Volsmart, 5.1, RK3188, root? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hey guys! Been out of the rooting game for a while now. All these locked bootloader nowadays has that effect. Thank God for the Chinese! I just ordered a android head unit for the car from Amazon :
Volsmart 7 inch Android 5.1.1 Car Stereo Lollipop Quad Core 1024600 Capacitive Touch Screen without DVD Player support GPS Navigation Radio Bluetooth OBD2 USB SD WiFi ScreenMirror Backup Camera https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FVV8U2M/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_5jF5xbJ1VW5C8
And I'm wondering what the root process is like for one of these. I'm not sure sure if I should be looking for this specific device, or just something generic based on the software version for instructions. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have Volsmart 5.1 Mtcd-kgl mcu version 1.75_1. If your Mcu version is older, you can ask the seller to give you the latest firmware.
You can use Malaysk MTCD ROM.
I used Malaysk Rom v5 and then upgraded to V6. My HU is running without issue. Malaysk ROM is a pre rooted ROM.
Make sure that you know how to get to recovery menu of the head unit.
Right after upgrading to Makaysk ROM, it is hard to get to recovery to clear cache and data. Keep trying several times, you will be able to. After this, getting to the recovery is normal.
If you don't want to use Malaysk ROM, use Kingo Root, just follow the Xposed LP thread under MTCB development. I did try it successfully before I used Malaysk ROM.

So basically it's just as simple as flashing a different rom, eh? Sounds a little too easy lol

Got it all installed over the weekend. Working great!

Volsmart firmware
Hi guys
I bougth a head unit Volsmart android 5.1.1 for my Toyota Corolla 2009 at Amazon.com. I wrote directly to the vendor and they sent me an update with MCU 1.92.a1 dated in 10/16/2016, I let the link here. By the way I could not intall Malaysk because after doing the manual reset the head unit never found the Dupdate.img in the GPS car, I do not know why.
I'm sorry i could not write the link here because i'm new in the Forum
Thanks Ariel.

Do you have a link for the latest mcu update? The people at Volsmart have not been very helpful with my inquiries.

Stock APKs MOD for MTCD?

Hi guys..
I have been searching but can´t find any modded apps for the radio, bluetooth and music like the ones I can find for Android 5.1.1...
but for Android 7.1 don´t find anything..
What about something like this:
Possible to have this mod for Intel Sofia 3G devices?

Px3 or px5 shouldn't really matter, the apps are the same...
I cannot make it for intelsofia because I don't have such a unit to test it.

Hello Kotix, I used your ROM for the Roadnav s160 and now I have bought a PX5 model. I was glad when I saw your video of a ROM for PX5. Where can I follow the evolution of this work?
Thanks and best regards.
Hi Hanzejo,
I will post more videos on my youtube channel
but you have a rom with 7.1 nougat?
I have also a a nougat ROM to work on but right now there is nothing ready for public.
My plan is to finalize the px5 (android 6) ROM first and adapt it to px3 (android 7) later.
I don't know the timings to do all this...
Here are some more progresses in the main apps customization
I also made some new widgets and resized the clock ones:

Mtce_mx2_v3.00

Hi,
from Yandex..
https://downloader.disk.yandex.ru/d...f28d6c3c06df2d4&media_type=compressed&tknv=v2
Or:
https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/All dmcu for PX3, PX5, Intel Sofia3g/MX/dmcu
Edit:
I have just reflash it my headunit back from mx-3.00 to the mx2 (3.00) version, to the original mx2 version as it was when I bought it, you must choose and do the wipe thing otherwise the head unit will not be start but keep showing the car logo.. in case you would to go back to your mx2 version ofcourse.
People, dont do the above, use the latest MCU version or cross compatible HA or GS MCU.
The MCU is not android and would never require a wipe.
when the adult men talk about logic..
Hi Guys.. do not pay any attention to such reply at all,
I'm gonna explain it to you guys why i'm Wright and that guy is absolutely Wrong!.. please read it very curfely twice..
firstly, I am the one who has this mx2 headunit,
secondly, I am the one who flashed and tested it both version mx+mx2 already,
thirdly, if you do not have mx / mx2 headunit and also you didn't test it (mx/mx2) why did you write a reply back than?
aha, to warn the guys I heard you say? again, first you should Test things and only than say (reply) something useful back..
nobody has asked for your opinion! learn first to read carefully (twice!) and only then write something useful back when it concerns to your own head unit only and if you already have a mx-mx2 headuint and if you have tested it already and your head unit went broke (brick) you have all the right to warn the "people" as you called them.. right?
Very important..
I've written too clearly that I already have an mx2 headunit,
and then I got a mx version (3.00) from my seller and I flashed it with it On My Own mx2 headunit and it went ok so nothing went wrong or defective or damaged my own headunit or something like that at all,
and now I want to go back to the original mx2 version which I already have and did in the meantime.. is there something wrong with it?
Again..
first and only if you have the same headunit with mx / mx2 version and then Only then you have the right to say something useful to the guys back, other than that your reply will literally fall under stupid reply: sucked out of his thumb.
I never need or asked your comment because I want to spend my free time on something useful than on stupid answers/reply's.
Ps: when guys flash them headunit's with custom roms or with this or that custom things there is "sometimes some risk.. Only 2 in 5 long years bricked them headunits and they fixed it back!!" of being damaged (bricked) and that what malay and also hal9 has write it on their first page: Flash It At Your Own Risk.
But if one of the headunits of the guys went broke/brick after flashing this mcu file on his own mx or mx2, I will pay for a newer "motherboard"... a'm I too Clear now!?!
end of story.. some guy let even an old horse laugh.. hahaha.
Thanks you guys for reading!
Can i ask which is better or newer mx or mx2..?
Or which the difference between them?
Thanks.

As far as I know, the only difference are the car-logos, which are shown during the bootup process.
I flashed from mx to mx2 and my Citroen-carlogo is still there, but I cannot chose another one inside the factory-settings.
Correct MX is with car logos and MX2 isnt.
The newest MX version is 3.08. and MX2 is 3.13.

Yes, there is no official place to download those MCU files.
Every file we have here for download is only made accessible by asking the vendor/dealer of the headunits.
So someone should ask Bob from Witson again. ?

KLD 3.01 firmware, good enough ?

Hi there
I noticed that a new 3.01 firmware has been released for the KLD MTCE units from here : https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/All dmcu for PX3, PX5, Intel Sofia3g/KLD
Did someone test it ?
It seems like Cs-x doesn't have patched it yet with his audio tweaks but has released a superior v3.06 version : https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...ent/mod-cs-x-mod-mtcb-c-mcu-firmware-t3816032
Will I be able to downgrade from v3.01 to v2.94 if the new v3.01 doesn't suit my needs ?
Thanks in advance,
Damien
Maybe a stupid question, but mcu KLD is the same for px3 and px5? If they are mtcd / e

I did successfully downgrade my MTCE KLD to 2.88 and return back to 2.94, also tested HA_3.01 firmware on KLD (there were issues, there is no point in doing it) and returned back to KLD after that.
The link you posted for Cs-x mods is for MTCB/MTCC, while MTCD/MTCE is not compatible!

Yes it is.
Thank you very much for your answers.
As I see, Cs-x did not release v3.xx sound patched firmwares for KLD MTCD/E yet.
I will wait for that to come out.
So I have the new KLD MCU 3.01 and you now have more options for the steering wheel controls. You can both turn off the screen and the recent open apps options. Really like the ability to turn off screen for night. More options but that is all I found so far that worked for me.

Use the app "wheelkeys". In that app it has symbols and one looks like a computer screen with a x in the middle. That when set to a key will turn on and off the screen for better night driving.

hello
kindly help please
I don't know why nobody told you yet maybe they're off on vacation. Also, your question is not very clear. Are you looking to update the ROM for the HU or the MCU? First of you don't have an MTCD compatible MCU. The MCU string has to show MTCD or MTCE to be compatible.
As for updating the HU you would need to know what you hope to improve and in most case you can change things in other ways.

Seicane PX5 MTCP_HF MCU file wanted

Hey, i'm a lucky owner of my Seicane Head Unit for my old Honda Jazz.
I'm looking for a MCU file of my HU.
Right now i have MTCP_HF_V3.30_1 version
It's Android 9, PX5 device
If anyone can help with MCU file (or provide a list of file which is fully complatible with current one) i will really appreciate it.

mmm... MTCP? not MTCE?
Compatibility with MTCD/MTCE (this forum section) is not very clear...
BTW, this section is for the software development... you should ask in the general sections...

Yes, MTCP. As far as i understand P - is for 8-channel audio. Maybe there are some other differences, but this is the one i'm aware of.
Can you please share what you have? i will try to check if it can be flashed on my HU.
Thanks!
I have a MTCE_HF with MCU v. 3.30 (the latest known on the net), but I suspect it's not compatible with your HU, but anyway you have already a v 3.30, even if it's a v. 3.30_1 (for MTCP?).
Hello everyone. I received an updated Firmware directly from seicane for their head unit. This is Android 10 update for the 2/32 GB unit. Everything seems to be working great so far on unit. If you would like to try it for yourself please feel free to download and install. I'm not too tech savvy so if you have any questions I'll answer them the best I can. Thought I would share for anyone to update their own unit if possible
PLEASE BE ADVISED YOU USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I will not be held responsible for any damages done to your own unit.
Thank you!
