Basically, I get the boot screen for XDAuto... then those wonderful dancing balls - and it just freezes there.

Prior to this wonderful event, I powered up the car, when the Newsmy loaded - all the apps started FC'ing and crashed the box and HU

Definitely think I have a brick...

used reset button to bootloader (green light in RKBatch)

-flashed XDAuto, Tutaura, and stock

-all failing on RKBatch flash

I cannot ADB into the device (device not found)

any thoughts or am I truly a brick???
[Android Head-Units] txb142:
I actually have the service manual pdf (steering wheel schematic attached) and yes indeed they are resistive buttons. The only issue with direct wiring is that at least one other car feature uses the steering wheel controls besides the car radio. (Onstar) While I'm not using Onstar yet I'd like to at least keep it as an option and controllable via the steering wheel.

I'm taking a look at the site and and I'm not sure if the audio system is "factory non amplified" or "non-digital factory amplified". I bought the car used (Only 5000k miles :cool: ) so I'm not really sure. Is there an easy way to tell without ripping out the radio?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
These units are pretty hard to brick. A Brick is non-booting, non-recoverable device. People often use the term brick for something that they can't get to boot, but in reality it's not a hardware issue that is preventing the boot up, it's software (I prefer the term soft-brick).

If you are able to get to the boot-loader, and even boot up to the boot-animation, then I don't think you have a brick, you've just got some software issues to resolve. While I don't have any quick/easy answers, I think using RKBatch and Restoring the stock or xdAuto images should get you back up and running.
[Android Head-Units] kingamra:
Alright... Ill be a soft brick.. It is certainly a pain in the ass as if it were a Viagra brick... Not sure if I should have used those references in same sentence tho...

Next steps I'm going to download original ROM... 1.1.3 factory and see if that takes..

I've also put the IMG file on the SD card to flash that way... But it never booted into the automatic update mode as described in wiki...??

I'm going to attempt all of above with a different puter also... Just for fun..

My concern this is a hardware issue is how I crashed to begin with... It seems like I have a corrupt hard drive/flash memory or what ever where the ROM is stored area... Or corrupt RAM... I've had something similar happen years ago with windows and a bad memory stick...

[MENTION=222011]Zaphod[/MENTION] - haven't had a chance to get the Lego stuff from baidu either... Work really gets in the way of life sometimes...
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Soft bricks, viagra, pains in the a$$. Sheese. I'll just let that go.

I get that it's frustrating. And I guess it is theoretically possible that you have some type of memory failure, but there is enough checksum and memory verifications during the write process, that I would expect you to get some errors during the flash in RKBatchtool. I assume you are doing this at desk/bench with just the android box plugged into computer? I'm also super confused as to how you are getting to boot ani without ADB firing up. Have you tried re-downloading the various img files? possibly a bad/corrupt download?

Work getting in the way of life .... Don't even get me started. As soon as I start talking about how busy I am, [MENTION=3159413]usafle[/MENTION] chimes in about my excuses.
[Android Head-Units] kingamra:
I tried everything from stock (from bocky gdrive) tuatara ROM and a few versions of xdauto. I'll redownload and try again (no I never md5 checked).

I found the adb strange also.. If rkbatch can pick it up so should adb... I'll have to redo what am doing... Maybe it's me and I'm screwing up (that's what the ex always said anyway)

USB to computer for power... Mini HDMI to TV... SD card both in and out on flash attempts...

Is there a way for force .IMG install from SD card? I couldn't get that image to go either..

Feel like I'm missing something simple

I won't have time to play until tomorrow sometime...

I'll take a play in the life whine... Surgeon and single dad and breaker of electronics... Its the last one that causes me most stress... Gave up on sleep and adopted wawa coffee... Hahaha..

Thank you as always zaphod!

NU3001 - HDMI Digital Audio Output

I can find the rca to hdmi convertor for the part of radio, phone, aux and oso the hdmi switcher that swap to most recent switch inputs that should resolve your mentioned issue. Output of this hdmi switcher can then be converted to whichever optical or spdif converter to have digital inputs to any processor as I intended to use it with. Make sense ? I am planning to use the pending purchased NU3001 for post processing by Alpine H900 process for time aligned, cross over etc.

"amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049...?ie=UTF8&psc=1"

This switcher is reportedly to have resolved even well known issue of Apple TV that remains active and hence usual switchers do not work. It switches to latest or newest input regardless of current input

Rca to hdmi converter to handle radio, phone, aux etc. that is not from the main android brain ....the mcu part of analog output

I got a question about rooting in the wiki point/step No. 7 states that Download replace Kinguser with SuperSUv2.5 may I know why this is done? After using KingoRoot the device stated that root granted
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Hello,

Is there a way to replace 7" interface (screen and the touch glass) with the 8" one?

In short, I have NU3001, but I want it to be a 5002. Is it possible to make that just by replacing the screen.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Thanks for checking. If shutting down Waze and waiting for storage to mount I seem to be OK. Testing the Waze 4.0 beta as well and behavior in this regard with the latest release seems better.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

I would definitely root the unit, if I were you. After rooting install GPS Test from the Play Store and do a Clear AGPS and Update AGPS. Then install Tasker and create the following task:

Tasker:

Profiles > Device Boot > "Boot"

Tasks > Boot > 1. Get Location (GPS, 100 seconds);

I always have an immediate fix. Also, the sticker on the back side of my GPS receiver came off in the heat, but I have even better reception ever since. I have glued the receiver to the top left corner of my windshield with double-sided tape.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Note I added a link to the wiki for the stock 1.3.7 Carpad NR ROM download (don't have the NU file) as well as the bluetooth update. No change logs, but I can say that installing the bluetooth update did not break anything as far as I can tell. ROM 1.3.7 needed to install bluetooth update.

Also Nesmys are on sale (slight sale - $333 US for NR3001) at the new official store (Sindy Liu is the contact there, Summer is apparently a colleague ) but also shipping via DHL to US/Canada is reduced by ~$20 US! http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pure...-1024-600-resolution-super-HD/2039206890.html

Sale ($7 off) only applies on mobile site.
[Android Head-Units] Ekki_221:
Hi,

no I also have the 7" NU3001 Version, but I might upgrade to the bigger Version.

By the way the 8" NU5002 is now also available at the spanish Webshop Exclusivecarauto.com. I can recommend them for european customers, I ordered my NU3001 there and it took only about a week to arrive without any additional customs costs / hassle. Very friendly and reliable seller...

Ok, that means there is no solution yet for voice commands. :crying:

Not sure if physical Buttons and resistive "Buttons" are directly compatible.

Ok, so that means that the 2GB android box would also work with the 7" NU3001. Has anyone asked summer if the 2GB Android box is available separately and how much it would cost?

Ekki
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
You've got me wrong. I have no problems with IBM Traveler. It sync like charm and put all the contacts into native device address book too. Problem is within making calls from that address book.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
So I'm about to hit the buy button on the NU3001 and get it shipped to the uk. I asked Summer whether there was a carpad 2s coming for my 2009 Ford Mondeo and she said there wasn't. So is there anything else I need to check and as I have never bought anything from AliExpress before and this is a reasonable size of first purchase.?
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
I ordered my NU3001 from Summer at aliexpress. Package was at local Latvian customs after two !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! days. It was incredible :victory:

According to customs, there are ways how to minimize it. Talk to Summer about it. She knows now :)

Of course, there are still question about warranty. Spanish reseller have to provide 2 years warranty and it is more user friendly shipping inside EU than to China.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
She initially only asked me if I had received unit and everything was Ok, fit, etc. She then stated that they had 'heared' I had opened the carpad and if if they could know the reason. My guess is they are worried that either 1) We are somehow interested in reverse engineering and re-producing the item (which I'm not) or 2) that I might break it and try to file a warranty claim with them (which, I might end up breaking it, but wouldn't try to file warranty claim if I do)

I didn't have time to verify that the box has 2gb. My guess is it doesn't. Doesn't make much sense for them to have two different boxes. My guess is it's exactly the same as yours. But I will try to work on that soon.

You need to look at car-specific harness and bezel kits. your Ford will have some sort of Canbus implementation that will probably require an adapter to fit the universal harness. Do a little research on this before you buy. The adapters can be pricey. My 2005 GMC Sierra doesn't have a real canbus, but did go to a sort of in-between system that required me to buy $150.00 worth of adapters to retain all the on-star and SWC crap.

Here is Latvian translation for Bonovo apps:
[Android Head-Units] Ekki_221:
I would not recommend "optimized customs costs", at least not when you live in Germany. That is a sure way to get additional controls (when they suspect the Price to be too cheap) including having to open the package in front of customs officers.

And then problems really start: When they find out that this machine has Bluetooth and WLAN, they want the matching test certificates. The CE logo alone is not enough. If you can not deliver them, the machine gets confiscated or sent back to China... Just ask all the Pebble-watch "victims" :( I almost lost my Qualcomm Toq that way, was just lucky it was almost closing time and the officer did not want to work overtime.

Might be a Germany only problem (although above procedure ist actually EU law), I did not want to take any chances and bought therefore from a european seller including warranty and not having to send to China in case something is broken.

Well 2GB is what Newsmy is officially claiming. Why should they lie?

A look into the Android Memory Settings menu will clarify that ;)

I still do not believe that the NU3001 has universal canbus compatibility. The corresponding Pins are not connected in the plug. Additional Chrysler Canbus / SWC adaptor costs were €150.-

Also, has anyone tried to connect the VSS Signal? I highly doubt that any Android Navigation app would support that...

Regards,

Ekki
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Memory is an easy verification .. I just forgot to look at it the other night, and I don't have time to put it all together at the moment. Probably later tonight.

Agreed, VSS would not be integrated into an Android App. However, the MCU might use that for Speed sensitive volume control (I believe the AN21-U does this).
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Thanks for that, the bezel is on its way from ebay and I will be ordering a harness shortly. I can see from the pinout of the ford's connector that there are 2 SWC and a CAN + and a CAN - connector. I'm just not sure if these can be connected to this unit directly or whether some conversion is needed. I have seen on some older android headunits specific for ford that they do supply a canbus adapter but I'm not sure why and I'm not sure its generic enough to use on this unit. I might ask Summer to see if she knows .

Thats a bit of a concern. Has anyone done any tests on the default canbus adapter in this unit?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
I just got done connecting it up in my Saab and it doesn't work, but there could be a lot of reasons for that besides, you know, not working - poor documentation for my car, etc.

According to Newsmy the adaptor should "just work" with SWCs and a bunch of other stuff. That sounds a bit dubious to me, after my crash course in CAN bus over the last two weeks.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Today was a good day.
[Android Head-Units] stops91:
Can someone tell me (or record a video) how long does it take for the device to boot up and starts to play a radio station for example?

So - turn the key - car starts ----> boot time + enter Radio app and start to play?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
It was already posted. About 14 seconds.
[Android Head-Units] Skybet:
Wow alaninsitges...... it looks gorgeous........ :p:p:p

As everyone we always want everything and more but, keeping it at the very core...

Just plugging the ISO connector of the old car audio gets the core job done? I mean firing the unit up and being able to listen to music and turn by turn voice advice on the car loudspeakers?

Then I'll think to more refined whistle and bells such as Wheels controls etc...
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I think the NU3001 have CANBUS ports, but dosent have built-in canbus decoder.

Each car brand need diferent decoder.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Oh how I wish it were that easy. In my case, I had to (over the last month since it arrived):

- Order dash kit, then another dash kit, then a wiring harness adapter then another wiring harness adapter for the line-level outs.

- Buy backwards RCA Y-adapters to connect the single line outs to the 4 inputs on my factory amp

- Get a definitive answer from Newsmy about how SWC would work

- Find someone on the internet who could give me a definitive answer about CAN bus in my car (finally got a guy on Reddit to look it up in a manual)

- Reverse engineer the wiring because in my car everything is controlled by CAN bus, not wires (I have just power and data lines on the factory radio), I have no ACC wire for example

- Finally take an angle grinder to the NU3001 because it has little metal tabs all around that prevent it from fitting in the dash kit. So I ground them all off.

So it's finally in the dash and it does look pretty good. It's working for the most part, though:

- No SWC, have to investigate further

- No radio, I have to find some adapter for the screwy proprietary antenna connector Saab used

- Still on MCU17, I can't update it for some reason. It finds the update on the SD then displays an alert that says <something chinese>MCU... for about 3 seconds and nothing more.

- Still on original firmware, I can't get the Android box to power up when connected to my TV. It just gets to the boot screen and the shuts off and restarts. So not able to update it.

That said, it sounds great. The wifi is strong as hell, picking up a good signal out in my driveway. Touch screen is bright and responsive. Torque works great. And it looks great in the car.

IMO all the problems anyone has had with this unit come down to one of two things:

- complete lack of documentation

- terrible communication from the manufacturer
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
According to Summer it did, then it didn't, then she wasn't sure. The 8-inch model definitely has CAN bus decoder built-in (it's listed on the AliExpress site). I think it would be odd that one has it and the other didn't. Though if the 8-inch version is for a specific car it makes more sense.

But if it doesn't have it built in, what are all the Bonovo apps for?
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I have similar problem.

My car dosent have reverse wire, ignition wire and all this wire needed for universal unit.

That i ordered a CANBUS Decoder.

It decode all signals from the can-bus and send out to a single cable that i can connect to the nu3001.

The seller include the decoder for free, but only for the cables, as he told me each radio unit uses diferent decoders, and also each car brand need diferent decoder, so is a pain get one that work with both car marker and radio marker.

he include the decoder used on s150 UNITS for Touareg. so i can get the reverse, dashboard light ... from there, and if have lucky may be the decoder is compatible with the unit and can use steering wheels too. (i dobut)

In may case, as i see ther will be a lot of problems, this seller soldered the correct harness, decoder, and correct face plate.

So if everything goes right, it will be only plug and play

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

There is canbus ports, and bonovo can see and use its, but need a decoder.

For ecample. VW Car speak canbus language C and nu3001 will speak canbus language F

The decoder will translate canbus signals from one language to another, so each machines can comunicate
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
VSS works. I have this wire hooked up and can tell it works. The MCU raises the volume of the H/U no matter what app you are running on that moment.

I like it, you can set the sensitivity in het MCU app. Mine is set on +- 50% sensitivity.

Has anyone managed to get the android box working outside the car without the head unit? I tried bot the dw power source method but I guess either the adapter I have isn't big enough or something as the bulb does not turn green. I tried the USB method and atleast that seems to turn on the device but I don't get any picture. Could it be the mini hdmi adapter I have?

That's how I do 80% of my development stuff.

The way I do it is to power the box directly off one of my PC's USB 2.0 ports and have a mini-Hdmi to normal Hdmi cable going direct to the tv.
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
I do the same.... But for casual use. My old PC has a FireWire port as well.... Or a USB 2.0 port supply ample power for use on a television in my apartment. I also connect a Logitech k400 wireless keyboard/mouse. Has never had an issue powering on and runs just fine. I've also used a 2.1amp output wall charger at a friends house and use the box to run Kodi Media Center without a hitch

Zaphod and everyone else gives you this dev work, free of charge, expanding your Newsmy device to its full potential and fixing crap Newsmy was too careless and/or incompetent to code right themselves.

Keep their efforts and the amount of time put into these builds in mind before making a snarky, even if playful, remark.

Please please I need help I'm running on mcu v53 Stock Rom v1.3.4 recently I rooted my NU5261 tho not fully as the wiki suggested. I have done the Kingoroot part but replacing kinguser with supersu I havent done so. The reason for rooting the device is simply to increase the dpi which I manage to do so from 16dpi to 24dpi with a playstore app called texdroider. This worked well but now there are notifications poping up too many times eg "Unfortunately Cardoor has stopped working", "Unfortunately Newsmyradar has stopped working" please could someone kindly advice me could it be bcoz I have change the dpi or I havent completed the rooting steps as suggested by wiki page.

Also something prior to this problem I encountered. I noticed after updating mcu from 29 to 53 and stock rom from v1.1.0 to v1.3.4 a notification which reads "Unfortunately MainActivity has stopped" pops up off and on but not as annyoing as the other notifications that I had described above.
[Android Head-Units] kamhunt:
Root DPI Changer 100% works.

To change DPI for individual apps : Xposed + mods.appsettings
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
You are getting those errors probably because the stock ROM does not want the DPI changed. Why aren't you using XDAuto?
[Android Head-Units] JrOmnia:
Thanks for the reply well I most probably thought naively that stock rom would be a safer approach. I guess I'm wrong here sigh. Could you kindly advise which version of XDAuto rom would be most stable to use? Is switching from stock to XDAuto the same method as updating the stock rom ie placing the img file onto the SD card and allowing the device to auto update? Many thanks
