Hello,

I tried to flash the rom to an Android 6 system but it seems to have failed the "wipe cache" step and now it is stuck in the logo (after a few minutes it reboots by itself, and loops again).

Any way to go into recovery? I have a buttonless unit and the reset button seems to reboot the unit immediately.

Thanks,

A.
[MTCD Software Development] majB:
I am afraid you need to flash the SOM separately

Thank you but apparently I was very lucky. After a few restarts and going through the "Erasing" phase once more, it booted to Android 8 eventually!

Hello,

I don't have an option "shutdown delay after ACC OFF" and my HU works all the time. Can I add this setting somehow?
[MTCD Software Development] xLeviNx:
Going to install this in a few hours. Do you intend on working with getting any meta data for Bluetooth devices?
[MTCD Software Development] shtirlitz111:
Interesting. Mine is a Dasaita/HotAudio (the bluetooth is MD725 type 1).

My phone (Samsung Note8) connects/works just fine with the unit via both wifi (to provide internet) and bluetooth (for phone calls).

It is only the smart lock that shows an error when trying to select the phone on that screen.

What phone and which bluetooth (listed in the factory options) does your Pumpkin have? Anything special you had to do beyond just selecting it in the Smart Lock screen?
[MTCD Software Development] Aran:
hey all. I am wondering, is it possible to connect a bluetooth headset to the unit? So that normally I make calls through the unit butwhen I want to make calls in private, I turn on the headset.

Anyone any experience?

[MTCD Software Development] scorillo_ro:
No, you can not! The bluetooth controller is not directly connected to android board. This has been discussed many times...
[MTCD Software Development] Minotaur:
Why would you want to?

Pair your BT headset to your phone directly.
[MTCD Software Development] evo1234:
According to the settings - my BT is WQ_BC5

My phone is Samsung S7

??
[MTCD Software Development] tsavman:
That's what happened.

Also, try not to manually boot the device before you select reverse gear. Booting at the same time seems to result in camera freezes, although I feel that is a MCU bug.

Exactly.

No APN in settings. Also tried different things through mod settings/factory settings, but the LTE stays disconnected through USB, only works through wifi.

The strange thing is that I see signal reception bars at the status bar.

Hello, I have a unit with a 800x480 screen and when I try to add a widget, a dialog box pops up asking me to allow the application to add widgets. But the text is so long that the button is not visible and it doesn't scroll. Is there any way to overcome this?

Thanks,

A.
[MTCD Software Development] bobodaclownster:
I think you may be able to change system font size so you can read it. System settings?
[MTCD Software Development] abagos:
Thanks, will try that.

Outcome: Worked just fine.
[MTCD Software Development] Brendo:
Plenty of posts on this. No solution as of yet

Looks like it has something to do with how android deals with lte/4g usb devices. Although I wasn't able to get 2g/3g to work either. PPP Widget 3 gets close to making it work
[MTCD Software Development] tsavman:
Ι would prefer a wired connection to my LTE router from the HU, but since I'm using it also as a wi-fi hotspot for other devices it's OK for me. I also believe that the HU doesn't allow speeds greater than 3G so it's fine using it through wi-fi in the end.

Not a big deal for me.
[MTCD Software Development] xLeviNx:
I have an issue where the music pauses when playing the AD2P off the main screen or during when the screensaver comes up. The music pauses and I have to click into ad2p, start the music again. Sadly I can’t skip songs if I need to, especially if I’m using waze or google maps while traveling.

Does anyone have a solution to this or experienced this also?
[MTCD Software Development] CaddyRAV4:
How do i navigate the recoveryscreen with a touchpanel ? There are no physical buttons here, just touchbuttons for home, power, volume, ... and they dont seem to respond in recoverymode..

So the unit is kinda stuck here atm..
[MTCD Software Development] psyko_chewbacca:
Use the pin-hole reset button. Short press to browse, longer press to select.

I think using a USB keyboard is also possible.
[MTCD Software Development] dgcruzing:
Concur with the above..

You can go back a few pages and I was in the same boat..and actually foolishly tried for a quick MCU flash before going out today and had to do it..

USB keyboard for me not working for me once I have got to recovery..as both times I have got there I didn't have it plugged in..

Also the other thing is to make sure you are ..

a: gentle around that RST hole

b: use something that is not tight into the opening..

I am dealing with a bit of testing at the moment with the unit and got a bit carried away, like a bull in the China shop and have managed to slightly chip of a bit of the glass.. lucky it is just a sliver and not a crack or any thing major..

While the full screen is nice..it does go to show that the buttoned versions have got something going for them..also even if it is just for flashing ..

I have another question for those that know.. seems the first app that was I stalled to get the first boot to recovery has disappeared.. I am guessing it is wiped on the Rom I stall..

What is the next best this to get to recovery..

Today I got there by going from settings and flash MCU..

While this worked.. seemed the MCU flash did not work..I got to have a play with it again when I have more time..

I might be reflashing it all in the coming week due to some shut down restart issues I am having..

As in, for a few days it was taking 5 full minutes to boot from a shut down ..as in stop the car..jump out for 1/2 hour ..come back to car..restart .

The LCD in the car shows it has started .as in.. GPS unit .. but blank screen.. the almost 5 mins later it boots..

I chipped the screen in one of these episodes as I was wanting to push a boot via the RST button..

Anyway ..will work on the process of elimination as I am using FCC launcher and it is pretty aggressive in how it wants to place itself in front of everything..not saying that is a bad thing but with the likes of setup and resume..it's a little bit and miss..thus testing before making assumptions and posting back..

Maybe include this in the first post of this thread aswell..?

Hello,

I can confirm that LTE sticks (connected to USB) work with this rom. I have HUAWEI e3372-h (HiLink version). It doesn't work out of the box (HU shows signal strenght but no 3/4G connection; i've tried to set APN but no luck).

U need to install moded firmware from 4PDA-ru (there are plenty of PL/EN tutorials) and then set LTEstick in <WORK MODE CDC not for windows or GATEWAY MODE> - don't remember which, i'm gona check it later and return with info. I think it's general solution for LTE sticks for HU

test for net speed shows about 40Mbit DL / 60Mbit UL (realted to Base Station load) so it's quite good :D
[MTCD Software Development] ZeroZorro:
Please share the link where to find those modded firmware(s)?
[MTCD Software Development] mahtew:
i think it's this one (i don't know rusian).

https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=582284&st=21300

u should look for tutorial in your native language. HUAWEI is popular stick, so there should be no problem
[MTCD Software Development] ZeroZorro:
Thanks, I have to check, but I think I have the same Brand/Model as you ;)
[MTCD Software Development] tsavman:
I've seen some relevant posts around.

I have a Huawei E8372 LTE stick. Haven't seen a custom fw for that one, also I am concerned about safety and functionality of the router running a moded fw.

Fact is, it should work out of the box. But thanks for the info.
[MTCD Software Development] meazz1:
Don't laugh, can't figure it out.

I have installed 3 different launchers and set one of them as "always".

Help

can i use usb in this steps, i dont have sdcard

step””If you have Android 6 installed:

This method is also suitable for a full recovery of HU with Android 8 or 6 if it does not boot, including even in recovery.

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 the SD_Firmware_Tool 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””

hello

When installing for first time it is recomended to wipe user data. Does it mean that I will also have to reprogram the steering wheel program. The adapter metra aswc is not accesible and it was a pita to insert the radio So i don't feel like having to take out everything.
[MTCD Software Development] dubbingt:
If you used an app in android to program the steering wheel then yes you need to redo it. No need to make any changes to the adapter behind the radio. This is only a software change.
[MTCD Software Development] dankec2000:

Ok, flashing the fw was very easy, thx for that!

But I have a few questions:

- When Viper4android want to install the driver nothing happened. The circle is just spinning and spinning

- Is it possible to use Sygic with TTS and the music will mute? When switching to TTS in Sygic music will not mute. Sygic is configured as my navi app. Also tried google tts as navi app, but nothin works

- where can I disable the message where I can see the name from the next song?
[MTCD Software Development] adamsuail:
need help! I hope someone reads this.

I fiddled with smartphones a lot but first time with HU.

I can't navigate through recovery, no buttons and the RST reboots the unit..no way to navigate. so I connected a keyboard to the only usb port I have and am able to navigate...but I need another usb port for the flash drive and I don't have a usb hub.

so the question: can I store the update on the internal storage and flash it from there? I don't have the tools to deal with bootloops right now.

So I fixed everythin instead of the TTS problem when using Sygic navi.

Must I change any settings in viper4android or is it after installing the driver ready to run?

Where can I activate the backlight from my touch buttons?

For head units without buttons you use the reset button to navigate. Press once to scroll through options, then press & hold to select something.

It's a PX5 MTCE...

I've tried holding reset, booting while holding, complete power off and reset, 20 seconds but never see flashing LEDs, connected a USB Keyboard trying Alt Print and pressing i/e/ and even f key, rst 5 seconds 1 sec 3 sec patterns... nothing seems to work.

anyone have experience with these button less units? or is there a site or post that lists a bunch of different ways to try?

thank you.
[MTCD Software Development] adamsuail:
My unit don't have the short press / long press...it's just one press and it reboots.

VIPER4AndroidFX V:2.5.0.5 Requires ROOT access

Back again after a fully successful install of 3.0. upgrading 6.0.1 to 8.0.0

I really want the playback AVC that VIPER4AndroidFX offers but the version installed as part of 3.0 won't run without trying to install a driver and just hangs with a progress indicator going round and round and ... . So I uninstalled it and installed Version 2.5.0.5 from the official site. That does almost the same thing except that it returns saying that it needs ROOT access. I've tried kingoroot and kingroot but installation of those abort with an 'App Not Installed' message.

What to do?
[MTCD Software Development] 203020:
I have the same issue, touchscreen becomes unresponsive. I am trying to figure out, whether it is a software or hardware problem (I had the issue with the original Firmware as well, but not with all ROMs). The funny thing is, it happens quite regular on my way to work, but not on my way home (different routes) and not on long road trips. It only happens when you are not using the unit actively via touchscreen input (usually while streaming a podcast (PocketCast) or navigating (Waze with Spotify). It could have something to do with screen turn off or lock time, but all of these I have disabled already. After turning the engine off and starting again, the problem is gone or when I soft reset the unit. I am starting to think, that it could be an Infrared (instead of the remote control) or Wi-Fi signal, that is caught/received by the unit and crashes something. By the way, the unit does not freeze, you can still use the steering wheel buttons to control it and the screen content is still updating, just the touch input is affected. The reverse camera does not cause the problem, as mentioned in a previous post. Other than this, I have no issues.

Thanks mate ! ;) also do you know, if we can install the launcher from different ROM for example Malaysk? I don´t want to create new thread here as this is quite stupid question and mainly don´t want to think by others that i´m reproving HAl9K´s excellent job, which he did.:angel:
[MTCD Software Development] bettuccio:
So I suggest you uninstall Power AMP if you want Avin to work.
[MTCD Software Development] 203020:
I did not have the issue with Malaysk ROM Version 3.0 and 3.1, but with his ROMs I had some other issues (regular freezing of the whole system) and I prefer the one here from hal9k. I have only tried Version 3.0 here but it runs much more stable (besides the touch screen issue of course). But since I had the same issue with my original ROM (still Android 6.0.1) it is hard to say, what causes the problem and whether it is actually software related. I have also tried different MCU's but no affect.
[MTCD Software Development] dankec2000:
I suppose it's not hardware related if you're sure you have no issue with Malaysk 3.

Will try today if I could reproduce issue with malaysk 3.2 and original fw (android 8)

Is there any chance that the touch-screen problem is MCU-related? Have you upgraded the MCU at all? Or changed any MCU settings?
