Thanks for confirming, I wasn't sure.

I found that the Rom Hal9k 7.1.2 specified for rk3188 and px3, but I did not find anywhere that rk3188 = px3.

My px3 drive has 2Gb of ram. I'm going to find out a few more things and update the Rom.

Thank you very much for your help again :)

Find the latest MX MCU (check my signature), go into factory settings (password 126) and click "export", put the MCU and the mcu.cfg file that clicking on "export" generated on an sdcard, place the sdcard in the main sdcard sot and go to updates in settings and update the MCU.

I'd like help.
my mcu is MTCD_KGL_V1.40_1 (mar 30 2016) Can I use your MTCD_KGL_V2.54.rar to upgrade?
Another question is I'm using halk9k mod v1.3 for my rk3188. Is it a good idea to upgrade for Hal9k Mod v2.5 or should I have some performance issues?

In the first post rom 7.1.2 the process is written:
forum.xda-developers.com

[ROM][PX3][RK3188][Nougat][7.1.2] Hal9k ROM 2 for ALL RK3188/PX3 MTCD/E head units

Hal9k Mod v2.507.04.2019 Firmware for platform MTCD-MTCE Rockchip PX3-RK3188 1024x600 800x480 based on the latest official version of HCT2. This is the further development of my Mod v1.x based on Android 5. Thanks graviton.no for the equipment...
forum.xda-developers.com forum.xda-developers.com

I imagine it is the same process for 5.1.1.
One doubt: the stick usb is also prepared by SD_Firmware_Tool or only contains the nupdate.img?


thank you so much

Have you read the guide in the 7.1.1 thread ?? You eject the sdcard as soon as you see an image on the screen, this gets you into 5.1.1 recovery then you can nstall 5.1.1.

Solution:

I managed to unlock it with a 7.1.2 bootable micro sd

Later I tried again to do the process for 5.1.1 and the screen went black again and new brick

I have resuscitated it with a 7.1.2 micro sd and I have left it like that

    Hal9k Mod v1.3​
    18.04.2018
    OTA-package: 24.06.2018​
    Hal9k Mod 2.x based on Android 7 is located here.

    Those who had radio on Android 2.3, may remember my firmware for it.
    Today I want to offer you a firmware for the MCTD platform with a Rockchip rk3188 processor, Android 5.1.1 and a screen resolution of 1024x600 or 800x480. It's made on the basis of the latest official version from HCT.

    You can install this firmware on your radio, if in Settings > About device > Version info>
    • MCU version starts with MTCD. After can be any letters, two, three, four - it does not matter.
    • Build number starts with rk3188.
    Version info example:
    01xda.png
    Also, to restore the radio, if something goes wrong, you should be able enter the recovery.

    The main advantages and trends of development of this mod:

    • New features.
    • Correction of existing errors and imperfections of the stock.
    • Best responsiveness in comparison of the stock + the ability for the user to improve this indicator.
    • The customizability. All critical changes made on my taste, you can customize for yourself or do as it was in the stock.
    • Twice the internal memory without using FUSE.
    • All changes made directly in application code without the use of Xposed framework for best perfomance.
    • Stability.
    • The stock design.
    When switching from any other firmware, user data deletion is necessary.
    If you are upgrading from a previous version, no data deletion is required, but it is recommended. Especially if you used microG in the previous version.

    How to install the firmware ?
    Extract the dupdate.img file from the archive to the root of the USB stick or SD card. It must be formatted in FAT32.
    Remember to remove all other USB sticks, SD cards, modems and other devices from the radio.

    Insert the USB stick in the USB jack. It is advisable to use the jack in which it is defined as USB1 (see, for example, in the player).

    If you installing the firmware over a previous version, go to recovery mode, select the fourth item (update the system/mcu image from usb) and wait for system startup.

    Otherwise, if you had a different firmware, go to recovery mode and select the fifth item (update the system/mcu image from usb and clear all).
    After a while the flashing process will fail and the radio will reboot again in recovery mode.
    Then the flashing process should restart automatically. But it is not always the case.
    Therefore, if the process is not restarted, you must again select the fifth item in the recovery menu.

    Of course, you can install the firmware from the SD card, but using a USB stick is more reliable and faster.
    Also you can install the firmware through the System updates in Settings.
    If you have an older version of MCU, I advise you to update to the current version.

    If you like my ROMs and you want to thank me, I ask you to make a donation. You can find required details on my website or just click here.

    Version 1.3 Google Drive

    Old versions

    Version 1.2 Google Drive
    List of changes:
    Version 1.3.2 OTA-package
    1. Made a list of applications that allow the screen saver to be started.
      You can add a third-party launcher or player to it, for example.
    2. Added the ability to switch tracks in third-party players using the steering wheel buttons for owners of CAN-adapters for Mercedes cars, etc.
    3. Made a list of applications that are restarted after sleep.
      I included the PCRadio application in it. Now it always starts playback correctly after exiting sleep, if it was started when HU go to sleep.
      In PCRadio's settings, you must enable the "Resume playback when application starts" switch. Also it is necessary to remove it from the whitelist if it was added to it.
    4. Editing the whitelist now does not require a restart of the HU.
    5. Added a volume control in the style typical for AV equipment from the 7floor module
    6. Added the ability to display the volume control at the top, middle or bottom of the screen.
    7. Added the ability to adjust the time during which the volume control remains on the screen after changing the volume value.
    8. Has been made a list of applications that should not work simultaneously.
      This list is an extension of the corresponding system list.
      If one of the applications included in this list is launched, then the rest are closed.
      That is, for example, if you include the same PCRadio, then it will close when you start the stock Music or Radio. And vice versa.
    9. Added the ability to move the statusbar to the bottom of the screen. (Experimental option.)
    10. Changed the logic of the name request for the button of the stored radio station.
      If the name for the stored frequency is not specified earlier, text from the RDS is suggested.
    11. Added color themes for the main applications from @AlexNikolaev See screenshots.
    12. Added ability to adjust navigation volume in phone mode.
    13. Other changes aimed at improving stability.
    Version 1.3.1 OTA-package

    3. Added the ability to disable switching folders in the Music by the buttons on the steering wheel.
    4. Fixed interface display for 800x480 resolution.
    Version 1.3
    1. Moved to the new base firmware from August 2017.
    2. The Mod settings are made in a separate application, also available from the "Extra settings" in the Settings app.
    3. The possibility of OTA-updates is added.
    4. Added application F-Droid for automatic update microG.
    5. Sorting in alphabetical order of all lists in players is done.
    6. Repeat is disabled by default in the Video and Music applications.
    7. The music player is paused when the Mute button is pressed.
    8. The music player moves to the next folder in the list after playing the last file in the current folder in the sequential playback mode.
    9. Added a jump to the previous / next folder on the seekdown / seekup steering wheel buttons and a on the long tap to the prev / next screen buttons.
    10. Added pop-up messages showing information about the current radio station and music file. It is possible to set the font size and the duration of the messages.
    11. Added folder name display to the pop-up message when switching between folders.
    12. Added a request for a name for the button of the stored radio station.
    13. Added the ability to choose from ten screensavers. Pictures here.
    14. Added the ability to turn off the full-screen keyboard.
    15. Added the ability to turn off the restarting applications that worked before going to sleep.
    16. In the application "Wheelkey Study" added actions "turn off the screen backlight", "recent applications" and "F-Cam application".
    17. In the OEM added 4 launchers (HLA, JY, KGL, KLD). Selection of the launcher after installation is made as usual, by pressing the Home button, as in the phone.
    18. Made a list of navigational apps that muffle other sounds when playing voice prompts.
      The list should include all navigation applications, including the one that is set by default to the Navi button.
    19. Added GPS Test Plus.
    20. Updated the time zones to version 2018d.
      After updating without a wipe, make sure that the time zone is set correctly.
    21. Other changes, to improve stability.
    Ideas of some improvements are taken from the module xposed-mtce-utils and other modules with the permission of the author, MVG-V70. For which I thank him very much.
    But they are implemented without using the Xposed framework.

    • How to install TomTom and other apps in Play Market that are not visible on the radio ?
      You have to change just one variable in build.prop: ro.product.device You can do it with your favorite text editor or with this app
      You need to change the value of the variable from rk3188 to another. For example, mctd or even rk3189.
      Reboot the radio. TomTom will be visible in the Play Market.
      In order to have TomTom connected to his server and downloaded the maps, it is necessary to add another variable to the build.prop: ro.serialno=right half of your serial number (16 digits) and reboot the radio.
      Altered serial number will be shown in Settings > CAR > About device > Status.
      This method has a negative side. Applications that are already attached to your serial number (e.g. russian navigation software Navitel) will require reattach.
      So, after installing and running TomTom is better to return all back.
