Just wanted to to an update comment - did this 3 days ago and everything is working perfectly since, people can finally hear me on bluetooth calls, bluetooth streaming works perfectly and no more crashing.Nowhere on whole damn internet could I find any info on this issue… You sir deserve a huge thank you from all of us! 🥰
Thank you so much you just saved me $250 USD. I accidently turned on DEV option with Duplicate Screen Simulation that is sized greater than original. I knew I was in trouble. You saved me. On 8227L model, only difference for me is I used an older firmware loaded to a USB thumbdrive. Tapping on the screen forced it to load. Then flash back to latest firmware. Now I'm back to normal.
Similar headunit, crushes quite often. In the user manual says there's a hard reset mode in car infotaiment section, but there you only find a config reset, that even doesn´t reset anything, unit restarts and everything remains the same lol. Thanks a lot for this option mate!
Thank you so much! I was about to trash this HU because it kept getting cluttered with data I couldn't even manage. You literally saved me money since I was planning to buy a new unit. Now it's been brought back to life. Cheers, man!
Thanks mate, my head unit was chrashing on bluetooth connection after like 2 minutes, pulled the entire thing and checked over all the hardware before i found your vid. Saved me shelling out for a new head unit
Thank you so much. The five fingers was the key. I was completely lost into new firmwares, systems boots and every thing was solved with the 5 fingers.
Have a similar model in my BMW E46 and ive been having Bluetooth connectivity issues, headunit kept crashing and restarting every few minutes when using Bluetooth and this video did the trick. Definitely a big help. Thank you for the video 🙏

Not mentioned anywhere in instructions that came with it. It seems you can just wait it to boot when the android-logo comes. It will happen eventually.

@what's dave done I'm glad you figured it out, what a way haha. Side note though, Eonon made a video themselves of how to do it on this model 2 years ago and when the android logo freezes, if you wait a few minutes (was about 4 or 5 for me) it loads in. Good video though!
What are these no-name Android units with the volume/select knobs like compared to branded ones like Eonon? Considering something for my T5 van. These ones are much cheaper and I like the idea of physical buttons and volume control.
No name no branded tend to run fake software and are not what are advertised. No name don't come with any warranty and no firmware updates. Obviously is upto you but I would avoid cheap none branded units....there will no no customer service if you need help.

So sometimes returns to the radio or CD normally, and then switches back to the reverse camera, which is very irritating. When I deactivate the parking brake (by pressing the P button) everything is as it should be. There must be something confusing it via the canbus decoder, and I tried all the possible settings and nothing.
Very odd that it just randomly thinks it's in reverse when it's not 🤔 how have you got your reverse camera wired, where are you getting power for the camera from?
Your suggestion worked (with 5 fingers). However, it is nothing more than the "erasing" image. I waited more than 30 minutes each time with image "erasing". Is there any solution? I'm very grateful.

Have you tried hitting the reset button after approximately 30 seconds of it showing erasing?
@@whatsdavedone104 Unfortunately it didn't resolve. It continues "eternally" in the image of "erasaing" (the circles are always in motion, the image does not stop). Any solution via USB? Thank you for your attention and help.
@VitorFernandes-Portugal what happens if you disconnect the power from the head unit, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in?
What unit is it?
@@whatsdavedone104 ALPS500 for BMW E53 (X5). I will test with a power cut (in the previous test I used the reset button). That error message (with yellow and red letters) was EXACTLY the same as what appeared. But now I used all 5 fingers and it goes to "erasing" (but it doesn't go beyond that). Very thanks for you help. Update: I've already done the test by cutting the power and it's the same thing.
@@whatsdavedone104 Everything is the same. It's nothing more than the "erasing" image... Is there any way to boot/reinstall via USB? Thank you for your attention. Update: Model is ALPS 8227L HIFI 2G+32G
THANK YOU A LOT
Another unit saved 🙌
Congratulations, good video
Thanks bro 🙏🏼
No problem 😊
I did that with mine because my software, system ui keep crashing(not responding). But after erasing process it stuck on boot logo. Help, how to fix it.
When stuck at boot logo have you tried hitting the manual reset button and let it reboot again?

Tried that on my headunit but only got "please check usb and files". This happend with 3,4 and 5 fingers. Without tapping it just reboot. Anyone have an idea with how many more fingers or where to tap
Try 3 fingers from 1 hand and 2 from other
@@whatsdavedone104 tried with 7 fingers with both hamds and it worked :D
I got the samedi error ! This error msg let supposing we should have the firmware files in USB. I Nevers succeded to get this !!!
Then I turn off the power, then pushibg RST for 10s + turn on the power + 5 fingers =》the headunit does hard reset itself !
So I suppose for this ROM there is not at all recovery menu where you can chose reset factory or update firmware from USB
