I don't know anything about the V500 although I would think TWRP would still be there somewhere, and have you checked in the Developer Options (tap build # 10 times in a row in Settings / About device / Software) to see if you can enable root there?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefano2991:
After flash the aosp rom i can't enter in twrp and i've lost root permission and in developer option there is nothing to solve this problem... the problem start because i've forgot to flash supersu zip for root access but seem strange have lost twrp too...

That is no problem. It's normal when using a custom bootloader.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirlan2001:
READ the OP.... says clearly, after flashing you need to reflash SuperSU to gain root again. To get back into recovery ... hold volume-down AND power, wait for LG logo to appear, release power without releasing volume-down, press volume-up and power without releasing volume-down... hold for a few seconds until screen dimms and release all. Wait for next screen, press power 2x and voila, you're back in business.

cheers

I couldn't find another topic regarding broken screen so decided to make this one.

Yesterday I broke my screen :(. The phone is working, but the screen not at all. Several phone repair shops offered me to fix it for 85-110 pounds. Does it worth it ? A friend of mine said to me that the replaceable screens are not as good as the original ones. If that's the case any idea how much can I get for it if I sell it like that with the broken screen? Best offer I saw was with EE recycle for 60 pounds... Any info is much appreciated.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metall Boy:
Well i think its better for a professional to replace the screen, but you can tried it yourself if you know how. You can get parts really cheap and there are a lot of videos on yt on how to do it. But still I would rather let a professional fix it :)

Guys I have a AL-C0241 and I just installed Malaysk's firmware.

I stupidly did not check my MCU type before hand, thinking that I would keep the existing MCU if I only updated the image.

Everything seemed to install fine, but when I look in the about tablet section, the first few lines are blank, including the MCU

And now I am getting no sound from the radio. Everything else including the wifi and GPS seems to be working OK, but no sound is a problem.

Can anyone tell me the original MCU code of the AL-C0241 ? This is the autopumpkin 7 inch with no buttons on it, just a flat screen.

So I think mine is bricked now.

After loading Malaysk 3188/1024 firmware I no longer have:

*sound

*gps

*radio

Still working

*wifi

Any idea what I should do to try and fix it? I tried a few things with the reset button but was unable to achieve factory reset. Should I start trying some of the available MCUs?
[Android Head-Units] Georgetech:
Ask Pumpkin to send you an image file of your MCU and Firmware. I just send them an email requesting the same for my unit. I told them that I wanted to back it up and can't unless I am rooted.

Let's see what happens.

Georgetech
[Android Head-Units] darkhorsefkn:
Worth a try, I will do that.

Would it be possible to get an image of the stock SD card and use that to revert to factory? perhaps nleitao can take a copy of his if he still has access to the insides of his unit?

I'm pretty annoyed with myself, hopefully I don't have to buy another!
[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
I have been exchanging some emails with them, because I was going to do what you did, but only after having the factory image... This is what I got:

Today I'll reply asking the most recent they have.

I would gladly do image backups if someone explains me how to do it without root...

Thank you so much! downloading now, will post results!

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Just found a couple of youtube videos, from the official pumpkin channel "pumpkin car stereo support" where they show a software and MCU update for the AL-C0241 !

No download link however! Search AL-C0241 on you tube if interested.

Also checked their blog, no update there :(

edit: Can't test their firmware because my USBs no longer work, along with most of my hardware.

Its not looking good for me :| Maybe I can find a way to get them working on Malaysk's rom but it's a bit of a catch 22. I can get internet access on the device, however, so all hope is not lost.
[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
have you tried the internal SD slot?

Try the Internal SD card, here you have a picture of my radio

SD Card
[Android Head-Units] darkhorsefkn:
I opened my device and that slot is empty. I thought that was for a sim card to enable 3g?

I will put the update.img file on a new sd card and try it tonight, I will post results in approximately 8 hours time

Thanks for the help
[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
Nop, it's an SD card slot :)
[Android Head-Units] darkhorsefkn:
Sorry guys I have no results as yet, got a bit busy last night

I have to rig up a molex connector so I can power the device up while im inside my house, it should be as simple as connecting the yellow 12v rail and the earth to the harness, so hopefully I will be able to inform you of results before long

Thanks for the support
[Android Head-Units] darkhorsefkn:
Fixed!

Thanks for all the help :)

I used the ROM posted earlier in this thread and the internal SDslot and I eventually got everything working again, I much preferred Malaysk's ROM but couldn't manage to get the MCU updated until after I did the ROM update.

I now have alex v1.1.5 however, I used to have v1.1.7, so that's kinda annoying but I can't see the difference right now anyway. I will write to auto pumpkin and try to get the latest image.

I was also not able to get it to power up using my computer power supply. I connected the 12v to the 12v and the earth to the earth but it wouldn't fire up, super annoying.

Now I am just going to enjoy using it for a while :)

[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
I'm really glad you fixed it up!

You should had connect the red and the yellow to the 12v...

My apologies to the OP for the kind of hijack but I believe this is the thread with most info for this radio.

I'm having problems with my radio. The screen seems to have a bad contact somewhere, making it complete useless to try to work with it. The odd thing is it never happens in the first 20 minutes ater a cold start. Does someone have an idea what is happening here?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMCrWkFdd0I

Second problem. I'm completely unable to pair the radio's Bluetooth with whatever devices. I just cant start the pairing process from the radio side.

thanks in advance

[Android Head-Units] darkhorsefkn:
That screen flicker doesn't look good :( Is your warranty void due to opening the device? Could be a hardware fault.

As for the bluetooth pairing, I think mine just worked the first time and I haven't looked at it since. I will have another look later and see if mine is doing the same thing
[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
Today I received this answer from them

So two things I learned. The crappy Bluetooth App can't connect to other devices. The second is I still have warranty after open the cover and check the internal cables.

Yeah, I suspect hardware fault. It only start happening after 20, 25 minutes after power up. something heats up and puff...
[Android Head-Units] darkhorsefkn:
I noticed my device got kinda warm when I was testing prior to installing, I think you might be right about the overheating.

That's cool that they said they would honor the warranty anyway, I would take them up on that if I was mine bro, it doesn't look like you will be able to fix it with a quick resolder or something because it's the screen. Also if you try that and **** it up, then your warranty is busted. If you return it and get it fixed or replaced, you're back in warranty

Update for my device, I posted on their website and they gave me a link to their latest firmware for AL-C0241

https://mega.nz/#F!QRlEGYDR!i1ASYK9A9oCUGmessk3n1w

it includes MCU update. Can you link this on the wiki page or something? Very useful.

re: bluetooth, I got mine working in 2 minutes and I because it just worked I don't really remember what I did, I think I found the auto search feature after it was already paired, so I must have done it manually some other way.

Should we move all this useful information to a thread dedicated to the al-c0241?

I found something more today.

If I raise the volume to an very high value, it happens after 4 or 5 minutes; if I lower the volume to an almost inaudible value, it didn't happened even after 42 minutes. Also I found that the image goes away but the radio is fully workable ( if you have finger prints on the screen that tell you were to press since there is no image. )

I don't think I'll ask a direct replace, maybe I choose other model. ( Hint: HuiFei )

I am having the same issue, But I did download the latest MCU and ROM from Pumpkin

https://mega.nz/#F!QRlEGYDR!i1ASYK9A9oCUGmessk3n1w

But after doing a reset as instructed by the Pumpkin folks I am now stuck in a boot loop.

Any clue how to access recovery?
[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
Ui... I really have no clue.

Did you try diferent combinations with the reset buton?

Using the internal SD card slot with reset?

what have you tried?

[Android Head-Units] oldman_58:
I have been working with Pumpkin Tech, seems unit is in a bootloop. I have tried with the internal SDCARD that has update.IMG and Project-Car.bin

No success, even using the reset button with the SDCARD installed produced the same Bootloop on the "android" screen.

I am hoping Pumpkin will send a new unit but they sure do not want to be that accommodating, I will request a full refund from E-Bay.

Dealing with China is a pain since there is only 2-3 hours that I am awake in the AM and they are working at the end of their day.

[Android Head-Units] voltorn:
Ok A couple things guy's. The bluetooth issue with obd2 and pairing from the Hu itself seems to just be ****ty software? I see the bluetooth is pulling up as Fihonest is there anykind of work around or are we at the mercy of pumpkin? Also I am new to the android Hu game. Would it be possible to install the car service apk for SWC and function properly? Also what about Xposed framework?
[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
It looks to me the ***ty software takes control over android bluetooth function. without root I don't see a good future. Also i'm not sure how Xposed woks but I believe we need root for it?

I just left my radio in the post for devolution; I had that problem with the screen, that issue with bluetooth, the fact I can't have root on it easily, I'll exchange it for a KD-C0250 paying 10 extra £.

With the KD-C0250 I can install Malaysk's pre rooted firmware, that will open a huge door :D

Hello Members, I would like to update just the MCU of my AL-C0241, I've gone to the wiki but the link doesn't find the download on the MEGA cloud site.

What is the latest MCU version for the unit, and where can I get it please?

Also, nleitao does your new KD-C020 internal mic work well, or does it suffer poor sound pickup, do callers complain about any echo? and also, can the unit support more than one pairing of a Bluetooth device.?

The Wiki link is working, I just finnished downloading it now. That is the latest official image from Pumpkin, the zip file contains 2 files inside, I haven't tried but I believe the "Project-car.bin" is the MCU file

By KD-C020 do you mean KD-C0250? If so, I haven't received yet. Hopefully during next week.

Thanks nleitao for the help, is there any chance that you could confirm if I have a previous version MCU and Firmware against your own, as I had read earlier in this thread that the one for download turned out to be no different to what had originally came with the unit.

[Android Head-Units] liviococcia:
Thanks nleitao, so it looks like I definitely need to up date the MCU, and also the TFT version.

So can I be clear on this, so I don't mess it up nleitao

Do I need to use the Firmware update file at all, or do I just need to download and install only the project-car. bin file to update both the MCU and TFT versions

nleitao your right, my original MCU version was..

I've updated it today from the Pumpkin download file of MEGA cloud storage, and it now ...MCU: 5701-20150901-140949-V01

Your version from the Wiki photo is ...

MCU: 5701-20150915-110227-V01

I don't understand, is the one from the Wiki link not the most up-to-date, where's the most up to date version them?
[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
Yep.

I believe that happen because Pumpkin are the sellers. They are not the manufacturers, and I had it together with radio, so it was more recent than the ones they have...
[Android Head-Units] liviococcia:
Sorry nleitao, I need to ask you something please, I found this video on YouTube below

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jJO_QKzHmhU

But the person in the video is giving nothing away, and because this is Android I'm not sure what to do next

So, to use this Pumpkin AL-C0241 update.img file do I need to make a bootable USB, or can I just copy the update.img file over to a USB flash drive, stick it into the USB port of the headunit.

Regards
[Android Head-Units] nleitao:
Yeah, just copy the files to the usb flash drive
[Android Head-Units] liviococcia:
Cheers nleitao for all this help.

I copied the image.img file directly to the USB flash drive, stuck it in the head units USB port and it started the update process almost immediately.

As you mentioned earlier, it's not as up to date as yours was, but it's updated and it'll have to do until Pumpkin issue a newer version on the MEGA storage website.

Just so others no, when I updated the MCU the process hung at the 649 range, so I ran the MCU update process again, the second time it completed the process and the unit restarted, but the MCU version number hadn't changed.

It was only when I repeated the process a third time, that the MCU update completed itself and the unit restarted, and the MCU version number had changed.

Also, once I had completed the image.img firmware update, I found two apps were gone 'HappyMusicPlayer', and 'apkinstaller'.

There were a couple of new apps, one of which was 'ESfile'

To replace the loss of 'HappyMusicPlayer', I installed 'VCL for Android', and Google Music Player, they seem to both work ok.

Thanks again

Pumpkin AL-C0241 black screen after MCU update

Dear sirs,It was problem with radio app.(cant swith off app),and original pumpkin steering wheel control didnt work properly.They send me link to download new firmware update.And after update its started to reboot and nothing,just black screen,RESET button doesnt work,only green light is flashing inside unit.How can i fix this problem now?Please help
[Android Head-Units] darkhorsefkn:
Did you figure this out?

My AL-C0241 has the same problem I think. It happened after I used the update interface to update the MCU. I had the update file from mega that is linked previously in this thread.

I had already loaded the mega firmware by putting it on a sd card in the internal slot which I had to do to recover the unit a few months ago. I only just realised the radio and bluetooth were not working, so I went into the gui system update screen and clicked update MCU... it got to about 932 before it stopped, so I left it for about 30 minutes and no progress. I turned it off and it has never turned on again.

when I start the car literally nothing happens on the screen of my head unit. I haven't had a chance to take it out yet, it may have the internal green flashing light that yours does I will find out this weekend probably.

I think its buggered now, but I will try flashing from the internal SD card slot again.

If you haven't yet you should try this. I originally loaded the wrong firmware and lost the use of everything except the internal sd slot and wifi... so that meant no usb, but I was able to get it up and running, even if I did end up with older firmware than I started!

I used to have alex 1.1.7 it went back to 1.1.5... but at least it worked. Now it does SFA

Honestly im thinking of getting a different unit, just trying to make sure I get something that will accept malaysk's firmware this time.

Good luck
