MASKROM is for formatting the storage, to recover from corrupt storage, preventing loader mode.

From experience on MTC units, maskrom mode will enable you to format eMMC, extract contents or flash firmware. MaskRom is usually needed where the bootloader is screwed and entering recovery or LOADER mode isnt possible..

So.

1 - Maskrom - Format eMMC

2 - reboot into loader mode

3 - flash firmware

MASKROM is to format/prepare storage only, you cannot flash and update IMAGE or partitions in MASKROM, only Loader mode.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] MarcoZ76:
Who can guide me step by step? I don't know what is eMMC and how to format it. And then how to put the PX6 in Loader mode? When i connect to pc i get only MaskRom mode...

Suggest a read through the threads listed in my signature. If you still can't figure it out, you're welcome to send the SOM to me in NZ.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] fl4r3:
This is not entirely true. If your device cannot go into Loader mode (e.g. if bootloader is corrupt) your only option is to flash the firmware whilst in MASKROM mode. In fact, if you format the eMMC whilst in MASKROM mode, the device will no longer go into Loader mode as the bootloader partition gets wiped!!! I can confirm this from my own experience.

If you formatted the eMMC your device cannot boot into Loader mode anymore. HOWEVER, you can still flash in MASKROM mode (it's the same as if in Loader mode):

1. Run AndroidTool.

2. Switch to the “Upgrade Firmware” tab page.

3. Click the “Firmware” button, which will pop up a file dialog to open the Firmware file (.img format).

4. The firmware version, loader version and chip info will be read and displayed.

5. Click the “Upgrade” button to flash.

Done.

If the above fails (e.g. download boot fail errors) then check if your OTG cable connections are good, try another USB port, try another laptop, or try the Linux Rockchip tool.

The info in the link below helped me get up to speed and sort my PX6 out (it's for another Rockchip board so DO NOT USE the partition info etc, but the process is the same and has some trouble shooting tips):

https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock/flash_the_image

Also, if you download and use imgRePackerRK, you can extract the files from the update.img and flash them manually.

Quite right, great post.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] MarcoZ76:
Hi! i tried to use another PC laptop (before i used a mac os with parallel desktop with Window 7 virtualized) and this time it worked, i was able to download the firmware into the SOM. However once reinstalled the SOM into the radio and switch on it still show the boot logo then appear a logo with "erasing.." rebbot then and stuck again in the logo. What do i have to do now? Another question is how to make the Update.img files from Update.zip?

Thanks

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] vlad.presada:
Hi there. I'm having a problem with my navi. Px6 4gb+32rom. It's trying to boot, loading just the image with the logo for about 10sec, after that a split second it shows "no signal", and then restart. It's doing this forever if it's powered. Seller sent me a zip file to flash it, but no success. Tried also on the microSD, same, no luck. Tried also different combinations of the reset button, but same, no luck. Reset seems just power of button, in case probably some apps freeze or something, just not to power of the car, you just can power of quickly with the "reset" button.

I have been reading for a few days already different topics and i can't get my head around them, maybe here in this topic it's what i need to fix it, just need some small guidance from you guys.

So, my SoM seems (and it is) different from the ones posted above.

1. Is it still available the OTG workaround for me?

2. How can i force the navi to recovery?

3. If i need to flash the SOM, i don't have an .img file, i only have a .zip file, is there any general file that can be used, or it should be something specific for my navi?

4. If the boot is damaged, i saw some rockchip tools to read the existing files, is there any chance i can recover my specific files from the SOM so i can use them to flash it again?

Probably i will come up again with questions, thanks in advance for any help.

I am having a major problem making calls on this phone. when I dial a number there is no sound from the speaker at all. I can't even hear the phone ringing unless I put the phone into speaker mode. However the phone wrks fine for incoming calls

Am I missing something obvious here in the settings or is it more likely to be something wrong with the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bizon:
I had the same problem. For me hard reset solved it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angus99:
Just tried the hard reset the speaker is still not working.

To be honest when I first got the phone I had the same problem but assumed I was doing something wrong. I put the sim back in yesterday and it was working fine. Today the problem seems to have come back, so looks like it must be a hardware problem.

Anyone else with a similar problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angus99:
Update - Speaker is now not working on incoming calls either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angus99:
Looks like its going back tomorrow. However from speeking to the guy at expansys today it doesn't look like there is'nt any stock left.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
You could keep it for a while, then send it back when stock is due, I suppose. The new stock should have the improved ROM! :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angus99:
Just recieved my replacement unit from Expansys. First thing I noticed is that on intial boot up the location was already set to london, the manuals are also european. Does this mean I now have a full UK release model rather than the original Hong Kong one. If so then I guess this is a bit of a bonus and makes up for getting a faulty handset in the first place.

Any other differences between the Hong Kong version and the UK version that I can check to confirm this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adesonic:
I ourchased mine from expansys on 17/6/08 (i.e. it left them on the 17th) mine appears to have the newer European ROM, location was set to London etc. but the charger block came with an adapter to fit UK power sockets which makes me think mine is still an import.

However, I was able to register it on the HTC UK Website which tells me that my warranty runs from 5/30/2008 ~ 8/30/2009 - the site is also offering me downloads for the device (currently sprite back up and a hotfix for a charging problem)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
You can check what rom version it is...as far as i know, the new uk models have a rom version of 1.37. So if yours has that then its the uk spec Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tactica:
I have similar problems. After some random period of time, the whole phone goes completely mute. I can't hear anything,not even the dialing tone when making a call which is incredibly frustrating. I don't get notification sounds either,nothing. If I go to the ringtone options and try to play any ringtone I get an error message, that the file cannot be found or is corrupted.

The problem only goes away when I restart the phone,but comes back after one phonecall.

I've only had this phone for 3days, and this is my first wm-phone. I haven't installed any software yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bds008:
guess im not the only one. no ringtone, no sms alert, no alarm sound, cannot hear person on the phone. problem is its so random can be working one minute, then all i need to do is adjust the volume and then its gone, or just sitting there working and then i receive a call and all of a sudden i can't hear anyone. i can live with a laggy TF3D interface but this renders the phone useless
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tactica:
People still expiriencing this like I am? I was watchin an divx-encoded avi yesterday after a softreset to enable sounds. Movie played fine for 10minutes, but after I had to pause it for a few seconds the sounds were gone again. Incredibly frustrating.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flashflash:
UK Rom here and also experiencing random issues with volume and notifications. Poor testing from HTC IMHO.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
UK rom here as well and as far as i can see, im not suffering from any of those problems you guys are having.

To me it seems like you got dodgy phones...id get them replaced or fixed asap. I wouldnt live with a phone that acts like yours above.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thommic:
Same issue here. But if this is really the case. Why does it work after a softreset then?

I believe more it's a softwarebug in the radiorom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thommic:
Any updates here?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dilirium:
Same here....Problem started today.

Speaker is working fine; I hear my ringtone and all other sounds, when I put it on "speaker" during a call it works aswell. When I just pick up the call I hear nothing.

I had the 1.37 ROM flashed and I reflashed it his afternoon with the new official ROM released by HTC to see if it solved the problem.

But still the same problem, soft and a hard reset didn't help either.

So I think I have to say goodbye to my Diamond..:(

I hope the repair service from HTC is fast, any one any experience with that?

[Magisk] nmuncer:
Hi,

I came across a bug that might be related to Magisk and the boot.img patch.(see below for details)

Pixel 3 with latest October Q firmware and root.

Error message: Device personalization crashed when trying to type or get a notification from the default sms app after a Boot.img patch by Magisk

Steps to reproduce:

I install the latest official October rom

I write something in the default SMS app, no problem

I patch the boot.img via magisk (canary channel)

I patch the boot with modified boot.img on my phone and gain root and Magisk full functionalities.

Now, any access to the sms app or even a notification to it ends up with a crash. stating that device personalization has crashed

No other apps seem to have the same problem.

If I revert to the original Boot.img, I don"t have a problem anymore

Previous Q rom didn't generate such error

IT might be related to the way Magisk patches boot.img? Or some security ?

Hope It can help to find a solution.

Thanks

That's odd . I'm on latest Q, pixel 3 , rooted. I don't have this issue . Have you tried force closing the app and starting again?

I tried to kill it, to clean cache, uninstall/re install( well update in this case), always the same result.

- Do a clean full install of the rom and not an update from September's Q release

- Disable Swiftkey,

I'll try to check that later today

You need two tools for it:

You need to remove the certificate from QM first, then change the icon using resource hacker as you did before, and finally, sign the QuickMenu.exe with msigner fro here:

This worked for me, however the QM icon is a bit smaller than the start menu icon, so even when you put it over the windows logo, parts of it are still visible around QM icon :(
