Heya Guys,

Anyone have information about firmware which I can use for this unit:

ibb.co/hkL3Ta
[Android Head-Units] FernandoPradelli:
Thanks, my unit has firmware V7.3.1_201612229.175327_TW2, and you suggest me to try V7.3.2_20170801.182935_KED1, can I install a firmware of a different extension to tw2?

Does not damage the original mcu of my unit?

I have no experience with car unit

You can install this firmware. TW2 or KED1 does not matter.

This firmware does not contain the firmware for mcu.
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
My unit seems to be a little bit like a "diva"...

...downloaded and installed xposed 3.1.1, let the app download and install the framework.

After that i needed to rebuild the cache to get it work again...

Then i installed "Gravity Box (MM)" and "Xperia/AOSP Navbar Buttons" modules, activated them and restarted the unit.

After the restart my Homscreen Wallpaper was gone, it switched between a black background and the stock Wallpaper from launcher. And the touchscreen did not respond to any touch! :eek:

Only a flash of ****-jones rom solved the issue (by flashing stock framework wich removed xposed framework).

Seems to be hard times to find out whats ok or not for this unit...:rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] FernandoPradelli:
was trying to install the firmware V7.3.2_20170801.182935_KED1-mod.rar, which extracted 4 files on a pendrive, system update, I selected the drive but did not see the files, I updated it from the recovery ?, which option suits me ? Thank you

Correction, now is working...
[Android Head-Units] FernandoPradelli:
thanks to ****-jones, the usb work properly, the bluetooth continues to fail with phone calls, but it works with music, is there any alternative apk to try?
[Android Head-Units] FernandoPradelli:
Hi my unit does not have sdcard, only 2 usb ports rear, I need to add a port more or emulate an internal directory as an extsdcard for an application to use, is there any way to do it ?, thanks

[MENTION=8296611]****-jones[/MENTION]

I'm sorry to bother you again! But i can not register and download files at 4pda, so i hope you can give me an modded apk file:

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=792456&view=findpost&p=58357131

It is the radio app in green colors, fitting for my Skoda car.

Would be great if you could give me the file. And if there are other apk's modded in green color (like music, dvd, or others) i would be happy if you could share it.

If you don't want to do in public, pm would also be ok!
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Take that
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Great, thanks a lot!

There is no music file in green i guess?
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
i did not see
[Android Head-Units] teeboz:
Are there any firmware updates for the jeep wrangler version of the allwinner radio?
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:

Does this Firmware [ FIRMWARE ] supports our devices (Allwinner R16) ??
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
No. Another processor.
[Android Head-Units] teeboz:
Wouldn't update but thanks anyway ****.
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
Hi, thanks everybody for all those useful informations.

I own an Allwinner R16 device and I would like to know is there is a rooted ROM available?

My unit is working but I have several troubles (cannot pair with my bluetooth OBDII device ELM327 and many simple features that do not work as advertised).

Attached is the "About device" screenshot of my unit :

[IMG="screenshot"]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/569891IMG20170920175756.jpg[/IMG]
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
Thank you.

I did copy the .rar file on my SDcard.

I also did with a USB stick, but without success.

Do you have any recommendation?
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
You need to extract the files from the archive and put them in the root of the disk, not in the folder
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
When you say the disk, you mean the disk of the unit, not on my SDcard ?
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
He means into your sdcard.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
disk is usb flash drive or sd card

2. Flashing firmware

I choose the system upgrade，But forget USB has RECOVERY file

SO.... MY system upgrade to recovey.....

how can fix ..... ?
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
copy the usb flash drive firmware (4 files) and flash it

how to do it read in the first post - item 2
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
That's what I did (FAT32 formated SDcard, or USB stick).

I put it in the SD slot, turn the key to ACC, then the unit boot and nothing happens.

Same thing with "system update".

What would you recommend? Maybe I'm missing something? Also pressing the reset button just reboot the unit.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Read the first post item 2

Show me the screenshot of Settings-About
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
Yep, that's the first thing I did (and read many times).

I tried "system update" but it's looking for a .ZIP file. Then I did a .zip file containing the 4 files from your firmware but it was stuck on "coping files"...
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
1. Show me the screenshot of Settings-About

2. What firmware do you use?
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
Here it is :

[IMG="screenshot"]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/569891IMG20170920175756.jpg[/IMG]

I'm using that firmware : V7.3.2_20170801.182935_KED1-mod
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
All right. Must update. The file manager sees a USB stick?

Connect the USB flash drive with firmware and show the screenshot Settings-Car settings-System update
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
Here is the About (my system is in english now) :

Then, Wireless update > Local update :

In the File Manager :

USB drive :

SDcard:
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
I will repeat.

Settings then Car settings then System update!

Not Wireless update > Local update.
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
My bad...

Will do it and post it here
[Android Head-Units] z88793822:
thanks . my HU is alive

i use Key 1 (steering wheel controls) to ground, then press and hold Reset for 10 seconds; release Reset and disconnect Key 1 when "update" is displayed
[Android Head-Units] Shnalla:
System is upgrading.

Don't know why but I forgot about "Car settings"...

USB stick as well as Sdcard are seen by the system.

Big thanks ****-joones :good:

Edit : everything went smooth, my device is upgraded.

Hizpo R16 Stereo Issues

So I purchased this head unit which seems to be the same as what is being discussed in this thread.

I want to install Redmod so I decided to first do a factory reset to remove all the preinstalled apps and garbage that was on the unit. Once i did the reset, things stopped working!!! It is as if the launcher cannot load and the settings app doesnt work. I tried doing a hard reset, nothing... The radio app loaded automatically and played sound, but I cannot navigate anywhere (settings, home, etc, dont work). I went ahead and installed Redmod using the hardware buttons to initiate an update and it seemed to go okay except when the unit booted up I got similar results. The radio app loads, but I cannot leave it, launcher and settings dont work, plus I am getting some weird russian errors. So then I tried ****-jones' latest firmware and same thing... I even tracked down the original firmware and nothing...

I am at a loss I dont know what else I can do. My original firmware and MCU can be seen here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/zQ7JPZ53a7m7T6Ph1

Does anyone have any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
1. Does not work touchscreen?

2. After installing RedMond, you must do Factory reset, be sure. Twice!

3. You can control the head unit with a usb mouse and usb keyboard.

4. If the touchscreen does not work, you can try this

Go to the menu item Settings-Car settings-Extra settings-Touch Area. Set the value of none to Position
[Android Head-Units] djblaze852002:
Thanks for the info. Using a keyboard to enter the system recover to factory reset seems to have done the trick. I guess the factory reset within the OS is different than the factory reset from recovery. So far so good. I waiting to activate Redmod. Once it is activated I will report back in case anyone else is interested in getting redmod themselves. Thanks agian!
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Would like to hear about your experience with Redmod!
[Android Head-Units] mrkambo:
I'd like to hear how you get on with this, im assuming this ROM will work on all R16 devices?
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Dear,

My bluetooth doesnt connect to my phone since I had rooted my headunit.

It also changed the bluetooth setting on my headunit, before it was CAR KIT, now it changed to iTopway.

In this case, do I need to do the factory reset, or just upgrade with firmware ?
[Android Head-Units] gordonpn:
Kingoroot is not working for me, I've tried several times, but it keeps getting stuck at 90% and then it reboots without root.

Anyone knows an alternative I could try?
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Changed in Settngs-Car settings-Extra settings-Config info?

Change back!

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 AM ----------

Install the firmware with the built-in root from this thread
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
No, I didnt change anything is extra settings.

But, even I cannot see the option to upgrade the firmware.

You can check the screenshots here
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
1. Update the firmware of what?

2. What is selected in the menu item Settings-Car settings-Extra settings-Config info?

There may be three options for bluetooth. The first is BC6, the second is BC8, the third is not BC6 and not BC8.

Try to change.
[Android Head-Units] gordonpn:
I can use that firmware if my MCU version is 5.3.19-1-10-616101-161116

and System version is V7.3.1_20170328.104747_TH6-1 ?
[Android Head-Units] teeboz:
Got a new unit Allwinner R16 and cannot get bluetooth to work. It will not connect to any of my devices. Anyone experience this. Any suggestion on a solution.

Yes, for example, the latest version of V7.3.2_20170826.102252_KED1-mod, after installation, make a factory reset.

[Android Head-Units] teeboz:
Worked

Thanks that worked...also found my system version update menu was disabled due to usb 1.1 not set correctly.
[Android Head-Units] mrkambo:
Im about to try this ROM as well, i just want the standby time to work correctly! Im starting to get irritated by the little issues with the uni!
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Do you mean "Sleep mode"?

If so, this is a problem for many HU owners. I do not use this feature.
[Android Head-Units] mrkambo:
Yes sorry Sleep Mode, well i've updated to the above ROM, and Sleep Mode delay still isnt work, might give up on it for now, this ROM seems to boot up a few seconds quicker as well
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Not sure if that tried anybody here. But in another forum somebody mentioned, that removing ALL the google stuff has helped a lot in speed up of the whole system.

If had more time, i would give it a try, but right now i need my car and with music player working.
[Android Head-Units] mrkambo:
I've tried this, but it breaks the OS, and you have to re-flash everything including the MCU, not sure if there is a particular technique to it
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
For sure you need to be careful, what you delete!

But also MicroG Project should be an alternative.

But for test things, whats possible, you need a lot of time, sadly.

Because without recovery backup of the whole system partition, restoring things on this units is a real pain.
[Android Head-Units] teeboz:
Okay, tried to update R16 again. Now stuck at Android logo. Tried wiping system in recovery but still stuck at android logo. Then tried key turn off method to load firmware, also shorting key 1 wire. System shows starting update and quickly shows end update and goes back to android logo. I can get into recover no problem. Need help any suggestions.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Try to flash the firmware from another usb flash drive
[Android Head-Units] teeboz:
**** where can i find this as as a os_update.zip. my unit is stuck at loading android logo.

thanks

Recovery Allwinner T3

The zip file I tried was giving me an error in /sidleoad/package.zip.

But I found that with the T3 units, at least the one i have. Before you can update with the 4 files when stuck at Android screen. Use this method for recovery.

For T3 Units

Put in usb with 4 files from V8.2.3_20170902.134531_KED1-mod

Boot into the Bootloader with one of the methods mentioned in early thread. (keyboard)

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Reboot to system

Use below method.

Hold Home, press Reset, and keep holding Home until the update starts (thanks).

A hardware solution is to short Key 1 (steering wheel controls) to ground, then press and hold Reset for 10 seconds; release Reset and disconnect Key 1 when "update" is displayed (thanks).

Yet another procedure might be needed for some units (thanks): Using a USB stick prepared as above and inserted in the unit, turn ignition to ACC, press Reset, turn ignition off, then after 5 seconds turn it again to ACC. A video is also available

Update should start.

Upgraded my astar_d7 to android 6.0.1 using 4PDA firmware and your guide. I have a couple questions is there an update for my MCU 5.3.18-23-41-E43101-160531? Also I have sync so my Bluetooth is through the car. I tried a USB Bluetooth dongle in the head unit and it shows in the USB host but won't do Bluetooth. Any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
The black (thick) wire to ground and both the yellow (thick) and red (thin) wires to +12VDC. I use a variable voltage power supply to provide the power but any strong enough +12VDC supply will do (anything between 11.5V and 14V will probably do); just be warned that the unit draws close to 1.5A when powered on, so a 20W power supply will work but anything less may be troublesome.

If you happen to have an ISO header then the attached pinout will help identifying the wires (you want GND, ACC, and Battery, all in Connector A). The document as a whole is specific to KIA Sorento, but Connector A and Connector B are both ISO so when it comes to the power wires the document should apply to any ISO header.

Hope this helps.
[Android Head-Units] zerozoneice:
thx but i'll stick to connecting it in the car for this one :)

by the way, i noticed a "SYSTEM UPDATE" menu entry under the MCU UPDATE entry in Car Settings....is this where you tried updating the FW from?

I tried it via "Wireless Update" from the "about Device", and then selected local update from its menu....

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

you can get it from the 4PDA forum
[Android Head-Units] khalwd:
I tried everything thing i know and read about to update the firmware.

after I unzipped and copied the files to the root of my Fat32 SD card:

- I tried using apps to reboot to recovery (didn't work, just rebooting the system)

- I tried using the REST button. Didn't work either also just a system reboot.

- I tried from the settings menu choosing "system update" choice. But it did nothing too (look like the update choice isn't enabled!!)

Anything else I should try?

I updated pictures of my menu settings. I hope someone can help with it.
[Android Head-Units] zerozoneice:
couldn't nail it. impossible.
[Android Head-Units] khalwd:
anyone has an idea about how to do a hard reset with no physical buttons?

my head unit stock on the boot image :'(
[Android Head-Units] velvetpig:
I feel for you,

I have the same situation (stops on android screen)

I may be wrong but i think hard reset has been disabled on some Chinese head units, I have a INFIDINI unit

Cant post link

I have 4 hard buttons on mine but no combinations work and no info on the net.

Joying units can be hard reset (youtube full of it but nothing else)

Im over it and bying a new head unit

Good luck
[Android Head-Units] khalwd:
Im thinking about doing the same thing now.

Im looking at the Joying with intel cpu and 2gb ram. im thinking about taking it and replace its 7" screen with my 10.2" screen. i have read in some Russian site that it could be done.

But not %100 sure about that.
[Android Head-Units] pir8man:
I spent my day getting educated about my head unit today. From reading up on the 4pda threads HERE and HERE and finally a look at the previous model's thread HERE.

With a fresh partition dump on a USB drive, I was set to go testing. My particular version is EONON's GA2162 Model. I loaded several versions of the OS found on 4PDA. I am currently running the latest that I found, dated 20170224. Each version worked well with the onboard MCU. At one point, I had to factory reset because my hardware buttons stopped responding. This only occurred once, but I wanted to mention it in case anyone gets stuck with this situation.

It appears that the MCU is what really makes the hardware work with the Android system. the ROM is pretty much interchangeable between the various models based on this board. I found the included apps and icon colors were the difference between releases. Functionality was flawless on each of the 5 versions I tested today.

I could not get PhoenixSuit or LiveSuit to operate with my unit. I believe it is because I do not have the correct cable type. Because of that I was stuck with the boot downloader to update the system partition. This went painlessly. I loaded the four flash files to the root folder of my USB stick and connected it to the head unit. Then booted to download mode.

From the previous model thread, i found all the access I needed with:

USB Debugging password: "john@tw-desktop"

Extra Settings password: 123456

Developer Options password: 7890

I have a DD dump of my original ROM. It is 370MB in size. I saw the requests for a post of it. Any suggestions on where to post such a large file?

Boot Modes:

Download Method 1: Hold "HOME" hardware button and press 'Reset" button. Release "HOME" button at update mode screen.

Download Method 2: Short "Key1" wire to ground will force download mode.

Recovery Method 1: Enter "reboot recovery" command from a command line (terminal or adb).

Recovery Method 2: Attach a USB keyboard. Hold "Alt" key AND "Print Screen". While holding, keep tapping "i". When the system restarts, it should trigger a restart in recovery mode.
[Android Head-Units] velvetpig:
Thank you for your efforts, Makes a big difference for people like me that don't have a clue."

May i ask what is a DD Dump?

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] zerozoneice:
i did it :)

and also managed to upgrade to FW from 29.12, also android 6.0.1. No notable changes though...

one question: would it be possible to somehow modify the screen density in order to show apps interface a bit "larger"?

Increasing the fonts doesn't completely do the trick, since clearly some text / areas in apps (i'm thinking Waze) seems "hardcoded".
[Android Head-Units] zerozoneice:
guys, i managed to get a FW update for a Allwinner T3 headunit...attached the build.prop. Can anything be done/modified with it?
