Hi,
I recently bought from a china website a star a2000 but the gps didn't worked so far, all other funcitons works fine but not the gps.
I entered in the factory mode by turning the phone pressing the buttons power + volume up. When I tested the gps I got the message gps failed! (-8).
The problem is that the phone never get the gps fix.
My colleague that bought the same phone bought the same device and when we tested the gps the issue was the same, gps failed! (-8)
We disassembled his device and in the back top of the phone where usually the devices have the gps hardware but there is nothing there.
If someone has faced an issue like this, or found an workaround, please share.

You must go outside, and wait aprox. 10 minutes. For me it worked!
Well Cristivsb, looks like you are the luck one that got the hardware inside your phone, mine a2000 so as my friend's a2000 have not gps hardware inside. I did a trip by car and put it in the console of the car with clear view of the sky, it took more than 2 hours to find satellites but nothing, that is the reason why my colleague openned his one and noticed the gps hardware was not there.
Does anyone has the same issue?
Thanks
Sorry to hear that. Can you please tell me, on the back of the phone package, it is written in English or in Chinese?
> aGPS settings > Select Profile = Google (not Nokia)
It depends which maufacturer you got it from. Looks like a lot of these Chinese manufacturers are cutting corners when putting these things together to either save money or to be able to sell them at a lower price.
There are some A2000's with capacitive screens instead of the resistive screens which is stated on the specs. And there are also some with larger capacities.
The GPS on my A2000 seems to work fine, just having some trouble with the wifi (it works, but only when it wants to) and the 3.5mm jack isn't giving stereo output.
A great phone nonetheless.
Do you mind saying where you got the phone from?
Well, I don't think it is good since mine is without god or capacitive screen. But the problem was the dealer, avoid to buy at chinabuye.com they don't care about customer complaints.
I fixed mine by replacing it by HTC Sensation, more expensive but really works.

I have the same problem!
My phone can't get an GPS fix. I tried it with the A-GPS Nokia server and the A-GPS Google server. I even tried 3rd party software.
Bought it one week ago from ebay, maybe the newer phones come without GPS hardware? I already contacted the seller, waiting for a response.
Star A2000
Hello everyone, i have Star A2000, it works great for me, wifi, gps etc are working... I want to ask is has anyone here know how to improve its performance especially in games? What about custom ROMS? Is it advisable to root this phone? i had read some articles that rooting can improve performance and battery life, can someone tell or teach me how or has someone done rooting A2000? is there a video tutorial about it??
Many thanks...
Nope, i've got a GPS receiver. But it's not very fast! A fake Sirfstar III gps module called: Sirf III. It's working
@jeymund.
I rooted my device today using: "Visionary-R14"
Use the search button on XDA and have fun.

EDIT: Ok, here is your link to download visionary: http://www.4shared.com/get/fJ_C7nEx/MoDaCo_Visionary_Plus_r14.html
1. Copy the file to the memory card of your mobile phone.
2. disconnect your phone from the PC.
3. Open file manager on your phone.
4. Go to your file and install it.
5. after installing, go to homecreen and open your menu.
6. Go to settings > applications > Development > and check "USB Debugging"
7. now again, go to homecreen and open your menu.
8. Open the visionary application in your menu.
9. Click on TEMP ROOT NOW and wait.. (Dont do anything)
10 after finishing, wait a few (10) seconds and click: "Attempt Permroot now" Now you'll see a massage. allow root acces, but within 8 seconds. (should take at least 30 sec's, but dont do anything!)
11. After auto-reboot, your phone is rooted.
is your phone also Star A2000? I'm afraid to do rooting because it might bricked the unit, what are the advantages or what have you noticed after you've rooted your A2000?
help plz
Hello, i have a qouestion, i got phone from chine, its look like replica of hTC,
i dont have any sw for him, i canot sync it with my computer because i dont have driver for usb
- i can say only that i have java , it is dual SIM mobile, 3MP kamera, FM, Bluetooth, wifii, touch screen,
on baterry and back case it writen that model is X9, but i search the web and there is no hTC model X9, i tray with chinaphonesuite, and a downloaded many driver but with no succes
so i need help plz, is there someone with similar problem !!!!!!??????
sorry for my bad english
I use Z4 for rooting A2000 and A1000 have had no problems, although some of the Mobile unlce tools (from china) do not see this as root, 99% of tools do like root explorer etc and I have had no problem - my only advice is make sure you always keep recovery or system partition working, never flash recovery then immediately install rom - always test check things out slowly so one partition can fix the other if needed.
Also the only difference between the A2000 and A1000 I know of is the touch screen A2k is resistive and A1k is capactive so the Roms will work on each other as far as I am aware but you need to keep your original kernel as that contains the driver for the touchscreen (the kernel is in the boot.ini file within the rom - so you can usually just swap the boo.ini over)
---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 AM ----------
You need to go to a site i am not yet allowed to post a link to, to get software google m44 mobile uncle - use a translator to read about your x9 phone, you will need to create an account (hit use bugmenot.com) as it took me a long time to even manage to log in - you need to open one browser tab translated and one normal (so links can be clicked)
- Can an admin please remove my restrictions, I know I am new - but I know more about these phones than just about any other english speaking person I have met and can offer some supoort, roms and tools for the star a1000, a2000 and maybe shed light on the X8, A3000 and A5000. Thanks

Hi guys I have a fix for this - I am currently posting to get my level up before I make a thread covering everything I know on these phones, the roms the recovery, rooting and fixes - keep an eye out!
a2000.......in china.....why I've never heard this device......

improved performance?
i m planning to buy a china android phone. i read a review the A2000 has sluggish performance. does EVERYTHING works? does flashing new rom and other updates can improve its performance.
How can I take the 'Android Phone' cover off?
@ Eduardo Logan:
Please tell me how you were able to get the bottom back cover off. The one with "Android Phone" printed on it. I don't like to use a lot of force trying to pull things like this apart.
I need to take my phone apart because I have shattered the glass plate between touch digitizer and LCD...
{edit}
I found somewhere that my A2000 is similar to the A1000, but with resistive touchscreen.
This video: http://youtu.be/8fu8W3HQtSQ shows how to disassemble the A1000, but also the A2000.
{edit}
Mine also doesn't have a GPS chip, however there is already a reserved parking place for it .
The funny thing is that mine without GPS was actually more expensive than the A2000 with GPS, because the box (and Focalprice) states that it has an AMOLED screen. It really is just an ordinary LCD, so don't get fooled!
Another question: I can't seem to find a way to make a complete NAND backup, which I like to do before I start to play with the wonderful tools of Byteshertz:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18046607#post18046607
I already installed Titanium backup, but it seems to make a backup of the apps. The recovery menu only seems to allow me to restore, but not to save a backup...
How did you guys do it?
BTW: I used z4root to root the phone, which worked flawlessly, the second time...
Thanks in advance,
Hans
Hi,
just wanted to add to this thread
I just got a A2000 phone, paid 111$ USD including shipping to Canada
the screen is resistive, 800x480 (image is very nice, touch is like other resistive so not really the best but very usable once you get the feel for it)
GPS works, locked on position in seconds !
it has an antenna for some kind of TV function but all I get is static, I don't think it works with DVB but not sure
the dual sim function looks likes you have two lines on one phones, you even have separate reception quality meters
the back as a nice little flip stand so you can rest it upright on a table
it came with two batteries 3.7v 1500 mah, you have to remove the battery to change the SIMs or the microsd card which is VERY annoying
for the price it is an excellent phone, especially a business that needs smartphones to every employee

Hello everyone,
just got my brand new shiny Streak. And man its something. Basically, everything I ever wanted from and now looking back at all the phones I had and other phones on the market I can`t keep wondering why in gods name would someone buy something else other than a 5" phone. 4-4.3" is good but 5" is just perfect.
So I made this upgrade from an Xperia X1 and never do I want to see WinMo in my life. But right now I have an ... android rush lol. Lots of info, apps, games. Its like an overload to try and understand everything and get use to everything. In a good way.
My first issue was with the car charger. Dell charges a lot as you already know. But I found an universal car charger for 7 pounds, that outputs 5V and 1A and i`m using the data cable to charge the phone in my car. No need for a holder just yet.
The pouch is good, but definately needs a proper case as its getting annoying sometimes to take it out all the time.
Got a few questions, regarding apps and games and such, if anyone here has more experience with android than me...
1. I`m planning to buy this (http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php) . Will it affect the screen brightness in any way ?
2. Currently using GoNews as my newsreader but I`m looking for a good working one that also has to option to search a website for RSS feed. The one i`m using at the moment gives me the option to import from a file or input the whole adress manually.
3. Gaming wise, I dont mind paying for games. And the ones i`d pay for would be a good RPG and an RTS. Currently thinking about buying ZENONIA, but I can`t seem to find any RTS games out there (StarCraft, Age of Empires, Command and Conquer). Not those games, but they are examples of gameplay i`m looking for.
4. Also looking for a game that works on Streak similar to Worms world party. Could have tanks or other things, but should work lol. Tried something Armored Lite or whatevr the name was but the graphics war very buggy and made gaming pretty impossible.
5. Dialer. Can it be changed ?
6. Email client. BEfore getting the phone, i was reading reviews and stuff. People said the email client sucked. At first I thought it was ok but god I was wrong. Can`t do anything besides reading the email. Could anyone recommend a better email client ?
7. How do I make it stop turning the display on and off while on a phonecall ?
8. What benefits would I have if I root it ? Not an android expert and not sure if I should give it a try or not.
9. 3g or Wi-Fi videochat. Are there any apps that do this ?
10. Last but not least hehe Navigation. Basically I think its great and considering I spend A LOT of time in my car and using a TomTom, I was thinking of replacing my satnav with my Streak. BUT, is the navigation software dependent on internet connection and gps ? As far as I saw, if my internet connection drops the navigation looses the map or something. Is there any android navigation app that is GPS only. Giving the 16 GB memory, I don`t mind downloading maps and such.
Thanks
I may not be able to answer all your questions, but i will do my best
1) No, it shouldn't affect the brightness much (maybe slightly). I've never owned an invisible shield, but i've heard very good things about them. The 'feel' of the screen will change, however.
2) Not sure, sorry
3) There are not that many good android games out there at the moment (not that look good on the streak at least). I'm not a big gamer though, so i can't really answer this question well
4) as above
5) Of course! there are numerous 3rd party diallers out there. Or, you can pull the dialler application from your phone and change the images if you want (requires root)
6) There's a nice e-mail client in the market called K9. It works perfectly.
7) The display only turns itself off when the sensor is covered (when you hold the phone to your ear), i believe that otherwise the screen stays active. If it does not, you can always change the 'screen time-out' in settings to 'Never Timeout'.
8) Rooting allows you to modify the system files. This means, like mentioned above, you can pull applications from your phone and modify the images. This means you can create and apply themes. You can also overclock your phones processor (not been done yet on this phone i don't think). There are countless other things you can do. Here's a good list- http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root
9) There aren't many video call apps, but if you search 'Movicha' in the market place there is an app called 'Live Mobile Video Chat' which apparently does the job. (no idea if it works on the streak though)
10) Good question, never really thought about this before. I've found a good (and more importantly, free!) app though, called 'TrekBuddy'. You download the maps prior to your journey and then it allows offline navigation. Not sure how well it works, but it's the best i can do!
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot. Still reading tons of android forums and websites.

Yes that is true and if you know where to look there is a not so legal one out there
I have the Invisible Shield and it works like a charm. No brightness effects at all. The only thing is that the shield for the back left and right is not cut very well, but the front ones and battery cover is great.

Hey guys, I'm not sure where to even post about this.
I ordered two of the Zero Z902 mini computers, since they're currently on sale at Asia Pads for $75 a pop.
http://www.asiapads.com/product_info.php?products_id=2291
The highlights:
-CPU is a 1.5 GHz Cortex-A8 "AllWinner A10" package.
-1GB of RAM
-4GB internal flash storage
-WiFi B/G/N onboard
-MicroSD slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage (pretty much standard)
-stock ROM is some sort of ICS
-Unit is freaking TINY, has a built in HDMI male plug on it, and can be powered off of USB. This means if you get lucky with your TV's port layouts and USB port voltage, you could just piggy back this guy onto the back of your TV and not have to run any cables to it.
The spec sheet on AsiaPads is a fairly amazing Engrish translation, but the company actually making the devices is somewhat reputable.
The Z902 appears to be their third or fourth generation of this type of device, and this one is supposedly pretty decent. Here's their site:
http://www.zero-devices.com/
It seems like this device could be pretty decent. My package of two was delivered today to my house. I'm writing this from the office. I wasn't able to find anyone talking about this device on XDA yet, so I figured I'd post about it.
If its awesome, or terrible, I'll post my OOBE and hacking experiments here
My primary use-case for this is a tiny & silent thing to attach to my TV and give me XBMC and NetFlix at a really good price.
I may test it out for use as an emulator if it doesn't immediately burst into flames when playing Avengers in 1080P
Hopefully if that happens I'll catch it on video...
I found a generic CM10 ROM for A10 tablets, so I'm hoping that with some help I can get CWM working on this device and then maybe custom ROMs? We'll see how terrible the stock ROM is.
From what I have, Zero Devices gives you a rooted device right out of the box, and "stock" Android should be pretty good I hope.
First update:
I was able to hook up one of the two Z902s I ordered to my TV without anything catching on fire or dying.
The device works and can put out 1080P video.
I was able to get the stock Market working as expected, and pretty much immediately installed YouTube, which works nicely.
The UI in general feels kinda slow / crappy, and I'm not sure what exactly to pin this on yet.
I am presently very new at operating Android via mouse & keyboard so its pretty awkward LOL
The stock ROM is honestly kinda terrible and, in its present form, basically useless to me.
BS Player plays everything in SW mode for some reason.
NetFlix will not install from the Market.
XBMC crashes at launch without generating any xbmc.log file.
In the Settings > Info, I see the "Neon" CPU feature listed, but I tested both the "Neon" and non-Neon builds.
I was able to get an SSH app installed and working.
What's weird is, there appears to be a su binary present, but SuperUser.apk I am used to using doesn't work.
I mean, I appear to be able to do "root" stuff, but never get any prompts to OK app access to root.
Also I am unable to remount /system as RW.
My next task is to get some form of ADB connection to the device working so I can further troubleshoot this.
I suspect I'm gonna have to modify boot.img to allow /system to be modified. We'll see.
I didn't have time to set up the device so I could SSH into it from work today, so can't make any progress until tonight.
Hey, DivinityCycle, thanks for your post. I have ordered the Z902 but still waiting. Glad to hear they are shipping. I am using an android 4.1 set top box which is a learning experience. Wireless mouse barely usable. I will come back here when I have anything on the Z902.
I just got my Z902 today. I found the same thing that you did regarding the root. Can mount system as writeable. I also found that MANY apps in the Market are not compatible with this device so they won't let me install them.
I'll be interested to hear what other people's experiences are.
You mean "can't" mount the system as writeable?
Honestly I have been busy with a lot of other stuff, so I haven't bothered messing with my Z902 yet, sort of hoping someone else will get root on it first. We also will need someone to get CWM or something equivalent ported before anything truly useful can be done.
Is it even possible to get ADB to this thing working via some sort of USB hookup?
oops. yeah. "cannot" mount.
It does seem you can do a usb hookup. There is some kind of utility (And driver maybe) on their website.
I downloaded an app called "Root Checker" but it just hangs when I click "Verify root access"
ADB is key to getting even a really basic root going, I think.
From what I have read elsewhere, the boot.img must be modified to allow us to remount / and /system as RW.
Post a link to the site, wouldja? I'm going on vacation starting on Friday, so I may actually find some time to work on this a bit.
update:
I installed another App called "Got Root?"
it checked and says:
Successfully located "su" (superuser) on device.
Successfully obtained root privileges through 'su'!!!
Successfully located BusyBox on the device.

Its A piece Of Crap. I bought one (Pre-ordered) from asiapads.com. The 4.04 Android OS is very unstable and slow. Device claims to be rooted by only one out of ten apps requiring root were able to run. OS has a built in SU hidden somewhere that does not require permission. Most apps requiring root are not granted permission Others like Titanium backup ARE able to get it. You cannot install your own SuperUser app either. It says you do not have root access. No custom Roms are available for the z902 yet so your stuck with stock. Also, large downer is no built in Bluetooth I have 15 different cheap USB Bluetooth dongles which none of them work after hours of tinkering. Must have 2.4g keyboard or mouse to control. Otherwise you have to plug in a mouse or keyboard manually (One at a time) into the one regular USB 2.0 port. After installing about 20 apps on the device the OS became very unstable with choppy mouse movement. I did not like this so i wanted to do a benchmark test. To be fair though i reset the OS to factory settings erasing everything. I got a scare here when doing the factory reset though. The OS would not boot back up. It instead got stuck in a booting loop. Loading the Zero devices welcome screen then The android loading screen. Then turn off loosing hdmi signal to the TV. A few seconds later the Zero devices Welcome screen would load and continuing this loop. After watching 8-9 loops, I gave up (A bit Mad that I even bought the piece of ****) and walked away. After playing on my phone for about 4 minutes the TV made noise drawing my attention. The OS finally loaded up correctly to the initial setup screen. Installed and ran Antutu Benchmark getting a very low score of 2200 (1.5 stars) and the CPU range was from 0.008-1.005 GHz When its claimed to have a 1.5GHz Cortex-A8. I tried to take screenshots of the results but all the screenshot apps required root and kept force closing. Overall I would highly NOT recommend this product. Instead buy a cheap phone or tablet with an hdmi output. Any of them would provide a better product than this UN-powerful PC Stick that is going in my junk drawer. BTW, my phone got a benchmark score of over 5000 and it also has a 1.5GHz processor.
Also it comes with a card that shows how its authentic and that you can check out its authentic on there website. But the websites checker does not seem to work. Whats the point..
I just received the z902 this week and I'm not unhappy with the purchase. I mean, I bought it to give some "intelligence" to an old TV and it is doing the trick.
I must confess I have only installed a couple of apps (MX Player, Youtube, ES File Explorer...), but it doesn't seem to behave slowly. I agree with the fact that I don't understand/like why can't I install some apps (e.g., Chrome).
Overall I'm happy with the device, taking into account that I just want it to play video and maybe surf the web. High def video plays perfectly fine, so I'm good. Despite everything, I hope in a neer future it will be possible to install CWM and then CM10.
BTW, if you don't want to spend money on a wireless keyboard/mouse, and have an Android tablet/smartphone, check DroidMote, for 1.99 is worth the value. In fact I think you can even install it for free if you go the dev's post here at XDA.

Maybe it is silly to ask, but did you connect it to the AC? Remember that HDMI is not giving the device any power so you have to connect it via the USB cable provided to the TV or to one plug with an adapter.
If that is not the case... post more details on how you connect it and maybe we can help.
There is also a reset button that does a hard reset.

I found out the hard way that the 902 needs a little extra power. After using a 600mA phone charger and a TV USB port and only getting half way through the boot sequence I changed to a 1A charger and viola!
Not sure if this is the same issue you've been having, but I thought I'd share it.

Did you try a >=1A charger?
(See my post above)
Tatting, that is a great find! I'm pretty sure my TV's USB port doesn't pack enough punch to run the stick at a full 1A, so that may explain my stability issues. I've been working on a ROM for my tablet, so haven't been focused too much on the stick PCs for now.
I AM learning some good tricks which may help in ROMing the stick eventually. The first / most important thing we need for this device to be more useful is CWM. I honestly don't know how feesible it is to port it to this device.
It seems like CWM mostly just needs to know how the store device partitions are laid out on the device, and in this case, probably needs to be patched for keyboard input. This device is kindof on my back-burner for now since I have a lot of other crap I'm working on and I just got notice that my Raspberry Pi has shipped, so I'll probably have it within 21 days. The Pi seems like it'll occupy much the same usecase as the 902, but without as much crappiness. We'll see!
Bigger power supply! It finally solved my problem. No Z902 boot with 500ma. Unstable with 700ma. I am going for greater than 800ma, Will overheating be the next nuisance?

so basically I've determined that although the device IS rooted, the system file system cannot be mounted as R/W. I've tried several different utilities and they've all come up with the same result.
I'm also frustrated in that I've contacted AsiaPads and have not received a response.
---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------
BTW, I'm using a 1amp power supply on mine. When it comes to amperate, a higher rating on the power supply is ok. The device will only pull the amperate that it needs.
I am using 1 amp supply and Z902 now works properly. Why didn't their support people say this?

Hey all!
First time posting here!
Have read alot of posts about SMDT, but no help on my problem.
So here it is:
I broke my Star x15i screen recently and bough a new one. New one is said to need a never pair on draivers. They gave those to me.
I followed exactly the guide (really hard to understand this Google Translate Chinese -> English thing).
Took battery out of device, connected DEVICE (Start x15i with replaced LCD)
Installed Cable drivers (MS Win 7 64bit), started 'sp multi-port download tool', Choose Data Source and DA file name. Also chose SCATTER file.
MainSensor NONE, Sub Sensor NONE. Lcd LP043LLYU04A.
Start all. Place battery inside phone
Then i hear this tõtõn (Device connected to Windows sound) and 2-3 seconds after that the other sound (device disconnected).
And then the numbers keeps going, but nothing is loading.
Since no outside image links, i made an attachment
Whats up damn it

Damn.. I really need this guys.. :S

Have read alot of posts about SMDT, but no help on my problem.
So here it is:
I broke my Star x15i screen recently and bough a new one. New one is said to need a never pair on draivers. They gave those to me.
I followed exactly the guide (really hard to understand this Google Translate Chinese -> English thing).
Took battery out of device, connected DEVICE (Start x15i with replaced LCD)
Installed Cable drivers (MS Win 7 64bit), started 'sp multi-port download tool', Choose Data Source and DA file name. Also chose SCATTER file.
MainSensor NONE, Sub Sensor NONE. Lcd LP043LLYU04A.
Start all. Place battery inside phone
Then i hear this tõtõn (Device connected to Windows sound) and 2-3 seconds after that the other sound (device disconnected).
And then the numbers keeps going, but nothing is loading.
Since no outside image links, i made an attachment
Whats up damn it

You need to click start (flashing) and then connect your phone. Then you will most likely see DA 100% and get an error just like i did. I just can't manage to flash new lcd driver on my MTK 6592 Star N9800 phone.
I purchased an android based car stereo a few months ago and am thinking about trying to cook a rom for it.
I am inexperienced in cooking, but am quite computer savy. Also am new to posting here, so if this is in the wrong area I apologize.
I know there isn't going to be much interest, but I thought maybe I would post some info here and see what I get. I think decks may be heading in this direction and some input would be great.
The only real downside so far to the unit is that it has a somewhat outdated os and boot time is that of a phone. So speeding up the boot time and upgrading the os would be top priority.
The deck is an Adayo AN6B01. Came stock with 2.2 froyo. I cannot post links being that I am new so here's the best I could do.

Honestly, I like it.
When running it stock with no extra stuff installed the boot time is bearable.
I just can't help, but wanna upgrade it.
System info
Here are some screen shots from the system info
Other Names for this Unit
Just to aggregate the names that I found for this same unit over the web:
ADAYO AN6B01
AIKON AK-010A
OttoNavi K1
Nakamichi NMMC-1300
Rydeen DV621
HiTV iDroid 8000
There's a good review from Nils Schneider at (t * co/qC7uy8Lk)
On my tests Gingerbreak 1.1 or 1.2 are not able to root the unit
The unit is great, it has some minor issues on Reverse Camera Mask that I´d like to correct on Camera.apk, but seems that without root I'll not be able to reinstall the modified application.
Another issue is the 3G modem compatibility. It´s not any modem that works with it... a good reason to root the unit and check some logs...
From my experience with a similar unit from Dynavin, everything is peachy until you try to add in support for the touch screen drivers which are closed source - or at least were on my unit. This is the only thing that has halted previous attempts to upgrade to a newer version of android.

K1 android
I have just ordered one of these units as a xmas prezzie from my wife..
the unit looks great , but being a rooted galaxy s3 user i am also very interested in being able to upgrade this unit
ill keep an eye on this forum and when i recieve my head unit , will post as much info as possible to try and help in any way i can
Good to see there is a thread about the radio. I wrote the review mentioned above some weeks ago.
How did you get this update to version 1.19? My dealer didn't inform me about any update. I'm just downloading and will try it out this weekend.
Hopefully I don't brick the unit, as my branding is Nakamichi.
Rooting the unit would be very nice.
I currently work on an app that listens to the iSteering events and translates them into regular media keys, a first test already succeeded.

I have a Huawei E160 here that works.
Hello Lyve,
I got my Nakamichi 1300 Android yesterday. I have made some program installations outside car and want to install it at Saturday. Do you have made the 1.19 update from K1 unit? Does it work and do you have found important chnages? Thanks for an answer.

Damn, so someone's already done it, eh? Making something like this has been on my mind for years now, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's already been made. I was thinking of using a nano-itx atom-based board and android on x86, but arm is so much better supported so that's good.
'Nuff about my idea, have you opened this unit up? Do you have the wifi adapter for it? I wonder if you can find any open ports by scanning that wifi adapter's IP. Maybe you could telnet to it lol. I see it has USB... do you have a USB serial dongle? There has to be some way to get an adb shell at least, I would think. I asked about opening it up because many embedded devices will have some headers on their mainboard for a serial or USB connection.
Cool stuff, let us know what else you find out about it and good luck.
Edit: I'm going to download the firmware update and see if I can find out anything from that... no promises though.
Hello tethrk,
WIFI adapter was included and works fine. I do not have opened the device because there are many warranty labels on it. I Paid 600€. When it gets defective, I do not want to have discussions with the dealer. I have no serial adapter for rooting the device, but I think this is a very interesting point. At the moment there is Android 2.2 on it. I found some apps who needs Android 4+ and can't run with 2.2. But anyway, I have installed yesterday in my car and it works really fine. One point is steering wheel control and hearing music when navigating. But I will try to make this working today. Google navigating and hearing music works, but Sygic and music not for example. Overall a nice expensive toy :laugh:
Best regards
Andreas
Apparently that download contains a system image, but the filesystem used is ubifs. This means that I have to use some mtd hack to mount the image. Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow.

Hi,
I have checked the content from update 1.19. My files on device are the same date. So I have it installed in radio. I hope there comes a new update soon which I get from my dealer. Especially when the rear cam switched back and the radio traffic system switched back, I have some problems. Nomrally it should switch back to previous used source, but it does not. For example after traffic message has finished, it switch back to AUX2 but not to source I have heard before.

arriving tommorow
Well after a long nightmare getting mine through customs, it seems it will finally be in my possession tomorrow, although I am going to have to wait for an auto electrician to install it.
As said , im not into taking this unit apart due to the cost and import nightmare, however I am up for trying to help as much as i can to get this thing rooted and upgraded to JB if at all possible..
Help please
deleted due to new post
some news???
Hello everybody.
is there any news regarding the rooting of this device? I did realize that the hard reset (menu+back+power) did not work (as well as the reset button). Its hard to take the chances without having the possibility to restore the head unit to factory standards if something go wrong...
mine head unit is the AIKON AK-010a by the way.
The system seams really secured, there is no possibility even to change the dock apps. ;(
looking forward for some news.
everybody quit???
Hi guys,
lets put this thread back to live. I did find a way to receive the update data from the adayo an6b01.
Considering I do have an AIKON I would like to know how are my chances to brick the device going through the update.
I verify that some of my apks are "foryou" which are the same from the adayo.
Any tips?
Hi, I've had this unit for a few months now and I was able to root it using the z4root app that is available on the pay store. I haven't really done anything fancy except backup the files using titanium backup. I'm using the Adayo version by the way.
I too have just managed to root my device with z4 ...
I am currently working on a better launcher solution using " home simple " as a base and modifying it
Ill try and get some screens and post some stuff up tommorow...
Im really pleased this has rooted ok... now its time to mod the hell out of it
I purchased an Enco B046 Android-powered head unit for my car, and there are some things I'd love to be able to fix, if I could somehow acquire root access. Most importantly, the GPS functionality. Here's what I know about it:
1. It's a Telechips TCC8925
2. It only has one USB port (Female-A), and it appears to be Host-only. Hooking up a Male-A to Male-A cable between it and a PC, the PC doesn't detect anything on the other end. Hooking up an OTG cable between it and another Android device, the Enco B046 tries to mount the other Android as mass storage..
3. It's running ICS (4.0.4)
4. There's no pinout on the board for another USB port, nor any other pins that are giving +5vdc
5. It does have an SD slot and a card in it. It mounts and works fine.
It's relatively similar in size and form to this:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/36988-cx-01-cortex-a5/
Since I can't connect to it via USB and control it with ADB, that eliminates all of the ways to root the device that I have come across.
The most important thing that I need to do is to update the framework.jar, as it suffers from an incorrect GetSpeed function that throws off pretty much every GPS application. It's calculating my land speed at 1.852% of the actual speed. I have fixed the error, and repackaged the framework.jar, but to updated it, alas, I need root access.
It's a shot in the dark, but without some sort of physical connectivity, I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas how I might acquire root on this thing, via software only? Or other ideas as to how I might be able to connect to it?
Thanks!
After further examination, the board has one button on it. If I hold it down during bootup, it goes to a black screen, but a red LED light stays on solid on the board. Generally, that light flashes. I'm wondering if that button doesn't enable FWDN, or Fastboot mode. Maybe that's the ticket.
Hi my friend! Any news?

No news yet. I do think I've figured out how to get into FWDN mode, so I should be able to take a complete backup of the NAND, etc. That doesn't do me a whole lot of good, though, since I don't think you can inject something into an FWDN image.
I suppose I could try to recompile it completely from source, but I'm not sure what all drivers are compiled into the current system, and have no experience doing anything of that nature with Android before.
I wish there were a magic "root" apk I could install, and be done with it!

As usual if we push hard enough and make enough noise on the forums we'll get there, if Charles has to refund every paypal customer because the GPS is crap....he'll find a way to get us root, it's as simple as that
Found this, I don't know if it can help but perhaps the guys who are playing with it can help you....
http://www.cnx-software.com/tag/telechips/
I think the button on the board may actually put it into FWDN mode, but the USB port configuration doesn't seem to allow the board to act in Device-Mode in any way. If you power it on while holding down the button, it seems to do something. The screen shows "NO SIGNAL" which is what would happen if it goes into FWDN mode. But, I can't get anything to communicate with it. It doesn't show up in device manager at all, on multiple PCs.
Looks like for now, our only hope is for someone to create an APK that somehow magically roots the thing. I'll go ahead and hold my breath.

Sure did just rooted my car stereo... had to update the Superuser app and a few others...... next task is to figure out what tweaks to build.prop i need to get all apps in play store.... especially the google apps.
FYI - after applying the update the screen flickered on the boot up. I reset the device (power cycled via the reset button) and then powered it back on and all is good!
I may be able to post some screen shots in a little bit if you like.....
Car stereo..... as in Enco B046 ?
Screenshots.......Enjoy

WHOA!!! That bad boy is $800 now I only payed $378 shipped
For which car was it ? Because 800 is a bit expensive, we're at 450-500 for a BMW unit, look at www.szenco.com
Thanks a lot for the link anyway, I'll try that tonight....

Well, because of you it can be rooted now so the price went up the ceiling
I bought it to use in a 2005 Ford F-150
If you can pay for the gas you can pay 800 for the stereo

This is awesome, thank you very much! Going to try it tonight.
Any luck with build.prop?
Have you guys experienced of the following problems(before rooting)?
-SD Card error message(not related to external microsd)
-Some apps installs but then give a "no sd card present" error
-Google Nav: works for a short while then all you get is "searching for GPS"
