DUDE!!!! You are a goddamn hero! Was already busy downloading several android systems trying to figure out how to install them, but the keyboard did the trick! Thanks so much for not letting me spend hours figuring out how to install it again.

Dude... This has been stressing me out for the past 7 days. Thank you so much!!!! I thought I had defective keys. AGAIN. THANK YOU!

What a legend, I was thinking my unit was toast and was going to buy a new one. This worked great and I can't believe it was so simple, thank you for posting this up.

Thank you soooo much for making this video. Google several other youtube videos but their system is slightly different than ours. I had the same situation where the touch screen didn’t respond to my fingers. I also try plugging in a usb keyboard and still didn’t work. I was about to give up and saw your video and saw that you were able to make it work with a usb keyboard. So this time I actually had the usb keyboard plugged in before turning on the system. IT WORKED!!!! So it made a difference for me when the keyboard was plugged in. If i plugged in while the system was on it didn’t see the keyboard. Weird…such a niche product so I really appreciate you taking the time to make the video.

I have a 10inch UGAR unit. Was playing with developer options and had the secondary screen screens all outta wack. Couldn’t figure out how to get it to go away. And I find your video. Grab my dongle and keyboard from desktop.. BACK IN BIZ! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 you’re the man

thanks for the video solved my issue as well but just a NOTE; for people who doesn't have reset on the device like the mercedes GLK devices a reset can be done by removing the cables to battery for 5 seconds and put it back

This worked for me. I just pressed the reset button with the keyboard plugged in, then just bashed ENTER 5 or 6 times. The screen then glitched, so I stopped, and the unit opened up as normal. Nothing was lost, and now works fine. Thanks

I was not able to enter the recovery mode…your trick to use the keyboard actually worked for me I was not able to touch anything on screen and then i used the keyboard and able to reset the device thanks a lot man….🙏🏻👍

Thank you for your video and explanation. I did try the USB wired keyboard method but the unit would not recognize it, therefore I couldn't restart the *try again* After emailing seller, he advised to simply slide one finger up or down in the screen ( as your video shows) if you need to change function of reboot . Then slide finger left or right to simulate the ENTER . I just swiped finger left to right as system was on *try again* prompt and it worked. Hope I've helped someone who has similar issues.

Thanks for the video, came across it looking up that's on my px5 because it was 'stuck' on this screen as well and thought I had to replace it. Saved me 600+ bucks.

Thank you! For me, the keyboard didnt work at first, I kept it plugged in and clicked the RST button, after it restarted I was able to click Try again with my keyboard and it started working again.

My system didn't load further than logo and i also got stuck at recovery screen, not being able to move or select anything, but thanks to your video i remembered i had seen an usb coming out somewhere and plugged my wireless usb in and could get it to work again !

For others, in future, you don't need a keyboard. Tapping the screen will toggle through menu, and long tapping the screen will choose what is currently highlighted.

Plugged in the keyboard, wouldn't respond. Pushed the reset on the front of the radio, nothing. Pulled the radio fuse, waited 30s. Turned the radio on, keyboard worked, problem solved. Thanks for sharing the information.

I'm trying to figure out how to get into that screen and cant figure it out!

Holy crap!! Thank you! I’ve been down for two days now. Going to fix right away.

The keyboard didn’t work for me but balboa1203’s comment did. Joying Snapdragon unit. The trick was extremely long full screen swipes up and down to move the selection and a long full screen swipe to the right to indicate enter. 3/4 length swipes weren’t enough. I selected “try again” and it started right up.

Hey I have a problem with mine, it's in a continuous loop on the boot up screen. Even to using the pin to restart doesn't work need help

Can you force recovery mode using a keyboard? My rst button doesn't seem to let me access recovery mode

Thanks for the info, just incase anyone was wondering, I hit many combinations of screen corners and it rebooted not sure which one worked. I think it might be top left bottom left bottom right top right.

Thank you man. You saved my life. I've been trying to do something similar to my head unit. The only difference is that my screen turned completely black. When I plugged the keyboard I was able to use more functions like trigger google assistant. It took me to settings and I did a backup and reset

Nice video. Came across it while looking for a solution to a different problem, but on my head unit, clicking the reset button factually allows me to scroll through the options and holding it allows me to select an option. Not the same unit but a similar one.

I never thought it would work. Thank you very much. You are king

Mine is frozen on the Android loading screen. I’ve tried factory reset and still staying on the screen any help? Before I take it to shop Thursday!?

Thanks you I was ordered another radio but is fixed thank you very much

Thanks alot. Had the same issue the buttons not working. Got mine to reset with a pin using the reset button 👍

But how get the factory reset screen. I am trying to get that factory reset screen.

I have the same problem and i try to use many keyboards but non of them works ! Is there another way to fix it ? Thanks

Thank you so much for the video What about I have the same the same screen but a few minutes later my screen was the black so now I don't know what to do

I got this screen on my mobile device (UleFone Armor 9) and I thought everything was gone from my device. I just ended up turning the device off and on again and it started up the way it normally does. No idea why it happened, but it's fixed now. First it was Windows with the "blue screen of death" and now we have the Android "black screen of death" haha

Very logical but there was still to think about... Thank you very much.

hey I'm strongly considering one of these units in my 2015 Rubicon. What do you think of it, how long have you had it, and do you recommend it?

Mine was showing DSP not responding. I could access anything. After watching the video. I got a pin poked the RST and it went blank 😅. I poked it and waited for 2seconds and boom it’s restarted and everything is working fine

Thanks man! I have this problem also, I had to downgrade back to the old nav. I will try your solution, I strongly hope that will work. Thxs again!

My god! Thanks from Merida Yucatán! You save my life jajajaj

I also have a10inch ugar when I start my car the stereo made a loud beep now the stereo is asking for a password. How can I fix this?

On my stereo there is a car setting thing where in the settings you had to relearn the keys and there is a spot also to illuminate the keys but you still have to calibrate the keys or called touch learning

Excuse me. Is there any way to save file after cleaning the data?🙏

Good video. My android radio is stuck on the android boot logo, I don’t get the screen with all of the text no matter how many times I reset it. I’ll try the keyboard trick anyway, thanks.

Thanks bro this helped, I pluged in my usb mouse, I didn't have a keyboard around but it did the trick 😅😅

I just got this issue!! Great idea! I will try to fix mine! Just another issue I have, and wanna know it you felt the same.. I experienced a lot of radiofrequency interference on my VHF radio and I realize that the main cause is the head unit, so I used some ferrite and installed a on/off button on acc for communication on week signals on VHF. Regards.

You're the man of the day! It works again😍

thank you.. I was wondering what I am supposed to do with no buttons working.... thanks.. would have never thought to try that

Hello from Russia, thanks its work

This is for real the best headache preventer.... until you try to press the reset button with an harbor freight pick. It cracked my screen😢😢😢😢, get a paper clip, or something small and dont be in my shoes. (Btw for me 1 reset click move the selection up and down and a long press acted as Enter, also i can connect a mouse to the port and the scroll button on the mouse moves the selection up n down, honda civic)

Good lord, are we really back to this, teaching people how to reset their devices when there is a button which says reset? Good video though, just wish it wasn’t needed lol.

when i hit reset button the recovery mode screen won't show up and when I did factory reset it's just rebooting the system

the USB plugs INTO the back of the head unit? Or where exactly is the usb coming from? I have one just like yours and mine didn't come with an USB cable like that.

I have same radio but having a different issue my keeps rebooting over and over I tried reset and still rebooting has this happen to you

I LOVE U MAN. THANKS A MILLION!!!!!! U SAVED ME a 1000 headaches.

Hey guys and girls, im having the same problem, i have a Jeep '15 and it worked fine for 2 weeks and then when i turned on the car, it just the " Android loading" ive done the papercllip., 5-10-30 second hold and nothing n it just keeps reliading

I tried with my keyboard but still nothing seems to be working. Open to suggestions.... Please help

Thanks for the video, solved my issue!

Atenção vc que esta procurando comentário Brasileiro!😂 Eu pesquisei em inglês o problema e vim parar aqui tbm.. Ao contrário do tio ai eu usei um controle de videogame usb generico e funcionou da mesma forma. Mas tem um detalhe q acho q nao foi mencionado: vc pressiona uma tecla e muda de seleção, mantém pressionado e a opção colorida muda de cor e é selecionado ao soltar o botão. Fica a dica e nao se desespere! Boa sorte a todos.

What if you accidentally hit factory reset, and now mostly all apps are gone. I see apk installer and about 12other apps. But how do you install google chrome or any web browser so that I can download other apps?

This video is so useful!! Thank you..Can you tell me how if my android failed to updated?how should i do?

I don't have any little hole for the rest. My 2017 Honda pilot head unit stopped working when I tried to Honda hack it!!! Any suggestions? My screen works for back up camera and shows Honda link when I first turn it on but then goes black... Tried every button combination, nothing works. Disconnected battery to try and force reset, nothin! Please someone help!!!

my head unit is type alwinner T3L. ram 2+32gb...damaged since I changed the initial display logo with a photo format....how is the solution....reinstall the firmware where can I get it...can find me the T3L firmware ?please🙏

I tried the keyboard , but it does not work in bootloader. I can not select other options in bootloader.

How do I enter recovery mode? please help me

Please help... My unit was working for months now all of a sudden the sound keeps switching on and off every 3 seconds, streaming from the phone or playing direct from unit its the same fault. Its gotta be something simple but I can find what it is 🙈🙈🙈🙏🙏

Today I was met by this problem, thanks for help

where did you plug the keyboard in? I don't have a usb port in my glove box. I have 2 USB ports on the DIN2 radio itself, but only the wireless mouse reacts to the radio. I can then switch back and forth between try again and recovery, but I can't select it. I despair. Unfortunately, I only have this wireless mouse and keyboard with the USB connector. both should respond to the USB plug. but only the mouse does it... if I click with the mouse, nothing happens

This is not working for me with the keyboard. After pressing reset buttin with a paperclip the unit shoe me the reset option because of my buttons not working I cant choose or scroll down on the screen. Pls help.

My unit remains stuck at the white “android” writing and does nothing... 😞 i am trying for months to get to your screen hoping that factory will get everything fixed but i did not managed to get to your screen. CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY ADVICE HOW TO GET TO YOUR SCREEN WITH THE FACTORY RESET?! I tried with keyboard but dunno if there are some buttons that can bring up your screen.. Thank you. PLEASE RESPOND

What version of android are installed on GPS?

Okay well I figured out how to do and thank you so much I would not have been able to do it without a keyboard as well

Hi thereI hope you can help out I got a android 11 and tried to update it but the screen just froze and took no commands so I pressed the rst button it shut down and did not turn back on again....any idea to why? Any help?

For days ive been Iooking on the internet for solutions to my philips android tv, i installed usb with wipedatatool, i tried to do update from usb with original firmware, i tried to reboot, i tried to find the wipe data in the bootloader but it isnt there (i even tried 1-2-x-4 method) i can only choose REBOOT NOW or UPDATE FROM EXTERNAL but when i choose one of those 2 options i get a black screen with android laid on its back and saying NO COMMAND. I cant acces the tv with ADB neither because the usb debugging wasnt enabled before i lost acces to the tv. Its a Philips 7600 series LED I dont know what to do anymore help!

Please, I could really do with your help. I have a siecane android car radio that gives me no sound everything else works , I get no sound from the Bluetooth even though it is paired, please do you have any idea what is causing this.

Hello any idea how to make Google and Google play to work I just get checking info spinning after putting my user ID and password.

Thanks for these idea... More power to your youtube channel

Sir hard reset?

Great! It works even with usb wifi keyboard.

Thnks im gonna try this Is the first time that it happen to me im in México in a volkswagen jetta

Hello ! My seicane doesn’t start after changing the start logo. I think that I have to flash it or reset it to factory settings, does any one know how to access this menu ? Thank you

Very very thanks bro !!! I'm French 😊

Have you had any other problems with this stereo. I know you have had it for a little time now and was seeing it it was still working like it should

I had lost youtube and playstore from my car android touch scree.youtube n playstore is not visible on screen.i am not able to run youtube and playstore.

Obviously it would not have helped you in this situation, but it makes me wonder if a Bluetooth keyboard can be paired up. I have the 2nd gen seicane too (thanks to your video series on it) the only thing I did different was I added a 8 channel RCA switch to run my back up cams. your ordeal here hasn't happened to me yet... but it'll be nice to know I can recover if it does, thanks!

The quad t3 p1 device after I formatted it became stable on the word Android and does not continue reading. I hope you have a solution

What mapping software are you using on the Seicane now? I'm struggling with my current map software.

uuff.. thanks!! you saved me. I hope it doesn't do it again.

Greetings from germany, Super Tipp! Vielen Dank für die rettende Idee!

My unit will not boot up at all it's showing the boot but won't boot please help

You my man...... are a savior without cape

What if i cant get into the factory reset menu?

hi im trying to conect my car multimedia to a keyboard; i pluged it in and still not responding to the keyboard can anyone help ????

By chance do you or anybody that has posted here have any idea how to get out of simulate secondary displays of 4K? I tried the keyboard it works on the main screen but when I try to go to settings it doesn't do anything and for some reason I can't get it into recovery

Now when I turn my screen on the only thing that pops up is Android I even resetted it multiple times and it only says Android

tengo un problema no me reconoce el teclado, que marca de teclado utilizo? gracias

How can I pass the recovery mode? Is there any video sample?

hey dude i have tried but my keyboard does not wor

Question: can the Seicane display two apps side-by-side in a split screen format, like the newer Android phones can?

Is this applicable to my android head unit? It got stuck on boot logo for several days
