Can any one shed any light on this unit (root roms etc)
Having recently bought because of its 2 sec boot time due to mcu unit
Having read through threads to identify it
I am none the wiser
Tried accessing Oem settings too but no passwords used or
Recommended in the forum seem to work
Is it possible to mod in any way
I have checked in settings /about
And no reference to mtcd or b etc can be found
Please help
Thanks

I have not tried adb
But looks like it works and root too
According to above posts
So now how do we go about identity of unit beyond atoto
To see if any roms are compatible
I recently contacted atoto about low mic volume/gain
They said they would release an app soon to control the mic better.but they are currently focused on a newer unit with
Androids 6.0 so that has delayed releases for current m4
They did say they had the sdk for android 5.1 for this unit

As I had a mic problem I did some digging with
Shortcut master
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
And this gave access to hidden Oem settings
In audio then choose mic and then levels
Having changed level 1 to 240 (set) and all other levels up til 8
Are also changed to 240 ( max is 255 if you prefer)
My mic preformed much better now but could still do with a little tweaking.

Thanks for the info for the oem settings. Shortcut master got me into it. Just searched for oem...
I was able to get into engineer mode with apex launcher b4, but thanks though.
Also the bootanimation in the app section work on this unit. Just got to rename to bootanimation.zip and put it in /system/media/

Cant get usb debugging to work. Checked it in dev options and even edited the build.prop and default.prop with
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb,mass_storage

Then there was another setting in there that was
ro.sys.usb.storage.type=mtp,mass_storage
I changed it to
ro.sys.usb.storage.type=mtp,mass_storage,adb

And still cant adb through usb.. Can anybody help?

I have not tried usb debugging but just wondering if you tried each USB port as in the manual it says each port is designed for a specific device/ add on like camera phone etc
But I have no idea if this makes a difference
But anything is possible with android as I have learned over the years

I have the 2 long usb cables running to the front dash using, Rerii 1 Meter 3ft Dual USB Extension Flush, Dash, they both work with mass storage and charge my phone. Both work with a wireless keyboard and mouse also. Havent tryed the short cable, being i installed the unit b4 i got the rerii adapter, and its a pain takin the dash apart.
Think thats just how the other things get mounted, if u look at storage in the settings, the mounts r already there.
Really need to get usb adb to work. Default.prop keeps reverting back to stock.. Im gonna keep lookin for solutions.

Also. When reboot to Recovery it goes straight into installing update, no menu. Bootloader reboots after like 5-10sec.

New firmware 8.0.3 was just posted
Have not had a chance to fully test it to see what's new
But easy connect now works with my phone
Nexus 6p 7.1.1 march pure nexus rom
So I am happy as it has not worked at all on 7.1.1 till now
Note unit m/4 must have an internet connection for 1st install of easy connect to phone
Or else it will fail to download needed services for success

Also needed to setup Bluetooth and wifi again after update
Note my phone will not connect with Bluetooth pin 0000
Change to 1234 and then it connects ok.

New email from atoto today
"Our engineer is working on release an microphone gain control app in the next 2-3 weeks, so I have to ask you wait for extra a few days."

Sent atoto an email about the bugs
Waiting on reply maybe Monday
Have had this clock problem on kitkat before
USA has set its clock back but Europe has not done it yet
During this window of difference some clocks act weird
Well at least last time this happened that's what it was
Have not checked cpu will get back to you on that
Also noticed firmware 8.0.3 reports as 8.0.2 in settings
Not sure why???

    Havent tryed any of the cameras.. I was able to get root with kingroot, then changed to supersu with the replace.kingroot.to.supersu.zip.. Google that file, its on here. I was only able to use a certain kingroot version. The new version wont allow to be replaced by the zip.. Ill upload it when i get off work.
    No progress on my end, trying to port a recovery, but its taken some time. I dnt want to brick the unit, because i cant get usb debbuging to work with this unit.. So im covering all my bases.

    Deselect king root in the Device Administrators in the settings of the head unit.
    Extract zip
    Place mrw folder in the root of your sdcard.
    So it looks like (/sdcard/mrw).
    Then run in su with script manager from the playstore

    Update binaries, select normal, select reboot.
    Done

    OS 8.6

    Not sure about the Bluetooth bug I never had that problem....but it does address the mic gain adjustment! After installing the update go to the build number hit it 4 times, 1238 is the password and you are at the mic gain adjustment. I put it to 10 and restarted it seems quite a bit better....still wish I could add an external mic..... 8.6.1 has been released but has a bug that they say will be updated in the next few days
    so wait if you have not already done it....\

    I'd be willing to bet I've one of the first 20 units Amazon sold, 16g/M4171. Mine came with 2 antenna, 1 GPS and 1 wifi. Lol.

    Idk which version of King root I WAS on, but yesterday I found this little gem you shared, and I'm now happily using supersu.

    Thank you for sharing!

    Kingroot caused so much lag.

    Question; where do I find the Atoto OS number?

    Thanks
