Has someone tried this update.zip on an ENCO B-046 ?

I don't want to brick it....of course it looks VERY similar to the eway product with the menus and all, but you can never be too careful, right ?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_za:
I wouldn't recommend it. Loaded the wrong ROM once and lost the touch screen. UI and everything looked exactly the same as mine but obviously the hardware had slight differences.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchuillier:
Yep, I remember your troubles back awhile, that's why I'm asking.

If painbreak could have a look at the contents of the update.zip and confirm it can go on our devices it'd be great

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_za:
Yeah, I was lucky to have gotten the proper file from the supplier else it would have been pretty much bricked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilord:
yeah if you have the enco as opposed to the eway, i'd definitely check the contents before running... they appear to have used painbreak's framework to fix the original speed issues in gps, so at least that file is the same, but who knows about the rest.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilord:
Forgot to ask... probably the wrong thread for it... I haven't seen any videos showing it...

Do the steering wheel and on-unit buttons pass through to the nav side? Like if you run pandora from the android side can you track skip and pause from the steering wheel or the hard buttons?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchuillier:
AS far as I've checked the only buttons active in adroid mode are the volume and they change the master volume, so i'd say that no they don't go on android side.

But perhaps it's more car related than device...on my E46 BMW it does not work in any case.

About the update from the eway devices could someone extract the GPS time mod and patch it on our old update file ?

I really need this GPS time fix, I'm scared to **** my device by installind the update from eway and I don't know coding enough to do it myself...

Bottom line is that I'm screwed :)

thanks for the help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilord:
could you repost links to the enco update? I could download both and compare, but i need something to start with for comparison (i haven't ordered mine yet, still deciding between distributors and whether to wait for the capacitive screen unit that eway alluded to)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchuillier:
Hello,

Thanks for the help

Here's the link to the first update.zip that was provided http://dl.free.fr/elC6D2zsd

On top of this we also had the modified framework.jar and the root code, do you need these ? I can email them as they are very small

To be honest I cannot recommend this unit as it is now.

It takes 2 full minutes to boot, the screen is complete ****, the wifi works when it wants (i suspect the complete android USB port to be questionable), the technical and customer support does not exist (at least from szenco), play store won't let you install all programs (trapster for example) and now on my unit the screen flickers....great...

Basically it's an ALPHA product (not even beta) and the poor idiots who've bought it are doing the debugging for them without any support from them.

There are so many bugs in this unit that it's hard to know where to start from but the GPS speed, the time issue, the fact that Igo does not remember the settings, i can't understand why a PC motherboar can remember the time with a CR 3025 battery and this unit can't....

As I said before it's not finished and I doubt a capacitive touchscreen would help beyond solving only the display issues....

Basically we should work on putting a nexus 7 in there and link it with CAN and be done with it....

Thanks again for the help on my GPS time issue
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamui157:
Here here!

I can't recommend the unit either. This is why I went to the Appradio 2. I only needed a HDMI in, my Note 2, and a way to control the phone using the HU screen (ARliberator).

The radio itself is stupidly basic,and it's got some of it's own issues but the phone output plus controlling from the screen opened up everything. At the moment, it's cheaper than the ENCO unit too after rebate.

I wouldn't buy another "across the pond" headunit until I'm there touching everything to make sure it works first.

Hi Guys,

I need some help getting my unit rooted. I have a unit similar to swjpilot, but mine wont see my sd card. I downloaded and coped the update to the sd card, making sure it was formatted with sdformatter before I copied the file. Whenever I put it in it says sd card damaged. It says this with 5 different sd cards. Even brand new ones. furthermore, if wont see /sdcard. and if I copy the file to /mnt/sdcard and try to update, it reboots, then just shows the android with the exclamation mark. Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchuillier:
Nope, it seems to be the right procedure.

did you try to use es explorer, with FTP and send the files to the unit like that ?

You never know you might be lucky.

I had to move some files to the unit with dropbox (you can access your dropbox it with es explorer also) in order to install them.

Of course it was already rooted....

Good luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brain26:
Thanks. I used google drive to get the update unto the unit. I then copied it to /mnt/sdcard. but for some reason it still wont install the update (android exclamation). Did I copy it to the right path?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilord:

there are 3 or 4 different distributors, and each distributor's models seem to have slightly different internals

Let me know if this helps. maybe the update.zip that you guys are using is different for me?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilord:
That one does look cool!

But it looks very different :)

Definitely don't run the update.zip... the hardware in yours may be similar, but i'm pretty sure things will break for ya.

you may be able to take what others have done, maybe rip apart the new update.zips and compare to what is in one from your distributor to get some useful improvements.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilord:
took a look at the update.zip you sent vs the one from eway... theirs is the full OS, while yours is just an update... and it doesn't include a boot image.

I also don't see an old update.zip from the eway people, so comparison is hard :)

i can poke around a little more, but will see if there's anything useful i can find in here...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilord:
Looked at asteroid smart and appradio 2 and eway/enco... appradio 2 was the cheapest (got it for $350, with a $120 rebate on top of that), and i can (very) cheaply upgrade the hdmi phone behind it by just buying one from ebay... maybe i'll change my mind when the eway/enco cleans up its act a bit or when the asteroid gets android 4 and google nav and so on. No steering wheel or hard buttons on the enco in android is kindof a showstopper for me... not going to look at the radio every time i want to change tracks.

thanks for pointing out the other options!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derpderpy:
From a cursory comparison, it would appear that the important change in the EWAY update.zip is a different version of \system\lib\hw\gps.tcc892x.so

This is the driver for the GPS module.

I should be able to test this tomorrow on the Enco and see if it makes any appreciable difference.

Also, it does not look as if they've used my framework.jar. They may have performed the same "fix" that I used, but the framework.jar is different than mine, when doing a binary comparison.

Here's just the .so:

So I decided to open up the thing, soldered a USB cable to it and tried to connect to the computer. The LED light (Power indicator, I assume) lights up but nothing happened on the PC end, no matter if I powered it up with the button pressed, or depressed.

Android boottime

Hi all

I have the same unit as Brian26, that is also rooted and working fine.

The only thing that has bothered me is the rather lenghty android boot time (2 min) and i now think ive found why it's behaving like it does.

It seems like the unit isn't making a clean shoutdown of the TCC8925 board.

It simply dosent give it a headsup to andoid what is about to happen before the power is cut.

Ive found a simple temp fix around this, that took my boot time down to roughly 30 sec, from coldstart.

Download any program that can do a system shutdown. ( I use Automateit)

It shutsdown in a blink and i can thereafter pull the ignitionkey.

I know this isnt a great solution and that you have to go to the android side and shut it down manually everytime before pulling the key. But before anyone comes up with an solution how to make the radio board talk to the android board to shutdown before the power is cut, this is as good as it gets.

Another possetive sideeffect from this that you SD card dosent get corrupted on every unnatural powercut and is mounted in a flash compared to the 15 sec mount error check, that happens when the power is cut without proper shutdown.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr00ven:
Whats's wrong?

Ok,

If you havent rooted your device you need to do so first, to be able to make a softwarebased shutdown.

1. Create a userdefined trigger rule in Automateit that is connected to a shutdown action.

2. Use a widget from automateit and assign this widget to the rule just created.

Now if everything is everything is setup correctly, the andoidside will shutdown immediately when pressing it.

You can try fastboot oem rebootRUU and then fastboot flash zip firmware.zip. That might help.

That means the sig is broken. Where did you get the file from?

Can you boot into bootloader and just check which version you're on?

Should be 2.15 at this point... if lower you could try the 2.31 RUU.

--- edit

usually you should enter the full name of the zip file you're using. There is more but I have to search... It's got to do with 'update.zip' on sdcard, stock recovery and straightly booting into restore or sth similiar by pressing power and holding vol down. I don't remember exactly.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatbridge:
Last week I was given a new, boxed SGS2 model GT-I9100G, running ICS 4.0.4, purchased in China. Much of it I can use, after setting it to UK English. However, all the important high use apps. refer to the Chinese national equivalents, and it appears to be linked to the Chinese app. store. So, no Google, no YouTube, no Twitter, no FaceBook and so and none of the obvious European email providers etc.

My local service provider pointed me to a site, with the name androidauthority, as a way of (hopefully) installing a European version of ICS 4.0.4: However, as a new user I am prevented from giving a link to this location (!), so could I ask somebody here with the necessary knowledge to tell me if there is going to be a safe procedure for replacing the Chinese system in my phone with a European equivalent, with a reasonable chance of success?

The questions that come to mind are such things as:

1. This procedure does not appear to require me to have acquired root privileges. Can it work as 'non-root' user?

2. Is the handset as secure after the change as it was before?

3. How much of ICS is replaced by this procedure?

4. Does ICS imply a kernel too? Or is it just an operating system on top of the kernel. If the latter, won't the kernel need changing too, from a Chinese version to a European version?

5. If there is a black screen of death after this procedure, what should I do, in aditional to wailing, throwing myself on the ground or banging my head forcefully against a wall?

By the way, I have purposely held off putting any useful data on the handset before I have solved the language-version issue, so I don't have any back-up/recovery issues (do I?)

Having read a little on this forum, I notice that there does not seem to be a version of CF-root for my handset. 'About phone' gives me a kernel version of 3.0.8-1067026. This version name doesn't seem to match any of those in the list of downloads elsewhere on this forum - it contains no alpha characters for example. 'About phone' also tells me that I have something called 'Baseband Version' - identified as I9100GZCLPL. What is this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Okay, here we go:

0) You really should check if your device is authentic. You are mentioning apps restrictions (In the

about the phone

section tag, does it says "Android Version 4.0.4"?) and apps country related (might be chinase carrier bloatware).

1) You can flash a new ROM (Euro Version for example) via Odin (no Root) or via CWM (Root required).

2) Flashing is all about changing operating systems, If you choose the right ROM for YOUR device, and you FOLLOW instructions given, it's safe.

3) ICS versions comes in 2 ways, Branded (Carrier Bloatware) & Unbranded (No carrier bloatware).

4) ICS package comes with ROM, Modem and Kernel. You can look it up each of them so you'll get familiar with these terms.

5) Don't think about that, should be fine.

6) No worrys about data, this is a system flash, not a SD Card flash.

7) You can follow many guides here on XDA to root your device.

8) Baseband is related to Modem. Network for your country / region.
