[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jdp2510:
What kind of specifics do you need?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jdp2510:
I haven't been able to get any other roms to work. The ruu meant for my phone keeps failing, the name of the ROM is what details my phone says,
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I already asked exactly what ROMs you tried.

You say you can't get "any ROMs" to work, and only name one (that

does

work).

You probably are trying to flash ROMs that don't support the Sprint version M8.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Yup, and it will keep failing, if you just try the same thing over and over.

Did you try to do as I suggested in my post #10 above (flash MM firmware.zip, then try the RUU again)?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrh_220287:
I've converted my HTC ONE M7_UL to GOOGLE PLAY EDITION, and NOW my M7 at Android 5.1! Its updated via OTA. Too BORING with this GPE, i want to convert it back to LOVELY SENSE! But i wondering will it work? If POSSISBLE, please show me how, whats i need to do this?

Thanks for ALL! :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Change back the CID and MID numbers to match the RUU you want to flash, update your hboot from 1.54 to 1.57 or 1.61 so your phone will accept a 7.xx.xxx.xx RUU, then flash your 7.xx.xxx.xx 5.0.2/Sense RUU.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrh_220287:
thanks bro, my CID is already SUPER CID, and MID is 712000, just flash my hboot to 1.61 and flash RUU Sense again?
[Nextbit Robin] km8j:
With the Robin being so big comparatively, do you find that it is hard to use one handed? It is much larger than the s7
[Nextbit Robin] oldpreowner:
I own both the robin and the s7, the only problem I have with the robin is reaching the top left corner in my right hand. I guess it's due to the front facing speakers. Ill be honest, i use the robin way more than the s7.
[Nextbit Robin] km8j:
Right this was my concern. I cannot even reach the top left of the s7. I really want a Nextbit mini
[Nextbit Robin] ToHellWithGA:
I just got a Robin after having a first generation Moto G for 2 years; I never had to use two hands in portrait orientation on that sanely sized phone. The Robin doesn't feel any bigger than my wife's Nexus 5, likely because a good bit of the overall length is just for the speakers. With the one-handed Google Keyboard all letters are in easy reach for typing. I don't think I'll have to switch to two-handed operation because most apps' interactive elements are far from the top.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neville Hayes:
I bought a HTC one XL on ebay about a year ago and its so slow with old software/firmware ? I want to get a good ROM it is unlocked and rooted but I don't know how to tell if it is AT&T or not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm.frenzy:
I use an LG Exceed 2 and like a month ago I went into superuser and deleted some android files which came with the system, I factory reset it and now it says "Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped." Is there a way I could recover those files at all? I went into Safe Mode and it said the same thing! Please help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You will have to refresh the stock software.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minimale_ldz:
You need to either reflash the system, or find TWRP flashable zip of your current OS, extract it and copy the items you deleted. Or you can try editing build.prop and change "ro.setupwizard.mode" value to "DISABLED". It might work after reboot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm.frenzy:
How would I do that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatDroid:
maybe u deleted the setup files that we use after booting a new rom or killed the launcher.

Just copy the files u deleted by recovery or reflash ur built in rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm.frenzy:
How? I got back into the phone but setup wizard is still missing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatDroid:
do u have ur stock rom?

if yes..

Then..

1)extract your rom with any archiver software.

ex-winrar,zarchiver

for pc - winzip etc

(pro version recommended)

There's an app called setup wizard.

(it depends on your rom.

On samsung stock its samsung setup wizard, on cm its cyanogenmod setup wiz)

U will see something like that on your

rom/system/app or priv-app/here

copy that one to ur phone's root/system/app or priv-app

exactly where its located on ur stock rom.

(u need a root explorer software to put that in ur system)

Easiest way is find ur stock rom and flash it.

If u r new to this things,get help from somebody who knows.

:)

I have been looking for any way to get Google Maps notifications on my watch since I got it. It's the only thing keeping me from returning it.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
I was under the impression there may be some hardware changes to be made but i cannot get any info at all from them. Anyone know what is actually going on?

Dave
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] MueKo:
Hi this is the info i got last week:

"Because your car radio is Android 4.4, and for all of our Android 5.1 system, in order to improve our product, we have change some in our mother board and core board, so the hardware also different from Android 4.4, your head unit can upgrade to Android 5.1, but need change mother board and core board, also need firmware upgraded. For Android 4.4 customers, we will help them to upgrade, but need time also may need some fees, not sure now, pls wait more time and waiting for our factory's decision."

May the info you looking for.

Regards
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Wow they are definitely screwing their existing customers with this. Their advertising led us to believe we could upgrade cost free. My unit is within 30 days from amazon I may return it and get the exact same unit in 5.1. I wonder if the hardware is any better on the 5.1 unit.

Dave
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
you can surely use the return period and go with the 5.1 android units.

there is no intention to screw the customers. Joying is listening to customers and trying to improve the head units.

the new hardware comes with android 5.1 the old hardware needs more work to figure out the android 5 upgrade on it.

I think the android 4.4.4 head units are more stable , android 5.1 units have more potential in the future...

If android 4 head units work for you well then enjoy it.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
The thing is, it appeared they were trying to sell their remaining 4.4 units stating "all joying" head units were upgradeable to 5.1. I'm fairly sure they knew quite some time ago their existing hw wouldn't work as the 5.1 units that are out now didn't just come out of thin air. From their site.

more info from their site
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] CadillacMike:
has anyone gotten a new one with 5.1 on it? Wasnt' there a thread here somewhere where someone proved someone was selling 5.1 but it was just a skimmed 4.4? not saying it was Joying, I dont remember the details
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
I just purchased a 5.1. It was $70 cheaper from them than it was on amazon.

Dave
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] jakejm79:
The beta JY software available for the KitKat devices was just a skinned KitKat made to look more like Lollipop.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Lets hope the joying 5.1 I get is actually 5.1 or I'll boot that junk back to China faster than they could ever imagine.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Luxferro:
Do you have an Audi TT? If so, can you let me know if you have any issue with the steering wheel button settings app? I can't remap any buttons on my android HU that runs 5.1.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
I do not, sorry.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
Do Not mix ROM of mtcB with mtcD Head units!

lol why would Joying dress up 4.4.4 as 5.1 and sell it.

Android is open and everyone can see if it is really 5.1 or 4.4.4.

Joying has been around for a long time and they are planning to be around for the long run. This is not a quick sell and run business.

If you have any issue contact carjoying or me and we will help you out.

WARNING:

I have had few customers already with bricked Head units for flashing the wrong ROM.

DO NOT FLASH ROM and MCU from mtcD on mtcB or vice versa.

YOU WILL END UP WITH NO RECOVERY, NO BOOT, NO WARRANTY!

\THE ONLY FIX NOW:

mtcD : NEW MOTHERBOARD with RK3188

mtcB: NEW RK3188 SoM

​
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
If you really need to ask this you won't understand the answer. It's already been done also. I'm not saying it was car joying that has done it but it's been done.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
Do not invest 200-500$ in a seller that will not be around tomorrow or has no reputation.

Of course I have bought ipads on ebay and got a spoon in the mail instead.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] dgcruzing:
DM,

Classic reply..

As they say.. Buyer beware

Do your homework before you buy and just remember that if its cheaper by 50-100 then high chance you could end up with a lemon..

As to support.. Lol.. You think they really care?

Every device screws over their customers. All of this junk has a use by date. 1 year 2 years. And what's made it worst is they are all as bad as each other rushing to market. Samsung, Google, Asus, HTC and even Apple.. They don't make these devices for fun.. Its all about churn.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] eurominican:
I bought this unit with the understanding that it would be upgradable FOR FREE to 5.1 and now this is not the case. I want my money back.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
no one can help you here, contact your seller.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] eurominican:
Just voicing my frustration and agreement with OP. Joying has been saying that these units would be upgradable to lollipop for free and now they're completely backing out. At the very least they should swap them out for free we should just pay return shipping
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
They offer free updates on the ROM but the ROM of mtcD devices are not compatible on mtcB devices and they are different devices.

They are trying to figure out what bricks the mtcB devices in android 5.

There was no intention to trick customers and we are still hoping to figure out the issue that does not let the mtcB get the upgrade and the mtcB head units will still updates and bug fixes as before.

Contact Joying with your issue and they might accept to switch out your device with an mtcD.

I got a chance to play around with the new mtcD units

they are faster and boot in 10 seconds but they have many bugs that need to be worked out and we do not have malaysk ROM for them which is a big draw back...

as of now I still do not recomend the mtcD head units till the issues are ironed out and there is a better support out there.

your old mtcB should serve you well.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] eurominican:
Thanks for your post. Makes a lot of sense.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
They must have given you a ringer as the MTCD I just got from joying boots in about 25 seconds.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
the unit I tested was a 10" tablet mtcD and it did boot in 7 to 10 seconds.

no apps installed. just original ROM.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
I was using a JY-UL135, clean install w/o any added apps also Definitely faster than my 4.4 but still around 25 seconds.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Luxferro:
My Xtrons that has 5.1 also takes around 20-25 seconds to boot (I think - haven't used car in over a week :( )
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] xBenny:
For Joying Android 4.4.4 Users:

It you want to upgrade your android 4.4.4 to Android 5.1.1, the upgrade is not avaliable to be applied directly .

It requires replacing Coreboard and Motherboard for upgrade, if not, the head unit will die.

We can offer the necessary coreboard and motherboard for Joying Android 4.4.4 users, but you need to pay the pastage 20$ and deposit 130$(usually it need 200$).

Two-way postage:

Deposit: 130 dollars, we will refund it to you after you replace head unit is ok and we receive the old parts.

So all parts for free. Please contact to us and tell us your order number by support@carjoying.com

For all 130$ plus 20$ shiping=150$ motherboard and coreboard and shipping fees

from www.carjoying.com
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
So it looks like the total will be $20? As the core will be refunded to the user? I find it odd though as it's $100 for the board . Where do you see this exactly? I don't see it on their main page.here on joying

Dave
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] xBenny:
Here - https://www.carjoying.com/Joying-blog/42.html
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
I wonder how much shipping that core back will cost.

Dave
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
it weight like 8oz maybe 1 lb, calculate shipping to Shenzhen china from where you are.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Still shipping to China, cannot be that cheap. Shipping to many US states from within the US is $15-$20

Dave
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
https://ircalc.usps.com/MailService...=0&o=8&dpb=0&mdt=2016/05/03 08:00&ct=4&dvi=10

a safe choice would cost 30$ or so for 8oz
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Right, so ~$50 USD for the upgrade when a new unit shipped right from joying is around $270 right now. So approximately 20% of the new unit. I'm sure it's much more than 8 oz after shipping materials, etc.

Dave
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
I know you are upset and there is nothing to make you happy.

Wish you all the best

if you are in return period please return your unit for refund and buy a USA brand name for 800-1200$ and enjoy it.

So sorry that Joying could not make you happy.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Never said I wasn't happy, just a bit disappointed. Hopefully they can figure out what is causing the issue w/ 5.1.1 bricking the 4.4.4 units and everyone will be happy. I am curious what is really different in the 5.1.1 HW, is is definitely a bit quicker to boot so there is something there.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] themissionimpossible:
IMHO the problem is not that these makers (or their outsourced developers) aren't able to create a Lollipop ROM for the MTCB HUs, the problem is that they don't want to do that, or at least they don't want to spend the money for this development on the old models.

Anyway, having all the information about the MTCB hardware and the Kitkat source code (which they of course do have), I believe that it should be certainly possible to create a Lollipop ROM for these old HUs.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
I have been personally involved with the 5.1 development for mtcB with Joying and I know at least Joying tried to make it work and we kept ending up with bricks.

there is some component that does not work well with android 5.

and of course it is about money. Joying or any other business out there has to make money to survive but there was no conspiracy to force people to upgrade the hardware. I am sure people like to make everything sound like a big corporate plan but sometimes things do not work out so you find the best way to move forward.

anyway there is no end to this discussion. here is the situation as is. let your mind go crazy with conspiracy theories that wont change anything.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] themissionimpossible:
Anyway, should Malaysk (or somebody else) succeed in porting Lollipop to MTCB head units (and even without being paid!), those Chinese manufacturers would make a poor showing for sure....;)
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
I doubt Malaysk can port android 5 to mtcB but he can bring in the new features from mtcD rom to mtcB.

porting android is a major programing job and malaysk would probably brick few mtcB motherboards in trying to do that.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] sterod:
^- THIS. Plus that would be a backwards step in development, MTCB units were never meant to run 5.1.1. Moving forward with MTCD is the logical step. I had a NewsMy NU3001 MTCB unit, at these price points, I see them as disposable. If there is something new, I'm buying it.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] joburgslim:
Hey Doctorman, take it easy on the posters here, we are your and Joyings customers. Calling him a crazy conspiracy theorist isn't very helpful to me, another customer, and is likely insulting to him. I respect your loyalty to your supplier, and hope it continues to be a relationship you value. However, it hasn't worked out that way for everyone.

I am another customer with a unit I purchased direct from Joying website in December. Text chatted with support who assured me 5.1 was around the corner, and all units would be upgraded. I needed lollipop for a specific app, and that is no longer going to happen. They broke their direct word, and also have not honored their web site post (quoted earlier). I respect that sometimes tech problems derail plans, but they should have been more forthcoming and offered easy cost free options to customers promised 5.1. What they are doing is simply wrong by my standards. To say this isn't their fault because they have been in business for a while, is not a clear answer. I know car dealerships and realtors who hook just enough new suckers each year to stay afloat. But it is a poor business and eventually it does catch up.

I personally believe the problem is way worse than just this issue. I had received a unit that would not run Mirrorlink, no matter what I did, you know the Easy Connected app. I just get a black screen and a message after 20 mins saying something like "trial expired Oct 23 2015". After 2 months of emailing Rambo and never getting it to work, Joy sent an email offering a rebate. Then nothing. I follow up with Rambo, and he says "what rebate". I forward him Joy's email, and his reply, I kid you not: " I'll change my email password" as if they were hacked and I should never have been offered a solution.

I still dont have a solution,and I dont expect people with that low business morals to step up to this Android 5.1 upgrade problem, however I do feel for the other users who are on the receiving end of this failure. I don't think I or anyone else is saying there was an intentional conspiracy. But there is lack of transparency and good options for the customers affected by their inability to deliver what they have promised.

For me this problem is over. I bought a used Pioneer, and the Joying is laying in the garage gathering dust. The Pioneer has full Android Auto, no Mic problems, no Radio high frequency audio loss, and much better amplifier. I only paid $380 (open box on Ebay), and new they are $500.

Regards
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
sorry about your trouble with your unit. and sorry if I came out a bit defensive. I was a regular customer and chose joying to do business with due to their good customer service back then. they have grown since and very busy so I could imagine how they would drop the ball here and there...

Anyhow I agree the android 5 was a big mess but they are offering a total hardware upgrade for 20$ which is not bad at all.

Regarding your head unit if you are in USA contact me and I will see if I can help you.

It is not okay to pay for a unit and not be able to use it!

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
Another issue I've got with these guys I've purchased another new 5.1.1 (This time directly from joying) for another car of mine and it was DOA. They said, send me $50 for a new board and we'll refund when we get your core. WHAT? I don't want to have to disassemble and void my warranty on a brand new radio, and on top of that wait weeks to get your replacement part then take my time, I charge $175 /hr. (And probably money) to send it back. I told them no dice and guess what, they've gone silent. I'm giving them one more day before I call my CC company. It is not my responsibility to do your QA guys.

You really never know what you're going to get with these things. I kid you not, I had purchase THREE units on amazon and all had cracked screens in the exact same spot (By the SD card) before i found one actually was undamaged. Another had a screen that was held on with double-sided tape that had separated so the screen could literally be pulled out. I finally got a good 4.4.4 unit and i'm still trying to get one more good 5.1.1 unit. Having multiple cars and being a techy has it's downsides I suppose :)

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Luxferro:
This is why you need to go into purchasing these chinese android head units that you're possibly wasting your time and money. If any of the major car stereo brands ever wakes up, and sees the potential in an android head unit, these chinese companies will be out of business.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] fabien_m2002:
Hello,

is this hardware upgrade stabilised or any further improvments is planned?

What about next android generation, hardware ready or not?

Is it possible to return the old boards to the EU warehouse?

Thanks
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TT_Vert:
I just find it funny how quickly they disappear when you won't be their free techs. I'm sure they'll be more willing to refund me when my CC company comes knocking.

Dave
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] joburgslim:
Yes, sure, I agree the best planning is still subject to glitches, but the character of the leadership is what shows up when that happens. However, I also understand that doing the right thing drives up product prices. I personally will choose more expensive and better products these days, which is a personal preference, and not necessarily right for everyone.

Thanks for the offer on the unit. I have moved on to Pioneer, as I said. I have a second car, my son's, that I thought of putting the Joying into, but I recently came across the JBL CP100, only $400 new, and everything I want. So very kind of you, but I have lost interest in the unit.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] CadillacMike:
I have watched that for awhile, seems to stay on pre-order. Release date has been pushed back several times. Did you actually buy it? I emailed both Crutchfield and JBL and got different dates for each.

feels like it is something that will not really come out
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] joburgslim:
I have the Pioneer NEX4100. Good unit. I am considering the JBL for a 2nd car. They have released it, it is just backordered. Not sure why they keep producing less than orders. Maybe very popular?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] CadillacMike:
I think you are mistaken. I have yet to see anyone have an actual review of the JBL. I have been watching for it. Also on the JBL site it shows a preorder:

I've just returned my 4.4.4 HU back to amazon because the radio reception was so bad that I couldn't bare it any longer. I went back to my good old stock radio. I'm looking for a good radio such as pioneer, jbl, kenwood, or any other known brands. Can someone lead me to a good one for around $200.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
what model car do you have, doe sit have 2 antennas or one?

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] doctorman:
quick google search on google images with your car model and year and "radio" you can see the pic of the radio

look at the back and see if it has one antenna plug or 2.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] ak68:
doctorman,

Does the unit I got from you (JY-UQ130) only need a screen replacement to be updated to a 5.1.1 unit? That seems to be what rambo is indicating with his posts.
