[Q] acer iconia a500

hi im new to android but my problem is that when i boot it it just stays on acer screen iv tried resstin but nothin happens acer surport wont help im pullin my hair out its been like this for 2 days now and nothin at all any 1 help thanks

So what did you try to do to it?

i tryed ressetin it with the reset button but nothin happens i read on here something about put usb keyboard on and press home done that it just says e:/dev/block/mmcblk1 does not exist e:failed to mount /mnt/sdcard (no such file or directory)e:cant /mnt sdcard/update.zip installation aborted

No, I mean what did you do to break it? Or was it like that when you bought it? If so, far easier to take it back.

it was like that when i bought it

Then it's probably far easier to take it back, as we can't tell what's actually wrong with it.

just return it to your seller and ask for replacement...

Boot takes quite while. How long did you wait before giving up? Also does it have a full battery charge? You might try booting it up while it is plugged in and charging.

left it on for an hour just wont boot up my daughter bought it of ebay with that fault on it thinkin i would be able to fix it but i no nothing about these things

OK, well in that case, I suggest you search the board for the Chinese update.zip fix and instructions, then look in the full package and update thread. Read EVERYTHING about them, then try the steps described to fix the device.
You could also try grabbing the new 3.1 official (leaked) update, copy it to an external SD card, and boot in to recovery (Power + -Vol button (the left side of the volume rocker).

Alright...which one of you early A500 hackers sold this guy's daughter your bricked A500?

thanks to all managed to sort it out

Well? Do tell!

[Q] Need HELP ASAP?

I have a Google Nexus 4......I had a problem with my Provider and it's phone service, I called them to request help, she said to remove the SIM Card and replace it..........here is where it gets STUPID, it has been sometime since I installed it, I forgot where it was, got real confused under pressure of being on the phone etc.....remembered the "little special tool", she says put it in the little hole and the tray will slide out, WELL, I found this little hole, looked to b made for it, but it was to the right of the charger plug in.......I poked it in there several times.....of course NOTHING Happened.............after I hung up from tech support, I then found the the actual SIM Tray and the REAL "hole" I should have put that tool into........so I did.....then reinserted the SIM Card as she said to.........I press ON button, or not, I am getting "unending" 4 dot color display that it runs when it is like loading a OS or something............BUT...........it will NOT stop!!! I am guessing I FUBARRED the OS or something by putting that tool into the hold on the bottom.
PLEASE, if you can, tell me what I've done and what I need to do to restore my Nexus 4 to a "normal" life!
THANKS, michael

Hi Michael
Where exactly did you stick the pin in the first place? Did you stick it in a hole next to the usb /charging port. That is the microphone which means you might have damaged it.
Anyway, to return to normal os use this guide it's foolproof

Spend probably 2 hours with Google Tech Support on this yesterday...........he/they could NOT solve.......and it would NOT do a Factory Wipe and Reset......it's bricked for some unknown reason, he has sent me an RMA etc.......and they will replace it with a "
refurb". RATS! Better than zilch though!

Could you get into recovery or fastboot at all?

He walked me thru all the steps and YES, we'd get the options to choose these choices and we did......BUT.....it would not or could not carry
out the actions at all..........it's a BRICK! NADA! Received RMA Authorization and await a Factory REFURB replacement at this time.
Sure ODD, makes me wonder how many of these N 4s have just DIED like this? Mine has hardly ever even left the house....never, ever
abused in any way.

Bricked my new MK809IV Please help....

well Yeah.. so i bought this stick just now on ebay thinking it should be good enought to give away for streaming some live tv and so on, but
this had obviously the WIFI problem and there i was..
Not beeing able to use WIFI i started to search for different roms and after a couple days constantly searching HOW TO- and downloading different ROMS and watching youtube on how to flash i set up to the task once again..
Beeing able to flash both Nvidia tablets, Samsung Telephones, and Xiaomi i felt confident that i would be able to fix this..
But no, i had a couple different roms that started up With start screen but then that was it, nothing more i couldnt get past start boot logo on either of the 3 roms i thought was correct so i startd to search for same chip roms as this has the 3229 rockchip and the AS something number wifichip..
But then after flashing With a unknown rom it wouldnt start up again or even get recogniced by the computer usb again..
I tried the reset button, i tried shortcutting pin 6-7 and most likely all other as well but no Luck..
There is a blue light but its only halfway as Bright as when the stick was ON and working.
So its like its stuck in some low Power recovery or i dont know..
At least it lights up when i plug it in.
this is the stick With the red "plastic antenna"
Its not an antenne after all by lokking at it but maybe it serves some purpose of making People think its an antenna..
Any suggestions will be apreciated as now i consider it as Waste and after just spending 35 USD on it i would like it to at least get it back so i can sideload some games on it and give it away rather than putting it in the trashcan..
I attach link to the crap i bought so you get the idea of what it is and to also avoid..
Thank you all for all help!!

Hi.
I think I have the same device as you. And also I tried to flash another rom without success, so until I find a good rom, its just a small brick.
I also been in the same situation as you, but you have to short pins 7-8 to revive. Its the pins facing the middle of the device, and counting from the device edge/side.
Good luck. If you find a working rom for it, let me know

No, i have had no luck. Piece of **** device.
Got 80% refund from seller after a couple weeks of complaining.
Just throw it away and buy a ZAPPATI media player or a Nvidia shield if you dont use any 3D.

Hi again.
If you ever revive your dongle, you can get a working rom from the following link:
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/rockchip-based-tv-players/rk3229-devices/firmware-roms-tools-bg/623420-mk809iv-rk3229-bricked-how-to-unbrick?p=646882#post646882
It worked for me

Thanks. I will try. Any tips in how to revive it??

I also have an mk809iv. I couldn't get developer options to show after tapping build number but it said "no need you are already a developer" (I assume its preunlocked?) I got bored and decided to flash a rom. I have the rockchip factory tool and rockchip batch tool. I tried flashing an update and the problems began lol
OK..... The stick now doesn't have a blue led on AT All. Tried original mains power source different USB cables different ports on laptop etc.
When I connect it to the TV it doesn't show up on the hdmi. Have I really fried it properly ?
Is there a way to use command on pc or adb shell or something to unlock the bootloader. In batch tool I can see the device after shorting pin 6/7 method but when I load firmware and start to flash then it comes up with failed at boot every time and on different versions of the tool.
I rooted the device before with King root (not king o root) and flashed supersu via rom installer app. Assuming that developer options are open by default, the device should be rooted now...... Right? ?
Anyway is there a way to uninstall all the software and reinstall the manufacturers firmware via the pc ? I have included pics of the board, but when looking at other people's pics the have a lot more chips and nand chips etc mine has one chip on the back and on the other side what I presume to be a heat sync (look like a bit of a tin can
Lol)
I have been on many forums for about 48hrs straight now ? and still can't find answers *sigh*
Recap:- 1 is it fried
2 if not can I sort it via pc
3 HOW?! lol
One last thing, would it run on cyanogenmod 11 ? it's an android device running kit kat and my gingerbread S2 is now on cm11 or are the internal "gibbons" different ?
Many thanks to anyone who can lend me a hand ??

Bricked Atoto A6, Need some help.

Have not done much with rooting android devices in years and recently bought an Atoto A6 for a work van. I started messing around with it at home. Was able to gain root with Kingoroot and the replacing it with SuperSU. I emailed them about unlocking the bootloader but I'm not sure whoever responded even knew what I was talking about. Although ADB was working with system booted, I was not able to connect to the unit in fastboot. If you boot into recovery, it automatically runs an update and reboots. And if you boot into Fastboot with acc powered, fastboot automatically restarts. So using adb to reboot into bootloader and then removing power from acc would get me to a fastboot screen(although screen is off, putting power back to acc would show screen at fastboot mode) but I was never able to connect. I was trying different things to boot into an actual recovery, the A6 has no physical buttons, just a small hole for the reset. At some point it completely stopped responding. None of the sensor buttons light up and nothing on the screen. The micro sd I had in no longer works either. I did have update.zip backed up. Anyone know if there would be a way to use that to boot from a new micro sd or any other ideas to try, any help is appreciated.
The a6 has a mediatek mt8127. Was coming up as Alps A6. The build was alps/full_A6_series/A6_series:6.0/MRA58K/1506516231:user/test-keys . I did have it apart and have pics of the board, don't know if they would be useful though.

Upon further review, board mounted reset button was screwed up, all good now. Would be nice to figure out the bootloader on this, although I don't have it installed in a vehicle, this unit seems to run pretty well. Not a fan of the the launcher setup and appearance .

Glad you "unbricked" it, and glad somebody is willing to risk rooting it. That might go on my weekend project list, would appreciate more details on Kingroot and how you swapped it with SSU. I miss ad blockers, among other things.
I got the same unit from Amazon last week (2gb touch only version), but wish I had opted for the physical button model now.
My biggest complaint is the damned FM radio app, which by default comes on when it comes out of sleep, and there's no obvious way to disable it. The volume level on FM is like 2x streaming/MP3 volume so it blasts you when starting the car if you forget to turn volume way down when you get out. I'd love to know the actual app name so I could disable it entirely, since I never listen to broadcast radio anyway.
Oh, and the parallax on the thing is annoying, getting a finger lined up on small touch targets takes some practice.
Other than that issue, I'm not unhappy with the unit. 2-second boot is legit, and living in Florida and an open sunroof junkie, I'm especially pleased with the screen brightness.
Using CarWebGuru instead of the default Atoto launcher makes for a much better experience, and I like the fact that the Atoto controls on the bottom (home, back, multi-tasking, brightness, mute) all remain there no matter what launcher you choose.
Sound quality using my car's factory amp (via a Metra CANBUS harness) is surprisingly good too, I can't tell much difference between the A6 and the Pioneer FH-X730 it replaced at the volume levels I like, though there is some RF bleed from the SoC. And it's a near-perfect fit in a Schoshe double-din GM dash kit, there's not enough room for a toothpick around the edges of the screen and the dash kit inner bezel.

For rooting use KingOroot. You need the one for windows, the app on the unit itself won't do it. Then just google replacing kingoroot with Supersu, there are lots of threads about it. You could try the simple version but I ended up manually replacing files to do it, it's not bad at all. I wouldn't be to worried about bricking it, I have been trying all different things to get to a bootloader and at worst it re-updated and was working fine. What i did with the reset button, Ive done to othere devices, those surface mount buttons are junk. After doing a ridiculous amount of research, I found that MTK units don't enable fastboot. The preloader is what you have to get into to do anything, using mtk drivers. I could catch it right when its booting, installs the mtk vcomm drivers, but jumps right out. Once you are in that you need their flash tool, SDflash and there is MTKtools. So once thats figured out, i'm hoping to be able to get a custom recovery on. Without fastboot, it seems a bit more tricky, without that reset button I could be missing something simple. Hopefully more people start screwing with these, I doubt the people at Atoto are going to be of much help. So far tho, it seems like a decent unit. Let us know if you find out anything.

So far I was able to extract the boot and recovery img files. You can connect to the preloader using SP Flash by setting it up to read

Ima let you do the heavy lifting on this one Stabone.
For now, I'm just frustrated on the damn FM app opening at startup and it's nested in the Atoto firmware somewhere, not an isolated app.
One other quirk, on my car (with GM 11bit CANBUS), the illumination signal seems to be flipped from what Atoto is expecting...lights on means brighter screen, lights off means dim. I've tried it with both an Axxess and PAC CANBUS adaptor, so it's not the harness' fault. Just using the NONE setting for now and manually dimming the screen myself.

I sure hope stabone00 keeps working on this. I have been following this thread closely. I have been wanting to root this but I have it installed in the car now. why cant this be easy like a nexus 7. I am very afraid of bricking it and I really like the head unit

Not sure what happened to my last post, it should've been a bit longer then that, hah, oh well. Anyway I'm a little stuck here. After finding out as much as I did, I was going to try a few things. I'm running a dual boot laptop with opensuse as my main and a windows 10, for occasions as such, the tools used for this head unit are more abundant for windows(at least found easier). So recently I wiped my systems and now am having this Rsa Key Fingerprint issue when trying to connect with adb. I'm spending way to0 much time on this as it is, lol. But running into this bs is really pain. Now I've tried for hours to do something here but it's almost as someone's watching what i'm doing and countering my moves. Now I've factory reset this thing about four times and never lost root. After struggling with this rsa fingerprint issue, I did a factory reset and now SuperSu is gone, although I can't say for sure totally cause I still have not access to ADB. Any suggestions for the rsa issue, let me know, otherwise I'm not going to be wasting much more time with this. BTW, anyone getting anywhere with this, you need the modified version of MTK android tools to recognize this unit. I have boot and recovery img's and a scatter file if needed.

Got passed issue with adbkeys. Now I accidentally flashed a recovery when it was not ready. I am now stuck in a boot loop. Made lots of backups, but for some reason, none contain the preloader.bin. Not sure why that happened, but that is needed to flash backups with SP tools. If anyone could send me that, it would be great. I can't pull it cause I can't get it to connect to mtk droid tools. Maybe there is another way, but I don't know it.

Have you tried anything with it yet? There's quite a bit to it. The info is all searchable on here, you are looking for mediatek devices, sp flash tool, mtk droid tools. Let me know if you have adb and drivers installed. All the info needed for this unit is available , but there is a lot of info on mediatek devices, so it's a lot to look at. You need to have developers options enabled and oem unlocked and usb debugging on . If you can connect to your unit through adb, thats a start. Don't attempt anything with fastboot, it's not enabled on this unit. You'll then want to look for the modified version of mtk droid tools 2.5.3. If you are able to connect with that, I'll tell you what to do next. Not so sure my unit is recoverable, i've lost the startup atoto screen and can no longer connect with sp flasher. Hopefully there is something that can be done.

No I haven't done anything with it yet. I wasn't planning on rooting the device. The only reason it's not in my car already is it's been 10-20 F and I don't have a garage. I have the thing sitting on my kitchen table so I can play with it.
I'll look through the info and see what I can do.

I have it hooked up with two switches, one feeds constant and other switch, and other switch feeds acc. Rooting it isn't too bad, but if you look into how the sp flasher is used, you could make a stock rom before doing it. I'm hoping there are test points on the board that can be used to get this flashed again. I'm not sure how it got this far gone. I had it bootlooping at the ATOTO startup, tried to flash the original boot and recover, seems like it wiped the preloader.

Have you had luck in unbricking your atoto?
I'm thinking about buying one also buy would like to root with kingroot and put a recovery into stereo if it's possible. Let me know your success is possible.
Thanks

So far it seems to be a very solid unit. Rooting it isn't an issue. I had been trying different things with this unit and at one point I thought it was almost unbrickable. It still might be, just haven't found a solution for my issue (which was completely my fault), although I'm pretty confident there is one. There is a lot of info about mediatek devices on here, a bit different approach when flashing a custom recovery.
Overall I was liking the unit, hadn't seen any issues some of the others had. Hope to see more people getting involved.

I hope you get the unit working soon.
I'm thinking about getting the same unit and I want to root it so I can get ADAWARE and XPOSED app installed. I'm also thinking about getting a Bluetooth media steering control for it also.
I've only seen the Atoto A6 on Amazon.ca for about $280. Hopefully there is another site that sells cheaper.
Again good luck and keep us informed with your progress if possible.
Steven

Atoto offered a to replace the unit with the PB model, as this one is no longer available. After doing as much research as I did, I am certain that this can be fixed. There should either be a way for force the preloader or get into a meta mode/ flashing mode. I'm going to keep it and see. I'm ordering the PB as soon as it is available again on Amazon.

So driving home from work today, I noticed an update pending for the A6. Was in a good coverage area (using a MiFi hotspot, btw, not my phone), downloaded it at a long stop light, hit install, and after reboot, I got the dead Android ERROR! graphic. About **** myself, thought I might have bricked it. At the next red light, I did a reset (I keep a slim toothpick in the console now, for just such emergencies) and I'm back to the old November build.

I ended up sending my 62721p back and am waiting for the pb model.
Did you have it rooted?

Nope, couldn't be assed, it's basically a Poweramp/Waze/Spotify machine for me now, figured I don't need root for that, and all the cool root-level stuff the Rockchip and Sofia units get isn't available for this thing anyway.
Did get the update to stick the second time around, but noticed no changes in functionality. MCU got updated as well.

Seicane H276L -- What type HU is it? ROMs available?

Sorry for the n00b'ness of this post. I tried to post the link directly to the unit, but the forum is preventing me from doing so. If you search for "H276L" on seicane(dot)com, it's the more expensive (8-core) unit.
I'm highly considering buying this unit, but I want to make sure there are ROMs that are being developed for it. I had an MTCB Joying unit in my last car that worked like crap until I found a good ROM for it on here. If this unit's platform isn't being developed on here, I have no interest in buying it. Being a Jeeper, it'd be super handy to have my trail apps (Gaia GPS, AllTrails, etc.) run directly on my head unit, but if I'm going to spend $ on my HU, I'm gonna get one really worth my while.
TIA!

Looking for Roms!
Hello,
I recently did purchase this unit and I have been extremely unhappy with the stock ROM. I am looking now to root the device later today (putting together a tutorial right now. I am still looking for a ROM however. The initial unit seriously has no apps that function fully. Every app force closes or doesn't function as expected. I am extremely technical and can usually fix any issues. I worked with Seicanes (non-existent) support for the last month with no success. They will require you to pay shipping to and return (so basically if you ship it back and want another you are spending a few 100 more). I am going to try and root and install custom ROM instead, if I can find one.
Thanks,
Brady

Thanks Brady,
Please keep me posted. I pulled the trigger on this guy 2 days ago -- waiting for it to ship. I had an Eonon unit in my Cadillac, and it was the same story. Support is useless, stock ROM is crap, but with the right ROM, it becomes awesome.

Hello,
After many trial and error attempts I was able to finally find an extremely amazing OS! Malaysk is the way to go once you get your Seciane Unit. Everything works fully and is extremely easy to use. The installation was really easy honestly and it didn't take long to get it to work correctly. If you go to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3590033 you can view the forum based on the unit you have and get the correct firmware. I used the free (LITE) version for about 1 week and then decided to pay the $20 to the developer to get the full version (SO WORTH IT!!). @Malaysk did an amazing job and this is the way to go!
Thanks,
Brady

Hello,
After many trial and error attempts I was able to finally find an extremely amazing OS! Malaysk is the way to go once you get your Seciane Unit. Everything works fully and is extremely easy to use.

Brady, thanks for this link. I have h221 and it appears I might be able to use the rom. What I can't do is get into recovery, and I can't get into developers options. I'm on a stock Android 9 and for some reason, they disabled the ability to tap the build # seven times to get to developers options. Did you have this problem, and how did you get into recovery mode. I searched everywhere and tried all combos of holding the reset button, no luck. I emailed secaine but no luck so far. Any help appreciated, Thanks johnm

Update and recovery instruction
Great to hear! I actually had the exact same issue as you and I found that seicane was of no help. However I finally figured out how to get into recovery mode (don’t need to do anything with rooting or getting into developer options). To get into recovery you should have a pin hole reset button. Do the following steps.
1. Hold in reset button until unit powers off and you see side buttons blink (10-20 seconds it usually took)
2. Immediately after this happens let the reset switch go
3. Immediately after this hold in button again until lights blink once (about 1-2 seconds)
4. Press and release button a third and final time and it will boot into recovery mode. (Quick press release)
After I got into recovery I wiped cache, then factory reset, rebooted, installed the recoveryinstaller apk file (included with Rom download) it reboots you and installs new rom and you will be good to go!
Thanks,
Brady
