This thread I started to get some help for custom roms for witson head units. This HU similar to MTCB with Configuration OS Android 4.4.4 system CPU Rockchip 3188(PX3) Cortex A9 Quad*coreRAM DDR3 1GBFlash Built in 16GB , But cannot be installe custom roms of malaysk .
I tried various ways to flash but has not worked yet. I am not a developer so would not able do much.
There is no way to enter recovery by buttons , I tried everything I could as per instruction from [ROM][RK3066/RK3188][SD/HD] Malaysk ROMs thread.
I tried these after getting latest factory firmware for back up.
1] extracted custom romes and replaced boot, system, oem and misc img files in stock firmware folder and flashed,
everything works but stuck at recovery. did clean wipe and install from storage but sd card does not show or failed to mount. please check pics.
2] when reboot at that stage , it starts without problem but no sound , what might be the problem? it reboots itself every 2 minutes!!
3] thought reinstall MCU but factory setting password does not work tried 126/ 3368 (stock rom code), is there any workaround.
I feel some problem may be due to mixing up stock firmware and custom firmware file( I don't understand as i am not a developer) . Attached stock firmware folder sceenshot, can anyone suggest how to manage these files.
Russian forum has a thread on these units but no much progress.
can anyone help me out to flash custom roms.
I attached couple of pics and firmware details with factory firmware link thanks to 4pda.

Yes, I do use the sdcard slot to update. for stock rom update, we need insert into sdcard slot( GPS Slot) then restart the unit. then it updates automatically till the end before reboots, it says to remove sdcard. once sdcard removed it reboots thats it. it never stops at recovery mode while factory firmware update.
I cannot use update.img file to update firmware.
I cannot enter recovery mode by pressing any buttons even I tried on pcb board, do you have any idea to overcome it?
yes i could root it with kingsroot.
I am looking for a custom rom like malaysk kind of to flash. I am waiting for someone who could help.
Try another rom friend maybe something wrong on that rom did you try malaysk rom for ur device ?

Get into recovery
Try this

3 When booting screen appears release power button.
4 It boots into recovery.
--Update 1-- some units without front USB have a different procedure
Firstly power on the unit and then long press the power button and then reset. Then the unit will get three rings and you loose your hand on the power button and short press the power button again. (thanx @netay)

Hello, I have the same problem I cannot enter in recovery mode and install custom roms of malaysk .
I have a Witson W2-F9111T.
who could help me
there is no recovery implemented, no fastboot.. so I have no idea how to flash those
aren't the Witson head units the same as the RoadNavi S160? if so, then Kotix makes a ROM for them, check the S160 thread
Could you share the instructions you got from the seller?.
I'm also in the same lane, I cant seem to find any custom rom for my device, the good part though is that our hardware is way better
Now i have plenty of small issues, so I want to flash the original rom back.
Thanks !

Found this already on the russian website.
I think we CAN use malaysk rom if we use just the system image, and keep our uboot and MCU.
Will try this out and feedback here.

there "seems" to be a 5.1 release, however the build.prop shows 4.4.4 ?
Do you have firmware 5.1.1 from Witson?
I've updated my radio to 5.1.1. In my opinion nothing has changed, besides the information in the settings version of android 5.1.1
I think this is an old android only has written 5.1.1. The system looks the same as when you press the Application Manager can see the logo android 4.4 kitkat on the notification bar.

I think it's a hacked 4.4 to show 5.1
If you look in the build.prop of the download then it clearly shows a 4.4///
aaah... typical chinese cheating here, even on a firmware
Yes, i see build.prop earlier
As such a large company can just cheat customers.

the chinese rom and checksum error are supposed to happen.
the chines rom is an old unstable version but is provided so we can root it to install cwm and flash a working rom.
after the checksum error you needed to power off and then using the buttons enter recovery mode and go to 'Fix checksum error' in advanced menu - after that reboot.
you should do the following:
a)go back and read the entire post on what to do because you missed the last part
or
b)try the backdoor method
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
just read your entire post again...there's alot going on there isnt there?
have you tried flashing the update.zip again with 3.0.1 on it...get back to the chinese rom, from there install iconia root and root it. Then install cwm and you should be all good - if that doesnt work then use timmyDeans backdoor method it does it for you, all you need to do is install acer recovery installer to install cwm, backup the original stock recovery when the app asks you, you will need it to OTA Update successfully...
Doesn't flashing stock rom remove cwm?

V3 which I pointed you to is STOCK 3.2.1 with root. Once you get there you will be stable. If you want CWM then you will have to install it. It is NOT in the flash because the flash is stock ONLY with root. But since you have root, you can install CWM.
The serial number does NOT need to be saved in any file. Just follow the instructions.

Ok, now just download the stock image for your country and put it on your external sdcard. Use the power and volume + key which will launch stock recovery (which you now have flashed) and it will flash your tablet with the one located on your sdcard. This will have you back stock.

You have a "volume" switch on top of your tab (long silver switch on left side)
You control volume from this. Vol+ make sound go up (the right side of it)
Press it on the left side, and volume goes quiet (vol-)
So, as he said, with the tablet OFF, hold the VOL+ side of the button, then select PWR (power)
You have 2 recovery modes.
1. CWM Recovery (vol- & Pwr) (after you have root and cwm installed)
2. Stock Acer recovery (vol+ & Pwr)
Step number 2 with the stock acer recovery, should install the stock rom you copied to your sd like TimmyDean said earlier.

Please rewrite what you are trying to do. I have no idea what you are talking about?
Are you asking about stock recovery and flashing form a SD Card? If so, copy update.zip to your SD card and then run recovery. If you have CWM, then use it to select the update from the SD Card.
It's not clearly as to exactly what you have loaded and what you are trying to do?
LASTLY: You cannot take a backup from CWM and have the stock recovery install it. Stock recovery will only install update.zip which must be signed by ACER.

You can probably recover.
To reflash a full firmware image you could try the relatively user-friendly yotaflasher application and ROM images from here. I haven't used this myself, but it's software by Yota, so should be safe. You can ask it not to touch /data, to preserve apps, settings etc.
A less user friendly way to reflash a full firmware image:
- Download a full firmware image (EU 1.60 flashable version here, let me know if you require a different one)
- With the phone off, press vol down + power until you see "Downloading ...."
- If you can't turn the phone off normally, keep vol down + power for at least 15 seconds till phone reboots, keep holding till you end up with "Downloading ...."
- connect to a PC with adb+fastboot with a USB cable
- You can now boot TWRP image (fastboot boot recovery_twrp_yd201_alpha2.img , see here.
- if you have important files on your phone, you can back them up now by using adb shell/adb pull (e.g. adb pull /sdcard/Pictures/yeti_sighting.jpg)
- In TWRP go to advanced -> sideload and confirm
- now you can sideload a ROM image from the PC with adb sideload <image>.zip, it should show progress while it's uploading the firmware. If it errors, you probably haven't confirmed initiating sideload in previous step.
- wipe cache&dalvik and reboot
thank you, the first way worked and my phone runs normally now.
thank you
Help please

Root the phone using methods written on this forum > download build 1.60 flammable zip > flash that.
If all you want is Google apps then root the phone then download and flash a gapps package. The full Yota build zip is recommended though.
Can't download yotaflasher application from the link... does anybody have the exe file?

You can probably recover.
To reflash a full firmware image you could try the relatively user-friendly yotaflasher application and ROM images from here. I haven't used this myself, but it's software by Yota, so should be safe. You can ask it not to touch /data, to preserve apps, settings etc.
A less user friendly way to reflash a full firmware image:
- Download a full firmware image (EU 1.60 flashable version here, let me know if you require a different one)
- With the phone off, press vol down + power until you see "Downloading ...."
- If you can't turn the phone off normally, keep vol down + power for at least 15 seconds till phone reboots, keep holding till you end up with "Downloading ...."
- connect to a PC with adb+fastboot with a USB cable
- You can now boot TWRP image (fastboot boot recovery_twrp_yd201_alpha2.img , see here.
- if you have important files on your phone, you can back them up now by using adb shell/adb pull (e.g. adb pull /sdcard/Pictures/yeti_sighting.jpg)
- In TWRP go to advanced -> sideload and confirm
- now you can sideload a ROM image from the PC with adb sideload <image>.zip, it should show progress while it's uploading the firmware. If it errors, you probably haven't confirmed initiating sideload in previous step.
- wipe cache&dalvik and reboot

Just click on the YotaPhoneFlasher folder then click the file (yotaphone2_flasher.exe), and save to your harddisk.
Or you can try this link straight to the yotaphone2_flasher.exe file.

Dude I've just bought my phone, and it has the same problem. But I'm a complete noob, how did you fix it? Please, i've just bought it.
On RU build 134 when I tried to swap users my user with Defaut user, the phone blocked, the display is on (time is the same when first happend - just a freeze image) but I can't do nothing on phone. Is a way to reset? because on a normal way I would remove battery but yota dont have this option.

The analogue method of pulling out the battery is pressing the POWER button for at least 10 seconds. The phone will reboot.
Thanks, I pushed vol down + Power and the phone restarted normaly.
PS: If you know where to get a book from Алекса́ндр Солжени́цын - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to read on yota display, send me.

Sir, i can't even get into recovery mode, i get this problem like it suddenly happen and my battery was 38%.. i was on facebook and it hang and then reboot and then stuck at "POWERED BY ANDROID".
I try to get into recovery mode by pressing volume up + power button, it restart again to "POWERED BY ANDROID"
When i pressing volume down + power button, it show downloding... , and i try to flash it using yotaflasher with HK Firmware 5.0.
When it is done, the phone reboot.
And it still stuck at "POWERED BY ANDROID"
What is the real problem ?
Please help!!!
While trying to solve the network issue on my Yotaphone 2 I managed to brick my phone. He is dead! But since it is a Snapdragon inside it can be fixed.
I need a help from someone who has rooted his Yotaphone2!
I need files from Yotaphone2 software: rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml
Please!!!

You need to keep pressing the power up button after the showing of "POWERED BY ANDROID", the power does not need to be pressed after then.
If you can still not reach recovery, you probably have a broken recovery (maybe wrong version) and something else is messed up.
When you flash recovery, you need to instantly go into recovery mode by pressing +/up on calling the according command
(fastboot reboot).
It does not look like you changed file system related things, did you change anything on your system/with root permissions?
Are you sure the installation process went without failure etc?
Getting out the cause (kernel logs etc) would be a bit hard without getting into recovery mode[and maybe also nonworking kernel], like stated out here

hy. i have a big problem. i just bought a p9 lite and i couldn.t sing in with google account. On browser it works but when i press add new account(settings) at google nothing happends. at e-mail, exchange it works but not at google option. it doesn.t work at youtube, magazin play, google + etc also. after 3 hours of google.ing the problem is still there. anything else works fine. if you have any ideea i will try it. thanks.
You just bought the phone and did not root/modded right? You should try to do a factory reset, and if it does not work the Google Apps must be damaged. To fix it you have to download the original firmware and update with the dload mode:
-Extract the firmware from the zip (you can find download in the forum)
-Put the file UPADATE.APP in a folder named dload
-Copy the dload folder that contains the firmware to a micro SD and put it in your phone
-Make sure to have enough battery
-Open the dialer and type *#*#2846579#*#*
-Click on ProjectMenu -> Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade
This should install the firmware to your phone.
If it does not work do in this way:
-With the dload folder in the SD card as before, shut down the phone
-While powered off, press Volume -, Volume + and power button all together and it will start the installation

Select system update in settings or try Malaysk MOD App which forces the device to boot into the recovery, but actually the update should be detected from the android system itself

hi Guys,
he has an STM32 MCU and there is no mod / boot installer!
they are only for MTCD / E devices.
Kind regards. guenni0501
just connect a keyboard on BACK SIDE USB it is important front side doesnt work connect via backside usb press ctrl+alt+del device will restart than rapidly pres i key while holding alt + printscreen pray god for me
OK so hi guys,
after I tried, search, read tons of stuff, I finally decided to post a thread because I have no clue what else I could do.
I have have a lenovo tab4 8 plus / tb-8704x tablet by my hand and it only boots into the recovery menu like u hold volume down and power.
1. I don't know what happened to it before, I got it like it is.
2. If u plug in powe supply the red led blinks and u can only power it on by holding power for around 10 seconds, then the lenovo logo -> then recovery menu
3. Also If I hold down volume down and power it on it boots into the test app, to test if all stuff works.
4. In the test app I tested the volume buttons and recognized the up button had no response, so I took it apart and measured it. And if I press volume up then I get a good reading (peep). So the volume keys both are good.
5. The I tested flash a stock rom to test if that fixed the problem. I used TB_8704X_S001025_190606_ROW from the lenovo rescue program, but if I try to flash it inside the recovery menu over SD Card it only said wrong footer, error 21.
6. So i decided to use the qfil and the base stock rom TB-8704X_S000026_170707_ROW_QFIL. And after I always get sahara error messages if I use it only windows 10, I booted up an old win xp PC installed version .460 and the Qualcomm drivers, then hold down volume up plugged in USB, clicked the right Qualcomm com port and all went well first try no errors.
7. Then I unplugged the tablet, hold down power until it reboots but still nothing only recovery menu.
That's why I decided to post here, in hope someone can help, has new ideas or something else.
I hope all is good understandable.
//edit I uploaded to images, that's what I get if I boot f.e. the latest stock rom (named as factory_update.zip) from lenovo on an fat32 formatted sd card (exfat will give error and is not been able to mount)
Update:
I also managed to update to the latest rom from lenovo. Then it boots again in recovery mode but a different error.
For testing I've put the sd card with the same lasted update file inside. Then it starts the update process again. It starts install, tries to erase and then error and it boots again and then I'm in a boot loop until I remove the SD (because the image is named factory_update.zip so it's auto starts update process)
Pictures in attachment
Im pretty sure after all my testing, it's a hardware failure so, this thread can be closed.
