Cold boot problem - MTCD Software Development

hi guys,
i recently upgraded my mcu to the sound patched version. sound is much better, but now the dam head unit cold starts every time. when before it almost never did. any ideas? i have already, factory reset, wiped cache, loaded my old mcu settings(like recommended saving them before the mcu update.) but still the same..... i have tried 3 or 4 different MCU's all with the same result. i read there is an option in extra settings, but mine doesnt have any option there except "play music for usb/sd card on start" or something along those lines.
Any ideias? its really anoying, as backup camera only works 30-40 second after cold start....
ps: my first mcu was mtcd_gs_v2_23_1, its a px5 unit. running stock rom, android 6.0. xtrons for the bmw e90
any help greatly appreciated.

anyone?

Help, Green screen on my Car Stereo - WinCE 6.0

Hi folks.
Firstly, please excuse me if this is not the correct forum for my query.
I recently purchased a used Ford Focus car, and it came with a stereo powered by WinCE 6.0. From what information i could gather, it seems to be a Chinese made car stereo. And i don't know who manufactured it.
Unfortunately, when i select SD card from the touch screen, the screen turns a green colour. If i am lucky, sometimes, the SD card plays my music. However, most of the time the screen is a green colour when i select the SD card. Everything else works fine, Radio, GPS, Bluetooth.
I have used three different SD cards and different music files, still the green screen appears when i select the SD card.
Anyway, I 'restored' the stereo through the settings, but this had no affect whatsoever. Also, i was prompted for a pin number to do a factory reset. The pin number i do not know. And i used a needle to reset through the pin hole.
Does anyone know where i can get firmware and how i can install it please?
Specification:
MCU/DVD/BT Ver: A4-USB131128 / 1014 / JQ_LM_505_2012_09_28_V01
System: Windows CE 6.0
App Ver: 20131205
Boot Ver: 014b0000
Flash size: 128M
OS Ver: A4-CZGB0-130823-01-CE6-V2.2.6
UUID: C7D0600C-DE3A-4113-5438-583042445F30
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
have you tried using a different card? if it still happens, i am afraid you may have to change a new headunit.
as these chinese "OEM"s are of no branding, there is little to no support for any firmware issues.

Don't think i can afford a new Stereo at the moment.
Besides, everything else on it - GPS/BT/Radio/Camera works perfectly, it is just the SD not playing music (50% of the time).
Do you know what the Factory pin/password/code may be??
Thanks for your reply though!
Try 3721

Hizpo Headunit with inverted screen

Hello everyone. I’ve got a hizpo stereo that a friend of mine give me a few weeks back. The numbers on the side of the radio is ADY17009. It’s running Android 7.1.2. The problem I’m having with it is the screen is inverted. I’ve tried the reset button tried erasing everything no luck. I tried accessing developer mode pressing build number 7 times and it didn’t let me access it. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the stock firmware and operating system on this thing or can I upgrade it to the latest and hopefully it will fix the issue. I can’t sign up on hizpo website. Every time I try to I get a connection timed out error.
Anyone?

Update: New Joying Px5 head unit stuck on "download pending" from Play Store

Update: New Joying Px5 head unit stuck on "download pending" from Play Store
I have a brand new Joying Android 8.1 4GB RAM 64GB ROM 10.1 that reports itself as a px5.
this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L9SW4LH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Whenever I try to update or download apps from the Play Store I get stuck on "download pending" and it never goes further, even overnight.
I have cleared data, cache, powered up/down, reset, reset to factory, allowed all permissions I can find, etc. with no improvement. Can anyone suggest a fix? I am disappointed this is happening right from the box. The hardware looks great by the way. I can sideload apps fine but that is awkward.
Thanks,
Tim
Update: Joying sent me a firmware that will not install but the instructions were sketchy. From another thread, it seemed I should uncompress the .RAR; put it on a FAT32 microsd; plug it in the unit and it would automatically update. It would not update automatically nor manually. Sad.
What did joying suggest when contacted for support?

Final: Joying was helpful but many of the answers looked like Google translate blurring the distinctions among USB #1, USB #2, microSD or SD slots; among RAR , zip and APK. In the end, the .IMG file was expecting to see a subdirectory named "demo" with some content and nothing else on a USB stick in the left USB slot. As helpful as Joying was trying to be, none of that was really described. I do appreciate that they very much kept trying until the issue was resolved.
But all is well now and the head unit is really nice.
I have exactly the same problem? Could you expand a little on your solution. They sent me a file as well, but it certainly doesn't auto update
I have the exact same problem, do you mind sharing the file with me?
This is more likely an Android (settings) issue..
There's a config option that stops downloads over "slow" networks (WiFi/3G/4G etc). Try turning on, or enable, downloads over slown networks and see if that helps.
One example to try: https://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/how-to-resolve-the-play-store-download-pending-issue/
I have also found a lot of times the play store will hold up app updates ("Download pending") when it is updating any of the Google services or if the Play store app itself is being updated.
Also I agree with @FransUrbo. Plus trying a faster connection can get the download(s) to complete quicker.

Dasaita PX6 SD unmounted on every boot

I've got a PX6 unit running the latest firmware from Dasaita: HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota(20210311). It's rooted but otherwise stock. I'm running Car Launcher Pro as my launcher, and Poweramp as my music player. My SD card is a Samsung Evo Plus 128GB formatted to FAT32.
After a warm boot, the SD card is not mounted, causing Poweramp to lose all its music. To get it back I have to physically eject the SD card and re-insert it, which is incredibly annoying at the start of every journey.
I have contacted Dasaita but have not yet received a reply.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the PX6 unit running the latest MCU, but only Android 9 ROM (none of the downloaded Android 10 ROMs seem to work) and I have a similar issue with my USB1 not being read always. But USB2 or 3 is always available Would love to know where you got a working ROM? The one from Dasaita website will not load.

You are not missing anything running Android 10.
The most stable working version I believe is 8, all versions post 8 are rushed ported bug fests.
Stop chasing a higher number.

My suggestion is to copy the music (some or as much of it as you can get) from the SD card to the internal memory and set that folder as the primary folder for PowerAmp. These units seem to have more difficulty mounting SD cards, especially higher capacity ones.
I've had a little better luck with having fewer folders with more files than the other way round. By at least having some music files in the head unit storage, this should get PowerAmp playing music sooner and it should catalog the files on the SD as needed in the background once the SD card is mounted.
I've been kind of torn between using the "warm boot/auto sleep" capability vs just having the head unit shut down every time. It seems the "auto sleep" function never brings the head unit back up the way it was when the car was turned off.
Since the cold boot time is so "short" (I use that word rather loosely here) it's probably just as well to let the unit shut down after n minutes/seconds. Like what's the use if the "fast warm boot" requires us to have to fiddle with stuff every time (e.g. popping SD card out/in, etc)?

I appreciate your input! I am not "chasing a higher number", I am just trying to realize the features that were supposed to be in the product I purchased, such as split screens, 1280x1024 resolution and Android 10. Instead I got 1024x600 and Android 9 and very unstable. Navigation link fails to launch Wayze or Google Maps, VLC cannot display any video , they play but there is no video (audio sounds great) and an awful looking radio app.
I hear great things about the stability of the PX6 Android 9 version rk3399-userdebug 9 PQ2A.190305.002 20191210.152625 test keys. Supposed to be VERY stable and fast. Anyone have this version?

Sadly was an eBay purchase that was "NEW IN BOX", but according to the stickers was an Amazon return.. All packing was perfect, I suspect that the purchaser got the wrong unit for his A/C controls.
Dasaita model is HA-5226-MAX6-CP, also shows X002F1YJQ9.
Instructions were clear, all components were still factory packaged, I just want a stable usable preferably factory (unmodified) ROM.
And I'd be happy if I could find a stable A9 ROM. Two weeks of searching and enough is enough.
Mine came with 10, I just updated it to a slightly newer version. Was really hoping not to use internal memory as its a pain copying stuff over when you want to chop & change music around, vs just bringing the car inside and doing it on the computer, especially as updates tend to wipe the internal memory, or require a factory reset (which doesn't preserve userdata on these units)
Will try the cold boot and see if I can live with that, otherwise it may be back to Malaysk ROM (which worked great on my PX5). Anyone know if the issue is resolved on that ROM?
I'm also annoyed that it was sold as supporting bluetooth tethering, but does not actually do so, but turning that option on is what killed my PX5, so I'm reluctant to mess with that.
Just seen that a new firmware is out, so might try that.
UPDATE2: Ignore below. Firmware update didn't fix it.
UPDATE:
Firmware HA3_rk3399_10.0_ota(20210507)升级包 seems to have solved it, and also solved the issue where Car Launcher wasn't updating track names and album art reliably.
I'll confirm tomorrow when the radio has had more time to idle, but I think this is the fix!
As a bonus, I was able to dirty flash without issue. Had to re-root but that's to be expected.
I first updated the MCU to 3.75B and that did not fix it, so an MCU update probably isn't necessary.

Pumpkin brand PX30 MTCE HT - seeking MCU update

Hi,
I have a PX30 head unit with Pumpkin branding.
I've updated the ROM to Hal9k which is great but the unit often fails to boot sitting on a black screen. Repeated attempts to reset the unit, and it eventually turns on.
Auto sleep is not working either so its always cold boot, even if the unit has only been turned off a few seconds.
I would like to try updating the MCU software but cannot find a file.
The version info is: MTCE_HT_V3.60_1, Aug 14 2020 10:19:07
I have tried to register for manufacturer forum to ask there but didn't get a response for account approval.
If there is a newer version that would be great, equally the same version or an older version that is known to be stable could also help me.
Thanks!
Looks like I managed to answer my own question, I found version 3.71 on a German forum, here is a link to it.

Still don't have the sleep working, if I change it to delay shutdown or sleep it makes no difference and its a cold boot every time. I've checked my wiring and I'm sure the unit is still getting +12v from the car when ignition is switched off.
Anything else I can try or check?
Hello, try if you don't have Default power status - OFF: Factory settings/126/Other/Default power status - set ON or if the radio does not remember saved stations, then set: remember last state.

Hi, I tried this, the power settings don't make any difference.
If the unit is only off for less than say 1 hour, it will boot up again OK. It's not instant on like some youtube videos, maybe 10-20 seconds. I guess this is still standby mode?
If the vehicle is parked overnight, unit will not boot, just get a black screen. It takes several (usually 10+) attempts to reset it before it eventually boots.
This is really annoying, is there anything else I can check? The only thing I didn't change yet is the "customer type" number, would this make any difference?
Changing the customer version is not recommended, serious control errors and sometimes a black screen may occur, but it is up to you if you take that risk. Sometimes a new MCU update will make this change. The last number after the underscore indicates the customer version, MTCE_HT_V3.60_1, the last one is 1 so the customer version will be 1. If you have updated the MCU this may have changed. It is best if you have saved the factory settings in the dmcu.cfg file, with this file the MCU will be updated and all settings will be returned to the original settings. Factory settings - EXPORT button and save the dmcu.cfg file to external storage, if you do not specify a path, it is saved to the root directory by default. If the error was caused by the update to Hal9k, then the problem may be with this update, try to update again with wipe data or reinstall the original ROM. If that doesn't solve the problem, try a different car type in the canbus factory settings. Or the canbus adapter may be faulty.
Thank you, that is helpful. The unit was already doing this before any updates, I was hoping that updating the ROM and MCU would help but it seems to have made no difference.
I don't have a canbus adaptor.
