HELP!!!! Tried to update and Bricked my head unit...

It’s been about a week and half and I haven’t been able to get my radio back up and working, I have an Android Unbranded head unit running 4.2.2. I tried to post a picture of my info from my settings screen but couldn’t get the url link to go thru. But it pretty much looks like this: CPU INFORMATION
CORTEX-A9 DUAL CORE
RAM INFORMATION
DDR3 1 GB
ANDROID VERISON
4.2.2
MCU VERISON:
4.3.16-7-01-650201-151022
SYSTEM VERSION:
2.9.4_20150316
I installed what I thought was the right update but I may have gotten the files mixed up and updated the wrong file via my mini SD card and now it’s stuck on the opening screen which is the Chevy logo and won’t go any further, PLEASE help me unbrick my radio so I can get my tunes back, haven’t had any music in my truck for over a week now and I’m going crazy!

Find the correct factory firmware and flash it through the factory recovery.. or try flashing one of the custom rom. 4.2.2 version.
Mtcb firmware is what you need.

from what I understand, you can use Phoenixcard, and flash an image to a USB or SD card. Then insert into the GPS or USB cable, power on the unit, and allow it to boot from that to correct a incorrect flash....just what I have been reading. I would start along those lines....I am in the same boat, but I don't have my original firmware to test

Att: Still nothing....someone w/ experience
My head unit is still stuck on the opening screen, I’ve downloaded so many different file and tried soooo many techniques that I’m seriously beat, I’ve never had a device that I couldn’t figure out, especially after almost a month of reading and tried different approaches. So if someone could take a look at my Info in the opening forum and give me some tips or advice I’d REALLY APPRECIATE!!!!

Still bricked and haven’t had music in car in over a month...
Ive tried everything and havent gotten anywhere so
im about to throw this radio into the trash if no one
else has any othetr suggestions ....

Need help with fixing a bricked TSBEC unit

Hi
I have an android head unit for Mercedes Benz, MCU is TSBEC.180919, I got firmware flash files from them and did a software update via SD card as they instructed, but after it was loaded successfully, unit rebooted automatically and never wake up again, only black screen with lights on and flickering each 10 minutes
how can I fix it again, I have a copy of the original firmware in .BIN format
appreciate your support
device details attached

Hello,
It seems that we have the same issue here, i also have the same H/U and i`m experiencing the same issue after the software update.
The problem from my side is that the chinese that sold me this H/U they are not answering me at all.
If you would be so kind to share the files that the guys gave you i would be forever in your debt.
Maybe afterwards i can help you further with an tutorial
Thank you,
Evi

Hi I have the same unit. Not sure about updates, but wondering if you might be able to help. When I wake the unit from hibernation (i.e. a warm boot rather than a full boot), Zlink looks like it's playing music but there's no sound. I have to reboot the system to get the sound working again. Does/did yours do this?
Cheers!

Same issue here Daniel. Used to work fine out of the box for a few months, but now I have exactly the same issue with warm boot and need to reboo to get the sound back. Really annoying. Tried disabling zLink, factory data reset, etc. Maybe a fresh installation could work, but don't know where to get the firmware.

Any idea how to root this unit? All i want to do is update the boot up logo. It requires root access.

This worked for me as an update, but I have a BMW. Hope this helps!
Just unzip the HUTUpdate to a blank USB

Use 3368 as a password in the factory settings should give you access to the Boot Image selection. That being said, the last unit I bought last December didn't have the option available

I see that is for a BMW. Would this still work on another type of vehicle with the same head unit?

SPRD Uis8581a 2h10 Automotive
My device in the car shows android 12 but it is 10 ( app: fake device test)
I have an app for my house alarm and it sends me push notifications on my smartphone(s)
But it seems like the head unit does not get the push notifications.
” Also not from any other app. "
Is this blocked ?
How do I unlock this ?
( Sorry if I've post this in the wrong place. I'm not used to this)

I have this unit also from Dec 22 with about 50% of the time of no sound out of sleep. Even tried cold boot but it did mess up 1 time out of around 20 so not totally connected to sleep mode. I have made numerous tests with settings to try and get this resolved to no avail. Some of the times I can go into original car app and click and audio will come back on everything and perfect till cut off again. What I have done is put a switch in the ACC line to turn off and on but is a pain. The unit boots out of sleep in a different sequence every time. Even restarting the unit with power on which cold boots does not work and only disconnecting the ACC restores audio. Something locks up here and can't figure out what it is. Sounds more like a hardware issue than software as it resets when power off. Any ideas or fixes?

I think I have to flash my K2001n head unit - Wi-Fi problems

Hello, I hope you can help me,
My unit has always had auto touches, it clicks, mutes, exits apps and enters others by itself, it's very annoying.
I did a hard reset, but although it became more fluid, the wifi was damaged and does not turn on.
It is a K2001n, with android 10.1 fake, I would like to change the firmware and have a stable and more efficient one than this.
Can someone give me some recommendation?
