Hi,

I bought a car with an adroid radio. OS 7.1.2 it is not rooted, and I would like to root:) I tried out some kodes in fastory settings, but it didn't work. Can I flash this rom on my device.

I have Hizpo PX3 with the following specs and created a USB using SD Firmware Tool. Contents on USB are rksdfw.cfg, sd_boot_config.config, sdupdate.img and two folders Android and LOST.DIR. However, I do not get prompted to update FW when I insert the USB. My unit does not have a SD slot. Am I doing something wrong?

You're following the wrong set of instructions. You don't need to use the firmware tool as your radio is already on 7.1.2 The firmware tool is for upgrading from Android 5.1.1 only.

Quoted from OP

Your steps are basically the same. Just format your usb stick to FAT32, and insert into your radio. Shortly after it should give you the update prompt.

The prompt is actually something along the lines of "Firmware update detected". You want to choose to wipe data as well since you're coming from a stock rom.
[MTCD Software Development] Project999:
I formatted the USB with fat32, then copied nupdate.img file to root of usb, insterted to my radio unit. It prompted to update, I checked wipe and install. Then it reboots, Erasing, then Error!
[MTCD Software Development] Project999:
Ok, it finally worked. The problem was my USB stick. I used another USB stick, formatted with fat32 and put nupdate.img file and everything went fine this time. Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] Project999:
I've successfully installed Hak9 on my Hizpo PX3 2gb RAM with 7.1.2 and love it. Now how can I get rid of the radio shortcut gadget from homescreen and which launcher do I need to make my own custom themese? Is it Xposed?
[MTCD Software Development] Hazard15301:
Just install any launcher from the play store that supports customization. I'm a fan of Nova launcher, but your preferences may vary.

Hal I finallty found the firmware files for my unit. Can you take a look if its possible to optimize this thing? The unit is very slow especially with waze. There are a bunch of guys that would be grateful on bimmerforums.

Not all headunits use both RX and TX, I d assume that the seller sent the correct loom with the unit ?

[MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION] has a thread about it, its in the hardware section I think.

Its a microG problem - the dev has stopped maintaining it.

You need to use the bootable sdcard to boot the unit, as soon as "Nougat" appears on the screen eject the card then insert the update card and flash the update.

Yes.

Or he can use one of the MTC launchers the ROM comes with.

You have 1Gb RAM I m guessing ?

Now that microG is dead, how about making an Android One type ROM for 1Gb units [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] ? (although I realise youre probably busy with Oreo for RK3368/PX5 units at the mo :) )
[MTCD Software Development] thecos77:

[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Hmm, it shouldnt really be slow with 2Gb.

[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] this is some more info on the unit I have : https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1500481&page=40

Do you think you can port your ROM to use with these units?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
To identify any Android head unit we need an MCU, I cant find any in that link and the units I found from the first thread do not look like MTCD/E units, so it wouldnt be "porting" so much as starting again completely on a ROM for those units and [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] doesnt have one and hed need one to make a ROM for it.

I believe you have to go into the apk installer app then choose the hal9k stuff and install from there.

YouTube Vanced

How do you install YouTube Vanced to a headunit running Hal9k's ROM and MicroG?

https://www.xda-developers.com/youtube-vanced-apk-root/

TWRP does not work. Installing Magisk requires TWRP, so that's out of the question. I don't want to install the non-root -version as it comes with it's own MicroG and I read on this thread they don't work together.

Would it be possible to integrate YouTube Vanced directly to the ROM's next version?
[MTCD Software Development] kacpelucha01:
if you use Google Play instead of microG, YouTube Vanced non root works. and you can log in to your account on YT Vanced. I have it myself. try to install YT Vanced, restart unit m, then install microG again restart unit and try to log in to your account on YT

Hi, having trouble installing / upgrading. So might have missed something.

Have kgl mctd android 5.2.2

Had a screen / lcd hardware problem I've now repaired but in process unit just started bootlooping after car logo. I'm guessing several shorts or breaks from the faulty connector may have corrupted stuff.

I'm able to get into recovery and tried several wipes / resets etc. Then decided I may as well upgrade to the best custom rom available.

So have 2x cards, both have been processed and copied rom installed by the SD firmware tool.

During 1st attempt at install saw the new android logo before getting to recovery but button input had gone. Is now touch screen. However text on screen is very corrupted. After selecting install from usb/sd>usb, the screen scrolled quickly with loads of garbled text. I could sort of make out the word aborted. (can post pic if needed)

And that was it. Tried a few times, more wipes and even tried updating mcu but same result.

Is this known about or a sign of more serious hardware issues?

I might try version for 5 in the meantime, but would really like to get 7 on there.

thanks

Update.

Version 5 wont install either. Unable to properly read results but can just make out aborted still.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
5.1.1. is the only Lollipop ROM available, theres no 5.2.2.

You dont say what processor you have - RK3188/PX3 or RK3368/PX5, you can only use this ROM on RK3188/PX3 units.

If youre using sdfirmware tool for both sdcards youre doing it wrong - you need only 1 sdcard made using sdfirmware tool, the other should just have a normal copy of the ROM on it. Use the sdfirmware tools sdcard to get into Nougat recovery, as soon as Nougat appears on screen eject that sdcard and replace with the sdcard with the normal copy of the ROM on, then flash it. It doesnt matter if you put the sdcard with the normal copy of the ROM on it in the GPS sdcard slot or via usb.

Pics of the garbled text would help.
[MTCD Software Development] cleverdicky:
OK thanks I get it now. Easier to understand than the instructions.

I'm working away from home ATM so can't do anything. Unit is rk3188 px3.

I have very same expierience. I put there heatsink and fan and tried to play with it. But cpu wont go over 1416Mhz in any governor. I have Bonroad PX3 2GB 7.1.2. I tried also Malaysk mod and it was the same. I had N 7.1.2 from the begining so dont know if it was different with 5.1.1. Any solution? Or it was changed purposely because of overheating? My device after cca 2 hours of runing WAZE started to freeze till cool down cca 1/2 hour, so I put there heatsink and fan - now it is OK. But I`d like to speed it up if possible :)

Heres the pic from last week. Unfortunatly unit wont boot at all now. Dead? Bricked?

Using bench power supply i can see its not even pulling the same power. Lights are on but nobodys home. It does flash 3 times when i try to get recovery but thats it.

It does also seem to 'sleep' after about 10 mins. Lights go off and power draw is only about 0.27 amps

Maybe it was hardware fault ?

You must prepare an SD card. This will repair the system.

[MTCD Software Development] DarkSorcerer:
Hi there,

Let me start by saying that this ROM is really good - it feels like a BIG improvement over the stock ROM - and I'm really enjoying it! Great mods! Congrats to OP.

Now, I do seem to have a problem: I have a px3 (800x480) with this ROM and XRC2 MCU, which is the latest for my model. I have a problem that I was hoping it would get fixed by installing this ROM, but it didn't: when on call, mainly if I'm starting the call, people hear me with a 2-second lag. It is infuriating, as it seems that I'm talking in slow motion.

Anyone with the same problem that can help me?

Best,
[MTCD Software Development] panteryx_26:
No. I just installed the unit. I didn't think I had to do anything extra

Just thought i'd post to say i have just installed this, and besides 1 small scare half way through the install, it is up and working fine.

1 thing i would like to change though is the notification bar, i moved it to the bottom as it is easier to use in the car, but it still swipes from the top, be nice to change this also to swipe upwards from the status bar

Hallo, the ROM is GREAT!!! I just want to ask you if there is an option to split screen on 2 parts?

Please guide me to the proper options. Sorry for my English!

this is the android box in question. I do not know if you know the system I'm talking about, it is a component that integrates with the original mercedes keeping all the functions and by pressing a button in an Android area managed by px3. Thanks for your help
[MTCD Software Development] Hoppengeist:
I guess you should stick with the stock firmware, apart from the radio issue. Now to the radio: even if you have a chip, which I doubt as of your description, you would need a radio signal. The one from your Mercedes will most certainly not be handed over to the box. Do you have a usb for the Box? Try to think about a DAB adapter maybe!
[MTCD Software Development] LordAnpu:
You did not give the car model or device model, but I assume you don't have android radio, only android interface for your car multimedia system.

This interface give you android functionality and navigation on onboard display but for FM radio you must use onboard radio witch should be part of your multimedia system. It's only speculation, but box HU typical for interface and lack of FM antenna connector can mean that I'm right.
[MTCD Software Development] caturano:
the model of the car is mercedes GLA year 2014, this system works parallel to the mercedes system and certainly the radio signal does not pass on the Android system but should have a personal one since there is an app I do not know if I can otherwise put the link on the system question anyway just look for "Android mercedes gla" and it is found. Thank you

In factory settings there should be an option that says "radio yes/no". Is there an antenna connector on the back of your unit ?

Is there an antenna cable on your car ?
[MTCD Software Development] caturano:
the antenna cable exists But it is on the original Mercedes unit
[MTCD Software Development] caturano:
and in factory setting the radio option is already on. As you will see from the images
[MTCD Software Development] iRcKenny:
Having Radio option on factory settings means nothing, like TMPS, DVR, DVD etc etc if in on the "box" wasnt a radio receiver. TMPS decoder, DVR camer, DVD optical drive; that mean simply the unit CAN be equiped with this stuffs.

For what you describe you unit itsnt equiped with a radio sinto.

Ask at your seller for that he can surelly help you.
[MTCD Software Development] caturano:
the seller after taking the money does not answer anymore and for what little he answered he does not understand anything! anyway, I think it's just like you say I wanted to make sure I did not have the radio chip but I do not know how to do it
[MTCD Software Development] iRcKenny:
Its simple, like other forums member said, you have radio if you have the antenna connettor on the unit, that's all!

Also i read some specs for a equivalent head unit from seicane: for radio you need use tre factory car radio system:

Radio

RDS support	Yes

FM/AM frequency	Support original car's Radio

Storage quantity	Support original car's Radio

Radio Receptor	Support original car's Radio

Radio area	Support original car's Radio

Your android box should be connected to onboard multimedia system somehow. I don't know Mercedes but in BMW android device is connected with car system and can operate android functionality and original car multimedia funcionality.

Try to choose radio from car source button, probably android screen will switch to original radio. I know it's not perfect, but some device work like that.
