Hi everyone, I have a problme with my CARPAD 3 NR5210.
I try to flash Xdauto, but when i wipe all the battery brokedown. When i put it up the bootloader loop and i can't resume my unit to recovery or some other situation otherwise bootloader loop. Only bootloader loop ever.
I try:
push reset button (3 seconds hold and 20 seconds hold)
connect to PC for used ADB command, but PC doesn't recognize it
Nothing works, only bootloader loop.
Please, some suggestions

just a shot in the dark, but if anyone wants to sell their unit (and I really only need the external processor box) let me know.
Someone broke into my car a few weeks ago and stole the processor out of the glove box. The idiots probably thought it was a phone or something.

Wow, this happened to me too. Only thing they stole from the car was the android box. Unfortunately my spare I used to use for dev work was dead too. I had a NR5002 laying around and installed that today, need to buy/build a new mounting face since my old one didn't fit and wire up the steering wheel controls but it's nice having music again after almost a month.
Looks like this thread has died...was hoping for some commentary ideas/suggestions. I have one of these that I installed back in 2015/16 I believe and used it for a year, sold the car and shelved it. Its complete and was thinking about using it another vehicle though I havent kept up with this thread and any of the development work. I know at one time, it would not recongnize a larger usb attached drive...which was an issue. without trying to read through this thread completely, Where should I start in fine tuning this box with up todate OS/Firmware etc? Has the factory abandoned this altogether?
Hi all, after 8 years of good service my Carpad II is now locked on car logo and diesn't boot up.
It happen during a recent family trip and I guess my son play wrongly on power button.
Any idea of what to do?
8 years ago I did myself installation and updating following newsmy technician suggestions but now I forget nearly all.
I've also the sd card which I've flashed with all the required tools for the configuration.
I guess at that time, following chinese technician, I've updated the mcu while connected with the android box which was connected to the mcu....am I right?

OOh yes!!
My carpad 2 is not nu3001 based on Rockchip board!
Instead it is based on Telechips board.
All firmware software and instructions are on a russian website
disk.yandex.ru/d/XcDpU6XWfLn9Z/ИНСТРУКЦИИ КАК ПРОШИВАТЬ ЧЕРЕЗ ПК
Now I'll have to translate and study the flashing instructions....stay tuned!

Yuppyyaehhhh! I've got back my radio! I was having problem with the 2nd part of the program download which, for newer versions of hardware, is foreseen to be done with the sd card (on board nand memory on newer radio is not enough for the whole firmware).
I was able to flash in the firmwarevfrom pc but radio was only showing the red car with Newsmy logo and some chinese characters (this because she was not able to read the sd card)
Finally I tried with one of the newest software versions (C types) found on the russian website (it is amazing they have all the releases of the software for mcu and even for droidbox) . I freshly formatted with FAT type the sd card 4gb. Flashed the firmware (3 files, tcboot.rom, nk.rom and the nand memory partition file nand_data.fai) using otg usb port and tge fwdn program. Than switch off pressing long time the power push button. Switcg on again and she started showing the download from the sd card!
Once finished my radio was back!

If there is still somebody taking care of this forum I guess it will be nice to correct the first post of this thread where my radio type is called "frankestin" but in the truth is a sister of the 3001 models discussed here with the same droid box. Adding the information of the russian forum (using microsoft browser with the page translation tool 
) at beginning of this thread will basically let also the dt models owners enjoying all the info here.
Thank you

31Tuatara ROM - 1.1.4 - Pre-rooted, ClockworkMod, ViPER4Android and more!!!
It's been 2 weeks since I've received my NU5002S-H-H0 (2Gb) [thank you Summer], and as you will soon see, I've been very busy with it. And without any further fanfare, here it is ...
Tuatara Carpad II ROM - v1.1.4 - ClockworkMod Recovery
Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...ourcekey=0-wiM2-WJU5u3t_LzEYr-8yw&usp=sharing
NOTE: I broke Chrome in my first 1.1.4 upload. The only ROM change needed is Chrome.apk moved from /system/app to /system/preinstall.Please download version 1.1.4.1.
NOTE: toologic noted that the ROM encountered errors using the FactoryTool 4.4. I have since repacked the ROM, and I have ensured it is fully compatible for modification and repacking. Additionally I've moved all non-stock APKs other than for root support into /system/preinstall for better customization purposes.
Please download version 1.1.4.2 - Tested and confirmed working
UNTESTED: I had some time at work today, so I built up the ROM with the changes as I've been working on. I've called this 1.1.4.3.
If you're feeling adventurous and want to try an untested build then go right ahead and download version 1.1.4.3.
I will be testing these when I get home tonight in a few hours. They should be perfectly fine, and can be upgraded through SDCard. Backup first though!
Only download version 1.1.4.3 if ready to try my untested update(s).
Changes for 1.1.4.3:
- Moved ViPER4Android to /system/preinstall from /system/app to avoid future upgrade issues
There are known issues with installing ViPER as a system app
build.prop: - Reduced HWUI aggressive memory usage, as it provided little benefit above the new values (I noticed display update issues when under load)
Settings as per my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58964882&postcount=3102
audio_policy.conf: - Changed usb_device policy to permit dynamic samplig rates, channels, and formats for external USB Audio support
Should help with external USB audio devices - maybe someone wants to try a 5.1 system in a car? - Added usb_device for input, with dynamic input rates, but retained 16 bit stereo for android mixing purposes
Bonovo Testing - From Test-Radio version
These are the apps & libraries I found which were different and can possibly provide the updated power-off time selection interface.
Only try the Bonovo ROM if you're interested in testing out the changed applications and libraries. (TESTING ONLY)
- /system/app
- BonovoAirConditioning.apk
- BonovoMcu.apk
- BonovoRadio.apk
/system/framework - libbonovo_colorpick.jar
- libbonovo-colorpick.jar
/system/lib - libbonovobluetooth.so
Multiple versions of build.prop available!!!
I've made a few versions of the build.prop file to (hopefully) address the majority of use-cases needed. I've also made a reduced memory (but still increased from stock for HWUI) version of the build.prop for 1G devices, which may provide better memory usage and performance.
Use FWFactory Tool to modify the build.prop, change the boot logo (of course), and build your personalized ROM
- Tuatara 1.1.4.3 [Original as built]
- Tuatara 1.1.4.3 -1G [Original as built, with reduced memory usage HWUI and Dalvik for 1G devices]
- Tuatara 1.1.4.3 US [Original as built, with US locale and timezone settings]
- Tuatara 1.1.4.3 US -1G [Original as built, with US locale and timezone settings and reduced memory usage HWUI and Dalvik for 1G devices]
- Google Nexus 7 2013 [Pretends to BE a Nexus 7 2013 model at the hardware level. Playstore fix? May not work or even boot. Only use if you know how to recover using bootloader! ]
Changes from the STOCK 1.1.4 ROM to Tuatara 1.1.4.2
- Full Root with SuperSU 2.46
- /etc/init.d support
- Android L inspired
- ClockworkMod Recovery
- Google Now or Launcher3 Launcher choice
- ViPER4Android pre-installed (High Quality) with Impulses
- Repartitioned to 3Gb for your "Out of space error" avoidance!
- English (New Zealand), Pacific/Auckland as default timezone (That's where Tuataras live)
- Use Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.6/1.7 to flash the firmware
- ALWAYS use Restore button
- Mount errors on first reboot can be safely ignored.
These are due to the new Partition Layout containing random prior data - Once booted - wait 2 minutes to allow all apps to install fully and ClockworkMod to flash to recovery before rebooting
- Use RebootMenu to enter recovery mode for ClockworkMod
NOTE: In ClockworkMod reboot, when asked "Root access possibly lost. Fix?", answer "No".
This error is only appearing because the ROM is using SuperSU and not Superuser.
There is nothing necessary to fix about /system/bin/su.

Feedback, suggestions, improvements, recommendations appreciated!16I'm updating this post so as to provide an overview of what is discussed in the thread (and in hopes that people will quit asking the same questions over and over that have already been answered).
There is a ton of great information in the wiki here. Please read through it before asking questions here - this thread has gotten very, very (very) long and it's tough to keep up with what's happening when people keep asking questions that are in the wiki.
The below info is from November; current info is in the wiki.
WHAT IS IT: The Newsmy Carpad NU3001 is a dual-DIN Android head unit that runs KitKat 4.4.2, has a 7-inch screen, and no physical controls. It's nice-looking, very well made, and comes rooted out of the box. The manufacturer seems to be quite responsive to bug reports and feature requests, releasing frequent ROM and MCU updates to fix problems and usability issues. Oh, and we have full source code.
MAJOR FEATURES:
- Quad-core 1.6GHz Rockchip RK3188 CPU and 1GB RAM
- FM radio (RDS currently not working, awaiting a software update, priusfan figured out how to hack station names if you really must)
- 8GB Flash
- Android Box that contains CPU and most of the Android guts connected via cable that can be unplugged and removed from the car
- Built-in Wifi
- 1024x600 Capacitive Screen
- Dual Bluetooth: one is standard Android BT for use with ODB etc. The second is hard-wired to the phone app and only works for phone calls and streaming music.
- Pure Android, no fugly launchers, minimal other apps that aren't bad.
- 4x25W amplifier
WHERE TO BUY: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/News...eral-Android-only-without-DVD/2035002543.html COST USD$339. People are reporting various delivery times, mine shipped next day and arrived a week later. Note: this is the actual manufacturer on AliExpress, other pages are resellers. Do with that what you will. There is a dealer in Spain if you'd prefer to buy from Europe, it's 417€ plus shipping with VAT included. http://exclusivecarauto.com/android-quadcore-carpad-wifi-p-1001.html
BASIC Q&A:
Is it any good? Yes, it seems to be stable and work as expected
Is there a version for my car? No. It's only a universal 2-DIN package
But I saw one for a... No, you didn't. That's a Windows CE/Android frankestein thing made by the same company. You don't want it.
Does it work with Torque? Yes.
Does it work with my SWC? Supposedly, nobody has tried it yet. There is both CAN bus and resistive connections.
Can I talk on the phone and use Torque at the same time? Yes.
Can it be rooted? It comes rooted out of the box.
What ports does it have? USB Host, USB OTG, little bitty HDMI for when you take the Android Box out of your car and hook it to a TV
What connections does it have for my car? 4 channel high-power speakers, FM antenna, 1 set of line outs, 1 set of line ins, 3 composite video ins, CAN bus low and high (confusingly labeled + and -) and the usual complement of battery, acc, ground, dash lights, reverse switch, etc.
Does it run ....? Yes, think of it as a 7-inch tablet with built-in amp and radio that looks great in your dash.
AliExpress? Yes. It's like the Chinese eBay. Buying from them is not complicated. Summer, the girl who handles orders, is responsive and helpful.

- Video of software update process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BVZXn9n3LM
CAVEATS:
- There are no balance or fader controls, no equalizer, etc. You get 25 watts to 4 speakers and a single line out to hook up your subs or amps or whatever. Fixed in firmware 1.0.9
- RDS doesn't work at the moment, they say a software update is in the works.
- The microphone input is hard-wired to the phone-specific BT module. This means among other things that you cannot use Google Now voice control with this unit until we figure out how to connect a mic to it. There is plenty of USB connectivity, so it's only a matter of time. USB microphone works, including "OK Google". http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56386685&postcount=359
OTHER INTERESTING THINGS:
There are extra wires in the AV harness that are for old-school steering wheel keys that use a resistive matrix. It ought to be possible to hook up all sorts of buttons and controls in a car for various stuff. The MCU is aware of these.
It sounds really good.
Screen is bright and crisp.
Using the Android box with your TV requires a DC adapter that is not included and nobody knows what the specs are. It's 5V DC, appears chargers from old Nokia phones with the teeny tiny plug will work
I'll try to keep this post updated but it's my busy season at work so don't have a lot of time.
Here's the original post that started it all:
I've been wanting to buy a H/U for a while now but nobody makes one of the Huifei ones for my Saab 9-3, and the universal ones are so gaudy and fugly that I've just kept searching, hoping to find something better looking. Today I came across this Italian guy on eBay, selling a very attractive universal double DIN with Kitkat. The one he's selling is a dual Android/WinCE unit (not interested) and claims to have both an 8-inch and 10.2-inch screen, so not really trustworthy.
BUT. I did a reverse image search on all the stuff he copy/pasted in the wrong aspect ratio and came up with a different model from Newsmy which claims to have a quad core A9 @ 1.6Ghz and be pure Android 4.4.2 with no WinCE.
Other stuff:
- Works with steering wheel controls
- 7" display @ 1024x600
- NO optical drive
- Dual bluetooth (one standard BC5 for the phone, one for OBD).
- Good TDA7851 amplifier (28Wx4)
- All the usual crap like car DVR, TV, etc.
- Screenshot shows a stock launcher, no sign of any UI that looks like it's from an 80's sci-fi movie.
- I am aware that it appears to be a cheap tablet stuck to the front of a 2-DIN chassis
- No line outs that I can see, one of the sockets on the back is labled AV IN and looks to have a lot of pins, and another that seems to be a firewire port labeled Key Accessory Interface. No idea.
The only way to buy one seems to be either for USD$299 through a reseller on Aliexpress, whose listing is mostly incomprehensible, or direct from Newsmy on EC21 for USD$200. I have no experience with either site.
I guess I'm going to roll the dice and see if I can get one of these shipped to me and find out if it's any good.
ETA: found a ton of pictures; apparently you can pull the front panel off and connect it to your TV via HDMI.
EATA: not allowed to post links so you'll have to Google I guess.16xdAuto 1.1.6d released
New version of xdAuto released. Download links at the new thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units/xdauto-rom-newsmy-carpad-t3266694
Code:1.1.6d: December 8 2015 Add OTA-Updater software to make updates easier Disable rkupdateservice Update usb_modeswitch to 2.2.6 Add 3 ITU Regions to Radio. (Allows US AM stations to be properly spaced) Fix bug with Radio not adding favorites in certain cases Update usb_modeswitch and switch to building from source Add Bluetooth AVRCP support (playing track info and play position) Bluetooth phone will now show the caller name provided by the connected phone Bluetooth audio can now be controlled by SWC without opening the Bluetooth audio app first Fix for volume popup breaking immersive mode in apps such as Automate beta13So I got an e-mail from Summer. They are interested in using some of our UI enhancements. Of course our code is open source and they are welcome to use it. I just hope this leads to a little more communication between us and their techs. I will be pushing for them to finish up RDS code13CarpadCE ROM version 1.1.6b1
I've uploaded a new build of a rom based on the github code. This is not my rom, it is a collaboration of everyone in the community that has contributed to the code base that is on github.
I've named the rom CarpadCE (Community Edition) and set the version as 1.1.6b1.
This has most of the recent changes merged in, though the radio code has not been touched (waiting for @Zaphod-Beeblebrox to have some free time)
I figured out the last bit of the TWRP code to make TWRP an ideal default. From now on I suspect most people will want to use recovery for updates. Using recovery to update you won't lose your settings unless you intentionally wipe them.
New features:
- Rooted by default with SuperSU
- USB flash drive accessible from TWRP
- Ability to set standby time
Files are uploaded to a google drive here
carpadce-1.1.6b1.img is an image that can be pushed with the RKBatchTool
carpadce-1.1.6b1.zip can be updated via recovery
More things to come in the future. Thanks to everyone that has contributed!
Edit: there is an issue with this release and the filesystem keeping some apps from working. Also the name has changed and the official community release name will be: xdAuto - Moved ViPER4Android to /system/preinstall from /system/app to avoid future upgrade issues
