Hey everyone, Picked up a Logitech Revue (with google TV)
This supposedly cost the company an arm and a leg and flopped, it was discontinued I think in 2012 or 2013..
Anyway ran across one at the junk store for $1 so I picked it up.
I tested it out everything seemed fine, I was running it offline.. tested some music, movies.. no problem.
Side loaded some apps but pretty much everything crashes.. My collection of APK's are drawn from ARM/MIPS
This device runs a Intel Atom so no surprise there.. anyway It had the original owners info on it so after testing I decided to start fresh.. BIG MISTAKE.
I factory reset but when it came back up it demanded to go thru setup.. no way to avoid that I can see.
First it wants net.. well ok, then it wants google login.. errr.. well ok.. then we get to step 7.. acceptance of Logitech license.
We get a error.. I know it's got net access so im assuming logitech has shuffled some things on their end and the device can no longer get a valid response.. since you can't skip setup there is no way to continue and im left with a brick
I searched google but found very little about the device.
Any information, advice, help would be appreciated.
I really just wanted to be able to surf the web, stream music/movies from local network, and maybe find some compatible emulators for games, I think this would have worked just fine for that.
Well no responses yet, but im not surprised, given the obscurity of the device and issue.
I did recieve a response back from Logitech support, Basicly, they admit it's a problem, there is no fix, since support ended for the device you're just S.O.L
So as a warning if you have a Logitech revue and it's working.. DO NOT EVER RESET IT.
"Please note that we can no longer complete the setup for this product once it is reset. No further update is in place for Logitech Revue as this product has been discontinued already. Admittedly, there's no fix available to get around this."
Hopefully someone where can come up with some idea's.. otherwise Im stumped.. can't find much on the net about it.. no modiffied firmwares or anything
I am stuck on step #7 too...
What I can tell you is that it is failing on a call to discovery.logitech.com... That appears to be an IIS / .NET webservices server, it's up and running which makes me think that the endpoint that the logitech server uses has been nuked or some backend db has been shutdown which sends back an error. Can't really tell what the exact URL is as the request is HTTPS, so it doesn't show up on the http proxy.
A port scan shows the following open ports:
Open TCP Port: 5222 jabber-client
Open TCP Port: 5223
Open TCP Port: 9551
Open TCP Port: 9552
Open TCP Port: 45399
None of the ports respond to adb, however 45399 does respond with a http 400 (bad request).
Maybe if we had someone with root who could dump the firmware we could figure out something else to try... :\
Bump?
I really wish I saw this before resetting my revue. It worked great for what I needed. Now it's a paperweight.

You and I, have almost the same history ($1.30) I connected the Revue, triedout and working perfect, but has a Google Account off the previous owner, and I decided to make a factory reset... now see me here... like says @jsmcmahon89... i wish i saw this before making the Factory Reset,
Cheers.

Mine stopped booting so I thought a reset would correct the issue. It boots up now, but I'm also stuck. Boo for planned obsolescence!
Yes, I too having the same issue, my google account got locked, so i was getting error like retry.... then i thought to change the email account after reset, but unfortunately it is not able to change even the email account and not able to pass through step 7 of 11. as you said this box is just like a paper weight, so, I bought a Raspberry PI 4 with 2GB device and installed LineAge 16 OS (Android 9) on it and now I am enjoying LIVE TV as well all internet TV like Hotstar / Netflix and YouTube...

I recently got my hands on a quite interesting device, a cideko simple box.
Just for the sake of it, I'd like to hack it, and maybe even get a custom rom on it.
It's basically a set-up-multimedia-thingy-box for a TV running android, and it's pretty damn cheap.
Using adb via TCP/IP I was already able to connect and also get a rootshell (yay!)
However, it seems like no firmware files/instructions how to flash are available by the manufacturer (nay!)... I already asked them nicely, let's see what I get back.
You can find the adb bugreport output here if you're curious.
Anyone wants to help?

Saw this hardware before. 600Mhz, no openGL or any accelleration for games, nothing.
It does play back media files, but that's about it.
Very low-end chipset from Skyviia.. ARMv5TEJ at ~228 bogomips is pretty bad.
Does it support the install of apk files from USB? and does it allow flash on websites?

Did you manage to customise your Simplebox? I bought one and the description said "Install Apps and games via the built in SD card slot (APK files)" but I can't find anything in the manual.

I have one too. I like the device and the air keyboard, plus it was pretty cheap. I was really pleased that SMB/CIFS support worked out of the box and witha few other things, but thats where it stops. The software included is the let down, not the machine itself. Video playback is out of sync 99% of the time until you fast forward and/or rewind then it magically syncs up again, only 1 CIFS connection at a time, the vast majority of apps will not install and those that do fail to run, the video software displays long file names in such a way, that you cannot determine which file is which, etc. I sent Cideko an email asking them to pretty please provide a new update addressing these issues, but I heard nothing back and I sent it months ago.
The picture is good, the device is unobtrusive and if you rename your file appropriately then it is a bearable media streamer, but it could have been the best little cheap media box ever with just a little care and attention. Disappointing that no one is interested in improving it.
I purchased an android based car stereo a few months ago and am thinking about trying to cook a rom for it.
I am inexperienced in cooking, but am quite computer savy. Also am new to posting here, so if this is in the wrong area I apologize.
I know there isn't going to be much interest, but I thought maybe I would post some info here and see what I get. I think decks may be heading in this direction and some input would be great.
The only real downside so far to the unit is that it has a somewhat outdated os and boot time is that of a phone. So speeding up the boot time and upgrading the os would be top priority.
The deck is an Adayo AN6B01. Came stock with 2.2 froyo. I cannot post links being that I am new so here's the best I could do.

Honestly, I like it.
When running it stock with no extra stuff installed the boot time is bearable.
I just can't help, but wanna upgrade it.

Other Names for this Unit
Just to aggregate the names that I found for this same unit over the web:
ADAYO AN6B01
AIKON AK-010A
OttoNavi K1
Nakamichi NMMC-1300
Rydeen DV621
HiTV iDroid 8000
There's a good review from Nils Schneider at (t * co/qC7uy8Lk)
On my tests Gingerbreak 1.1 or 1.2 are not able to root the unit
The unit is great, it has some minor issues on Reverse Camera Mask that I´d like to correct on Camera.apk, but seems that without root I'll not be able to reinstall the modified application.
Another issue is the 3G modem compatibility. It´s not any modem that works with it... a good reason to root the unit and check some logs...
From my experience with a similar unit from Dynavin, everything is peachy until you try to add in support for the touch screen drivers which are closed source - or at least were on my unit. This is the only thing that has halted previous attempts to upgrade to a newer version of android.

I have just ordered one of these units as a xmas prezzie from my wife..
the unit looks great , but being a rooted galaxy s3 user i am also very interested in being able to upgrade this unit
ill keep an eye on this forum and when i recieve my head unit , will post as much info as possible to try and help in any way i can
Good to see there is a thread about the radio. I wrote the review mentioned above some weeks ago.
How did you get this update to version 1.19? My dealer didn't inform me about any update. I'm just downloading and will try it out this weekend.
Hopefully I don't brick the unit, as my branding is Nakamichi.
Rooting the unit would be very nice.
I currently work on an app that listens to the iSteering events and translates them into regular media keys, a first test already succeeded.

Hello Lyve,
I got my Nakamichi 1300 Android yesterday. I have made some program installations outside car and want to install it at Saturday. Do you have made the 1.19 update from K1 unit? Does it work and do you have found important chnages? Thanks for an answer.

Damn, so someone's already done it, eh? Making something like this has been on my mind for years now, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's already been made. I was thinking of using a nano-itx atom-based board and android on x86, but arm is so much better supported so that's good.
'Nuff about my idea, have you opened this unit up? Do you have the wifi adapter for it? I wonder if you can find any open ports by scanning that wifi adapter's IP. Maybe you could telnet to it lol. I see it has USB... do you have a USB serial dongle? There has to be some way to get an adb shell at least, I would think. I asked about opening it up because many embedded devices will have some headers on their mainboard for a serial or USB connection.
Cool stuff, let us know what else you find out about it and good luck.
Edit: I'm going to download the firmware update and see if I can find out anything from that... no promises though.
Hello tethrk,
WIFI adapter was included and works fine. I do not have opened the device because there are many warranty labels on it. I Paid 600€. When it gets defective, I do not want to have discussions with the dealer. I have no serial adapter for rooting the device, but I think this is a very interesting point. At the moment there is Android 2.2 on it. I found some apps who needs Android 4+ and can't run with 2.2. But anyway, I have installed yesterday in my car and it works really fine. One point is steering wheel control and hearing music when navigating. But I will try to make this working today. Google navigating and hearing music works, but Sygic and music not for example. Overall a nice expensive toy :laugh:
Best regards
Andreas
Apparently that download contains a system image, but the filesystem used is ubifs. This means that I have to use some mtd hack to mount the image. Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow.

Hi,
I have checked the content from update 1.19. My files on device are the same date. So I have it installed in radio. I hope there comes a new update soon which I get from my dealer. Especially when the rear cam switched back and the radio traffic system switched back, I have some problems. Nomrally it should switch back to previous used source, but it does not. For example after traffic message has finished, it switch back to AUX2 but not to source I have heard before.

arriving tommorow
Well after a long nightmare getting mine through customs, it seems it will finally be in my possession tomorrow, although I am going to have to wait for an auto electrician to install it.
As said , im not into taking this unit apart due to the cost and import nightmare, however I am up for trying to help as much as i can to get this thing rooted and upgraded to JB if at all possible..
Help please
deleted due to new post
some news???
Hello everybody.
is there any news regarding the rooting of this device? I did realize that the hard reset (menu+back+power) did not work (as well as the reset button). Its hard to take the chances without having the possibility to restore the head unit to factory standards if something go wrong...
mine head unit is the AIKON AK-010a by the way.
The system seams really secured, there is no possibility even to change the dock apps. ;(
looking forward for some news.
everybody quit???
Hi guys,
lets put this thread back to live. I did find a way to receive the update data from the adayo an6b01.
Considering I do have an AIKON I would like to know how are my chances to brick the device going through the update.
I verify that some of my apks are "foryou" which are the same from the adayo.
Any tips?
Hi, I've had this unit for a few months now and I was able to root it using the z4root app that is available on the pay store. I haven't really done anything fancy except backup the files using titanium backup. I'm using the Adayo version by the way.
I too have just managed to root my device with z4 ...
I am currently working on a better launcher solution using " home simple " as a base and modifying it
Ill try and get some screens and post some stuff up tommorow...
Im really pleased this has rooted ok... now its time to mod the hell out of it
Just got my Xperia tablet Z yesterday. Loving it so far.
I was wondering what I can throw my videos to (their DLNA sharing feature).
I have my computer, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 hooked up to my TV.
I would think that the PS3 would be the most likely device, since it can stream videos from a computer. How do you set that up?
Thanks
*bump*
Just to follow up, this feature works but isn't that great, in my experience.
You can turn on 'media server' in the Xperia settings. The device showed up on my ps3 and computer, but in both cases I got an error when actually trying to play a video. I'm sure I could fiddle with it to get the files to play, but I don't think I'd use it anyway.
What I was hoping for is, I could watch a video on the bus on the way home, and if I don't finish it, I wanted to effortlessly finish off the video on the bigger screen. I don't think it really works that way though.
I throw to my WD TV Live. Works perfectly with music, doesn't at all with video (but I don't mind, I mean, it's a WD TV Live so I don't need a smartphone for that )
I just picked up my XTZ today finally. Was trying to throw from my Xperia Z to the tablet but can't get either to see the other device is available :-\
Sent from my Xperia Tablet Z
The trow feature in my opinion is fantastic, but extremely temperamental.
I throw video to my Xbox 360 constantly, bearing in mind that my videos have to be coded a certain way with handbrake in order for them to show.
That's even before it recognizes the device. Every time, it takes me 10minutes just to get the tablet to see the Xbox is switched on. It requires multiple reboots of both the Xbox and the Tablet, It seems it must be done a 'certain' way in order for the tablet to recognize the Xbox.
Let's the feature down big style.
The most important thing to bear in mind when using DLNA is that the DLNA-server decode the video.
The DLNA-client shows it.
If your device can't play MKV with DTS, then it won't work.
The best thing you can do is to install PS3 Media Server on your computer with MPlayer.
Then use your computer as file-server which can make all your devices play all file-types.
I use it on my KDL-46V5500, PS3 and XTZ.

I'm not sure 100% but I think that I have read that since last june update Throw doesn't work on XZ, must be verified as I don't use this feature for now.
Yeah, this feature isn't really useful unless it's dead simple (for video anyway).
If it takes 5 minutes to get it going, you might as well just copy the video over with a USB stick.

Yeah no worries. Wish throw worked to a PS3. Have to use the media server feature of the tablet/phone instead. Would have thought I could throw media to the tablet too but guess not.

Throw works pretty well for me actually. I can throw to my TV directly. (Samsung 55ES8000), as well as a Sony Google TV device. It's actually kind of convenient, and always begins working within just a moment for video, and audio. So I guess as goes with everything; Your mileage may vary.
I'm new and I don't mean to be a bother.

Hi. The reason I'm replying to your comment it's because I have a question that it's related to what you were expecting from the throw feat, but I don't know if this is the right place to ask or where to start this thread. But anyway... here it goes.
I just got an Xperia z1 and its the first time I heard about the throw feature and it got me thinking... I know this is still a little far fetched but hey, great products have to start somewhere. So, what would be needed to make something like throw but more powerful? almost like the software that Tony stark uses in the Iron man movies where you could actually "throw" an image with a gesture on your smartphone to your TV or xbox without the need of syncing or asking for permissions. Now, I know this just causes a lot of trouble because of the matter of privacy and security (you know, you wouldn't want strangers sending porn to your tv while your kids watch cartoons), not to mention that there's the matter of choosing the actual device that you want to send the file to among all the other devices, and this means that there would be need of a lot of new protocols and a lot of work but you have to start somewhere, right? I'm sorry if I'm being naive, I know developing something like this would take years and a team of experts but I'm willing to work hard and do a lot of research. I just need someone to pint me in the right direction :laugh:
I apologize in advance if I'm just wasting everybody's time. I'm just a begginer developer that just started an engineering career in computer systems. Also I've been playing a lot of Watch dogs lately and the idea of accesing everything from your smartphone is just so fricking mesmerizing
So I purchased a Z4 SGP771 to use as both a laptop and phone replacement. Works wonderfully for me; although the KB is a bit small for continuous use, it's fine for my purposes.
However, I got overeager and went through the steps to unlock the bootloader in anticipation of rooting the device (which I haven't yet done) and now I've got some issues I'm hoping the good people here can help with.
1. I'm still running the original stock rom it shipped with: 5.0.2
2. I can't get screen mirroring with miracast to work with my bravia tv - specifically I get an error saying that the TV doesn't support HDCP. On the sony support forums, they specifically mention unlocking the bootloader being an issue here. And yes, the TV in question is Wi-Di capable. The tablet can see it, and the TV even has a built in mirroring input setting - the tablet just fails to make the connection.
3. I was able to get remote play to work with my PS4 briefly - it displayed on my Z4's screen very nicely. Now however, I can't get it to do anything but display a grey screen with on-screen controls (like the tablet is being used as a large and clumsy dual-shock controller). To be honest, I cannot remember if the remote play feature was working after I unlocked or not. RL work became very busy and I was unable to take advantage of the remote play option for several days. When I got back to it, it just wasn't working.
Generally speaking, everything else is still running fine. I believe I can fix #1 on my own, but I'm baffled on #2 and #3 without sending it back to Sony for a true repair/relock.
So anybody got any suggestions?

So a bit of an update is in order. After checking in with Sony directly - just a query on their "if you return it for service you may be charged a significant fee, since you've modified the tablet" quote - and they informed me that "yeah, you can't return it at all, sorry no dice, thanks for playing." I went ahead and at least did a full system backup and reboot.
Surprise, surprise, Remote Play works again. I've got significant lag over my router, but I think that's a function of the router, not anything to do with the tablet. So #3 just up and fixed itself. Yay for that.
Screen mirroring is still fubar however. This ultimately isn't a major issue since it isn't something we were aiming to do very often anyway. We only attempted it during a recent soccer game broadcast that wasn't being carried on any of the stations I subscribe to through my cable provider, but was available streaming. So #2 isn't fixed yet, and that does seem to be a direct result of unlocking. I can live with it, but finding a solution would be preferable.

Yes miracast will fail if you unlock.
At least for test devices it is possible to enable it again afterwards but I don't know about retail ones. In any case I'm pretty sure you can't do it via EMMA so I don't think simple Sony service points can do that.

Yes miracast will fail if you unlock.
At least for test devices it is possible to enable it again afterwards but I don't know about retail ones. In any case I'm pretty sure you can't do it via EMMA so I don't think simple Sony service points can do that.
I'll try to find out.

If I remember correctly it changed something in the TA partition with an internal tool SONY Mobile has.
But that was quite some time ago - a couple of years.
I can't seem to find any info here (or anywhere else, really) for this device made by Chinese manufacturer JXD. Here is a link: http://www.jxd.hk/game-console/s192/
It runs the nVidia Kepler chipset. This means, in theory, I should be able to wipe this device and flash the nVidia Shield Tablet K1 stock ROM on it. I can't seem to find any information on how to do it, though. Looks like there is very little information about this particular manufacturer in general. I was wondering if anyone here has any information about this device they can share with me?
Thanks.
Hi, was just able to root mine using kingoroot (pc version) moments ago.
https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-root-android-4.4.htm
GL! Hope someone would make a marshmallow rom for this great device..
Kingoroot installs some apps with it on your pc and device so just uninstall them too.
Hello
at the moment there is nothing that's a shame for a jxd device does not upgrade a marshmallow
The device is great to play but this way it only uses for retro games
P.S I HOPE THAT SOMEONE VERY GOOD WE CAN HELP
BUT I BELIEVE THAT NO MAYBE it ABLE TO UPDATE THE JXD SINGULARITY
good day
Can you guys give a review of this device?
I'd like to know how the controls feel (compared to an xbox gamepad)
Additionally, I'd like to know how it works with PS4 remote play apk and moonlight (for PC streaming)
As for how to for flashing..etc I could definitely work on that as I'm looking to buy one but I'd like to know more about the device since there are ZERO reviews out there for this.
The controls are well built and it is really comfortable to hold. I had this for 4months and loved it. Unfortunately one of the joystick broke and had to return it. Return process was dodgy but luckily I got my money back. Now I have the GPD XD. User experience wise I liked the JXD S192 more.. Though mine broke, I'd still pick the JXD S192 over the GPD XD if given the chance. The screen was awesome for any gaming.. I'd honestly say they hit the sweet spot design wise.
***********WARNING FLASH/INSTALL @ YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!*************
I do not take any responsibility if anything were to go wrong in the process of installing any apps to your device!!!!!!
Hey Guys
So I recently brought the JXD S192k of GearBest and the first thought that came to mind was how i was going to root it just like all my other android devices, little did I know just how difficult it was gonna be to find any information regarding the root process.
All searches regarding this device and obtaining root were fruitless, it didn't matter what I searched under there's just isn't anything out there!
Frustrated I turned to Kingoroot only to find myself more frustrated as i needed to reroot everytime i restarted the device, each time taking longer than the last and keeping this thing ON was not an option.
Then.........I happened to stumble across something that changed everything, looking through the official JXD digital site I saw that they had a Firmware available for the previous version the S192 and in amongst the files was a Root apk. So I thought to myself there isn't much of a difference between the 2 devices so I downloaded it from the Mega site and transferred it to my device.
Once it installed it was just like the Chinese version of Kingoroot and even through everything was in Chinese you could pity much make out what you needed to press. The process it didn't take long and with the 2 root checker apps installed I confirmed that I indeed rooted my device so I went ahead and installed BusyBox to the system.
The best thing about this process is not having to worry about losing root upon restarting, there's one thing that I should mention is NOT to install any sort of SuperSu apks or zip files as you'll get a error message stating the SU binary is occupied. Just use the INBUILT supersu that comes with the Root apk and you should be fine.
Here's some screen shots taken from my system to show that it does work, along with my system details taken from Device info apk.
Hopefully someone out there in the XDA community can expand on what I've stumbled across in the hopes that one day we'll be able to get a custom recovery for our machines.
I have owned the sinigularity for about 4-5 years and I think its an awesome bit of gear for what it is. The controls work fine and feel good in the hand and I've used it with remotr linked to my PC and and found it did work fine for games that didn't require split second reflex timing but there was a little lag. Over all it worked great and you can run your PC remotely from other rooms in your house (if you wanted too).
The 10,000 mah battery is the real deal and has plenty of playtime.
I use it a lot for playing movies and link it to a projector via the HDMI output. The screen is a great size and I don't know how they didn't become more popular.
I only found this thread because I was looking for firmware upgrades but as you all know there doesn't seem to be any. Either way I'm still using it but it would be nice if they had support.
