Caska Android 4.4.2 2 din

Has anybody managed to root android caska 4.4.2?
Thanks

Anyone?
It says:
mcu: v3.00h7_ca712_f7e1430
kernel: 3.0.36+
android 4.4.2
Thanks

Also looking for a way to root this HU too.

Why don't you just flash Malaysk's ROM? It's easier and the ROM is much smoother than stock.

I've never used Android, I'm a iOS user and very afraid to brick my unit. I just download ROM for 4.4.2 and boot it according to the instructions?
My unit shows:
MCU Version: V3.00F8_CA380_E55B_ECI1455
Build number: D200 Ver2.01 20141228.2309
TCON Version: V6.00_HSD80_EC28e
Many thanks for your help!

I actually tried a Malaysk's rom and It gave me error in the middle of installation. I had to return the original rom. Not quite sure if I used the correct malaysk's rom. I have a rk3066 android. 4.4.2

Hi Guys,
I also have a similar unit. Did you manage to make a backup of current image? I want to upgrade because I have two issue: sometimes the unit doesn't complete the startup and I can't use sygic navigator.

By your username I assume you're brazilian, right?
Where did you buy your unit?
This night I've managed to talk to a Caska sales director for LATAM and he said that they cannot give the stock ROM for security reasons. I still have problems with the clock and the startup also (blank screen). They say their engineering team is working on fixing that issue, but China has a holiday that starts today (Oct 1st.) and only ends Oct 7th. So I'll only have an answer after that day.
Maybe you can talk to your seller and see if he gives any support (I bought mine at www.rcmultimidias.com.br).

Sure I am, you are right.
I bought mine from aliexpress. I found a update.img file in some folder, but I'm not sure if it is the full image. I opened that image in a linux box and looks like we have everything, there some ext4 images, boot image and a lot of other files, but I'm not 100% sure about it. May be somebody with experience could verify that.
Another annoying thing is the music and video apps not reading files from sdcard, they only read USB and inand. I've modified the Music app to point it to the correct path, but I couldn't install it back to the unit (It fails to install without any error). At least if I could reassign music and video buttons to another app, that would be ok (VLC is working fine, just need to adjust volume).

Normally you have to boot in recovery mode, something that I still don't know how to do for this unit, and then use that update.img to restore. See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662, there some possible procedures there and may be one of them work for the caska.
How big is the update.img file they sent to you?

Yeah. I have tried everything but could not boot. It is just a blank screen.
Here you go with the update.img.
https://www.sendspace.com/file/mjkgfj

Here I posted a video with all the problems I'm experiencing with this unit. The main problem is that I cannot setup the right time, so all Android apps are useless (they require a secure connection to their servers and this is only allowed with a valid certificate [that needs the correct date]).
I was trying to root my unit so that I could use ClockSync to fix the time every 30 seconds (it resets after 1 minute), but had no success on that.

Hi!
So, where did you managed to talk to Caska? I've tried contact with Caska Brasil with no success (they say they do not offer support for Android units), and Caska Global didn't give any answer ([email protected]).
I've downloaded your update.img, but it's for CA712 and my unit is a CA380-XLA, I'm afraid to brick it. Have you tried entering recovery mode pressing reset and power buttons the same time?

I can reassign the screen buttons in my unit. In the settings, go to the last menu: "Shortcuts". Not sure if there's a way to reassign the physical buttons without modifying the original ROM.

I'm newbie as well, but I know that you must need possible clue, since you brick your unit. I'm afraid to point you to the wrong direction, but I believe it deserves to try. I saw some threads discussing about the bootloader and connect via USB. Looks like to have to install the usb driver for the rock chip (RK3066, since it is dual core and there is a file RK3066Loader_uboot_upgrade2_4_16gok.bin in the update.img file). I don't have more details on that, but may dig deeper.

I've tried pluggin a USB to the unit and connecting it to my PC with no success, no devices are recognized. I have developer mode active but no options to enable USB Debugging.

So, I was able to extract all APKs from the file danylam hosted, and it's quite different from my unit: I have only one "Settings" menu, and in my unit some essential apps weren't installed (like HBS_Carkit_ChangeLogoUtil.apk and HBS_Carkit_SyncGPSTime.apk). I've installed them and solved one of my problems: car starting with a GMC logo. But the SyncGPSTime.apk isn't being called by any applications, so it's not starting (and I cannot start from itself).
Then I tried installing the Settings.apk that came with the ROM and ended up with a non functional setup menu, unfortunately. Since in that version most settings are changed from the "Android Settings", and I couldn't install that apk (it shows me an unknown error), I've lost some essential menus.

The only way to talk to caska global is using skype (coagent,service). Normally they are online at 9pm (Sao Paulo time).

I found the update.img in my CA712 with a simple search for update.img. I used the file browser and and did the search from / device.

This is the linux tool to open the image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257331
command:
Code:
./imgrepackerrk update.img
It creates a update.img.dump folder and the bin file should be in the update.img.dump/Image
Boot.img is compressed and if you want to see content do this:
Code:
mkdir boot
cd boot
gzip -cd ../boot.img | cpio -i -

Tried searching mine but couldn't find any *.img files. But at least I've managed to uninstall the CA712 settings from my unit and revert to the original one.
Looks like your unit is a little bit different from mine.

Help identify unit, manufacturer code ZQ?

I bought one of these Chinese Android boxes that integrate with your existing head unit and I'm trying to find any information about it, and which forum I should be posting questions to. FWIW I have a VW Touareg with an RNS850 system that is basically the same thing as the Audi MMI 3g+ system, but with a touch screen.
Here is some model and version info:
Model: ZQ8002
MCU: TUREG-ZQAND-1.1
APP: MTK-8002_C37_GA1_DZSJ_DaZhong_EN_2019-05-27
Android: 6.0
CPU: 4 core 32-bit CPU Coetex-A7 @1.3G
RAM: 2GB
Flash: 16GB
Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1449.MD.WG.MP.V61.P3
Kernel: 3.18.19 [email protected] #2
Hostname: fise8321_tb_m (seen via ADB shell)
It has a "Factory Settings" menu similar to other Android head units I've seen mentioned here. That presents a numeric keypad. I figured out a few codes for it:
0000: Bunch of debugging toggles, also toggle for ZLink CarPlay
5555: Just says "ok" when you enter it. I think this turns on ADB over TCP. I was able to ADB to it after this, but I had also use a terminal emulator to enable it.
9999: Single item to allow installation of "APP", which I assume is the firmware?
The box on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PJGLD41/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Main issues I'm trying to solve right now is that my skip track buttons on my steering wheel aren't doing anything, even though I can see the CAN bus events in the logs when I press the buttons. I'm hoping there's a Factory Setting code I haven't found that might let me change the CAN Bus settings. It has carCanBus and FactorySettings apks that I was able to decompile, but didn't find anything useful.

Hi Albe, is this something I could copy off of the unit? I have not had mine installed for a couple of years, but I am interested in trying to get this thing updated to possibly fix some of the issues I had with it. It may be a long time before I work on it, but if you could provide the file system path to copy the MCU file, I will provide it for you. If it's more involved than just copying a file, just let me know what I need to do or link me to a guide. Thanks!

I don't know how is it possible to exctract the MCU file (.bin) by the interface. I could try to find online anything to do it. i try to find softwars and so on, if i'will try i tell you something. I send many mails to producer of the unit, but everytime i do it, he tell me to waiting for response of the engineering department......and i wait. My MCU was TUREG-ZQAND-1.3 but i think your version 1.1 coluld going rigt for mine.

Question about locked launcher in Chinese Android HU

Hello all
Today I am fighting with small but irritating problem.
I bough chinese HU and it's launcher is just horrible. Cant make any adjustmens etc. So I tried to install Agama that has been worked perfectly with earlier units that I had. Problem is that I cannot make any new launchers default at any trick.
I have tried and noticed the following:
- Reset apps and click home button (does not work, does not even ask default)
- In setting launcher settings are hidden/missing
- Apps like Launcher Uninstaller see all the lauchers but cant change or uninstall anything
- In the carapp->factory settings (pw 8888)->launcher->only few preinstalled launcher that I can pick but not anything else
I allso tried to root with Kingo Root, it does its job and after restart everything is like it was before (locked bootloader???)
So if anyone can give me any advise I would be very very happy
UNIT:
Ossuret XL6107.20210427.112507
MCU XL6107_V104_20210514_
Android 10
2/32GB
A7 1.3GHz x 4

Kingo root idk if it unlocks the bootloader but have u opened the app and checked if root access it there?

You could use adb to remove the apps you dont need or install a new launcher

I have checked and no root access after many attempts.
I will try adb, I googled it but it's a totally new for me so I need to some studying how to work with it. Thanks for the info

Hi, do you solve the problem?
I'm also trying to change the launcher (same unit).

Use ADB to uninstall it and grant permissions.

I have not yet tried to change it, have been busy. I have tried to learn how to work with ADB but it seems there is so many ways and commands.
Anyone can confirm is this even close if I want to set another launcher main and disable original (If cannot be uninstalled)?
adb shell cmd shortcut get-default-launcher
adb shell cmd package set-home-activity "your.package/.YourLauncherActivity"
adb shell pm disable nameofdefaultlauncher
Thanks

If you remove the default launcher it'll ask you to set a new one.

It's a real pain. I even get no developer access. It's all blocked or hiding. No chance to use ADB :-(
(Sorry for my bad english)

Can you tell me your model and make of the headunit?

hello guys, it looks like this unit is having trouble changing the launcher. I have the same product with the same problem and I am looking for solutions. I also tried an update but it doesn't work. I hope we find a solution.

No, I don't have access.

You can replace stock launcher with root. It is a bit of a process though. Can you share a screenshot of your System Info? Should look something like this.

Thanks for the answer.

A person above rooted with KingoRoot but i dont trust that cause of how it steals data or smth.
there is a way to access dev settings but there is a specific way for a certain HU

So the build version dosent do anything?
What is in the factory settings dialogue?
You can try root idk if it works for you

allwinner quad core android 10 double din upgrading

I don't suppose anyone would mind educating me on how to upgrade the android software and mcu of this head unit please.
The only real problem experiencing is I deleted the previous Google and play store account off of the unit and now it won't let me input my details it just stops halfway through inputting my email address on sign up
Would be much appreciated regards Terry

Is this the k2001n? If it is you just need to grab the update.zip firmware and put it on a USB pen drive put it into the USB port of the unit go to the car settings and top hit the system tab and should be around the middle there is a upgrade button if it finds the update.zip on the USB drive it with just confirm and then start updating, good luck bud

If you know the name of the unit you could request the stock firmware from their support, other than that you could find someone that has a unit just like yours and see if they would make a copy of theirs. Mine has same stats almost but it's a little off and my just throw an error while updating.

Carlinkit AI CPC200 Root Help

I've got a Carlinkit AI CPC200, and I am trying to figure out how to root it. I have opened developer options, and it says the bootloader is already unlocked. When I plug it into my computer, though, it doesn't come up, but I don't know if I even need to use ADB. Can I just download Magisk, a copy of the bootloader.img file (which I may need help finding), and have Magisk do its magic? Sorry for being a noob, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

What did you find/try from reading forums

I try to search it with no success. Can we "root" the Carlinkit AI BOX Mini ROM?
Thank you so much. I see that i can't modify some parameters because when the device reloads return the value to default.
Greetings

This is no head unit, so wrong forum

Thanks!! Can you change the thread to its corresponding site? and by the way, you know the solution to our question?

Sorry, but I have no experience with Carplay systems. I use real Android car radios so I don´t need carplay.
As these units you are talking about are just adds to an existing OEM radio, You may be better hosted in the Android Auto General forum, but even there I don´t see something related to these boxes.
