Had Hal9k PX3 ROM (7.1.2) in my HU, rotation was working perfect.

After changed the coreboard to PX5, started to have this issue, with no file rotation.

Maybe [MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] got other APK to try!

Hi,

who said that your car headunit has bricked after you see a black screen? from my experience the recovery 8 update is not yet properly installed as it should, try to boot from the on/off power button in recovery mode by keep pressing or from the reset button.

try to use the 2 sd card method, maybe your used sd card is damaged/faulty? often happens.
[MTCD Software Development] bjt2:
Thanks for replying, do you have a link to this 2 SD card method? I can't seem to find any good instructions?
[MTCD Software Development] pogueoi:
In the first Post under "How to install" and "If you have Android 6 installed" this method is described.

Hi guys. Just to share some experience and ask some questions. So, I have Dasaita PX5 2/32 Android 6 unit. With no trouble I installed Hal ROM 8.0. And then after first boot i tried to log to G account and had just white screen. Also i tried to open maps, youtube, gmail, no luck. Just white screen. I tried to reinstall ROM, and result was the same. Message "android starting" was lasting for five or more minutes, too long. So i was thinking where is the problem and tried one thing that solved my problem. I took out sd card. After that everything was working fine and fast. Logged to G account, store, maps, gmail. Everything is working. Tried ROM for few days and is excellent. Lot's of options. So I have few questions if someone can help:

1. Could not install MTCampsetupROOT. Tried to install and finished with app could not be install. So I put it in folder system/app/MTCamp...something and rename it like was original app and it's working. Is that OK?

2. Can the same be done with radio app? I would like to take radio app from malaysk ROM app. Would that work like is working with mtcamp?

3. I whitelisted apps in mod settings: Backlight autolevel, internet speed meter, maps, amplifier, radio, PCradio. But when it comes from sleep PC radio is not started and i was listening it before sleep, backlight autolevel not working i have to start app again. Does anybody know what else i have to set?

4. HAL screen saver it's beautiful and modern, but I would like to set it to start sooner. Where can i set that option? Edit some file?

5. And last if I turn off car for few minutes when I turned it back on unit backlight is trembling, flickering, and it lasts for few minutes and then it stops and everything is fine. In the morning when i first start the car no problem, only when it's turned off for few minutes. Does anybody experience that?

Thanks guys

I had try any BT devices in the ROM (Werkseinstellung), but only with the first in list (I think, it was MD.....) I see the HU in my smartphones

Thanks

[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

then it is your used sd card, it could be faulty, try a newer sd card one.. after the recovery update went well you get an erasing message on your headunit display to seen (and than the headunit rebooting himself to recovery mode.. if it doesn't reboot? than do it self) and than put the second sd card with the fw update.zip onit and flash it.. don't forget to do a wipe things.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
If you are "lucky" with internal flash memory, the HU can boot after you get an "Erasing" message for 20-40 minutes. Try to boot the HU from the SD card again and wait.

Use the search.

Hi,

that is not entirely correct, I had in the "past" a px5 of a family member flashed, I had it from android 6 to 8 updated it and after the first sd card finished with the earsing message/notification came immediately him via the on/off button rebooted it and the 2nd sd card inserted it and flashed it and it went ok, so no need to wait so long for rebooting.. it was a malay rom... from the beginning of the android 8 hassle.. when that other russ guy (the guy of the android update stuff on Yandex site) made the first recovery 8 things.

Hi,

No problem at all mate...

if I'm not mistaken, this headunit is for a VW car.. right? I had already installed a recovery update 2 weeks ago for a friend of mine and it went ok.. am surprised that you have such trouble (problem) with it!

pls.. make a video of the steps you did it, do it again and show "us"...

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Hi,

the trick is not by the first long press but by just the second press one! sometimes it does not catche it immediately and sometimes it catches from the first (second) press, I had experiences with that long pressing to get into the recovery.. it took me in the past (for the first time when I tried it) more than 5 times, its needs the right timing of pressing, so that's why I said it is not defective yet.. although we do not know 100% sure that it has become bricked.
[MTCD Software Development] bjt2:
I used to be able to go get into recovery by holding it down until it flashed, then quickly releasing and pressing again momentarily, but this no longer works, which makes me think its bricked.
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

ok.. I see, but keep repeating that until you come into the recovery mode.. it has to work!

keep trying mate don't lose your faith in your headunit.
[MTCD Software Development] bjt2:
when you boot from SD using bootcard.img does it use the files on the SD card to load recovery or is it still trying to access the HU recovery partition? I mean - could the recovery partition be corrupted?
[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

never had such corrupted problem in the past.. but no, that files on the 1st sd card they are meant for updating for the first time the recovery (from 6 to 8 or to be able) to use the new costum rom in your head unit and then is ready and you can install the costum fw, so not for 2 times etc and or got corrupted.. you may try another sd card and the malay recovery + rom instead of hal9 recovery?

keep trying mate.

Hi Hal9k nice work :) ... just one issue I found

I flashed it few weeks ago om my PX5 , all good. I like your work. Appriciate giving attention to all small thinks.

I just got one simple issue when using the feature status bar at the bottom, when I get a call it gets under the status bar tab and I cannot attend/end the calls. I dont see any other issues so far.

[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

I'm going to explain it for the last time, because I had repeated myself many times, if you see an error (E/rror: failed to mount) on your headunit display when (you) trying to flashing it its means that: the used sd card is 95% defective or the recovery was not installed properly good as it should be.

solution: use a newer/other sd card with it and start the steps again.

ps: don't use your foon sd card, I have here 4 sd micro card all of them didn't works with my headunit when I tried to re-flashed it again.. only the sandisk ultra one it did it again and again as it should, it means that not every working sd card on your foon it will be ok to be used on your headunit.
[MTCD Software Development] guizas:
Hello guys, having an issue that I think i might be missing something obvious, but I have tried searching.

I installed hal9k first used it for a few days, then installed malaysk to also try, so now I have Malasyk installed on 8.0, when i install hal9k mod to go back to hal9k rom, open it then install, it will tell you "wait 5 seconds and the unit will reboot into recovery" well this never really happens, and if I go into recovery manually and try to install the image,I get the Signature error because which means the mod is not properly installed.

Anything I am missing?

Thanks

[MTCD Software Development] Dopeboy95:

[MTCD Software Development] Seicane-Misery:
Hi,

who says to you that an sd card with a 64GB would be works with it then? that is too big for, it had to be no bigger than 16gb max, so 4, 8, 16gb but not bigger than that.. unless you reformatted it back to 8gb as an example.. buy an ordinary sandisk sd micro card from every pc shop or from the action store if there is a store in your city or from the online shops... it's not that difficult to buy a smaller sd card right?

you make it so difficult for yourself while it is so simple to do it bro.

Hi,

Yes ofcourse.. did you read the hal9 howto than?

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

Hi,

you must have to install the hal9 recovery as first and then the update.zip.. I used the 2 sd card method but you can use that installer.apk.. you can decide for yourself which one would be the easiest way for you.
[MTCD Software Development] lagos911:
hey man...

first of all that is ha9 recovery

secondly what is update.zip

and finally what is installer.apk.

I too have the same USB dongle and couldn't get data to work over USB. I also discovered that when the dongle is plugged into the USB, I get A LOT of interference coming through the speakers and much more audible than the present interference.

So I just ended up plugging it into a USB cigarette plug, connection isn't instant, but it's usually connected within 20-30 seconds so that works for me especially since I prefer to warm up my car before setting off.

Hi,

firstly, I assumed that you have followed the howto steps of using the 2 sd card method well? if yes.. make a video and start from the first -sd 1- step, to avoid unnecessary repetitions.. usually the used sd card is not good (95% from the errors is because of the used sd card) is defective.. it worked on the pc and on the phone but unfortunately not on the headunit itself, is more common, I had in the past to deal with it too.

[MTCD Software Development] guizas:
Thank you for your reply, and help it is greatly appreciated, I will go through all the steps again from the beginning.

I got the new unit with Android 8.0 pre-installed, so I just got hal9k ModInstaller.apk, installed this, after installing it rebooted the system into recovery automatically and I installed the hal9k rom, no problems here.

After a few days I decided to try Malaysk, I installed the rom but i got the "Signature verification failure" when installing Malaysk, I browsed the forum and find out I needed to install Malaysk ModInstaller.apk first, which is based on the hal9k but modified for malaysk roms, i installed the mod, after installing it rebooted into recovery automatically and I installed the rom.

Now after a few days of trying Malaysk 8.0 I decided I prefer hal9k better, so i decided to go back to hal9k.

The problem is I install ModInstaller.apk but it doesn't reboot automatically like it says on the screen that it will reboot after 5 seconds, If i go into recovery manually by using the physical buttons I get the "Signature verification failure", ok so I decided to try the 2 SD card method.

I put the first card and rebooted, the green droid shows up, after about 1 minute or less, I get the "Doing actions succeeded. Please remove the sdcard ..." I remove the SD card, BUT AGAIN IT DOESNT rebboot into recovery it tries to load my old rom, and again I reboot into recovery using the physical buttons and again "Signature verification failure" so basically any method I use it never goes into recovery automatically and if I go into recovery manually I get the Signature verification failure.

Thanks
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Yes. In this case, the recovery should be loaded from the SD card.

Try to make a bootable card with Android 6 and install it again.

If it fails, then only OTG helps.

You need to enter the recovery and make a wipe data.

Then install update.zip again.

Moving the status bar down is an experimental function. I'll think about what can be done.

I did not check this variant.

Install the stock firmware with a wipe, then use the Mod Installer.

For boot - no.

Select a different ringtone.

With non-standard dpi can be anything. Try another launcher in this case.
