  1. sorry for the delay, it's been a buys week at work. I found the SD card inside the unit but as I guessed it's PW protected and I don't know how to extrapolate the PW from the new unit / old unit to unlock it. I don't even know if this would resolve the issue but at least it would be 100% 4100 SW on a 4000 instead of a partial upgrade like the FW seems to be. I need to be able to sell one of my units so I hesitate in destroying them any further haha. Also I have had no luck getting anyone interested on XDA...
  2. Screen swapping won't work, I know this because thats the safety feature of the devices. you take the head unit off when leaving your vehicle and if someone steals your radio, its useless, they can't just buy another and use that, it has to be paired.
  3. Hey guys update time, I just bought a 4100NEX to upgrade to but while I have both I'll be comparing the differences physically to see what is happening here. So far I can boot to 1.08 (4000) on my 4100 and experience similar problems as the other way around so I really am starting to think that they changed some of the hardware and didn't make it clear. The big difference is the screen. not so much the resolution but the presentation. on the 4100 the screen is actually glass like, not that "film" of plastic on the 4000. Its very dense and gloss like in finish not matte. This is the
  4. so I spent the weekend playing around with the open source files pioneer uploads and I just don't know enough about android to really get it yet. Anyone here know anything about compiling android code or work with AOSP? I posted on XDA a while back but didn't hear anything.
  5. its a short somewhere. I'd almost guarantee it. Check the grounding wire for the HU as well as speaker wires, make sure they are well insulated. If you can. Pull the HU and take some pictures of the wiring (if possible. I know sometimes the wiring is tight).
  6. thinking about trading out as well unless we can find a way to open the firmware files (which we wont cause they are compiled so are most likely just binary noise with a bunch of placeholder 0's and nonsense). I have plenty of programming experience but none in android / compiling android. But all of their code is published as open source, so I feel we have everything we need, I just don't have the right experience for this code. http://www.oss-pioneer.com/car/multimedia/files/avic-5000nex/index.htmlcode for our units (X000NEX) http://www.oss-pioneer.com/car/multimedia/files/avic-
  7. somewhat how I expected it to work with the "recovery" file in the firmware but interesting still. I wonder if doing the full 1.03 upgrade and then reverting the bluetooth back to 1.08 (just bluetooth) does anything? If not than it may be something higher level than the bluetooth...
  8. anyone know how to contact this fail0verflow site? seems this is right up there alley, and since the tools are all laid out i'm wondering if we can entice them to take a look.
  9. so about this whole open source thing.... http://www.oss-pioneer.com/car/multimedia/files/avic-5000nex/index.html http://www.oss-pioneer.com/car/multimedia/files/avic-5100nex/index.html if this is separate from the firmware, as my understanding of this post after a very brief read makes me think it might be. https://fail0verflow.com/blog/2014/enhancing-the-avic-5000nex-pt2.html How do we use the OS files to get the 4000 up to date. I mean hell if its all out there, how do we get it onto the 4000?
  10. agreed.... BUTTTT at the same time I prefer their looks and final products over the competition any day. Nothing looks as good or runs as smooth in my opinion. I just hate the life cycle. thats mostly due to it being a small market and lack of competition though.
  11. another interesting find about the bluetooth audio... wonder if anyone else has noticed this. If I play SXM and then try to load pandora (via bluetooth), I get so no sounds obviously, but when I return to SXM the volume is SUPER muted. at full blast i can now barely hear SXM playing. Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it really is just bluetooth or if its something bigger with audio management in the system... Thoughts?
  12. hey guys so sorry i've been AFK, been busy at work. I completely agree about getting to a recovery mode, and whomever posted the screens of the HW versions I was curious about checking this as well. The interesting thing is that under Bluetooth there is a separate option for update Bluetooth software (or something very similar) but I have not seen a separate Bluetooth software update from pioneer to try anything with. I don't think i'm ballsy enough to try to FORCE the update to fail haha... My thoughts are that it keeps a backup of the image locally before installing the new OS and i
  13. damn, well since everyone is having problems, even on identical models (8100 = 8000 part for part right????) im not sure what to take away from that. I'll try a few more things out but we may be SOL unless pioneer releases another FW for the X100 series that plays nicer. unless of course someone far more talented than I can open the .prj files, but I assume these are just packages for compiled code and won't make any sense regardless of how it is opened.
  14. not quite sure to be honest. It seems like any audio that comes from the phone doesn't quite work right. its strange.
  15. all files are up for 4000 6000 and 8000 again, let me know what problems you guys see.
  16. 8100 back to 8000 is up. I'll check to see if the 7100 has a FW out yet, if so Im sure its the same and can try it. anyone who tries on a device other than the 4000 can you please let me know if you are experiencing audio issues from the phone as well???
  17. yea I'll work on it now and get it and the 6000 up
  18. jump back should be super easy. And yes CarPlay audio will not work either as this too is over Bluetooth i believe. I think everything comes back to that Bluetooth Audio "off" not being able to be triggered to "on". If we can get around that then we should have a pretty solid build.
  19. 8000 to 8100 file: http://www.filedropper.com/8000to8100 I'll be posting these links on the front page too for easy access
  20. Another Interesting find..... not only is the structure the same, the files appear to be identical as well. I can't 100% confirm this but it would be interesting if a gen 1 FW was the same for all devices and just model # specific.
  21. alright guys I'm going to post up what I have so far since I now have a way to go back to 1.08 after further playing around the process is a bit easier than I originally thought. All you need to do is take the firmware you want to flash and change the names of the files and folders to that of what version the device THINKS it is. for example. if going from 4000 to 4100, the 1.03 FW is named AVIC5100NEX, this needs to be AVIC5000NEX. inside this folder there are a bunch of other files and folders with the name 150 in it, every 150 must be changed to a 140 so that the NEX4000 thinks it i
