Text in Bold indicates something you need to type
(Instructions taken from various sites - for XP only - Credits to Unlocker & Modaco)
If your current build number is 2.73.405.5 you can skip the Goldcard section
Phone Details:
Model Number
T-Mobile G2 Touch
Firmware Version
1.5
Baseband Version
63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08
Kernel Version
2.6.27-0078c992
Build Number
2.73.110.26 CL#69351 release-keys
Software Version
1.0.0.A6288
In order to root the phone, I had to downgrade the build number from 2.73.110.26 to 2.73.405.66.
Setting UP ADB on XP
First things first, we need to download and setup android SDK,
1) sdk can be downloaded from developer.android.com/sdk/
2) Extract the file to c:\AndroidSDK
3) Plug your phone in to the pc via USB cable. Windows should automatically find the drivers and you should get a message in the bottom right corner saying "device is setup and ready to use" (or something similiar).
Any issues here, google is your friend, find the drivers for your device
4) Now that windows can "see" your hero, click on Start, Run, type cmd and hit enter.
5) on this screen we need to check if adb is working so change the directory to where we extracted the sdk folder:
cd\ press enter
cd\ AndroidSDK\tools press enter
adb devices press enter
You should get something similiar to:
List of devices attached
HT9BTL900210 device
6) If you see this number, all is ok so far.
Now that adb is setup and we can communicate with our phone from the pc we need to create a Goldcard
Create Goldcard
( I tried with a 8GB ScanDisk and it worked)
Take a bakup of your sd card data, copy the files to your pc, before creating
a Goldcard as we need to format the card.
1) Ensure SD card is in your phone, click on Menu | Settings | SD Card & Phone Storage | Unmount SD card, wait a few ticks, then click on Format SD Card
2) Press back a few times and go to Settings | Application | Development and put a tick in USB Debugging
3) Connect the phone to the pc, then click on Start | Run | enter cmd and hit enter, we get the same command window as before
4) Now we need to obtain a code so that we can create the gold card. in the command prompt enter the following:
cd\ press enter
cd\ AndroidSDK\tools press enter
adb devices press enter
you should see a serial number displayed
5) Now type the following
adb shell press enter
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid press enter
You should get something similiar to this:
045354535230384780705c3088008a10
Make a note of this code.
6) Next go to this website >> http://hexrev.soaa.me/ , enter your code and click on Submit and make a note of the new code
7) Now go to http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html, fill in your details and paste the code, click on submit and check your e-mail. The godcard will be e-mailed to you, save this to your desktop.
8) Now we need to download and install a HexEditor so click the following link, download and install
http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Ed...068.html?part=dl-HxDHexEdi&subj=uo&tag=button
9) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount
10) Open the HexEditor and click on Extras | Open Disk | Under Physical Disk select Removable disk, uncheck "Open as Read Only" and click OK
11) Click on Extras | Open disk image | select the goldcard.img file (sent to you via email) Click ok when prompted for the disk size (512 Hard Disk/Floppy Disk)
12) You should have 2 tabs, one is your sd card and the other the goldcard. click on the goldcard, click on Edit | Select All, then Edit | Copy.
13) Click on the sdcard (removable disk) tab, highlight from offset 00000000 to 00000170, click on Edit | Paste Write. The highlighted cells should go red.
14) Click on File | Save and close the HexEditor
15) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage. Pull down the notification bar again and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount. If XP opens the SD card all has worked ok.
16) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage. Reboot your phone with the goldcard (sdcard) still inside.
Downgrade to an older ROM
1)You should already have HTC Sync installed on your computer, if not head over to http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=3&dl_id=852 | download and install HTC Sync
2) Next we need to down load the ROM, RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_..exe which can be downloaded from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RCQ6V92U
3) Connect your phone to the pc and ensure HTC Sync picks up your phone, any issues here, either reboot your pc or phone until the phone\pc can see each other.
4) Double click the file you downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_..exe and follow the instructions. they are very straight forward. It can take up 10 mins to complete.
Hopefully you should now have a phone with the Build Number as 2.73.405.5
If this is the case, continue reading.
Download Custom ROM
Now would be a good time to download the ROM you want to use, I am currently using Cronos which is based on 2.1 and is super quick
http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=16&sid=332f8bccd0147f4ee8eb093920eb428d
1) Once downloaded, rename the file to Update.zip
2) Connect your phone to your pc and pull down the notification bar again and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount.
3) Copy the file, Update.zip to the root of your SD card.
4) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage
Gain ROOT access
1) On your phone, click on Menu | Settings | Applications | put a tick in "Unknown Sources"
2) Connect the phone to your pc and on your phone, pull down the notification bar and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount
3) Download the following 2 files and save them to your desktop
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec Version 1.1.3
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WP29CWHK recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
You can also use recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.img but I found version 1.5.2 worked for me.
4) Copy both of these 2 files to the root of your SDcard, should show as Removable disk\media within "My Computer"
5) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage. Disconnect your phone from the pc
6) Go to the market place and download a file manager, I used ASTRO
7) Open ASTRO and select flashrec-1.1.3.apk (the file you copied over), if prompted select package installer. click in Install if it doesnt automatically install the app
8) Open FlashRec (click on open after install) and click on Backup Recovery Image. Should take a few seconds to backup
9) Now click on the empty text box and type the following
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img then click on Flash Custom Recovery Image . It should take to long doing this, 10 seconds maybe
10) Power of your phone, once shutdown, hold down the Home and Power button together until the phone boots in to recovery mode
11) On the Recovery Screen, select Backup/Restore (using the trackball) and then Nand backup, this should take a minute or so
12) Next click on Wipe and select Wipe data/factory reset
13) Now select Flash zip from sdcard, this can take up to 5-15 mins. Once this is done, it should prompt you to reboot your phone, if not select "Reboot system Now"
14) Done, hopefully if everything when according to plan your phone should boot with Cronos (whichever rom you chose), the first time it boots it can take ages.
Update Radio
Check to ensure the radio version is 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26, If yes skip this section, if not you can download it from the Modaco site
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
1) Connect the phone to your pc and on your phone, pull down the notification bar and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount
2) Remove the update.zip file from the SD card
3) Rename the radio from 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 to Update.zip
4) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage. Disconnect your phone from the pc
5) Power down your phone, select HOME and POWER to boot in to Recovery mode
6) Select Flash zip from sdcard, this should take roughly 5 mins, reboot the phone.
Thats it your done, If you click on Menu | Settings and nothing shows, reboot the phone again ( I had this rather strange issue)
Setting up SD CARD to work with A2SD
Follow this guide, its very good
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
Hopefully you now have a rooted phone all setup and working. As someone on here said, Road to Freedom
Thanks for this.
I'm still stuck. The goldcard seemed to work twice but when I tried the RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_..exe it said "waiting for bootloader" and the screen on the Hero had changed to the white screen with 3 skateboarding androids and what looked like a selectable option "?RUU USB", can't quite remember but there was no way of selecting it and no buttons advanced the process.
Don't know if anyone else got this? Any tips on what I'm doing wrong?
did you receive any erros on your pc, i,e the RUU setup should be running andupdating you with whats happening, did that throw an error?
I will do it again tonight but got something along the lines of "waiting for bootloader.....timed out" Will confirm in the next hour, but some other threads said they needed to create a gold card a few times before one worked.
Any advice welcome
On the windows RUU update utility I get
ERROR [171]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
This is despite the device syncing well and being fully recognised by RUU until failing waiting for bootloader....
On the HTC Hero I get a white screen with 3 skateboarding androids on it.
On the white screen at the top I get
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010f
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104
RADIO-6.35.07.08
Aug 4 2009, 19:43:30 (not the current time)
RUU USB <---- Highlighted in orange. making me think you could select it, however, no buttons on the device do anything. The Hero stays like this until I pull the battery out but then it boots normally (even after the RUU.exe exits). If I pull the USB cord out, the USB text dissapears and only RUU remains highlighted.
Any ideas? The SD card used is the stock one shipped with the device which others have said works fine. If no one has a better idea, I will try later using my other 8gb card, but this is a pain as I have to back it all up.
I formatted the SD card ie non-gold card version and repeated the RUU and got the same message so I'm assuming the goldcard didn't work. Sigh... not to back up my 16Gb card...
So i got a SD card another member recommended as working as a gold card = no go.
This is getting beyond a joke now. Nobody has information on what the actual
credentials are for a card to be use able? I've spent too much money on this crap
I think I'll just sell this ****.
So I tried my 16Gb card but that didn't work either.
I don't think I'm that unlucky to get two cards which won't work as Goldcards and am very confident I have followed the instructions correctly.
The only thing I can think of is that as my phone was returned from being fixed only two weeks ago, they may have patched the kernal so even Goldcard will not work. Sigh, I might just have to wait for T-mo to pull their finger out with the 2.1 upgrade.
For what it's worth, Kernel version:
2.6.27-0078c992

Anyone with the same build etc that was able to gold card?
Thanks for this info.
Looks like it's the same. No-one with a goldcard in south london wants a little visit from me and my Hero ?!?
Chaps, I tried 3 times and on my fourth attempt I was successful, I used a 8GB Scandisk Card which worked. I gave up twice but eventually got lucky and it worked so I understand your frustration
It maybe worth uninstalling and re-installing your drivers, or you can try this:
USBDeview >> http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html, download and install
Whilst the phone is plugged in, open USB Deview, find all the htc drivers and delete them, after deleting them, disconnect your phone and plug it back in, drivers should re-install,
Try again with a different USB port on your machine, let me know how you get on
For the guys having problems with goldcards,....
Once you have made the changes to the SD, saved and closed the HEX editor,... re-open it again to make sure the changes have actually saved.
...... Alternatively,... Check to see if there are any differences in the tutorial from this thread, compared to the one here ---> [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 14/04]
Hope something there helps.
Maybe OS may be an issue,... Mine failed on Win7 64bit but worked 1st time with an XP machine.
Complete success!
Seems it was a problem with Win 7 (32-bit).
Worked first time in Vista with the stock 2gb card already created using Win 7 earlier.
Happily now enjoying a custom 2.1 Rom!
Angry yet again with M$.
So pleased I've moved to Ubuntu as my main OS.
I managed to get my goldcard work first time round, fortunately. I used a SanDisk 2Gb card, but curiously, I realised afterwards I forgot to format it, I still had all the hidden linux files (starting with a .) on it
I think all T-mobile branded hero's use the same firmware initially.
Also, I couldn't get the USB to work on Win7, had to go onto XP.
Finally, a guy at my work had the same problem, not being able to goldcard his Hero, I suggested to him, when he goes into the hex editor, include all off the offsets, like when you get down to 170, highlight all the way down to the right of that line.

I highly recomend MCR3.2 (MoDaCo Custom ROM for GSM Hero) ,... Fast, stable,.... No complaints at all. I flashed this on the 1st day i got my HERO,... Now waiting for a stable Android 2.1 release,... Probably MCR4.0.

I have to agree, modaco 3.2 is fantastic, even when memory is running low its still quick, Paul has done an excellent job, flashed the hero with modaco 3.2 as soon as it was rooted, havent tried anything else yet

Hi all, I'm a new user. I've recently installed Kies on my PC but to my dismay, it could not detect the the phone no matter what I did(reinstalled Kies, restarted the phone, PC..etc..)
I've read that it is a crappy program, but without it, how can I update my phone firmware and sync my photos and files? Do I have to manually remove the SD card to transfer the file?
Appreciate some advice...
My phone won't sync with Kies but thats because I am on the JM2 firmware downloaded from the web and I've read it won't sync.
On your phone, have you plugged it in and then selected "Samsung Kies" from the popup or swipedown menu?
Let me just say don't hold your breath. I've been able to connect to my PC through Kies on and off. I've tried all the suggestions and none of them worked for me. As I said, it's completely hit and miss for me as soon as I connect the USB cable to my PC. I don't try anything different each time, it will just for what ever reason decide to connect once in a while. The problem is Samsung needs to develop a better driver. You shouldn't have to use Kies to drag stuff onto your phone. The phone should have no problem being recognized as a mass storage device. But if you don't have a driver that works all the time, then your phone doesn't even get recognized by your PC. Just one quick google on this issue will give you an idea how many people are having problems connecting to Kies/PC. This issue is too big for Samsung to ignore. I'm sure there will be an updated driver soon.
Solution to Kies problem
Hello, gizmondo.fr reported some time ago that the problem is long file extensions (over 16 characters).
You can solve it by finding and deleting all files with very long extensions from your phone. In my case, I deleted a cache of Soundhound.
I think the problem is intermittent due to the fact that the programs sometimes delete their own cache.

I had problem with usb. phone lagged and i havent notticed msg to turn of bluetooth. Try to turn off bluetooth and maybe wifi and then connect to usb.
Guys 2 things here
if you want KiES to sync you need to run the default TwLauncher that came with the phone
if you installed another launcher you can use "Home Switcher" to change back when you want to use KiES
link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
now if you are still having trouble with KiES a great alternative is to use Android Manager via WiFi it's easy and totally painless

I'm also having the same issues and I've tried countless tricks over the past 3 evenings by reading solloutions here and several other forums but without luck, I spoke to a Samsung employee and was told to try to return my unit, but I'm reluctant incase I can make it work cause otherwise I'll have to re-order screen protectors etc (I suck at putting them on and I managed to make it perfect for a change!). So hehe long story short! A list of possible remedies would be nice, another thing also, is that Android Wifi Manager a good replacement for Kies? as in being able to put on official samsung updates etc. (Even though I read countless posts about Odin I still have not the guts to try out anything outside of direct updates through the samsung apps).
The stuff I tried is as follows
1. Change USB settings so that it is not default to kies but ask on connect.
2. Mount/Unmount Internal SD card prior to connecting the device. (No external SD card installed)
3. Format internal SD Card.
4. Reset to default factory settings.
5. Reinstall Kies from a different source file (running latest version if someone can post a link of the supposedly working older version would be great!)
6. Run all the USB modes as I noticed it installs some drivers on the various options.
7. Remove the modem through device manager and reinstall it.
8. Remove Samsung Drivers and reinstall them.
9. Install the microsoft mobile center (mobile drivers)
10. Remove the drivers and re-apply the Samsung ones from a samsung.sg site posted here on site.
11. Tried various USB slots on the computer.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Edited: Also tried the regedit trick not sure I did it right but Regedit --> DeviceDB --> the one where there is a value of 1 I deleted.
Edited 2: I downloaded an older version (1.5.0.10024_74) and installed it after uninstalling the most recent version, and now I get bsod everytime I try to launch Kies. Agitation levels rising hehe...
I've got Kies to recognize my phone exists but now it is stuck on the "Connecting the device, please wait" popup, has been like that for the last thirty minutes, any advice?
I'm now having this problem that this fella video'd.

It is pointless waiting for it if it does not connect within a minute, just unplug it and try again, like people said, Kies is very 'hit and miss'

The one time i have had a major problem with Kies, it was doing the exact same thing, the problem is some cache, or other file on your internal sd card that Kies does not like. I just went through the files and deleted the cache files and a couple of others and eventually i deleted the correct one and Kies started to work again.
Hey guys, I just registered to suggest you try the only fix that solved my connection problems.
I tried reinstalling drivers and formatting the internal SD multiple times with no success until i inserted my gf's micro sd card from her phone. Windows 7 automatically installed new drivers from the Galaxy and connected back up as normal. I disconnected the usb then removed the external SD after unmounting and has worked fine ever since.
Before you go returning your phones i suggest you uninstall all associated drivers and borrow a microSD.
I have run into another issue. I can not mount my phone to computer. I think this is happening because of me rooting my phone. I was able to root the phone successfully. But somewhere along the way something happened and I can't mount my phone to my pc. This is as if my pc is not reading/recognizing the phone when plugged in. However, my phone is reading its memory and sd card perfectly.
When I plug the phone to my pc:
With USB Debugging off... I dont even get a notification in the slide down menu asking me to either mount/unmount.
With USB Debugging on... I do get the option in slidedown menu to mount my phone. At the same time the computer shows a pop up message asking me to install driver software for Samsung_Android. In the meantime , I press mount sd card which by the way is still not recognized by the computer.
I dont have the driver for samsung_android to install on the computer.
This thread here describes how I rooted my phone. I thought this background info might be helpful in solving the problem.
Does anyone know a potential fix for this situation.
Thanks.
When this happened to me having it" ask what to do" when connected may have solved the issue. I went through this just yesterday. You also might re-boot your phone and computer a few times...nothing like that can hurt. Until someone who actually knows something finds this thread : P
67 views and just one reply.
**bump... someone gotta know the solution
Reading your post is a little confusing. If you are saying you cannot "mount" the phone the term Mount is replaced with "connect usb storage" in the pull down. If yours is saying mount, then your rooting process may have not worked. It is hard to tell based on how you wrote this up. Use the one-click rooting you can find all you need INCLUDING the Samsung computer drivers (32 or 64bit) @ unlockr.com along with a nice youtube video showing the whole process beginning to end.
Additional thoughts:
If you are really jacked you can always go to the bible (in the top of this general forum) and search for the "ALL in One" zip to flash back to stock...etc. The All in One has the stock kernel, the .pit (used for mapping) the 32 bit driver/64 bit driver for the computer and Odin all in one Zip. You should have this in your computer folder named (unbrick tools) either way you should get all this if you are going to be customizing the phone, along with the Eugene's froyo that does not brick rom. This rom is a lifesaver should you flash in a way where the format will not recognize the stock format. You can flash this 1st then stock right after and that ALWAYS gets you back to stock.
In the future, when you are trying to describe what is going on try to be careful with terminology it is important not to use terms loosely otherwise we are just guessing on how to help......... hope this helps
Thanks for your thoughts. It seemed as if my computer was lacking the drivers for samsung vibrant so I installed them from here
and now I can connect my phone to the pc and its working fine. I thought I had downloaded and installed the drivers before when I downloaded on the big download button on the top and installed some fake software from advertisement.
If you ever flash a 2.2 rom and experience the problem again with the drivers already installed, this might fix it...

I bougt Nook Color this week and messed it up very first day.I rooted it and installe CM7.1.WhenI try to connect to Windows7 pc ,the computer immediately crashes.
2.When I try to use nook it boots in CM7 ok but I keep gettig message "android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly try again_ Force close"every 2-3 seconds and can not get rid of it.I reinstalled CM 7 several times with no effect.I accidently deleted fctory recovery partition and can not go back to original state.I am left with display of bothersome message showing again and again.
Please suggest any answers .
If you are having that many problems already I would start from scratch. If you are able to flash the stock image in CWM but if you cant use this thread. You nook does boot but the thread shows you how to restore it to stock without CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
once you can boot into your nook successfully I would check if your nook has the new partitions vs the old ones. Did the box it came in have a blue dot sticker on it?
This post has the steps for the newer and older partitions. Make sure you have the latest versions of everything, would be my advice.
Some people get that error when Gmail is syncing. You might try to turn off Gmail autosyncing to see if the error persists.
Nook Color does boot alright in CM7 but the annoying message I mentioned keeps coming on every 2-3 seconds.
Try flashing the current nightly. Its pretty stable for me
some problems resolved
Thanks everybody,I tried everyting you people suggested and did not resolve anything and I was almost ready to throw it in trash since I had wiped B&N factoryrecovery partition by mistake and could not go back.Then I wiped out CM7 and installed Honeycomb V2 version Now everything is working .That disgusting message is gone.My pc was crashing because I was connecting Nook to USB3 port.I connected to USB2 port and it does not crash but Nook is not recognised by pc.Windows 7 tries to install drivers for Nook but fails as it can not find drivers.Any suggestions please.

I had similar experience - last week - and learned I just wasn't familiar with the device..
On bottom of Nook Screen - there is a task bar of sorts with a little USB icon that pops up on the NC when plugged into PC (WIN 7 here). Drag the window open from bottom - select option to copy / transfer files to your computer - and then turn on USB storage and your device should show up on pC as MyNOOKcolor - and SD card.
After you're done transferring files, eject both drives individually from your PC ( I do SD card eject 1st - and MyNOOKcolor 2nd ) - and it should close your USB storage on your device and you should be good to go..
Hello, please help with updating and where to download new software for the above-mentioned radio. Chipset AC8227L, 1/16 GB. I downloaded programming from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-with-this-chinese-hu-alps-8227l_demo.3930394/ ; every time ith throws an error to let me check the usb and files. I changed 3x USB stick and memory cards, each time the same, FAT32 format.
Hi, format SD card possibly greater than 4GB with standard settings - FAT32 or ExFAT file system and deafult allocation rate.
Next, download one of firmwares that suits your device (for 8227L it has a lot of them on this forum but your device maybe have different UI than XPH.8227_8_xxxxxx mentioned in this above link).
In my oppinion the ones that will work for your model begins with XRC,CHS, JC.
Firmware for download are like this example : CHS.8227L-8.UI4.Android_10_ver.6_xxxx(date of update)
After download and unzipping two files, .bin and .upd transfer those two files on freshly formated disk, nothing else just these two files. If transfering from PC or laptop make sure that you eject the drive before pulling out from PC.
Next step is to make the unit recognize system on SD card. Put the ignition key in contact mode or better turn engine on (before that insert SD card in memory card slot, not MAP slot !) and start tapping with one finger on center on screen untill message DETECTED is seen on upper screen area. If successful it will recognize files and start automatically updating (wait till finishes and enters system / UI), if not or fails to recognize files for update repeat process two or three times untill successful.
If still nothing, enter erase mode / recovery mode (purge of internal memory and files) by tapping with all five fingers on screen. When recovery is completed (it will turn to factory settings) device will be empty of all memory tasks, prevoius configurations etc. , just clean install of Android system, running and with no apps and settings configured. Then insert SD card and try update again.
If device even won't go in recovery mode then you have some factory settings like "protection" or "install" enabled. Turn this off both in factory settings / menu OTHER.
Good luck !

It's on forum here just type in search bar 8227L firmware and find best choice for you. If not found wil send you a link.
Sorry but I am not able to find the latest software compatible with my radio, there is too much of it, please help.
I will add that my radio does not have slots for SD cards and Maps, there is only a female USB input to which I can connect a USB flash drive, the device is fully touchable without buttons.
it is probably a Chinese counterfeit I bought on aliexpress, there will be a problem with the selection of the update
Similar firmware to yours is here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a9yoWoiuMZRoQVL5O677Y9tmQHHAtmbo
Try to install this one it is TSKJ/CHS UI firmware for devices with 8227L chipset.
Extzract and put downloaded files onto USB drive formated for FAT 32 and try updateing.
memory formatted in FAT32, tried for two different, only two files extracted, each time in green DETECTED and after a while in red "Fail, please check USB and files", I tried several times
restoring the settings with a five-finger touch also did not work
I deleted the data to the initial state, but the update still does not start
I noticed that if I detach the USB and I make a finger movement during startup, the symptom is the same, as if I would not see the usb
Do you have install option in factory settings disabled ? Or protection option ? If do deactivate PROTECTION and enable INSTALL in factory settings (pin code) / OTHER submenu. Then try updating again.
yes, I have it done, I also entered the pin, unfortunately unchanged
Use another USB drive with 2.0 speed not 3.0 if this is the case.
Maybe it's just some stupid thing like this that is keeping you from updating.
If this not succesfull either check your device usb ports if they are working thru USB debug command in factory settings, also turn on all USB to be 2.0 and not 1.1 maybe will help somehow. I think that USB port is missconfigured and are causing not to update.
Another thing , if you have by hand any SD card and USB card reader try with that.
I have debugging turned on in the settings after entering the code 8888, and the USB is switched to 2.0, I tried with a new pendrive and with an SD card reader that I put into the USB, unfortunately still unchanged, I also changed the USB input on the back of the radio by switching the cable

Hm, this is a hard one, has this unit of yours been rooted ?
Honestly, I don't know how can I check it? how to root?
If it turns out I have root, does that change anything?
Install from Google play any app that contains root tester and see. Yes if it is rooted device is modified and altered and do not have stock firmwares, which leads to undesired complications and problems.
If the device turns out to be root, it is possible to work around it in some way to install other software?
I checked, the app showed that my device does not have root
today I bought memory 2.0, but still unchanged, these are my settings, is everything ok?
