[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varia2:
Hi! My rooted S3 started to reboot randomly and suddenly one day stopped working. It's stuck on the "Samsung Galaxys3 GT-I9300" screen. I'm able to enter download mode and recovery mode. I can't use factory reset/wipe data because as soon as it starts the phone reboots.

I've tried several guides to no avail, I just can't get it to work. Kies can't see the phone, but Odin works. Even tried cleaning the power button just in case, but I think that only works for the samsung logo loop. Last thing I tried was a "GT-I9300XXEMG4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY". This is what happens:

I'm at a loss. The phone worked flawlessly (rooted) for more than a year and suddenly this happens. Maybe when the random reboots started I could have done something, but what's done it's done. I've read that I could try changing the motherboard, but they are kinda expensive for something I don't know if it will even work. Tried different computers, USB cables, but it's always the same. I remember I had the avast anti theft app, but I don't know if this is what's preventing me from wiping the data or fixing the phone.

Rom depreciated, op removed.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Steamer2499:
Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Steamer2499:
I had to uncheck "System, Cache, Data, cust, splash2 and newsys" in TWRP to get this to install...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Pre-requisite to flash

Hi

Before doing the above must the 703L be already on stock B106 ROM or can flash this directly from B015 ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
It should work if you are on b015. Make sure you do a backup in TWRP first. The ROM flashes the boot, system and cust.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
twrp version

Which twrp version did you use successfully for this ? The 5.1 or the 5.1.1 ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'm using the 5.1.1 one.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] wpennhokie:
I unchecked all these, as well. Also, I had the message "error retrieving information from server rpc s-7 aec-7" when attempting to install anything from the Google Play store. In case anyone else runs into this, I followed the directions from this site:

http://www.fixerrs.com/2015/02/error-retrieving-information-from-server-rpc-s-7-aec-7.html

After the reboot, I had to log back into my Google account through the Play Store. I wasn't able to add the account under Settings->Accounts->Google.

Otherwise, so far so good. Thanks for the ROM!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
When I tested the ROM before I posted it I didn't have that problem. I'll install it again a few times to see if I can recreate that problem. Did you do a wipe before you flashed or did you flash it over an already installed ROM?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
None of the X2 ROM's I have ever run was I able to add a Google account through Accounts. For some reason it just doesn't show up even after I added GoogleAccountManager.apk. To add a second account go to settings, backup and reset, hit Backup account and hit Add account.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
I managed to get the b015 stock ROM working on my 702L but this is as far as it gets.

I flashed the 5.1.1. twrp_cn but it couldn't reboot into recovery and instead it went on a boot loop.

I then flashed 5.1 twrp_cn (previous version before Android 5.1.1) and managed to get into custom recovery from b015 on my 702L. Using this twrp I then flashed this custom B106 rom and it inidcated success.

However after reboot it simply went into boot loop. Not sure is it because my device is still 702L though I managed to get b015 703L stock rom on my 702L. Neither could I flash into stock B106.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Did you wipe before you flashed or did you dirty flash over your existing ROM? You may have to wait until the 702L gets Android 5.1.1 then try flashing the 703L ROM after that.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] wpennhokie:
I did the factory reset, per the instructions. I didn't wipe anything beyond that.

After a few days, everything has continued to be great. It's probably just my imagination, but I feel this ROM is running much faster and smoother than the KangVIP ROM I was using previously. Of course, that ROM was based on B108, so that might have been the issue, too.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah it's a bit smoother than KangVIP for me too. It's a lot more debloated than KangVIP so that's why it's faster. I installed it a few times and the Play Store worked for me the first time on each reload. I'm hoping to get a b109 version so I can mod it as well.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] wpennhokie:
I have had a few minor issues pop up over the last few days, and I was wondering if anyone else has had similar issues or solutions.

1. I listen to audiobooks via the Overdrive app during my commute and trudge from the parking lot to work. In the past, when I've shut off the bluetooth connection, the audio has stopped. I have to do this when switching between my headset and the car stereo and vise versa. Lately, I've noticed when I shut off the devices, my audio pauses for a second or so, then starts playing over the phone speaker. Since it's both devices, I don't believe it's an issue with the devices. Oddly enough, autoplay starts up just fine when I connect to a device, but auto-pause (auto-stop?) doesn't.

2. The other issue is alarms. I'm using Google clock, mostly so I can easily move my alarms between phones. In the past, when I've re-imaged my phone and restored the Clock app and data via TB, I've had to go in and toggle the alarms off and on to get them to work the first time. After that, they worked fine after every reboot. Lately, I've noticed when I reboot, none of my alarms work. They don't show as pending in the notification bar, on either the left or right side. Once I go in and toggle them on and off, they work fine again until the next reboot. The problem is that I run a Llama task around 3:00 AM every morning to reboot the phone (Auto Reboot stopped working for me). So, every morning I have to go in and toggle them again. Once I do, any pending alarms show up on the left side of the notification center, and I get notification that I have alarms set on the right side as well. I have the Huawei clock app frozen via TB, but unfreezing it didn't stop the issue. I guess I can stop rebooting every day, but I'd prefer not to. As for the setup, I've double checked, and Clock is added to both Protected Apps and Startup Apps. I even tried setting the clock app to open on reboot via Llama, and while it opened up, the alarms still didn't work until I toggled them.

Thanks in advance for any help.

As a quick follow up, the Bluetooth appears to be an app-specific issue. I was just trying it with some other apps while I had the phone connected to a Bluetooth speaker at home. The other apps paused just fine. I finally found audio player settings (not in the General settings, but only when the audio player is being used) in the Overdrive app. It had a toggle to turn the feature on and off. I toggled it, and it seems to be working now.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
AJ

Is there any word on b105 or greater on the 702?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] wpennhokie:
To follow up on the alarm issue I was having above, I uninstalled the Google clock app, reinstalled it from the Play store, and the restored the data only from TB. After a couple if test reboots (full and hot), it appears to be sticking. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

And just to say it one more time, this ROM is still working great for me.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I don't have a 702L to fool around with or I'd try doing it myself.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I've been playing around with and reading a lot of what it takes to make ROM'S. I made a stock B109 TWRP flashable Debloated ROM with Gapps included. I'm testing it out now and will post it as soon as everything is working correctly. The only thing not working at the moment is the SIM card switching.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] kpcheang2:
Great !

I was wondering whether the clue to the SIM card switching could lie on certain prop files ? I can't recall exactly the full file name but I even saw "Dual SIM Settings" being associated with "dsdsxxxx" file ?

I asked because if you recall in my other post few days back I managed to do OTA upgrade from stock B106 to B109 on my 702L so I'd think the radio baseband kernell would have been flashed properly albeit on a different hardware.

And the fact that my 702 continues to work fine in dual SIM mode......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] patxlb:
I would like to be able to block all incoming text messages for a specific time each day (ie, 8:00 pm to 8:00 am). I understand how to do this with incoming calls, but is there a way to do this with text messages? An added bonus would be the ability to send an automatic response during this time.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
I also got this new version, mine is the dvd-less 7" model with 6 buttons at the bottom. One other difference that wasn't mentioned: usb keyboard and mouse are not working. Still experimenting with it.
[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
I'm trying to get the source files from my seller lets see how this goes.
[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
Were u able to get it to work [MENTION=3081576]sciallo[/MENTION] ?
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
I installed it and have been on the road, haven't had time to really do much other than install some apps,

I got update files from my seller but didn't test them yet... The file naming suggests they are encrypted like the. An-21u's if I remember right the encryption got figured out at some point, I'll have to research it when I get some time

Other things I found out so far:

- USB keyboard/mousd doesn't seem to work

- sub out only works with radio, nor poweramp Pandora Bluetooth or even built in music app. I ended up connecting my subwoofer amp to the rear channel

- hard drive works, I use a 128gb solid state hd.

Some apps are not compatible according to play store but can be side loaded (eg. Tablet talk and if I remember right poweramp), some are compatible according to play store but force close (eg gmail and weatherbug)

that's all I got so far, I thought I was buying another an-21 identical to the one I already have because I knew what to do and don't have too much time lately and here I am with the latest...
[Android Head-Units] hellSunshine:
I also got this unit but my seller was not able to share the update files with me. Would it be possible to get them from you? I would like to investigate the differences to the dual core firmware version. Many thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4RRcgRzZP0ARHpNU1ZVQ0xJSVk/view?usp=sharing

Keep in mind I haven't tried it, if anyone tries it, please post the version numbers as seen in the settings.
[Android Head-Units] hellSunshine:
Many thanks! Unfortunately the archive contains dual core firmware. Android 4.1.1. System 2.9.5_20150413. :(

Could you pls contact your seller again? Would be great!
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
That was quick! Do you know that for sure?
[Android Head-Units] hellSunshine:
Somebody (you?) posted the same file "4.4syestem.zip" in the AN-21U dual core thread a couple of days ago, and I got it already investigated by a real expert for this. It turned out (in the emulator) that it's the dual core firmware. You could double check - maybe something went wrong.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
That was me, contacting seller now...
[Android Head-Units] hellSunshine:
Did you check whether the system update files were somewhere on the unit? I couldn't find them on mine...

One more comment: My seller always told me that the firmware in the quad core would be the same as in the dual core. When comparing Sciallo's quad core files to my dual core files then there is only 1 significant difference: libandroid_runtime.so (of course the stock app apks are also different but this is not important here).

I'm no Android expert but I could imagine that only some native libraries would have to be modified for the new quad core hardware.

Would i.e. a new libandroid_runtime.so be sufficient?
[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
I will try to contact my seller. I wonder if there could be differences between units. Since they all have the same hardware I doubt it but multiple sources might be helpful.
[Android Head-Units] vdsem:
Got Root rights program: KingRoot , it is permanent.
[Android Head-Units] Hisma:
nice, this is the unit I was looking at on ali express. What I don't understand is looking at the R16 on google, it looks to be a quad core A7, not quad core A9. Can someone link me to the specs of the R16?

The seller is smart rover, here is the item I am looking at:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/8-An...For-Mazda-6-Atenza-2013-2014/32369470348.html

I am curious how it performs against the RK3188-based HUs.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

how is BT audio quality? How is mic quality?
[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
Have been playing more. I haven't come across any incompatible apps. However I have noticed Easy Connect doesn't work most of the time and Bluetooth connect is glitchy.
[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
Wrong unit. I have seen that unit before, but its not any of these, however it is another Hybrid unit of the AN-21U
[Android Head-Units] hellSunshine:
Quadcore Unit (Tontek)

Here's some more info/video from me regarding the quad core unit. I also own a dual core unit from the same manufacturer (Tontek), and I have to confess that the quad core is just superior in any way. My main expectation was that the unit performs faster and that apps like Poweramp and Sygic are running reasonably now - this I just can confirm now. Basically, Tontek seems just to have adjusted the firmware to make it run with the new hardware but all apps look / behave the same as on the dual core. Unfortunately, the seller did not provide the system update files to have a closer look into the firmware (i.e. to check if Red Mod could be adjusted to run on the quad core).

[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
I have noticed that these units vary in the AN-21U updates,

For example: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Tonghai_Create_AN-21_U#Versions

My Unit runs the update "System Version 2.6.40". Now of course these numbers will not match up with the quad core unit's numbers since all these updates have been modified, however they all vary in which update they carry. Now what does this mean? I don't know. Yet...
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
I can confirm that kingroot works, [MENTION=7017702]imableeblob[/MENTION] you might want to update the first post :)

I've been getting the usual Chinese stalling techniques from my seller. Still on it and they're still promising to provide the update files.... we'll see.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
two new problems i've noticed - wondering if anyone has these or has fixed these somehow:

1) i have my unit set to 1 hour delay turn off, which usually works but maybe 1/4 of the time it doesn't, i.e, it does a full reboot even after just turning key from acc to off to acc again.

2) sometimes the boot will hang on the android animation - it just freezes. i can hold the power button down for a few seconds twice to get it to reboot, but its a bit annoying.

thanks
[Android Head-Units] gpmg762:
Sounds like a voltage drop turned off your unit. You may want to do a voltage check on the battery to determine if you need a new one.
[Android Head-Units] furry:
EDIT: Issue resolved.

If anyone figures out how, please let me know how I can get into recovery/bootloader on my unit. I have the model with 5 captive buttons on the left side. One reset button is the only hard button on the unit. I opened it up and there are no other hard buttons located anywhere on the unit. Thanks

Hi,

I am new here and I would like to ask for advice.

I like HU for Nissan Qashqai 2014 on Aliexpress with cpu: Allwiner R16 1.6 GHz Cortex A7 Quad-core (perhaps it Kaier KR-1030).

I read that there are some problems (bluetooth connection etc.).It is a problem of CPU, or the whole unit?

Because it sells similar HU with Rockchip Cortex A9 Quad Core, 1.6 GHZ.

Thanks for your help.

Martin
[Android Head-Units] danknasty:
Ok I have turned down many headunits that I am interested in beacuse I've been told from sources here and sources from my own research that this "Processor Type: Quadcore R16

CPU: Quad-Core Cortex A9 1.6 Frequency" does not exist. As almost every sales person on ali express selling the headunit I want claims to have the R16 quadcord a9....... I've looked all over and cannot find this configuration. I know there is the rk3188 that has a quad core cortex a9.... I believe the r16 has a quadcore a7 from what i've read. Can anyone confirm I really want to put one of these things in my car. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/9-10...-DVD-GPS-for-Mercedes-Benz-E/32590481123.html or http://www.aliexpress.com/item/9-in...cedes-Benz-E-Class-W211-W209/32572047110.html

I am tempted to believe that this r16 or anything other than the rk3188 exists with quad core cortex a9 because all of these units also have someone dated versions of android os which si 4.4.2
[Android Head-Units] tramin:
I think too,that R16 Cortex A9 does not exist.
[Android Head-Units] Hisma:
I am not experiencing #1, but I have been dealing with #2 since I received my unit. Extremely annoying. It's totally random too, I have not found a way to re-create this problem. It will just randomly freeze on boot-up. Once the unit is fully booted it always works without issue though. Seller hasn't been able to help me. If someone has any ideas on how to fix this, I'm all ears.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
thanks, you could be right - the car battery recently failed a voltage check, but its been starting/working fine so i haven't replaced yet, and its only <5 years old. but, i could believe it would cause an issue like this.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

i have gotten an update .zip from my seller (named "4Core-20151027(4.4.2) - 复件(3).zip" - sounds similar to the version i have already, not sure) but i've never updated before & i have rooted via kingroot from first post here. i'm a bit worried about that - what should i do before using the update, do i need to "unroot" and/or something else?
[Android Head-Units] Hisma:
nothing needs to be done. you can just apply the update to your existing set up and it should go through no problem. I've already done 2-3 updates from my seller without an issue. It will unroot your unit however, so you will need to re-root it if you want that back. It will maintain all your settings and everything, though I went through and did a factory reset after my last update, and I noticed a lot of differences in the way the OS looked and felt after the factory reset. So if you can deal with it, I'd recommend a factory reset after doing the update to get the most out of it.

The update did not fix my freezing on boot issues unfortunately. So it appears the issues are definitely hardware related and not software related. I would love to pin this issue down. It could be battery voltage as I have quite a few devices included... I have 2 amps and a DSP that are being powered by my stock battery, so it could be battery related, but considering how random the freezes are it's just too difficult to tell w/o doing more in depth troubleshooting. I don't want to invest in a new battery just for the hell of it, but if it can be confirmed that it is a battery voltage issue I'd gladly go for a new high capacity battery.

My car is only 2 yrs old by the way. 2014 model.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
thanks! i did an unroot (and undid everything i did while rooted) first just to be safe anyway, it worked out fine as you said.

it turns out the update didn't upgrade any of the 'about' screens version #'s, but maybe it did something anyway - oddly after two reboots my radio switched itself to the wrong resolution & it was a bear to switch back.... they key to it is that the touch screen doesn't really change, just the display, so you can work out how to hit every button, even the ones you can't see - you just have to remember where they all are - i happened on the 'extra settings' button after a short while luckily. i'm not sure if this changed because i removed the sd card, or because of something the 'upgrade' did, or maybe just bad luck... am hoping it was something the upgrade did & it did other things that might help.

i will let you know if/when i replace the car battery - i may do it soon as i don't expect it to last much longer anyway.
[Android Head-Units] Hisma:
Cool let me know about the battery.
[Android Head-Units] doucettom:
I just happend to buy this unit:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Quad...l-Car-Radio-Double-2-din-Car/32550528479.html

So I guess I'm in the right thread for my unit. Mine has been running great so far but I still now and then experience some problems with the bluetooth / Cell phone. I have yet to receive my Elm321 OBDII, so I can't tell for this part though.

Thanks,

PS. Asked seller for software updates. Will keep posted.
[Android Head-Units] Jacklad:
I have a version of this one - says "TopWay" on the splash screen -was trying to get the bluetooth to autoconnect, but no matter what I did it didn't work - after paring and re-pairing the phone and head unit several times, it suddenly started to auto connect - has done it every time since without fail - strange thing is before there would be a bluetooth icon on the upper task bar that would turn blue when connected - now there is no icon at all, but phone is connected perfectly - it actually fully connects before home page appears at boot-up - this was the only real issue i had, and now everything is awesome -
[Android Head-Units] Prison91:
I can confirm this too. I have the topway too. Mine is auto connect on every start up, but the bluetooth icon is sometimes there, sometimes not.

(I have installed a weather app which shows the celsius at the notification bar. When the unit starts, the celsius is not on the statusbar. I have to go out from the radio(or the music player) to the homesreen, and it appers.) Maybe there is something which is only loads when the launcher started.
