How to pull zxw_factory_config.xml file from Head Unit?

The zxw_factory_config.xml file is a device/vendor specific configuration file that gets shipped with your Head Unit. Before you make any changes, please make a backup of the original file, so that you can always revert to it.

  1. Download ADB from Android SDK Platform Tools

  2. Create a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone

  3. Connect Head Unit and your laptop to that Wi-Fi hotspot

  4. Connect to the Head Unit by using a terminal emulator of your choice and ADB:

    adb connect IP:PORT

  5. Pull the file into your device:

    adb pull /mnt/privdata1/zxw_factory_config.xml

    If this command fails with a “Permission Denied” error, you will need to change the permissions on the file in order to pull/copy it:

    adb shell
su
chmod +r /mnt/privdata1/zxw_factory_config.xml
exit
exit

    Then re-run the adb pull command above

  6. Disconnect:

    adb disconnect

Note: You might need to configure your environment variables to access adb command from all locations, alternatively you can cd into the platform-tools folder and run it from there, perhaps with ./adb path instead. This is not specific to these head units and therefore out of scope for this guide. Please look up other instructions online to learn more about installation and usage of ADB, and command line utilities in general.
