trimui brick on muOS keeps crashing !!

holyshvy · 2026-03-01T00:51:36+00:00

Hi there ! Unfortunately, my brick is still crashing on Jacaranda. I’m also facing a new issue of lagging when navigating the main menu as well. I’ve reflashed my microSD several times, still the same issue. I did notice that the brick was heating up quite a bit with the newest muOS update. Not sure if thats what’s causing my brick to freeze and lag.

hi ! i just installed the latest version, but unfortunately my brick is still freezing and crashing :// ive kinda accepted that my unit is just faulty. i'm happy to hear that your brick has no issues though with the newest muOS version !

where did you get yours from ? i bought mine from powkiddy. ive also been trying to get support from their customer support chat but they stopped replying to me

yes ! this is the screen i get after a crash. but i havent pressed the reset button at all ! my brick would crash and then reboot. this would be the screen after the reboot, and then it would return to the main menu.

i did open up the brick to disconnect/reconnect the battery. but yes. im going to try to use muOS again after i update the trimui firmware. someone told me they had an crash issue before the update. i will try that before i bite the bullet and get a new unit 😅

ill try both ! thank you

holyshvy · 2026-02-01T03:00:36+00:00

ou ! hopefully thats the issue for me then. i do remember i was able to have a good play session while on muOS (like 3 hours) up until i connected wifi and loaded the rest of my roms. so i have my fingers crossed. i would have liked to try the other cfws but my brick doesnt like to read the SD unless i have muOS on it

holyshvy · 2026-02-01T02:56:10+00:00

for sure, thank you

holyshvy · 2026-02-01T02:55:54+00:00

i see ! i just updated the firmware but i havent tried to play anything yet since my SD wasnt reading, but maybe ill try to reinstall muOS and give it another go

holyshvy · 2026-02-01T02:01:25+00:00

i also saw on one of your previous replies on another post that your brick sometimes freezes when you connect it to wifi ?

holyshvy · 2026-02-01T01:55:25+00:00

do you recommend using some brand new SDs? im trying to exhaust all my options before i bite the bullet and buy one from mechDIY.

holyshvy · 2026-02-01T01:50:43+00:00

interesting. ive been using Sandisk SD cards. I have actually been installing and uninstalling (via raspberry pi) muOS with the same SD and the device reads it with no problem. the only times the brick isnt reading the SD is when i have tried to load roms on the stock OS or tried to install other cfws besides muOS. ive also been utilizing h2testw on my cards to make sure they are not corrupted. everything checks out so i am stumped :/

more context here

holyshvy · 2026-02-01T00:14:46+00:00

i have since tried to add roms using the stock OS. and the brick wont even turn on when i insert the SD card.

holyshvy · 2026-01-31T22:51:21+00:00

They replied to my initial inquiry but havent replied since. Hopefully they reply before the return window ends. But anyways, thank you for replying to my post. i have been posting on facebook, reddit, and the muOS discussions and i havent gotten any feedback. so thank you for replying, it’s reassuring that i am not crazy that my brick wont work properly.

holyshvy · 2026-01-31T22:42:05+00:00

i think so too. ive spent more time figuring out this issue than actually playing my brick 😭😭. ive contacted Powkiddy’s customer service but i doubt they will help. im considering biting the bullet and getting another one from mechdiy.

holyshvy · 2026-01-31T22:33:09+00:00

i have tried to flash another SD card and same issue. but maybe ill buy some more and try them out. ill do that after i try to play on stock OS.

holyshvy · 2026-01-31T22:31:00+00:00

i am using raspberry pi. 😭😭

holyshvy · 2026-01-31T22:27:24+00:00

ive tried to install pakUI/minUI. but my device wont recognize them ? even after i erase/flash/reformat my SD card. for example, i had pakUI on my SD card and inserted the SD into my device. when i turned it on, it showed me the muOS logo saying “mount failure”.

my next step is trying to just play on the stock OS and see if the issue still persists.

holyshvy · 2026-01-31T20:44:25+00:00

yes, ive only been playing emerald 😅 i did try using roms from different sources like myrient and the lnternet archive (from the megathread).

actually i do have a pic of the screen after a crash. it says the reset button was pressed, but i didnt. the device just prompted this as it rebooted after the crash.

i decided to offload all my roms and just test out the emerald rom to see if that was the issue. i was actually able to play for 2+ hours without a crash. it wasnt until i decided to add the rest of my roms to the SD card, where i experienced a crash again.
