Android Radio update MTCD_KGL RK3188

Hello,
I have a car radio on the Android MCU system version MTCD_KGL_V1.53a_1 compilation number rk3188-userdebug 27052016.
Can I update to a newer version of android, because it is 5.1.1 now?
On the forum I found MCU updates for KGL v.2.83. Where can I find a ROM for my radio.
I tried to update the MCU, but unfortunately I'm making a mistake. I do not know what I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the MCU from the site
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3246386
I copied to the card and changed the mcu.img file to dmcu.img. Unfortunately, it lights up the error.
I do not know if I should update the ROM first and then the MCU first.
Greetings Piotr Z

Lollipop

I have read that if you upgrade your android system to the newer version; something about the GPS maps will no longer work. Not sure but you might want to look for that.
I have the same system A-Media Auto, MTCD-KGL_v1.53a_1
I found a newer version KGL_10-20-2016_1.92a_4_dmcu.img but I can't get the Head to find the .img file
I tried the SD card in the slot, GPS slot and a USB cable. Still System Update cannot find the .img file. Frustrated I gave up.
I did find that the SYGIC maps works good with the unit. I didn't like the IGO that came with it and wiped the map SD.
I also loaded Car Launcher v2.4.074 which is more appealing.
The backup camera is kind of squirrelly, works when it wants to.
Thinking about getting a new head unit with a flat screen, no buttons and knobs, but not sure if I want to go with a name brand or pure android version.
Will try to insert an image of my unit but I am new at this. The image wants me to put in a http url

Getting started with PX5

Hi all you clever people
I just bought this unit, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-I...igation-Sat-Nav-Radio-Player/32772807019.html, and installed in my car.
I have set up a bluetooth connection with my phone and using a hotspot from the phone to give Internet access.
I have a lot of questions, and I have searched this site, but haven't really found clear answers.
First the facts. here are the data from my settings:
Model: px5(1024x600)
Android version: 8.0
Android security patch level: October 5. 2017
Kernel: 4.4.93+
[email protected] #336
px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.htc.20180804
MCU version: MTCE_MX_V2.92.1
Aug 21 2018 20:10:21
CPU: 8 core 64-bit CPU Coretex-A53 @ 1.5G
Memory: 3891 MB
I know I'm asking a lot of questions, it's just a bit confusing to get started in this new world. I have numbered my questions, so it's easier to reference
1) I would like to get hands free phone calls and texting and navigation. I tried Android Auto, and that was very stable, but I couldn't get the phone to work. I assume thats because it's meant to be run on a phone and then mirrored to the head unit. Now I'm trying with Google Assistent, but it's not really stable. At first it worked pretty well, but now it just works as Google Now, so it won't make phone calls for instance. Any advice on what to choose, and how to get it to work?
2) I found this thread about a custom ROM, https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...t/rom-hal9k-rom-3-mtcd-e-head-units-t3847477/, my unit should be compatible for that, right?
3) As far as I understand, I can not go back to the stock ROM, if I install the new ROM. Then I should flash it with my old ROM. But how do I find out the name of my existing ROM? Is it risky to flash a new ROM, or will I always be able to flash back, if something goes wrong?
4) It's a requirement for the Hal9k ROM, that my MCU is upgraded to at least 2.93. I found this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...asaita-mcu-updates-rockchip-px5-octa-t3575155, but how do I find out if this MCU upgrade is compatible with my MCU?
5) Finally, I installed Tidal app, so I could download playlist for my head unit, but when I start the app and enter my credentials (and they are correct, because I get an error if I enter a wrong password) it just starts up with a black screen with a play icon in the middle, and previous and next symbols, but no menu, except for a hifi menu in the top left corner, where I can choose streaming quality. I will post a picture tomorrow. Does anyone know how to fix that?
Can someone please help me or at least point me in the right direction? I have spent multiple hours searching this site, but right now I'm a bit confused
Kind regards
Allan

Hi! Ok I should be able to answer most of these:
1) If you use the Hal9K 3.1.1 ROM then calling is linked to the phone through Android Assistant, but I haven't got a good solution for SMS at this stage.
2) Yes is is definitely compatible with your unit.
3) Not true, you can definitely go back, just flash a stock ROM. In my case I was sent the ROM by my seller Eonon
4) Your MCU is MX so just find the correct version of that. Check for the MX version here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...ent/mod-cs-x-mod-mtcd-e-mcu-firmware-t3816042
5) Not sure, but hopefully the Hal9K rom will help fix that!
Good luck Allan

Thank you very much, it sound like it should be pretty safe to try the Hal9K ROM. I just have a couple of extra questions:
3a) My seller on AliExpress seems to have no clue, when I'm asking for stock ROM. But I should be able to find something close to my Stock ROM, if I don't succeed with Hal9K, right? Something like the Original Android 8.0 MX ROM mentioned in this thread: http://www.androidiani.com/forum/au...ndroid-rockchip-px5-2-4-gb-ram-32-gb-rom.html
4) I found this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...evelopment/update-media-auto-mtcd-mx-t3828177, with a link to yadi.sk, where I can find a MTCE_MX_V3.00.rar. That should be compatible with my device, right?
I hope you will bare with my ignorance, I'm really trying to get into this

Did you manage to get Tidal working ?

for Android Auto. I'm running the app called `Head Unit Reload` that would turn the Android system as host. essentially it's helper app for `DHU` (Desktop HeadUnit by Google for android auto debugging).
with HUR you can do either wireless Android Auto or USB tethered. This would handle SMS and phone call hands free.
I'm running Hal9K 3.1.1 ROM on my MCUE HK + Car launcher pro as launcher.

Cat S61 Android 8.1.0 or 9?

I bought a CAT S61, and it came with Android 8.1.0 and after configuring it all and using it for about 10 days, the system detected the update to Android 9. The system seems to be working in the background and downloading the new version ( + 1GB) as it reported that the update was paused due to low battery! Well I wanted to ask what is the best version, 8.1.0 or version 9 of Android for this phone? I would also have to stop (I'm keeping the phone on low battery so I don't update), cancel this update because I prefer to stay on version 8.1.0 for now. Version 9 of Android I think a lot of artificial intelligence has been introduced in the system and I don't think that's cool.

MTK6889 Note30 Plus confusion

I have the MTK6889 Note 30 Plus it has a 10 core Processor 1440x1340 graphics 512 gigs storage and 12 gigs of ram dual sim cards micro sd card add on sounds Great Huh? well in there lies the problem it says it comes with android 10 pre installed and it does a custom version of it android 10 and lollyPop 4.1 so what i want to know is can i wipe this phone which is an unlocked phone and install android 11 on it and have a somewhat decent phone because right now it sucks and it even has a 48 mp rear camra and i believe the front is like 13 i really like the phone but because of the way they set it up it does not work right at all like it tells me im running out of storage space when there is over 500 gigs blank and i cant have updated programs because it wont download them saying not compatable its crazy.

Never heard that an Android phone comes with with 2 Android versions installed - as you say Android 4.1 & Android 10 - unless it would be a dual-boot phone.

No its not a dual boot phone but it does have a custom built android 10 whom ever built the phone must have had some things that her or she liked from 4.4.1 lolypop i was going through a bunch of the files and aplications last night and it has lollypops UI or something i just want a normal phone that works with android 10 or 11 i mean this phone has some great properties about it just not the Operating system can you help me set it up better?

Hi FrankL5862,
I'm familiar with the issue, also got a bricked "Note30 Plus" and an also Chinese clone of "S21 Plus 5G".
The Android OS is made into a custom ROM of Lollipop 5.1.1 thats the base Android OS. While they say it's
a Android OS 10 or 11 version they also cheated about the other specifications... You can easely check it with
"Droid Hardware Info" or "Device Info HW" both apps are available as APK-file or in the Google Playstore.
So basicly the smartphone is fake cause of the specs... But it is nice to play around with it and use it to get
more of the control of MediaTek based machine
Can maybe anyone get for me the firmware for the "Maimeite Note30 Plus MT6572" and for the "S21 Plus 5G MT6580"? Haven't found them yet...

@Pavel-71
thanks for the replay,
my unit says in factory settings i have a WQ_BC6 bluetooth device, is this compatible?

There should be no problem with WQ_BC6. Before upgrading to android 10, I recommend updating the MCU. Save your settings before updating your MCU. In the factory setting, there is an export button for this. Locate the dmcu.cfg file and copy it to external storage. In case of problems with the control or the image after updating the MCU, you will return the settings with it.
The update is the same as the MCU update, just use dmcu.cfg.
You can download the latest updates, including your current one, here:
MTCE_HT.rar

II do not bear any responsibility for any errors caused by the update. You do everything at your own risk !!!

@Pavel-71 wow thanks for the information,
last question on https://disk.yandex.ru/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/RockChip PX5 Android 10 listet diferent a10 versions, but no ht, its all the same? i cant find the diference. or what for a a10 rom with the orginal look is recommendable

HT firmware unknown. I tried HCT4 and now I have HCT7. As far as I know, they all work, the difference is in the launcher. Select by launcher. Here I made screens with a description of the ones I found:
