Could you please post the dmcu.cfg file you use? It's the file generated when you go into factory settings (126 is the bassword) and click backup. Would help a lot

Thank you so much, I'll try it as soon as I can. Much appreciated

Dam didn't work... The pattern seems to be the unit resets when waking if it's in the morning/cold? Starting during the day wakes just fine, maybe bad wiring

Is it maybe good? Yeah or nah?

I'm currently using Android 9 with a Xtron HU px5, and I would like to know if anyone knows how to fix the bug's that I currently have (also had the on 8.0)
*Accesebility settings getting disabled for apps on every start (after HY resumes from sleeping)
*GSP lock too slow (more than 1 min)

How were you able to install Android 9? I have a Xtrons TE706PL and attempted to install the MALAYSK Rom and it failed - Now I have nada! I can force the unit into recovery but have nothing that will install... What MCU does your unit have? I installed The MTCE_KGL 3.10 and now am unsure whether that is a good MCU for the unit... Do you have the actual Android 8 Xtrons firmware available? I have nothing to return to...

You can find the stock firmware over here:

RockChip PX5 Android 8.0
RockChip PX5 Android 9.0
depends on the version you want to flash.
Xtron brand correspond to "GS" subfolder

If you can boot to recovery (I used MALAYSK usb to boot to android 9 recovery) then flashed the update.zip

TE706iPL

Well, this thing is on sale late 2019 and I bought 2!

ROM & Firmware is from December 2018. Any point to upgrade ROM & MCU?

Only AM radio doesn't work I am guessing it's the PRC AM radio frequency thing... My Acura has an amplified antenna but leaving the Antenna power disconnected actually gets better FM reception.

Anything (worthwhile) I can get by upgrading Android 8 Oreo to Android 9 Pie? HU heat is a primary concern it gets HOT in the desert, so no MALYASK ROM for me! Cheers!
edit: Ok I see MX ROM have split screen and google voice dialer... anything else good???

I've just in the last week thrown the Malaysk 3.5 ROM into my 706PL. Everything works very well, the dark themed Launcher is the best looking, but the standard Music app. isn't anywhere near as good as the one I'm using now, called 'Pulsar'. Another great feature of the ROM is the screensaver, which shows vehicle speed, weather, a very nice looking analog clock and information about whatever song is playing in the Pulsar music app.

Only thing I'd ask the developers of that ROM for would be a one-touch way to switch the screen off while a music player continues in background. I do a lot of my driving at night, and a bright screen in a cabin that I prefer to be as dark as possible just isn't my cup of tea.

Take a read through this thread...

and you may just find the Pie you're looking for.

Best wishes to you.

Updated to Android 9

I updated MCU 3.40 and to Android 9. It was so easy on this unit. Day and night mode is nice but the lowest brightness setting is still too bright, I thought 9 improved the setting to be more linear... Speed was fine and everything worked. UPDATE: GPS doesnt seem to work with the MX HCT4 ROM... Gonna try GS's ISD 9.0 version again...

Update 2:
Well, the ROM upgrade process gave me a scare, I checked clear and format flash and the screen went black with no activities after it prompted to remove SD card.

I finally had to turn ignition off, press reset and turn on ignition, hold for 10 seconds until the buttons flash, release reset, and then press reset again. Unit booted into HAL9K and I was able to load upgrade.zip.

MX/HCT4 ROM vs GS/ISD ROM, turns out I just needed to sign into my google account for GPS to work. MX rom has bright/dark mode switch which is nice, but GS's newer ROM has better layout and easier to access shortcuts on Home page for me. Both side by side window mode works. Xtron DVR works after installing included apk on the DVR itself.

Still no AM reception I think I need the harness set for antenna ground. Also will be connecting steering wheel remote to key 1 and ground key 2.

My car has built in Sub Amp and 10" Sub, hooked to rear speaker wires I believe. Sub doesn't seem to work. It is nice Android 9 has equalization for Sub, but I need to find out what the problem is... (Update 3, turns out on Acura MDX the sub amp is turned on by Antenna Amp, and there is an Antenna Amplifier)...

Cheers!

AM / FM Fixed

Got my 2nd unit. Loading various ROMS to experiment with. I see some Android 10 builds are out and hopefully their ROM comes out soon too. Malaysk 3.5 is android 8, but many likes it I guess I may try it too.

Got AM/FM reception fixed. Original HU had metal brackets that grounds the unit well, new Metra plastic frames don't ground so I had to build my own grounding wire. Connected GND to Key2 to grounding wire AM/FM receptions all working as can be expected! Update: AM reception is still not great, but Okay since it is so little used. Remote Key1 and Key2 works really well after I fixed the steering wheel control's own grounding problem.

The capacitive touch screen doesn't seem responsive... it almost acts resisitive... Anyway to adjust sensibility? Not looking for touch re-calibration I hope.

Turns out Key1 & Key2 had 3.3 volts in them, lol. Disconnected Key2 to ground, leaving only Key1 connected to Left steering wheel controls. Wheel Key App is still not very good at detecting button clicks. I set 5 settings for each key and it still won't catch all the voltage drops due to resistance. Anyone know a manual edit method to the Wheek Key config?

Currently on Witson 9 MX 2019.11.25... some audio apps seems to crash (Spotify/Youtube) and no audio would come out until reboot. Not good...
