Anyone ever see that show up???

But to your question: file doesn't know (says data). It is obviously some binary format, and it doesn't look to be compressed. (Too many ff ff words...) But if it's not compressed, it's only about 80x80 pixels at one byte per pixel, so I'm inclined to think it's RLE or some such. The only obvious thing to do (I think) is to start twiddling bits/bytes/words and reboot the tablet to see what happens. If it's encoded, though, it's quite possible to change something in such a way as to cause buffer overrun or other bad behavior (exposing bugs in little-used, probably little-tested code), and at worst case, boot-up could fail entirely... Not for me, at least not right now.

Check the one next to it: qgn_indi_charger_connection_detected
It's also seen as 'data' (i.e. unknown) by file, but is a tidier file size, (1200 = 40x30) and comparison might yield helpful results -- if they are even the same format.

Regard... If it is a binary file presented before the OS is loaded (like the charging message, etc.) it may have been considered proprietary and that whole routine may be check sum protected.

I don't rightly know but this has been my experience while exploring other devices.
