hello guys
i have asked in all the forums about updating my head unit who runs android 4.2.2 to 4.4.4
and i had no luck of gating answers. my question is: is this because it cant be done or what?
please help me

You need to show the proper about screen that shows what MTCD unit you have.
All those screenshots are pretty much useless information which is probably why nobody is answering you.

You dont have an MTCD unit, as you have an Mstar processor I would guess you ahve an AN21-U, try that thread or the Android headunits general forum.

Eonon update or custom ROM?

I have an eonon GA5180F for my Silverado. ARM CORTEX A9, 1gb ram, Android 4.4.4
Does anyone know of an Eonon update or custom ROM for it?
2ish years ago I emailed Eonon requesting an update and they provided it but they won't do it anymore.

I just emailed them with small glitches that could/would be software related and they sent me a update for mine. I just can't install it

[ROM][PX5][Oreo 8.1] Joying ROM Android 8.1 Oreo for PX5 released

Joying released an Android 8.1 update for PX5:
https://www.joyingauto.eu/blog/category/update-firmware/
Unfortunately I was unable to get it onto my (non-Joying) RNS. It currently runs Malaysk 2.0 and it's not recognized as an update. I also tried writing the sdupdate.img to a bootable SD card using the SD Firmware Tool and also tried the Malaysk for updating 6.0.1 => 8.0 by writing the 6.0.1 boot to the card and replacing the file. All methods failed. Maybe someone has more luck or at least it it interesting for the Joying users. I just wanted to try something different then the Malaysk rom for a change.

Just because joying decided to make a few updates to their 8.0 and call it 8.1 does not necessarily make it any newer than malaysk’s version.

Hi, I just bought joy
JOYING 2GB / 4GB RAM 32GB / 64GB ROM Octa Core CPU Android 8.0
*how to write Malaysk 2.0?

I guess the 8.1 is newer than the 8.0. Also the Joying interface for settings, ... seems nicer. Just wanted to try something different but seems I have to stick to the Malay for now.

Joying/Joyous RK3188/PX5 units are not MTCD/E units, so you cant use any of Malaysk's ROMs and this thread is in the wrong forum.

Xtrons are advertising 8.1 headunits, is there any firmware that will work with a TE103AP? To get the latest firmware for these, we have to email Xtrons for a link that changes every time an update is released so nobody can see if there is a new update available unless you email them, surely they get bored replying with everyones requests for new updates...

No idea what a "TE103AP" is - "TE103AP" is a made up name by Xtrons - they are a seller only and not a manufacturer, they sell units from several different manufacturers.
On XDA we go by the MCU number as this is the only reliable way of identifying an android headunit.
So post your MCU, that way both yourself and XDA members can identify your unit.

Interesting, but they use RK3399/PX6 chipset, so the ROM wont work on MTCD/E RK3368/PX5 devices, the only way you could upgrade to 8.1 would be to buy an RK3368/PX6 SoM, unless MTC bring out an 8.1 update for the RK3368/PX5, which they might well do.
The RK3369/PX5 is hexacore ie 2 less cores than the RK3368/PX5, but they clock faster than the RK3368/PX5 at 2Ghz (RK3368/PX5 1.5Ghz).
The units in those links are MTCD/E units.

not only clock,
at same clock an Cortex A72 is (lot) better than an Cortex A53. ( https://images.anandtech.com/doci/10347/79519.png ) https://www.anandtech.com/show/10347/arm-cortex-a73-artemis-unveiled
(The PX5 is look like an Snapdragon 425 (or 62x) whereas the PX6 look like a Snapdragon 650 (2 Cortex A72 + 4 Cortex A53)

2 less cores but better processor.
Not sure I can be bothered to upgrade again tough - I went from MTCB/C dual core to MTCB/C quad core to MTCD/E quad core to MTCD/E octa core, I ll think I ll stick with octa core for now, it ll be ages before @Hal9k_ releases a custom ROM for the hexa core units !
BTW @ds980x your unit is an MTCD/E unit and in the MTCD/E form there are 3 custom ROMs available plus many factory ROMS, you are not tied to any links Xtrons give you.

Zhangnanyi Head Unit Android 7 Allwinner T8 Octa Core 1.6GHz

Dear all,
I have bought this device:
pl.aliexpress.com/item/Big-Discount-and-Gifts-for-Christmas-Android-4-4-Car-Stereo-For-Mazda-6-Atenza-2013/32548895138.html
I'm totally fresh in android devices, so please don't shouting on me
My question is, could someone point me to appropriate threads, if available, if there is any new firmware, or android version to download, which is better, than the stock.
Also I heared about REDMOD firmware.
Does anyone know about it?
I would be grateful, for any kind of information.
Best regards
Lukasz

eonon GA9450B Head Unit: Any ROMS for MTK 8227L processors?

Hi XDA,
I have the eonon GA9450B which seems to be a good unit, but the UI is a bit rubbish. I was wondering if there are any roms I can install instead of the stock?
I've done a search and have not found anything hence I thought I would ask via a question.
System: Android 10, CPU: MTK 8227L 1.2GHz ARM A7 Quad Core, RAM: 2GB, ROM: 32GB
Thanks in advance for any help

Since it's not an MTCx unit. You might find info by searching '8227L' and also posting in forum with other MTK processor units. I've requested a mod moves this question to the Android Head units forum, because your unit isn't MTC nor does it have a specific sub forum.

Desperately looking for some updates here

I also have the GA9450B
I was able to use the following instructions to get root.
