Hi, I have an android px5 tablet in my car, I did the mcu update but I think it was wrong. All features are working but the key lights are not working. After the update the keys went out. What should I do, does anyone know?

If you saved the factory settings in the dmcu.cfg file before updating the MCU (EXPORT button) Then update the MCU with this file, the settings will be restored to their original state. If you haven't done so and the buttons don't work, follow the video. If it is not lit, then in the factory settings in the last tab other is Panel LED control try if it is not turned off. You can still try to downgrade to the original MCU, but if you remember its designation.

Hi there!

I'm thinking of flashing this on my pumpkin system after moving the system into my Ford Ranger 2019 which has steering controls unlike my last vehicle.

The only reason is I can't use any of the steering wheel controls, do you know if this will help?

Also can anyone confirm apps show as a little bubble for youtube, maps etc when you click the home button?

Appreciate any help in advance :)

Hello. My unit (dasaita PX6) has stopped working. When it starts it stays with the letters Android and does nothing else. I was able to go into recovery and do a wipe but it still doesn't work. Can I install this ROM through recovery?

This also happened to me with the latest update (few weeks ago). What I did was I downloaded v5 of this ROM from the link on the first post, then I extracted update.zip to USB storage. Then I plug in USB storage to one of the USB inputs on headunit. Then I boot into recovery by holding pin into reset hole for few seconds until it booted into recovery and then selected update from USB or something like that. Then I was able to fully update it again to the latest version using OTA.

Good morning. Today I got a problem on my dasaita px6 with Android 9 to update 4.2.2 OTA. Immediately after the update, the sound system is not working. No audio emitted (radio, navigator, mp3 player, etc. etc.) nor beeping system. I have tried to restore the system but nothing seems to fix my problem. What I noticed is that there is no more background noise (no difference between 0 level and 1,2,3 .... level) Is there a solution? Is there anyone with the same problem as me?

What is the website to pay to receive OTA? Do you know if it is possible to ask a question to the creator of the rom before buying the
OTA? I tried the free version, and if I had connected something to the USB, the wifi did not work. I want to know if an update has fixed it.

    This version is deprecated. The new version is here

    MCU version: MTCD_ХХХХ, MTCE_ХХХХ, MTCP_ХХХХ
    Firmware version: 4.0.0 (01.02.2020)
    Version of the latest OTA update: 4.2.2 (06.02.2022)

    About firmware:
    Firmware for car head units on the MTCD-MTCE platform with Rockchip PX5 (rk3368), PX6 (rk3399), PX30 (rk3326) processors and a screen resolution of 800x480, 1024x600 or 1280x720 based on Android 9 .
    This is a further development of the Hal9k Mod v3 based on Android 8.
    # Thanks AndroidAutoShop for the equipment provided for development.

    The basic version of the firmware, in the form in which it is posted here, is distributed free of charge for private use and has no performance limitations
    Commercial use of firmware or its parts and algorithms is prohibited

    Any change to the firmware of the head unit is a potentially dangerous operation. Therefore, the Mod is provided on an “as is” basis. The author is not responsible for any possible negative consequences.

    The main advantages of this firmware:
    • Stock design
    • High stability
    • Advanced functionality
    • Correction of existing errors and deficiencies in stock firmware
    • Customizability. All additions and modifications can be customized to your taste.
    • Changes are made directly in the application code, without using the Xposed framework
    • Increased responsiveness compared to the stock + the ability to independently improve this indicator
    System requirements ( Settings> System> About device (About tablet) )
    • The model starts with px5 (rk3368) or px6 (rk3399) or px30 (rk3326_mid)
    • Android version starts with 9 or 8.0 or 6.0
    • The MCU version starts with MTCD or MTCE . Further there can be any letters, two, three, four - it does not matter.

    It is also necessary to be able to enter the recovery mode.

      • Ability to use BeiDou satellites instead of Glonass (only for PX5 and PX6)
    2. The Navi button now switches between the navigation application and the last launched player, which is included in the "List of media players that should not work together"

      • Frequency of measurements of geolocation increased by 10 times. Navigation apps respond faster to changes in course or speed
      • The lag of the marker from the real position is reduced to the minimum, which means that navigation applications report faster about the upcoming maneuver

      • A dynamic navigation model is set - for cars, not for phones, as set by default
      • Any differential correction satellites are used
    2. Unfortunately, not all of this works for PX30 devices, since they have a less functional GPS receiver chip
    3. Updated GPS Test Plus application (see screenshot). The satellites marked in circles are GPS on the left of the screen and Galileo on the right
    4. Ability to configure the speed of the USB OTG port (USB 2.0 or USB 1.1). This allows you to remove clicks that interfere with listening to music via USB DAC.

      • To display the real temperature you need a CAN adapter and the presence of temperature in the status bar, and to display the voltage - MCU 2.93 and higher

      • There is a display of recommendations when moving along the route for Yandex.Navigator, Yandex.Maps, Google Maps, Sygic GPS Navigation & Maps
      • There is a temperature display from Yandex.Weather notification, if temperature data does not come from the CAN adapter
      • During the screen saver’s operation, the volume control is not shown
    55. Added the ability to select from 12 regular screen savers
    56. 6 launchers and their widgets (AY, GS, HCT2, HCT3, KGL, ZH) have been added to OEM.
    57. For Tasker fans, the ability to assign the numbers 1-9, 0, and the symbols * and # to the steering wheel buttons has been added.
      Intent = "com.microntek.report.event"
      Extra "type" = "key"
      Extra "value" = button code.
    58. Other changes aimed at improving stability and usability.
    59. A lot of work has been done to provide support for new Android 9 firmware, although this is not visible from the outside.
    The ideas of some improvements are taken from the module xposed-mtce-utils and other modules with permission of the author, MVG-V70. Thank him very much for that.
    But implemented without using the Xposed framework.
    Installation:
    When switching from any other firmware, user data will be cleared automatically!
    When upgrading from a previous version, wipe data is not required. But it is recommended if there are any problems.
    For stable operation of the device, it is recommended to update the MCU firmware to the latest: 3.40 and higher, or to the latest version available for your device
    You can obtain the MCU firmware from the seller of your HU or search in cs-x collection

    Update from Android 9:
    The installation is similar to a regular firmware update
    1. Copy the firmware file update.zip to a USB flash drive / SD memory card formatted in FAT32
    2. Insert a USB flash drive / SD memory card into the device
    3. In the window that appears, click "Install"
    4. After installation, the device will automatically restart one more time to complete the installation of Magisk.
    When installing from a SD memory card, installation may take longer!

    Update from Android 6, 8:
    Requires updating the recovery version to Android 9
    • Simple and safe way: Use the application ModInstaller Pro (link to the application in the readme.txt file, which is located in the archive with the firmware or in my signature at the bottom of this post)
    • Complicated and unsafe way: look for information in this thread
    Update from Android 8 with saving data:
    Only for PX5 devices!
    The archive contains 2 special packages that can be used to switch from Android 8 without data loss
    1. Connect to the HU with Android 8 firmware (Mod v3.x) one USB flash drive formatted in FAT32.
      There should be enough free space on the flash drive to save the device’s internal storage
    2. Install the package update.zip from the folder backup8 from the same flash drive or from the SD card
      A multivolume archive with your data (userdata*) will be created on the USB flash drive.
    3. Install mod v4.x by the method above
    4. After the full installation of Android 9, connect a USB flash drive with archive to the HU
    5. Install the package update.zip from the folder restore9 from the same flash drive or from the SD card
    6. Reboot the HU.
    The first boot of Android 9 after restoring the archive from Android 8 may last longer than usual. The system needs time to convert data
    This method does not guarantee full functionality of all third-party applications that were installed in Android 8.
    If you encounter any problems - reset device to factory settings

    Additions:
    EasyConnected from stock firmware
    Automatic backlight control for PX5-based head units

    Autostart applications

    FAQ:
    Q: How to get OTA updates?
    A: Information is on my site. You will find the link in the archive with firmware or in my signature at the bottom of this post

    Q: How to automatically install my applications after installing the firmware?
    A: Create the hct folder on the flash drive with the firmware, the apk folder in it and put your apk in it. They will be automatically installed after the installing the firmware.

    Q: How to connect the OBD adapter?
    A: This can be done both from the Bluetooth application, and from the Bluetooth item in the settings. The main thing - before you click on the adapter found, you must wait until the scan finished. Wait until the spinning circle disappears in the Bluetooth application or until the inscription "Search..." changes to the inscription "Refresh" in Settings. Then pairing goes smoothly. If the phone is already connected, you will need to temporarily disconnect it.

    Q: How to start any application from a button on the steering wheel?
    A: Mod settings - Manage applications - Applications that run instead of the stock . Assign any of the six applications that you don’t use to the button, then choose a replacement for it in the form of some kind of player, for example. This button will start your player

    Q: Bluetooth MD725 does not work, although everything worked in Android 6!
    A: If the MD725 type 2 Bluetooth module is installed in your HU, then it will not work in Android 9. The reason is that its driver was removed from Android 9.

    Q: How do I know if I have such a Bluetooth module?
    A: On the first page of the factory settings, in item BT, MD725 is selected. The getprop bt.md725.type command executed in the terminal answers "2"
    Solution: replace the module with type 1

    Q: Bluetooth SD-968 does not work, although everything worked in Android 8!
    A: If the SD-968 Bluetooth module with firmware made in March 2017 or earlier is installed in your HU, then it works in Android 8, but does not work in Android 9.
    Solution: replace the module driver /system/bin/sdsdk968 with the old version. Do not forget to set permissions 755 on the file.
    Or replace the module with another type
    Known Issues:
    Mod is a modified factory firmware.
    I can only be responsible for the changes in the device that I made. All of them are listed in the "List of changes" section.
    Everything else, both good and bad, is inherited from the factory firmware.
    I try to fix bugs found in the stock, but this I can’t always do it.
    If you do not agree with this, do not install this firmware.
    • On some devices with a PX5 processor, the screen backlight sometimes does not turn on after exiting sleep mode.
      After rebooting the device with the RST button or turning off the ignition for about 20-30 seconds, it continues to work.
      The same problem exists on the stock and on newer version of the stock

    Yes, there will be a Mod 5.
    My doppelganger was a bit hasty with the deadline. :)
