Some ATIVA users on FB managed to find out some secret hidden menus on the ori HU by tapping somewhere in the setting menu

Is anyone willing to share how to get to the service menu?
I see there is a host and device mode. Thinking that maybe I can put it into device mode and start
probing the Linux file structure and even make a dump of the OS.

Here you go. Credit goes to Shaun Ng from Ativa Facebook Group.

I actually tried to connect the HU with my laptop through USB male to male. The Device Manager was detecting something but there is no driver to control the HU (maybe like ADB or something missing)

Hopefully you can make it. Looking forward to ur reply.

Thank you. Appreciate the videos. I'll update here if I make any good progress investigating.

Tried plugging into the front USB port with OTG on device mode instead of host. Got nothing interesting.
Suspect that the USB port is not the one on the front but via a debug pad or unsoldered USB port that is used for testing and loading in the factory.

Unfortunately, I don't have an extra head unit. Perhaps when I change mine to a 3rd party Eonon head unit, I'll take the stock one and hook it up to a power supply and reverse it. Not sure when I'll change mine.

I tried to look for TTL or any serial port on the mainboard but also no result....

However, I saw someone on Github using USB Ethernet adapter to establish ssh server with Linux HU and gain root access.
If you have USB Ethernet Adapter, maybe you can try and see...

Here's the Github link

Unfortunately, this does not work with my Ugreen ethernet adapter. Probably due to lack of any kind of LAN driver in the firmware.
