Help! Chinese Head unit is tripping - Android Head-Units

Hello everyone,
I have a problem:
Out of nowhere, my Head Unit turn the music to the max volume, the button response after a maximum of 10 seconds, then I can turn down the volume. Also sometime, if I press anywhere on the screen, the radio turns off or restarts.
think is something related to the software.
Is there any update for this headunit? i attach some photos of the MCU and system version.
I tried to find the device's name/model and updates, but without success. (I've tried already factory reset).
thanks in advance for thinking along.

Hi, try first disconnecting canbus box if you have it at all on this device. Then start up head unit without canbus and wait for 30 sec then shut down headunit and car engine.
Connect canbus again on the back.
Start in contact mode of car, and as soon as unit starts start tapping on center of screen with all five fingers. When reovery mode activated it will proceed automatically and finish. (procedure will erase data and install again!)
Then try if errors and bugs are fixed.

Hello, just an update. Unfortunately this trick doesn't work. Is there a software update for it?

Ask your seller for solution, probably will be or you must do complete install / flash of ROM memory and install again everything.

Xtrons D714A, screen doesn't working (software issue).

Hello guys!
I have Xtrons D714A with original ROM (4.4.4) and recently I installed Car Launcher on it. The next day when I powered up the unit again it showed a screen that I have to choose the default launcher for the unit. Anyway the problem is that the touch screen stopped working and I cannot choose anything. The strange thing is that the notification bar is working, I can even dial up the settings bar and enter in the menus, but once I enter there the touch screen does not work as well (it only works in the notification bar).
I tried to reset it trough the reset button but it only resets the settings, I need hard resset to erase Car Launcher. I also tried to turn on the unit while holding all kind of combinations of the hardware buttons but nothing happened - I think that the "power" button is not actually power button because when the unit was working the only thing it did is to get the unit in sleeping mode when I hold it.
I contacted Xtrons but no answer from them by now. Also I saw that I am not the first one with this problem :

Can someone help with this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Is there some script that I can upload on SD card and do a hard reset if I power up the unit with it? Or upload new ROM and install it from SD card by the same method, and if yes, can someone provide me ROM file?
@strballer try emailing Xtrons at: [email protected]. They usually reply within a day or two. They should send you a link with a firmware download as they did for my D717AL.
Thanks for your answer! I already contacted them and they suggested to turn off the main power for 15 minutes but as expected this done nothing but just reset the settings of the unit, not hard reset. Anyway I just managed to fix the problem. I connected USB keyboard and I was able then to dial the default home launcher. After that the touch screen was working again. Very strange bug...

They told me there´s no firmware available. Did you mange to have Android 6 on your xtrons D717AL? Since it is sold with this now as far as I read somewhere. I stuck on 5.0

Help with an android head unit. (MCU corrupted during winter storm)

Hello,
I bought an android head unit last year with android 6.0 marchmellow on it, however through-out the winter, the mcu became corrupted which caused all of the following issues.
* All factory apps besides the iGo navigation app instantly crash (no radio, music, bluetooth, etc..)
* Nothing can be triggered in the settings menu as it also instantly crashes as soon as you select anything.
* Side buttons no longer light up
* All side buttons no longer work, only the power and volume knob.
* A precious cd stuck in it due to eject not working (factory app).
After multiple times researching a bit here and there over the past few months, I've determined it to be a corrupted MCU.
Head unit is this one:
https (u know what goes here) www (dot) amazon (dot) com/gp/product/B071XXBD9S
"EinCar
Android 6.0 Marshmallow Car Stereo Double 2 Din 6.2 Inch Capacitive Touch Screen Car DVD Player In Dash GPS Navigation Bluetooth Support OBD2 WiFi Mirrorlink"
I can provide more info if needed just have to power it up. j
If I go into the settings menu and look at the about info, the MCU and a few other things are completely blank.
I need help figuring out how to root & flash it. It has a bunch of female end USB, and two micro usb slots.
I've tried doing it from a micro usb, by holding the reset and power buttons but the recovery boot screen gives no options, simply says its updating, then starts up staying the same.
I do have a laptop but have to buy a male to male usb to connect it.
Trying to flash what I think will work with it is called V7.3.2_20171116.202256_KED1-mod
I can access the play store app as well and install app from there which work, just not any factory ones will work.
Any help would be... super helpful

Need Recovery mode Avin Avant 4 Android 9.0 PX6 unit

Hi there,
After doing an upgrade my unit it stuck with a black screen and need to get into recovery mode in order to reload a working firmware.
Anyone any idea how to get there?
Tried the reset button for some time with and without home or on/off button and also removed the power source and pressed reset while putting power back but nothing seems to work
So i'm stuck for now :crying:
Any help?
Did you ever get your unit fixed? Did you try restarting with a USB plugged in with the firmware file on it?
No sorry... never got it working again. Had to send it back for a replacement unit.
I've been doing a lot of back and forth with their support on another issue and I've updated my MCU and software so many times now I thought maybe I'd be able to give you a hand.
Do you use any navigation apps on your Avant4? When I use ones that have voice navigation, the voice is getting truncated at the start and end of the directions. Some apps more than others and it seems to be related to those apps that use TTS (Text to Speech).
I'm using Waze via Android Auto. So i'm not having this problem.
So it runs from your phone and just displays on the Avant4? I have Waze running on the unit directly and it gets truncated.
I have al running on my phone and use a Android Auto box.
U can buy it from Avin USA. See website for all options on your Avant4.

If you hold the volume knob until it starts blinking then let go and hold it down again it will boot the unit into recovery mode.

A-Sure Android Head Unit - Help Needed Pleae!

Hello guys. I picked up an A-Sure 9" touch screen head unit to put into my MK5 GTi. I got it as it was local and only 50 euro. Tested it at home, workes perfect, couldn't reset the system due to a password but little bit of googling got me 3368 code which worked!
Today I spent a good while downloading Spotify, Google Maps etc. To the unit. Set it up in the car, all going well. I had to turn the car key on/off a couple of times and the unit booted with the usual VW logo however a message underneath that said something like "system not started 3 times fully, will self-test and restar automaticallt". Aaaaand that's where I am now, can't get anything else out of it ?? Any help is apprreciated. Managed to get some screen when I held the vol up+down buttons, said API Active:3 and Intel Sofia 6 I believe? The wait here and nothing again.
What did reseller suggest to try and resolve?

Allwinner T8 bootloop

I have an Allwinner T8 which had been working fine until yesterday. It's running stock firmware and unrooted. Yesterday coming home from work it started to boot loop. The radio would come on for a few seconds, then go off, the display constantly shoing the turning android.
I had hoped it was just hot as it was a very hot day, but was the same this morning. I've tried pressing the reset button to no avail, it just no longer plays a radio station as it's lost the stored stations.
I cannot seem to find a way to get into recovery mode, tried plugging in a USB keyboard and pressing "i" and CTRL-PrintScrn but nothing.
Can anyone offer any advice before it ends up as landfill?
I have the same problem with an Allwinner T8 team.
I have a 2016 jeep renegade sport plus. Supposedly the android team is a winca S300.
And it was in a loop, it does not start the system and it stays in the android logo.
I saw a way for the system to update itself.
1) the key must be connected - without starting - just making contact - power -
2) when the device reaches the android logo, it must be reset.
3) When the equipment is restarted, before the logo appears, the ignition key must be turned and removed.
4) After that, the start key must be reconnected. This should bring up an update banner.
The problem is finding that software, which should be previously installed on a flash drive.
Does anyone know how to get it?
