Witson BL8236 - Firmware Update? - Android Head-Units

Howdy, folks.
I just purchased and installed a Witson 8236 (10.25") Android head unit running Android 8.1 powered by an rk3399 CPU.
Every time I switch over to the Android side, I am getting an Active Headlamp Error (BMW) which goes away when I switch back to the OEM side of the system. The other issue is that the iDrive controller does not work at all in the Android environment, though this is a far less alarming issue.
It's my hope that this is only a firmware issue and I can update to address the issue, or even downgrade if necessary.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to find any available update? I don't even have the Password to access their settings environment, and their support is lousy, which is to say: nonexistent.
Thanks!

Bump. Sorry folks, I'm new to the whole Android auto thing, so I don't even know where to start with this - not even sure if I should be looking under AVIN or another vendor. Looking for a firmware update to resolve the above problems. Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks. Got that info from Witson. I'm having a problem with an 'Adaptive Headlight Error' warning every time I switch to the Android side of the head unit. I'm also not getting any navigation at all on the Android side using the iDrive knob, it's touch screen only.
I made the mistake of using the 'Factory Reset' but I coudln't say for sure if this was already a problem before, or if resetting the unit caused it. Here it is in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jze8r-2cxKc

I did the same thing, and it was a chore to get them to send the respective files to re-flash. Send me a PM to remind me, and I'll see if I can dig them up for you. They're really not strong with support.

Hi, i also did a factory reset and everything seems to work fine except for bluetooth, which used to work before. Any help on how to upgrade firmware or fix, would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sending a PM now. Are you having trouble with the head unit causing an Adaptive Headlight warning? Every time I switch from the CIC side to Android, the car goes wonky and I get the 'blong' warning sound and a constant error on the headlights. Sometimes it ends in about 10 minutes (an eternity) sometimes it doesn't until I turn the car off for a half hour or so.

Guys I have a AL-C0241 and I just installed Malaysk's firmware.
I stupidly did not check my MCU type before hand, thinking that I would keep the existing MCU if I only updated the image.
Everything seemed to install fine, but when I look in the about tablet section, the first few lines are blank, including the MCU
And now I am getting no sound from the radio. Everything else including the wifi and GPS seems to be working OK, but no sound is a problem.
Can anyone tell me the original MCU code of the AL-C0241 ? This is the autopumpkin 7 inch with no buttons on it, just a flat screen.
you can see my entries on the wiki, it's there

So I think mine is bricked now.
After loading Malaysk 3188/1024 firmware I no longer have:
*sound
*gps
*radio
Still working
*wifi
Any idea what I should do to try and fix it? I tried a few things with the reset button but was unable to achieve factory reset. Should I start trying some of the available MCUs?
Ask Pumpkin to send you an image file of your MCU and Firmware. I just send them an email requesting the same for my unit. I told them that I wanted to back it up and can't unless I am rooted.
Let's see what happens.

Worth a try, I will do that.
Would it be possible to get an image of the stock SD card and use that to revert to factory? perhaps nleitao can take a copy of his if he still has access to the insides of his unit?
I'm pretty annoyed with myself, hopefully I don't have to buy another!

I have been exchanging some emails with them, because I was going to do what you did, but only after having the factory image... This is what I got:
Email said:
Hello Nuno,
Thanks for your email.
We attached the user manual for the AL-C0241,please check
And about the newer firmware and mcu, once we get it, we would release it on our official support www.news.autopumpkin.com
Thanks for your patience.
Have a nice day.
Kind regards,

Thank you so much! downloading now, will post results!
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
Just found a couple of youtube videos, from the official pumpkin channel "pumpkin car stereo support" where they show a software and MCU update for the AL-C0241 !
No download link however! Search AL-C0241 on you tube if interested.
Also checked their blog, no update there
edit: Can't test their firmware because my USBs no longer work, along with most of my hardware.
Its not looking good for me :| Maybe I can find a way to get them working on Malaysk's rom but it's a bit of a catch 22. I can get internet access on the device, however, so all hope is not lost.

Nop, it's an SD card slot
Sorry guys I have no results as yet, got a bit busy last night
I have to rig up a molex connector so I can power the device up while im inside my house, it should be as simple as connecting the yellow 12v rail and the earth to the harness, so hopefully I will be able to inform you of results before long
Thanks for the support
Fixed!
Thanks for all the help
I used the ROM posted earlier in this thread and the internal SDslot and I eventually got everything working again, I much preferred Malaysk's ROM but couldn't manage to get the MCU updated until after I did the ROM update.
I now have alex v1.1.5 however, I used to have v1.1.7, so that's kinda annoying but I can't see the difference right now anyway. I will write to auto pumpkin and try to get the latest image.
I was also not able to get it to power up using my computer power supply. I connected the 12v to the 12v and the earth to the earth but it wouldn't fire up, super annoying.
Now I am just going to enjoy using it for a while

I'm really glad you fixed it up!
You should had connect the red and the yellow to the 12v...
My apologies to the OP for the kind of hijack but I believe this is the thread with most info for this radio.
I'm having problems with my radio. The screen seems to have a bad contact somewhere, making it complete useless to try to work with it. The odd thing is it never happens in the first 20 minutes ater a cold start. Does someone have an idea what is happening here?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMCrWkFdd0I
Second problem. I'm completely unable to pair the radio's Bluetooth with whatever devices. I just cant start the pairing process from the radio side.

That screen flicker doesn't look good Is your warranty void due to opening the device? Could be a hardware fault.
As for the bluetooth pairing, I think mine just worked the first time and I haven't looked at it since. I will have another look later and see if mine is doing the same thing

Today I received this answer from them
Support Email said:
Thanks for your feedback.
We're so sorry for the inconvenience and trouble.
1) Firstly sorry for my wrong info about the instruction before,for this new Android product, currently it has no searching function in the built-in Bluetooth. About dropping the built-in Bluetooth app to pair the Bluetooth OBDII with other Bluetooth app, sorry we did not test it before and not sure the operation. However, this product can directly pair the the Wifi OBDII which is tested by us
2) Regarding this issue, frankly we didn't meet it before, if you're good at electronic, it's ok to open the radio by removing screws around the frame then check out the inside connection and we would still promise the warranty.
If we can be of any assistance,please feel free to tell us,thank you!
Best regards,
Colin

So two things I learned. The crappy Bluetooth App can't connect to other devices. The second is I still have warranty after open the cover and check the internal cables.
Yeah, I suspect hardware fault. It only start happening after 20, 25 minutes after power up. something heats up and puff...

Freezing and restarting Android head unit

Hello everybody! I need your help.. My android unit sometimes works just fine, but it started to act really strange.. When the music is playing, it freezes like buzzing sound, and then restarts.. Sometimes its just stuck on bootloop.. Any opinions what can i do? I asked the seller for update firmware, I updated it, but same thing keeps doing.. Factory reset from settings wont help.. Please, any opinions?
Head unit is from "Wondefoo" seller on Aliexpress.

Thats what checked first.. The CPU temp at working time is 60 Highest.. i put the radiator and fan on the cpu, nothing.. Tried to heat the radio with air heater fan to 90 celsius, and it working just fine.. its just random reboots.. :/
BUMP!
I still need help to fix this issue.. Anybody..? :/
Quick reminder : Sometimes it work great, i drive and listen to music like for 30-60min and then it freezes! Leading to restart, sometimes its stuck on booting, in the bottom corner its says something about " >>Fastboot mode.. After that i have to reset unit using little button for like 5 times till i can boot to system again.. It freezes and restart faster, when i just navigating in menu, like settings.. The seller told me, that they cant give me android 9.0 flash because its not gonna work on my unit.. Next thing they said, that there is possibility im getting these freezes because i dont have CAN BUS decoder, but i dont believe them, because i got other android units which works fine without this decoder..:crying:

Hi everyone, I bought a used 2014 Nissan Maxima S and the previous owner installed an aftermarket, unknown android radio. Worked fine the first year, but recently after getting an alternator replacement (not sure if that means anything but mentioned in case) my radio is stuck in a freeze & reboot loop. The radio isn’t even picking up signal, nor bluetooth signal. This is an unknown, old android device but attached is the device details. Could anyone help me identify the issue? Maybe even help me identify the device model itself, it would
be greatly appreciated.

Good Day I would like to start this forum on Eincar Radios. I found the user manual and support poor and would like to contribute my findings and ask for help in areas where I'm stuck. Also based on my experience I find the carjoying support...
forum.xda-developers.com
There is also a link to a firmware in the thread. I wouldn't invest too much time in the old head unit. Try to flash the firmware and if it doesn't work thinking about a newer device.
I think that your battery is to low in Ampers and simply cannot support multimedia device as some Chinese multimedia devices uses more that 20A when connected to battery and if not charged by alternator. Alternator must charge/recharge battery and it is not culprit for this situation, I would first check battery (like if it empty and not charging and if it has at least 64Ah for stable run of multimedia). You can check battery state with multimeter device.
Second, most probably, you should check wiring connecting from battery and multimedia device - 12V wire and red wire ACC/KEY ignition. If they have voltage either when engine is off -12v constant or with contact/engine running - 12v, then battery is not responsible and it is ok.
Third, all multimedia devices has master reset or factory settings included if booting of device fails. It is triggered with all five fingers pressed on lcd screen, and when message detected or erasing or reseting to factory settings appears. After that procedure multimedia device starts with default options as if would start for the first time (beware : erasing option deletes all settings and files stored on device).
Try with that options first and let us know what happened and if situation is resolved...

What are you talking there?
These units don´t even take 3 Amps!
My PX6 with a 12.8" screen, currently working on my bench at a power supply, takes in the first 2 sec. about 1.7A and calms down to 1.4Amps when the booting process is completed (after ~3-4 sec.)
--------------------------------
The issue here is, that the radio was not complete off, when the battery was disconnected.
Most probably this leaded to a corrupt boot sector and here you are.
@qjbthereal2002 : Sorry to say, but this old unit is not worth to spend time on repairing or searching for a possibility to get it back to life.
Get rid of it and have a look for a new and properly working one. Have a look in this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/fyt-android-head-units.12445/ and you are at home.

There is a multimeter tool to read amps and voltage from device ... I still think it is matter with ampers and voltage.
Old devices sometimes can at peak take up to 15 Ampers and usually fuse is arround 10A, when device surpases that device reloads or reboots or just shuts down. I've seen one problem with that. Just sharing my experiences...
Maybe it is Rigatonni right I don't know. I would try all available options.

15 amps... what? May be if you use an external amplifier, connected to the same fuse, which would be a nogo.
15 Amps... ever heard about Ohm´s law? That would mean this unit would burn around 180Watts in peak... Never ever. I don´t know your multimeter, but to be honest... Don´t trust this device.
At least since 2012 (I am in "this business" since then with working with head units of any kind) I never have seen a single head unit taking more than 5Amps. In this case we are talking about some OEM units. with integrated better amplifiers.
I never have seen any Android head unit taking more than 3Amps in the past 8 years now.
Even if the unit would consume 15 Amps, the fuse would immediately burn and it would not recover as long as you change the fuse.
After burning the fuse it would not even show the boot logo.
No this is no explanation for the behavior of this particular head unit.... never ever.
Fact for some older head units is, that special circumstances as removing the power while booting or shutting down, lead to a bad boot sector. Nothing else. Can be repaired if you have the right tools and the knowledge, but does not make any sense for this old head unit. It has done it´s work for some years now... Rest in peace.

It is almost a great head unit wit dsp and optical out, but have some problems:
- the music app is terrible, first of all the folders/track are showed not in alphabetical order
- the home screen cannot be changed
How could be replaced the stock music app, with similar music user friendly/modded music app like in Hal9k's px5 rom have?
How could it be rooted?

http://icar.vn/forum/threads/huong-dan-root-dau-android-ownice-c960.3115/
In the thread no one says "success!" or "thank you!" like that, I want to get root but I'm scared of breaking my device.
And unfortunately I can't speak Vietnamese.
Attach an image showing my device's system. Thank you!
Hello; i just got this unit. I have not installed it yet.
Have you resolved your issues with it?
On which car have you installed it?
Cheers,
Francesco
I have the Ownice C960 K6 unit.
Do anyone knows how to change the apps that show on home screen ?
When I use the regular method of click and hold the icon, nothing happens...

Ownice K6 SC9853
Hi! i bought an Ownice K6 SC9853 media but I completely stopped it, the image is normal but the interface is virtually inverted, I can't handle it normally. i want a hard reset but it won't restart, how is a total reboot possible?
Thanks!
Como podré reset en modo recovery para revivirlo se me a quedado frizado y no pasa del logo de Android
Help me please. With the Ownice K6 radio tape recorder, the device worked fine for 1.5 years, then it started. The problem is rebooted every minute and during the reboot the radio works and the volume is adjusted. Then a minute of normal work again reboots and so on in a circle.
What did I do for the solution:
1. flashed it with my native firmware. (which I received from the seller immediately after purchase)
2. I was flashing it with firmware from the seller SysSoftware_C960_K6_20200721.153132_OLS1 (I turned strangely after a year and a half and he sent a pistol the next day)
3. I was flashing the MCU) I also got it from him without any questions)
4. Installed a fan for cooling.
5. Disconnect everything from the radio except the power supply.
the result is the same reboot every minute.
can anyone come across a similar one or knows where to find a discussion of a similar problem.

How could be replaced the stock music app, with similar music user friendly/modded music app like in Hal9k's px5 rom have?
How could it be rooted?

nothing helped the result is the same every minute reboot. I do not know what to do. what is the minimum voltage required for the device to work? I get 11.58v on my device, I think it's not enough.

No, it's not enough, maybe you ave problems of battery. On mine, after U played about 3 hours with the HU in the car without start the engine, it beniged to shut down, I started and it shut down; after I understood the the battery was discharged.
Without 12,5 volts or more, it didn't work(and it's normal).

BMW E90 - CCC - with iDrive controller - Android 11 Head Unit 8GB RAM / 64GB ROM

Hello All,
I have an Android 11 head unit with 8GB RAM and 64GB ROM and I'd like to know if I find and firmware update for this. (I've attached some pictures)
As I read on the forum on some head units with an update the iDrive controller can be used in other apps. At this moment I only can use the iDrive controller on the original launcher. I tried with other launcher and it didn't work.
Could someone know what can I do?
Thanks,
This crap from AIDA does not help in any way.
This is no tablet.
Post the complete picture you posted incl the MCU and firmware... and someone may be able to help.
AIDA is useless.

I saw that topic, but I think there is an old version. Mine MCU, I think, is from 22.05.18, correct?

That does not really help. Aida is good for phone and tablet, CPU-Z if it runs... well...
I would install "Fake Device Test" and you would get all the needed information.

This is normal... If you live in EUR, the time difference to China is 6hrs. So if you wake up in the morning, they are near to go home.

...but you are not the one and only customer he has to care of. Be lucky that he answers. There are others which do not answer at all after the unit has arrived.

Hikity Android Head Unit

Hey guys. My partner has just purchased a second hand Hikity. I have installed it, factory reset it then connected it to my phones hot-spot to update all the apps.
The only problem we're having now is the damn thing ain't turning off when the ignition is off and I cannot find the canbus protocol for a Citroën Xsara Picasso.
I updated the firmware, everything is now in chinese and none of the google apps now work. Does anyone have the english firmware these things originally came with.
According to the information on the System Info section:
Model: F9212B
XY Auto: 7.3.7 (X2)
MCU 4.2 (X2)
CAN Pro: 9.0.2
Android 10
Posting here to see if anyone can help with these issues.

Any firmware update resets all settings and you need to set it first to your language in the settings.
Then you need to connect your unit again with the google account before using them.

When I updated the firmware, it added several chinese apps and the google apps do not work at all even after I set the language to english.

It's a second hand aftermarket stereo, bought through Facebook. He wouldn't know anything apart from installing it in to the vehicle.

Seems to be a quite special issue on your system.
May be wait for someone who is familiar with your special device.
In the mean time, you should have a look at this thread. May be you find something in there.
By the way: The not turning off issue is related to wrong installation. You need to check clamp 15 and clamp 30.
If you don´t have the right CAN-box you even won´t be able to get anything from the car.

It doesn't have a CAN-box, it does the CAN bus straight through the unit. What is clamp 15 and clamp 30?

I search the forum but nobody seems to have the stock firmware for my model of Android unit as its version is 7.3.7, I cannot downgrade it to a previous version.
Right OK. Finally got the correct firmware after many hours of using Google translate. It works to a certain degree but the physical buttons on the unit do not work at all. Any ideas on how I get them to work again.

There should be a page in the settings of the unit where you can set the physical buttons. Mostly hidden behind a special pin. You may ask in the related threads for your unit if you don´t know the pin already.
I've got in to that setting but when holding the correct buttons down, I keep getting study failed error.

I think you don´t have the right firmware for your unit then.
Then I'm stumped. I can get it in to recovery mode but with no physical unit buttons and the USB keyboard not being recognised I am unable to factory reset it completely. I'm struggling to locate the original Xyauto stock firmware it came with.
what password do you used for the factory settings?
