[Q] Help rooting Pumpkin Quad-core Android 4.4 Kitkat Car Stereo

I just bought an Android head unit from Pumpkin Audio http://www.autopumpkin.com/new-products/pumpkin-quad-core-android-4-4-kitkat-car-stereo-double-din-6-2-inch-in-dash-gps-navigation-system-support-3g-wifi-odb2-dvr-air-play-7-color-button-indicator.html
Everything's working fine for the most part but I want to root it to fix a few minor inconveniences. Pretty much the same issues most people have around here(connect to my OBD2 bluetooth device, map steering wheel buttons for 3rd party applications, etc) but I can't find any information on how to root it or even any ROMs for this head unit or it's CPU.
Does anybody know If/how I can root this or even install a new ROM (I don't mind either one)?
Thinks in advance.

You will want to start by reading this thread, paying attention to the details on the first post.

You can install any of the pre-rooted ROMs that match up to your CPU(RK3188) and screen resolution(800x480).

Thanks for your reply. I had seen that thread before but didn't see any ROMs for RK3188. There are some in the repos mentioned there but the rooted ones are either for RK3066 or just don't say which CPU they're for. The closest I've found is on the list of Boo's ROMs on the Custom section of the Google Drive repo which says it's KK4.4.4 and rooted but it doesn't say if it's for RK3066 or RK3188. Am I missing something?
Also, I don't know yet if my unit is KGL, Klyde, RoadMaster, GS, JY or MD yet. For what I gather from your post, I can install any ROM as long as it's for the right CPU so, Assuming Boo's ROMs are for RK3188, I don't need to bother checking which kind of unit I have, am I right?

Make sure you match up your CPU(RK3188) and screen resolution(800x480) and you will be fine!

Same for me with the GF. I'll try Malaysk's ROM tomorrow and see how it goes.

there are a couple of ROM on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...n-quadcore-t3095354/post60424308#post60424308
i have a PUMPKIN Quadcore RK3188 800x480 - MCU 2.51, flashed with Malaysk Rooted ROM, this ROM have all that you need to control your stereo, you can use the XposedMTC to change the steering wheel button actions.

the KD-C0410 model uses a DUAL CORE Processor RK3066, you can't use RK3188 ROM's, the RK3188 is a QUAD CORE processor.
in this thread you can find all the development for the RK3066 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662
also remember that most of Pumpkin stereos are made by KLYDE, so you will not find the name Pumpkin look by KLD

That's exactly what I ended up doing. Malaysk's ROM has been working fine so far since I flashed it on saturday and I was able to change/fix everything I needed.

thanks!

Do any of you know if the ram can be upgraded in these Chinese head units? I know inside the Joying head unit there is what looks like a ddr3 ram slow. I am unsure if the Pumpkin variant has one as well.
If it does, in theory it should be able to be upgraded.
I asked the Pumpkin Auto people if this was possible and they said no. I am thinking they may have said this cause the want the buyer to buy the ram from them instead of using a 3rd party stick of ram.
Anyone care to weigh in on this?

please delete, sorry

Hi
This is my second HU I had a Xtrons PF75Q5FA, the Joying is better than the Xtrons.
All the basic functions work well. No problems with the bluetooth or radio that sum people have had.
The WiFi seems very slow, connection signal strength OK just slow.
The display suffers from reflection making it hard to read at times, I fitted an anti-glare protector which helps.
The stock launcher is OK.
Tried using "Carwebguru" which I prefer, unfortunately when you press the physical 'Home' button the unit goes back to the default launcher,
using the soft 'Home' button works fine.
Generally I am happy with what is a basic unit.
If you would like some pictures I have had the unit apart (soldering of BT/WiFi cables is bad)

Have you set Carwebguru as the defalt launcher in settings? The new one wont be able to do it on its own.
Soldering a legit SMA and antenna does wonders, did on my MTCB. My Joying PX5 wifi was ok, nothing to bother with changing.

Here's what I'm hoping for:
Run a custom launcher
Run a few useful travel apps (GasBuddy, TPMS monitoring, trailer leveling app)
Be able to control what the source button on the front rotates through (AM, FM, SD card files, perhaps IHeartRadio, perhaps Spotify, etc.)
Backup camera
Video output (for GM's rear headrest displays)
I plan to use my phone as a wifi hotspot for any apps (i.e., GasBuddy) that require data.

Custom launcher: good to go
Travel apps: sleep may break functions, don't know.
Custom Source: This will require root, xposed, tasker, I only have ideas in theory in how this would work.
Backup camera:gtg
Video output: I believe video output will only happen from stock video app, it may be picky on formats, aspect ratio, etc..
About root, and xposed; Its not really fully tested yet. I've been able to do it over USB, other(s) has not. Even then my root is only temporary, it is lost on reboot. If your HU ever looses power (change car battery) you will have to re-root. I'm lucky that I can do it from my tablet, but it relies on the cloud (kingoroot), that does not make me comfortable in trying to future proof my head unit. Granted, you only need root once for xposed but there could be a feature or a work around that would suck to loose on reboot.
Issues with non stock music players. Spoitfy, for example will continue to play for 5mins after you turn off the car. There are workarounds, it's easier with xposed, tasker. Without root you have to trigger tasker off of wifi, or a ACC powered USB device to pause the music.
If you really like to tinker, I recommend the android headunits. Anticipate bench testing for some time before you install into auto.
I've posted about it before, but I'll again share my favorite piece of hardware.
RcJoyCon - Steering wheel interface
http://www.exinterface.com/cpjexc/
Works with CANBUS, IBUS, Restive controls, converts them to USB keyboard. When used with Xposed Additions, gives you crazy amount of SWC power. Single, double, triple clicks, double taps, triple taps, tap and hold, can all be task assignments in Android. It also allows to change button layout depending on app being used. I could't live without it, I "could" do "everything" from just my steering wheel controls.

Wow, thank you for taking the time to type this all up! Lots of extremely useful detail aimed exactly at my planned usage.
I definitely plan on a solid amount of bench time configuring whatever I choose before installation - this is part of the reason I'd like to order sooner than later!
If I get lucky and my unit can root over USB, then I'm okay with the power-loss behavior because I can reroot without having to remove the unit from the vehicle (I think?).
The Spotify behavior sounds pretty annoying. Is this a Spotify issue that I'll face no matter which unit I choose, or is it something specific to the UM135N4PX5?

Common bug of these android head units. Can't really recommend PX5 right now.
Look into Joying sofia 3gr, Intel, still learning alot, but its the best option right now.

Does Sygic Navigation& Spotify work with this Unit?

I ordered their new 4GB PX5 unit, but currently have an older rk3188 unit they sold 2 years ago. I've loved it, minus the horrible radio reception despite the powered antenna in the car wired correctly and turning on.
Anything that can be done on these units to improve radio reception?

@carter.w.jason
You have a PX5 and a Sofia. The Sofia units have a bug in their GPS HAL since the October ROM or so. It uses integers to calculate the m/s instead of floats. It means that the speed steps are going in 4 km/hr step up and down, instead of 1 km/hr steps. The GPSSpeedFix xposed module corrects this.
Does the PX5 have this same GPS HAL integer/float bug or is it functioning correctly?

[SOLVED] How to use Steering Wheel Controls (SWC) with Zlink/Zbox/Spotify/Apple Music

[SOLUTION]
This integration is not present on most head units so I wrote a Xposed module which hooks the proprietary button press handling methods and translates them into standard HID keypresses. This means that SWC will work with Zlink/Zbox and it will also work with other apps on the head unit such as Spotify and Apple Music.
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79312591&postcount=56 for the first release and follow the thread for later releases.
Note that there are two types of releases, final and debug releases. Final releases do not display and debug information via toast messages on the screen. Debug releases display button press information via toast messages on the screen which allow users to collect this information and submit it on this thread so that it can be integrated into the module and their buttons can be supported.
[ORIGINAL PROBLEM]
Hi all,
I recently just picked up a Witson W2-W329 unit. Basically it's a PX5 unit with the following OS Build and firmware:
CPU: ARM Cortex-A53 eight-core 2+32 GB PX5; CPU: PowerVR G6110
Build: PX5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.bsp.20180528.174007 test-keys
MCU: 2018-04-16 17:04:06 ZHAN_(NOR)__90_C9RD6686_CAN(A)PX5D1804160
After some fiddling with USB ports I managed to get CarPlay working and to be honest the interface makes the unit feel premium vs the standard bluetooth audio interface. I'd love to use it over the standard interface BUT.... steering wheel controls don't work.
I've got it installed into a Renault Koleos which has a CANBus box. So here is my question...
Has anyone else used CarPlay on a PX5 unit and been able to use their steering wheel controls with it?
It would seem as if the OS just has to push the commands through to the app via some sort of an API. The kind of integration you would expect...

Are you using the zlink app for Carplay or do you have a dongle?

Zlink. What Witson unit do you have? Is it PX5 and running CAN? Do you know if the SoM is made by FYT?

what is different is that i have a built in dvd drive and the joying unit does not.
1. Is it a bad idea to try this firmware? joying has a newer firmware
2. is it possible to revert to the preinstalled firmware if it does not work properly (backup)?

A few thoughts:
Some weeks ago the user @walkin123 tried the same thing. He installed the latest Joying FW onto his Seicane unit. The unit accepted the firmware but knew that it was not a joying unit (they must have some sort of a handshake with the MCU) and therefore displayed a banner at the top of the screen indicating that the FW does not match the MCU. Even though his FW supported CAN it seems that it does not support all of the vehicles that the Seicane FW did and so he was unable to select his particular vehicle from the Android system. Even though Android does not perform the CAN decoding it seems as if it configures the MCU and possibly the CAN box as to what vehicle to decode for and without the option to select his vehicle he lost all CAN inputs including steering wheel commands. On the plus side the FW solved all of the other bugs that he was experiencing.
Another possible problem is that while the MCUs and the interconnections within the units are similar they are not identical. For instance they seem to use different radio tuner modules which the MCU controls via I2C/I2S. You may lose radio functionality if the different modules are not protocol compatible but you may be OK if they are.
Regarding the backup and restore option, this is something that I have been investigating for the last week. I believe that it should be simple to make a backup of the /system /restore /data and /misc partitions so that an Android restore should be possible. Whether or not the unit will allow you to force an older ROM over a newer ROM is something that I am unsure of. @surfer63 or another experienced member would be able to help you there. In the case of the MCU I also believe it is simple to extract the img but once again I am unsure of how simple it would be to write it back over whatever you install.
Perhaps @surfer63 or one of the more experienced guys could comment on this.

Ok, thnx for the explanation!
I'll probably wait/hunt for a more suitable firmware then.
I think the swc function for the zlink app is just something they forgot to implement, all other stock apps do have swc, so a small update would fix it.
I also noticed that the zlink software in my unit is 2.X. The latest from zjinnova is 4.X.

All the best getting firmware out of Witson. I think you would be the first person I have hear of as being successful in doing so. They have literally zero support. I would never suggest buying from them unless you absolutely have to. Joying support is FAR better.

I'm afraid you're right. i think i will try some retailers selling "s200" devices that claim they provide software updates.

Somone on this forum has extracted an updated version of the zlink apk from a joying firmware with build in carplay support. Could this solve the steering wheel problems? Is it possible to run the 2 apk’s with different version numbers side by side?

Just be sure you are not mixing the zBox APK with the zLink APK. If you did find an updated zLink APK I'd be interested to know where. I would like to give it a test.

All the best getting firmware out of Witson. I think you would be the first person I have hear of as being successful in doing so. They have literally zero support. I would never suggest buying from them unless you absolutely have to. Joying support is FAR better.

On this site there are people who do get newer versions of certain s200 wxxx mcu’s from witson, So if a new version is released you will probably find it there first.

Sweet mother of pearl.......WITSON just contacted me with a firmware update dated 02.08.2018. After weeks and weeks of absolutely no feedback whatsoever they just dropped this one....
Will install it this weekend and see if it fixes the issue.

Nice!, Thats fresh from the oven. Is it specific for your car?:angel:

It's labelled as specific in the filename but when you scan through the MCU folder it has a list of compatibly radio and CAN configurations that seems to cover everything that they sell.

Dig through the archive and check what dates the files were modified on. Looks like they labelled it 02.08.2018 but to be honest there is not much in there that was modified after April.

I’ve installed it, and it is EXACTLY the same mcu number (same date, same time, same everything) as you described in the beginning of this topic. Nothing changed, zlink app still on 2.4

Exactly my point. Did you check the android build details and are they also the same?
Joying actually make improvements based on the problems that the customer is experiencing. WITSON stick their head in the sand and hope that the problem will disappear. I'm planning on doing a youtube review to show how poor the service is and how many bugs the unit has just to try and help other people. To be fair I will probably give it another month to see if they are actually interested in working on new firmware.

I did not check the Android build yet. A youtube review might be usefull, also for witson to see how they are screwing things up. I hope there will be custom/alternative roms available in the future, since it uses the same hardware as many other brands. I will try The zlink apk from Joying this weekend to see if it changes anything.

I know that gtxaspec is working on a custom ROM for FYT based PX5 units. He fried his FYT SoM though so I think he needs more time to get another. When that is ready it should be compatible with our units provided it does not touch the MCU. That being said I am not too familiar with all of the interfaces between SoM and motherboard and whether there are major differences in implementation between the two resellers. Could be that the Joying ROM (which gtxaspec) is basing his off does not have support for the CAN vehicles that we need...anyway we will see with time.
Let us know how the new zlink app works out.

Take a look here : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=973677
I use Google translate, but I am not brave enough to flash any of the ROMs from there.
I have the same unit I'm my Camry.

I have the same one, bricked it flashing boot.img patched by magisk. Supposedly magisk patched boot.img has to be flashed into 'recovery partition', not 'boot' partition. I have made more or less full backup of the unit but do not know how to enter recovery mode using buttons or shorting wires.
Regards

I have a Hizpo Android10 head unit with the same MCU version (I think, first letters are same: S32F0). Also interested in if there are updates available and how the h**l you can acivate recovery mode with button presses.

Hoping as time passes more will get these HU's and eventually root and cook a ROM for them.
Mine has a number of issues,
1) The OEM reverse camera only works for 3 seconds when selecting reverse then it switches off
2) The basic DSP works but the more advanced DSP doesn't
3) GPS is very inaccurate
4) No RDS
5) Volume and radio channels change by themselves
6) Car settings don't work
7) Open doors indicator is switched around, left door open shows right door on HU.

Are you sure you have the same unit?
Because:
1) My reverse camera works,
2) DSP Works
3) Gps never give me problem, error of 3 meters is normal
4) RDS works perfectly
5)Never happen to me
6) car setting works, i changed SW and other settings
7) I didnt have that functions (in my car) so i cannot test

I have a RK3368 RockChip PX5 head unit with MCU S32F0 processor, I have no idea what one you have or if it's the same.
What I listed are the problems with mine, why I don't know, but as there's not much other recourse hopefully a ROM update might fix things with mine.

Thanks, I had seen that but the first post says (translated):
"There is essentially no information about it, there are no modified firmware either., The firmware in the header was sent by the seller and was not checked for operability, it is up to you to sew or not.
There were no known attempts to get root on the device."
so it doesn't seem much has been done

The gps works well.
No GPS navigator in the rom.
Torque OBD included

Installation:
Copy the zip file to a USB stick or SD card formatted in FAT32
Put in the radio on, press RESET
The installation is done at restart, duration 10mns, remove the key or the SD when installation finished and green screen displayed.

I have an really odd problem with my HU, the reverse camera view goes off as soon as one starts moving and comes back on when stopped again. I fixed most of the other issues I had but this one still persists.
It's an Android 9 HU in a Ford Ranger PXII/T6.
Any ideas?

I had the same issue it turn out the video cable going from the headunit to the camera was bad

I have a Hizpo Android "10" Headunit (Advertising claims Android 10, but the unit actually runs Android 9). This model is specifically designed for BMW E90 Series cars, but I'm sure the chipset and software is the same across their devices. (Part: AD8CHKSOI2I08772)
Specs are the Cortex A53 Octa-core and 4GB Samsung DDR3.
Here is the Build number information from inside Android settings:
ANDROID: 213328
MCU: S32F0_XinRC-18_20199820_HA1_6686_D_FF_C8
APP: PX5_C54_HA1_XRC_EN2019-09-02-2008
The password for the factory settings on my unit is "0000".
Inside here there are a couple useful features such as:
1. Mute Radio on system startup
2. Reverse Doors for Car Overlay Feature
3. Change Boot Splash Screen
I am hoping to root this device so I can hide the Android navigation bar and convert over to gesture controls only, enable USB data tethering with my iPhone, and disable some system services/apps as the device can be laggy at times, unacceptable behavior with 8 cores and 4GB RAM, especially in mid 2020!
But overall I am happy with the device.

Bought my new head unit for Jeep Grand Cherokee from Erisin.
It is the new model ES8176J, PX5 Octa Core with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM.
I was supposing that it was a MTCx but it seems that the MCU is the S32F0 one.
Do you know where I can find updates, modded ROM, root, etc?

I have a Zltoopai unit for a BMW e82. Think pretty much the same as jahjah440.
ANDROID: 145358
MCU: S32F0_XinRC-18_20200527_HD1_7708_D_FF_DSP_C8
APP: PX5_C54_HA1_Xrc2_EN2020-06-05-1728
I'm running it with a Carlinkit carplay dongle which works great. It just doesn't allow me to run radio in the background. I'd like to be able to set the carlinkit app as navigation app so it won't mute the radio. I can't do that now.
Want to get rid of the stock launcher because the unit keeps asking me to chose between that and Agama...
If it can do that it's perfect. Now it's pretty good.

BOSION Android 10.0 PX6

Hello colleagues ... I have bought a Boison Android 10.0 PX6 unit for my Mercedes Vito Tourer 114cdi vehicle ... and the buttons on the steering wheel do not work ... etc ... I want to change the cambus protocol on this Android 10 unit ... is it possible?
thanks greetings

Have you set up the buttons in the settings

I have tried it ... but he does not recognize them when I press it

I have the exact same problem. Tried installing it today, Same head unit, in a 2012 Vito. With exactly the same problem. The cambus is not recognised by the unit or the vehicle.... I used the harness supplied with the bosion specifically for the vito but noticed on the original headunit there is 2x 12 pins (male) but the provided harness does not have these pins. (New here so unsure how to post photos)

Fixed....
Just an update, incase this pops up again.
I got in touch with the retailer who sent me a small video of a hidden settings option.
Inside there you have to change the "can version" mine was set to 0 without any settings preset.
The video is hosted on Dropbox showing how to set it correctly, here:

Appreciate it looks a bit suspect but it is a genuine instructional clip.
Edit......
Ok that didn't work, haha.
I will send the clip to a forum admin and they can add it to the topic

how is this unit?
Hi guys I am looking at purchasing this unit, the Price seems cheap for what it looks like you get... I see you found a work around for the canbus issue, are there any other flaws you have found? Can you replace the factory launcher with Nova launch or others? Does it have full access to the real google play store? Any lag or performance issues? Did it provide any noticeable audio improvement, is it 4x50 watt? any info or reviews would be GREATLY appreciated.

Honestly buddy.
It was bought for my work van.
Sound quality ain't all that good, however, this could be poor speakers.
I think it has full play store?
I've not actually checked everything but if I sign into my account, it shows all my apps in the library ready to install.
I can't comment on replacing the launcher.
It is not something I need to do as I am literally in the van for short amounts of time each day.
I have not had any lagging issues but again, it is not in use a great deal.
However the display is all fuzzy when mirroring my phone.
Boots up in around 10 seconds.
Google maps voice is an American female. I am in UK.
Possibly able to change that in the app though.
Essentially, I was looking for a Bluetooth headunit that had navigation capabilities and this does both faultlessly. Although it is better with an external mic.
Will be wiring in the reverse camera at the weekend. (And dash cam, if it arrives in time)
For the price I don't think you can go far wrong.
I asked a administrator to add the video but they don't want to for some reason?
Said I should post the link using spaces. I will do that at some point tomorrow. (I am currently posting through my phone and the link is saved on my laptop).

Thanks for the feedback
Matsons, thanks for the feedback this is helpful. Like you said for the price you kind of can't go wrong, I do see some development on the STM32 MCU recently as well, so if it can be rooted, should be able to fix most of the bugs we run into. Thanks again for the feedback!

hello,
how did you get in the hidden settings option ?
i have the same problem to solve.

That's great, you found a retailer that will actually support your unit. Will they give you root?
I look forward to playing with the secret menu. I wonder if I can get a Ford to work without an interface module.
I have installed 4 of these single din px6 in different cars/rv's. For the money, I love them.
Screen is beautiful, controls are snappy.
I sure hope more development happens with them.

I also have a Bosion PX6. Does anyone have a website or email for Bosion for questions? Im not able to get canbus to work in 2010 Toyota.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I am going to modernize my car by changing the old 1 din radio for an Android device, I am researching these two devices:
Joying UIS7862 Android 10 Octa Core 4Gb 64Gb
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMUKPv7
Bosion BX-D11 Android 10 PX6 Cortex A72+A53 4Gb 64Gb
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNFYobL
Taking into account your knowledge of the subject, which of both is better in terms of performance, possibilities, better sound quality and fewer errors. I want it to be compatible with reverse camera, dvr cam, ocb, etc.
Thanks for replying and excuse my English.

Hello forum hijacker,
I suggest not replacing with a Chinese unit, unless comfortable with issues, lack of reseller support and intermittent issues.
Instead, consider a genuine, branded Android Auto unit, which the Chinese units are not.
If you decide you still want a buggy Chinese Android head unit, an MTCD/E type has alot of user base, who work on problems / mods. E.g. Dasaita/Hot audio.

Bosion is Android 9 not 10 MCU is STM32 software is buggy with Malaysk ROM its better.
