"AN-21 U" - Unbranded 6.2" 2 DIN 4.4.2 Car Tried rooting now lost BT and WIFI HELP
I tried rooting my device using BAIDU root, now lost bluetooth and wifi and didnt root. HELP!
Android Version 4.4.2
MCU version 4.3.11.1-11-50-454101
Also tried factory reset using the 7890 password but it loops forever. After a couple hours it still doing the factory reset until I turn it off and back on with no changes.
If someone can tell me how can I effectively factory reset this unit I would really appreciate it. Mine has no home button.
Cant get in the fastboot mode either.
I tried pressing the reset button with the power button and it tries to update but nothing else.
Hi!
Excactly same issue here.
Don't know exactly if my equipment is an AN-21 or a variation of. But passwords are the same (7890, 123456 and [email protected]w-desktop) and kind of version it could be. No visual signs outside of the equipment.
Only difference is that has a RK3066 processor.
MCU version: 4.3.10-11-10-450101
System version: 2.9.4_20150316
DVD Version: 2.13.13.1-860mc
Also factory reset didn't work. Re-choosing MCU version inside extra settings didn't work too.
Last resort if there is no answer is try to do image update with same of the Huifei. Seeing the kind of update on the extra settings it appears to be compatible cos has sepperated mcu and firmware updates.
Configuration of the bluetooth is lost, I mean name, pin, etc. and if is not stored when I reconfigure.
The WiFi detects SSID networks, for example WiFI zone of my phone, but doesn't connect with any on the proccess of adquiring IP address saying poor connection quality (not checked on config avoid bad connections).
Waiting for any help before raising the axe!
More info that may help:
Managed to install a system info app. Confirm that my proccessor is an Cortex A9 so it's a variation of AN-21 but 7''.
On About device says android 4.4.2 but the app says 4.2
Hardware appears to function ok and all function managed by mcu,. cos radio, music, GPS, are perfect, my phone connect via bluetooth with the device ok , but on device screen there is nothing detected, perhaps some part of firmware corrupted on rooting proccess.
Wifi has same problem, it detect even weak signas as I drive on street, but can't connect, perhaps same comunication problem.
It seems that is a problem reading and writing parameters, not a hardware failure.
I believe that a reflash of the firmware must solve the problem. But I can't find same release. Perhaps a downgrade is only way to solve the problem by now, my doubt is if the proccess of flashing erase contents (format partitions) for the case any actual file may conflict with the downgrade version.
Still waiting any word of wisdom....
Solved!!!
As I supossed, the problem was some corruption of files, not hardware.
Re-flashed with version 2.9.5 and everything it's working perfect!!!!!!!
No needed to reflash mcu.
So you are my only hope to solve this too

The combination of, from being power-down, reset+power, release reset, 2 seconds, release power, works for me.
Did you tried using the option firmware update from the general settings submenu?
One more thing, reset to factory now also works and it takes only seconds!!!
For the firmware version I downloaded from here
4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t522762.html (sorry I don't have the sufficient posts to be enable to post urls )
If you do not know rumanian, copy and paste the whole url on google and on the find list use option translate. It is not perfect but works for me
Thank you

Your solution worked perfect. Although the display is different now, (not sure if its an upgrade or downgrade) it solved the problem. Im able to connect wifi and bluetooth again!
No back to the original reason for trying to root it was because I wanted to connect a modem and the app for this is for rooted devices.
Any ideas?

Perhaps you downloaded another vendor version, at least I read there are 3 different customisations. Mine is that with the snow and trees background image.
I just terminate tests of rooting. With Baidu 2001 no problem at all, no further corruption of wifi or BT, it has the ability to root. But root is missing on reboot. Have to investigate a little.
Regards.
Where you able to root it successfully?
Im scared now to loose wifi and bt again.

Nahhh, once you know it's not hardware problem, know how to reflash, have the firmware, there's no problem. Always can start over and over.
I will write down the phrase I have on the car forum I modereate, it is in spanish, but can be translated with easy.
"La categoría de vencido sólo se alcanza después de haber luchado y es lo que distingue del desertor y del cobarde"
Good Luck!!!
Getting Closer.
I came across with this feed from the site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Tonghai_Create_AN-21_U#For_Software_Versions_2.7.38_and_up
And is very specify about which app to use depending on the system version. Using the one indicated there, was able to root too, but lost it at reboot .
I thought to share it with you because there were more tips you may find useful.

More info my friend.
Not yet all the work but with good news.
I was reading some posts across the universe, and decided to to this:
1 - format the equipment completly. This is done with a special firmware called fullformat (fullformat.rar on the repository I mentioned to you some posts above)
2 - flash the version 2.8.8 (2.8.8_TT_preroot.zip on repository)
3 - install and run Baiduroot_2001.apk inside the zip 2.8.8
rooted effectively.
3 - install CWM SuperUser.apk inside the zip 2.8.8
runn supersu, update binary (normal install) when Baidu ask for root access (is easy to recognize cos has a counter decrementing on option)
4 - reboot
5 - install rootchecker from play store.
6 - run rootchecker and agree supersu asking permission of root.
7 - uninstall baidu
8 - reboot
9 - re check root with rootchecker and voila, root doesn't dissappear.
Now I am at this point. Very happy indeed. For the time here 22:00hs (I don t know were you live, here is Argentina).
Tomorrow
10 - update firmware with last version 2.9.5 and check for root not lost.
11 - if root lost -> goto 1 and stop on step 9 untill more information to root last version.
Bye!!!!!

Ok, Just go to point 9.
The only firmware that stays rooted is that 2.8.8 permroot thay I downloaded.
With that firmware also works "ppp widget" (version obsolete of widget, not ver 2) with a Huawei 176 dongle.
Bye.
OK now rooted with version 2.9.5!!!!

Thank you for valuable information. I was able to perm root using the previous method and then upgraded to 2.9.5 and tried to perm root using the latest method but when I try to access gocsdk file, inside the sys/bin folder is empty, which suggests me that the temp root is not working although baidu messages ok.
Any suggestions?

Use "RootChecker" for checking rooting process.
I have this problem at first using X-plore as a file explorer with no root access, al directories with no permissions are shown as empty.
I've redone all the process this weekend directly flashing the format firmware, then a fresh 2.9.5, and root whith the process of the post
baidu
move gocsdk to gocsdk.bin
create gocsdk as indicated
install supersu
reboot
check root with rootchecker
remove baidu
reboot
check root with rootchecker
And worked again with a fresh 2.9.5.
I installed an Eonon GA5153F the other day and I can't seem to figure out what MCU it is compatible with. From Eonon it comes with MCU: MTCB-ZD v2.68. I know the GA5153 is compatible with KLD but this one has that F at the end of the model number. Can I just install a pre rooted rom without messing with the MCU (flash only the rom and not the MCU)? I really want to install Malaysk's rom and have all that rooted goodness.
has anyone successfully installed Malaysk's rom on the GA5153F yet?
Hi I have a eonon I used this thread and its all ok its running KitKat 4.4.4

Any update on this?
Have the same HU (Eonon GA5153F) and want to install a custom ROM and TWRP recovery, but can't find anything relevant to 'ZD' MCU.
I too have just installed the GA5153F in my car and while it's a good unit, I'd love root to be able to do a little more with it. Like yours, mine says ZD 2.68 and having only had it installed for a few hours, I'm nervous about flashing something that could brick it immediately!
Looking forward to hopefully getting some more information on this one soon
Just found the thread that tells you the access code you use in Factory Settings that gives you root - *#hct#root#
Think I'm gonna start there and see how it progresses..
You get root with that code, then you can install SuperSU from Play store and update su binaries (before restarting). Then you have fulltime root (tested).
Waiting for TWRP to do a nandroid backup before messing more with the system...
hi there, did you flashed any rom yet? i would love to have 2gb space for app...Malaysk's (mmm )i do have the same unit, ive rooted, installed xposed and a few modules, everything is ok till now!...
Upd - i did flashed Malaysk's ROM And all went fine much much better now!
You flashed the ROM from here http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/cont...k/Malaysk Quadcore RK3188/800x480/09.09.2015/ without messing with MCU?
Did you change CAN-BUS settings or did they work out of the box (the default is VW simple if I remember correctly)?
no, was update_4_4_4_800X480_8_RK3188_MAL_19_10_2015 found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3246370

maybe you have to change the bt(bluethooth), from 6 to 5 on factory settings
well i can tell you it worth flash this rom.....from 10 to 100% better

Yeah, eventually I found the thread after some digging, and found there is this updated ROM version which is not on the server.
Now I have to find the time to try it
i have a MTCB-ZD-V2.81 what could it be? is a Eonon GA5163F
Maybe...its for mazda?....same specs i think!
yeah mines for mazda
I've got a GA5163F (for Mazda) as well and I have the MTCB-ZD-V2.81 MCU. How did you guys go about flashing Malaysk's ROM? I'm trying to follow the thread but I'm a little confused.

i got it to install on mine. you can go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3246370 for the latest firmware.
then RK3188 800x480
download the latest and extract it. from there it should have instructions on what to do.
if not put the "update.img" on the root of sd or usb (fat32), plug it in and enter recovery,
-To get into the Recovery Menu:
-Use a paper-clip and press and hold the RES button by the eject button for 3 seconds.
-Keep the RES button pressed and hold the power button for 3 seconds.
-Release the RES button, keep power button pressed
-Release the power button once the lights turn on.
Flashing the rom:
Malaysk Rom Only:
1. Wipe all the data/factory and cache reset.
Note: This will erase the flash memory and give 2 gb of instead of the 1 gb of factory application installation memory using the Malaysk Rom.
It will also delete the factory rom. No going back.
2. Update system/mcu image from usb.

Thank you so much! That's quite extensive and helpful. So I'm downloading (update_4_4_4_800X480_RK3188_10_MAL_11_12_2015.rar) and I see there's a READ ME.doc and update.img in it. I'm assuming the read me will have the instructions and the update.img is essentially the ROM? I'm familiar with flashing roms on my phones but I'm used to seeing ROMs in .ZIP formats.
Did you do a back up of any sort? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.. thanks!
I have a Moto x pure, apparently the person I bought it from had it rooted and installed TWRP. He said he unrooted the phone or something before he sold it. I installe some app that said it was not rooted. Anyway, it will not let me do any updates or get the ota nougat update. Also when I do a factory reset and the phone restarts it comes back on all the same if all my stuff and there is some type of moto speach access software that randomly calls people or just responds to TV/radio in the background, cant figure out how to turn this off. I know nothing about rooting, using twrp or anything, just know basic android functionality. Awhile ago I googled some stuff and tried to remove twrp and install the factory recovery or something, but that didn't work. So I am looking for any help to get rid of twrp and reload the stock software or the newest version of android in the easiest may possible as know next to nothin on this stuff and very little about pc software, I would much rather just have the stock setup and not have to learn how to load stuff through twrp, root , etc Just need basic functionality. The main things that I do not like about the twrp being installd and the boot load being unlocked is that it will not update and constatntly comes up with reminders for updates,also I cannot open anything i google that is an ad or top listing(guess it is sometype of ad blocking) I am really sick of clicking on stuff at the top of google searches and having it not load. Please help I like this phone, but I am ready to take a hammer to it. thdx
Probably you still have twrp recovery.
Power off, vol - power, select recovery mode - power.
Into twrp - format data/factory reset, reboot.

It would be helpful if you could tell us which build version you are currently on. Go to "Settings", "About phone", and look for your Build Verson. This will let us know what options are available to you.

thx, adroid 6.0, build number MPHS24.49-18-4 baseban M8992_1255331.29.01.88.02R SUPER_NA
System version 24.221.4.clark_retus.retus.en.US retus
Kernel version 3.10.84-perf-g329ac5f

notsure if all that is needed. It does have the twrp installed and I really just want that off the phone and the stock software installed. I have no plans of learning the twrp, rooting, etc.
The phone also seems to run pretty hot and occasionaly the screen will bug out and look like it is going out, but is fine after I power cycle the phone.
Any further help is appreciated. THX

thx for the links. I do have twrp installed still, version 3.0.2-0, the home screen shows install, backup, mount, advanced, wipe, restore, settings, and reboot. If I click on reboot, then recovery it goes to the start screen(looks like dos mode with the graphic of an andriod guy ) from there if I press start it just starts up and from what I can tell it is all the same as before.
Really what I want is twrp off the phone, stock software, and be able to get OTA updates, etc in future. I have no desire to tinker with the software. thx
Don't remove twrp.
Reboot to twrp, wipe, do factory reset/format data. Reboot. @daleboot
Or flash the newest stock as in 1st link I gave.

Well, I think based on the information you gave with your Build Version and all, I think you can install the original firmware image to restore completely to stock. This is the only way to get back to stock to take future OTAs. Just so you know, as of this time, unless something has changed there is no OTA update available to Nougat for the Moto X Pure XT1575 US version.
Hello to all,
first of all sorry for my English, i'm using google translate, I do not know if you can help me here.
I bought this jewel from Gearbest and arrived yesterday.
I would like to unlock the bootloader and root it following this wonderful guide , but I can not get into developer options, I get the error "the settings application crashed abnormally"
I wanted to do this via the toolkit, but in EDL mode the phone is not recognized, maybe because in developer options I have to select the OEM UNLOCK.
The only good thing is that it recognizes usb debugging mode (at least I think) because I see the debug notification icon.
I can not understand where it came from, I went into bootloader mode but did not release me information.
From the onscreen screen I can only provide these info:
model number zte a2017g
version android 6.0.1
kernel version 3.18.20
build number zte a2017gv1.0.0b11
baseband version th.2.0.c1.9-00050-m8996faaaanazm
The MiFlavor version is 4.0
The smartphone does not receive OTA updates. I downloaded the global version (b05) of Nougat, the update with Android started I did not find it (I renamed the rom file in update.zip and put in the root of the SD CARD). I tried through recovery mode but it does not do anything to me, it's as if the smartphone was locked in everything and for everything.
I'm doing well ? How do I update when I download the rom? Can you please help me? Is there any system to interact with this smartphone and unlock it? I do not want to keep a phone that I can not update and root it.
Thanks in advance to who will help.
UPDATE:
I tried to manually install the downloaded ROM, but in recovery mode it does not flash the new rom ... the phone does not even try it !!!
It's as if the phone was locked in everything and I only have to keep the installed rom.
Some idea ?

Hey I would recommend clearing the data for settings if you can. To do this go to your launcher, find the settings icon and either drag or hold down or do whatever it takes to get to the app info. I haven't used stock in a long time so idk. But then go into storage and clear data. Then go and try again.
I do have one question though. How did you get usb adb debugging enabled if you didn't get into developer options at all?
For the second half of your question you won't be able to flash anything without first unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP onto the device. For the devices recovery idk which one you meant, but it needs to be TWRP. Good luck!

Thanks to my friend, without doing anything, suddenly, he made me enter the developer options menu.
I've been able to do the rest.
Now I have the phone with unlocked bootloader, root and TWRP installed.
Do not ask me how I got the debug without going into the menu, I could not answer you ... it will remain a mystery !!!
I take advantage of your availability: can I flash the zip of the official ROM through TWRP? Or is there a risk that the phone goes into brick mode?

What rom are you trying to install? Usually you will be absolutely fine.

You can't flash an official zip through TWRP, it will just fail. No brick.
Edit: didn't read OP lol. If you want to update, you have to flash the stock recovery (there are stock recovery flashable zips on the Download Center) then install the update, then get TWRP again. Or you can install a custom ROM (I recommend one based on stock MiFavor 5.0, I think that the best one is ADM Team V3 (the one that's not based on B13), this way you can simply download, flash in TWRP, and you'll be done

Thanks mate !!
I installed the rom that you suggested to me, I find it very good, but this phone has very poor support (MiFavor).

Very poor support? It's going to get Android O, and it's got at least 1 update per month (officially). It's unclear whether that ROM you installed will be updated since it's based on an older version, but the latest (B13) breaks a bunch of stuff like Google Play Games, Maps, the GPS works awfully...

No no ... do not get me wrong.
My reference is to rom, MiFlavor is really bad. I come from 3 Xiaomi smartphones and I can assure you is another world.
The smartphone is really nice and well balanced (apart from the just enough battery) and I would replenish it a thousand times. :fingers-crossed::good:
Hello all,
After 5 hours searching and almost done, it seems like the phone won against me...
I have a friend who has his device under Android5, latest version, and need at least Android 6 to update his bank app, which required this update to work normally.
The worst part here, is that the device has the down volume button not working anymore (at all)
I wa a little rusty because I moved two years ago to iOS, but I have some memories with my old samsung and Nexus 6 flashing.
So here's what I've tried so far, I can forgot to mention some stuff because it's been a long work lol
So I have a 1GB SD Card and my indows 10 computer.
- I started to download and install all ADB and fastboot drivers.
- I've activated Debugged mod and OEM Unlock. I couldn't find if the bootloader is allowed for unlock or not, because the command didn't work. So I supposed that yes, it is. The device is the J3 SM-J320FN bought in France, new.
ADB work perfectly, but I didnt manage to get the device recognsied with the Fastboot mode. "ADB Devices" list the phone, but fastboot devices command does not show anything, it goes back to another line.
My friend didn't mentionned that he has installed a recovery. I don't know how, but the recovery is very basic. Here's a photo of the recovery screen. It appear when i press Vol+, home and power button, but I can't move anywehre because of the low volume button not working. Vol-, home and power doesn't work for the Download mode.
I finally managed to enter in download mode by using the command ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD. With that, I honestly don't remember how I did it, but I think I've flashed a file which allow me to root the device from ODIN. With this, I've got confirmation of Root Checker app that the device is now rooted.
I've passed many hours to make some tests here and there, but nothing gave me a real result. Then I found two apps : ROM Manager and Flashfire.
ROM Manager : The app says that it doesn't find Superuser in System/bin/su. So it's like the device is not rooted. Nothing seems to work on the app too.
Flashfire : It seems like this app can do the job, but I can't finalize the process. So I've changed the year of the phone to 2013 to get the app running, I've tried a wipe, and here... Yahoooo ! A big Loading screen with many line codes, and then... nothing. My computer make the sound to say that it recognised the device, and a full blackscreen for 10mn. Exactly same process if I try to flash a ROM, or whatever action (even doing a backup).
I suppose it's because the app wasnt granted the root permissions. Not sure, because even if the phone seems to have the root status, I never get any pop up to ask if I allow to get the permission or not. I've tried to dwnload the APK for SuperSU app or something, and nothing seems to work.
So now, It looks like i'm close, but I also think that there is nothing more to do.
The device is powering on, with all its data, and seems rooted, but I can't do anything. It seems like the recovery is the only option to go trough the install.
So you guys, do you have any ideas of what can I do ?
I'd like to install LineageOS, but any ROM with Android 6.0 min. will be fine for me.
Also, pardon my english. I'm french lol
Thank you for your help..!

So why not just install Marshmallow with Odin?
After that install TWRP the same way?
Is it possible ?
I though that only installing custom rom will allow the phone to go beyond 5.1. Because the phone can’t find any update on OTA.
So if I download the correct file, flashing it should work ?
Thanks for the answer

I assumed the J320 had received the MM update. However it seems not.
In that case custom is the only way. For that you will need to install twrp with Odin.
Exactly what I though yesterday. I will call him to see what can I do.
So the latest versions of TWRP are compatible with the touch screen, and then the volume down button isn’t required to process ? After the recovery installed, I will be able to find the zip of the custom rom and install it right ?
Thank you again

Twrp is touch driven so no need for hard keys.
The only issue is that you need to reboot immediately into recovery mode after flashing twrp.
As down isn't working you will need to leave auto reboot enabled and catch it at the right moment to boot to recovery as it reboots.
Excellent. I will try that and will let you know. Thank you
