I have succeeded in:
- downloading the Foxtel Mobile TV Guide
- making it work on my HTC Touch HD
- stopping it from prompting me for "permissions" every time it runs.
- creating a direct shortcut to the application
This allows me to send remote-record instructions to my Foxtel iQ2 set top box, just like on the "supported" handsets, such as the Nokia N95.
(I've cross-posted this information to an existing thread on forums.whirlpool.net.au, where there are probably more Aussies asking about it. But I thought I should also post here, because xda-developers has more people interested in adjusting permissions in Jbed's "selector.utf".)
The following worked with Jbed 20080418.2.1 on the HTC Touch HD. I am not entirely sure whether that is the version which came on my handset originally, but if you have a problem with the version you're using, you can try to find the version I'm using via a Google/forum search.
Step 1. Register for the Foxtel TV Guide on your computer, and make sure it's working from a normal PC browser:
https://www.foxtel.com.au/EPG/EPG.aspx
Step 2. Send the text message "Guide" to 19 955 955 from the handset, as per the instructions at the following webpage:
http://www.foxtel.com.au/mobile/get-started.htm
(Cost: $0.55 according to that web page.)
You will shortly receive an SMS message with a URL to download the software, but if you try to download it on your handset, you will probably get an error message saying that your handset is unsupported.
Step 3. Change a web browser's "agent string" to match one of the supported handsets' agent string, then use the URL on the SMS message to download the software.
I used Firefox, and changed my agent string to:
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95_8GB/10.0.021; Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 ) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
as quoted on the following web page:
http://www.leytonjay.co.uk/internet...kia-n95-8gb-user-agent-string-default-browser
Using the instructions on this page:
http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2004/04/24/changinguseragent.html
(I removed the "general.useragent.override" setting afterwards, to change Firefox back to normal.)
The file you download will be a ".jad" file.
Step 4. Copy the ".jad" file onto the handset, using ActiveSync, etc.
Step 5. On the handset, run the Jbed "Java" program, and choose Menu->Install->Local Files to locate the .jad file, and install it.
At this stage, you have installed the Foxtel Mobile TV Guide, but you might not be able to use it. On the HTC Touch HD, you do not have any built-in keyboard, or any directional buttons, and something needs to be done to work around it.
Step 6. If you don't have a directional pad on your pocket pc, then install a utility to re-map your volume buttons to fulfil the role of the directional pad. I installed AE-Button Plus, and used the following settings for my HTC Touch HD:
Volume Up:
1: Press Up arrow key
2: Press Left arrow key
3: Press Enter
Long: Press Left SoftKey
Volume Down:
1: Press Down arrow key
2: Press Right arrow key
3: Press Enter
Long: Press Right SoftKey
You may choose to use a different utility, as long as you can access up/down/left/right/enter and have a "hardware" way of accessing the soft-keys, which will be invisible.
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Step 7. Run "Java" and launch the "Foxtel TV Guide" application. You will probably need to give it several permissions manually, because we haven't done anything about that, yet.
In order to perform a "remote record", you will need to enter your Foxtel TV Guide user guide and password, the same as for the normal web browser interface. But, Jbed won't let you access a SIP, and if you might not have a physical keyboard. You will need to use some software to control your handset from your PC.
I used EveryWAN Remote Support Personal Edition 3.0:
http://www.sparus-software.com/spip.php?page=download&lang=en
In the Foxtel Java application, press the Left SoftKey, to bring up the "Actions" menu. You can do this via your remote control program, or use your remapped buttons. Choose "Settings", then "Account Settings".
Now you have to enter your Foxtel username and password using the remote control software as a keyboard. However, it's not as simple as typing "a", "b", "c", etc. The application expects you to ONLY use digit keys, like on a simple phone. So, for "a" you might press "2" once, "b" = hit "2" twice in quick succession, etc. It's a pain, but you should only have to do it once, and it'll remember your settings.
By this stage, you should be able to launch and control the Foxtel Mobile TV Guide with your remapped buttons, and because you've entered your username and password, you can ask your iQ/iQ2 to record something from your phone, and it'll do it.
IF you want to get rid of the annoying prompts for permission on startup: (technical, and your mileage may vary)
Step 8. Find the files "selector.utf" on your handset, and copy it to your PC. Mine is in \Esmertec Java\AppDb, but yours might be in \Windows\AppDb. Make backups, both on your PC and on your handset, in case you do something wrong.
Step 9. Download a Hex editor for your PC, and edit "selector.utf".
I used "HexEdit":
http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/hexedit/
The first two bytes of the file determine exactly how many bytes follow. My file was 397 bytes long, so the first two bytes were "01 8B" = 395. The first two bytes don't count. The java program should be happy with "selector.utf" as long as the correct length is given.
The Foxtel application is installed with a setting/line "domain=midp1", but we need to change it to "domain=tckmax". That's exactly one byte longer, so, use your hex editor to increase the length by 1. In my case, that meant changing the first two bytes from "01 8B" to "01 8C".
Save and exit.
Next, open the file up with a normal editor. Hopefully you can use notepad, but I used "vi", which may not be available on your computer. Change "domain=midp1" to "domain=tckmax", save, and exit.
Step 10. Overwrite "selector.utf" on your handset with your edited version, and run Java again, and launch the Foxtel TV Guide application. Hopefully, it will now run without prompting you for any permission any more.
Step 11. You can make a direct shortcut to the Foxtel TV Guide application if you like, so you don't have to run "Java" and then select it manually any more. If you look at "selector.utf" again, there is a parameter "root=XXXX". In my case, the Foxtel TV Guide root is "s2_". It depends on which order you install your Java applications.
Using Resco File Explorer, copy the Java shortcut from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ and create a link "Foxtel" in the same directory. Then, tap-and-hold on it and choose "Properties", then the "Shortcut" tab. In the "target" field, append the string:
-run XXXX
where XXXX is the root of your Foxtel application. Don't forget to use a space to seperate "-run" from whatever comes before.
I hope this information is useful to someone. I tried following all sorts of tutorials for removing the permissions prompts, but most threads are focussed on Java Gmail/Opera applications, and they never worked for this Foxtel software. They key was, the Foxtel application installs itself in the "midp1" domain, and in order to change that to "tckmax", which is one extra byte, and I had to change the two-byte header of the file.
Edit: Addendum: The application looks like it'd be happier on a QVGA device, and I had some problems scrolling through the list of all channels in WVGA mode. It's more functional if I use WVGAFIX3 to set the resolution to VGA 480x640 before I run it.
I just installed this file: View attachment 156767 which allows me to watch foxtel on my xperia and also allows me to view the foxtel tv guide through telstra's business portal (free to browse) and set up programs to record on my IQ2.
Works like a charm.
Special thanks to thedeva who posted this file in another thread.
Thanks tls,
will add this to my shortcut list!
will this work if you're with a different mobile carrier other than telstra or does it use the telstra portal?
i had it working on '3'!
On a separate note, my JBlend got corrupted and im trying to figure out how to install/restore it.
I have G-alarm 1.5. installed on my rhodium and i have noticed having daily G-alarm Debug files being created in the "My device" directory.
For instance i have the following files in "My device" directory:
20091112_GAlarmDebug.txt
20091113_GAlarmDebug.txt
Why does this happen and whats its purpose? Each of these files size arnd 4 - 10 KB, which without a purpose is a useless drain of memory space.
Does anybody have an idea why this is happening.
Try to disable debug logging
If you have "Enable Debug logging" selected in Advanced Options, it is normal to have them on your device, G-Alarm behaves as requested.
If you have the setting disabled, there is a problem with G-Alarm.
Radu
Thanks for reply,
But i can't seen any options of enabling/ disabling the debug logging in the advanced set-up.
I am using the 1.5 version of G-alarm. Is there anything else i should disable- enable to get rid of these .txt logs?
I have the same problem with the same G-Alarm version. It loks like, that the latest free version was a test version, and therfore ther is no way to disable debugging. I personally delete these files with TotalCommander, but if they really drive you to the nuts, you can write a small program in MortScript and run it sometimes (i think it would be maximum 5 lines of code) to automate this process.
Mod:
I wrote the MortScript program (see attachment).
You should have MortScript installed, and .mscr format associated to MortScript.exe.
The program contains only one line, which deletes every file in the root (\MyDevice) with the ending GAlarmDebug.txt.
Feel free to modify it (for example if you want to schedule it to run every day or want to add a GUI)
!!Don't forget to rename it to galarm.mscr (xda dev doesn't allow mscr files)!!

Hello,
My /sdcard/bugreports/ directory is full of bugreport- txt (each ~4mb)
Can this by caused by USB debugging enabled ?
Also one more question - what application can generate these messages?:
[46610.035736] LeaveICM: leave ICM MODE done !!!
[46610.288085] EnterICM: enter ICM MODE done!!!
I get these every 2-3 seconds in OSmonitor (dmesg), and bugreports .txt files is full of these lines. What application generates this? How to disable it?
Can it by related with DHD lag? For example app menu is scrolling so laggy!
My DHD is unrooted
USB debugging is enabled because of init 100%cpu bug
Kernel: Linux version 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d (htc-kernel and18-2)
Only few applications is installed
Yes, the .log files are created because usb debug is on.
Hmm but i don't know which app causes these lines. I know it's a huge effort, but do a full wipe and check if these lines are still there. If not, reinstall your apps one by one and check if these lines occur again. So you should be able to figure out which app causes them.

Full wipe - it's Factory reset?
Because I did it and nothing changed.

Those lines are normal, albeit a bit verbose. No need to worry about them. They wont slow down your phone.
You can install a custom kernel to remove it.
HI all
maybe its wise to start a new thread how to make an offline package for our phones
especially because of these info :
Microsoft begins to block Windows 10 Mobile updates for the majority of Windows phones
https://mspoweruser.com/microsoft-begins-block-windows-10-mobile-updates-majority-windows-phones/
https://mspoweruser.com/only-13-windows-phones-will-get-the-windows-10-creators-update/
My question is :
-how to make an offline install able upgrade/update package for our phones ( fiddler i think )
-how to update the phone with all the cabs downloaded ( uitool.exe ?? )
What i know .. first install old firmware on your phone , install fiddler on your pc and download from your phone thats connected to the fiddler proxy your files.
Can one of you guys make a SIMPLE instruction how to download these CAB files from microsoft ? and how to configure fiddler in this case
The last question ...
What i know ... use uitool.exe to "upload" / install these downloaded cab files ( through fiddler ) on you phone.
Can one of you guys make a SIMPLE instruction how to install these cab files ???
I think i can speak for a lot of people with the same question.
Now i have to google/use xda search to find what i need but all the threads are old an out-dated or have old information.
Many thanks in advance !!!

That's one way:
- you set up a sniffing proxy on your PC (like Fiddler or Paros)
- configure it to record, maybe even save a copy, of the data it passes through
- flash a rom with WDRT to uninstall updates and start from a known and replicable point, configure a network with your proxy ASAP, and just let it download updates to have a list of cabs to redownload (or even the files themselves, again I'm not terribly familiar) on your PC!
OR you can go to the Microsoft Update Catalog with a non-IE browser, search for a W10M update pack (suggested search string: "000-ru") and from there you can get a list of every single cab for the version you selected!
In fact you will find even cabs not applicable to your phone (indeed you've probably heard of this method from the "download continuum/reset protection to unsupported models" topics), plus there may be a sequence to respect (for instance you can't flash RS3 directly from WP8, as some versions - TH2 in this example - add support for new update formats ["servicing stacks", you may have seen in PC updates])

This part is easy: you indeed download iutool (from some "windows sdk" download from Microsoft, or a portable version from some interop unlock topic here on xda), then the command is:
iutool -v -p {path to folder with the update files}
And you wait for the files to be copied (nothing will be obvious on the phone) then it'll just reboot to the usual "update/format progress bar" screen - assuming everything went right! All failures, you'll see on the computer screen, in a not terribly useful way...
Fiddler settings:
Tools > Telerik Fiddler Options > Connections (tab):
- Act as system proxy on startup = off
- Monitor all connections = off
- Allow remote computers to connect = on
Restart Fiddler and allow on firewall; Enable "Stream" button on the toolbar
Flash your phone, turn off all WWAN and privacy-related options during initial setup, don't use a MS account, run to the store and turn off auto updates (all of these to minimize non-update network requests)
Configure wifi to have a proxy at your computer's IP and port 8888 (you could have changed it in the settings above),
Just download the updates from system settings as usual, you'll see the list of requests fill up in Fiddler
[Do not enable File>Capture Traffic, that's for dumping the activity of the same computer that runs Fiddler, despite the name]
Once your phone gets to "preparing to install updates", all have been downloaded: so sort the columns by "Host" and select all requests related to "download.windowsupdate.com"
File > Export Sessions > Selected > Raw Files > select a dump folder and leave all 3 options enabled
The dump folder will open, now you have to flatten it (go inside the subfolders and copy all the files in one single folder; if you have Unix "find" this is easy to automate, but with only 10 folders or so it's not too tedious even by hand)
This single combined folder is now what you can pass to iutool for updating via USB!
I'm trying to find information about a multimedia system i have installed in my Skoda, the sticker on the device says CNT100, which is manufactured by CarNeTek (device page - https://www.carnetek.com.tw/products_detail/15.htm, not sure if they are the manufactures or just a reseller).
The company which sell and install it locally are not willing to share any information about the device, and of course are not willing to unlock it (to install applications from the play store, tweak configuration, etc.).
On the device there are 6 dip switches (which i couldn't figure out what they control), and no visible button (to get into recovery), i can get to the play store, and install applications - but as soon the installation is completed - they get uninstalled (there is a list of application that are not automatically uninstalled).
The launcher looks like a custom local version, there is no way to get into the settings page and the notification bar cannot be clicked (or dragged down), if i click multiple times on the menu - i get a dialog for some configuration, where i'm prompt for password (the dialog has a random number on it - which i suspect is used to generate correct password).
is anyone familiar with this device? or can suggest a way to unlock it?
(attached images of the device and the boot screen)
Hey mrtowel!
Trying to figure out that as well.
You said "if i click multiple times on the menu"
Where is this menu? possible to send a photo of that?
I'm talking about an Israeli version
Seems to be customized by [email protected]
sorry but i was wrong describing the way to get to the password dialog, on the home screen - there is a weather widget, showing the weather on the left side and the clock on the right side, multiple taps on the weather allows you to reboot the device, while multiple taps on the clock gets you to the password dialog.
I made some progress with the device - still working on getting it unlocked completely, let me know if you want more details.

Hey!
Just found that new to me. Pushed 6 times on the clock of the weather widget and got a prompt for the password. I receive a 9 digit number with that.
Also found that if you do the same on the temperature indication, you'll be prompt for device restart.
So that's a progress.
Anyways, I will be happy to hear from you, what progress you have made on this.
Will send you a PM.
Did someone have any success?
Hello, i have a Toyota corolla 2016 with "android multimedia" that have only 2 apps without google play or any apps, the startup screen is like yours.
i wan to unlock the system, someone know how to do that?

try to get to app store (in case it is installed) through one of the installed apps using the 'rate us' option, you can also try and push a play store link through bluetooth, if it works - the android system will launch the play store app, and you'll be able to setup your account.
Once you get to the play store - download and install Googel app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&hl=en) this will let you ask google assistant to 'Open Display Settings' (in my case this option let me enable the drag down menu, where i could easily access the settings and other stuff).
hope that helps
?
Hey did you succeed?
please help
Hi
did any one of you had any success with getting into setting menu ?
i can get to google play...but as was posted before, everything i try to install immediately erase itself.....
does any one have the approved app list from ituran ?
i do believe that together we can crack this....
thanks
Thanks for the tips I've made it to download youtube! But how I can bypass the limit to install all apps from play store?
Also how can I cancel the restrictions of using apps during drive?
Thanks

Hey @mrtowel any change you can share some more details?
I tried connecting to the USB with my laptop to try doing some adb commands but it did not detect anything
I'm also wondering about the dip switch
and how to get the password bypass
Would really like to hear some more details if you can share please?
Just came here to see if can recall my steps from last time i played with the device (i kind of gave up, as it worked well with what there is, but recent update made it work really slow).
turns out there is a post on facebook (https://facebook.com/groups/gilcar/permalink/729881061134680/?comment_id=729883497801103), i'm going to try and build some utility to generate unlock codes (last time, i managed to get to an adb terminal, but i wasn't aware of the `pm hide` option to disable the installation blocker ****).
will post updates here if i get some progress
For anyone interested, attached the list of whitelisted apps. a jar to generate the code to enable tech mode and how i disabled the installation blocker
For the jar - you would need to get your device Wifi MAC address (see old post from 2019 on how to enable the navigation bar), which can be retrieved from the 'אודות' section. (run the jar by running 'java -jar codeGen_jar.jar 00:11:22:33:44:55' - replace the numbers with your device mac address)
Wifi must be enabled - before the next step
To get to the code, hit few clicks on the clock widget in the home screen would prompt you with a password (if the code generator matches your version of connect-it (if it isn't - see bypass admin mode workaround below), the codes would match), enter the unlock code (admin mode result from the codeGen output) and move to the apps section - you would see 'tech mode' application.
Wifi must be connected before the next step
On the tech mode application - you would have another code (tech mode result from the codeGen) enter it - and it would open a page to enable adb remote server (you must be connected to a wifi network to get it to work).
Connect to the adb using a remote shell from another device (or a laptop), to the specified IP on port 1917 (note that most mobile tethering options won't work due to networking limitations). If you don't have an accessible wifi network - see Wifi Workaround below
From adb, run the following:
to disable the application which blocks installations: pm hide com.ituran.installationblocker
Disable updates: pm hide com.ituran.systemupdateservice
Disable blocking applications while driving: pm hide com.ituran.driveusagemonitor
Tips:
While in admin mode, you can see all installed applications, and pin them to the start page of the home screen, recommend to pin Play Store app (as it is usually hidden)
Don't try to enable or enter 'Guest mode' (i tried it, and the device went into boot loop)
The codes generated are date sensitive, so either generate new ones if you won't use them in the same day, or change the device date.
Wifi Workaround : a workaround can be to install modified version of 'Remote ADB Shell' (attached) on the device, save it to your mobile phone, and push it to the device through bluetooth, this version is the same version as 'Remote ADB Shell' from the play store - only names 'Spotify' which will keep it installed on the device, after installation, run it and connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 1917 instead.
Bypass admin mode workaround : while Admin Mode enables you to view the hidden applications, in the above process, it mainly gives you the option to run the tech mode app. if the code for the admin mode isn't working for you, install 'Amaze file explorer' (attached - it was renamed to bypass the installation blocker) by pushing it through bluetooth.
You can find more details on this facebook post (not mine - but i used details from this thread to figure out how to disable the application from ADB)
Enjoy and drive safely.

Does this method work with Hyundai, Mitsubishi, etc...?
Hi Mr.
mrtoweldo you have any videos explain the steps in post #13 I will be thankful if you provide me with for urgent case.
thank you dear for great job
