I just bought and installed this unit in my 2010 Prius from a seller on Ali Express
I want to install a custom ROM on it but first I want to make sure I can successfully boot into recovery in case something goes horribly wrong. The seller REALLY doesn't want to share that information with me, so I was wondering if someone here might know how this is done.
If you have a reset button...
Press it (with toothpick) and hold it pressed until you see blinking the lights of buttons...then release and press it again until you see the lollipop logo. Release it and you will be on recovery menu.
You can move on different options from recovery by pressing quickly the reset button and choose an option by holding pressed the reset
if I did help you, please hit "thanks" button

So I tried that, but on my unit when you press the reset button all the light go out and stay out until the button is released. The only time I can get the lights around the buttons to flash three times is when I release the reset button and hold down the power button. But when I release the power button and hold it down again after the flashes it just repeats the three flashes again like the first time. If I release the power button at any time it just loads up like normal. If I hold it down again when the lollipop logo comes on it just goes blank and repeats the three flashes again. If I press the reset button it just resets the unit again, if I hold it down it does nothing until I let go, then it resets the unit again like normal.
The three flashes seem like they mean something but I can't figure out how to get to the next step of actually starting the recovery. I want to flash a custom rom but I am afraid to do it without the safety net of being able to get into recovery if I need to, you know?
any update
I also want to buy this unit, but I'm just not sure:
Does it connect to all the functions of the Prius 3? Camera? Microphone? Steeringwheel buttons? Other?
Or do you need extra modules? Which?
Are you enabled to edit the basic car functions from it at least?
Found the thread on google, waiting for someone custom rom it, its good, everything works excepts its buggy, sometimes camera dont work etc that is why i also want a simlle custom rom on it
Edit: solved here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...pment/mtcd-intel-sofia-units-wifi-3g-t3533154
Could you explain me how? I have same screen but I don't even get those 3 lights pushing both reset + power at same time. Thanks
Hey guys, so I have this media and my camera doesnt work, I just bought this car and when i put to reverse just yellow triangle appears, i found on google that they might be a solution in my factory settings, but I dont know the password, so do any of you know it, i would apreciate any kind of help, thanks.

I have always noticed that it is a good habit to do a Hard Reset after Rom Flash, but I am wondering if I am doing this correctly, so can anyone help me out?
I have always flashed ROMs, then as the system reboots, I have allowed the boot... skipped all setup....and then went straight to settings>security and did the 1234 Hard Reset. Is there a better way to do it?
let the setup complete, turn off the phone , press and hold both vol up and vol down, press and release power (keep holding vol up and down)
on grey screen press vol up phone will restart and run setup again.

that's the way i also do it, no problems whatsoever. if you cannot access the security setting for some reason, you can always do it with the volume and start hardware keys. i think there is no difference, just like there's no difference between the red button reset and restart from the menu.

So as soon as it reaches 100%, the phone restarts itself. I am to stop this process? Sorry, I just want to be sure I am doing it correctly. When should I interrupt the normal restart procedure?

Ah, well... maybe I'll just stick with what I know.
It's also worked without issue for me, so...
I let out run all the way through setting up and then hard reset. (sounds off to me too but hey)

Attention this will brings your installation beck to factory mode.
Reset via phone buttons:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a Hard reset by using buttons on the phone.
- With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
- While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
- When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
- Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

i wrote that i have tried that, and it didn't help
did you do anything before this happened? (your first post is typically bare of any facts) like flash a new rom? If so what? Does it show the RGD info bottom left on the screen it hangs on? You said you tried hard reset but it didnt work, , do you mean it didnt work, or it worked but didnt fix it?

i hard reset it but it didn't fix it. i have ran froyo nexus one on it for a couple of weeks and the last week i tried hyperdroid. but after i have installed hyperdroid, sometimes it just restart by itself i have read other who got the same problem.but sometimes it it did not reboot again, there was only a white screen, and then i have to soft reset it a couple of times until it reboot correctly. but then the last 2 days it got worse with the reeboting and now it can't boot
you must update your rom with your sd card without boot to windows..(i know u can't it's for this reason than i say that)
but i dont understand how do it.. sorry search on this forum
Hi !
I bought a Nexus 4 for 10 bucks from a taxi driver knowing it has this problem . I searched the whole internet and barely found some info, most of the people who got this problem just force closed it and then it worked. But with this one, it happens everytime i turn it on.
You can see the problem in the video.
Also, if i let it boot, i can change the volume and i managed to turn on the flash, so the touch is working. And the screen does the same thing if i wake it, but it's not that bright..
Can anyone help me ?
I don't know if it has root or anything, if you can at least help me with a guide to flash it without knowing anything about the software or the settings in it, i'd be really thankful!

Hi
If you can go to stock recovery i.e press an hold volume down+power button until you see bootloader.
Then press volume down key until you see recovery. Press power button to select.
Then press an hold power button and press volume up key and release all keys.
Now you are in recovery.
You can do a factory wipe.
See if that solves the problem.
Good Luck

Hello,
Is there anyone who can help me? I have a total android crash in my Seat Ibiza Android 6.0.1 Car DVD (2GB ram, 32GB, Octacore)
I need to know how to acces android recovery mode, i tried a lot of button combinations but can't find it.
The Chinese seller doesn't react at all to my question, so i hope anyone here can give me the perfect key combination.
The password of factory settings is 126 i know that, but i can't enter the screen because of total android crash.
Greetings and tank you already,
Joa Wah

Found it:
Long press volume/power (is one knob) button, press reset with pen or paperclip keep both for 5 seconds. Then release reset, hold volume/power button 1 second longer. Release volume/power button and push it short again. Now unit boots to recovery mode.
Short press to go to item of your choice, long press to select.

If you want to reach recovery mode and reset your phone follow these steps:
1. Make sure the phone is powered off. If it isn't, press and hold the volume up button and the power button until the screen closes. then release your hold.
2. Connect the phone to the charger and wait till you see the charging screen (a big battery icon with a percentage).
3. Press and hold the volume up button and the power button for exactly 10 seconds and release. After 2-5 seconds you should see a new screen with an android saying "no command". If you don't see the new screen you either released too early or too late. repeat steps 1-3.
4. Hold the power button and press the volume button once. and release. This should take you to recovery mode.
5. Scroll using the volume buttons and select factory reset using the power button and confirm.
This would reset yout phone.
