9 out of 10 it will not do OTA updates if you root it, and if it does, you will loose root and have to re-root.

You can also download the updates from the ATOTO web site and install updates via the SD Card but again, you will need to re-root the device if you update the firmware.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Thanks, the reason I was asking was because I want to be able to hide the top status bar and bottom navigation bar using ForceImmersive which is part of Xposed. The non-root methods I've tried to do this will hide the bars, but the catch is when the bars are hidden, the steering wheel control button I've programmed as the "back" command no longer works if the bottom navigation bar isn't visible.
[Android Head-Units] ANDREWT360:
Hey Guys,

Thanks to everyone for posting all this helpful info on this forum truly a big help for me.

I have a ATOTO A6Y2721PRB, I have successfully rooted with King Root and been trying to get Xposed to install.

Since the CPU in our units is ARMv7 I used the SDK23 - ARM Version 89 directly from dl-xda xposed

I used Flash Fire to flash this unit and it went through the motions but now has been stuck on Bootloader for over 30-45min.

Can anyone help me determine what to do from here?

Thanks in advance for all your support.

UPDATE: I am on Android 6.0

UPDATE 2: I have successfully recovered to my back up thanks to all the info/steps in the OP from stabone00 which I did prior to installing Xposed. Question now becomes how do I get Xposed installed and working!? :)

UPDATE 3: I was able to successfully install Xposed doing the following steps:

1. Install Xposed APK V3.1.5

2. Install Version 89 through Xposed Installer App

3. Once Complete, click 3 dots on top right corner and click "Reboot" (not soft reboot)

My past installations failed because after I installed V89 framework I would reboot via ATOTO Restart button

Hope this helps anyone facing a similar problems as me!

Hi,

I bricked my A6 Pro A6Y2721PRB and was stucked at the boot logo. With sp flash tools and mtkdroid I was able to extract a rom from a non A6 pro. I flashed this on the pro and it is booting again, but I cant see something now, because of the new isp display (drivers).

Can someone upload a A6 pro rom , would be really great

Thanks scorpie
[Android Head-Units] Hippie459MN:
I dont think anyone has actually pulled the ROM off the A6 and now with the newer model with the physical buttons, they might have slightly different ROMs but I cant confirm that. I have the older model that doesnt have the physical buttons but I want to upgrade eventually.

Also, while I do have root, I have never tried to do the SP Tools thing and install recovery and pull the ROM. If you know of a good simple less confusing sounding way by all means, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
[Android Head-Units] scorpie67:
I got mine working again, I pulled the rom files from an atoto with gestures even mine is without (but a pro, too), flashed the files and was stuck in bootloop again.

After that I pulled the cash and user data partition and flashed them, took a while for the first boot, but it was working again. Unfortunately a lot of apps got forced closed, after another factory reset thro the settings everything was back to normal. To avoid a complete power off I had to power on and off the acc every 30 seconds for over 100 minutes is not very funny, for this I use a switch while watching a movie

Atoto told me a factory reset can be done with the remote, but not how to do,cuz I told them I don't own one. I think that would have been much easier.

I'm trying to root this sucker using the Hippie459 method but nothing happens when i connect it to a pc to kingroot it by means of male to male usb or male usb to usb-c. I have the usual developer settings active. Any Ideas? Hope its just my cable.

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

Can I root it just by having kingroot installed in the stereo?
[Android Head-Units] Hippie459MN:
I should probably make a note that when I wrote the root instructions it was for the older model that doesnt have the physical buttons. Im not sure if the newer ones with the physical buttons are any different or not as I have never had one (yet).

When you plug the head unit in to your USB port on your computer does it do anything? Make a connection sound at least? I just used a standard male to male usb cord on a USB 2.0 connection. Im also using Win 7 so if you are on Win 10 maybe that has something to do with it. I dont know. I wish I could you more.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
New model has usb mode force to only work as otg. You can't connect to pc with usb. (source atoto assistance) You can active adb over wifi through emulated terminal but on pc it asks the authorization that you should give when connect the first time with usb. Kingoroot and others oneclickroot apk doesn't work. Have you some suggests to try to root?
[Android Head-Units] trueiceman:
yeah i have the standard with the buttons. thanks. has anyone rooted this model?
[Android Head-Units] Hippie459MN:
How many USB connection are on the newer models? Mine has 3 of them and only one of the three will work to root it. The "Quick Charge" usb is the only one that will work on mine.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
On standard version there isn't the quick charge port. However i have tried all tree ports (the front one, the rear one and the rear-cable one).

I also tried to active the quick charge function using OEM settings (password 1617) and to fake the model to be the pro version.

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Hi,

The issue is that there is no connection at all, no connection sound or whatever. It's not a driver or a cable issue.

The model is A6Y2710SB anyway.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
I used Joying Tool (it's the only operation that you can do with the tool). Then i tried also with this guide: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?...sdE6AKXZG9JU892FgJHkML1dsqUh_U4-g21g_flvBtthA

But i can't send command after connect to ip address because i have to authorize PC through HU connecting it by USB
[Android Head-Units] trueiceman:
I bought Insignia from best buy. It comes with builtin software in the cable, lol. PC now recognizes the stereo but kingaroot still doesn't recognize it. One click root says it can root it but will cost $29. Im looking at older one click root apps. Some of these custom limitations in the stereo suck balls.

Atoto a6 a6y2721pb

When I tried to root, I made a mistake and got a bootlop. Please help me, I need a flashtool firmware for A6Y2721PB. Pour through recovery update.zip does not work because it does not enter into the recovery. The combination of the entrance to the recovery is not known. Mtkdroid does not see the device.

[Android Head-Units] aliak47:
Hi,

How could you make your unit stay connected when flashing using SP flash tool and MTK? I tried Stabbone's method but mine would time out even though i disconnect and connect ACC to keep it from timing out.

Mine is A6YVW721PRB

Update: Mine time out after aprox. 50s. And reboots to android afterwards. If i disconnect ACC, and reconnect right away, it still does the same.

Update: After reading once more the instruction given by Stabone00, i see i had to completely turn off power(yellow cable). After doing that, i can go on without timing out for 10 minutes. But the flash reading is not finished by then. Tried different combinations with acc off and on, but i cant seem to crack it.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/UMuoHPc3yxiyiGoY9

Update: This is what i was able to download in 10 minutes. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Gb4MLHieXT26GJqR7

Maybe thats all there is and it times out when finished?

Update: I made it with these files using mtk! So the timeout seems to be because there was no more to get.

Hello,

Just purchased this head unit, and I'm somewhat familiar with general rooting techniques (other phones, etc although I haven't done it in quite a while). I'm stumped on this one from step one though. Has anyone made any progress in getting the computer (and KingoRoot) to recognize the unit when connected with USB? I saw a couple posts up that ATOTO has locked out this ability, but was hoping someone had made some forward movement in reversing this. I have the 2710SB PB version. Thanks for any information!

I tried this recovery on my model A6YVW721PRB and there is just a black screen when powering up. There is light on buttons. Any idea how i could port the source myself to my model?

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with a device (Atoto A6 Pro) bought from eBay. The device starts with Atoto logo, afterwards dancing dots forever. I was able to connect with SP Flash Tool described in stabone00's article https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/atoto-a6-info-rooting-backup-recovery-t3759835[URL="https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/atoto-a6-info-rooting-backup-recovery-t3759835"]https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/atoto-a6-info-rooting-backup-recovery-t3759835[/URL].

Maybe interrupted firmware update or similar caused this problem.

Can anyone provide files from a working A6 Pro device so that I could try to flash the device with SP Flash tool? Any help is really apprecianted. :good:

Kind regards

I'm sorry for bugging you guys, but I've got an ATOTO A6Y2710SB and I can't seem to get KINGO to see the device. I had to fabricobble a USB A-A cable from some old 1.1 A-B cables, so that may be it.

1) Do I need to install the drivers in order to get KINGO to work?

2) Has anyone tried MemoryInfo & Swapfile Check by ROEHSOFT to see if the RAM file can be changed?

I didn't realize I got the 1GB RAM version and it's too late to return it, and ISYN the RCA backup camera freezes. I'm hoping it's just low on RAM and I can use the app by that publisher to correct the issue.

Any help or pointers you can offer would be appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
I have the same device and the same problem with rooting procedure. I used an homemade cable (that work with other device) and also an usb3.0 cable bought on AMZ. Desktop and laptop, with windows and Linux, doesn't recognize device (on linux also with lsusb command it isn't shown). I searched on web and asked to official support and i have understood that ATOTO blocked the USB connection in device mode but it only work as host. I hope i'm wrong.

[Android Head-Units] WongItal:
I got Magisk installed on my Head Unit

I think my steps were:

- rooted using Hippie459MN's procedure

- updated SuperSU to 2.82 (not sure if this is necessary)

- installed Magisk Manager

- extracted the boot.img from the latest update.zip (AICE OS 9.6), transferred it to the unit

- installed Magisk using the Select and Patch a File method and selected the boot.img previously transferred

- installed EX Kernel Manager and used the flash tool, selected the patched Magisk boot.img (magisk_patched.img)

- flashed successfully, rebooted

- Magisk showed installed after reboot

- tested Magisk and removed SuperSU

So far I've installed Viper4Android 2.7, Audio Compatibility Patch (had to use the no volume buttons method), Ainur, BusyBox. Seems to working well so far. I have the A6 Pro.
[Android Head-Units] Hippie459MN:
Are you using the older model like I am that does not have the physical buttons or the newer one with the physical buttons? Seems people are having a hard time getting their computers to see the head unit when hooking up via USB.

Got a new root method. No china made root apps that dont work anyways. I got the A6 pro version with no buttons. I need update.zip from the other versions, so i can make sure it will work with other versions. So I can make it universal for all.

You must log in to access the web page.

I explored the update.zip file and found a build.prop file (among many other interesting files) which may contain some settings to tinker with in order to unlock the USB connection as a device to connect to a PC, or some other way to root this unit bypassing the need for a PC. Maybe it helps.

I have a cedric device with stock rom, already unlocked bootloader, installed 64 bit TWRP but when I want to enter in it, a decryption password is required, already tried my pin, still not working. So I wanna know if is safe to just wipe system, data, cache and dalvik and then flash the rom, if not, what I should do.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] :
When you start up twrp there should be a cancel button... Click that. Go to the top right where it says wipe. There then should be a button called format data. And then the password should be gone and then you can start installing ROMs. Hope this helps!
