- note the approx 5 minutes of grey screen before "erase" is seen, proceeding first SDCard install of android 8 recovery files.
Team effort. Noted no BT with wd725 (integrated wifi/bt.)
Technical details of the 'Upgrade" - maybe useful in other upgrade scenarios:
- The Android 6 [update.img] [miniloaderall.bin] has been replaced with the Oreo [miniloaderall.bin] from the Oreo OTG ROM Extract.
- The modifed Android 6 update image is used to create a bootable SDCARD. containing the the Oreo Miniloader.
- SDCARD flashes the OREO Recovery images to NAND.
- With Oreo Recovery installed, .ZIP upgrade images can be installed.
Hi,
With resellers not proving a PX5 Oreo ROM image and no other member having OTG and as I have OTG and the jig/tools I could provide a ROM extract if the community provides a PX5 Oreo core board or complete unit.
Any supporters for either loaning a PX5 Oreo SOM or funding a complete unit?
If loaned I would extract ROM and return SOM within 2 days.

I will likely be able to loan a unit or SOM within a week or so. I noticed the SOM rev 8 (used in the Oreo hu) has more header pins than the earlier version though some may be blank. Is your hardware compatible?

A ROM Image has been availible here for almost a week now.

Unfortunately, not. It is an OTA/zip upgrade and not an IMG.

It should be compatible since HA has offered me an Octacore 4 gb RAM SOM to upgrade my 2 gb HU to Android 8.

I can post jpegs however the unit is currently installed. The rom is hct, the mcu is gs and the SOM is hct . I should receive another presumably identical hu today.

I'm a bit new to this. I see when I click the link there's an image and also a "download" button. If I download there's a jpeg sharp enough to read the silkscreen. (Unless Samsung is only allowing downloads to Samsungs?) I took the pic with my cellphone, I could also do one on the dslr.

I zipped the pic and now I should be able to attach it directly. Please let me know if higher res is required.

Does anyone know if the interface board provides better (i.e. multiple) USB ports now (i.e. not a single USB port split with a hub), and/or if the USB is better than the prior USB speed and power provided?
Ditto -- now Bluetooth 5.0?

So it is HCT PX5 SoM Rev8.0 Designed 2017-06-09 Interesting.
It looks like targeted at 8.0 Beta 2 time SoM prototype rushed into manufacturing?

Why would you say that ? My MM 4Gb RK3368/PX5 SoM is also rev8.0.
@marchnz you could try using MTCD ROM Builder (here, needs a Linux machine : https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...re-development/tool-mtcd-rom-builder-t3475444 ) to make an image using the files in the zip. Theres the option to use FUSE which may get a round any partitioning problems.
I use Linux so I can make an image if youve got somewhere I can upload it to.
Maybe I ll try it myself, its just the hassle of trying to unbrick it if it bricks.
EDIT: just re read that thread and see youve already posted in it and used it on your RK3368/PX5, not sure it would work anyway as I think it requires a proper image already, dont think it can make one from separate images.

To create the image we need the partition addresses....so..unless we got an update with the classic .img or we could dump it from an already MTCD px5 under android 8.
I am going to receive a 4gb/32 px5 board with preinstalled android 8...but I don't know how to do for my pc to recognize it in order to dump the software...(I did before for android tv under rk3288)
Any suggestion?

But would we need the partition addresses if we create a FUSE ROM ? - MTCD ROM Builder will make one big partition surely ?
I could try using an MM RK3368/PX5 image and adding the separate images from the Oreo update.zip.

Yes, You need to be unlocked, otherwise is there no chance to flash with fastboot. Besides the rooting of the Kernel is everything Stock. Everything works so far even with GSIs

Where did you get the Customized EU 55.1.A.0.748 J9210 ?? I does not appear on XperiFirm.

My Bad, it is the UK one... I'm also still waiting for customized EU which was always My Choice for Xperia Sources and Development. I'm currently working with GSIs on My Xperia 5 but think i will Release some Stock work soon since i prefer Xperia Android actually over AOSP...
Users will be able to use any Base Firmwares (Android 10) for it but i will personally Test on Custom EU :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Since You just need a .img File for Magisk is there no need to share it with Me actually. Just patch it in the Magisk Manager App and flash it with fastboot afterwards.

Ah, okay. Thanks. One last stupid question.. for the firmware, does it matter if the img file comes from the Android 10 firmware? I am planning to flash my Xperia 1 with PE, which is still Pie.

Prefer a newer Base Firmware over a newer GSI. A Android 9 GSI will run better with Android 10 Kernel as vice versa. Pie will be no Problem if You run Android 10 Vendor and Kernels. Happy flashing! :fingers-crossed:

After I get root, can I completely deGoogle my phone? Since there is no Lineage OS for XPERIA 5, can I manually get rid of all of Google's stuff?
Help is greatly appreciated.

Yes You can. But You can also install LOS 17.1 from the GSI Forums. I also did Instructions for flashing GSI Treble ROMs in the Xpiera 5 Guides Forum :good:
After that You may want to have Magisk to pass safetynet and to install MicroG or NanoDroid to get everything working. I'm actually running PHHs AOSP with My SOM Module and it's one of My Favorites so far. You may also like Havoc OS Official which also comes as no Google Apps Version. You can do the same on Havoc like You can on LOS but + endless Costomization

I really appreciate your reply, but I am a complete noob and all this is extremely overwhelming.
"PHHs AOSP with My SOM Module" - this alone gives me terrors
I know nothing about these things but I understand you, it's just everyday business for you coz you are a developer. I tried reading your guides and there are so many things I don't understand. I also was traumatized by rooting my S10, which I sold and got Xperia 5 instead. I read here people said I will permanently lose DRM keys after rooting. This is my biggest problem. With S10 I knew I could go back to stock and not worry. Here, if I go all the way and deGoogle my Xperia and it doesn't work the way it should I won't be able to go back and on top of that selling it will be harder and I will lose money since not everyone is willing to buy a phone which can't get Netflix and other DMR-dependent garbage.
Maybe I could sponsor you to help me flashing all the stuff. I just don't know if it's a crazy idea. Also, asking you to rewrite your guides for idiots like me is asking too much, given how busy you are.
If you have some advice I would greatly appreciate it.

First of all. Good choice to get rid of a Samsung Device Like i did with My S9+! Sammy is pushing Android into a Appleish Edge that shouldn't exist...
Just like Huawei. But different Story...
Out of My View with Years of expierence with different Brands is SONY one of the Most supporting OEM in Views of Android Development besides the Fact they Always excluded some functionality of the included Smartphone Hardware. For example:
-Xperia Z1 lost the Complete Camera Function after unlocking (Got fixed with a Update later after Claims from Customers) and lost Display enhancements + Camera Noise reduction
-Xperia Z3 lost the Vibrant Display Colors after unlocking (Aka Bravia Engine) which ended Up in washed Out Colors and was still loosing Noise reduction
-Xperia XZ Premium still loosing enhancements after unlocking plus the loss of Camera Noise reduction
And now the Xperia 5...
Sony used for the First Time Samsung Sensors for the Cameras instead of own ones with High Resolution. So no Noise Reduction needed anymore. Finally OLED, so no washed Out colors without Display Enhancements.
I'm quite Happy with this One since you don't loose Something Essential. Besides that have i Always Managed since the Z3 to fix almost all Problems on Xperias with native Android functionalities that is used on other Devices. Eg. For the Display, Audio, Camera, Mics and so on.
And thats the final Point. While older Devices Had the Chance to Backup and restore the TA Partition or even to use a Recovery on locked Bootloader (I've also worked with this for some Time) which allowed to make Your Device Complete Stock again. We don't really have that Options anymore. So i would say an Unlock is a final Step. But to be honest. I sold many Devices claimed as unlocked and rooted and it hasn't Cut the Price at all. And even if You Don't. I don't think a normal Person will See a difference after unlocking and relocking
Is it worth it? For Me a clear Yes! I never looked back after unlocking any of My "Hundreds" of Devices i used. Magisk and GSIs alone are really worth the Unlock Out of My View actually. You can do so much with Android and it finally doesn't feels Bad anymore on Xperias. My SOM (Magisk based ROM (Systemless-On-Memory) will do a lot of awesome Things with Our Xperias (1 & 5). Another good Reason maybe...
It could be smart to make a Video which explains how to get My Work on Your Xperias. From unlocking to Flashing... Would really like to do that after some preparing for it. Possible that there are a lot of People who don't even know about Bootloader unlocking so it really could be cool. I already did some Videos in the Past; https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMarius517
Think i got a bit lazy since the Software alone takes so much time These days. But i will do My best to get People in Touch and to Show everything step by step.
Lot of Text but Hope i made Your decision to Unlock or not easier... Don't think about the Future of Your Device. Think about what You want from it right now...:good:
Btw. Not Sure but You could try ADB to remove Apps. But idk. If IT IS possible with Google Apps (Locked Bootloader Method)
All the Best,
Miu

Thank you! You are a hero. I will be waiting for your updated guides and possibly a video for noobs. Appreciate your time!
Peace.

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.

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!

Question Not receiving updates for months

Hi, I am hoping on getting some help. I have been struggling to get any updates past the PROS2106071OS00MP2 build. I had that build almost since I purchased the phone.
I've been wanting to update it for so long cause of the NFC update and overall, remove some bugs in the OS. But I have been unable to update it, either via the phone or manually (Using the *#*#1027#*#*).
I found this file online: [SFMobile]PROS2105121CN00MP4 but I don't know how to proceed from there. Im hoping you guys could help me with a global version OTA files, or maybe a way I could flash it using the Fastboot.
My phone is not rooted nor has bootloader unlocked, it's set to factory configurations. Please, I need help updating this phone, I feel I am missing a lot of updates at this point. Its almost going to be a year from the last Google security update that my phone has.
Thanks

I am using Project elixir for almost 2 weeks now. So far so good.
I suggest you dont flash it but instead usi it via DSU. Autobrightness is not working, fingerprint too. There are gcam ports wich are also compatible with our device. Battery life is better than miui. Even adding a card to google wallet works fine, until a reboot.

You shouldve just used google to understand better. But basically its a subsystem method wich was implemented to allow a/b partition devices to be able to run gsis' for testing purposes, without the need of flashing and deleting the original os. Think of it as dualboot for android. The only thing is that if you're using it via dev settings, you dont have the choice of selecting what to boot, but your device will directly download google's official gsi (wich is not very functional and its ugly).
Thats why you just need to download the DSU Sideloader app from PlayStore. The app will do everything with a gsi of your choice if you follow the instructions.
The only thing wich is mandatory is that the BL of your device must be unlocked in order to use dsu.
There are videos on YT showing this. If you want to try the gsi I mentioned, download it from their website.

But basically its a subsystem method wich was implemented to allow a/b partition devices to be able to run gsis' for testing purposes, without the need of flashing and deleting the original os. Think of it as dualboot for android. The only thing is that if you're using it via dev settings, you dont have the choice of selecting what to boot, but your device will directly download google's official gsi (wich is not very functional and its ugly).
Thats why you just need to download the DSU Sideloader app from PlayStore. The app will do everything with a gsi of your choice if you follow the instructions.
The only thing wich is mandatory is that the BL of your device must be unlocked in order to use dsu.
There are videos on YT showing this. If you want to try the gsi I mentioned, download it from their website.

Thank you very much for your explanation and sorry to have asked to you what DSU was, I just wanted to be sure that we were talking about the same thing, I'll give it a try!

No problem, I dont mind explaining, but there are pretty detailed articles, wich may enlighten you better than I can do it. Anyways, if/when you try it you'll really understand how much MIUI is ruining the experience of that pretty device. I was thinking about selling it 3 days after i got it, only because of that deprecated UI with stupid restrictions. I'm really glad i searched and tried stuff. Good luck!

Hi, sorry if I bother you, I've just tried with project elixir GSI using DSU sideloader, but I don't know why when I restart by clicking on notification it doesn't even boot on my GSI... I've installed the sideloader as root installation... I don't know why it's not working...
