Plus how many computers were tried, were the instructions followed, what was tried, how was masrom entered................
Why would the storage be defective, doesn't make sense unless something not disclosed

I'm using rock driver 4.7
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d0kTWc6SOiz3Xs1_9npPilI-WFljg4Of/view?usp=share_link
and the hct7 img file on yandex
I have only managed to enter loader mode once in 1 year.... (I have patience, I know haha) I don't know what I'm doing wrong, in maskrom mode it enters perfectly. I have been able to flash the px3 board that I have, in maskrom mode it always gave me the error boot download fail. I am going to buy new resistors and I am going to make some new cables, the radio still does not start and I would like to fix the px5 as well.
Apologies for delayed response.
I provide support frequently in a completely unrelated forum and fully understand your scepticism.
Everything has been disclosed, I see no value in non disclosure when seeking support for an issue I can't resolve - it would just waste my time and yours.
1 computer tried, the usb interface is recognized correctly when the tweezer hack mentioned in post #942 is followed. Loader mode is entered and as posted I can read 'Chip Info' and 'test device' but cannot access the flash and ever option results in 'Get FlashID Fail'.
Based on a quick check of unzipped downloads I have tried AndroidTool 2.35, 2.52, rockChip Driver Assist 1.3, 4.8, 5.1.1
I assume either the V3 devices are different from V4\later versions, or I have missed the winning tool\usb driver combo.
It's no longer a priority as purchased a replacement but have an aversion to throwing away good stuff... even more than I hate it when technology beats me, so every hopeful.
And to those that have provided suggestions, thanks for your time and input.
It's greatly appreciated.

Information is in the thread. Perhaps use a good translator and take your time to read the first post.
the information is in forums if willing to put in a little time searching and reading. This is not the thread for it though
If you really know if this is possible to fix, tell me. Why this thread is not for it? I want to unbrick the unit, and this thread is about that...
master, everything is written on the first page, I came to a blind and lame place, I'm stuck, no one can help
Hi
I have successfully completed SOM a rom. When I plug it into HUR, the lights flash once, I can't understand what I am missing. Can anyone help?

20"Factory" Recovery for MTCx PX3, PX5 and PX6 SOM.
Finally - OTG for all without modifying your head-unit. With only basic electronic/soldering skills, get OTG and fearlessly flash or recover a 'bricked' MTCD/E (HCT printed on SOM) Rockchip PX3, PX5 SOM.
See attached pics for making an OTG cable from a USB cable and two resistors.
Resistors are 12K and 15k (22k is probably better) or anyone of the following. combinations. These resistors are necessary as 'voltage dividers', with a value between 1.8v and 3.3 OK. These simply place a logic '1' on recovery and USB-OTG to 'tell' the SOM to go into OTG recovery mode.

Get Windows Driver [Driver assistant - latest version] and [Android tool - latest version] for direct/OTG SOM flashing here.. Be sure to edit [android tool] .ini file to set English, otherwise tool will be rendered in Chinese.
This tool for dumping / getting full backup of SOM
Excellent tool, thanks @RedScorpioXDA
Note - all tools and driver have equivalent Linux versions.

Using the RockChip Android Tool:
- For OREO: Unzip and flash all partitions in the ZIP file [px5_OREO_Full_13032018-UseToRecoverOrCreateNew.7zip here
- For Android 6, flash the latest update.img file in android tool
There are guides to partition flashing found on the internet, would be great if anyone could contribute by posting step-by-step instructions or a video to assist others (there are now posts in this thread...)
A generic guide to the RockChip Android tool, flashing partitions or image files is here as previously posted.
Credit (thanks!) to @scorillo_ro for the detailed image/connections diagram.
Worst case - SOM doesn't respond - force 'maskrom' detailed here explaining what MaskRom is and here on how to for your PX5 (px3 is similar.) Steps are: Power Off SOM and disconnect USB to PC. Use Tweezers, apply power/connect USB. Hold until Windows Device chime is heard (within about 2 seconds of power on.) See attached pic.
Warning : Use thin pins for OTG cable in order to avoid the damage of the SOM connectors, although along the thread it has been noted many times that damage to the SOM socket is very likely to happen if thick pins are used...OR buy SOM header from Aliexpress, digikey etc.[/COLOR]

04/04/2020 - link to px5 android 9 full update.img14Nice work @marchnz !
A full step by step and pictures howto should be made now and all those PX5 users without sdcard slots will be able to use this method to get Android8!
LE. I drew a schema33
Yes, on the first page of the thread you will see PX5 boards, both the green one and the blue one.Many thanks
I take it the board in the first thread above is the one out of any PX5 android car radio ?
Both are PX5 boards, just different versions...

No, you can cut and use any USB cable that have at least one male plugs at its ends.
If you don't have any spare USB cable to use and need to buy one, you can buy an male to male one just to cut it in two equal parts. Use one part to build the PX5 OTG cable and keep the other one for spare
I'll also recommend the cable to be not too long and not too thin.2Finally I succeeded! I rewrote the sdupdate on the som in maskrom mode, and finally my PX5 is back to work with oreo 8 of Malaysk. Thank you so much marchnz.
Also I have had several problems to recognize the SOM from the PC, in addition to what you have already suggested marchnz I add only to bring to gnd also the shielding of the usb cable and two cables gnd to the som.
I add photos that perhaps clarifies what I suggest
