Hey Dave, which Firmware version did you take to update the unit? Most of the latest ones are crappy.

Take the one I mentioned in Post #147 (first link) put all files in the root folder of a microsd. Insert the micro sd into the unit and restart it by connecting the power to the unit or pushing the reset button with connected power.

If you push the reset button, the unit usually rest dark, you must push the on/off button so that the screen goes on. When a sd card with firmware is in the unit, the update should start immediatly after pushing the reset button without even pushing the on/off knob.
[Android Head-Units] design engnr:
Thanks for the response, The firmware I originally tried was 11-26-2014. Now the big problem is that I cannot get the unit to reset by pressing the rst button. I press it and nothing happens. Just a black screen. I can push every button on the front but the screen will not come on and show any part of the update procedure. I also tried putting in the sd card and then powering on the unit to hope it would enter fast boot , but nothing. Any other thoughts, I liked the unit before, i should have just left it alone. Any chance I could connect it to a PC to try and trouble shoot?
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
Please disconnect the unit

completly

from main/12v, then insert the micro sd card with the firmware in post #147 and reconnect the unit to power (both Bat+ACC 12v). If the first card reader does not work, please also try the other one. This should actually start fastboot.
[Android Head-Units] design engnr:
Just disconnected the positive and negative terminal on my battery. Inserted the SD card, reconnected the battery and turned the key on. No response from unit. Gave it a solid minute and pressed the rest button. Again nothing just a black screen.
[Android Head-Units] emarch:
Hi,

can you try the procedure described in post #133?
[Android Head-Units] design engnr:
That is the procedure I originally tried. The only difference is I used an 8GB card formatted as you said. The big issue now is I cannot get it into fast boot mode. The rst button does nothing anymore. I tried starting the unit with the SD card in and nothing as well just a black screen. I unhooked the positive and negative terminals on my battery and then reconnected them. Inserted the SD card prior to reconnecting the battery. Then turned on the key and still nothing. Does it matter it isn't a 16 GB card?

For reference the rst button did work initially when I tried to update and bricked the unit.

[Android Head-Units] design engnr:
Tobias,

You mentioned a second card reader in you last post. My unit only has the one SD slot. Could one of the usb interfaces be made to work?
[Android Head-Units] design engnr:
Well, this sure was an expensive brick. I get no response at all from the screen. However It is getting some sort of power as blutooth will activate. My phone can connect, however I get no audio and response from the display. Anyone know if I can read anything from the USB?
[Android Head-Units] emarch:
Well, I don't know if the 16GB size is important or not.

I know I had the same issue and fixed it with the exact procedure stated in post #133.

I think the reset button and the power disconnect / reconnect does the same thing.

Did you try to flash a 2.3 firmware version?

The version you can flash depends on your MCU version.

Maybe it's worth trying to flash older versions like c20140911-kk-ml or even a 2.3 one.
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
I had 2 days ago a similar issue. My unit seemed totally dead. When I did a reset, the unit did not show up anything on the screen, but the sound of the radio was present!

Many resets did not help at all.

In my car I am using a trackball that is connected to a wireless dongle to the rear usb port for easy control of the device through a mouse.

After I disconnected the usb receiver from the usb port and try a reset, the reset was successful!

So I recommend unplug everything from usb(if there is something connected there) try also connect a usb flashdrive, do a reset, if nothing is shown, try a second reset without flash drive.

You mentioned only one SD-Card reader?!? Are we talking about the same device from this manufacturer cusptech.com?

There is a slot for gps card and a second one for media on my device.

If nothing helps, also try a usb sd card reader connected to the rear usb port, and dont miss using other sd cards. I personally prefer using small sd cards(2GB) when updating to avoid any problems with these units.
[Android Head-Units] hophuong.nguyen:
This thread is extremely interesting :good:

I just bought an unit from my friend, in discovery phase, and as an IT guy, interested in upgrading firmware as well :D

I dont remember the MCU version rxactly, but the same as mentioned in cusptech website, something Aug 2013, so I just wonder:

- Which is the latest stable firmware for it?

- What' the procedure, any hi-lighting notice?

- What's the backup plan for failure?

Thanks a lot.
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
Hi hophuong,

welcome aboard.

Please check my post #147 earlier in this thread. Imho it is the most stable firmware at least in combination with March MCU but should be the same for Aug Version.

For any tricks and Hints, please take a little bit time at read the whole thread. :D

Hi tobias,

Thanks for you promptly response, appreciated :good:

I've had gone through all pages in this topic, but did expect more detail information like the following: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2660662 (don't know whether it's the same methodology for china unit or not)

At least I'm looking for some how to enter Recovery mode or Boot loader in case upgrade failure so I can do manual roll-back, did not found in any post in this topic ;(

Actually I used to play with iOS devices but getting into Android lately :D

BTW, is there a way to enter Android launcher as I can see many hidden app in Settings -> Applications?
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
Hi,

I would be very happy if I know how to enter in the recovery mode. I have already serached a lot but could not find any answer for this question. A recovery mode would be very helpful indeed. Especially backing up settings aso and recovering them after a firmware update.

These units are somehow idiot safe. So put the firmware on SD, put SD in slot, start unit with autoupdate. You should know that upgrading firmware on these units is not an ota update that keeps your data on the device. The upgrade procedure is an erasing all data batch task (in uboot I think), writing the image to the internal memory and voilà.

Regading the launcher, you can even exchange it completly. I disabled the stock one(too much bling bling for nothing) and I am using nova launcher which is really fast.

With the firmware in my post that I mentioned earlier, you got root rights, so you can use ES-Explorer for example, to browse all folders/system folders and check for saved apk.

But I recommend to avoid any apk that is written by the manufacturer, cause they are really buggy.
[Android Head-Units] hophuong.nguyen:
Hi,

Have you try those combinations of other china HU (ex: power + rst?), I havent tried yet but thought it would be the same in theory as just few hardware manufacture & probably they did not spent too much on software customization :D

Regarding pre-requisition for firmware upgrade, just reconfirm:

- 2Gb microSD into GPS slot

- FAt 32, 32K allocation size

- Any MCU version? Mine is 20131125

I prefer Recovery & Boot loader possibilities prior to upgrading because I'd not like to brick the HU for very first days :D

BTW,

Do you have specification for Factory Settings options, i just able to turn on the analog TV feature (could not scanned any channel yet :( )

Any way to standardise system volume across application (mine, it's extremely loud for radio but tiny sound for Music)

More questions coming... :p

Thanks.

Bluetooth working ??

Hi all :)

Does someone know if Bluetooth is working in any of the 4.4.x Android versions ?

If you have it working on your CUSP radio installed with Android 4.4.x, what Bluetooth-dongle are you using and do I have to change any settings in the "factory settings" on the CUSP radio to get it working ?

I need Bluetooth to connect to OBDII adapter (worked fine when it was running Android 2.3.4.)

Many regards

Blank Screen Issues

Blank Screen Issues:

Model: CP-6202 Universal Car Dvd

Original Firmware before update: MCU Aug 23 2013, GingerBread 2.3.4

Issue:

Tired to upgrade the unit from 2.3.4 to 4.0, but during the upgrade after 30sec of going through white text on the screen, the upgrade failed with a fuseboot error. Ever since that the device has never worked , merely displays a blank screen. Even if you press the rst button in with the volume control knob depressed (like you would a android phone) oddly enough the Bluetooth still shows connected on my mobile phone as "apple" when ever the car ignition is on.

Since this fatal upgrade I have followed and and all the the posts in this forum to correct the issue with no luck. I am willing to ship and pay for anyone's time who thinks they can repair the issue. I live in Kent UK , but can ship in orginal box anywhere.

What I have done since screen shows blank

I have taken a 2GB Micro Scandisk SDCard formatted from within windows and Ubuntu with FAT32.

Extracted folder "SDCARD"contents within c20140911-kk-ml_kitkat.tar to root of Scandisk Card using windows winrar and ubuntu native.

placed card in left hand SDCARD slot marked "GPS"

placed pin into RST button hole once the power to the car is turned off and on (also tried pulling the power connector our of the back of the device while holding the rst button in)

#hear a high pitch whine from speakers until rst button released, screen stays blank through all of the above actions, only indication there is power to the device besides the high pitch whine are the backlit keys are illuminate blue#

Wait for from 1 minute to 30 minutes before ejecting SDCARD from GPS slot and pressing the RST button again.

I have tried the above with a USB stick in the rear USB connector interface normally used for attached 3rd party dongles or iphones for music too with no luck. Tried to connect a laptop with a usb cable to the back conenctor and the front bottom left usb mini with no luck of device detection on laptop OS.

I have tried the following ROM/Firmware's with no luck:

c20131202_en

c20130906_en

c20131025_en

c20131202_en

c20140426-6kk-en

Wellcome to the Cusptech brick club...

Any body know how to enter in the recovery whit the key combination process? any idea will be apreciated..
[Android Head-Units] goodforallpaul:
I thought I read somewhere if you have the car ignition off or power connector unplugged from the back of the unit

then while holding the pwr/volume button down and pressing the rst button, switch on the ignition or somehow connect the power connector.

wait for 10sec to pass then release only the rst button, but keep the pwr/volume depressed.

then wait for the boot loader screen with white text to come up and release the pwr/volume button.

I know that reset button should have the same affect as switching off the ignition and or disconenting the battery terminals, but people seem to report different outcomes.
[Android Head-Units] bogotano:
In fact, I tried with this and other diferent combinations like power on+reset button+mode + etc.....without success. I thing it should be a valid combination from factory but the guys of Cusptech don´t answer this request. Yesterday I opened the unit. There is 2 diferent PCB inside. The first one is like the "mother board" and the second one is attached in to the display and, probably is the android module. It would be possible to connect one of this plates to the PC using a kind of connector or something like this?

Take a look to this video. Unfortunatly the unit is different but, could be applied the same process??

OBDII on CUSP Android Radio (4.4.2)

I've been trying for months as well with no luck on a few I already owned, as well as a generic Chinese one recommended by 'HappyShoppingLife' product support.

I was able to use a USB style adapter from OBDLink SX with the OBDLink diagostic software after some software setting changes for baud rate, etc. The OBDLink SX was available for $30 online from scantool.net. Unfortunately, the adapter is not recognized by 'Torque' app. The OBD link software has similar functionality, but does not allow for as many boost calculation methods from the MAF, but does read boost if it is available on the OBDII data stream.

I haven't tried any WIFI adapter yet due to price and concern about internet connection with my phone's wifi hotspot to the CUSP radio...
[Android Head-Units] MrNisse:
Hi, mfschoenberg

Thanks for a very good reply about OBDII/Bluetooth adapter :o

I have also tried to get the "Torque" to Work for a long time and have also been talking to CUSP support.

The Bluetooth adapter that I bought together with the CUSP dvdradio worked fine on Android 2.3.4. but on Android 4.4.2 I can't enable Bluetooth(USB), it returns to OFF after a short time.

I have been reading, that on Android 4.4.2. the way that Android is communicating with Bluetooth adapters have changed and it is important that the Bluetooth USB-dongle is based on Broadcom chipset - I don't know if that is right ??

Many regards

MrNisse :D

are you guys having problems with WIFI after the 4.4.2 update? my CUSP HU is not detecting any WIFI signal.

[Android Head-Units] goodforallpaul:
Any chance someone could upload a video of the start to finish of placing the SDCARD into the 'SDCARD' slot and pressing the reset button with what is shown on the screen in white text while the upgrade occurs, it would be real useful to know what a healthy upgrade looks like :)
[Android Head-Units] itsme1976:
Hello all.

Glad to see this thread.

Could someone publish somewhere the last MCU from CUSP? Their link on the website is not working...

The file should be 2.3.4 "Android update software-20131016_en.rar" or the 4.0.3 versie.

Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droiga:
hey everyone,

I've been running the latest build of the Hood Pope rom since Nov and i haven't had any problems with the phone. Out off the different roms and versions of a rom,this has been the best. i recently started experiencing a problem; during calls when the screen goes black the caller can no longer hear me. On the other hand, i can hear them fine. I constantly have to wake the screen with the power button, or keep the phone off my ear so the proximity sensor doesn't kick in and dim the display.

I have been searching and the only discussion similar to my problem from another site turned out to be a hardware issue. I have reset the app cache and settings. I checked the dialer app permissions but i haven't denied anything. No recently installed apps that would need dialer permissions. I dropped my phone, i believe a week or so ago, 3 1/2 ft inside my house, phone does have a case.

i don't know what else to do besides going through the ritual of wiping and reinstalling the rom. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Are you using gravity screen off....if so. Check the box for it not to work while in call. If not using this...I would reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik...if problem still persist. You need to do a fresh install. If that doesn't work. I would Odin back to stock 4.1.2 and insure its not a hardware issue...

Good luck..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droiga:
Not sure about gravity screen off, I haven't stumbled across that setting unless its hidden somewhere. As far as the rest proposed solution im holding off as last resort at this point but i fear that's the route i will have to take soon.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HighxVoltage:
Not a hardware problem.

This has happened to a number of people running earlier version of CM10.1 as well.

Try flashing the official CM10.2 nightlies. If problem still occurs, ODIN back to stock.

Not all phones will run a custom ROM perfectly, even though they are of the same device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
My bad...it could be. I have the pro version...

High voltage is right though....not all ROMs run the same. I have never had this problem with cm10.1...but I only ran it a little. But I can tell you that my boost variant hates aokp...and it makes me mad..Lol. But my galaxy tab 10.1 loves aokp...go figure...

Hope you get it sorted out...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droiga:
Good to hear that its not a hardware problem, i was afraid that minor drop might have caused it somehow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droiga:
Yea i think 3 months was long enough for me without having to wipe dalvik, i was pleased with how well the rom ran and brushed it off. But you can only go so far before something acts up that will require wiping and reinstalling something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Ya...Lol.

I think the only ROM I've ran for that long is project x..if your in the market..its a great ROM...and combined with missing link,you can theme it out.
