Eonon GA2175 - Android Head-Units

Hello everyone.
For my first post here I'd like to share and learn more about rooting the EONON GA2175. This Android HU currently operating with Oreo on a RK3326_mid chipset. So after an exhaustive search, there is not much information available in rooting this system. It seems that's this HU seems to be almost completely locked down. For starters, I wasn't able to even access developer mode through the build number as usual. I was finally able to get through by installing a developer access app called "Developer Options Shortcut & Device Info" on the app store.
Using one click apps like Kingo Root, Root Master or Towel Root are completely ineffective. As a matter of fact, Root Master says my "phone is too strong"
I tried connecting the unit to a laptop by using a male to male USB cable. But both my laptop of the HU do not recognize each other. Maybe some drivers may help but none are available.
I've watched you tube videos that demonstrating other people rooting similar units by accessing the safe boot option then loading TWRP on a SD card. I believe this is the only way to root these units. However, for this unit I am unable to access safe mode. I've discovered that holding the "Vol/PWR" knob for approximately 10 sec will cause it to start blinking but combinations with the "RST" button, home or quick pressing the "PWR" doesn't work. That's as far as I got.
I hope this helps anyone with the same unit but any help with my roadblock will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx!

UPDATE
So I finally managed to get to recovery mode on this device.
1. With a tooth pick, quick press the "RST" button.
2. Long press the "PWR/VOL" knob for approximately 10secs until the lights blink.
3. Then immediately quick press the "PWR/VOL"
You may need to do it more than once but it'll work.
Well.... now what TWRP version should I use?
I didn't see my HU listed.
Or should I use a different program?

did you end up getting something to work?

Not yet.
I did manage to find some unit specifics. I'll post them shortly. Maybe some coder can do something with that info. Where I run into a roadblock is that I cannot find a suitable ROM and MCU.

If this help to figure things out.

Get any further with this, wouldn't mind a custom ROM for mine although i'm pretty happy how it works now.

Actually yes!! Type "ADBON" in factory setting password to access developer options. It works. Thanks Ric69!

Allwinner R16 (astar_d7) Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow - Partition Dump & Information

Please note that I gave up on this unit (MTCD PX5 units are so much nicer...). I will try to update this post (however infrequently) with information that may appear in this thread or come my way by other means, but I will not seek information actively and updates will no longer be from my own experience or experiments.
At the time of writing this head unit is available here and (probably) here. These are both custom fit for Kia Sorento, but other versions do exist; in particular several EONON units feature the same hardware configuration (model numbers GA2160, GA7153 GA7163, and I am sure others).
Hardware-wise this seems to be the same unit as described in this thread so many tricks therein will work for this unit. In particular the USB debugging password continues to be "[email protected]" (without quotes); the extra settings password is most likely either 123456 or 668811; the factory reset and developer options passwords appear to be both 7890.
In all the unit is an Allwinner quad core R16, with the MCU version 5.3.19-16-10-650101-161115 and System version V7.3.1-2016-11-12.100233_TW2. Here is the Droid Info report:

Software-wise the unit comes with a fairly stock version of Marshmallow, though as usual the operating system is a bit locked down (but to my surprise not too locked down) compared to stock.
The purpose of this thread is to gather information about the software and possible customization for these units. I have added the information I gathered from my experience and I will update this post with any new information I manage to obtain.
1. Partition dump
For reference I dumped all the partitions of my device. The dump is available here. The dump was done by name (for those partitions that have a name) and symlinks point to the device name from /dev/block. Feel free to share (credit appreciated but not necessary) and please share any information that you gather from it (which will be included in this section as it becomes available).
2. Flashing firmware
There are multiple ways of flashing new firmware, depending on the actual unit and also its state (working, bootloop, etc.). All methods require that the all the files (three to six) that contain said firmware (see next section) be placed in the root of a SD card formatted FAT32 and inserted in the GPS slot of the unit. Some reports of the firmware being flashed from a USB stick rather than the SD card also exist; they also mention that choosing one USB port over another might make the difference between success and failure.
On a working system inserting the card and/or USB stick and choosing "update system" from preferences will likely do the trick.
On a system that is not working the following methods have been reported:
Hold Home, press Reset, and keep holding Home until the update starts (thanks).
A hardware solution is to short Key 1 (steering wheel controls) to ground, then press and hold Reset for 10 seconds; release Reset and disconnect Key 1 when "update" is displayed (thanks).
Yet another procedure might be needed for some units (thanks): Using a USB stick prepared as above and inserted in the unit, turn ignition to ACC, press Reset, turn ignition off, then after 5 seconds turn it again to ACC. A video is also available.
3. Flashable firmware
All the reports I have seen indicate that all the firmware versions are interchangeable. However, a factory reset will be needed most of the time for full functionality, especially so when installing firmware from a different vendor. It is VERY important however to note that the file bd07a5ee-fbb0-11e4-ae78-000c29ba27c0 contains the MCU firmware and so SHOULD NOT be flashed on incompatible devices as doing so will brick the unit (thanks).
Partition 11 of the above dump in particular stores a flashable image. It contains the following files:
81cb828c-9b57-11e6-ad2a-df6786178d62
827ba428-9b57-11e6-8dfb-37398ea70e52.0
827ba428-9b57-11e6-8dfb-37398ea70e52.1
bd07a5ee-fbb0-11e4-ae78-000c29ba27c0
The files 827ba428-9b57-11e6-8dfb-37398ea70e52.* in particular when cat-ed together form an ext4 file system that appear to be a copy of the system partition. This 4pda forum thread contain more information (thanks @Ahfish22); I do not speak Russian at all but Google Translate does a good job most of the time.
Since I started this thread many people have posted many firmware versions. Here is a hopefully complete list. There might be duplicates and misses and I apologize for both in advance.
The following set of firmware (in particular V7.3.1_20170610.110122_KED1 therein) come recommended by several users (thanks).

Kaier firmware (thanks)
Rooted KLD (Klyde) firmware (thanks):V7.3.1_20170512.203736_KLD1-0-1-mod
4. Recovery
Mot units do have a working recovery partition, though some are reported not to have such. The command "reboot recovery" at a root prompt (terminal emulator or ADB) will enter recovery (if available).
Alternatively recovery can be reached with an external USB keyboard as follows: While holding Alt and Print Screen keep tapping i; the system will eventually restart in recovery (thanks pir8man) .
It should be noted that despite the on-screen instructions the stock recovery does not react to any buttons on the head unit, but works well with an external USB keyboard.
5. Customization
There are useful tweaks that come with the stock operating system including speed-dependent volume and (apparently, I have not tested exhaustively) the elimination of the full-screen keyboard.
I found this alternative to the stock radio app (context, source code) which is pretty nice except that the app force closes upon attempting to enter settings. If you speak Russian it may be worth discussing this with the developer.
Root: Kingoroot works, though several attempts (reboot and try again) may be needed. Note that a reliable Internet connection is needed during the whole process. I do not like the extra apps and intrusive ads that come with Kingoroot. I therefore recommend once rooted to install Chainfire's SUperSU, let it update the su binary, and then uninstall Kingoroot. Note however that the current Play Store SuperSU (namely, version 2.82) may not be able to overwrite Kingoroot's su (saying instead that "the su binary is occupied"). If this is the case you may want to try version 2.79 (downloadable from here) which is known to work. Once the Kingoroot's su binary is overwritten you can upgrade to the latest (Play Store) SuperSU.
Busybox: Installed without incidents using the usual installer from the Play Store.
Xposed: Installed using the Xposed installer v. 3.1.1 and works well. I tried Gravity Box and Xprivacy.
6. Outstanding issues
It should be possible to redefine the default apps for music, video, and radio but I did not find any way to do it.
Mapping SWC and front button panel events works to some degree (for testing purposes I mapped the "Band" button to the app drawer), but this seems to be exclusively at the mercy of the MCU, which only allows mapping to predefined actions. I could find no way to map these events to custom actions on the OS side. It was reported that button events are communicated to the OS as long as no MCU app is running. However, I was unable to reproduce this; for me no event is ever seen by the OS no matter how many (or how few) apps are running. I stopped all the MCU apps but even so KeyTest does not register any event.
Needless to say, no custom recovery (such as TWRP) exist for these units.
So if the hardware is the same as the other 4.4.2 units then can we update our old units to 6.0?
Can you share me the content of /sbin directory?

If the hardware matches then I do not see why not. In addition to dd-ing the system and boot partitions of my dump (which you are welcome to try) please see my last edits of the first post for possible flashable firmware being available.
Just make sure that you have a (tested) way to get back if things do not work...

See attached.
Found a thread in the russian site about updating the older units that came with 4.4.2 to 6.0. I will give that a try later today and report back. I'm mostly concerned about it's native support to USB DAC's so I can finally stop change audio sources in my DSP every time I want to use any app other than UAPP.
EDIT: spoke too soon before reading the updates to the original post!
Alternative to the stock radio -- help needed
I found this alternative radio app (reference, source code). It works well but I am unable to set preferences as the app force closes on selecting the setting menu item.
I would ask the developer, except that I do not speak Russian. I was wondering if any Russian speaker around here could inquire about the issue. I have also downloaded the sources and I am poking around but I am not holding my breath until I find a solution (I am a coder but not an Android developer). Many thanks in advance!

Hi, I recently bought one of these for a Ford Mondeo and I somehow have figured about using keypress events.
The problem doesn't lie in the unit itself, but the damn apps it has.
I have been two entire days staring at Extreme Logcat screen and button event but no go, but, suddently, key event started registering next, prev and play/pause.
GREAT, I thought, and I started configuring Xposed Additions to start some audio visualizers in some buttons but when I started the music app, it stopped registering the events. It closed that app and those events where working again. Tried powerAmp and everything works like a charm. Menu and back keystrokes can also be mapped while the on-screen button still do the default action, so:
- It seems like the built-in apps capture those events and prevent anyone (tasker, Xposed Additions) to use them.
- MP3 and video player can be replaced pretty easyly but radio and specially bluetooth manager (Which has a whooping 12 keys that can be customized (0-9, # and *)) cannot be replaced.
- Decompiling the app, and disabling those captures could be the solution to use all those keystrokes OR finding some way to block those apps from capturing those events.
If I get something new I'll post asap.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
(my first post):laugh:
I would also like to have a copy of this ROM.
I have the same Droid report.
Being someone that cant leave things alone i have somehow corrupted my unit.
I rooted with Kingoroot and all worked well. Uploaded a recovery to the cloud, all good.
Decided to down load back to the unit. Wife moves car and interrupts download.
Now when i boot up all i get is the car logo and the android screen, this is where it stops.
Tried installing various updates, They seem to install. Progress bar for abut 5 min shows update end
then boots to the car logo Android screen and stops.
Cheers

Thank you for the report. I tried the same (stop all system apps) but even so KeyTest does not register any event. This was done for the panel buttons since I do not have yet any SWC (the unit is on the bench), which may or may not be the cause of my failure.

Have you found any way to replace the default association for these apps? By default the "Mode" action cycles through the default apps, did you find any way to convince this action to cycle through some other (custom) rotation?

would one of my units be similar to yours?
i received a newer firmware from the chinese (build 29.12) as a ZIP which contains the 4 files as above, but i can't update it since i get a signature error (seen below). In the meantime i managed to **** up the screen by accidentally switching to 800x480 and now i can't see anything useful on the display...

Looks pretty much the same as mine (with a slightly newer firmware though).

Most (all?) Chinese vendors know absolutely nothing about the units they sell so it is quite possible to have the wrong firmware. This, or the file got corrupted during transfer somehow. Have you tried my firmware blob or the others that float around? The probability that it will work look decent and what have you gotta loose?
You can also try to restore the resolution by trial and error (touching the screen where things should be). A couple of success stories have been posted in this thread though the process looks painful...
there are couple of FWs around, i saw them on 4PDA as well. The latest is february, something. The problem is that the ZIP file has the 4 files you listed above, instead of an IMG file. Shouldn't IMG be the default ROM update? I mean even PowerSuit recognizes only IMGs, that is if i manage to connect to the damn box somehow.
I tried TV out, hoping the signal is ****ed only from the mainboard to the screen and it would manage to display it on another external screen, but....there is no TV out. Didn't work with the cables provided.
Trial & error...i would need to see another menu next to me in order to see where the hell i'm pressing on my screen
Resolution change is the first menu, but is hidden in the extra settings, behind a password which i'd also need to enter....blindly.
Did you manage to install any of the 4PDA firmwares properly on yours? Try the December 29th one, this is the one that Infidini sent me....
LE: LOL, i just read the following passage from the thread you posted above:
"What is the Extra Settings password?
Resolved: 123456
Note: Do NOT change the resolution of the head unit. You will destroy your unit. However it is reversible."
Post 807: another quickfinger like me, changed the res. the other way around, from 800 to 1200, but he still sees something....

HERE is the link to the FW that infidini support provided me.

there are couple of FWs around, i saw them on 4PDA as well. The latest is february, something. The problem is that the ZIP file has the 4 files you listed above, instead of an IMG file. Shouldn't IMG be the default ROM update? I mean even PowerSuit recognizes only IMGs, that is if i manage to connect to the damn box somehow.

I believe that the four files can be used directly to upgrade, at least this is what people have reported (I have never tried to upgrade myself). This also makes sense given that a restore to factory from the (Android) menu will presumably use the partition with those files.

I tried TV out, hoping the signal is ****ed only from the mainboard to the screen and it would manage to display it on another external screen, but....there is no TV out. Didn't work with the cables provided.

It would appear that TV out only works for the DVD.

No, I meant to but I am really pressed for time nowadays so I have no idea when will I get to it.

Here they are. Sorry for the crappy photos but I have no idea how to take screenshots on this unit (please advise):
1-main.jpg - main screen
2-notif.jpg - notifications pulled down (two times)
3-settings-scrolled.jpg - the settings app scrolled all the way down
4-car-settings-scrolled.jpg - the Car settings screen scrolled all the way down
5-settings-pass.jpg - the password entry box and keyboard (I would advise the use of a USB keyboard instead though)
6-extra-settings.jpg - the Extra setting screen
7-resolution.jpg - the resolution dialogue
I hope this helps. If somebody can advise on how to take screenshots I will come back with better quality photos.

Hi, with this kind of radio you will never have zero issue. On the other side it can give flexibilty and a lot of things you cannot have on other autoradio.
- To set sometihing you can access the Factory menu (password 126). There you can set logo and others aspets. But please act carefully, and on your own risk. First of all do a config back-up: in Factory menu click the "Export" button; that will create a dmcu.cfg file; save it on an external drive.
-Moreover, you should learn the way you can enter the recovery on your own radio.
- Here you can find about a ROM mod:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...t/rom-hal9k-mod-v4-mtcd-e-head-units-t4046361
Anyway if your are not sitisfied, the issue you reported are enough to send back via paypal. I suggest to avoid mods, if you want follow that way.
Usually, the firmware updates that the sellers provide are MCU file (dmcu.img) - if you get, the seller will tell you also the way to install; it's different from ROM.

Interesting and thanks again.
It doesnt look difficult from what I have read. The only question I would have, Is it worth doing? Can I revert to OEM if it isnt what I want? Further Given the type of HU i have is this possible with the Dowload available or is it for a particular type? Mine is PX6 Android 9.0 from the factory. DOes it make any difference if its 13.6" screen?
But First and foremost I will work out how to get to recovery as you say.
Cheers again, your a good man.

Hi,
It depends on your interest and your intention to dedicate time . In my opinion the @Hal9k_ ROM is a very intersting one.
Yes, you can go back to the original ROM, but you must have the file to do that. May be if you ask to @Hal9k_ , he could tell you more details about the possibility to go back to the OEM.
What makes differece among Head Units is:
- the Hardware model: you have a PX6, a good one
- the Brand, as it tells you the MCU (the low level firmware) you can use when updating it
- the screen size is not so important, but it must be a supported one
About entering recovery have a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPQgV_55Rkk&feature=youtu.be
It may depend on your specific Unit.
Cheers

Expert needed to root Android Headunit with Allwinner A50 SoC

Hi Experts,
In possession of a Pioneer Headnit which consists of a amplifier and seperate tablet SDA-8TAB.
Seems to run on a Allwinner A50 Soc and on Android 9. Would like to get root access but well known Rooting Apps do not work. Somebody can help? I captured some info from the tablet and by looking in the logs which were created when you re-install the tablet:

It would be very helpful if you mentioned wich rooting apps you already tried. How would you otherwise get advice about other apps/options.

Sure, thanks for the question, apps I tried:

P.S I don't want to install custom rom, only would like root access

Try Magisk. It is the universal rooting method.
You do need to know though how to flash a boot image, or how to dd write a boot image.

Goedemiddag,
Yes I have read tutorials and I need TWRP with a custom file designed for my device, which I cannot find.
So Magisk is one step too far for the moment.
Any suggestion? Dank, HJ

Depending on the head unit you do not need TWRP, but I have no idea how your boot/recovery works.
Other tools are Superuser and SuperSU.

What I did just now:
1. In developer settings Android allow to boot custom image
2. Downloaded MagiskManagere to tablet and chose the option to install ZIP automatically
3. Booted in Android recovery mode by holding down the power button and volume up button
4. I expected to get booted in a different screen than the stock Android one, see attachment.
Bootloader option just shows the Android puppet....with belly open
Am I doing something wrong?
I also surfed the web and found out that it's helpfull to have the stock factory rom from the device so that later on it can be flashed with root access.
But to get the stock rom you need root, which I am actually after. Or use TWRP but hey, they don't have rom for my device.
So basically stuck. Should I give up or is there a way, or perhaps I am doing something wrong?

Most units here are Chinese units. Actually there are only 4~5 Android/MCU manufaturers. All the brands you see are resellers of the hardware of these 4~5 resellers. You have a Pioneer. It might be identical to one of those manufacturers, but maybe also a pure Pioneer in-house development. That makes that it difficult for those Chinese head unut owners to help you.
But did you try this link? : http://howtoandroitroot.com/download/pioneer-sda-8tab
(I didn't follow it through)

Note to self for good tutorial, method 2. https://www.the***********.com/install-magisk-root-android-devices/
Need Stock root image.
The website you gave doesn't asllow me anything, however it shows options for all ANdroid which is strange, This tablet just came out.
Do you have somebody in your network who could help find that stock boot image looking at my first post with ingo, or contact me how to get it myself from the device perhaps?
Willing to donate of course.
I think I have almost the same unit as you .. I've been looking everywhere for the info about rooting and any available alternative roms ... Mine is a Xomax XM 2VA 757 ... pure allwinner but now you've answered a lot of my puzzles. Thanks
We have almost identical architectures .... and I have asked my vendor if they can find me an OTA type upgrade ROM for it .. I don't hold out much hope but I am trying.

And we both live in the Netherlands !! I'm in Den Haag .. where are you ?
I just found anA50 firmware .. don't recognise the device though ...
Here ...
Heya. I have the same device. After a few weeks of research I managed to boot it into a firmware from another device (MultiLaser M7S Lite Oreo) using PhoenixCard. This means that I should be able to use IMGRePacker to extract it, then patch boot.fex with Magisk, flash that back onto the SD Card and from there on out, I should be able to backup the stock img from the internal nand, patch that and then flash it to the nand. I will keep y'all up to date with success/failures.
UPDATE 1: Boot.fex from MultiLaser Stock Firmware is patched and repacked into Firmware IMG. Flashing to SD Card right now.
UPDATE 2: Flashed SD Card with new boot.fex. Wouldn't boot. Will try flashing it with the option "Preserve force encryption" checked.
UPDATE 3: Just found out there are two bootloaders. One on the nand, and one on the SD. Obviously to boot the sd card with a patched img, I will need to unlock the bootloader. Edit: It won't boot to bl with button combo, I am assuming I will need to execute "adb reboot bootloader", so will be trying that.
UPDATE 4: The M7S ROM is booted and rooted baby!

Unfortunately I messed it up and accidentally flashed the internal boot partition with a magisk patched boot from the multilaser and now I have no way to obtain the original boot image. Though you can always check if the multilaser firmware is anywhere near stable on your device using phoenixcard. I'll see if I can find back where I got the flashfile in a bit and post here. Just make sure to use phoenixcard before actually flashing the tablet. This way you can know if it even boots and works in the first place, without risking a brick.
The download quota is exceeded. Imma find a way to download it and reupload it to Mega
i can read system if i take of emmc using ufi box but i dont want to lose guarentee,i also tried to find a boot to patch it with magisk but i didnt,i only want to root this pioneer

Help with Alps FF-5000 Android 10
I am also interested in this topic, I have the same unit and I would like to get the original Android 10 Firmware, since I changed it for a lower one, if someone knows how to Root this model, it could help us both.
I have a full backup of boot_1 boot_2 and emmc_user partitions. It’s for 2g-32g model 8227l
It’s fake android 10 with api27 which is 8.1 Oreo if that helps
Includes SU binary that’s not hampered from factory. Eonon had SU binary but was not functional per se.

I SOLVED MY PROBLEM WITH THIS DEVICE
It was GPS antenna. Its interference or faulty receiver loses MCU settings in memory. Once disconnected all turns normal.
Do the following :
- diconnect gps antenna
- disconnect radio antenna and then reconnect while ignition is on (gps antenna disconnected)
- turn ignition off, press button reset while turning ignition key, release reset and wait for device reseting
- adjust device settings again and enjoy the music !
+ get a new gps antenna !
:good:
FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SELLER OR download from :
(I assume that yours is android 8.1 - upgraded to android 10)

!!! PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT YOU MUST CHOOSE THE RIGHT MCU AND SOFTWARE !!!

Reboot problem
I have installed the one sent to me by @antonTNTand it works, but every time I turn on the unit, after 10 seconds a window appears with a countdown and two options, "cancel" or "update" and the system restarts automatically, and it starts in "usb detected" mode while the pen drive is unplugged, it is quite annoying since it delays the start of the unit every time I get in the car.

Turn your usb stick or SD card with software back in port... Then when boots up just click on update. If window not removed after update, go to main menu with password 8888 and find others menu or the one in which to set all settings for device and declick one for updates/software/firmware.
Or maybe usb or SD card with software in it is just stuck in memory and android detects update and wishes to install. If this is the case, unplug usb /SD card clicking on usb icon on lcd and then press eject and then safely remove stick.
Keep me updated will help you out.

I already found the problem, it had the .BIN files copied to the root of the internal memory of the radio, and every time it is turned on it detects them and restarts in USB reading mode. I deleted them and the problem is over
Would someone please send license.dat file, my headunit saya it's not activated after I upgraded firmware?

Well I did code 9191 which clears license code afaik. I installed fw that you uploaded, it went well but still my headunit says activation file not found. But atleast my volume button.(knob) is working now with that fw. Fm freq is restricted to under.90 mhz, but if you are quick enough, you can save bigger frequencies aswell.
My hu is alps 8227l ff-5000, bought from aliexpress, seller claimed it to be hizpo branded but there is no hizpo logo anywhere in frame.

New Android Headunit A007_C56 2.2Ghz Octa 128GB+8GB

ANDROID:202211081700 (4G) 12 (fake 10)
MCU:MLO-mtk_C56_whe02d-aAaAaA_473X-CC568091-8A 20221221
Model: A007_C56_HA11_U859-EN-D_2022-11-08-1652
Octo 2.2Ghz 128GB+8GB 4G LTE on board.
Recently bought this headunit from Alli. It is a very quick unit although it comes with a lot of behind the scenes bloat and I have so far been unable to root and ADB does not work.
My main problem is an app called TXZ VOICE. It is interfering with android assistant. It is installed as a system app and I am unable to remove or disable it. As is the case with many of the other bloat apps.
I guess I'll have to wait for the community to pick it up. But what little information I have learned is the factory code 99992. A testing mode that appears to have an ADB shell, however it will not remove or disable apps.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated
If an ADB shell is provided, then check device's system file build.prop for the follwing entries
ro.build.type=userdebug
ro.debuggable=1
ro.secure=0

to check whether you can debloat Android or not.

Thank you for the reply.
ro.build.type=userdebug
ro.debuggable=1
ro.secure=1
So I guess there's the answer.
The bootloader does seem to be unlocked however. I think there is a custom bootloader installed but I can't access it.
A device's bootloader ( Linux kernel ) and device's Android OS are totally different things.
If I understood it well then you want to debloat Android OS: this gets done via ADB ( read: Android Debug Bridge ).
Yeah. I was just adding any information I know about this headunit. My hope is perhaps it may be possible to flash new firmware in the future.
