Hi [MENTION=8337421]zeyret[/MENTION] - thanks for uploading these. From the DMESG we can see these lines for MD725:

[ 25.787795] init: starting service 'gocsdk'...
[ 25.852300] init: Service 'gocsdk' (pid 1066) exited with status 1

This suggests to me that the proprietary blobs/binaries are installed but not compatible or missing/incompatible dependencies with Android 10.

The options I believe at this point are pretty limited to hardware swap outs unless someone can reverse engineer 'gocsdk' and remediate for Android 10.

I see [MENTION=3260627]switchboy[/MENTION] has been looking at this issue too and might have some input.

Can I install this Android 10 Witson Rom https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...t/hct4px510-0ota2020-06-03-mx-witson-t4116347 to my Android 6.0 Witson device directly by this method : ?

B. OTG method - (may require Jig, or if lucky an USB A-A cable.) The below method wil recover a 'bricked' or non-booting unit.

The following is required:

- ROM in .img format, or partiton extract

- Android Tool and Driver:

https://github.com/rockchip-linux/tools

1. Install Rockchip driver and Android Tool on PC/Laptop.

2. First try connecting your unit USB to USB using cable to PC. Try all headunit USB ports.

3. Try entering recovery. If successful you will hear the new device chime on your PC and the headunit will be connected.

If connecting via USB method does not work, a jig must be made. See the following thread for details: https://xdaforums.com/and...h-som-t3766892

4. Using Android Tool connected via USB - Flash SOM using .img file. If image file does not install, erase flash first after selecting .img file.

I tought i need to install a new recovery, before installing Android 10 rom.

Or should i install this img file first : https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/RockChip PX5 Android 10/CHS

My last question is rather more important.

2. First try connecting your unit USB to USB using cable to PC. Try all headunit USB ports.

Are you sure? I know if I connect 2 computers with a simple Usb-A to Usb-A cable will damage both computers because there will be 5v in both ends. Are you sure that i won't damage head unit or laptop by connecting them to each other with a simple Usb-A to Usb-A cable? I known I can charge my phone with Usb output of my headunit, and of course i can charge it with usb output of my laptop. I think both devices can damage each other if I make that connection.

if the FW is correct then yes

for example( mtce px5 )can be updated to any ( mtce px5 )

you can change from witson to Dasaita or any other no problem

i understand with SDDiskTool is needed file.img, but i not found sdupdate.img with recovery 10 for PX5...

is please only known/available method (not update only recovery) use any (CHS7 in IMG found for PX5) A10

in IMG format and write it via SDDiskTool to microSD (my HU have GPS slot used before for upgrade A6->A8, A8->A9) ?

his update recovery and all others partitions, and next "change" "ROM" to "stock" (HotAudio HU in my case) via applying update (HA) update.zip ?

thanks :)

Use ModInstaller 2 from Hal9k_, then you can hop from 8 to 10 and back again.

Or https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/RockChip PX5 Android 10/CHS
[MTCD Software Development] k3dar7:
Thanks, about ModInstaller 2 i of course know, but i prefer official/free method...

Link as you send is exact i found before and only need know is is right for A9->A10 via microSD@GPS, or if is anywhere for download separated image for only recovery upgrade :)
[MTCD Software Development] Clandaries:
You need an IMG. This is an IMG, so it will contain everything you need to upgrade to A10.

But in my case i was not able to downgrade to A9 via this method. I has to use Modinstaller 2, why ever. If you need root, stay at A9 ATM.

Hi once again,

My MCU like I said before is "MCU version - MTCE_MX_V3.32_1 ( Aug 28 2019 )" and the last we have on "ttps://disk.yandex.ru/d/umCvHqCDzHc...droid%2010/HCT" is MTCE_MX_V3.30. So my question is - In my unit I have Anfroid 9 and i want to upgrade to android 10, i need to make some changes about the MCU or i let it stay exactly in the version i already have? ( Another thing I forgot to say, my radio have DSP. )

Thanks.

help me

Hey guys I'm trying to upgrade my Px5 from android 9 to android 10. I'm using the SDCard method. When I enter recovery and reboot the system to start the upgrade, I get black screen. And it stays black screen until I remove the sdcard.

Any solution?

Sorry about my English.
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:
OTG
[MTCD Software Development] Ati_gangster:
For me the sd card method does not work.

I tried it on a Mtce HA where I made the YouTube video for upgrading from 8 to 9 last year.

Tried 7 different MicroSD cards, 2 different SD card readers. No chance.

I also tried it on a new MTCE GS.

OTG over a USB-A to USB-A cable works well on the MTCE GS.
[MTCD Software Development] ivexsa:
Okay, I get it.

I wanted to say some solution to the sdcard method. Thank you.

For me i had to munnually go to recovery, insert sd-card then choose boot to system. After that the update started.

It seems like it is not 100% the same as with A8 or A9.
[MTCD Software Development] lagos911:
I am not sure where the problem is. Last year with my px5 unit I have done this process 100 times. Changed between android 8 and 9 with renamed the sdupdate.img

Now with px6 I cant do it. I will try to create an a sd card with my docking station and try again.

I think we have to create an a sdupdate file with the img rom. Keep this file. And then create a boot sd card with hal9k sdboot img file and then replace the fsdupdate.img.

I will try it.

Complicated.
[MTCD Software Development] marchnz:

[MTCD Software Development] lagos911:
Okay problem solved. I create the sd card from a old docking station from my desktop.

It seems that the sd card tool cant not be created from my laptop. So its something between the hardware and the program. (I tried at 2 different laptops)

1) I insert the sd card with my current rom running (android 9 hct6 rom).

2) I changed something from the factory settings and unit request restart.

3) When the unit restart I saw the android 10 logo and the update start (Update takes 20 minutes at PX6)

4) After the installation done the unit request to remove the sd card. (otherwise the installation will start again after the boot)

5) Android 10 logo - Erase - Reboot again and starting the system for the first time

6) Done? - Yeap!
[MTCD Software Development] ikerg:
The step 2...you dont need to change anything on factory setiings to reboot.

Just instead of 126 on password for factory settings just type "hctreboot"

I will share some reduced images for recovery upgrade only....after upgrading the recovery you can upgrade to the latest OTA

This process should be faster than upgrading with a 2.5 gb image from sdcard...as once rexovery is upgraded (70MB image) you can use the usb for upgrading to the latest ota image you downloaded

Android 8, 9 and 10 for px5 & px6 (only android 9 and 10. No android 8 is available for px6) can be downloaded and selected within sd boot card program.

I haven't tried them yet as my px5 has md725 chip and currently my car with px6 is on service

[MTCD Software Development] m33ts4k0z:
I had the same experience last night. After I successfully updated from A8 to A10, I wanted to test some things and I tried to downgrade from A10 to A9. I didn't succeed directly, getting black screen, but I used Hal9k zip files that allow you to only flash the recovery for A8 and A9 and I was able to flash using OTA (update.zip) afterwards. Still when I wanted to get back to A10 from A9 I was geting black screen again.. After a lot trial and error, I succeeded by installing A8 and then using the img file (CHS2_RK3399_10.0_IMG (20200424)). That worked as it initially did. Tricky.

The files you are looking for are called:

Hal9k_Mod_3.x_upgrade_to_Android_8.0 and

Hal9k_Mod_3.x_upgrade_to_Android_9.0

for flashing the respective recovery for A8 and A9. Hal9k has unfortunately not released A10 recovery as a flashable img file for SDDiskTool for free. You need instead to buy his mod installer pro 2 which will of course make things a lot easier and supports A8,A9 and A10 using OTA(update.zip) files.

Try these steps and let us know:

Flashing the files included in Hal9k_Mod_3.x_upgrade_to_Android_8.0 and then use the CHS2_RK3399_10.0_IMG (20200424) img file.

I haven't tried that directly but what I tried and worked was to:

First flash Hal9k_Mod_3.x_upgrade_to_Android_8.0, then flash an OTA A8(whichever version, it doesn't matter), and then flash the CHS2_RK3399_10.0_IMG (20200424) img file.

Note that I tried these steps on PX5 but it should be fairly similar for PX6. Try these and see if it works

PS: The reduced recovery images in this thread didnt work for me, thats why I used the solution I described.
[MTCD Software Development] aryanitinkumar:
Alternatively use the recoveries posted by Ikerg on the 8 th page..install any OTA as you wish.... . Worked great for my HD & KLD units...

As of the SD cards try using a class 10... My unit supported n reads 16 GB in the GPS slot... But of course you can purchase Modinstaller2... €10 worth

Well while buying the tool is totally worth it and its a great investmenet while also supporting hal9k, you could as a last resort try to flash his minified images and see if you can at least boot from those. I you cant then just buy the too but if you can then reply here and we can look further into it.

Minified images????

[MTCD Software Development] m33ts4k0z:
Download this and flash the file bootcard.img as usual. When its finished, copy over the sdupdate.img file directly to the sd card. try to boot again using the GPS slot.

EDIT: I see now that the max6 doesn't have a dedicated GPS slot. If that is the case, as with all similar head units, you only have 3 options: You either need to create an OTG cable yourself, use a USB type A to type A( works in very few occasions) or buy the tool. There is no other way to change version number. But try booting using hal9k image first and see if you can see something on the screen this time.

If you have a USB -A to USB - A cable (male to male) you could try connect it to a PC/laptop directly. Actually if you connect it and you see a device in the Windows device manager, you most likely are good to go. Otherwise yeah, OTG or mod installer is the only way.

Tried a direct headunit to pc cable connection....by means of usb c to usb a...and it didnt work....perhaps due to the speed of the usb c .... i will make my own usb a- usb a to try again....just for investigation purposes.

Some people are reporting black screens after using my reduced images and some others reported success..so it is weird.

I remember that when android 6 to android 8 by means of using sdcard boot method....first you created a bootable sdcard by selecting an android 6 image and the replaced the sdupdate.img file with the one of the resuced image for android 8

Perhaps you should make the same procedure now:

Make the bootable card by means of selecting your current Android version (9) and replace the sdupdate.img file with the one that contains the reduced image for android 10.

I don't know why though because there is not anything else on the card that could make a difference...
