S160 - Android 4.4.4 Head Unit

[dud10]

Hello guys,

Anyone with a firmware version for a M422 model (Honda HR-V/Vezel)?

I updated the firmware to eng.rks160.20170504.153049.01705040.A00C and my screen started to blink after that. I would like to try other versions.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Do you want to try a slightly older Build file to match with your M422 model file?

Hi,
Where did you get your Firmware from?
Did you follow the instructions on this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/s160-android-4-4-4-head-unit.3268023/post-87043041 ?

Just beware that if you use an old SDcard that is not fully formatted correctly things can go wrong because the bootloader can still see some old deleted files.

Hi Leigh,

I got the firmware from Roadnav sales person. I have follow the instruction as you mention in that link. Now I'm afraid eMMC is broken. Do you know how could we change eMMC chip?

Hi again,

I'll send some links to your PM box.
Download both files and follow the instructions again carefully (remember do not format your SDcard using Win10 or MAC PC or Laptop).

If your next attempt also fails then you can try resoldering all the pins on the CPU Chip (I have done this twice before). It's a fiddly time consuming job but can fix some problems.

Thanks Leigh,

Well received. Currently I'm trying resoldering the eMMC chip, once it's done, I will try your instruction, and get back here.

Hi Guys and Girls,
Some of you may remember me from the old Roadnavi.com Forum.

I can help you with RoadNav S160 Firmwares.
Please post 2 screenshots from your "About Device" showing MCU version and Model number.
If your S160 is already dead, then a photo of the barcode on the back of your unit could help me identify your model.

Regards, Leigh.

Hi!
After refresh of firmware on my m250, seems it lost internal storage or something like that, because no changes saving(deletion of apps or creation of google account). All changes gone after turn off. Moreover, now I'm not able to renew firmware because of failure on 'system check' step. Could you share any instructions or FW updates for my M250 to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
My first question is; where did you get your Firmware Update from?
Or did you do a factory Hard Reset?

After a firmware install (or factory reset), you WILL lose all other Apps that are not part of the upgrade package.
You will need to log in to all of your old accounts again. You will also need to setup your Bluetooth and WiFi configs again.

Your existing Firmware MCU version is 01712290 (which was not a very stable version). What was the main reason that you tried to update? Were you having problems with your unit or just wanted to try to refresh?
MCU version 01705040 is the most stable of all the versions.

Before we upset your existing Firmware, would you like to try a Hard Reset?
Hard Reset
1. Press RESET button for 5 seconds
2. Without releasing RESET button press SRC button (the one with the house icon) for another 5 seconds
3. Then, release RESET button only (keep pressing SRC) and wait until you hear a beep.
4. Unit will reset after that.

Let me know how you go.
Regards, Leigh.

Thanks for quick response!
Yeah, I know that after FW update or reset to factory settings I will lost all settings and data. But I wondered that after FW update head unit does not save any changes, each time it looks like after reset of setting, however it keeps WiFi settings and nothing else. For example, after turn off saved radio station has vanished as well as google account, deleted preinstalled applications(MX player, YuoTube, wallpapers etc) again on their places. So, it looks like after reboot it returns to factory state except WiFi settings(it save connection to hot-spot). Sometimes impossible to install app because of lack of storage despite the fact that it has over 1Gb of free space.
I'm afraid that 'Hard Reset' is not my case, because M250 does not have nor RESET neither SRC buttons
Current firmware I received from RoadNav a couple years ago.
If you have another FirmWare versions for M250 I'll appreciate if you can share it with me, I want to try to update FW to another version, perhaps it will help.
Regards!
P.S.: on attached print screens I'm trying to install radio player which is about 10-20Mb.
P.P.S.: yes, I have SRC button with house icon, but RESET haven't found.

Hi
I found RESET button under MAP cap and have tried to execute HARD RESET. As result I've got the error: No command.
Looks like some issue with NAND Flash.

Hahaha, I was about to type that you should look under the flap where your SDcard goes

Don't worry.
I'll send a Link to your PM box later tonight (I have to have my dinner first).
