Looking for a dev, for an interesting project

Recently I started using an all in one DJ solution finding out that it uses Linux totally stoked then find out the company that makes this has just recently been sold many of the people in the forum have all decided to try to ask for the Linux OS as an open-source fearing this is probably not going to happen because the new company is a very large company. They're most likely not going to do anything else with this device at this time I thought of you all of course because I use you and have been using you to modify my android devices also linux based so just wanted to see if it was possible for you all or for any of the super awesome developers to get the kernel or whatever it is to make it possible to mod this device. I do know that on the web page they did release an update before they were bought and it tells you how to get the device in to the mode to upload , possible starting point , so in an end this is a Stanton scs.4dj let me know would so be stoked and so would so many others.
If you want to try and help please look up the Stanton SCS.4DJ
On the support tab for that deck there is an update file that I believe might give us an idea where to start with the device.
Thank you all in advance for looking and attempting anything you do try.

[Q] Hi, I'm new on XDA Forum

Hi, Myself Amol Baikar.
I'm from India.
Im new on this forum. today i hacked windows phone 8.1
and want to submit post in achievement section.
so plz guide me as soon as possible, i'm waiting. and very excited to post Windows Phone ethical Hacking for Nokia Devices.
i'm first in the wolrd who hacked wp 8.1 lumia device.
Unless you have some reason to avoid sharing it, you should let us know what you did so we can properly appreciate it and ideally give us a tool/app to do it ourselves and start making use of it! Explaining *how* you did it is not required, although I personally nearly always do so; it's a good way to build trust.
Having 10 posts will let you create a thread in the Development & Hacking forums, which is really the proper place for announcing a successful hack, but there's nothing terribly wrong with posting it here instead.
Depending on how good your hack is (interop-unlock? full-unlock? bootloader-unlock? arbitrary code execution with full trust?), whether it's specific to Nokia phones or not, and what it requires (special hardware? a particular regional ROM? hard-resetting your phone?) we may start using the hack immediately; any time you sit on it is time we can't even get started. So, let us know what you've got!

Help with the Sony 6.0 test run.

I have a problem too with it, says my country is not eligible but it should be. If someone could sign me up or provide an apk, that would be awesome! I am based in Estonia by the way.

Looking for a volunteer who is OFFICIALY REGISTERED IN PIE BETA FOR EXYNOS

Hi,
I'm looking for someone who is officially registered in the beta program, didn't update yet, or is willing to go back to Oreo to start over.
I want to capture the update.zip file(s) for the community. No root is required, only a bit of your time and patience.
Note: I'll have to remotely connect to your PC via TeamViewer. Only offer your help if you're comfortable with that.
Keep in mind, I have an S9, so its not in my interest to get it, its in the community's, I just offer my help.
Have a good one.
we need a hero !

Guys, we figured it out already on the s9, so its no longer rocket science, just do your part, and let your community know that we're looking for someone who can officially register in the beta.
I'll take care of the rest. But I'm not part of this community, so I need your help.

Can you explain how to capture update.zip rather than asking for access to our PCs? I'm sure some would gladly provide it in that case, whereas otherwise they may be hesitant to let a stranger control their computer.

I gladly would, but the method can easily be patched by samsung by tying the DL link to device verification. I am not disclosing my solution on any public platform. If you want assurance, take a look at the s9 thread. But I'm willing to accept anyone contacting me who is in doubt, but registered in the beta. I can discuss the rest with them.
I'm not withholding any useful information, I'm just being cautious. We had way too many scammers in the S9 community and just caught one in your community. If you don't trust me, I understand that as well.
Once again, I don't have a Note 9, so it is purely a gesture to help the community after asking and failing to get help from G965F users who dumped the updates using root.
BTW: Before I connect to anybody's machine, I explain what I need, i get the relevant person to download and install anything that's necessary, and they are free to disconnect any time they like. I'm only there to guide them, and catch what I need to be able to provide you the update.
Also: If nobody comes forward to work with me, I'm sure its just a matter of time until you get it. I was just part of a community that impatiently waited for the 2nd update and the hotfix, and I was driven to get a solution, so I thought I'd offer my help here as well.
Search first...

Why starting a new thread about this subject while there's already one?

bootloader unlock

If we were somehow able to unlock the bootloader and install custom ROMs, would this solve the Google ban problem or is the device itself banned?

You should, in theory, be able to install opengapps if it came down to it.
There isn't an issue though as Google has already, on multiple occasions now, stated that current devices will not have their access revoked.
If people could read the news stories it would help...

If you could read news you would know that current devices will lose support after 90 days
No, Google has said that all existing devices will be supported with security patches.
BBC News - Huawei's use of Android restricted by Google
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48330310
"Existing Huawei smartphone users will be able to update apps and push through security fixes, as well as update Google Play services."
This has been reiterated by Google themselves. So please, read before trying any one-up-manship thanks.

Now let us talk about the difference of OS-Updates/Fixes and Application-Updates/Fixes.
It is a fact that newer Android Releases aswell as Security Updates for the P30 Pro are in jeopardy - not currently but atleast after the temporary license has been withdrawn.
Also Google removed the Mate 20 pro from the Android Q Beta:
https://9to5google.com/2019/05/21/huawei-mate-20-pro-android-q-removal/
Please read the post you've quoted, as well as all the other websites reporting on this.
ALL EXISTING HUAWEI DEVICES WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE SECURITY FIXES NOW AND IN THE FUTURE AS PER EXISTING AGREEMENTS.
Beta access is completely different.

Read the tweet in the link above from the official Android Twitter account.

In those links my Browser wasn't able to find the Text which you typed in while your Capslock was active.
And the tweet from Android only tells something about Apps and the Playstore, aswell as all other sites. They don't mention that Huawei Users will be able to get Android Q or further Android Versions <-- but that is the biggest point!
Nobody can guarantee if Huawei will provide us with a stable Android Q version. Especially since they announced that theywill provide/are working on their own Operating System.
Let's tackle things in the order you've posted them:
1- I didn't put them in quotation marks, as such it is not lifted directly from a website linked or otherwise (apart from now this one I supposed). It was a paraphrase of all the other websites reporting on the issue.
2- The tweet (along with other sites) state that all future security patches and updates will be made available.
3- Android Q is irrelevant at this point. Security patches are not equal to future OS versions. Android Pie will be supported up to a point, and will continue to receive security patches. The P30 Pro may never get Android Q, I don't recall it ever being promised that it would receive Android Q. If I'm incorrect, and it was promised, then please provide the information. As an extension of this, however, Android Q can still be provided to the P30 Pro through the AOSP which has also been stated in numerous articles and news stories - both linked above and not.
Finally, to reiterate for the people at the back (and this is a direct quote):
"Huawei will continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products, covering those that have been sold and that are still in stock globally."
This isn't from a particular link, but is from Huawei themselves. (a copy of this can be found at this link, as well as many others: https://www.standard.co.uk/tech/huawei-google-ban-mean-for-huawei-phone-owners-a4146211.html )
I don't know what is hard for people to understand about this, I really don't. This ban (until it is lifted, which is a whole other discussion) will only affect currently unreleased devices, all existing devices will continue to function as intended, with no disruption to service from either Google, Android or Huawei - something that has been directly stated by all 3 separate entities.
Would you like me to provide any more direct quotations on the matter? Alternatively please contact Huawei directly, as they will forward you on their official statement, as they have done to me and likely everyone else who has contacted them about their P30 Pro.
Regarding Android Q, although it was not technically 'promised', I think that it is expected when you purchase a flagship phone for a lot of money. I expect a lot of people would not have purchased the device if they knew that it would never be updated to newer future versions of Android. I certainly would not have.
I'm just hopeful that if it comes to it, Huawei will be able to use the AOSP code to provide us with Android Q.
Ultimately this is all irrelevant speculation (IMO) as Lord Trumpington is just using this as a power-play to try and strong arm a trade deal with China. Once the trade deal is finalised all trade blocks will be lifted and things will go back to normal.
