Upgrade to Malask Oreo from Malask Marshmallow

I have px5 mtcd gs head unit (Xtrons PB7646BAP: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/mtcd-android-head-units-general/xtron-pb7690bp-t3680781)

I am trying to install Malask Oreo 3.5 update, using method I (I already have Malask 6.x firmware installed), I copy update.zip to sd card and insert. In recovery, I select "Apply update package from sd card or usb". I get error back: "Failed to verify whole-file signature".

What can I do? Instead of ADB, is there a way to do this from Android Linux command line? I'm rooted and have terminal emulator.

Thanks!

Actually, this might be a better way for me to go: III Installing the firmware, who installs my MOD for the first time and does not have an SD card in the device.

Problem is, the instructions are a bit confusing from this point:

5- Download*https://yadi.sk/d/oiVapjo9sVWw3A*its recovery.img and put it on the device to the main folder .
6- Download adbkit that include adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll и AdbWinUsbApi.dll. https://yadi.sk/d/5lbDvNC0TRJQ0w
7 - Run cmd at admin privileges.*
Run this commands when you wait unrill everyone runs clearly and successfully .

Code:
adb connect <IP-ofthe device>
adb root
adb connect <IP-of the device>
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

adb shell busybox dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery
adb reboot recovery
now you in the recovery.*
[B]Put usb with update.zip
chose unstall from usb
Wait untill its installs and then wipe and reboot[/B]

[B]8- After you boot. Put second usb with Malay 3.0 update.zip and chose update.[/B]

9- After you rebooted and updated. You ready to use this incredible mod.

Instead of using adb, I can execute the above directly on unit from command line. But I do not understand #8. I have already installed update.zip in #7. There are TWO update.zip files? If so, where is the second one?

first you need a navigation app mapped to the navigation icon.

then check in settings - location services if it's enabled and high accuracy.

turn location services off and then back on (slide the button)

test again

That is ok, you just don't have recovery backup

Is it not true? That you have no space left? Try making factory reset before flashing.

Also check that answer:

[MTCD Software Development] vegechuang:
I try factory data reset,then it reboot,and the device didn't reboot at all (screen black without nothing) until i stamp reset button.

I try to enter recovery to wipe data but I can't enter the original recovery at this time.

Could someboday provide original recovery?

can i try 'adb shell busybox dd if=/sdcard/zero of=/dev/block/platform/ff0f0000.rksdmmc/by-name/recovery' first？

still show "No space left on device"

Failed to mount /mnt/external_sd error on insall

Installing 3.50 on px5 gs mtcd unit.

Using install method II. Using the GPS ("maps") sd slot. Bootable SD installed. Removed that SD, unit rebooted, I saw an image, then screen went blank for about 10 minutes. Then I saw "Erase" appear, then the screen started flashing the error messages in the attached image. This just keeps flashing every few seconds, over and over. What shall I do?

Shortly after booting up in Oreo, I got a SystemUI error, and it closed. My StatusBar disappeared. I have rebooted, and rebooted UI, but it still hasn't come back. Any suggestions?

VPN Issue with IP of Local Machine

Finally got Malaysk Oreo ROM installed and working. Updated to version 3.51 (OTA!).

Not really seeing a whole lot of big problems, but there is one I noticed with the VPN. I run my VPN server from my local network.

I've tried both OpenVPN for Android and OpenVPN Connect and direct PPTP, and have the same issue. The VPN connection works from the standpoint of being able to access my local network, but it does not assign the local machine a local IP, which is how both of these apps work on my other devices.

So, when connected to the local server VPN, my head unit is not given an IP on the local network, therefore cannot be reached.

Any suggestions?

hello,i have installed the malaysk mod 3.5.1 and aeverything is fine!my dab antenna does not get any signal(same with the stock rom).How can i fix this?

Try a different app, like dab+ from the playstore. Are you sure your dab antenna is working?

For those who have bricken unit.

Make sure that you disconnect the battery connection - not just the Acc connection and then power back on with SDcard in

The unit is bought from EONON , model GA2170.

Cannot find the producer after this code www What do you think, I can install Malaysk ROM? My unit it's unrooted and I need root to install a 3g modem

Many thanks!

I did a ps | grep on gocsdk and sdsdk on my hu and the gocsdk showed activity. Since there is a 1 after my mcu I assume I am a type 1??? I've been holding off the upgrade until I knew BT was going to work. Does this mean my hu BT may work OK?

My main reason to upgrade to A8 is to fix Maps so I can run the latest versions. I just upgraded my mcu to ha 2.80 and it may have helped maps (still testiing). And I am concerned TPMS, Xposed edge pro, and DVR may have issues starting in A8. Work perfect now in A6. Any feed back on these apps would be appreciated.
[MTCD Software Development] ADB100:
OK - that was it. Thanks.

I can see a 'Malay Mod' on the 1st boot screen now - obviously Malaysk's modified recovery.

Now to try and get TomTom Go working again - seem to recall it was a pain last time - serial numbers?

[MTCD Software Development] Wout2426:
Installing TomTom was no problem. Only problem that in 3d view I see no roads, only the line I have to follow.

I've put the view in 2d, than roads show.

Think it's a TomTom problem, app is not updated since October, maybe not compatible with Oreo ?

Can you let me know if you have the same issue ?
[MTCD Software Development] ADB100:
I can't get TomTom to work - it installs fine (either from the APK or from the play store) but I get the dreaded 'can't connect to tomtom try again later'...

I have enabled all the modules in Xposed as well as tried the serial number change module and the 'changer' module but am not having any luck. If I use the serial number changer module and set a 12-digit serial number then in system, about it shows 'unknown' as the serial number?

I am sure it wasn't this difficult with the previous ROM?

Andy
[MTCD Software Development] Wout2426:
TomTom installed from play store and worked without modules. Restore with email and password and my subscription was back. No problems.

I had that problem on my px3, but I upgraded with px5 board.
[MTCD Software Development] michael08071984:
Didnt worked for me either :-/
[MTCD Software Development] ADB100:
Hmm? I remember having to change the serial number to be 12-characters previously?

I hate it when simple things don't go smoothly...

If I add the Serial Number changer module, enable it, change the serial number and reboot Android doesn't know the serial number and just shows 'unknown'. In the Xposed logs I see it continually trying to change the serial number but being unsucessful (see attached image).

I am stuck on how to get TomTom Go working? Anyone?

[MTCD Software Development] Mad_Mod:
TomTom 3D & connecting..

I have installed tomtom already (just for test.. I prefer iGO Pal!) without any problems but the 3D did not work yet idd, so you already know that!

Ps: restart your tomtom if you did not receive a connection.

and now I'm going to remove it.. happy with my iGO Pal already!

Ok for now i am on android 6.0 with malay v7.2.

Everything works ok.

So my question to all.

Is it worth to update to oreo 8.0 ?

Is everthing like bluetooth, teleophone calls and the android system 8.0 running smoothly on px5 2gb unit or are there any problems.

Thank you very much in Advance
[MTCD Software Development] Mad_Mod:
Hi,

at first I use an iGO Pal, not the one that came with it (google for it!)..

secondly, if you are going to use that igo pal, always use that pongo skin with it (google for it !, I can not put the links to it here.. as far as I knew?).. and so all your igo problems will be resolved (fix it) at once .

Ps: to answer your questions: it has to do with the: 1- license , 2- global_cfg , 3- the skin , 4- the chosen voice.. use google tts!!

good luck!

After many many trys, I have got a final solution now!

All I have to do was to boot into old stock oreo recovery and wipe data/factory reset. :) :svetius:

When finished, I inserted the SD card in GPS slot prepared with Malaysk recovery and rebooted the unit. It automatically booted from SD card, android 6 splash screen was shown.

And then, after a few seconds, the green droidman pops up and installed the new recovery!

I successfully installed Malaysk Oreo now with zip file. No errors.

So my steps for creating the SD card seems to be fine.

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped me out of this problem. :)

Couple of things that worked on Malaysk PX5 7.2 (Android 6) but not on this ROM?

My Google contacts synced with the Android 6.0 ROM by Malaysk, they don't with this ROM. I have installed Google Contacts and Google Contacts Sync (tried a few different versions) however my Google contacts don't appear and a message appears saying 'syncing your contacts from google. this may take a minute' and it never completes. In the accounts sync settings 'People' is checked and it says its synced.

I have installed Gmail from the play store along with the Exchange Services apk and I have synced with an Exchange server and my Exchange contacts are synced. I did the same with the 6.0 ROM. I used to be able to dial from the contacts app by pressing the call button - this would pass the number to the bluetooth app and a call would be made on the paired phone. This doesn't work on the 8.0 ROM.

TomTom GO - I simply can't get this working. I get the dreaded "Can't connect to TomTom. Try again Later" error message. With the 6.0 ROM I had MTC-Service 2.36D installed and this changed the serial number and allowed TomTom to work. I have tried this as well as other Xposed modules but I simply can't get passed this error. I have installed it from the Play store and manually and neither get passed this error.

I am starting to regret installing Oreo...

Andy
[MTCD Software Development] Blitz_s14:
I could not get my contact to sync to the Google Contacts app I downloaded from the play store. My work around was to export my contacts from Gmail as a vCard format, then import it to the Google Contact app. Then installed MtcDialer and launched google now and told it to call one of my contacts. It then asked me select what to dial with and I picked MtcDialer as my default.

I have some troubles with flashing your rom. Dont find the reason why it wont work

I have a joying px5 6.2 inch 2gb/16gb (rockchip version)

Radio don't want to boot with any rockchip tool sd card (Malaysk/hal9k/Root etc) (buttons on radio go on for 1 second and thats it radio keeps pulling around 600/700mA and screen stays black)

did email joying for a upgrade to android 8

there image with rockchip tool works out of the box (i dont like there rom that much but i also need root)

but now there is no way to enter recovery mode anymore (only option that worked for me with android 6.0 was with a usb keyboard and pressing right alt + print screen and keep pressing E)

Joying doesn't want to help they just said customers don't need to go in recovery mode .....

also the mod installer APK keeps giving the message please wait ...

going in recovery with terminal just gives 2 reboots and boots back to android

After 2 week of trying i have no idea to get this to work =(

I don't think I got the DAB app to work with any of the V3 versions

The last time I got it working was with V2 version of this rom

The app loads up in the V3 versions, but I cannot get it to scan for any stations, no matter what version of the DAB app I install :(

I know it is not my ariel becasue it has worked before in the earlier version of this rom

EDIT..... Actually, I had problems with V2 see here how I fixed it I have not tried this solution again on my new V3.5 install, perhaps you could try this ?
[MTCD Software Development] toubanos21:

[MTCD Software Development] budlynch:
Well this is strange, but good news for me, I unplugged my DAB from the USB and uninstalled the DAB app. I then rebooted the unit and installed the DAB app from the one supplied with this rom. I then plugged in my DABUSB and the pop up came up about "do you want the app to auto open when this usb device is plugged in," or words to that effect and I clicked CANCEL

I then opened up the DAB app manually and clicked on the search icon and it began searching and saving stations

It now works and I am pretty sure I have more working stations than the last time the DAB worked for me, hopefully you may have the same results. I have the latest v3.5 rom installed with the most recent OTA update (maybe the OTA update fixed it becasue it did not work when I first upgraded to v3.5 rom

What?

My DABunit is a usb unit which just plugs into one of the USB ports on the cable (there is a green USB port, a red USB port and a yellow USB port and I am using the yellow port) Does your DAB unit not do that ? Is it not a USB DAB? I do not see why a technician would be needed if you have a USBDAB unit becasue they just push into one of the USB ports on the cable,. so you should have access to your USB ports surely ?

And mine is usb but i have connected in the usb port behind the unit not the front!
