Hi Pir8man,

I have also managed to gain root access using a combination of both KingOroot and King Root. Not sure how it worked but Root Checker confirmed root.

The problem now is I can't get SuperSU installed as it can't update the binary :confused: did you have any success with this? I've tried rebooting, but, despite that I can't find the King Root or KingOroot Super User despite SuperSU saying there is another Super User and tried but failed to uninstall it...

HELP!! After rebooting the unit is now in a boot loop on the Android logo and not going any further. Unlike other units it does not have a reset button, only capative keys that function after the system has booted up... What to do? Or is it FUBAR'd??

Any ideas??

Cheers

Install this firmware V7.3.2_20170801.182935_KED1
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Hi ****-jones,

Are you referring to me? If so can you provide a link on how to do it? I presume load rar file onto USB (FAT 32) connect to HU, then ground Key 1 and power on?

If so can you confirm whether the ACC feed needs to be permanently connected or just briefly to trigger relay to turn unit on and the again to turn unit off?

Many Thanks

Guy
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Yes, this is for you.

You must extract the files from the archive and write directly to usb flash, not to the folder.

Then ground "Key1" wire and power on.

After you see "Start update", you can disconnect Key1.

Wait until the update is complete.

Do not turn off the power (the ACC feed needs to be permanently connected).
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
You are a gentleman and a scholar :good::good:

Just to confirm as I'm always a little paranoid ;) that this firmware will work on my Seicane head unit which has an 8.8 inch 1280x480 screen and not the standard 1024x600 7 inch screen. Also my firmware and System version are different to that of the OP (see attached).

Thanks again for your help and support :good:

Cheers

Guy
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Ok hat's off Seicane failed, your ROM worked just need to set it up.

One question do I need to give KingRoot SU permissions? Or is that a legacy from my old installation that I can delete?

Cheers

Guy
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
You can uninstall this program
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Thanks again, duly uninstalled, Root Checker and SuperSU confirm root. BT paired and WiFi connected so time to set it up with apps and see if with root Automate Car Dashboard works as launcher without freezing.

Thanks again :good:

Hi, very good job, a question, I can install the radio widget in my current system, without reinstalling, only with an apk,

And that rom is recommended for my device

thanks
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Hi ****-jones,

Been asking with the ROM android noticed that the launcher doesn't go across the full screen width. Is this because it's set a a 1200x600 resolution, compared to my units 1480x480 resolution? Is there a way I can change this.

Also, somehow managed to get into boot loop again. I suspect it's the boot animation I installed ?, even though I checked it with a boot animation checker.... It now boots partially through the anation then restarts from the boot logo and does this indefinitely. It tried reinstalling you ROM but this doesn't help. .

Any ideas would be great.

Cheers

Guy
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
1. Not sure what can be changed for the resolution of your screen. I'll look for the firmware for your screen resolution

2. Try to do it...

Alternatively recovery can be reached with an external USB keyboard as follows: While holding Alt and Print Screen keep tapping i; the system will eventually restart in recovery (thanks pir8man).

If it does not work, I'll tell you what to do next...
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Hi ****-jones,

"Alt + print screen and i" worked a treat.:good:

Tried downloading the firmware and it tried to get me to download a Chinese APK for a mail app...

I'm embarrassed to ask more questions and assistance but how do I get the firmware downloaded?

I'm hoping Seicane will come through but that takes time...

Cheers

Guy
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Sorry, I did not check the link ... I'll look for more
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
No worries, hopefully Seicane will provide me with a copy soon... you've mean more than helpful:good:

[Android Head-Units] Richardvi:
Hi Everybody!

Is there a simple way to get rid of the launcher that starts everytime I turn on the device? I would want a normal home screen on my device. I have an Android 6 device.

Also, I have noticed that some apps I try to install simply don't work. Whatsapp immediately says my device is not compatible. Prey (an app to track devices) installs but I can not get it to start afterwards.

It looks like the boot up sequence is pretty tight as it always loads the launcher and I can't get other apps to sideload on startup (like the Prey service)
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Hi,

I was playing around with your ROM using Nova Launcher and found that I can now use "Five Wallpapers" app to have different backgrounds. Is this something you enabled? Because I tried with the OEM ROM and it didn't work, and Seicane comfirmed as much also.

If so great stuff really helps me. If not them I'm guessing it was either a feature of the ROM you used, or a result of the rooting. Either way :good::good:

Cheers

Guy
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
It's not me. I did not do this. These are changes in Kaier's OEM ROM.

In your OEM ROM, you can find it in the menu item Settings-Memory-Background cleanup list. You must disable the application in the list and it will work.

My Unit has the following specs:

MCU 5.3.19-7-12-656201-170225

[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
If you have Allwinner R16 processor you can use it...

I collect the Launche2 applications. Thank you.

Yes you can use this firmware.
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Couldn't find that setting anywhere in the ' Settings' menu. However, not to worry as it currently works.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
No worries, I finally got the firmware from Seicane this morning.

Interestingly, the files are identical to your modded and pre-rooted firmware... (see attached)

How easy would it be to pre-root the Seicane firmware like yours?

Here's mine:

It sucks. That's why I want to get rid of it and get to a normal homescreen. Just don't know how... so I might up ending flashing your firmware over the entire thing.
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
That's exactly the same as mine. I created my own home screens using either Nova Launcher or Total Launcher. To be honest the worst thing about the stereo is you can't redefine the default apps for Music, Video, Etc. or at least I don't think so...

Guy
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Received, downloaded. Only root access or anything else?
[Android Head-Units] Richardvi:
I think we have the same device, only mine has a Mercedes casing so it fits my dashboard.

Please keep me posted, I read all your posts and you probably have many advises for me now :)
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Thank you. Can you copy /system/priv-app/Launcher2/Launcher2.apk and attach here?
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Hmmm.... only really your radio app if possible as that's way better than stock, and also if you can bake in the ability to use live wallpapers? - But only if it's not massive work. I like your launcher but it would need re-configuring to suit the resolution which would be a pain in the ..... so could you maybe include it as a separate apk?

I think launcher wise I'm going to try and do something with either Nova or Total launcher because I have no idea how to "build' a launcher app. I'd like to do something like the attached but I don't think that'll be possible with my limited skills

Cheers

I'll try to help where I can, as this forum and especially ****-jones have helped massively to get the head unit sorted.

Guy
[Android Head-Units] Richardvi:
Is there an easy way to do that?

I mean, I can get to the files with ESfile-explorer or something, then copy it to an usb drive, than copy it to my laptop and then post it here?

If it could be done more easy let me know :)

BTW, these are my specs... which firmware would you recommend?

Spasibo.
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Okay your system firmware is identical to mine so ****-jones' pre-rooted firmware will work.

However, before using can you check in ES File Explorer how your USB drive is identified. I seem to remember it was as a SD Card and not USB. Can you confirm that or otherwise. Reason I ask is that now Google Play Music, PlayerPro etc don't recognise the USB stick with all my music on:confused: So trying to resolve that now...

Oh and the attached should be our launcher.

Cheers

Guy
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Yes!

This is another launcher :(
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Yep I noticed that also after I flashed the firmware I was sent. I presume it's like the attached picture?

Also noticed that whilst the MCU version is the same the firmware has changed from PH10 to PH1radio. Again see attached.

I'll email dedicate and see if I can get the original firmware I had...

Cheers

Firmware for devices with screen resolution of 1280x480 only!

V7.3.1_20170424.173302_PH3-mod-1280x480.rar - temporary link

V7.3.1_20170424.173302_PH3-mod-1280x480.rar - permanent link

Thanks to Guyzer73 for the OEM firmware.

Changes:

Add root

Radio

Add autostart applications

Disabled red message (suitable for any device from any manufacturer with a screen resolution of 1280x480 only!)

Notes:

After installation make a factory reset.

If live wallpapers do not work, see menu item Settings-Memory-Background cleanup list. You must disable the live wallpaper (or application) in the list and it will start work. (This menu item is missing for the Kaier's firmware since 2017-May-09 and newer).

To Guyzer73, other Launcher2.apk see message #177 on page 18.
[Android Head-Units] Richardvi:
I managed to get rid of the launcher by installing 'Google Now'. At some point Google asked me if I wanted the launcher as home screen or the Google as home screen. Chose the last, and that's all she wrote for that buggy launcher of ours...

Is there any advantage now to change to another firmware? I mean, what will I gain by it? Everything seems to be working OK now.

Just some apps don't run. I can not install 'Prey anti theft' app nor can I install whatsapp. But there are always wishes I think.

Have not used my radio to play music so far Guyzer73. Radio reception sucks. I ordered an 128GB USB drive, once it's in I will start putting my music on it.

One more thing: you can change default NAV program when you go to Settings -> Car options.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
I changed my post #272.

Changed the firmware version to V7.3.1_20170424.173302_PH3-mod-1280x480.rar
[Android Head-Units] Guyzer73:
Awesome job D-J, I'm off on business so will have a proper play when I'm back. However from the initial install everything seems to work except the BT, but I still need to do the factory reset. Have noticed the launcher is the same as in other more recent versions, enrichment a problem as I'll replace it anyway. Will still try and get the original launcher to add to your collection ;)

Now a completely out of left field question. If I have the apk for the radio app how easy would it be to include "intents" so another app (Automate car dashboard) can communicate and control it? Same would go for the BT app....

Again great work and thanks so much:good::good:

This worked on my GA2162

Try this:- Got root on my GA2162 stock rom:- Did factory reset (password 7890) then used apk. installer to install Kingroot and KingOroot from sd card (apps downloaded on windows) then copied both files to inand. (no internet connection at this time)

Hit Kingroot, took about 30 seconds, root established. Connected to internet, downloaded root checker from Google Playstore, ran root checker, root verified.

I probably didn't need to install KingOroot, I've just quoted above the exact steps that were successful.
[Android Head-Units] jmel:
Thanks. I was hoping not to have to reset... I guess I can give it a shot. I couldn't get kingroot to work so far. Maybe it was an update? Would that be what makes the factory reset work, because an update stops kingroot from working?
[Android Head-Units] Jefft5:
I can't say for sure, I tried to root the 2162 several times without success but the two main differences in the method that worked for me was the factory reset and downloading Kingroot on my Windows PC and doing an APK install instead of obtaining Kingroot from Google Playstore and also copying them to inand, also I did not connect to the internet until root was established. Or it could be that I was just lucky on that occasion......

Using the usb keyboard, go to recovery, press Alt + PrtScr + i. Do wipe data / factory reset.
