your Heatsink

I wonder what a heatsink of your design made from aluminum would compare to the great temps that you got in your video? my setup is having heat issues and I'm trying to fix! I say aluminum because of its great heat characteristics and lower cost!
[MTCD Software Development] Antoz1103:
I have an Kunfine PX5 Radio. I have the Version 6.2 on my Radio from Malaysk. So it must be able to flash to Oreo. But i dont know why it does not do it. Has it been fully disconnected from Battery?! When yes then i dont flash it because i am not going to built the Radio out :D

Ahhh then u mean my SD GPS Slot is on a USB Controller. If it is connected directly to the Device it can boot. I read about something like that. But when i insert a SD Card in the GPS Slot. Under Bootet up android system it says then USB3 so i think my SD Slot is a normaly USB Slot :D

OK i will search a usb flashing guide. Hopefully i can flash this thing on it. thx

Can u pls help me with the Bootable usb device?! because if i search keywords it finds not really something or am i an idiot in searching?! :D
[MTCD Software Development] ankerede:
I would be interested in a bootable USB drive as well, as my SD slot is behind the dashboard.

Thanks in advance!!

Your heatsink do you sell your creation?

No, it wouldn't be worth it.

Tomorrow I will release the 3D model.

Hey guys.

I've flashed the rom, everything is running smoothly and is working fine...besides Viper4Android.

Was anyone able to install it and also the drivers?

Everytime I start V4A I have to install its drivers, but I only get an I/O error message.
[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
Uhh, then i have to wait until V4A will work with Malaysk 8.0 rom :)
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
Scorillo, what do you say about me that I can get into recovery only from USB keyboard? With the new recovery 8 I would have trouble getting into it? I'm trying to make bootable SD from the Windows 7 virtual machine. I'm almost ready to make the 2 micro SD with Malaysk's Rom.

How good is this rom on a 2gb hu?
[MTCD Software Development] viniciusdasilva:
I installed on my Xtrons with 2gb and it works fine. I was installed the official GS Android 8 version a month ago and it worked very well, but my HU has the resolution 800 x 480, so I wanted a way to change this and in the official version, without root it was not possible.

Differences between the 2 versions:

In the official all works very smooth and fast, better than the Android 6 versions. Waze and Google Maps work perfectly. I didn't notice any bugs or errors. I liked it a lot.

In the Malaysk rom all works fine too, but I noticed it was not so smooth than the official. Many options in the Malaysk Android 6 versions aren't in the Android 8 version yet (obviously. It's the first version).

I could change the resolution with Easy DPI changer, downloaded at Play Store.

The only bug I noticed in this version was a crash in the "LancherLM". I've changed to Nova Launcher and forced stop the LancherLM and it was solved.

My PX5 unit MCU version is MTCE_WWW_V2.78_1

will this work on my unit?
[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
I don’t know what to say, I have hardware button...

As you may read in Malaysk’s post, the hardware key access to recovery is a requirement. So I think it will not work.
[MTCD Software Development] nFKT:
Yes I have the same unit

I'm running it, bootup times seem a little longer than v6 however performance is about the same, and since its v8 you have access to newer apps. I'm staying with it so far.
[MTCD Software Development] Nasty_z:
How can I flash the zip file? I tried using Flashfire but it simply gets stuck on a black screen. I don't think twrp exists for PX5.

Additionally, if there is a way to convert to Magisk then I can use the Magisk module for Viper4Android. So if anyone knows a way to do that then do let me know..

Thanks

Hi,

your question seems like you are asking someone the following: does my eyes hurt?

but to give an answer to your question men has to know first: wich car have you? and does it fits a 1 or 2 din radio in it and is your car radio opning dash for 7 or 10 inch screen etc etc etc?. but for general I would buy GS headunit if I were you!

Godspeed
[MTCD Software Development] yakie996:
Toyota Yaris it supports 2 din with 7inch display, I would like to later flash this rom on the head unit, prefferably from aliexpress :)
[MTCD Software Development] bonesy85:
Did you need to install the android_6.0.1 firmware first (steps 1-3) or can I just enter recovery mode and start from step 4 since the unit already has android 8.0 oreo installed?
[MTCD Software Development] Mad_Mod:
Go for GS xtrons headunit with sd card too!!!
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
Actually not even the start from SD works. I'm not even having the chance to risk. I'm trying all the possible methods I also used Windows 7 but the flash of the new recovery does not start. I fear there is nothing to do for my unity. No boot SD, no physical buttons. I have to give up. : (

[MTCD Software Development] mad212:
So after having this rom installed for over a week with no problems the HU froze up on me. Hey it happens on my phone sometimes. So I clicked reset and was stuck in a bootloop. I entered recovery and tried clearing cache but that got hung up for over 20 mins. I forced a reboot again and then nothing. I see some text but it goes by too quickly to read it. I tried recovering with the boot image in the OP but didn't work. Pretty sure I'm hard bricked now. I just want to warn people that bricking your device is very possible because I'm not the only one that has had this issue. Does anyone know where I can buy just a new px5 SOM?
[MTCD Software Development] JonnyG1980:
Hi again. I'm gradually working my way through this thread to give me better insight into flashing Malaysk's ROM on my GS MTCE. Is see one question that (I think) hasn't been definitively answered though.

As my headunit is already on 8.0, do I need to use the 1st SD card? Or can I skip straight to part 4 and enter the recovery to flash the ROM?

EDIT - Perhaps it has. Can I just flash this ROM from inside the stock ROM using the system menu?

EDIT - Seems not. Tried to flash via option in recovery but fails verification.

Bluetooth is connecting for me and it looks like it's working through A2DP, but the music app doesnt pull any of the information. Anyone else having this issue??
[MTCD Software Development] JonatanP:
In some PX5 units the bluetooth doesn't work with Android 8 (like inb my case).

I am waiting for a fix
[MTCD Software Development] bonfire62:
Have you tried downgrading? Could I do this with just the second SD card update? (Install from recovery)
[MTCD Software Development] Ferdynand40:
Passive is better than nothing but you got about 90°C after 3rd run..... I used a small heatsink + fan and after that I didn't saw more than 70°C (lets wait till summer)...

I run CPU Throttling after 2h TT maps download.... just look at the screenshots....

The small fan was a little noisy so i used some resistors a now you can hear only something if the HU is muted and the engine is off....

And i used some cable ties to fix it - didn't want to use adhesive....

if you pack a small fan on your great heatsink, you should get up to 20° less.
[MTCD Software Development] JonnyG1980:
Can anyone advise whether those of us already on 8.0 should follow the steps on the first post, or is there an alternative route we should take?
[MTCD Software Development] Sc4r3Crow:
You need to flash Malaysk's recovery, so you have to use the step with sd card 1.
[MTCD Software Development] Ati_gangster:
In a normal application scenario you don't get such high loads and so I get a maximum of ~60°C at the current temperatures. That is more than enough for me. I tried it with a fan but it was too loud for me. I ordered an 80mm from Artic Cooling, which should be extra quiet. It took 40 minutes to reach the critical 87°C in the car. Actually, it would be enough without a fan.
[MTCD Software Development] JonnyG1980:
OK. Thanks for the clarification.

So sorry if this has been mentioned too but if I wanted to revert to stock firmware, can I use M's recovery, or do I need to use official and where do I find that if so?

Thanks again,
[MTCD Software Development] Sc4r3Crow:
No problem ??

There is a link somewhere that leads to files you need to be able to go back to android 6.

Either someone can share the files or you have to look for them in the thread.

First of all you should get stock android (for your device). Your reseller maybe will send you some or a link for the download.

My name is Jose and I'm from Spain (sorry for my English, I'm using the google translator).

My HU is Kgl 456 px5 android 6 2gb ram MTCD and I had a problem with your update

After the first step, remove the sd boot as I indicated and I could not get in the recovery mode in any way that I read in your forum (I've been testing 4 days all possible methods)

The problem is that my HU is with the screen in black, but the buttons light up and leaving the power button flashes a while, but I can not get into the recovery mode or return to the factory version 6 android following this other tutorial :

https://xdaforums.com/sho...postcount=3254

I have read in several posts that several users were in my same situation and have managed to restore their HU, but in my case it is impossible.

After many attempts to enter the recovery mode, this image appeared:

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2553...9#.Wru0Y3_tbIU

My HU is bricked or can I save it ??

I have been advised that this tutorial, but I also do not know exactly what the procedure is once I have extracted the SOM and what are the programs and how to use them.

https://xdaforums.com/an...px3-5-headunit-mod-recover-flash-som-t3766892

Thank you very much, greetings
[MTCD Software Development] JonnyG1980:
That's the thing. I would want to return to stock 8.0 (as that's what's was originally on my headunit). I believe I've found the firmware from a link on the thread but not sure how I would return to the stock recovery.
[MTCD Software Development] Ferdynand40:
I'm not so sure... i saw once 100-105° (radio, navi, video play FHD) before i installed my heatsink+fan......

shortly after I have built it in, i ran antutu - with heatsink and fan ON i got 50° and with fan OFF 90° - but my heatsink is really small - yours need much more time to get really hot......

And like i wrote before - i used resistors (i think 50 Ohm) to make it "noisless"...

I am not saying that your project is a bad idea (it is great).... i just think that it is easier for most users to use a small heatsink+fan (e.g. from an old graphic card or MoBo).....

Use the lock option in viper settings. You can lock it to headphones only. That way whatever settings you apply for headphones, they will be applied to speaker as well.

You can install the stock ROM with Malaysk recovery.However, in that case the "Malay's mod" logo will remain at startup.To completely restore the original state you need to install your stockROM using kumarai's method.

Just read your reply before this one another time and realized that your stock android is 8 and not 6, sorry ?

In this case I don't really know a solution...but as a very satisfied user of Malaysk's rom I'm very sure you wouldn't want to go back to stock, because Malaysk has a great rom ?

Maybe someone else can offer you an adequate solution..

Follow the instructions https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75664396&postcount=3254 to make a sdboot back to old recovery and it will come back.

You will have to disconnect from battery to force it to boot from the SDcard

[MTCD Software Development] 1-2-Hak:
Make sure your disconnecting the BAT and the ACC cables on the head unit. Just turning off the ACC wont work.

You could try pushing the reset but as well.

I had almost given up on mine but this process worked for me.

Otherwise you might need to remove the SOM and try the OTG reflash.

How can you go back to the Rom 8 Oreo stock if this does not work?
[MTCD Software Development] bonfire62:
So the reason that I thought the bluetooth was not working correctly is that the music player showed no information. (The music app linked to the bluetooth app). In the manual for the head unit it specifically says to use the A2DP app for music, so I'm assuming that the music app functionality for bluetooth music is not working? For those still having problems, I would suggest going into the factory settings (CAR>factory settings) and changing the bluetooth module and restart (rinse repeat) until you have one that is working.

Just wanted to make it clear that not all people with MD725 have this problem.

its probably md725 with missing files from firmware like mine...I've gone back to 6.0 ROM until hopefully there is a fix for this version md725 as bluetooth is important for my daily use. Oreo ROM otherwise is great in performance but I will wait for next version with updated bluetooth drivers
