Bricked Head Unit RK3188 - Please Help - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

I recently upgraded to the eonon GA6151 and was trying to flash update_RK3188_1024x600.img " booroondook RK3188" , well I renamed the file wrong to dupate.img instead of update.img I started flashing it and it was too late before I realized. Now the unit will not boot up or go to recovery. I can reset it and see the buttons flash like it wants to go to recovery but nothing ever appears on the screen. Is there a way to adb into this unit? Can I put files on a card and have it auto install them? Any help would be appreciated.

FIXED IT!!
I fixed it using this method. I realized after the fact that this new unit is MTCD not MTCB.

I then had the error

Which I fixed doing this

I used the dupdate from here.
http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/firmware/MTCD Custom ROMS - NOT FOR MTC-/RK3188/2017.02.21/
I loaded it onto the sdcard and the usb drive , the sdcard was created using upgrade disk tool and has to be 16gb or smaller fat 32. The usb drive just had a copy of the dupate.img file on the root of it.
To get into recovery on this unit do the below. http://www.eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/Vehicle-Specific-GPS/GA6151.html
Press and Hold HOME AND POWER buttons
Press RESET while still holding HOME AND POWER
Let go of HOME AND POWER and then press HOME AND POWER down again and hold until the lights flash 3 times " is about 10 seconds to hold them "
Now Let Go of the HOME button then the POWER button the press the POWER button once "do not hold" and wait for it to boot into recovery.
This is the only method I found that reliably will get you into recovery. Make sure you use the GPS slot for any sd stuff you need to do in recovery.

Did you have to take the unit out of the car? I’ve made the bootable SD but nothing is happening.

[Q] I have flashed chinese MIUI Desire_2.4.13 ROM

I have registered my account to ask this question. I have been flashing roms since I bought desire a month ago. But this time I flashed the chinese version of MIUI rom from their official website. They didn't even mentioned on their site that this is Chinese and official version of the rom.
My question is, how can I connect my USB cable to connect to the computer and then copy some other rom to my memory card. ( I don't have memory card reader/adapter). I tried to connect it but it's showing charging icon on the status bar, I then tap on that icon and there were some on/off options I tried to change them in both states but the device is still not connecting to the computer in USB mode. I am bit afraid because I am experiencing this strange problem that I haven't found fix on the net.
P.S: Sorry for my English and please reply urgently I can't even use my phone with this chinese version.
Why don't you just go to recovery (just power off phone and then while holding volume down press and hold power) and mount sdcard from there?

I have to connect my phone with pc, so I can put another rom on the sd card and then flash it. Is it possible to do this via recovery? If yes please guide me how do this.
Thanks
Yes, it is possible... Like i said, turn off your phone (if you're not sure how take the battery out and put it back again), then while holding the volume down button on the side of the phone press and hold power button... Phone should turn on, screen should be white with phone info on the top and Norad skating at the bottom of the screen - this is called bootloader... After several seconds some check-ups should be done and you should be able to move through menu by pressing volume up and down... Navigate to recovery and press power button to select it... Now the screen should change and you should be taken to recovery whichever you have installed... From there you can either restore a nandroid backup if you previously made it or toggle usb/mount usb or whatever it says and while in that menu connecting phone you should be able to access sdcard... if there is something you can't follow ask...

Thank you so much, I use the option Mount USB storage and put my rom on the card and I have finally come back to some English rom. Thanks it worked.

internal format problems-SOLVED

So i formatted my internal storage before a fresh install, which has sent my phone into a bootloop. I've pulled my battery and manually tried to boot into twrp and the blue "TWRP" screen comes up for about 3 seconds and then i'm back to bootlooping. I have the mjb bootloader or I would odin back to stock. download mode does work, and i tried to reflash my recovery which did pass via odin, but I get the same results. Any help would be great
First don't double post. Second press volume button up, home button then power. When phone vibrate let power button go and keep holding other two anthill phone get to recovery mode.
Type from KitKat bar.

You need a Windows PC, I suggest getting minimal ADB from this XDA post.

Need help using CWM to recover data

So my screen blacked out and I would like to attempt and retrieve the information off of my phone. I have an idea to use the CWM I have installed on my phone and from there mount it. But since I cannot see the screen, I was hoping somebody could tell me the number of presses of each button so I can mount it. Thanks!

not sure if cwm will help, but twrp 3 will definitely help, i want you to boot into download mode and flash twrp 3 using Odin, and then boot into recovery.
TWRP 3 has MTP enabled by default, so when you're in TWRP and connected your phone to PC, you will see your phone on PC and will be able to copy anything you want.
also you can use adb pull commands but it requires usb debugging on in your rom.

yes, you will do it blindly, but it's not hard.
you press power + home + volume down for 3 seconds, then press volume up, and connect your phone to PC, then flash the TWRP 3 using Odin,after the flash is done, remove battery, and insert again, then hold the power + home + volume up for 4 seconds, the release the power and keep holding the other 3 buttons for another 3 seconds then release, by now it should be in recovery mode, now connect to PC and you should see your phone and all its content.

good question.
he can't do it in two cases:
1- if he is using android 6.0+
2- if he is using a password, PIN or a pattern in his lock screen.
i believe he should have tried your suggestion already, it would be a shame if he didn't because it's an Obvious thing.
however, i should have mentioned that as well...

N7100 boot stuck

Hello.
I own a Note II which lately seemed to have some problems.
In the last few months, it used to restart somewhat spontaneously (it seemed that it rebooted when its processor or RAM were too busy, but this wasn't a rule). During one night it probably rebooted and next morning I found it stuck on the first boot screen (the one with "Samsung Galaxy Note II").
When stuck on the boot screen, if I press the power button for a few seconds, it turns off. If closed, it gets to the boot screen and gets stuck there when I press the power button. When plugged to power, it gets stuck at the screen with the empty battery that has a loading icon in the middle.
I manage however to get it into recovery mode, however, in this situation, it can't be seen by the PC, unless I put it in adb sideload mode. When stuck on the logo screen, it is seen as mtp device.
In the recovery mode screen, there are many errors (can't/failed to mount /efs, /system, /cache, /cache/recovery/last_recovery, /data, /data/log/recoverylog.txt, /cache, /cache/recovery/log, last_log, last_install.
In Windows, the PC doesn't recognize the model, however, in a virtual machine that runs Linux, it is correctly seen as Note II when in adb sideload mode, but Linux is not able to mount its storage.
I have also deleted cache, tried Samsung Kies and Note II Toolkit.
What I would like to do is recover the data on it. Do you think it is possible, and if yes, how?
Thank you.
Sounds like a failed memory chip to me.
any answer now?

No, I don't have access. What I want is to recover the files on it, if possible.
This may be a problem with the power button. if you can go into download by pressing only the menu button + volume down is because the power button is always pressed.

Sorry i think your partitions broked. I think you cant recover your data. There is has only one solution. Odin and Format....
My device too has pc cant detect my phone. I tried different cable without samsung usb drivers. Pc succesfully detected the my device.
By the way i installed lg usb driver because of someone's phone is lg and they need format.
I think there's no way to recover your data now.
BTW what recovery are you using?
