Doesn't make sense you must be leaving something out??

You couldn't have been flashing OB with a locked bootloader it would have just failed.

use fastboot getvar to check your bootloader status. if it is unlocked then unlock critical and flash the back to stock zip on this thread.

That will correct your issue they even have the OB3 out https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681

You could even flash it through TWRP recovery as long as you bootloader is unlocked.

Is there any music player that has an album toggle button? I've been through dozens of music players and can't find any with this feature. I use my tablet in my car and I want to be able to hit one button to toggle between album, shuffle, and normal. Obviously I can go through the menus and switch from album to songs but I want something quick and easy while driving.

You can do Factory Reset : (this wiil wipe your data ) so make sure you first remove you Google and other accounts before doing this , or you can use

CM Security app to clean viruses .

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mongo999:
It may not be a virus but it is a likely result of adware that was installed as part of an app you installed.

You could probably find out what installed it by using a good security scanner. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the phone back to Factory settings. Make sure you back up your data.

- note the approx 5 minutes of grey screen before "erase" is seen, proceeding first SDCard install of android 8 recovery files.

Team effort. Noted no BT with wd725 (integrated wifi/bt.)

Technical details of the 'Upgrade" - maybe useful in other upgrade scenarios:

- The Android 6 [update.img] [miniloaderall.bin] has been replaced with the Oreo [miniloaderall.bin] from the Oreo OTG ROM Extract.

- The modifed Android 6 update image is used to create a bootable SDCARD. containing the the Oreo Miniloader.

- SDCARD flashes the OREO Recovery images to NAND.

- With Oreo Recovery installed, .ZIP upgrade images can be installed.

Hi,

With resellers not proving a PX5 Oreo ROM image and no other member having OTG and as I have OTG and the jig/tools I could provide a ROM extract if the community provides a PX5 Oreo core board or complete unit.

Any supporters for either loaning a PX5 Oreo SOM or funding a complete unit?

If loaned I would extract ROM and return SOM within 2 days.
[MTCD Software Development] xdamember2:
I will likely be able to loan a unit or SOM within a week or so. I noticed the SOM rev 8 (used in the Oreo hu) has more header pins than the earlier version though some may be blank. Is your hardware compatible?

So it is HCT PX5 SoM Rev8.0 Designed 2017-06-09 Interesting.

It looks like targeted at 8.0 Beta 2 time SoM prototype rushed into manufacturing?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Why would you say that ? My MM 4Gb RK3368/PX5 SoM is also rev8.0.

[MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION] you could try using MTCD ROM Builder (here, needs a Linux machine : https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/mtcd-software-development/tool-mtcd-rom-builder-t3475444 ) to make an image using the files in the zip. Theres the option to use FUSE which may get a round any partitioning problems.

I use Linux so I can make an image if youve got somewhere I can upload it to.

Maybe I ll try it myself, its just the hassle of trying to unbrick it if it bricks.

EDIT: just re read that thread and see youve already posted in it and used it on your RK3368/PX5, not sure it would work anyway as I think it requires a proper image already, dont think it can make one from separate images.
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
To create the image we need the partition addresses....so..unless we got an update with the classic .img or we could dump it from an already MTCD px5 under android 8.

I am going to receive a 4gb/32 px5 board with preinstalled android 8...but I don't know how to do for my pc to recognize it in order to dump the software...(I did before for android tv under rk3288)

Any suggestion?

[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
But would we need the partition addresses if we create a FUSE ROM ? - MTCD ROM Builder will make one big partition surely ?

ill hope someone will help me out, i waited already from november on this update

I reformatted my 16gb USB key I use to load images using the process outlined. Loaded the sdupdate.img for 8, rebooted the HA headunit into recovery. It sees the USB key, but will only accept either a OTA.zip or update.img file.

I can rename the sdupdate to update, but I'm unsure what would happen if I did that. Can you update recovery without the file being named sdupdate? Or entering recovery directly without it detecting the SDcard?

Curious how to get this to work for those of us without an SDcard slot.
[MTCD Software Development] hv006:
I renamed sdupdate to update.img

Installed the update.img file from the 6.0 launcher it was restarting to update after 20% the screen goes off only touch buttons are working now

I tried it over and solved it.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Well you could try a bootable sd card in a usb adapter, not sure if it will work though.

Seems unlikely, you may have to go the OTG route or maybe solder in a switch to add a hard power button to make it easier to get into recovery.

Cant think of anything to else to suggest.

Maybe someone else can think of something ?

I really stressed that i bricked my lovely unit :(
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
I had that. Power cycle - completely remove power a few times until you get a boot.

Failing that, SDCard in an adaptor inserted in USB 1. You should have received a card and an adaptor?

Worst case, create a android 6 sdboot card.
[MTCD Software Development] hv006:
I will try tomorrow to remove the terminal from my car so the power will total goes off

But i dont think it will helped the sdupdate.img i renamed it to update.img and start it from settings menu

Hi @ kumarai - I tried the January update you mention. It didn't solve the problem for me. You have MD725? Did you use that version when upgrading or after upgrading?

Nice work by the way.

thankyou very much for that offer !

i will try it first by myself ofcourse

is this the way i need to go ? i installed the stock sended usb adapter with a 32gb micro sd card to my headunit to the dual usb port on the headunit but no result the thirth usb option i didnt tried that is an optionail cable for 4g adapter or something ? The purple one from the picture or do i need to try that cable also ?

i tried it with the latest hotaudio px5 6.0 firmware see screendump

also removed already the full power of the unit a few times but nothings happend :(

also tried sd boot option from screenshot but also no result

and both tried also with the reset button

Marchnz , some people are having some difficulties trying to update their head units ,and it would be very helpful for them if a video could be created showing step by step how to do the update. (it's just a thought):D
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
Hi,

I took some pics and a small video when I did it. I've put hours into this - many - and helping others to get OTG. I'd really like to put my time into helping others get OTG.

So, perhaps someone else could pick up that opportunity to create a step by step. Also, Ive reverted back to Android 6 due to Bluetooth and that I don't see any real advantage in 8 for me at this time (I need root and graser tool to pair my one link lx.)

I only have a single unit, which lives in my car which is quite a hindrance, so if absolutely no one wants to pick up this opportunity to create a video, I'll do it in a week or so time (I truly believe that the step by step kumarai created should be good enough ;)

Also, another head unit would help, one that could live on the bench if someone wants to send my way that would help get a video quicker :)

That reminds me, I have a pX5 oreo SOM to send back to XDA members - that's going to be a cost. He's a legend for trusting me and sending me an expensive SOM halfway around the world.
[MTCD Software Development] leecox:
If you're going to have to open it up to remove the SoM and send it to be reflashed (seems like that is where you are...), might be worth seeing if there is an SDCard slot inside the headunit on the MCU board. Worthwhile to try and get it back up and running, I'm curious about the same on mine.
[MTCD Software Development] hv006:

it is my daily and only headunit if i need to send it to the other site of the world im lose the unit for at minimum 2 weeks :(

maybe i can better buyed a mainboard upgrade px5 4gb board i was in the understanding the price was around 130$

if i need to send it to the other side of the world shipping cost will also me around at minium 150 dollar i think also i need to pay tax if you send it back i think

if you or someone have some information to help me out

any help is greatly appreciated !!

Format your SDcard with the SDCard format tool.

Then create Android 6 upgrade with the android SDCard create tool.

Yes, plug in that additional USB cable and try your SDcard in that.

You can open the unit by taking the bottom and back off without disturbing the warranty stickers, not that the warranty is worth much anyway.

I know that we can flash Oreo on the 2GB PX5's.

Look at the picture in #14 (this thread)... It has Oreo and 4GB of ram (same Rev. and date as mine).

Does it mean that if you have a PX5 board rev. 8.0 in your hand, you can not say if it has 2 or 4 GB Ram till you installed it in your HU or looked at the memory chips?

The only one difference is that my PCB is green and the 4GB/Oreo blue (single indication?)

by my mainboard but this is a 6pin j3 connector

are you sure this is the right one on the board i see no 8 pin on it
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
There are rev8 boards with and without Oreo.

Yes, you cant tell unless you look at the RAM chips or put it in a unit.

Can you see any more similar small ribbon connectors on any of your boards ?
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
HA made Sofia for a while...I had a Sofia as well.

I fact...My px5 mainboard is a Sofia v3.

I did notice that Sofia owners could upgrade to px5....the mainboard is close the same and the interface with coreboard as well.

The only difference I found is the bt+Wi-Fi chip that is not soldered into the mainboard (as is included into the som)

With a px5 coreboard connected and a rtl8723 dual Wi-Fi and bt usb plug...I think you can do a full upgrade to px5

I will.take some.photos to the real.sofia MTCD board that I have.
