[QRCODE][/QRCODE]Link to file install-recovery.sh (last version, easily configurable, with early start of services).

By replacing file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh with the above version, any TomTom map(s), located on any available storage (GPS, SD, USB), will work with Android KK on our HU.
Assuming that the new install-recovery.sh file is on the second external SD card, execute under the Terminal Emulator app the following code in order to perform the replacement:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw  /system
# cd /system/etc
# cp /mnt/external_sd2/install-recovery.sh  ./
# chmod 755 install-recovery.sh
# chown root:root install-recovery.sh
Then reboot at any time (with the Real Reboot app, or execute directly the reboot command as root).

There is no more need for the FolderMount app, and the setup is always done before TomTom starts.
When (re)inserting the SD/USB stick, there is no need for reboot, just wait a bit.

People that do not use TomTom could safely use the modified install-recovery.sh file, anyway.

See also posts #7157, #7222, and especially #7848 - which summarizes TomTom related possibilities, and then some more.
Hello
will this work on rooted stock 4.2 ? (you have mentioned KK not sure if its still ok to use it under Jelly Bean)
executing code using Terminal Emulator
I assume I have to put each line then press enter then go to next line of the code above ?
Many thanks

NEW May 24, 2015 for 800X480
Only for RK3066 800X480

++++ Completely reworked the whole firmware "with zero" (the base - the factory firmware is dated April 24, 2015.)
++++ Root there, but now it is no control manager Root SuperSu (has been removed). Root will be provided with all the programs that need it automatically. If someone is not satisfied, then download the SuperSu Manager and install it yourself.
++++ Remove program Chrom (is a standard browser)
++++ Added to the Settings section for developers.
++++ Changed the status bar and notification blind.
++++ Removed icon screensaver (moon) in the status bar.
++++ Added a module for Xposed from MVG-V70 with Russian Forum (I thank him very much for the good job) mtc-keys, which allows action to remap the buttons radio.
++++ Reworked menu completely reboot.
++++ A number of other fixes, additions and speed optimization system boot.

After the firmware immediately go to Settings, Restore and Reset-Reset and do reset to the factory and put a tick - to delete all data from the SD card.



Who jumps at the sound of speed when driving, it is necessary to go to the settings MTC Service (Car) and turn off the sound speed compensation (GPS).

Download here

Just installed this along with the test mcu with the 2 hour sleep mode and all is running very nicely. That mcu makes it feel like i just installed a new system....

Cheers Malaysk!, thanks for all your hard work.

Guys I have a 3G stick Huawei k4203 (vodafone). Does it work with this radio?
Yes, i am using this exact same one...plugged into one of the rear USB cables (in glove box)
Edit: No settings required, just plug it in and its detected as "Ethernet"....It gets power when you turn on the stereo and is always ready before the HU finishes booting

Sygic repair

I have problm to install Sygic on my new device.
[...]
I have write to Sygic support, because I have paid licence, and I have received e-mail wit steps that I have to make to delete all Sygic files and to try to install .apk file that support have send to me.
I have try to do all of this steps, but it does not work for me.
When I install software I'm redirected to Sygic store. I can download all maps and voices and when i click Start i can see user menu, settings etc... but it does not show the maps. When I restart Sygic I'm stocked in Sygic store where I can see that maps are installed, but I can not use the software.
I have also write to seller, and they told me that problem is because I have maps for resolution 800x480, and not for 1024x600? :)
If anyone knows how to solve this problem please help, because it is annoying that everything works super, but paid software does not work.
I guess what your seller told to you is just crap. Then only know a bit about iGo nothing more.

Please try the following step by step:
  1. force close Sygic via Settings -> Apps
  2. delete sygics data in Settings -> Apps
  3. open a root explorer
  4. navigate to /sdcard
  5. delete Sygic folder
  6. and if you want to be sure you can uninstall and reinstall Sygic
Then start Sygic and download your Data and maps using a stable wifi connection! No 3G!! Use a fixed and fast Wifi if possible.
Whenever sygic gets connection interruptions downloads may fail silently causing problems like yours.
This is what I noticed two weeks ago...

Oh this is a good question!
I guess you will be able to get into recovery with the new board. But I don't know.
If not you might need to get that updated also? Or is recovery probably stored on any chip on the SoM?

What is the version number of the MCU?
I don't know. I assume 2.53 but I have not installed it as I need it rooted first.
these firmwares are being published faster than I thought, I wish I knew how to root them myself.

I know how to decompile them but not root yet.. if anyone can guide me with that would be awesome.

Dont be a smart guys. I ask if make and for this resolution hd and rk3188.
Realy i know that this not for rk3188.
I wait a @Malaysk answer no yours because he now when make for this rk3188 .
To be serious - no.
I did not want to insult you in any way but in fact you did ask if the modification also applies to HD displays on RK3188.
I did just answer exactly what you asked. If you want to know someting else you have to aks about something else.

As far as I know the update you commented on (it's just one APP!!) does not mak any difference between RK's and the reason for the replacement WAS 800*480 so the old ones were for 1024.
thus that does not make sense eighter.

what exaclty do you want to ask?
If you want a firmware modified for a special variant (e.g. RK3188 HD) you should point us/Malaysk to which you mean.
