I had the same problem when upgrading to .96 and another user (bmj67) told me that superuser.apk doesn't always install and you might have to manually install it.

I can't post links yet (new member), but you can jump back to bmj67's response with the play store link on post #2792

This worked great for me.
[Android Head-Units] alpha1172:
So i upgraded to the latest firmware .96 It updated fine and rebooted. i performed a factory reset to start over fresh and now it sits on the android booting screen forever.

I reapplied the update with the hold down a button and boot method. no luck.

any suggestions?

is it useless now?
[Android Head-Units] B.Stromberg:
HI!

I also know that Problem.

To me Downgrading to .70 helps to bring it back to life

Factory Reset is very very risky at this Device.
[Android Head-Units] alpha1172:
I tried refreshing the previous years update.77 I think. But still no chance. I'll try. 70 later today
[Android Head-Units] shadowbob:
Thanks a lot!

Helped same as you told. flashed 70 -> rooting -> flashing 96 -> rooting.

Is it okay to place the gps on top of the Unit? I hope the magnetic does not damage the picture? This is my unit info. I did not root yet and have not test since i install late in night. Odd was, if i rise the vol pass 12, the sound seem to make those skipping noise. Not sure if my disc, speaker, or the unit. Also, I do not need to do the e-break bypass, dvd play while driving. Bluetooth works fine on iPhone 5s and contact sync. Both income and outgoing call are fine. Booting time seem to be taking long before it's on Homescreen. I have not try out the SWC cuz i'm not sure how and seem like no one willing to offer help :( well one person did. But i just don't understand what the person was saying when said connect key1 to slots? What Slots?

Vol knob is on the right and Band is on the left.

Has anyone used SiriusXM with this unit? Would you need to run it off wifi/SiriusXM app?

Upon getting root problems did not finish :(

Neither Music player pro nor Poweramp doesn't see usb hard drive.

Tried everything with Foldermount, but in vain. There are just no any folders in players and poweramp just loading...... in the field of music folder choise.

How can I downgrade the software? Should it install older FW by using the system update-function?
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
Same as upgrade. Just unzip the files of whichever system version you'd like into your external card's root.

Make sure you clear out whatever you had on your external card before as not all updates have the same number/names of files.
[Android Head-Units] shadowmike:
GPS on top of the unit ? I wouldn't risk it.. I have mine on the mounting bracket it came with. But no room around the unit anyway was a nice snug fit with just enough clearance for wires and airflow.

Update to .96, update your mcu.

You can then switch your knobs. To make volume on left and seek on right.

I have the same unit, I can not help with steering wheel controls as I have this radio installed in a 93 caprice.

Do u need access to the VSS wire for GPS to function properly with these units, or is it not necessary?
[Android Head-Units] shadowmike:
? Not sure exactly what you mean, there is a coaxial type connector for the GPS. About 10 feet of wire. I left it all in the dash on the right portion of the radio

Some cars come equipped with Vehicle Speed Sensing (VSS), it. An control the volume of the radio by raising it at high speeds and dropping it at lower speeds, however some GPS headunits require this for the GPS to function properly and for some cars tapping in to it can be a pita.

Great...Thanks!

I know you said you don't have steering wheel controls in your vehicle, but from all ive read you have vast knowledge of these units. Could I ask u a couple of questions to see if u can help me out?
[Android Head-Units] csphelps76:
no current headunit from any MAJOR manufacturer uses a vss wire anymore, they stopped that maybe 5 or more years ago...only the cheap piece of junk low end pawn shop headunits still use a vss wire
[Android Head-Units] j2gifted:
That's good to know... what about steering controls?

I see a lot of people talking about wiring to the Key 1 and Key 2 from the harness and it works just fine without an adapter. However some people have used adapters from PAC or Axxess. My question is that these adapters all have a 3.5mm plug that's supposed to plug into the radio, but these radios don't have that port. So how is it done?
[Android Head-Units] B.Stromberg:
I am not that sure which Downgrade solve the Problem. I thought it was 2.6.70........ But i also worked with 2.6.60 so maybe give 2.6.60 a try.

I think you can make much wrong anymore.

Like i said i am not 100% sure but it was the Firmware with the most single files in the zip. ( i guess 7 or 8 )

Try all if you cant send back the Unit. Nothing to loose....

Also, Development option password is 7890 not john@tw-desktop

I should have never did factory reset now the nice keyboard is gone and not sure what that keyboard was

pressing NAVI button go to something. Please help me

The reason i did a factory reset cuz after updating to .96 both system and mcu, i have an error up pop. Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.

one wire is the control wire and the other is a ground reference wire...i own a car audio shop and we do not hook up these kind of steering wheel controls, if we cant use a pac swi-rc then they dont get steering wheel controls
[Android Head-Units] alpha1172:
Cut the 3.5 off and use the wires. Or the axxess comes with the adapter. On my 2013 civic I had to use the pac, and hook up both key 1 and 2

[Android Head-Units] alpha1172:
I switched my time to not update automatically. Then it was fine. You sure you have a constant 12v on the one wire?
[Android Head-Units] cat2115:
Password

I need to double check on wiring. but all color matched. I email the seller and they told the step.

As for the time problem, please choose the correct time zone firstly.

1. change volume to 2

2. long press the disc-out button

3. you will be able to set the time zone

Also, Selling provide me with password for Extra Setting is 123456 and Development Option is 7890.

[Android Head-Units] Sopiva:
Now I have sorted out some of the problems. My stereo now keeps the radio channels which I save, but still forgets the current channel, the time and the audio settings. This only happens when I turn off the power completely from the car, and not when I only boot the stereo. The wiring should be ok, so any suggestions? Did downgrade and upgrade the FW and that helped to remember the saved radio channels.

Other question: My radio looked like this before doing any FW updates, any way to get it back? I preferred this one.
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
It sounds like your main power line isn't maintained as that is the effect I see whenever battery power is lost. There are two 12V lines into the radio. One should have power all the time (battery) and the other is switched when you turn on your car (Accessory Power). Perhaps you have these two wires switched.

As for the radio application, I think that .93 has that version you like. It can be installed manually, but you need root for it to stick. I believe you can find it in shadowmike's dropbox.
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
I've attached a copy of that radio app from .93. I too liked it better so I installed it to replace the one included with .96.
[Android Head-Units] Sopiva:
Awesome, thank you! Just one question: how do I replace the old one with this? Haven't installed it yet but how do I get radio shortcut to launch this?
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
You just need to move the .apk file into /system/app/ and overwrite the existing one. That did it for me, but this post suggests you might need to alter permissions on the file:

Just an FYI, I have the dual knob head unit. I used the 2013.1.7.MCU+2.10.6-1-10-1+system+2.12.32+root+bt mcu and it updated via the menu (Update MCU). The update went perfectly, the system rebooted and all came up perfectly. I did not get a new icon for superuser, but I do have a WIFI OBD-II dongle and before the MCU update, it wouldn't connect (said it needed root to do so) but after the update it connected to the OBD-II immediately and Torque Pro works perfectly!

One question I have is that mine is not the 4.1 pure android but is the 2.3.4(7) android. Can I update this to 4.1 or an I stuck on the 2.3.7? Is there an updated rom/mcu to bring my unite up to 4.1? If so, where is the rom/mcu?

Noob MCU question

Several noob questions. I have the unit pictured on the 1st page. I got it from here:

(no links allowed yet) ebay - CAPACITIVE-Touch-Android4-1-Universal-2Din-Car-DVD-PC-Stereo-Radio-GPS-WiFi-3G-/111284330868

seller: newdealestore2012

I'm currently running 2.6.77 and will sometime today update to 96 and have noticed there is no update available for my particular MCU which is still the original (from 2.6.60) 4.0.6-1-10-0101

I've read approx 80% of this forum & understand there may be some issues if I pick the wrong MCU to update. The last 4 digits are understood to be hardware specific & I am logically assuming the number preceding the first hyphen are relative to the version. I see that most HW has versions as high as 4.2.13 should I leave well enough alone? I would like to use the latest version possible (features & stability etc.)

Also, one day my amps stopped switching off (remote wire is connected to a relay) and coincidentally the antenna no longer retracts (when power down head unit) Does anyone have any insight on this, or have similar issue?

I have a ZTE MF190 (3G usb modem) with a T-Mobile SIM card and the unit tells me (something like) cannot search for networks? I understand the hot swapping thing and normally dont connect/disconnect anything while powered on.

When I install an apk (usually side loaded) what are the pro's/cons between "install to SD & install to system" other than available space?

Thank you. Mike

I'm also interested in updating my MCU. My firmware version is 2.6.96 but my MCU version is 4.2.5-1-10-2101. Does this mean that I should update using 4.2.13-1-10-2101 out of all the zipped files from the MCU 2.6.96 folder from the repository? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Never mind. Found it in the thread. Answer is yes. :)

Major issues booting

Hi guys and girls,

Only new on here, but a mate purchased one of these stereos, He was using it and had a play with the GPS software and all went down hill after that. The unit is stuck in a boot cycle and sits on the Android screen and wont progress past that point.

I am not sure what files he deleted but obviously a system file of sorts.

I am new to these myself and have tried, MCu, Firware, etc. I have the unit on my desk know trying to get operational for him. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank

That appears to be an exact match. You can also go through "Choose Model" under extra settings and in all likelihood it will install that MCU.

Folders on usb storage

At one of my firmware updates (I beleive when I went from .62 to .70 but not entirely sure) the naming of the media had changed. This might be (part of) your issue. It changed from (as documented on the 1st page of this thread)

USB memory sticks are mounted at "mnt/usb/sda1", "mnt/usb/sdb1" etc.

to "mnt/storage/usb1-1" I only have one usb stick, but can speculate a second stick would be "mnt/storage/usb2-1" and a stick with multiple partitions would be "mnt/storage/usb1-1" "mnt/storage/usb1-2" "mnt/storage/usb1-3" but I have not verified this last statement. Good luck.

TV App

Anybody know of a good TV app on GooglePlay or wherever to make use of DVB-T or even analog TV? I've tried all the "com.tw.tv_f39c" apks from KID52's and Shadowmike's file repository and can't seem to get the steering wheel control Prev/Next to work with it. I've updated my MCU to the latest version and it fixed this issue with the radio app, but not with the TV. Wouldn't mind using a different TV app as the stock is kind of ugly anyway. Unfortunately, all the apps I've tired only work with USB DVB-T antennas, so I keep on getting no hardware attached messages. Others work with specific hardware or are wifi streaming TV apps.

Any help would be appreciated.

Where are you located ?.

I really wish I could help, but I have very little knowledge of the entire steering wheel buttons.

I'm in the US (Cleveland, Ohio) and we have digital, but in a format these units don't come in. I was just wondering, if I could use a digital converter you see at Wal-Mart and hook that into the radio, theoretically it should work.

Could anyone who uses the tv feature let me know of this will work .

AN-21 DEV www.dropbox.com/sh/j6lx4vkoqcm6kow/MDs6vhsuHG
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
I currently live in Sofia, Bulgaria and the digital broadcasting standard in Europe is DVB-T. I know that for the US it's ATSC and in theory converter should work. Some sellers do offer ATSC modules, but you have to ask when purchasing the stereo. The other option is just to purchase a separate digital TV box that comes with ATSC and connect it to the stereo.

As for SWC and the TV app, I think there is an Android bug, at least for my unit. I previous had a dual WinCe and Android unit where the same TV app was for the WinCE part and everything worked.

Can someone else who also has this app with their digital/analog TV confirm if they are having the same issue? Maybe I'll just ask the seller if they can talk to production about this if I'm not the only one with this issue.

flight recorder -> dash camera recording in background

Since this unit comes with 2 video input, one is for back up camera, another is for front camera. I am wondering if we can connect the other video input (possible with audio L/R) as well, to serve as a dash camera (or flight recorder), we can put the camera at the rear-view mirror location, and the app records the video in background and it automatically delete the old recordings to save space etc, so just in case for accident, we have the video recorder....
