Hi,

did you tried the 2 sd card method with it and then you got a black screen or what did you do?
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Thats the steps i did like in the manual on the first Seite here but after thati got Black screen. Only used the first sd.

Download and unpack the archive Hal9k_Mod_3.x_Android_6.0_upgrade.rar

Insert the SD card into the card reader. It is desirable to use a small card, 2-4-8 GB.

Run Rockchip SD_Firmware_Tool.exe on a convenient Windows PC with a Micro SD card reader/writer connected to it. You must run the application as Administrator.

You do not need to switch any settings. Everything is set up.

Click the "Firmware" button and select the file bootcard.img

Click the "Create" button, then "Yes" and wait until the message with the "Ok" button appears.

Close SD_Firmware_Tool.

Copy the sdupdate.img file to this card, replacing the existing one.

Remove the SD card from the card reader and insert into the HU in the GPS slot.

Now you need to completely reboot the HU. This can be done by pressing the RST (Reset) button with a paperclip etc.

If the HU does not reboot, then this button (or the Power button) must be held down until the buttons backlight flashes. Then release.

As a last resort, you can disconnect and reconnect the power cable.

When the message "Doing actions succeeded. Please remove the sdcard ..." appears, remove the SD card from the HU.

Hi,

short answer.. I don't think it's totally dead.. if you still see any -flashing- lights come from your headunit then try this method again:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISvf3alUpLY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPQgV_55Rkk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ-tUxB0BZE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0zCzFRwDMs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edus-IUU9gw

you need to press 2 times = 1 long + 1 (very quickly after) short.. not one time after you see the flashing lights of yours headunit.. pls, take a deep breath and proceed calmly!
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
I try what you said befor but nothing happens... If i press long the Buttons flashes Thats All.... I try press long and short but nothing :( when did i have 2press second time? After the flashes right?
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi mate,

haha.. all these youtube vids and still not helped / got it? however, long mean: 15 @ 20 second.. short mean: immediately after within 1, 2, or 3 seconds!

try again.. we come closely!
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
I know what it means but nothing happens sry... I seen These vids befor but IT dont work sry... Wish IT worked...
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

you have already seen a flashing light that came out of your headunit.. is it correct? if yes, then we are halfway through, try again and again, until you get into the recovery mod again.

keep trying mate.
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Yes flashing light comes... So Thats a good sign? Hope so... In Video 2youtube they press?3times... I only need to press 2times... First long flashing lights then short right... I try for 1days... Lol ? Thats sad
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

is it helped now? or still not? I could not fully understand you mate.
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Sry IT dont work... Is it a good sign when i See the flashing lights ? I try to push the Buttons but IT dont work :(
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

Yes.. it is.. try again after 3 seconds = press 2!

Other method: keep pressing the power button for 15s @ 20s and than release it and click on it too quickly within 3s one (1) more time.. try it 4 times until you come in to recovery mod!
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:

What for is it?
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Ok what to do in recovery mode did i need to update android 6 or 8 .... like i said i had android 6 original but when i try to install the Hal9k mod i only used the first sdcard ( stop working after the message "Doing actions succeeded. Please remove the sdcard ..." BLACKSCREEN :( )

did i have now the recovery android 8 or 6 how can i see what recovery mode i have ?
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
Hi,

put the sdupdate.img from your download to a usb-stick. (maybe you have to rename it to update.img, but try this later if neccesary e.g. when the system the update file not find)

connect the usb stick to your unit.

(prefer usb 1 connector, may you will have to try the whole proceedere several times to find it)

put theSD Card you had already prepared with the firmware tool into the gps slot.

Then start the unit, it should go to recovery mode

When the recovery screen appears remove the SD Card as soon as possible.

Then choose firmware update from usb / sd card
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Ok thats something i dont try yet so i will try it , i only try it witout the usb stick and only the Sd with firmware tool but it dont go into recovery ..... You think with usb it will go into recovery ? If that work man i will get you some $ .
[MTCD Software Development] cuprafanatic:
hi,

I'm using the rom now for some time and i have some questions about it.

is the following possible to build in the rom?

-Add DAB-Z – Player for DAB/DAB+ USB adapters as pre installed app for DAB

-Add a better working brightness setting menu, based on gps or filled in start-finish time by the user?

-Add a option to backup the settings/apk's to the cloud, so when you have a crash, you can choose to use a previous version of the rom.
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
[/COLOR]

OK i tryd it but IT dont goes into recovery very Strange. I cut the Power and reconnect still blackscreen. I even try to get to recovery pressing the Power or reset button until it flashes and then press short long multiple times every option i can think of but nothing .... 1 Hour i cant get to recovery mode .

Then i try to write the Sd again ( in case something went wrong the first time ) and now when i try to write the sd with Firmware Tool i get the message " Writing MRB faild! " i try to restore the sd with the firmware tool same result "Writing MRB faild!" . Thats so frustrating :(
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
No Money please, tips are for free.

What I described is the way it functioned with hal9k 2.4 firmware upgrade from 5.1 to 7.xx and a px3 Unit.

See typos1 post there, too.

One more difference to the manual content you postet is, there should no option like firmware upgrade or so choosen.

This means all option are empty when the sd tools is used to prepare the sd card.

But at first try it with the card you have already prepared.

Normaly the card is for supporting a Android 8.0 recovery menue only and the stick delivers the update firmware.
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
But i Formate the Sd card allready and now i get the error code frome the tool
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
Maybe there is something wrong with the SD Card or the SDCard Adapter.

Did you run the tool as admin?
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Yep i can use the card perfekt normal in Windows... But the Tool gives me same error

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Yes i run as admin but same Problem.... Card is oki can use it normal in Windows..... Really strange

Hi, I have a problem with wifi. I changed the PX5 processor, I replaced the RTL8188ETV wifi module but wifi still does not work. Can you please help me?

And I also have a problem buying a new 8 inch LCD IPS. Do you have any contact with the seller? Isudar doesn't even have a piece.
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
But on the Video from Hal9k he also had the option firmware upgrade choosen.

I did it like on the Video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmsUaCy4v68&feature=youtu.be until time minute 3.06 , then i had a blackscreen nothing happens , i never seen the "Erasing" like on the Video ..... now im stuck with the blackscreen , the only thing that work is when i push the PowerButton or Reset Button for 15 sec i see the flash lights on the buttons but nothing happens . And i try to get to recovery but nothing ..... is there another way tip . By the way i realy want to give you money when it work again . Thanks a lot

I have the same unit like the on the Video .

PS forget about the sd card in the other post i find another one and use this card ... main problem is the Android Radio
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
"Card is oki can use it normal in Windows.."

This means nothing. the sd tool is really sensitiv, cos it prepares the card for android.

I used this tool too, but for px3 (my px5 had android 8.0), I had no problems to restore the sd card.

Try to restore your card again and don't forget to unclick "firmware upgrade" therefore.

(When restoring is not succesfull then something with this card musst be wrong. Better try a new one or try a usb stick, emergency)

Then again prepare your sd card the way hal9k has shown, don't forget to replace the sdupdate.img on the created card

with the sdupdate.img from the download.

When it does not work then retry it with the firmware update is not clicked.

...and allway be patient. It could take more than 10 minutes till you see something happened.
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Ok i make a sd card the way hal9k shown it (new sd card) then i put it into the sdcard reader on the unit and connect the power suply back on the unit right ? and then i have to wait 10 min ? or should i put the card in and press power button until it flashes and then wait 10 min ?
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
Put it in the gps slot press power till it flashs and then wait 10 minutes.

When it is not sucessfull then try it without sd card and wait 10 minutes.

(Maybe at the first run you was not patient enough and deleted the update process. This case, I hope the Unit restarts this procedure and brings it to the end)

When it is not sucessfull then prepare the sd card without the firmware update is clicked and try it.

Hope there is no need for this:

Now 10min are over and nothing hmmm., ok after 15min i try to restart with Power Button hold for 15sec but now the unit is complete down... Try again with Power cabel disconnect and reconnect and Button light is back(with headlamp) and i can push Power for the Flash effect again
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
Don't forget your usb stick with the firmware update.ZIP for the 3.1.1 update.

You need it in the case you are belong to the android 8.0 recovery mode
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Ok now im in the second try with sd card... After 5min the lights go down on the Buttons (when headlights are on) looks like the unit Power complete down... Next try without the Sd card...
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
No this looks like the unit is working and the mcu is ok. Pls have the patience.

The problem is to bring back the recovery menue.

Therefore I hope when you prepare the sd card without the firmware update is clicked,

the unit will boot the recovery from the sd card. The usb stick should be connected too, with the firmware.zip on it.

In this case, remove the sd card as soon as after recovery appears and start the firmware update via usb.
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
OK with sd card in GPS dont work After 10min the unit shuts down and lights go down and IT dont react on reset or Power Button. Without sd card mit n the slot the unit lights Ar on All the time unit dont shut down. I let it run for 18min nothing happens . For Android 8 is the recovery Modus the same, long Button press lights Flash and short Button press After it? Or is it a diffrent Button combination?
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
With the Firmware Update is not clicked the System does nothing all the lights are on and it dont shut down i try 20min nothing... With the Firmware Update clicked the unit shuts down After 8min and is dead i have to restart the car to get it running again
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
It depends on the unit. Mostly is it press the power button till the lights flashing and then it comes up without any second press.

Now prepare the sd card like hal9k described but without the firmware update is clicked.

Hope it starts then from the gps slot.

Have to go out now, see you later
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
With the Firmware Update is not clicked the System does nothing all the lights are on and it dont shut down i try 20min nothing... With the Firmware Update clicked the unit does something lights are on and sometimes you hear the hdd noises After 3mins the lights gows out for 2seconds and comes back then After 8min the lights go out and the unit is dead i have to restart the car to get it running again
[MTCD Software Development] Carlos6aa:
Hi all. Any chance to change DPI and gain screen resolution?
[MTCD Software Development] Insecret:
There is a file wich you must apply it ....

I have a new question, is there any option or solution to keep the lights on , I mean the lights behind the buttons.
[MTCD Software Development] BlueChris:
I have seen this setting, its in mod or car settings
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
Then try it with the sd-slot instead of the gps-slot. This is shown in this clip. I just see it right now the first time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34GSX5aId8Q

...and you only have to push it on by the power button

At first I would try it with the software you have and with firmware update is clicked.

When it not work with the hal9k software:

here you can download the software from the clip:

Hi,

Are there any alternative versions of the radio app included with this rom?

I saw in the release notes you can change launcher versions and this changes the widgets, but does this process also change the look of the stock apps?

Is it possible to reassign the steering wheel controls on a per app basis?

Super Work Hal9k,

I installed the rom on my Witson MTCE PX5 Oreo 8.0

working well all in all,

I liked the updated music app but steering wheel buttons for next & previous track are not working

all other buttons are working perfectly (mode, volume up, volume down....)

any ideas to resolve this?

Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] chrys8401:
Try to see in the factory settings canbus maybe you just have to put your car to the configuration
[MTCD Software Development] Abbas Safieddine:
​

Thanks chrys8401,

canbus configuration are well set

all steering wheel buttons work well in other applications (i.e. radio...) but only in music app, the previous and next buttons are not working
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

the problem is, that hal9 doesn't have a car with canbus and or with steering wheel buttons (?) too, maybe I'm wrong? ofcourse that is wat I thought.. instead of malay rom, it did that, I had experience with it (malay rom) from the past! I also have the same as yours, did not work here too, but I'm such a man who did not asking -much- from the "maker / builder" of these roms, so that is why I have not mentioned before.
[MTCD Software Development] mpstar:
Bad news i only have one sd slot ..... Good News After 2hours the unit starts without any sd card or usb stick.... Blackscreen and then comes" erasing " and i can Update the Android 8update it Was very slow but now i have IT. Rabenkind do you have Paypal i want to get you something for the mental help ? ??

PS i dont know what i did diffrent this time but i am happy

Hi,

Goldfinger?

when I had an old px headunit with an android6 and wanted to upgraded it to the 8 it also took a little longer than usual with the earing message to showed up so I said f..k.d, I'm not going to wait all the night for it and then I restarted it (power button) and then I got to see the earsing message showed up, but from such a distance its hard to see what you wrong did.

anyway, 10 € to that guy + 10 € to the hal9.. if you really like to donate some money ofcourse.. I'm glad for you mate!

[MTCD Software Development] Archie_Slap:
Hi,

Is there any scope to add functionality like this into this rom?

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/mtcd-software-development/app-fm-radio-controller-t3625038

What this tries to accomplish is to broadcast the stock radio app to android so that a widget like ubiquity music widget can read the station being played and control the radio.

The app works but crashes often.

It would also be really nice if when the stock radio all is playing it broadcasts a "radio icon" in place of album art.

Ubiquity music widget works perfectly for Spotify, pocketcasts and Poweramp this would allow for one single widget on the home screen to seemlessly display/control all audio playing

Ubiquity music widget on GitHub

Possible bug.

The setting to restart USB when waking from sleep fails to work on my unit, or at least fails to restart WiFi.

My wifi chip as seen in "USB controller" does not sit behind the USB hub (2-1) but is it's own device (1-1).

With this setting enabled wifi is not restarted after sleep however running the following manually does.

#!/system/bin/sh
su sh -c 'echo "0"> /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/authorized'
su sh -c 'echo "1"> /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/authorized'
sleep 1
su sh -c 'svc wifi disable'
sleep 5
su sh -c 'svc wifi enable'

Is this setting broken or does it restart the USB hub only and not all USB devices?

I have used tasker to run this script following a SCREEN_ON intent which fixes my wifi from occasionally not waking up but I believe this rom is supposed to do this itself.

I have an Eonon GA2170 running the latest Hal9k rom on Android 8.0

Strange to me it all works cin dasaita px5 ... Try to configure keys from the settings mod
[MTCD Software Development] Abbas Safieddine:
I tried again today and found that the next and previous buttons scrolls between folders and not tracks while there is another roller button which used to switch between folders, now switches tracks

So in fact these buttons are switched , I will see if they can be switched back to normal

Congratulation for your patience and sucess!!!:D:D:D

Therefore is really no need to spend me Money:

The better way is to help each other, just like good neighbors.

Except the Developers like hal9k, cos they spend really a lot of their time ans resources.

It takes them days and months, not only for the developement, the updates and corrections like bug finding somtimes harder then the realization of the basic idea.
[MTCD Software Development] Archie_Slap:
I'd suggest assigning your steering wheel keys to numbers

You can use tasker to monitor for those numbers and then use a different profile to change what they do.

For example the "play" button could be tied to "1" in the rom settings.

Tasker will monitor for key "1" and if Spotify is running it will trigger "play". If radio is running, do something else.

I haven't tested these, just noticed in the release notes the numbers are designed for tasker integration. But I did something very similar ago using MTCD Tools to tie steering wheel controls to send intents to tasker so it should be similar.
[MTCD Software Development] rabenkind:
I supose he stopped the procedure at he first run, because he was to impatient, but all needed software was implemented in the system.

So the solution to bring it to a good end, was more simple than I thought: Namely just turn it on and wait instead of trying

to install to android 8.0 revory menue one more time :laugh:

This is a typical lifetime learning example. Hope the next one with this problem will solve by minutes not by days.

Now something different.

When some one did not install the ota update when the system was asking for,

how can he start installing the update later on ?

Settings/system/update ???
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

I agreed with what you have written mate, patience is a good thing to have, as they say here, but for beginners it is always a bit difficult to be patient.. and I thought he got that erasing message so that's why.

A to your Q:

normally it is, but should it not work? you can still reinstall the rom and then you will see that update message to perform the newer update.. I said, if it doesn't work form the settings/sys/update ofcourse!
