Thanks for the quick reply typos1, didnt expect you to be so fast!

Thanks for clarifying the mixup; KLD it is then. I have a KLD1, but I don't think this is a late KLD as I bought it sometime ago. It used to be a KLD1 less than version 2.55, but I upgraded to 2.77. I didn't think you can update from KLD1 to a KLD6? Never dared to either as I didn't want to risk bricking my system. The radio improvements would be good if it enhances the reception, even slightly (it is not that bad in my opinion). I did take screenshot of all the factory settings so no concerns there.

I am currently using [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION]'s mod; don't really like the launcher much and the video player no longer works in the background. When playing music videos and if I then move to the navigation app the video stop playing. I converted from listening to mp3 audio to mp4 videos sometime back and don't fancy acquiring audio files for all the music videos I listen to.

Didn't realise this thread is for Malaysk's ROMs only. I've been using DSA's ROMS for a couple of years now as they are close to factory, with the changes most needed like increased partitions size, but the ROM you mentioned is not as fast as v4.4.4. Quite like the new version so have not been tempted to downgrade.

With regards to "I would at least attmept updating the MCU" to KLD6, what is the worst that could happen if things were to go wrong?

Really appreciate the response by the way.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
No probs.

TBH I have never heard of KLD1, only KLD then KLD2 - 6. The worst that can happen if you upgrade your MCU is that some things wont work, like radio or wifi, if this happens you just go back to your previous MCU. Its worth trying. One thing to do is to make sure you know what tuner type your unit has as after the new MCU is flashed you have to go into factory settings and re check the RDS box, re set radio to Europe and reset the radio IC.

It did used to be so that if you have a numbered MCU you should only update to a numbered MCU that matches yours (only KLD2 MCUs if you have a KLD2 for instance), but many people have recently found that this is not the case - my unit was a MTCB KLD 2.78 and then I upgraded to MTCB KLD6 v2.85 and from there I went to an MTCC KLD6 v2.91. Each time I upgraded I got improvements to the radio.

You can change the launcher (I like the Roxio one as you can remove/re-locate the MTC widgets). Personally I listen to .flac files for all my music because they are full quality, lossless files, not lossy like mp3s, mp4s, aac etc, so I ve never tried to listen to videos in the background while driving - did the previous dsa versions do this because you did a mod or was it always like that ?

"The ROM I mentioned" - do you mean dsa's latest L ROM ? Cos I find L a little faster than KK.

Actually I was wrong - this thread is not for Malaysk ROMs its his thread for factory firmware. This thread :

http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/m...lollipop-mtcb-units-tested-courtessy-t3389906

is for Lollipop and [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION]'s ROMs, (careful, it gets a little heated at times :) )
[MTCB Software Development] tariqkhan.co.uk:
Great, I'll upgrade to MTCB KLD6 v2.85 and let you know how it goes.

I've got to build up the confidence to upgrade to MTCC KLD6 v2.91 as I really don't want anything to go wrong it being a different type of MCU.

I've just installed Car Launcher Pro v1.5.1 and I have to say... I'm impressed. Is it worth using root to remove old launcher for a performance gain if any or does removing the original launcher cause problems?

The previous dsa versions did this and the stock version played videos in the background also, so don't know whats to blame here as I installed an old version of the MTCMovie app and no joy.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Lol, ok, theres really nothing to worry about with the MCU - if some functions break you just reflash another one, I ve done it loads.

Its ok to keep the original launcher.

As for video, post in the forum I linked to earlier and [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] may be able to help you.
[MTCB Software Development] tariqkhan.co.uk:
Hey typos1, so I did what you recommended and flashed my system with MTCC KLD6 v2.91 and it works :good:

What I did notice though is that the system button colours (element in settings) are not as they should be. I selected RGB in factory settings as that is what it originally was set to, but when selecting the blue colour, the button lights up as red, and selected red it lights up as blue. It's like RGB switched to BGR. Not a big deal though.

Sound quality seems to me as though it is a lot better; it sounds a little more crisp. I prefer the new Radio App and the signal quality does seem a little improved, but still not as good as standard systems (it is not as bad for me as some people have reported).

I reflashed DSA Lollipop ROM in post #873 or similar, but still wont play videos in the background. The only thing I'm missing really.
[MTCB Software Development] tariqkhan.co.uk:
Videos are now playing in the background again and now that I have been running this for a while... the wifi connection is a lot more reliable!!! I tether of my phone so this was a long term annoyance till now.

This may be the ROM and not the MCU, but sometimes while video is playing in the background, after the video is finished it does not move on to the next track (clicking next fixes this so not a big deal) and sometime coming back to the video it displays the video player but no video even though it is playing. Again clicking next fixes this.

Overall, a lot happier with my system.
[MTCB Software Development] Goaz:
typos1 I've noted that you often suggest people to update their MCU, the MCU should not be updated unless "strictly reccomended", if the head-units are properly running with their default MCU there is no need at all to updated MCU imho.

Before updating any MCU new users should try to firsty get some confidence with updating of firmware procedures, so basically it is highly reccomended to just update the ROM and not the MCU.

Furthermore as you know the MCU is only needed to control the head-unit buttons/lights/hardware so I would initially onyl update the ROM, test it, see if it does run smoothly, then eventually update the MCU alone.

As many old users posted many times, flashing of a wrong MCU could brick the unit!!

just my 2 cents :>

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

tariqkhan.co.uk if I were you I'd stick back with your original MCU version, you don't know if in a long term the wrong MCU could baddly affect your unit.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Sorry, but are totally incorrect for a variety of reasons.

Firstly flashing the wrong MCU will not brick your unit, all it does is make some stuff not work and you can easily flash the correct MCU.

The list of people updating their MCUs successfully is massive.

Often, flashing a ROM can stop some stuff on your unit working and flashing the MCU will get them working again.

New MCUs often have new features that you would not be able to use if you dont flash a more up to date MCU (shut down delay, updating the unit to an MTCC unit that can take MTCC ROMs are 2 examples).

The MCU controls much more than the buttons and lights, it controls wifi, the radio, BT all sorts of stuff.

Flashing an MCU is so simple and easy, if you need to "get some confidence with updating firmware" then you probably shouldnt own a smart device such as this.

Some old users did have some problems with updating MCUs 2 years ago, but that was 2 years ago, our knowledge of them is rather better now.

I speak with over 2 years experience of these units, having owned 3 of them and with thanks related to helping people with them of over 400.

As [MENTION=7085693]tariqkhan.co.uk[/MENTION] said in his post above - hew updated his MCU and its working fine.

If you dont want to update your MCU, fine, but please dont try and put others off doing a useful upgrade.
[MTCB Software Development] pa.ko:
+1 on that

I'll add that there is always a possibility that something changes among mcu versions but generally newer ones have improvements. For example on KGL units somewhere between 2.5x and 2.7x the buttons lighting stopped to follow headlights - on earlier units they were off with lights off but on later they are always on regardless of headlights (and it is not related to settings!). But in the same time radio reception, quality of sound and number of stations found is improved in later versions after 2.8x. so yes something was lost and so.ething us gained, and I have impression the later ones are bit more stable and better in main functional areas.

There is no risk of making any permanent damage, even if flashing wrong MCU type. Of course learn first how to reconfigure your original MCU if anything goes wrong.

So I would also suggest to give a chance to latest MCU. With major notice! After flashing MCU always perform Factory settings reconfiguration like this:

Create empty mcu.cfg file on the GPS sd card root

Flash from recovery together after mcu.img update

(empty mcu.cfg forces MCU to reset it's internal cinfiguration which may resolve all kind of problems believe me)

Reconfigure your MCU from Factory settings (write down your original settings and really them after reset)

That way you have 'factory' clean mcu of latest version. Test and if you are not satisfied with new vs lost features / behaviours, you may always return to your good old one.

For me, new one resolved issue with poor radio reception which I was sure is caused by bad antenna but after upgrade it is proven to be mcu issues - better tuning of receiver circuitry parameters enabled better s/n gain which resulted in much beter sound quality, less noise and much more station s detected / reception on longer dustance.

Anyone have the latest factory ROM 4.4.4 for MTCB rk3188 1024*600. Seen ZD but that is 800*480. Also if I can install 800 on 1024 will be OK. Thanks
[MTCB Software Development] Oldpapa49:
As Gabby Johnson said.. (Blazzing Saddles) I have updated my KLD6 MCU from V2.81 (none available to return too) to V2.91 (before V2.97 came along), but my CanBus decided to go bad. Was working for sometime.

I'm now on V2.97 so far. I did RECORD my settings from the Factory. I tend to do stuff like this. And set the newer MCU's to what I had and set stuff that looks newer to active or not.

Radio now has DSA's latest rom and the V2.97.

My CanBus decoder just sends Delay ACC (parallels the cars ACC line) and Illumination control. Nothing from my radio talks to it at all. The CanBus says Ford Explorer, I have a Ford Freestyle.

My Steering wheel is decaded serial, nothing tied to CanBus.

I did fix my CanBus, as I seem to know some electronics. Guess over 55 years of it..
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Factory (and custom) ROMs are on [MENTION=2834183]darkal[/MENTION]es's fileserver in my signature.

Actually, you went from MTCB KLD6 v2.81 to MTCC KLD6 v2.91, so you upgraded from an MTCB MCU to an MTCC one.

I found when going from MTCC KLD6 v2.91 to v2.97 I didnt have to save settings - the settings were kept, unlike the last 3 MCU upgrades where they were reset.

Your ll probably find that the Explorer and Freestyle share the same CAN Bus system.
[MTCB Software Development] tariqkhan.co.uk:
Updating the MCU improved radio and wifi. There is no way I would revert back to the older MCU so agree with what [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] and others have said.

[MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] So I updated my MCU to version MTCC KLD6 v2.91 as advised previously and everything is working fine other than the reversed RGB lighting.

Is it worth updating the MCU again to MTCC KLD6 v2.97 or is it too early to highlight improvements/issues? I'm presuming you have uploaded to the server as listed in your signature.
[MTCB Software Development] Goaz:
Everyone's claiming/stating that newer MCU=better performances, do any of you have ever read a changelog file of these new MCU?No, because these file logs simply do not exist so your statements are based on personal impression only.
[MTCB Software Development] tariqkhan.co.uk:
For me it isn't better overall performance, but better radio reception and wifi signal strength specifically.

The wifi signal strength alone is something that would force me to keep the updated MCU.

I am not disregarding your concern as my knowledge of MCU's is simply that I know how to update them and know how to roll back to an older version, so do appreciate the fact that you have highlighted a possible reason not to update. But so far, there is no real reason for me to doubt [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] as his explanation sounds right to me.
[MTCB Software Development] pa.ko:
Noone said new = better

It is oversimplifying several sentences which you should read with more care and understanding

And I decompiled and look at the code, not deeply but enough for my understanding, so I have some clue what is inside and among versions

What you know? And what is your arguments for having any opinion beside you are lacking change logs?
[MTCB Software Development] Luv-Kush:
Sorry but can I install 800 ROM on 1024 and if yes will I mess up anything ? Wanted to try ZD ROM darkales's fileserver as it has newer stuff .

Thanks
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
We re all very experienced with these units, we know what we re talking about.

So, you flash a new ROM and your tuner no longer works, whatever you try you cant get any reception, you flash the latest MCU, now your tuner works, others on here have the same problem and a new MCU sorts it out, this is all "personal impression" ? !

Plus your argument makes no sense anyway, because even if a changelog existed (it doesnt for MCU or ROMs and never has) it would not automatically mean that an improvement would be noticed, in fact having it written down would make it much more susceptible to "personal impression".

And further to that [MENTION=3266355]pa.ko[/MENTION] has decompiled the MCUs - he knows EXACTLY what hes talking about.

In short, if you dont like the advice of the experienced people on here, dont take it, but we do know what were talking about.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

An 800x480 on a 1024x600 unit will mean the scren has a black border on the right side and below, the other way round will mean that the right side and blow will be cut off.

I m wondering why you want a ZD ROM - the most up to date ROMs on the fileserver are KLD ones.
[MTCB Software Development] Luv-Kush:
I see KDL may built by DSA do you know any more recent 4.4.4 rk3188 1024 ROM.

[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
You mean KLD not KDL. ROMs are on [MENTION=2834183]darkal[/MENTION]esx's fileserver in my signature.

Dont worry about an image (although you can upload them), several people have updated to v2.97 already, nothing obviously new has been noted.

The reversed RGB is a bug thats been around for a while, resetting MCU wont help
[MTCB Software Development] tariqkhan.co.uk:
Ye, I tried resetting yesterday night and all still the same. My factory setting did not change though. The RGB is the only outstanding issue for me and was just hoping for the best.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
It is annoying, but lets face it you set the colour once and forget about it, hopefully theyll fix it at some point.

Hi Guys

Trying to get hold of my original firmware for my Eonon MTCC unit, Eonon are being painful and still after 2months wont/cant give me the original firmware.

All the rom seem to be on there server http://sbo2.net/ EG. .http://sbo2.net/cs_serial/EONON2_rk3188_p(20151019).rar

If someone has the links to the either

Eonon GA6151F Android 5.1.1 firmware link sent to them

or

A rom with Build Number - RK3188-userdebug 25072016 10:47 with a Kernel version 3.0.101+ #43

That would be really handy
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Theres no such thing as an "Eonon GA6151F", thats a made up name by Eonon who are simply resellers, they sell mainly Klyde versions and the latest Klyde MTCC factory ROM is on the fileserver in my signature. There are only 2 versions of the latest Klyde ROMs - the 1024x600 version and teh 800x480 version, they are the same for ALL Klyde units, where ever you bought them from - Eonon, Pumpkin, Erisin, Klyde direct, it doesnt matter.
[MTCB Software Development] shanetrainST:
Thank you and I do understand that, I was looking for my factory ROM with factory launcher.

As stated above

my Original Rom was - RK3188-userdebug 25072016 10:47 with a Kernel version 3.0.101+ #43

Your latest MTCC Rom is - RK3188-Userdebug 22062016 with a Kernel #11

http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/firmware/L%205.1.1%20Quadcore/KLD%205.1.1%20MTCC%20Quadcore%201024x600%20/

Any chance you have any builds from the 25072016?

Thanks
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Not my ROMs, I just put everything I can on there to make it easier for everyone to get what they wnat. I guess I may have missed one, you could always look through the Lollipop for MTCB/C thread and see if I ve missed a factory one. Or you could look through the Pumpkin forum and see if there are any later ones.

If I have missed one or you find one later let me know and I ll upload it.

Why does the date have to be exactly the same ?
[MTCB Software Development] shanetrainST:
Just would like that particular factory rom just incase I sell the unit if I upgrade my car, that rom was pretty clean and worked well.

Since going to dsa & malaysk Firmware I have lost RDS, even though I am at the lasted MCU and have that feature on in the factory menu, so it would be nice for it to work again.

Eonon have been less than forthcoming in releasing firmware, I know all the Roms might appear the same but it's the factory launcher I would like to have again.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Right, well the date is not that important TBH. The ROMs are exactly the same for ALL units, other than the 2 different screen resolutions - the screen res is the only difference, other than updates, what I m saying is that, the only thing that is important is the date for you, not what ever made up number Eonon has given your unit.

I take it you have gone into factory settings and made sure that RDS is on ?

What MCU are you on now ? Its far more likely that the MCU is where the problem lies with RDS, not the ROM.
[MTCB Software Development] shanetrainST:
Thanks, I will have a look around the pumpkin forum for the latest firmware.

MCU - from factory KLD6 2.97

RDS in factory menu - on
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Pointless - I doubt it wont bring back your RDS - this is controlled by the MCU, not the ROM.

What MCU type did you start off with MTCC I guess ? Have you tried changing radio tuner type in factory settings ?

Downgrading your MCU may well bring back your RDS and you may also be able to upgrade back to 2.97 after its been restored.
[MTCB Software Development] shanetrainST:
My unit come with 2.97 and I have remained at that version without any change. I might try your suggestion today, thanks
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
I ve found an August dated ROM which I ve put on the fileserver.
[MTCB Software Development] shanetrainST:
Thanks, I loaded the August rom but the launcher is different (basic and plain), might be my fault cause it gave me two options of launchers so I must have picked the wrong one.

Not sure how hard it is to add the launcher from the June rom to the August rom, just for a bit of consistency between stock klyde roms.
[MTCB Software Development] typos1:
Its easy to add a launcher, no need to flash the entire ROM just cos you wanna change it !

Its even easier to change laucnhers if you have 2 - go into app, select all and find the launcher, clear data, when you press "home" again, you should get the choice of launchers again.
