I own for a while now a MTCD Android Head Unit with the following specs:

Model: A-Media AUTO (1024x600 W)

Android: 6.0.1

MCU Version: MTCD_GS_V2.32_1 (4th March 2017)

Kernel-Version: 3.10.0 [email protected] #390 (3rd March 2017)

Build-Number: px5-userdebug 6.0.1 MXC89L user.hct.20170304.091130 test-keys

do I d/l the android 8 to sdcard and just install it ? or anything I need to do ? do I have to root ?

Cross post.

You might find the lack of response due to the number of posts dealing with this question. Perhaps read, and then make pointed questions.

WOW, THANK YOU!!! You are a legend. SO awesome!!! Worked great even with Android 8.

Hello!
Use the following instruction to receive permanent root on Android 8 using adb without flashing device:

1. On Head Unit, install terminal emulator on device and run two following commands and reboot device. This will open ADB witj root permissions on the port 5555
   

   setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555
   setprop sys.rkadb.root 1

2. On your PC, download latest "SuperSu" zip archive from official site, extract su binary from arm64 directory inside the archive
3. On your PC, create new file called "rooting.rc" with following content:
   

   service rooting /system/bin/su --daemon
       class main
       priority 10
       user root
       oneshot
       seclabel u:object_r:system_file:s0

4. From your PC run:
   

   # adb connect "device_ip"
   # adb root
   # adb connect "device_ip"
   # adb remount
   # adb shell setenforce 0
   # adb push su /system/xbin/su
   # adb push su /system/bin/su
   # adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
   # adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
   # adb shell /system/bin/su --install
   # adb shell /system/bin/su --daemon&
   # adb push rooting.rc /system/etc/init/rooting.rc

5. On Head Unit, install SuperSu from PlayMarket and ask "NO" when application ask to update the module
6. Reboot and enjoy!

I'm searching for long time for any info about how to update my HU. Found info that i can flash MTCE/Android 8.0 hu's, but my HU manufacture isnt on any list. Anyone know the solution?

Model: PX5
Android: 8.0.0
Kernel:4.4.93+
[email protected] #130
Thu Feb 1 16:36:19 CST 2018
Compilation: px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.htc.20180228.180243 test-keys

CPU: 8 core 64-bit CPU Coretex-A53 @ 1.5G
Memory: 4GB

I don't even know how to start, im fine with flashing phones(done this many times), but too many informations here that i dont know what can i use for my HU update.

Everything is working now at 8.0(bt, calls, mobile data, wifi, gps, usb, radio etc) but i want to update to Android 10 without risking something will not work, as im using this at my work

Any help?
Thanks

You might have missed the countless posts regarding this very topic... Put some effort in

Bro, ive actually spend whole day searching over internet, youtube, forums, even read all posts on this thread, used search for this MTCE_CHS. Maybe i missed something

I know i can brick by updating mtc from other manufacture(but there are some crosscompatible), i know i need to have proper android version, even hu parameters. I read a lot but still too many threads here which can be incomprehensible as i dont know which one is proper for my HU. Also there were no correct/same answer for my HU in different threads. Many cars, many hu manufactures, many mtce, many android versions etc etc...

I found here about at least 2 different CHS hu's for 2 different cars(i have ford focus mk2) and they are just about something not working, not 'which mtce' or 'how to'. I saw many differences in my hu 'system info' and one posted in these thread or even at main thread about units.

I just dont want to brick my hu, i read a lot, thats why im asking cause i didnt find in thread or didnt understand clearly what i just read

Hi,
High level steps - should hopefully providing an understanding to then gather more information from other posts.

1. Update MCU - before you do, export MCU settings and document all factory settings. - choose the latest CHS from here ( @typos1 always recommends this step https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/MCU for MTCD, MTCE, MTCP, Intel Sofia3g/CHS

2. Upgrade Android - choose any MTCD/E/P Android matching your processor. You might find after doing so you no longer have Bluetooth. There are threads that discuss this, read up first. Take your time, might otherwise see you in the 'recovery/OTG thread if you rush.

You will also find a number of posts describing upgrading, I won't repost these as there are numerous options.

You might want to consider the two paid ROMs - one could possibly assume because they are paid you get direct support from the dev/kanger.

Hello guys!
I just bought a SoC board to upgrade my older PX3 2GB KBT. The new one is from Witson, its a PX5 4GB Android 10. I have the same MCU
What should i do next? i want to install Hal9k or Malasyk, but i can't see anything android 10 related.
What about the MCU? i remember that i was instructed to change the MCU before installing the board, but i forgot. However, it is working ok this way. Should i change it to something else?
@typos1

 

[typos1]

All SoMs are made by HCT, Witson was just the retailer.

No @Hal9k_ Android 10 yet, dont think @Malaysk has one either, theyre in the pipeline, either live with stock 10 or install 9.

The MCU has to be at least version 3.44 for 10.

 

[Fakken]

Any ideea about why the MCU has to be 3.44?
I tried to upgrade the MCU to 3.44 a few months ago, while i still had the PX3 board, and i had a continous beep every 5-10 seconds.
Everything sorted out when i reverted to the last working MCU (KBT 2.67)

I will try and find a HCT 3.44 mcu in your links. Thank you!

As for the firmware, i will stay on 10 and wait for the grand firmware masters to release a 10 version

LE: just tried MTCE_HA_V3.57 and i got version mismatched and the buttons are scrambled, nothing works ok ))

 

[typos1]

Theres no such thing as an HCT MCU - HCT is the company that makes SoMs for all MTC units.

You have to have a KBT MCU unless you try and chagne your MCU type after reading the Cross Compatible MCU thread.

I would try 3.44 again, Android 10 is only compatible with 3.44 and above I have not read any reasons why.

Maybe 3.44 is not compatible with RK3188/PX3 SoM ?

As ever when flashing an MCU, ALWAYS export your mcu.cfg before flashing.

My px5 is on ksp 3.07, running Android 10, and before hal9k Android 9 without Problems...

Great, but its supposed to be 3.44 for 10, as I said I dont know why, search the forums it does say somewhere.

Yes i know, i think it Was something like higher than 3.00 for battery in Statusbar on Android 9.
Maybe just luck on my side... ?

Hello, Just purchased WITSON PX5 4GB android 10, vesion MCU: MTCE_MX2_V3.56, so far its pretty good, only issue I'm having is the following:
I use the apps that uses the accessibility permision to to change the screen brightness, but currently every time I turn off the car, the head unit goes into power saving mode, when it resumes, all my apps losses the accessibility permission, is anoyne else having this issue or a fix for it?

Hello, I have a PX5 Android 8(from factory), 4gb ram and is MTCE_LM v.2.81. Can anyone help me updating to Android 10. Thanks!

Hello everyone!
Dasaita HA2106-V840-8 with android 8 installed (Hal9k mod). From the beginning I had problems with the BT connection. After the complaint within the warranty period, the seller sent me the BT module, which I replaced yesterday. On that occasion, I also added a heatsink to the processor board.
Anyway, now BT works, but the warning light SRS "Airbag service required" on my instrument panel my Mitsubishi ASX (yr. 2013) constantly lit. I also checked the contacts on the bottom panel where there is a button for all 4 turn signals and a signal light for the passenger, as well as contacts under the seat. They are all well connected. I tried to disconnect the + terminal from the battery and wait a few minutes, so that the computer might be reset, but nothing helps. Is there a solution? Or I'll have to go to the service.

I think the safest way is to use Mod Installer Pro 2 (Hal9k).
