Not clear what you mean. You shouldn't be "opening" the recovery image at all (assume you mean on the computer?).

Download the file. Move it to your fastboot folder (wherever fastboot.exe is located). then type the command.

Do you have the Windows option on to hide file extensions? Does the file have ".img" at the end of the file when its downloaded?

ARHD is designed to work with a firmware 2.22.xxx.xx. If you are below it needs more than 5 or 10 minutes to boot up and you won't see the boot splash.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sennalonso2013:
so is there nothing to do about this problem,or do i have to wait that long evrytime i restart my device??
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sennalonso2013:
Anyone please
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You could revert to stock and either wait for the OTA to arrive, or S-Off to be abled to flash the latest firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sennalonso2013:
My m8 is S-OFF.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Then you can flash a firmware version 2.22.xxx.xx and re flash your custom recovery afterwards.

When you have done this ARHD should boot normally, as the long boot time is cause by the outdated firmware version 1.xx.xxx.x
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Then just do there (post contains link to instruction on flashing firmware): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54408500&postcount=9592

Or just flash a 1.xx based ROM. Any 2.xx based ROM will give you the same issue.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

How did you end up flashing the ROM? I've seen some other folks have had issues with TWRP not seeing the ROM zips on the removable SD.

I would have used adb push to put the ROM on the internal memory.

[XDA Assist] PulseDroid:
Hello [MENTION=1028237]emppu[/MENTION],

I can't seem to find any threads on XDA with your device, I found this however: [RECOVERY][ROOT][ROMS][MODS][Other] Vodafone Smart II/Alcatel V860/MTC 962 although this is for the Smart II the people there would possibly be able to help you - so ask your question in that thread.

If you are able to get into recovery mode there might be a option to update from SD Card, if so, just copy the firmware to the root of your SD and give it a shot.

Cheers! :cowboy:

What are the pros nd cons to use a HU with android and winCE?

Is there a reason why to use winCE instead of a Pure android HU?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Pure Android HUs have to cold boot each time the car is turned on (I don't understand this, certainly a tablet with a battery in airplane mode could last for many days without affecting the battery of a car, so I don't get why a HU can't be left in this state vs completely shut down) and startup time is way too long. The WinCE units are set up that way because they actually run Android in a virtual machine on CE and just suspend the VM when the HU is powered off. CE can start up in a couple of seconds and so your time to operation of Android is a fraction of cold booting every time. This sounds like a mess to me and I'm really only interested in a pure Android HU. From what I understand the Chinese companies have engineers working overtime to reduce Android boot time and some have it down into the 15-second range.

N.b., I've been unable to buy the one mentioned in the original post. Both websites are broken and companies don't responde to mail.
[Android Head-Units] jindoseg:

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Were you able to get any info about subwoofer connections? My car has a factory sub and I couldn't find how you would tie it in. The seller told me it is connected through a "voice output cable". Do you know what that means?

It seems like a pretty nice unit from specs. It's the reliability that concerns me the most -- with no online reviews to be found. I am also a little concerned about that touchscreen volume control. Seems like it could be a PITA.

thanks for sharing.
[Android Head-Units] niraviry:
Which car you own. I am looking for a solution to my Skoda Yeti 2013. I had a chineese WinCE unit from the local dealer but I have returned it as the FM receiver was super crappy and the BT hands free worked only half of the time.

The issue still open for me is the quality of the FM radio although one can use the Android H/W to listen to radio through the internet. Not sure how fast would that change stations.

I was looking the Mistui FM receivers but I am not sure what is the exact model and thus that is the sensitivity.

Some Mistui receivers are pretty good ones.

All solutions that are not original VW do not have any support the the dual antenna with the built in diversity control. On the other hand most of the cards do not have such an implementation and radio still works fine.
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
yes. That's another concern of mine -- radio reception. Seems like it should be the simplest part, but I am constantly hearing about poor radios on these units.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Well, it's ordered. I opted for the 3-day SHL shipping and then noticed after I had paid them that "processing time" is 30 days.

The whole thing stinks like a scam, but I guess we'll see. It'll either be here in a week or in five weeks.
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
I just noticed that the aliexpress add says this: "Newsmy android 4.4 quad core car dvd 7 inch for univeral Android only (without DVD, bluetooth,NU3001)" Do you think that means that it doesn't have bluetooth? Surely not.

Also it looks to me like the guaranteed delivery time is 30 days. I bet you'll get it much quicker than that if you chose DHL.
[Android Head-Units] pinpinade:
Hello ! i just received my carpard and installed it in my mazda xedos 9.

I got this from Anna Lui.

It's a nice unit, but the lack of mixer is so bad...

Do you know if it's possible to get some Basic RIGHT/LEFT fader app ?

Also i think the microphone is not working... i can't get any sound recording when using the defaut app :(

Is your microphone working ?

But if think that this unit is really good !
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Wow you guys make me miss my fader control on my current HU. I never change anything and just kept it at center or the default. Is this unit experiencing bad accoustic thanks to the lack of fader/mixer?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Yeah I have to say I really don't get all the whining about balance and fader controls. I'm pretty sure that, aside from maybe playing with it in a new car for a minute, I have never, ever felt the need to use either of those. My last car's Bose system had neither. To be sure, this unit has four speaker outputs and a 4-channel (4x25W) amplifier chip.

I also don't really relate to the complaints about (lack of) RDS. Where I live the radio is ****, so I never listen to it., but priusfan already showed that it's possible to edit a file and put the names of the stations into the presets. Aside from that I don't see much benefit.

It's interesting that (aside from my problem with the touchscreen that the folks at Newsmy have solved) there are 20 pages to this thread and not a single comment or complaint about what makes this unit special: that it's the only pure Android kitkat HU on the market, and it fits a 7" screen into a double-din chassis (it's also arguably the only universal Android HU that isn't ugly as a mud fence). Seeing as there are no complaints or comments about that part of it, I'm going to guess that I was right in my original post: this is the Android HU everyone has been wanting.

I wonder if it's too soon to start bugging them about a Lollipop upgrade?
[Android Head-Units] m3co:
So wen can we see a "real" video review by one of you guys?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
My car is kind of a freak, and I've had to order a harness adapter and dash kit from the UK. It should arrive next week and once it's installed I plan to do a full and detailed review.
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
I don't see why anyone would need balance and fader controls. But the lack of crossover settings, time alignment and a dedicated sub volume could be a problem for people with aftermarket sound systems. I'll be fine since I'll be running another head unit for this purpose, but I don't see why someone couldn't develop an app to do these things. Any persons interested should make the request from the XDA community
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Possible balance controls?

Hey, if this is already rooted would Viper4Android work for audio effects and balance? Wouldn't give us a fader, but balance and a good eq would be nice. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

Anyone who has received theirs already feel like giving this a try?
[Android Head-Units] stevil30:
20 pages and noone has asked or stated how quickly this unit becomes operational after you turn the car on... does it completely shut down when the car is off or just sleep? how soon from turning the key in the ignition till you have music playing?
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
I was reading up on this app earlier in the day and it has a lot of functions, just never used it myself. Well just installed the app, no options for fader, unless I'm blind

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

I have not seen one android HU that goes into sleep mode when the keys are out. That might require an internal battery or a small draw from the car battery. Most likely it will just turn itself off. Someone reported it turning on around the 20-30 seconds range.

---------- Post added at 03:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

The only thing that worry me is the 1GB of Ram, there other units come with 2GB of ram. This might hinder our performance if they ever update the box to android L

[Android Head-Units] genius312:
I posted a thread some weeks ago about this unit with lots of pictures and explaination about the unit a android box.

I stopped my researching after i never got answer about the unit if it is rooted or if we can do it, and when i asked what was the engine driving the android box.

The hu cannot be only a screen since there is radio antenna, speakers, etc connected to it.

Something has to drive these thing and have a driver installed.

So i asked what is the hu operating system ? Wince, Linux, ... ?

Never got answered so i started to worried about these hu.

I have a friend which is selling radio for car but do not have real android hu yet.

i will be his tester :p

I was about to buy a klyde unit seeing they have less problem the kgl. .. but was still worried.

These newmsy are manifactured by newmsy and they are using there own part which is better then the other companies like klyde snd HuiFei.

Whats really important for me is:

- good radio signal that starts fast when cat starts

-good gps reception

-good mic to be able to talk hands free on the phone

-obd with blutooth

- good amplifier quality. I do not have subwoofer so this is good, but i do have great pioneer speakers.

-music from phone by bluetooth with good sound quality.

Radio rds is a plus but really not a deal breaker for me.

As for sub out.

balance and fade is missing, but since there is plugs for all the speaker, this might be eventually fixed.

Anyone sees problem with my needs ?

Thank you,

Martin L.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 AM ----------

They manufacture from tablets to phones. That gave me the confidence that they will eventually update our box to android 5.0. Their ways are unconventional with HU so hopefully that is a good thing for us. Ill answer all your questions as soon as i get it. Which looks to be next week.?
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Just read through 20 pages of this thread, twice. I'm still as confused before as I was the second time. There seems to be a lot of different information (and of course the usual off topic posts).

For instance :

who is buying it from whom and where and for how much?

Sub out? Working / not working?

Rooted or not?

I'd like to order one of these myself to tinker with. My main concern is the best place to order from ...price and shipping wise?

The rest of the questions I can find out when I get one and maybe then I can enter in a FAQ post for everyone else that comes here.
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
bought mine direct from Anna at Newsmy for $400.50 delivered in 5 days. I have not yet installed it or even powered it up. I hope to get that done this weekend. So I guess the only info I can provide at this time is price paid.

Sorry
[Android Head-Units] Ekki_221:
No, it is not easy as this!

The Newsmy features Dual Bluetooth + WLan and therefore has to undergo strict radio compliance tests for a legal import. For the EU, nearly all(!) required certificates are missing and this can lead to confiscation, if controlled by customs.

If you order such a unit directly from China in the EU and actually receive it without customs hassle, this is just because the required certifications did not get checked by customs.

So maybe in the Netherlands they are not as strict as in Germany, but ordering such devices here directly from China is a risk. My Qualcomm smartwatch got almost confiscated by customs and it is nearly impossible to import a Pebble watch exactly for the same reasons. Hundreds of watches got confiscated / sent back because of missing/uncorrect radio compliance and CE certifications.

I rather pay a bit more and order from a trustworthy reseller in Europe and have additional warranty than have above risks and hassle again.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Seeing how my unit has physical buttons, that do the same as the lower navigation (?) Bar onvthe screen, that has the vol up/down/home & clock, is there any way to permanently turn that off? And just have the upper notification bar only ? Or is the only option I have using gmd soft key hide app?

[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I purchased from Summer and mine was in a newsmy outer box and an inner white box. I have a the red android text on "the brain" which I think means its 2GB.

The fake issue I'm a bit sceptical of in that yes, China is known for fakes but it still takes time to manufacture them. What's more likely is that there is a market for units that have failed testing in some way and/or newsmy don't necessarily manufacture all the components themselves, just assemble them and its the 3rd parties who are making additional units and supplying them.

To be honest though I'm surprised the devs of these type of units aren't all over the forums like this to see what the users are asking for.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I know I'm getting ready to come across an ass. But I'm pretty used to it. so here goes.

/Rant

This is a developers site. This unit is the perfect fit for developers who want a head unit. I (and many others) have stated many times in this thread, that the AN-21U and HuiFei units are better 'out of the box'. The hardware in these units is decent, but the software is very immature. The luck of getting Source Code makes this a device full of potential.

But that potential will only be realized when everyone quits *****ing about what the software won't do, and grab a keyboard and start figuring things out. [MENTION=6095496]red13dotnet[/MENTION] has his code posted on his github. All of my work is on my github. I've got AOKP booting now, just working on getting various drivers to work as I have time. Some of you that have more familiarity with the linux underpinnings could make this go a lot faster.

To those that are actively working on the Wiki, and various theme/mods. Thank You! Contributions come in all forms. But at the end of the day, remember that XDADevelopers was named for a reason.

/Rant
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Not to play Devils Advocate here but, what support?

Has anything we've requested been implemented?

Has she put us in direct contact with a developer?

Has she offered substantial discounts to "new members" coming here looking to purchase?

Has she done anything but change our wiki (that a few members have worked hard on keeping updated) and supply a few cursory answers to some generic questions?

I think, until we see ANY of those we should do as we see fit.

Quid pro quo as it goes.....

If someone can find a cheaper unit else where, why should they purchase a unit directly - under the assumption that it's legit - from Summer directly?
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm, okay, mine sounds very similar, came in a brown box (cant recall if there was writting on it) white box inside, with the reject if seals broken, and then the ssame brain as yours (which I ordered the 2gig model, haven't confirmed that, been to focused ontop just trying to get things to work with the unit) so I may have a legit unit, everything looks ghr same as whag people have posted, aside from the unit being vw specific.

---------- Post added at 07:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

I do agree with this, until we actually see some if our requests made, then wwhy should we bend over for them? Its a two way street, if they fix the issues we forward and make attempts go listen, aside from a sales Rep then sure, lets advertise as they wish to an extent.

I just have some small doubt that our requests will see the light of day.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
With the source code the Android part is easy, its the MCU, how it interacts with Android and the functions it allows that may cause problems, what will really help these units is Newsmy implementing some basic features into the MCU ASAP (like a GPS voice setting to allow using GPS with radio/music) or someone getting the source code for the MCU and XDA users implementing them.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You don't need MCU code for this. Completely doable within the existing Android code. If there were more of us trying to do this, it might go faster.
