Hi all, hope your well
My Eonon Ga6153f has been slow since I first got it.
Eonon have sent me numerous update files throughout my warranty period and there after but still no speed improvement
I decided to install a custom 'Malaysk' 5.1 firmware 1024x800 RK3188, this was whilst the car engine was off, it failed multiple times and I found out that the system was looking for a 'dupdate.img' not 'update.img'
So I renamed the file and it was going well however my car battery died during the installation and the head unit just cut off. I believe the head unit is now hard bricked.
All i get now is a black screen. I've tried booting into recovery as advised by eonon by holding reset and power etc.. But no luck. The dvd ejects and the head unit lights do come on when letting go of reset for 1 second but that's it.
I've tried using sd tool to load the stock eonon firmware on it but no luck. I've also had the img file on USB aswell but still nothing when switching the unit on
I've also tried rockchip batch tool by connecting head unit to the computer but rockchip cannot find the device? (Windows 10)
Am I doing something wrong? Any solutions?
I've spoke to eonon and they can't do nothing as I'm out of my warranty period and they are only willing to offer 10% off a brand new unit which still would cost me £280 which I reallly do not want to spending again
I've been driving without a stereo for 2 months now! Boring journeys everyday. Hope someone can help!
(P.s i am based in London, UK if anyone would like to come help me out)
Anyone???

Hello all! I have a sad story and an opportunity.
Sad story: I forgot my Universal on top of my car today and when I came around a bend in the road, it was slung out into a highway. The first car dodged it, and the second car aimed for it. I have taken pics. I think ti would have survived the slinging, and I am testing to see if the mainboard survived being ran over.
Opportunity: I'd like to get a new one. I don't mind parts-ing one together either. I am comfortable buying on eBay, and I don't mind it if I have to pay for international shipping, but I'd prefer to buy from the US for quicker delivery time.
I was just about to start really customizing the ROMS and all that too....
Sigh.
I hafe attached pics of the carnage. The microSD card survived. I did pull all of my data off though. Luckily I had done a hard reset las week, so I had all my numbers backed up. The SIM card survived as well, and I am borrowing a phone I gave a firend for the time being.
Wow those are some scarey images! Sorry for your loss, but that needs to be a closed casket funeral...
I've been considering selling my Uni/JasJar, PM me if you're interested in buying a used device with a bit of wear.
Oh my god............
RIP Uni are you trying to disassemble it for some pics of motherboard?
It looks better than I would have thought after being run over. You may be lucky and Mobo may be ok. You can buy replacement screens and casings.
Was it a compact that ran it over ? Cause I really cant see the Uni being that strong?
There are quite a few Uni's going on the UK Ebay anywhere from $200 USD to $80 USD if you are patient enough.
Good luck with finding another!
2 minutes silence for the Uni please......
Status update
I have purchased a B stock unit from eXpansys (the last one they had) for a decent price. Only problem is with the new unit, all I can do is get into the boot loader to see that it is version 1.00, and give it the hard reboot command. The unit appears to respond to the command but does not initiate the hard reset.
Hard reboot command I used: two soft buttons and the reset button.
Bootloader command I used: power, brightness, and reset button.
The bootloader does recognize that the difference between a USB and !USB connection. However, Windows consistently reports that the USB device has malfunctioned.
At first I thought it was a battery issue because the unit looks like it is brand new. So I waited patiently until I got home and tried all of the batteries I have here at the house. Yes, I was wary sticking the battery that was in the unit that was ran over into it, but I did try it. I have tried 3 chargers and two computers, and NADA. The only response I get from the device is using one of the two commands above.
Other random observations:
I tried inserting an old (disconnected but good) SIM card into it. Nada.
The battery was shipped in the battery compartment.
The backlight does work, as does the screen to some degree.
When I first plugged it into the charger, the battery status LED was red, as I anticipated.
The battery status indicator no longer turns red when the unit is plugged in. It does turn red when the battery is removed and power is applied.
Postulations at this point:
I wonder if I could load a ROM image to it?
I wonder if the battery is really charged.
Any and all help will be much appreciated on the matter.

I have disassembled it already and done some preliminary testing. The power LED does illuminate RED. I have tried attaching a battery and holding it, but hats not producing anything. But then again the screen is cracked like its cool, so I don't know what to expect.
I'll post pics when I get a chance.

It was one of those KIA/Mercades/lexus lifted CAR SUV things. They AIMED for it.
I looked on ebay, but I never though to check the UK side. Usually eBay does that for em for some reason....
Situation update
I have had a couple of offers and much sympathy. Thanks!
My unit from expansys is up and running. I was up till 3 am saturday morning playing around with it. I stumbled across a few posts that gave instructions on how to deal with a potentially bricked device. As far as I can figure. my phone was shipped to me without an OS. I knew that PCs could do that, but can you just blank the OS on a phone? I can theoretically see how that might be possible, but why would that happen? Do they not get shipped out with OS's? that baffles me.
The specific process of deduction I used:
read the manual (the service manual from HTC). It said to either reload the ROM or the mobo was defective. I started looking on this forum for the procedures and files neccessary.
It seemed that my phone was not booting, so I looked into the ROM upgradeing/reflashing pages.

As you can see, the wiki was quite helpful for me. Thae list above is not inclusive. I thought I had bookmarked all the pages I found helpful, but it did not apepar to be so. I have done much reading on this forum, and I purchased my original Universal over a year ago. I say that to let any newbies know that this is not a simple process and should not be attempted until you have a clear picture of what's going on.
I also tried the set 0 14 procedure, but that sis NOT work in my case.
What finally got me was the imate ROM I have attached to this page. It was able to see my universal, but only when I was in the bootloader. I will say that again because it bears repeating. I put the phone into the bootloader and ONLY THEN could I update the ROM on the device. I found no instructions anywhere on this, I had to figure it out on my own. The way I discovered it though is kinda neat. When I just plugged the phone into my computer, windows would not recognize it and say that it malfunctioned. If I plugged it into my computer with it in the bootloader, I got that nice sound that windows makes when new hardware is found. Also, I tried the Universal RUU and it did not recognize that the phone was attached in either way. Lastly, I first tried the ROM update with the phone not int he bootloader, and the IMATE program didn't see the phone. I tried it with it in the bootloader, and it did its thing.
I have attached a few of the files I found useful. I found these on this site, in some posts.
This is not a formal writeup, so please forgive any grammatical errors or rambling. I just wanted to share what I found.
So I finally just switched the SIM card back into the new phone. I tried to get MMS going, and SAME FRAKKIN thing: small pics. ARGH!!

Hi,
Some of the commands for MTTY are not in the standard bootloader command list, best advice is to supercid your device (this will help in recovery if things go wrong later too) then once supercid is complete, upgrade the Bootloader version and flash a complete Rom to the device, radio, extended and OS in one flash.
All info is in the Wiki mate, if you need any further help, post back to us or PM me.
Glad you got a device back up and running, ca'nt you sue the guy for intentionally hitting your old one................LoL!
Cheers,
Beasty
Three nights ago I plugged my AT&T GSIII to charge. My wife unplugged it in the middle of the night to charge her phone. When I woke up my phone was dead, no sign of life. I left it plugged in that day when I went to work, and when I come home there is no power.
I have already tried taking the battery out, putting it in, using my wife's fully charged battery, download mode, the USB Jig which I bought on eBay, nothing will turn the phone on. While I just bought a new main board, I would like to revive this one before the new one gets here.
Are there any guides out there to build a JTAG box? I have searched to no avail, and the XDA search is not working on my mac right now for whatever reason (maybe because it's a mac). I have a Raspberry Pi and have been debating whether to convert that to a programmer. I don't have the money to buy a RIFF Box right now.
Can somebody provide me to the AT&T GS3 Pinout for JTAG and / or a homemade DIY jtag box?
Edit: I also tried to perform an SD card boot. I've tried everything, and am not new to computers and am currently an intermediate programmer. Still, I've been reading all day and haven't found any sold answers.

Not sure how you can build a DIY JTag box. Before investing in this project, however, take note that the JTag unit is for forcing firmware installation directly to the MB and is mainly useful for fixing bricks caused by firmware failure. From what you described, it is doubtful if the problem with your device is with firmware especially since you weren't flashing any firmware. Most likely a hardware fault.
There is a known issue with a sleep-death that supposedly was resolved. I doubt it though, as I had the "latest" firmware. Either way, the firmware gets corrupted, and I have to find a way to re-flash the boot image with JTAG.

If you are certain it's a bootloader problem and you had the latest firmware (which is 4.3) then the unbricking instructions posted in the thread below may help ...

I have had a Pumpkin PX5 (newest version) in my truck for about 2 months now. Every two weeks the factory bluetooth app will not play sound. I have emailed pumpkin support but they can barely speak english. They gave me a new ROM to flash onto the unit which did nothing so I had to factory reset the unit and lost all my installed apps, etc to get it to work again. It now happens every 2 weeks and lately even a hard factory reset doesn't fix the issue. I was thinking maybe I'll root it but I can't be bothered. It does this issue when any phone is used, not just mine. It shows the song played on the phone but no sound comes out regardless of the volume settings
I am at my wits end with this thing and am tempted to spend the dough on a kenwood or pioneer unit because this is getting ridiculous. I have asked pumpkin if I can return it because it is practically in brand new condition. Their communication is horrible due to the language barrier and like I said nothing is working at this point. I just want to listen to some darn music!
If someone wants to buy a brand new pumpkin and pay for shipping for a great price shoot me a PM
thanks for any and all help
Hello there. I have upgraded the board from my Eonon KBT navigation from 4c/2gb/7.1.2 to 8c/4gb/android 10.
How can i root it, or if its an alternative software from malasyk/hal9k that can i use?
I kept searching, but i only found alternatives for Android 9.
Which board did you end up with for your upgrade? I also have an old Eonon unit (GA8166A for BMW X5 E53). I believe it is a PX3 board - MTCD KBT 2.61.
Hey. I bought this one : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814725689.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dUrIXPN
Ordered via DHL (extra pay), but asked the seller to put a price tag of 10$, because DHL wouldn't take any commissions for under 10$ final price ).
It was plug and play with 2 day transport from China to Romania.
Nice - thanks for the super quick reply. I understand I need to flash the MTCD to MTCE with the correct KBT firmware before installing the new px5 board.
Did you manage to find an up to date version of the MTCE KBT firmware? Once again thank you - I really appreciate your input.
Nope, i didn't installed other MCU.
I did try a HA 3.41 version, but screwed my navi completely, even if i tried to make everything again in factory settings.
I did leave my default MCU (that came with the navi, KBT 2.61), and worked flawlessly.
I did saw your post now, about the Bluetooth problem. I have EXACTLY the same problem since i got it, and only in the cold weather. So, i guess its something about Eonon afterall.
I actually got tired of the bluetooth connection and i didn't conected it anymore to my phone.
Thanks - and no BT/WiFi issues? The reason I want to change the board is intermittent BT/WiFi.
Refresh this thread, i edited my last post )
So, the board will not save the BT issue.
Actually, i regret buying this px5 board because i think i would have been better with another navi.
Don't get me wrong, its a big difference from PX3 to PX5, but it would have been a bigger one to PX6 )
I saw some variants from XTRONS and JOYING, decent price, but with PX5 also. I want to get a PX6 if possible, to make it even faster.
Interesting. In my case it seems to be temperature related. Below 10 degrees or so the BT will not work. Eonon suggested to enter factory settings and set the BT to WQ_BC8. Did not work.
But when the unit is warm after driving for 10 min or so it seems to work. That is if I set BT to WQ_BC8 and then restarting the unit. After parking the car overnight the problem is back. All the paired devices are gone and the unit does not show up when searching for BT devices.
Maybe a different BT module (i.e USB) would solve the problem. WiFi works all the time.
Yep, wifi works without fuss.
BT, exactly your problem. Devices gone, no pin, no name, unsearchable.
Probably a different module to integrate on the motherboard, but i don't think its that easy to switch, i have no ideea. I will search!
Hello Everyone,
I had a bad idea to try and upgrade my zlink app in my wife's car with a new version. Of course without backing up the old version . I've since tries installing about 20 versions I found online to no avail, and the seller of the unit I bought (CarNavi on aliexpress is not willing to help). Anyway, I've attached pics of the system info and actually had an old screen shot of the zlink app I am looking to replace, it is a PX6 unit. If anyone has the same head unit and has or can get their apk, I'd totally appreciate it.
Thanks!
