A few words about rooting on 1.1.3 firmware

After most of us i update my HU upto 1.1.3 firmware and try to get "full" root via Kingo Root application.

1. Install Kingo Root (ver 1.3.0)

2. Connect android box with notebook

3. Wait to connecting and press "Root again" button

As a result, I received an installed application in android box: Kingo Root, SuperSU (Superuser.apk)

Note, that su binary in /xbin/ direcory have size a 75364 byte

After running android SuperSU was try update su binary (by normal way) but it process was failed (unsuccess) and all binary files has same size:

/xbin/su - 75364

/xbin/sugote - 75364

/xbin/daemonsu - 75364

/xbin/.tmpsu - 75364

/bin/.ext/.su - 75364

And now every time as loaded android - SuperSU offers to me to update su - binary

Today i did next steps and get new su- binary

1. Run KingoRoot on pc and connect android box as usual

2. Run mode - "Remove root" - i get result "operation failed"

3. Run mode - "Root again"

4. Reboot android box.

And i get (wow) new su binary files!!!

Now i have next files (and sizes)

/xbin/su - 125424

/xbin/sugote - 75364

/xbin/daemonsu - 125424

/xbin/.tmpsu - 75364

/bin/.ext/.su - 125424

/bin/su - 125424

And SuperSU does not offer me anything more to do with SU binary.

PS. My 2 cent in interface discussion - i use iBOLT Dock'n Drive app - very usefull and nice app
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I wonder if the fact that the stock ROM has adb shell already rooted and Kingo doesn't replace the su binary that comes with the stock ROM. Good find, I will have to try this method myself.

It does work, it needs 12V input. Per 10 mph/kmph (or 20 mph/kmph, depends on the car) it adds some ampere to the 12V signal which the NU3001 detects and raises the volume.

I have it working in my Mazda.

As i write before - "Auto Speed volume" control does work for me (subaru forester 2006) without any p-con (v-con) wires. Just checking box and set volume to max. On speed ~100kmh volume increase upto 140%
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
I tried this method several times today, but when you reroot the device it seems to reinstall the older version of SuperSU , as every time i go back into the play store after reroot there is an update available for SuperSU.

Keep in mind that i updated the SuperSU and tried a Binary update which failed before i rerooted, so the latest version of supersu was installed

I am no expert but i believe this is what is happening.

That link to the unit at near $700 is strange. They have the units for cheaper and it looks to be the same.

1GB Model: $339

2GB Model: $354

8" Model: $355

Asked Summer a few questions and got a few answers.

USB Tethering doesn't work, so must use hotspot or bluetooth tether.

Potentially an Android 5 update down the line.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Huh.. I will have to check, I am quite sure I don't have that right signal. I will need to check my shop manual to see what it is on my car.. it may not work since my car is old school ( even PRE OBD2)

So my car wiring is a square wave output into the OEM radio (4000 pulses per mile)

I wonder if that will work, as it goes faster the pulses increase
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Bit off topic but is there any way to get your ONDrive UI to work on the 8" device.

Obviously you don't want to remove the soft keys as there is no hard keys on the left but this leaves the UI unusable.

Thanks mate, really like the look of this ui and hope it is possible for the 8"

Regarding my USB storage issue not being visible in poweramp, i worked it out last night,

I had a space in my hdd label (Music Car) which was causing it not to be visible in poweramp, changed it to (Music-Car) and now all is ok. Though in the android settings - storage the usb device is still shown as 0.98gb, everything still works so not an issue

Hey guys,

i have a question to you all. Is anybody experiencing that problem when turning on the car in morning, the HU will take a long time to boot? The screen is on and the led on the android box is on as well. When i press the power button off and on after 10-15mins the screen will be suddenly there. We have around 0 degrees Celcius but in my opinion this shouldn't be a problem.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I almost have a option to autohide softkeys only con launcher.

Sounds perfect.... i will look forward to that update. getting a bit doggy driving with the stock launcher and yours looks sooooo much better
[Android Head-Units] parazit26:
i am using renedis 1.1.3 rom and mcu V33. This problem started two days ago and i can't really say if it's because of the mcu or the colder weather. I updated the mcu on friday and since sunday it's a little colder thats when the problem started. Well i can put it on the weather but 0 degrees is not that cold. hmmm
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Have you tried taking it to bed with you so when morning comes it is nice and warm??? Only joking.

Could be a lot of work but maybe take the HU into warmer area overnight then try in the morning. Then you will have your answer.
[Android Head-Units] parazit26:
yes thats what i am going to do. will let you know if i have an answer.
[Android Head-Units] rdevi:
I had the exact same problem right after updating to mcu33. Last night I rolled back to mcu31 and this morning everthing was back to normal, booted right up. Temperature this morning is -20 C here.

Can anybody help me out how to get the Android box with HU Running at home for the upgrading process?

I connect the Android box via Mini Hdmi to my TV and also by USB for Power. Then I connect the HU with the connection cable to the Android Box but it still won`t power on?

Do I also need to provide power to the HU to start it?

Which power supply are you guys using at home (of course not in the car ;) `?

Please excuse my stupid questions - I am doing this the very first time!
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
I had this problem 1 time with MCU V33. It's not the temperature. It's -1 celsius here.. This problem occurs when you let the MCU not complete the update. Please retry to update the MCU and give it some time.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I've updated to mcu33 but I don't think its been near 0 degrees since I did it and mine is booting fine. Was less than that last week though when I was on mcu31 and it also booted fine. Will keep an eye on it.

Large collection of all firmware updates found so far

Ok, I have downloaded and collected every piece of software that looks relevant to the NU3001. Included are firmware updates for version 1.0.0 through 1.0.8 (There is even a JB rom in there) and 3 versions of firmware update for the MCU.

I've uploaded them all to my Gdrive share:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8Rj01kY33P9UWl5cEsxZ21HSVk&usp=sharing

This is the same link dream Reality Syndrome posted for me earlier, there are just a lot more files to play with now.

Grabbed a couple items that might pertain to us and will add to my shared drive.

It's important for everyone to keep in mind we have the (CARPAD II P) as far as firmware updates are named but the (CARPAD II S) as the device is classified.... weird! Upside is even is there is a screwup we do have working roms that can be reflashed.

Teardown pictures of the android box

Obviously not a decently applied security seal :good:

Unit opens from the bottom, four screws under rubber plugs then the bottom panel can be popped off with a thumbnail and a little patience.

Those three screws hold on the heatsink, don't pull them out till you pull the board out unless you want mess.

Watch out for the wifi antenna cable, its direct soldered to the board and the antenna is stuck to the lid.

That's all I've got time for tonight, I'll do the h/u another day, unless someone else wants to save me the trouble.

I'm too impatient for this Aliexprerss website. Just found out they are barely printed my shipping label today!, so much for getting it by this weekend even though I ordered it 5 days ago. If they have had a unit on Amazon I would have paid express for Prime shipping.

Great pictures by the way and great tear down. If I had recived my unit I would help you out by posting other pictures. I like the effort you are putting into this. Come on other owners of this unit, lets be vocal and be productive with the unit and share everything with us. The more popular this unit get the better supoport we will get from the company.

I was hoping their ads are incorrect such as so many other stuff they advertise that we would get the 2GB of ram version...oh welll lol

This sucks ass, and would have been a deal-killer had I known about it.

Still with USB Host and USB OTG support we should be able to come up with a solution. The teardown pics don't show any evident pads to add our own mic jack.
[Android Head-Units] ficu1985:
Just use an usb microphone then you should be able to use google now
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
extra battery

I'm thinking about installing a small second battery to run this unit. I would also install a battery isolator to keep from discharging my starting battery while the car is off. Am I missing something here? Would this allow the head unit to only go into sleep mode when the car is off and therefor avoid the cold boot problem?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Problem there is that there is no support for usb microphones. We would have to at a minimum compile a usbaudio.o kernel module and possible a new kernel if loadable modules wasn't enabled in this one.

We still don't know whats in the h/u so anything is possible on mic pads. Android still isn't complaining about not having a mic which means there may be a device in there somewhere just waiting to have a mic attached.

I just sent a formal request to Anna (Seems nicer than summer) to see about getting kernel source code. Not gonna hold my breath though.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

According to (About Device) This rom was built believing it has a battery so its possible.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

The CE is built into the HU and it has its own ram. The android pad is similar to our, but it comes with 2Gb of ram, maybe that is why those units cost $100+ more than ours?

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

LOL

Nothing on the market compares to this unit, well maybe the other newsmy units but they are ugly or proprietary to certain cars or more $$$. There are limitations with this unit, but I think we can find ways around some of them.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Here I thought they built all those into KK without needing any drivers. Maybe that is why KK roms are only around 200MB, they start with the bare minimum.

I think if we all ask Newsmy, their software engineers can add the Mic kernel in there easily.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Not in KK, from what I'm reading it will be in Lollipop, but who want's to take bets on how long Newsmy will take to release Lollipop to us? :rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
You are doing it double...

Choose to get a screen on your TV via mini HDMI or HU. Not both at the same time.

You can see a green light on the android box when it's on.

But if you're only connecting to the computer to upgrade then you don't need to connect a screen at all. Just get a miniUSB cable and connect it to your computer. Remember that you need to power the android box. This can be done bij FireWire/USB/powerconnector (round plug next to the firewire).

How I did it when it was not placed in the car:

ATX computer power supply --> connect 2 12V cables to the RED and YELLOW cable from the head unit and connect ground (black) to the BLACK of the head unit.

Connect a miniUSB cable to the android box and computer.

Plug in the FireWire cable from the HU to the android box.

I update MCU to v33 yesterday and now (today) i had this problem too. Android box started (green led on), HU started (buttons lights on) but screen is black. I wait a few minures (~4-5) and rebbot AB (long touch on power button). AB rebooted but screen was black. I try multi touch on screen and i see android desktop screen but very dark. After this all was ok. But evening after long time car parking (more 2 hours) this situation was repeat. I think about to return on v31.

And i want say about another my problem - about week ago i have problem with repeatable error - "SD card was ejected". I thought it was a bad contact sd card, but I noticed that it does not depend on the shake-up of the car. Sometimes it happens and in the parking lot.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
+1 for the 'taking forever to boot' on v33 and the new ROM. Just went into the car today and experienced the same problem. The box boots up but the screen stays blank for a long time.

My head unit is actually working better with v33 MCU. No more WiFi problems . FYI my box boots at the same speed as before.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
I'm noticing that a lot of people are experiencing black screens after updating to MCU V33.

I can tell you that this has nothing to do with te wether! I also had this problem! And I get multiple PM message's about what to do.

Just let the unit turned on for 15/20 minutes. After booting, open the MCU app and check the version. If V33 is installed. It is al OK. Check radio app etc if it works... Plug out your android-box and plug it in again to let it boot.

If it then again needs 15/20 min to boot. Re-install the MCU V33 update and don't touch your HU/android box for 15/20 min!
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Same as you.... no problems at all at boot up. On debloated rom 1.1.3 and on mcu V33.

Hi all, who has HU on table :)

Please check voltage on next connector-wires (see wiki )

Block A sector 4 - wire P-CONT (blue) - Amplifier signal / Ignition 12V signal / Power antenna

and

Block C wire 3 (blue) - Antenna control

Are these wires 12 volts after HU turn ON? I connected the wire from block A to the antenna amplifier, but it seems this wire is no voltage! Radio signal is very weak. In general, radio reception is worse than stock HU. More precisely, the radio "floats" more and a lot of noise.

I played it safe and bought a SDHC 32GB card http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MBFPT44/

[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
That's what I'm looking for, a 64gb SDHC. Only problem is that most of them state that they are SDHC/SDXC, so I'm not sure which one to get. That's why I'm trying to play it safe and ask around.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
SD card

Right! According to SD specificaton, there are no SDHC cards larger than 32GB. Before buying 64GB card on ebay, aliexpress etc. make sure what type of card is this. More than 90% of these cards are fake.

I have pure Samsung 64GB SDXC card and it DOESN'T work in my unit.

I asked Summer several times to check with technicians about XC support, but have no answer on this yet.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Thanks. There are 2 people here (blacklistedcard and deeznutz1977) that have stated they have a 64GB card working with the unit. I'm waiting to see fi they can comment on which cards they have.

Something just doesn't add up. We all know that that SDXC spec are for 64GB - 2TB cards, but SDXC supposedly isn't supported with the NU3001 unless the latest 1.1.3 firmware changed things. So there are either some 64GB SDHC cards floating around and the SD specs need to be updated, the people stating they have 64GB cards are mistaken and they are 32GB, or latest firmware supports SDXC. Would be nice to also know for those who claim to have 64GB cards working, what firmware they have.
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
SD card

Knowing that chineese 64GB cards usually at reality are 8 or in best case 16 GB (8+8), I'm going to trust to SD specifications more than promises from ebayers. Even if someone will say he is using in NU3001 64GB card from ebay and knows amount of card only from label on it, it is not trusted source. There are good web page with lot of useful information from people who bought stuff from china and made reviews of them, including memory cards. Only problem is - knowing russian. But it is possible to try Google translate.

[Android Head-Units] typos1:
I was looking for a long time for a 128Gb SD card for my HuiFei unit (which also only suports SDHC). I saw lots of SDHC cards that were supposed to be 128Gb (I had thought it was possible to have SDHC up to 128Gb) and cards that sellers claimed had "failed factory testing" and could be "any size from 8 - 128 Gb", in the end though I didnt get an SD card at all - I bought a 128Gb flash drive for 23.50 GBP, pretty cheap. Maybe you could do the same ? Its cheaper and would deffo work.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
That's another option I was looking in to. The only thing is that I have a OBDII USB adapter that I would like to use. Since there is only one USB port on the Android box, I really didn't want to use a passive USB hub. That's why I was hoping to use the SD card slot instead. We'll see, might just end up going in the flash drive direction or just get a 32GB card if I can't find a 644GB card that will work.
