how to get to my android files (remote.conf) ?

    I installed LE 8.0 by kszaq MXQ Pro 4k box, but remote is not working,

    the faq says
    Q: My remote control does not work, what can I do?
    A: Grab remote.conf file from Android firmware (it's available in /system/etc)


    I booted into original firmware, in Apps there is a file browser, I searched everywhere but I found no remote.conf file, I found a "system/" subdir under android tree, but there was no "etc" subdir nor remote.conf.

    Where and how I get remote.conf f?

    I did google for that for couple of hours, tried root-ing device to no avail, Ended up using adb over network

    in settings/about media box click 5-7 on build number till we got message about "developer...", there should be "developer options" extra menu item in settings/, in there we turn on adb/usb debugging

    from my computer
    > adb connect mxq-ip-address
    confirm adb auth popup on android box
    > adb pull /system/etc/remote.conf remote.conf

    I diffed Mario77 remote.conf to my MXQ Pro 4k ,
    looks like different remote

    factory_code = 0xfe010001 // my mxq pro 4k
    factory_code = 0xfe010000

    then there are dozen or different codes after that

    That is for MXQ S805

    Googling mxq s805 I see different remote than for mxq s905x.
    I assume codes are hardwired into the remote keys.
    If I had an arbitrary remote, how would I determine the code each key is sending ?
