Can't retrieve token from Android app

[ianloic]

I just got a Roborock S5, set it up with Mi Home version 5.1.5. I tried extracting the token from a backup of the app but didn't get anything. When I take a look at the sqlite database the token column looks empty:

sqlite> select localIP, token,name,model from devicerecord;
localIP        token       name             model             
-------------  ----------  ---------------  ------------------
192.168.86.35              Roborock Vacuum  roborock.vacuum.s5

This is a duplicate of #185, the simplest option currently is to downgrade and use an older version of the app for extracting the token (you can update the app back afterwards if you like).

I tried the downgrade trick but it is still empty. I installed the apk from the link.

I found it easiest to get the token directly from the robot, with the modified firmware from the dustcloud-project you can simply login via ssh and do
printf $(cat /mnt/data/miio/device.token) | xxd -p

Here are the step-by-step instructions to get a rooted firmware: https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud/wiki
