuals for Nokia Care (unless someone wants to dissasemble their phone and have a look at the mainboard)
Edit:
After a bit more digging I think I've traced serial to be managed directly by the CPU.
This suggests that it's a purely SW serial console.
I haven't been able to find any details on WP7/7.1/7.5 SW serial.
Worth looking into but I guess would require disassembly of the software?
what is the protocol for example when doing a software update through Zune? It gets into some kind of bootloader mode then too.
can imagine the serial connection is hosted as sw in the phones sw environment when running the mango os. But is the serial mode still fully sw if you boot it? Don't know if you could find anything in the 15 sec of booting to mango
I think the easiest way of figuring out how this is done is to disassemble the .net library that is used in the WP7 update tool.
I will have access to the required tools when I get home. The tool is this one if you want to get cracking on it:

Install the USB driver:

Edit:
If your computer doesn't see that something has been plugged in at all, you might want to check your USB cable, and check to see if other devices connect properly using that port and cable.

Roadstar RD9200U - sec_smdkv210 - Can't backup current OS image

Hi,
I am software developer. I have a Roadstar RD9200U car stereo and i want to modify os, apps or develop new apps. I rooted device with z4root but before starting i want to backup currently running os. If i make mistake i want to restore original os. CWM and TWRP are not supported this device and i can't backup current os. How can i get os image and restore? Below is my device info.
There is not a usb connector for PC but two usb hosts. I can connect with adb over wifi. If i push eject and power button while power off i think the device is searching image from sdcard and then power off. ADB backup command is not working it says that "closed".
Thanks,

[CLOSED] usb not recognized problem

Hello, I'm facing this problem from many years in my phone, i can't plug in my mate 10 to any pc, it always says usb not recognized,
all drivers installed correcly with hisuite , my cable usb is new,
i changed today the USB charging port of the phone at Huawei care service, and i reset factory the phone , still same problem.
I'm still having the same stock rom on the device,
is the "usb not recognized" problem can be a software problem in the phone? thank you for your experience.

I'll try to help you but I'm not an expert, and yet I've had EVERY problem you seem to be speaking about.
a. I have had broken USB ports
b. I have had broken USB cables
c. I have had the USB drivers not install on Windows
etc.
Given I've had some of the same problems, I feel for you, so my first advice is to simply give up on USB for everything that you can.
Specifically, if you can turn on USB debugging and Wireless debugging in the Developer options, you can operate the phone over Wi-Fi using the Windows monitor, keyboard and mouse as shown in my screenshots below.
You don't need anything installed on Android to use these FOSS solutions on Windows to operate the entire phone over Wi-Fi as of Android 12 (which eliminated the need for an initial USB connection to establish the Wi-Fi connection).
In summary, I have had similar problems with USB where I've given up on USB and switched to operating Android over Wi-Fi and even mounting the entire Android file system as a Windows drive letter over Wi-Fi using free software.
a. adb
b. scrcpy
c. vysor
d. webdav
Use Windows Event Viewer to check for error messages on the PC.
If the problem is the PC it will likely show up there and give you more troubleshooting clues.
