MTCD PX3 with android 7.1.2 - downgrade for rooted rom? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hi!
I have a PX3 MTCD (XRC) quad core 2GB with android 7.1.2 nougat
nougat is nice, but i'm wondering if it is really necessary to have the latest android offering on these units?
would there be a benefit to downgrading to a rooted Malaysk 5.1 rom?
I'm looking for speed and reliability.
Usually I'll have the following running:
nova launcher
neutron for music player (my music is all FLAC files which neutron plays.. also neutron widget is great/stable)
or sometimes pandora
navigation: google maps, sometimes waze
when not actively using navigation apps to get anywhere, i'll have MiniMap overlay on the left half of the home screen and pandora/neutron widgets on the right, just below a Google Now widget (shows weather and some important info)
minimap overlay: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.minimap&hl=en (very cool floating/re-sizable)
I've got a mobile jetpack in the glovebox for data (not sure I can recommend this if you live someplace hot)
Here are some specs of the unit I've got:
CPU Rockchip 3188 Cortex A9 Quad core
RAM DDR3 2GB
Flash 16GB
GPS SIRF III
Loader FORYOU DL-30
Amplifer IC ST TDA7388
Radio IC ST TDA7786
Bluetooth 4.0
Resolution 1024*600
Max output 4*50W
Main Frenqency 1.6GHz
So should I stick with 7.1.2 or would there be much more benefit for speed/customization/?? if I downgrade for rooted rom?
Thanks!

Hello there
have you figured any way to root ?

I'm +1 for the rooting question as I have not figured any way to do it yet.

I have pretty much the same unit, for my Kia optima. I tried to install malaysk's rom and recovery asked for nupdate.img, not dupdate.img like all these other threads specify. Even renaming the file to nupdate didn't work, told me invalid firmware. I have another thread asking for advice, but it hasn't garnered a response.

I have the same unit. Do you haven any problems with the car control app?

Has in the meantime already someone have found away to root the HU?
I have a similar MTCD_KLD_V2.58_1
and also look for a root solution

XRC Root Solution
Hi All,
Might have something that may help. An img file provided as a root solution but A-Sure (another supplier on the list) but I cannot get it to work I either get a partial file or a complete one. I cant post links due to my current post count but if anyone want the file to check out and maybe figure out where I am going wrong you are welcome. Drop me a PM and I will pass on my G-drive location for the download
Mine is MTCD_XRC_2.54a_1

Here are the details on my HU
64Bit Octocore - Coretex [email protected]
2GB
MTCD_XRC_V2.54a_1 June 16 2017
Branded under A-sure, this is a dedicated shell for an Audi TT
Many issues as with many of these HUs
No steering controls
Partial Bluetooth support
Doesn't recognise 4G USB Dongles

@Whizzbangles
Hi,
I have the same unit as yours mounted in my 2008 audi TT mk2 and everything works perfectly : bluetooth, steering wheel control, usb sticks...
Didn't try to root or change anything yet. Only issue is "Audroid auto apk I downloaded (not present in my Play Store) is not working.
Still discovering MTCD world...

I would be interested in your settings around the canbus and also just a check on how you have set up the wiring.

I just rooted my mtcd_kld_v2.58_1 with KingOroot. I then upgraded SU to SuperSU and uninstalled KingOroot while still retaining root. Its in one of the threads in this forum.

Yes, Kingoroot does the job. I am still however struggling to get my MF730M working.

Ah, thats the one that crashes on startup. Shame.

It crashes on mine too. Rk3188 px3 with 2gb of RAM. 7.1

Im running the px5. Does it install superuser and give you root? If so, you can install supersu after and uninstall kingoroot and superuser, leaving root with just supersu.

The RK3188/PX3 2Gb N units use a slightly modified SoM compared to the older RK3188/PX3 1Gb L units (the motherboard is the same). @Hal9k_ managed to get the N ROM to work on the older board simply by altering the partitioning so it should theoretically be possible to make the L ROM run on the later units as well.

Android Tablet

Wonder if I have ask wrong qustion in a wrong place.
Do we need to root Android Apad? Or it already rooted.
How do we root it if not?
Thanks

I believe the original poster is referring to this device:
(sorry, gotta break up the urls to post)

I don't have one, but if what I've read is correct you get root access through ADB by default, so something like the local privilege escalation methods should work:

Can't find anything about the exact device you have.
Here is something about a similar Android Box: Rooting Mele M5 Android TV Box.
If this doesn't help, you may ask in the General discussion > Questions and Answers forum.
Good luck !
You totally missed the subject of the ?
Unfortunately that article is about rooting, I am already rooted. All I want to do is take the files that map the keys for the IR Remote control from one firmware and transplant them to another. I am trying to locate where the files are located in the firmware.

I linked the only thread about a Mele Android Box that I found on xda.
And I said, that you should post your question in the Q&A forum I linked in my previous answer too.
If I had found a thread about your question, I would have posted its link. Unfortunately I can't find such a thread on xda.
I'm just pointing to the best places to get help, as I am not an expert for all questions asked in here.
Thanks for your understanding.

Volsmart, 5.1, RK3188, root?

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!

Hi guys

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 Head Unit resolution problem, no usb, how to change DPI

Hi All,
I have a MTCE unit in my car.
With some tinkering I've managed to unlock its potential, Swapping the launcher, customizing a bit and so on.
The only thing that bothers me a lot is that the units DPI or resolution is ridiculous, every app is barely usable everything is huge.
the units screen is 800x600
and this is its info:
Code:
Model
A-MEDIA AUTO (800x480 O)
Android version
6.0.1
Core version
3.10.0
[email protected] #1320
Build number
px5-userdebug 6.0.1 MXC89L user.hct 20180130.142324 test-keys
MCU version
MTCE_HZC_V2.75b_1
CPU
8 core 64-bit CPU Cortex-A53 @ 1.5G
Memory
2000 MB
after searching the forum and the internet:
there is no obvoius usb connection for ADB, or wireless ADB
only 2 sd slots and a mini usb connector that apparently doesnt even work
no root.
no secret menus with passwords in settings
is there any way I can change the DPI on this thing?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your question is much better posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/mtcd-software-development.7379/
I´ll ask a mod to move it to there. May be have a look around there.
BTW: You really need to upgrade your unit to at least Android 9.

It has a bit issues with the Memory, but I think it would work fine... and you would be able to root, or use a custom ROM with it.
The resolution is changed using the dmcu.ext file. Choose the resolution of your inclusion, copy dmcu.ext to the sd card and update the MCU.

If you want to update the MCU, then yes. Before updating, save the settings in the dmcu.cfg file, it is a backup of your settings, in case of problems with dmcu.cfg, you update the MCU and everything will return to the original settings. Factory settings/126/EXPORT, you can find the file in the root directory, take good care of it, save it to external storage.
