Мне удалось в без парольное инженерное меню зайти через 10 и 2 касания во вкладке Storage. если 5 и 1 раз тыкать от кнопки апдейт то выходит предупреждение об обновлении . Добраться до настроек андройда не получилось.

To the people who keep saying the engineering password doesn't work. Most sites don't list them all this is from the decompiled EngineerMode system app. For me on my Kia optima 2020 after I had my radio replaced by KIA 2801 worked.

If you don't have a second button the right to use 7 ,3 ,and 1 but instead one button to the left for AV ON/OFF. Then you need to hold the Left button + the software "Media" button until the Engineer mode is displayed.

Hey, I was wrong so first you need to enable screen capture on sw info/update screen do 5 taps to the left of the "UPDATE " button and about 6-7 taps to the right until it says screen capture enabled. After that hold "MEDIA" until the Korean words are displayed, then after about 3 or 4 toast messages are displayed Engineer mode all in one should open on its own. BTW we have the same STDG5W I didn't know how to get into dealer mode. I'm trying to get in factory mode. If I can get access to /dev/tcc-otp we can decrypt firmware and have a restore method. I won't do any tweaking until then. The kernel source and bootloader are both legit and complete this time so it's even more interesting.

Unfortunately, I don't have any information. More than likely it's embedded into the device I can't say for sure without physically opening it.

Блок мультимедиа

Всем привет! Удалось немного разобрать машину для определении блока, вот результат: Ниже фото модема. Вопрос к знатокам: Sim карта в нем вшита или надо искать дальше по машине?

How can I enter the hidden menu of this screen and access its settings, make changes to its system and add new languages and maps because there is a pre-installed South Korea map on it. Thank you.
