CA-Fi Bootloader

Yes, what may be the way to enter the bootloader (as this is the way to install update files from the microSD card):

- while pressing on the screen (better with stylus to make sure of a responce) switch on car ignition to enter setup;

- after installation is complete press the small crests for several times until the system reboots.

I bought this Gem http://us.dinodirect.com/2din-car-d...ynamic-revloving-interface.html?DDID=3520-616 I think it has the same hardware as this CA-Fi one. Its made by sealand??? I need to add market and tried sideloading market/google play but it doesn't work.

I spent (or better yet, DONATED 350 bucks to china for this and to return it will cost shipping etc. I just want to try and salvage it. It sucks royally for the same reasons people posted above.

Your device looks different to me by both hardware and software and price (mine cost me 800 USD), but perhaps this may still help you. Open the russian forum and select the option (from the browser) to translate the web page into english:

The CA-Fi type is now shipped with the Market, but those who have ordered it in winter have successfully installed it, according to the link i posted above.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

I have posted complaints about the missing sync of the car stereo with Google servers as calendar and contacts - but I have surpisingly easy resolved this by installing GoContacts and CalenGoo, as seen from my you-tube video.

Actually at present (after using the CA-Fi device for a month) I have only one major complaint - the instability of connecting to 3G / recognizing the 3G usb modem during system launch. If it connected during launch it keeps the network with no issues.

I have even replaced the built in microphone that I didnt like...

So its rather a good device then bad in my opinion. It works. Not perfectly, but it delivers what I wanted to have in the car.

]w w w.chinajiaho. c o m /2din-7-inch-capacitive-touch-screen-android-car-dvd-player-with-gps-wifi-and-3g-internet-access_p3910.html

Also made by Sealand. It has an update process that looks for mcurom.bin (from a menu item under settings).

It's a pretty decent device, but it would be better if it was rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Data:
Boot time

Can you tell me how much time it takes to boot?

Mine, from Sealand, takes about 50 seconds from when I turn on ignition to when I start listening to the radio (while loading of the multimedia library takes some more time).

Does it have a sleep mode?

Unfortunately mine does not, so I have to wait the 50 seconds boot every time I switch off and on the engine.

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelseff:
Thanks MrBuz, I will try that

Mr. Data, Do you have a link to the 4 files you used? I contacted Sealand and they have not responded.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dentyne!!!:
I don't think it has a sleep mode. I haven't got it installed in the car yet, playing with it on it's own. It takes 30s to startup, but that's with no music. I just populated the media card with 24GB of music, so I'll see if that makes a difference.

It has both 12v and ACC power input, so it should be possible to have a sleep mode...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rulk:
I am under the understanding these units use the Freescale chip as its processor.

With that in mind I suspect the lk.rom is a uboot for the system and you will likely need to use ARM debugging software to pull it apart to see what it is doing.

If you can reverse engineer this ROM file I am guessing that you will find it runs a checksum on the files prior to running them.

At this time that is WAY beyond my experience but would be where I would look.

What is in the ini file? And how big is the lk.rom file?

Just a heads up to anyone considering a NT - today only B&N are giving a $25 gift card free with online Nook orders.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] outbasket:
If you use ebates.com, you can get another 10% off rebate. To get the gift card you must charge it to mastercard. If first time using ebates you can bag another $10 B&N gift card for signing up.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
So $250 for the tablet and you will get $35 gift cards back and $25 cash back just by sign up with ebates and using a mastercard to purchase it. Good Deal. Here's a link:

http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrer...jozi1Qkw%3D%3D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] FloridaPhil:
Wonder if you can also add B&N membership online? It costs $25 but, in store at least, they take the $25 off the price of the NT. Don't know if its the same online or not.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Should be able to. Get a college buddy with membership to let you use their once a year $25 off a nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Ebates doesn't work for nook...

Just a heads up, I tried the ebates cash back and barnes & noble said the coupon code wasn't valid, which is also the fine print on ebates coupon. I did use a mastercard so I should at least get the $25 gift card.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Coupon? What are you talking about. Signup for ebates and goto B&N thru ebates website to start a ticket that records your purchase at B&N site and you will get 10% back from ebates.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
I did that, went through ebates which redirected me and when it got to the checkout it put in a code automatically generated that said it wasn't valid. I clicked on the code details and it was the 10% cash back. If I get the 10% anyways, thats cool, but at a minimum I'll get the $25 gift card.

Edit: Here's the fine print:

Special Conditions for Barnes and Noble

Exclusions: Cash back is not available on customizable gift cards, eBooks

Special Terms: The Nook is excluded from all Barnes & Noble coupon offers unless otherwise specified.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Oh wow, you're right. So Lame. :mad:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Lame yes, but the $35 worth of gift cards is still up for grabs. And, thats better than just paying $249 and getting nothing extra for it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Redemption

:D Ok, so I learned that ebates doesn't give cash back on Nook purchases. Now if you buy B&N gift cards (not customizable ones), that should qualify for cash back (8% as of now 11/30/11). B&N also has a $10 eGift card for every $100 gift card purchased promotion ($10 to be given after Christmas 12/26/11). Buy $200 in gift cards and get $20 later. You will also qualify for first ebates $10 gift card and cash back ($200 x 8% = $16). So if you're willing to wait for gift cards and cash back later, you can spend $200 and get $30 back in gift cards and $16 cash back via ebates! :cool:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ToTTenTranz:
Hi,

I have a UK Milestone with stock Froyo rooted.

I followed all the steps (flash SBF, install open recovery, etc) but when I get to the part where I'm in the Open Recovery menu and select "Apply updates", all I get is a "go back" option, even though the proper CM7 zip file is in the SD Card's root.

So what could I be doing wrong?

Can I just try it with CWM, as it worked flawlessly with my Defy and Advent Vega?

Thanks for your help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
You need to put update zip with CM7 to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates folder, not to root of your sd card.

Don't use CWM on Milestone - it is not 100% compatible with that device.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
the CM7 zip file should be on the OpenRecovery/updates folder, not on root. Then, when you go to the Apply updates option, the update.zip file for CM7 should show up on the list. Just select it and go ahead.

And no, don't ever try CWM on the Milestone, it won't work.
