Howdy,
I have a 'jasjam' and am presently running WM6 Black. I decided today that I would upgrade to the new HTC ROM but almost every time I connect my phone to the PC here (Win XP) I get 'USB Device Not Recognized' on the occasion it does work, once the phone goes into the boatload when I try to upgrade (Hard SPL) I get 'A device attached to the computer has malfunctioned.' or something along those lines.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Ben.
Bump...
The phone seems to initially recognized (XP installs driver for HTC USB Sync), but after a little while the charge light will turn off and the phone will not be seen. After reconnecting it it becomes an 'Unknown USB device' again.
I'm running Schap's 3.54c.
Hopefully someone's encountered this problem before.
Ben.
Managed to upgrade with SD card, which indicently I felt was rather an improved process over upgrading via USB.
In any case I'm still having no luck getting the USB connection to function even now with the new HTC rom.
I've tried various things including cycling 'advanted networking features' under the USB connection properties (I saw this mentioned in another thread).
Again, any help would be appreciated.
Ben.
Try a different usb cable...they have been known to go bad.

Yep,
I have had 2 go bad so far.
I had thought the same thing, so I tried 4 different cables & purchased a brand new one to no avail. :-/

I got the same thing with my hermes...i think its a hardware issue. Do you have issues with slow bootup, lost BT etc?
do a system restore on your machine. select the time before you did your last flash. my pc at work does the same thing, system restore usually fixes it.

That's a good idea, that's worked before for me also.
Another option, if you can find the phone under 'Device Manager' on your PC, is to remove it.
And then when you plug your phone back in to your PC it recognizes 'New Hardware' and reinstalls it.
Sometimes that works.
It's happening also for me from time to time.
- A restart of both machines sometimes helps.
- good usb cable is needed (I had a retractable and it was almost never syncing).
- reinstall activesync + delete partenrship on both tel & pc is the last thing you could try...
Still it happens to me sometimes.
PS1: I was almost never able to sync via usb cable when not connected to the Company Lan.
PS2: I found a Mobile Checkpoint VPN client was also "disturbing".
Ok... so the project isn't dead... I want to take time to thank dzo.. He's freakin still working hard on this... I managed to get linux booted.. not android.. <--but thats because of the SD driver.. But dzo is a super smart guy.. and im sure he'll have that working... So.. I can hook my usb up.. and linux says usb connected.. disconnect it... and it says disconnected.. it makes me happy... I cant get it to initialize my modem... cause i don't have the correct password.. or something like that... so it gives me a generic ip.. which is 127.0.0.1
I can ping it.. and its there.. it can see it... When i try to ssh it via putty it says "connection refused"... so... I need to find out what im doing wrong there.. Im using port 22.. which i think is standard... but idk... Putty has a serial connection via com ports... but idk how to work that very well... so yeah... I think if we get some more people on this... We will be able to see Android on the titan pretty soon... Once again... dzo did all the kernals and everything... i'm just messing around with them.. thought id bring some titan people some hope...
yay linux but so far i cant think of any uses for it oh wells ill rember them as time goes

127.0.0.1 is always mapped to localhost on a machine. if the only ip address your titan has is 127.0.0.1, then that means there either aren't any other interfaces recognized or other interfaces aren't configured. when you try to ssh to 127.0.01 from your computer, what you're really doing is trying to connect to the computer itself on port 22. if you don't have an ssh daemon running on your computer on that port, you'll get a "connection refused" error.
since your titan doesn't have an external ip address, you'll have to resolve that before you can attempt to connect to it.
Dude, I am in the same boat as you right now. Everyday I check to see if there are any advancements on Linux ported to the Titan. Any chance I can get my hands on your files? I am pretty decent with Linux and I can see what I can do.
same here I want those files. I can rock linux once it is installed.
The option to run Android on the Mogul would be full of win and pass.
Good luck getting it working guys! I'd help but I'm not nearly advanced enough in my linux knowledge to get it working.
I've got the SD driver working now, can somebody with a titan see if android boots for them.
go to.

for instructions...
awesome news!!! Testing now, will report back.
Excellent effort all ..!!!!
Even without Android, Linux on this phone will ROCK.
Android boots up and is really fast. Touch screen works but none of the other buttons do including the keyboard. I would like to see and gpe phone edition build that might be better because it would have a software keyboard and terminal for debugging.
Phone calls work!!!
I use sprint and both username and password are blank in my default.txt browser also pulls up google's webpage with these settings
edit: power button works sometimes.
This isn't working for me on my 4gb MicroSDHC card.... (I get some weird errors, I can post later if you want.) Does this support MicroSDHC?
I have a 2gb card and it works with that I don't know about anything larger.
worked on a 512mb card i had laying around... i don't think this properly supports MicroSDHC... altho it even recognized it as SDHC in the startup...
Is there anything you can do with this yet?
Does it use wifi?
Boots and runs fairly quick. Doesn't work on my sdhc card as well.
When using pointer location, the alignment is close in some areas, but way off in others. Would be nice to be able to align as this causes issues with selecting menu apps.
Pressing the Camera button brings up the on screen keyboard, but I can't get it to work. It just flashes when I try to select a letter and never types anything in the SMS message box or Browser.
After awhile, the hangup and pickup phone buttons stop working.
Not sure if data is working or not since I can't type anything in the browser.
I am able to place phone calls. Sometimes I can't hangup due to the hangup button stops working and it says touch screen is disabled during phone calls.
Other than that, very impressive that you got this up and going on our phones!
dzo, WORDS cannot describe how I am feeling right now...
Titan - DCD 3.2.0
Android boots up from my 2gb SD card, but same problem, keyboard just flashes, won't type, hangup button stops working from time to time, anything we can do about the keyboard? seems like the touch sensitivity is a bit off too
First of All...thanks DZO...this is great work.
this is nice...just when it was booting up it was looking really NICE. The red thing going left to right n i was like "WHOA NICE" lolz
same problems as others...
Hardware: keyboard doesnt function, Only Camera, power and Phone (ON/OFF)buttons work. The buttons didnt stop working for me like they did for others...even after running this for like 3 hours. Then again I ran it...and they stopped working.
Software: Keyboard comes up after hitting camera button, but does not type anything. while running "Pointer Tracker" from dev tools...the center of LCD seems to be aligned, but the outer alignment is a bit off to the center from all sides. Batt Indicator does not reflect true status always shows full.
I was able to make call, but phone reset itself after 2 rings out. Incoming comes in, doesnt ring, but viberates.
Unable to test: Data, Wi-fi, GPS
Overall its really nice interface, apps load pretty quick.
It looks like it's not working on my 6gb card:
I unzipped everything to my SDcard root, and I get this error:
"mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /Sdcard failed: No Such device or address"
"Failed to Mount SD Card"
So it looks like an SDHC issue?
Now...to convince my wife to let me borrow her 2GB card!
ok, on further reading on the error:
I'm getting a DATA CRC Error when reading from the card shortly after "Welcome to Vogue Linux"
I see the "Short Transger (512 != 4096)" before the buffer I/O Error
I can give more technical details if it would help, but they are tiny, and hard to read, so I'd like to transcribe only if it would be of help....
BTW - Does the bootloader have an option to create a text log file?
I'm using the Sandisk 6gb micro SDHC with a speed rating of 4.
Does anyone have the Ca-Fi Android car stereo? It seems it was recently released. I really want one, and will probably get one.
ca-fi.com/en/
Im debating on ordering one too.... though they list a 800mhz and a 1.2ghz version. Seems the 800mhz version is the only one available
Wish XDA would make a section for it and some custom **** was done with it!
total junk. save your money
I got one yesterday and installed it. Save your money. Its total junk. Was definatelu rushed to market.
No android market (yes you read that right)
Navigation requires data connection either through hsdpa gsm 3g or wifi (meaning you have to provide data for navigation to work at all)
Voice navigation doesnt work (it asks you to install additional files via the market, which again doesnt exist so it fails)
Every time i start the unit it goes to fm radio even when i dont want it to. Force closing the radio app does nothing.
The list goes on and on and on. NEVER AGAIN

Oh that's disappointing. I'm still considering buying one, just to see if I can root it, and fix some of the problems that you listed.

I actually thkught about that too. Problem is you really cant connect it to a pc so any rooting work woukd have to be done via microsd card and run natively in 2.2. Not only that even if you root it theres no gurantee the android market would be installed as the "default" market. This means the voice navigation may never be solved.
Long story short, i am veey disappointed. :-(
that unfortunately, I wanted one for my birthday

Doesn't it have a USB port on it?
I made the same mistake of purchasing one. I have been unsuccessful in trying to root it. Z4 will just freeze the device requiring a power cycle. I attempted to connect via USB but did not have any luck using this method either. The problem is that the radio runs both USB ports in Host mode. This keeps it from showing up as a device when you connect it to a computer. I have tried both the front and rear ports with Windows and Linux.
I did manage to get the Android Market app installed. It took a good bit of work and involved copying the Google apps including first boot to an SDcard and sideloading them. The first boot app did break my home button, it currently does nothing and I can't figure out how to re associate it with the launcher.
Once I was able to connect my Google account, I was able to sideload the market apk. Of course, this required working wifi. The dumb device is configured for wifi using a wpa_supplicant file which specifies that 802.1x authentication is required. Seeing as I'm not using this on my wifi, I needed an app called wifi fixer to override this setting. I also needed to setup an unsecured wireless network because I couldn't get wifi-fixer to connect to a wep or wpa network. Once connected, the wireless was very spotty but worked long enough for what I needed.
After all this was completed, I was able to download an offline navigation app, copilot live, that would allow me to use the device as a nav while I wasn't sitting in the driveway connected to the wifi. I did try connecting to my rooted DroidX with CM7 using wifi tether but could not get the radio to complete the connection.
As shassouneh pointed out, it boots into FM Radio every time its powered on. This allows it to start playing music quickly, but is very annoying. I typically stream music from my phone over bluetooth which requires the volume to be much louder than when listening to the FM Radio. When you start the vehicle, the volume is remembered and will be deafening. The FM radio application is very buggy and it will take several attempts to save your radio presets with an acceptable name. It tries to use the digitally broadcast station information as the preset name, but often it just returns garbage. After trying some twenty times, I was able to get most of my presets to read the frequency and the FCC station name. (ex. 93.1 WPOC).
The touch screen is very disappointing. It's a low-quality restive type which requires that you touch below the point you're aiming for. This makes getting to buttons at the very bottom of the screen a challenge. I tried calibrating the screen, but was sent into and endless loop of touching the cross-hairs...
The "Phone" app has all the bluetooth configuration including pairing, contacts, music, etc. it is very rudimentary. The radio frequently fails to connect to my phone on its own and needs to be forced to connect. Sometimes the play button will start the phone playing music and other times it won't. I haven't found a rhyme or reason for it yet. It doesn't support AVRCP and as such you get three buttons when streaming music over bluetooth: Previous, Play/Pause, and Next. There's no indication of which song is playing nor is there any way to browse the music on the phone from the radio.
Overall, the device is absolutely terrible. Perhaps if I could root it, I could fix a number of its annoying characteristics and it wouldn't be so bad. I was most disappointed by the poor wifi and the FM radio at boot. There is such potential here to make an awesome device... Do not waste your money on this piece of garbage no matter how tempting it may be.
Bought one also !!!
I discovered that the product seems to be sold has with another brand :
http://www.ekoore.com/web/en/product/car-hi-fi-2/elija-2/overview-6.html
The point is that they are providing an update.zip containing files and probably could be used for rooting the device. Found the link http://www.ekoore.it/download/elija/update.zip in the italian forum.
From what I understood, this is a 2.3 device ...
Confirmed mine is 2.3.3
Tried several rooting tools (Z4, GingerBreak, Visonnary+, Universal Androot ...) none of these are working.
Wasn't able to dump the rom (no ADB, used terminal with RomDump V7.2) but found that there is a physical switch inside the box. I can have a message displayed "No signal received", just by starting the device while the switch is pressed. Didn't manage to konow if this is bootloader mode or not.
Found a Quick Start guide explaining how to build kernel and so on http://wendang.baidu.com/view/6545cb13a216147917112879.html
Chip TC8900 seems to be used widely for several chinese tablets. So rooting shouldn't be as difficult as it seems. My guess is that the only way to have it rooted is to modify the update.zip above....but I don't know how to do it !!
From what I understood, the radio, BT etc ... parts are not running Android and are something completely different. The only way to switch to an android environment is to go to navigate mode.
Guys,
I'm surprised, I've had this installed in my car for a couple months now and it works great and I do use it daily and thoroughly.
I have installed Android market (couple of minutes, easy to do), have my email, contacts, everything setup, I even get auto updates for installed apps
Bluetooth pairing with both my HD2's works flawlessly and synced all contacts from both phones
The dedicated iPod interface works great with my 160Gb iPod, I have a USB hub in the glovebox with a 2.5" HDD , WiFi dongle and 3g dongle all connected in.
Navigation doesn't require a data connection, I have a several different SatNav apps installed - some online and some offline, but I stick with Waze as I like it..., Waze unfortunately starts up in portrait but that's easily sorted with a press of the home key and Waze also puts up a single warning about battery being flat, but there's no battery, so what would you expect.....
can also listen to good quality internet radio on the move
If you buy a device like this, you've gotta expect a data connection to be required for initial setup of your apps and how you want them, I've run the device without internet, through my phone and through a 3g dongle.
It works properly and reliably with my original steering wheel controls and the way it sets this up is the best I've seen on a in car device and simplicity itself.
It also boots to the last source being played, in my case normally iPod, but if the iPod etc is missing, then it will default to the radio.
The touchscreen isn't the best in the world, but is very useable, if the alignment is out then recalibrate it by holding the back button until the calibration screen appears..
Only thing I really don't like is if you burn some mp3's to a cd/dvd, they play through the dvd interface, not through the android media players.
I genuinely like the unit, it's a nice toy to have in the car and has no more issues than any other android device I've used...
J
Should say that the FM quality is really awful ! Can't even get the RDS working ...
French translation is missing sereval items (or completly false). Got the wifi + market without too much trouble. The touchscreen is usable.
I definitely love to have it rooted

I've got that stuff from their dealer in Russia, I think juliabrothers.net
Cool device. I loved it sound quality, pure, very sharp image. Very quick response. Yes, the touch screen isn't as good as we used to have on smart phones. Still works o.k. Just look at others DVD player made on Windows CE6.0 platform. They ain't better in anyway.

Could you please give me a hint how you manage to install Market on that thing?
Still working on it. Which Android version do you have? I have 2.2
You see, Android Market which built for smart phones doesn't work very well for CAR stereo devices. That Market doesn't differentiate between "good" and harmful applications, which can shut down your system forever.
Remember most of software designed for smart phones doesn't work under CA-FI platforms. Supplier said so, I 'd be happy to be wrong.....

Is that possible to use that manual for building a kernel, which could be used instead of pre-installed software? Seems interesting. Any thoughts?
Market came from the 2.3.3 build already installed on device. You probably can try the apk within the update archive http://www.ekoore.it/download/elija/update.zip . As the italian website is quite slow i extracted it. From what i understood update seems to not working on all devices.
Regarding the manual, of course I was thinking it could help for anything like root, recovery image or enabling adb. But honestly i don't have enough knowledge to do myself.
Hi Everyone, just found this thread. I have this unit as well and have been building info on the MP3car site about it, overall i'm happy with the unit although i haven't been able to do everything i want to it.
The audio quality for me is good and i can tether data off of my phone to play internet radio and navigate through waze or otherwise. I'd definately like to see some development in this area myself as there are some welcome improvements to be made. i've sideloaded the market but was never able to update it. the player will default to the last built in media that was played when it shuts down and there seems to be several volume streams built in, i've heard people haven't been able to adjust these with volume apps.
here is the MP3car thread: http://www.mp3car.com/android-tablet/150109-innotrends-ca-fi-on-order-will-review.html
Upon request, here is the update zip from the italian forum. Rename from update.zip to elira-update.zip
elija-update.html
I recently purchased and installed the Ca-Fi "Universal" 620 to replace my JVC head unit that died after 5 years. Because there isn't much information out there about this product, not even from the manufacture, I thought I'd provide the good and bad from an audiophiles perspective(...and I only coin the term audiophile because I have a full on sound system in my car, not because I'm into the lossless debates and all that BS).
The Bad (or the ugly):
-Has an individual RCA jack for subwoofer output. (left/right(white/black, red) is pretty standard. Now I have to buy a sum'er to join the channels. What if I had two subs running left and right channels of bass...I'd be up a creek and would have to buy splitter then a line driver...blah come on.
-Although there is individual subwoofer level control there is no subwoofer (low) frequency control. So, my lows that run to my subwoofer are the lows that will run to my speakers and I can’t do this cause my front stage was meant for highs and mids.
-The Graphic EQ, although having 10+ frequency to set they provide automatic roll off of nearby frequencies so, it's hard to fine tune.If you’re going to give me that many frequencies then please let me control each one of them.
-The balance controls (and all other touch screen sliders)were OK but, they sorely need increase/decrease buttons (i.e. “+” and “-“). Trying to configure a good sound stage is hard with resistive touch screen sliders.
-The P.CNTL (I assume Power Control, again no documentation) is switched off and on when you change sources (or I think actually when no sound is “sensed”) whaa? So now, because my amps have delayed starts, each time I switch a source (or Pandora even buffers a new song) the relay power drops to my amps and I have to wait for my amps to power up again. Not to mention the pops because of the high current switching on and off..man. So now I have to find an off delay relay so my amps don't turn off when I change the source. Now I could very well be the idiot on this one and need to use the P.ANT (I assume power antenna) but, the reason I didn’t is because P.ANT is solid blue wire, whereas P.CNTRL is a blue with white strip which is more industry standard for relay control.
-The boot up source is always going to the Radio. I read some other folks already discuss that here and there but, come on, really, you can't just remember the last source I had.
-Bluetooth (or lack thereof) yes, it will play your music from your phone (in my case HTC Sensation) but, that's about it. If I want to change an artist or song or whatever I have to do it from my phone. I thought it would have this to make me a safer driver so I don't have to look/mess with my phone to get new songs, guess that's what I get for assuming?
-Auto screen Dimmer doesn't work or isn't that great cause I still have to manually dim the screen at night.
-Resistive touchscreen I gotta hammer the screen to push buttons. Each push takes my attention away from the road, no bueno!
-Wifi doesn't support WEP or WPA no biggie since I'm driving and I don't think hackers do drive by hackings (or do they?). But, still sucks cause when I use it at the airport I have to turn it back on. Just a nuisance but, wifi WILL tether (provided you buy the additional USB Wifi Adapter).
-Some Apps don't recognize my wifi connection and thus will not work. Case in point, Google Maps. wft! the whole reason I got the thing was to wifi tether with my phone and control goolge maps from ca-fi. Nope can't do it. booo.
-Double DIN – not really. I don’t know what standards they followed but, my original brackets from my original Double DIN HU (head unit) didn’t work. The unit sticks out so far my radio door won’t close and there’s a gap of about .25 inches on both sides. No install kits will work with this because it’s not truly a standard Double DIN.
The Good
-The bluetooth phone capabilities work good. Contact list is ok. Of course it sucks for me because of the whole P.CNTRL thing. Yes, when I switch to Phone it turns off and on my amps…grrr.
-Mini SD card slots and a miniUSB port in front, very nice/convenient.
-System isn’t as slow as one might think for such a “slow” processor. My HTC Sensation runs circles around this thing ;p.
-Nice interface for the radio.
-You can run Apps. Although a lot of them crash (i.e. Force Close) every now and then for no apparent reason.
-Pandora works (with wifi tether) very nicely.
-Push button (knob) for mute and knob volume control.
….that’s all I’ve got for now but, so far the goods don’t out weight the bads so, I’m not happy with regards to the amount of money I spent vs. what I’m getting vs. what actually works. I’m not upset because I went into this fully knowing I was going to be a guinea pig but, if you’re a music first, apps and other **** second, kind of person like me steer clear my friends.
Not that any manufacture ever cares or even reacts to forum post, I’m going to try and communicate this to the manufacture and hopefully see if a) they’re aware of these issues and b)if they plan to release fixes/patches to help their “new adopters” out. Don’t get me wrong this company has a great product and great idea but, they’re seriously mistaken if they think they can compete with the big boys (Android Apps or no Android Apps).
What do jou Guys/girls think about this product....... http://www.chinavasion.com/2-din-ca...chable-android-23-tablet-panel-wifi-gps-dvbt/
I find it very interesting
Guys, I'm back again with another dumb question.
While running ICS 4.0.4 on my HTC One X, I was very happy that the phone was connecting to each computer as external USB storage.
Lately the phone received the JB update, which made the OS 4.1.1
Since then, when I connect the phone to Mac it requires Android File Transfer, which is simply POS from my point of view; totally impractical.
And when I connect the phone to Windows, it behaves like a camera but like Android File Transfer window, quite useless and file types are not being recognized properly, icons look different then what they actually are, etc...
What happened to the phone, anyone knows?
Android upgrade changes the previous nice connection type, I guess...
But is there any chance to go back to that type of connection while running JB?
Cheers.
Both my wife and I have the Verizon S4 (latest stock/unrooted). While connected to the same PC, mine gets recognized as a media device and I am able to copy/move files on both the phone memory and external sd card. But my wife's phone just gets recognized as a modem and no drive appears.
Can someone help resolve this issue, please?
------
1. Doesn;t seem to be a driver issue on the PC since one phone gets recognized correctly and both phone are exactly the same models.
2. Tried different USB cables and ports. One phone works in all these hardware change scenarios.
3. I verified the phone settings on both phones side by side but couldn't find anything obvious.(I am still hopeful that this is something silly that I missed). I have enabled developer options on both and played with enabling/disabling USB debugging but doesn't help.
With the recent Kitkat fiasco with SD Cards, our 16GB phone memories were full and we can't seem to move files on the phone itself. Hence we need to use the PC. I was able to move media files to the SD and free up space using the PC. But I can't seem to do the same thing on my wife's phone.

With the recent Kitkat fiasco with SD Cards, our 16GB phone memories were full and we can't seem to move files on the phone itself. Hence we need to use the PC. I was able to move media files to the SD and free up space using the PC. But I can't seem to do the same thing on my wife's phone.

It sounds like your wife's phone may be set to the wrong Qualcomm USB mode.
I have no idea if it will work on Kitkat, but try dialing ##DMMODE# and see if you can access the usb mode setting. Look at what it is on the working one and change it to match on the non-working one, if it is different.
Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you very much!!!! That was the issue. DM MODE was enabled on my wife's phone and not on mine. Disabling DM MODE made my phone getting recognized as a Media device.
Thanks again and a special one for the quick reply and help stop me from going bald .... I was just pulling my hair bad
