Stock nr5002 to xdauto problems

I'm on a stock NR5002 (i know), it's been working fine until a few months ago Google Play issues... I want to go ahead an upgrade to xdauto but i keep running into issues.

I'm running stock 1.4.2 / mcu v57

When I'm running RKBatchTool, i get no pink button to "switch" it to recovery mode.

The NR5002 doesn't have a reset button to put in recovery mode.... otherwise I'd try that.

I'll have the NR5002 in USB Debug mode and my Win10 laptop detects the headunit in device manager, but only as Android device. USB Debug mode off, I get nothing.

Tried DriverAssistant 4.1.1 and 4.4, tried RKBatchtool 1.6 and 1.8

Any ideas?? is there an APK of an app I can run on this stock NR5002 that would boot it into recovery?
[Android Head-Units] tofu713:
I'm not having any luck, installed an APK for a Reboot to Recovery App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.petrus.tools.reboot) and doesn't even reboot.

Typically the only way I've been able to force reboot is to use the Dev tools and Crash the system server... but that still doesn't help me since I'm trying to reboot into recovery.

Laptop still doesn't show connected using Rockchip Batch Tool... but Windows shows connected Android device.

Is there an issue with the rockchip drivers and Windows 10?

or is there something I need to check is running on the NR5002?

Can I load a different Stock ROM from USB to the Internal SD that the NR5002 will reboot into recovery so I can load xdAudo custom ROM via RKBatchTool?
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Which unit have former Carpad owners moved to?

We have two NR3001 that are still going strong, but I know that they will have to be replaced eventually. Wondering from those who have moved on, what did you move to and how is the experience? If I had to change now it would be a toss up between a brand name wireless AA deck, or a PX5 (probably Joying since it seems to have development support).
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
Interested as well. Would be nice to have an overclocked kernel. Those extra 200mhz would help. Lol
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
I have NR3001 but is very very slow especially with Google maps that for me is important, and sometimes with long travel, crash Google maps.

There is a way to get more stable and fast in this unit?

Or need to replace it with another ?
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
There was an overclocked kernel version of xdauto but there's no one around to build the rom with it anymore. Have you tried Waze? I find it is quite fluid and I can run it and Spotify at the same time without issues.

From what I read of other units they still have their share of problems. Any chance the rockchip is throttling back due to heat? Could always add a fan to see, or maybe there is software to measure the cpu temps?
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
I wish there was a current overclock kernel as well. Add a little fan to the heatsink and done.?
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
Yes waze is a little bit smooth than Google maps.

Spotify and waze are better than Google maps and Spotify.

Anyway you know how to have when coming phone calls, volume to 10 for example with Tasker?
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
Have you experience when you listen music from Spotify for example, that especially sometimes you switch song, there are some disturb ? Like *Clak* *Clak*

Not every time but the most time that you switch songs.

Also when I turn on device, I can see in car speaker some interference, so is possible fix it? Or this radio is worst ? ;(
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
Are you using speaker outs or line out?
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Part of the problem could be wifi interference.

This may help, I have not tried myself.

Need to press reset button to start up NU5261

Hi Guys please help! A day ago I transferred my NU5261 to my other car it all worked fine but I noticed the next day it didn't boot up like it should.

I tried the small reset button and it worked however the next time I turned on my car again it happened and again in order to start up I need to press the reset button again.

Please help many thank in advance
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Wild guess, but backward battery and acc hookup?
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
My unit is still going strong after all this time.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Me too x 2 (one in each car)
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
Wish we had an overclock kernel though. (Well spec speed for this chip) ?
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
How you say that?

Is very slow, especially when you launch spotify.

But when you launch google maps, you must pray for a miracle, slow and crash sometimes.

Also when you wake up from stanby, need some mins to gps works...

I guess that this headunit isn't good today...
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
But Waze + Spotify still are fine together once Spotify is up and running. I have no issue with GPS lock times.

What will you try instead? I am really tempted to try the Ownice K1, but only because it is $220 cdn including shipping and runs 8.1.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Guys, just so you know the Atoto A6 Pro is a current, viable alternative to the NR/NU. I've been through countless brands/models of android head units since I removed my NR in search of something more current. Finally found the Atoto A6 Pro which has proper working everything. RDS, Dual Bluetooth, external storage, etc. I didn't bother to attempt to root or modify the ROM on the A6, it works great right out of the box.
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
I would need something in the 8-9 inch max with no DVD/CD that I can easily detach the screen from the body of need be.

That's why I went with this unit as it only has the one circuit board at the bottom and the external box.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Well, if you are willing to go a little bigger they are launching a detachable 10" version soon. Product page isnt working just yet.

[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
That actually looks nice and it has the aptX Bluetooth codec which means higher audio quality than most of these units.
[Android Head-Units] krembuk:
mine is even the first version of carpad.

yes, that frankenstein two box android and wince. but i like it. the wince boots faster for quicker radio listening
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
So is mine although I only tend to use it for bluetooth streaming and Waze as Google Maps kept crashing. It's like GM knew the exact worst place to crash and as it doesn't have a crash handler to restart the navigation it was a right pita. Waze is generally rock solid though.

Might be changing my car this year so will decide whether to remove it before that.

Just to add, was very disappointed they decided to discontinue the separate box design as I would have bought an upgraded one by now.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Has anyone tried Headunit Reloaded on the nu3001 ?

https://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/android-4-1-headunit-reloaded-android-t3432348

Its a paid for app that provides Android Auto functionality in an emulator through USB/Wifi. I've had a quick go with the trial version using my Samsung S8 when connected to the android box via USB and it does work but then seems to lose the connection after a few minutes. I haven't had a chance to debug this any further.
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
Anyone ever get a 4G/LTE modem to work natively with this unit?

In the settings there are only options for 2G/3G and when a 4G modem is inserted it just cycles and signal bars never come up on the headunit. Looked in the USB folders and the model number is listed there, but nothing. :(
[Android Head-Units] JrOmnia:

My Dashcommand app wont connect to the licensing server i suspect due to TLS issues.

I think someone posted a script to enable TLS or downgrade the cypher used.

Anyone know how to either enable TLS, or otherwise get old apps working with newer webservers?

Hi everyone, I have a problme with my CARPAD 3 NR5210.

I try to flash Xdauto, but when i wipe all the battery brokedown. When i put it up the bootloader loop and i can't resume my unit to recovery or some other situation otherwise bootloader loop. Only bootloader loop ever.

I try:

push reset button (3 seconds hold and 20 seconds hold)

connect to PC for used ADB command, but PC doesn't recognize it

Nothing works, only bootloader loop.

Please, some suggestions
[Android Head-Units] horn34:
just a shot in the dark, but if anyone wants to sell their unit (and I really only need the external processor box) let me know.

Someone broke into my car a few weeks ago and stole the processor out of the glove box. The idiots probably thought it was a phone or something.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Wow, this happened to me too. Only thing they stole from the car was the android box. Unfortunately my spare I used to use for dev work was dead too. I had a NR5002 laying around and installed that today, need to buy/build a new mounting face since my old one didn't fit and wire up the steering wheel controls but it's nice having music again after almost a month.

ihave one with 2gb memory does it look like this?
[Android Head-Units] miket007:
Looks like this thread has died...was hoping for some commentary ideas/suggestions. I have one of these that I installed back in 2015/16 I believe and used it for a year, sold the car and shelved it. Its complete and was thinking about using it another vehicle though I havent kept up with this thread and any of the development work. I know at one time, it would not recongnize a larger usb attached drive...which was an issue. without trying to read through this thread completely, Where should I start in fine tuning this box with up todate OS/Firmware etc? Has the factory abandoned this altogether?
[Android Head-Units] der-Gep:
Hello to all

I have a simple question , is it possible to change the android Box for a better one (Quad core and 4 GB Ram) and install the headunit rom AD3188 xdAuto 1.1.6 (or newer better) on it ? 🧐

Hi all, after 8 years of good service my Carpad II is now locked on car logo and diesn't boot up.

It happen during a recent family trip and I guess my son play wrongly on power button.

Any idea of what to do?

8 years ago I did myself installation and updating following newsmy technician suggestions but now I forget nearly all.

I've also the sd card which I've flashed with all the required tools for the configuration.

I guess at that time, following chinese technician, I've updated the mcu while connected with the android box which was connected to the mcu....am I right?
[Android Head-Units] fure68:
Hi again,

Could anyone post a photo of what is displaied on MCU if turned on without android box be connected?

I'm afraid my box is not communicating with mcu.

The box is working when connected to television with HDMI, you can see a photo here attached.
[Android Head-Units] fure68:
It is really strange to note that nobody on this thread has been talking about the Software FWDN V7 of Telechip to upload the WIN CE MCU with its firmware.....so many page of discussions and no one word about this
[Android Head-Units] fure68:
telechip driver lets window recognize the MCU, just press power on button together with Navi button. Got the utility to upload the firmware, got the youtube video on how to do it. I don't have the files transferred in the video....I just have 2 binary files of my original firmware but don't know how to make them become loadable rom files....but probably it is enough to rename with .rom
[Android Head-Units] fure68:
OOOpppssss.... my radio is newsmy carpad 2 model DT5210S-H-H* .......with cd drive and phisical commands. can I consider to flash it with mcu rom 40 or 54 used for nu3001?
[Android Head-Units] fure68:
OOh yes!!

My carpad 2 is not nu3001 based on Rockchip board!

Instead it is based on Telechips board.

All firmware software and instructions are on a russian website

disk.yandex.ru/d/XcDpU6XWfLn9Z/ИНСТРУКЦИИ КАК ПРОШИВАТЬ ЧЕРЕЗ ПК

Now I'll have to translate and study the flashing instructions....stay tuned!
[Android Head-Units] fure68:
Yuppyyaehhhh! I've got back my radio! I was having problem with the 2nd part of the program download which, for newer versions of hardware, is foreseen to be done with the sd card (on board nand memory on newer radio is not enough for the whole firmware).

I was able to flash in the firmwarevfrom pc but radio was only showing the red car with Newsmy logo and some chinese characters (this because she was not able to read the sd card)

Finally I tried with one of the newest software versions (C types) found on the russian website (it is amazing they have all the releases of the software for mcu and even for droidbox) . I freshly formatted with FAT type the sd card 4gb. Flashed the firmware (3 files, tcboot.rom, nk.rom and the nand memory partition file nand_data.fai) using otg usb port and tge fwdn program. Than switch off pressing long time the power push button. Switcg on again and she started showing the download from the sd card!

Once finished my radio was back!
[Android Head-Units] fure68:
If there is still somebody taking care of this forum I guess it will be nice to correct the first post of this thread where my radio type is called "frankestin" but in the truth is a sister of the 3001 models discussed here with the same droid box. Adding the information of the russian forum (using microsoft browser with the page translation tool 😉) at beginning of this thread will basically let also the dt models owners enjoying all the info here.

Thank you

Hi,

After seeing differents models of 2-din HU, my choice is the NU3001 for a Golf mk4.

I want it, I need it :D Especially in 2GB ram version.

Living in France, I can't order to Newsmy on Aliexpress (and it's expensive) so anyone here know or ordered to the vendor "Automotive supplies flagship store" on AliExpress ?

I'm just looking for something that allows me to actually use my "5.1" setup in my car instead of splitting the 2 channel audio out to the 5.1 channel amp. I lost a considerable amount of my 'soundstage' with this install as opposed to the previous Kenwood H/U I had installed.

The HDMI to RCA won't work for my setup either because if there is no HDMI on the back the H/U and only on the Android box then I can't use it. I can't have wires hanging all over the place visible as that will drive me up the wall. And I can't install the Android "Brain" behind the H/U because we all need access to the "brain" in order to flash ROMs etc..etc...

They are located in Spain. You can choose between 1GB or 2GB version. It's quite more expensive than Aliexpress, but they offer a 2 year warranty.

I'm starting to think about Rom's problems. My HU came original with 1.0.8 version. After problems with caller and address book, I took Red's Amplified (1.0.9) version.

Do Amplified can have some bugs?

Ekki, do you have Screen lock option activated on your phone (using PIN)? Can you really make a call from HU while phone IS locked (not only screen off, but locked - asking pin for unlock)?

Changes on amplified rom. are not big. so dobut this problem are ralated with this rom. Let the cooker pronunce about it.

I incline for a problem with some phones or custom layer phone markers add (touchwiz, optimus ui, sense ....)

Will be nice people have problem post the phone model are using
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Perhaps I am wrong, but wasn't Amplified based on 1.0.9 Beta?

My phone model is available under More button under poster description. It is Samsung S4 Mini with factory rom.

Its based on original 1.0.9 from bewsmy.

He write beta , as its his firsts rom. and first or second attemp to modify something.

Let see if other people having problem post his models too.

My units are on route, should finlay recibe today, so i will test it on my LG G3. and also con my Note 3 and nexus 4

So see if works fine with all of them, or have some problems.

Note3 have touchwiz, so if problem is related to this, i should give me same problems you have

Has anyone taken a look at what's in the changelogs for the MCU updates? It's pretty interesting and makes it clear that there is CAN bus support built in and they are doing stuff with it. They also talk about adding (and fixing) support for I2C, which doesn't really make any sense. Along with a lot of other stuff that Google doesn't know what they're talking about, but sounds interesting.

I loaded this myself and can't find any differences save for possibly a small one on the radio app. (Still no RDS though). Can all of you who load this keep a close eye out for any changes between 1.1.0 and 1.0.9 and let me know what you find? If there are I may have to figure out what was done to integrate into our source code (assuming it is anything useful they changed).

[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Hello

change to 1.1.0

Be warned....

I updated using RKBatchTool v1.6 ( I plugged the android box to my computer and using an external 5V power supply).

When I started the HU in the car:

a) it took some time without any logo ( I was thinking I must reflash)...

b) after some minutes, it started and the radio was working...

c) but I understood nothing: everything was chinese (not a joke)

d) I took my wife's phone (android 4.4.2) to find where do we change the language back to something we are familiar with ????

So I procedeed to an update, not a restore from RKBatchTool, but all what I did before is gone...

There are some new (chinese only) applications...

The mixer is the same.

The radio was modified (not in a very positive way for me)...

I will definitely go back to the rel from red13 on sunday (no time tomorrow).

So do like I plan to do and run the brain into either the center console or glove box, running the wires through the dash and run all your wires accordingly to hide them. My truck literally has the perfect hiding spot for the brain that won't occupy any additional space in the glove box or center console while still remaining easily accessible. Pop off one panel on my center console(pops right off in 2 seconds) and viola, enough space for a single din radio. Or in my case, Android brain box. :D

I'm having problem with the 3G dongles I'm using (I have two different ones, both Huawei but different models). When I first installed it worked great, but after I turn the unit off and later back on the dongle is recognized but the 3G connection never gets made. Lots of fooling around with airplane mode and changing APNs sometimes it will come back but rarely. I could just unplug/replug the modem I suppose but that's not the kind of user experience I want. Anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas?

The guy who was going to do my installation has proven himself to be an idiot so tomorrow I'm going to go buy a 12V power supply (no idea where to get one of those) and pick up the radio, then fire it up and get some testing done while I wait for China to come back from vacation and start answering some freaking mails.
[Android Head-Units] ZexGX:
You can use most any ATX computer power supply for +12V and GND (old ones with the molex ATA/IDE style power connectors are easiest to use without any cutting). To power it on you will need to ground one of the colored wires (I used a paperclip) on the main 20/24 pin motherboard connector. If you do a Google search, you can find more info on how to power it on along with a pinout. I have wires from my headunit harness running into various molex connectors for power. Yellow wires are +12V, black wires are GND. Red wires are something like 5v, but I'd have to check the pinouts to be sure. Wire everything up BEFORE powering on the power supply. Do not connect the headunit to +12V while the power supply is powered up.
[Android Head-Units] dmandn:
Its usually the green wire on the 24pin connector to a nearby black (usually next to it).
