MCU .bin file modding - Android Head-Units

Can someone direct me to where people work with bin files for MCUs? I have seen a post where someone was able to decode from binary to assembly and was able to edit it.
I didn't save this post and now after searching for 3 days, can't find it. I hope it was not deleted by moderators. I don't remember which section of XDA it was.
I need to turn off radar function from can bus and I believe the only way for me to do it is to somehow disable it in MCU communication.
Thank you for any help.

I had a look at it some time go, but abandoned it pretty soon.
User @typos1 wrote a post about MCU mods, where he mentions that a user @Wadzio did quite some things on it and via a few other links is pointing towards a github repository where it is explained.
But that is for mtcd units (and I'm on FYT units. The most important reason I did not want to spend more time on it).
HAL9K also seems to have done it and written about it.
Hope that helps a bit.

Yeah, you ll find it in the MCTD forums.

Guys, thank you so much! I'll try to take a stab at it.

HELP for new owners ! Startup information

Hello community
I am a great fan of this community and i have recently bought a HTC Wizard and now, more than ever, i follow all the news on this site.
But, regardless of this, being a new owner has its handicaps, meaning i am missing a lot of the basic information on operating (modifing, customising, etc.) my device.
I have been using a HP4700 but i have recently bought an Orange M3000.
i hope that by this post, me and all the newcomers would find valuable information and answers and also the basic knowledge to be able to understand and contibute in more advanced threads.
Thank You
I would like to know what would be the first steps to follow when buying a new device to get the most out of it.
I mention that the my device is operator locked, and, i do not necessarily want to unlock it, but i want to decustomize it and to be able to flash it with the newest roms and use all enhancing tweaks
all information is appreciated, thank you
You either need to do some readings around here, or you can search for specific question. Would be difficult for others to spoon-feed you
To decustomized it, the basic (easiest way) is to skip the customization installation after hardreset. That is to soft reset the device just after the security screen. You have 3 seconds to soft reset your device after the security screen.
I am very interested to read every single post regarding my device. But, i have noticed that information is scaterred around and hard in getting the wide picture for starters.
I also intend to contribute to this post in order to provide the newcomers with needtoknow information so they can one day prove useful to this community, being "spoon-fed" early may develop solution-providers later.
Thank you for your interest.

Just an idea or two

How about on this thread,we answer two things ,which may helpspread awarness of apps & prog out there maybe also help see what your exec can do and achieve
If the above idea is ok I'd like to ask two things
A
If you just got a brand new shiny out the box exec,what would you do too it and what would you add.?
I Intend this weekend to save and compress any memory,by using another ROM and other software,but I have no idea,so ill search the site this weekend
secondly maybe we can post up here ,things you'd like,your exec to do,
hopefully if your request isn't too OTT,someone may know a way or provide a link
for e.g.
I'd like my exec to watch tv is this poss?
reply
either pre load your memory card with compressed films and use a dvd software,like this
www.alink.com
or install slingbow and the relevant software,this is there homepage
www.homepage.com
a one thread resource for a how to,regards the limitations of an exec
jaceuk - we're having this discussion over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56072&highlight=
But basically, the wiki lives, and is used as a repository for knowledge. Anyone can access/update it. That's the best way to distribute this type of information.
Regarding what to do with your Exec, there are several threads on the subject... eg what software to install etc.
OTT requests - just post them. People will respond if they can!
Very few things are too OTT

Thanks as always ur the gent,i was unaware of the wiki ill look
thanks
But any questions, search first, but do ask. That's why we're a community

Very Difficult to find useful information

First off- this is a great site with valuable information for all matters HTC. It has been a resource that has helped me get more use out of my HTC products.
I have a Universal, Dash, Athena, Startrec, and Wing.
Lately I have been trying to get some useful information for the Athena and no amount of searching, reading Wiki ing can answer my questions or even help me get a baseline understanding of things with the Athena.
It is quite frustrating- I would want to straightforwardly ask a question in a new thread, but it seems that the more experienced people on this board jump to the conclusion that a question is the result of not searching or not reading. I can tell you that I spend hours a day searching for things on this site and often times find irrelevant search results or endless threads with needle in haystack like answers that only partially answer questions. Is there anyway to organize this space better so that questions can be answered more efficiently?
The wiki is not useful for the most part- it has less info than some threads- links are old or irrelevant and searching is plain useless.
Great site everybody but darn frustrating for finding info- Any one else having this issue?
RT
Probably not...
What info are you after and I'm sure someone will be able to help - then maybe you can update the Wiki yourself if you think it needs it!
I want upgrade the radio, but I am not sure if the phone needs to be CID, its the HTC model w/o front facing camera. If it does need to be CID, not sure how to do it properly. There are tons of posts of people who have bricked their units using methods that would use to CID. So I am sorta scared to try anything- every method I see suggested is followed by another thread of someone for whom the process went badly. Also I cannot get a reliable place to download a radio and which radio is the best or useable with a later rom? I read that some radios don't work with some roms and there threads of people tried to upgrade ROMs but found that they had radio problems, WIFI, bluetooth and GSM issues. Is there a better radio to use than others? Is their a reliable place to get the requisite radio version?
What ROM version makes sense. The current ROM on my Athena is awful- the worst ever. I downloaded AP4 and right before I geared up to use it, I read a ton of posts which say is does not work with WIFI- WTF? Is there a version of it that does work with WIFI? Is there another version of the ROM that is stable and downloadable? Also I have seen mentions of various types of ROMs, but no real explanation of what these ROMs are and where to get them.
Mind you I have done tons of stuff with my universal, dash, wing, MDA and have had an easier time finding info, links and resources.
Anyway- I just cannot seem to find coherent info here. If I do find coherent info, I would more than happy to help out with the WIKI or some sort of wiki that clearly outlines key info such as
1. Here are the various Rom options and what they do
2. Here are the various Radio options and what they do
3. Here is a coherent, un confusing guide to CID that won't brick your machine
4. Here is a link that works and clearly states which software versions are available for download
5.Here are idiot proof instructions on how do to perform key functions of upgrading.
Before everyone flames this remember I have seen the various posts and threads that talk about these things, but they are usually followed by tons of people who have had problems with ROM, Links, Bricks and other issues. In addition a lot of the information is plain confusing.
So if anyone out there has clear links or pointers let me/us know I will volunteer to compile it because right now I am about ready to toss my crippled Athena out the window.
RT
I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you mean, but from my experience with XDA communities, the Athena has a relatively non "newbie friendly" approach. I don't mean to insult anybody of-course, but the switch from the Wizard community to the Athena one was hard, and I feel like people here save too much info for themselves and don't like to share or help new people. I must say, I don't mean to insult anybody or criticize, I'm merely expressing my feelings from my one month around here.
Unlock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
Radio - latest 1.57 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372904
AP4 works fine with Wifi unless you screw up badly - then it CAN be fixed.
Simple, unlock, flash radio 1.57 or leave at 1.5 if you are happy with it, if you have an earlier version it's best to upgrade, then flash AP4.0
I will give it a try
Thank you for all the responses in short time. I have seen these threads and read the aftermath, but I will try them anyway and hope for the best.
Thanks again for the replies.

OK- none of the files I was pointed to seem to work. I get tons of error when I try to open them. Is there a place that provides instructions on getting the process to work properly?

After about a week reading, I have not been able to find the procedure of flashing the radio of this device. "flashes the same way as the ROM" is as close as I have been to the info. I have a device that shows no radio installed, the olipro tool never advances past 0% and gives an error, after which the phone is stuck in bootloader mode and has to be reflashed with a non radio containing ROM in order to get it to boot again. Radio containing ROM's like Black Touch get stuck at 85%, with the same chore of reflashing a non radio ROM afterwards. I downloaded radio 1:58, but the download only has the actual radio file, no flashing utility. Copying the utility from a ROM file does not work either. Someone else in the same situation has a thread for help. He tried flashing from the SD card, but no dice. His thread is not receiving any useful posts from any of the gurus. The "excellent" video that is pointed out in the olipro unlocker thread is mute, so you have to peel your eyes to see through the low quality picture and still can't read the dialogs shown on screen. Those that ask questions are called idiot or lazy and after reading these posts, the searching for info turns into a graceless process. If the chiefs managing this section of the site care about it being useful, a concise, informative, black and white type sticky thread, read only, closed to responses would be a good idea. Maybe inserting the flashing procedures for unlocking, ROM and Radio flashing into the Athena Wiki would also help. This way newbies and others can come and read the basic procedures without having to filter through the vast amount of threads that only lead to more confusion. I wish I knew more about the procedures, I would beef up that wiki, but I'm afraid I can do more damage than good with my limited knowledge.
completly agree
i have read every page on the advantage x7500,being such an old phone you would thin the genius,s on here could sort it out in seconds,but all they do is insult you.i tried to update from windows 6 on radio 1.20 to michys radio 6.5
it got to 94 percent then crashed, now when i boot up i just get a black and white screen,which then turns white,if it try to reinstall advantage 6.0 the phone reets after 2 or 3 percent..will anyboby help by giving simple term advice to unbrick it? NO.will they provide links to there advice no.THEY JUST INSULT YOU AND SAY ITS IN ONE OF THE THREADS.well im a computer tech and if anybody wants there pc or laptop fixing.guess what i will return the favour with computer speak,THAT YOU CANT UNDERSTAND

Unknown Android Radio RockChip RK2928-G CarAvn_C2 2017-02-28 Firmware

I have a unknown assumed Android head unit that I am in need of firmware, and instructions to install it. I took as many pictures as I could, and tried to research old invoices, email, and eBay purchase history to no avail on a model number. There are no markings on the case, the only markings on inside, and have been pictured. I combed Google using text, and images, still nothing. It looks like a tablet PCB soldered to a generic stereo. I am looking to change the firmware in this unit as its current firmware is virtually useless. Any help is appreciated. I am also not opposed to just installing anything that will work then using apps to control the radio hardware, if that is possible.
Well I can't seem to post images, maybe I am just a typical noob. My bad in advance.
If it´s really a RK2928, you should spare your time.
For pictures: You need to have some postings to be allowed to share pictures.
Just upload them to Google, Dropbox or similar and post the link to your pics.

Thank you for the advice. It was purchased by my in-laws back in '17. I was just looking for a project piece. Ill attempt to add the dropbox link here: /sh/ffmd8gvniw0ar3d/AACgeG2zlYeEcI-XpeuSm2UAa?dl=0[/url]
I´ll post the corrected link to your unit, because the forum SW just cuts it off automatically.... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ffmd8gvniw0ar3d/AACgeG2zlYeEcI-XpeuSm2UAa?dl=0&preview=IMG_0310.jpeg
This is a Win CE unit, from what I can see on the first pic. See the first icon which is the Windows symbol.
Nevertheless.... Nothing to update for this oldie.... at least not at XDA.
Let it RIP or use it as FM radio elsewhere.

Or maybe somebody know how to find this kind of files?
Google is not friend for this search definitely.
Thanks in advance,

Does somebody know where to find this kind of file or how to generate correct one?
Is there some tool like generator or editor?
Screen is total black, only backlight is turned on.
File 6523lcdconfig.cfg which I've got with firmware from seller caused this situation. Look at attached picture.
(clnpL10P8-MIPI-yt10-SC7705_720X1280_HAIHANG 20200615 15:37:24).
Yes, I know that I've done mistake, but now is too late.
I don't need to say that seller now trying to avoid any answer to me.
Please help me with this issue...

Thanks for info. This is "Head Units/Android Auto General" forum and my question is related to FYT 812 based head unit. Can you tell me please where to post my theme?

You're asking about a head unit which runs Android as an operating system. This forum is for Android Auto, which is completely different. Try https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/android-head-units.4267/

Oh, thanks. Just reported your post as off topic. For the OP, it made sense to point them in the right direction so they know where they should be posting, don't wonder why their post moved, and a mod isn't bothered.
