Hello
I bought 2 years ago an android 6.0.1 car radio type head unit on aliexpress and I would like to update my android but after seeing another site and forum all talked about andoid version px5 or px3 .
And to know the type of car radio you had to go to "about the tablet" and take the given reference.
the problem being that when I go to this parameter I can't find a PX reference ...
I have:
- android version
-Processor information
- baseband version
-system information
-mcu version
but none with a PX reference.
Thank you for your help.
PS I am from France and go through google translate to write.

I have an android head unit. Here is the info of the unit that i could find on the "about device" section. I don't know how to find any other information of the model. Could someone please help me?
this is the one i got
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quad-Core-A...358735?hash=item3ad5665d4f:g:powAAOSwal5YJRnw
processor type = Quadcore-r16 1.6g
android version 5.1.1
MCU version 5.3.19-7-10-656201-160925
system version
4.5.10_20160909
1. how do I enable superuser on this
is there a custom rom for this?
2. where can I get the mcu firmware for this device?

That doesn't really say anything useful.
The only hint about what it *might* be, is that its a quadcore 1.6 GHz, so *probably* a rochchip rk3188.
I hope you got that thing for under $100.
Going to need some more details about the unit to know what it is.

thanks I paid 150 for it. Here is the link to it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quad-Core-A...358735?hash=item3ad5665d4f:g:powAAOSwal5YJRnw
I am not sure how to get any info from the unit other than the about device info.
Could anyone help?
Hi to all, i´m new here.
I have a headunit with this original specs from my notes:
Processor Type
QuadCore-R16 1.6G
Android version
5.1.1
MCU Version
5.3.19-7-10-656201-160925
System Version
4.5.10_20160909
Trying to update ROM accidentaly flash MCU with a firmware update that include MCU update and now radio, bluetooth and buttons don´t work.
I have a friend with the same headunit (bought at the same time and vendor).
Please if someone have a flash dump of my version (or update compatible) or maybe know a way to dump MCU flash with an apk or something.
Thanks a lot for help.
Best regards.

If it does not say MTCB/C/D/E in the MCU description then it is not any of them. There are many MCU variants out there.

Sorry mate, I can't help you with that one. If it's quad core it seems like it's an older unit. Could be a QD unit. There seem to be three main manufacturers, FYT, MTC and QD.
P.S. Please give me a thanks if you appreciated the little help I could offer.
Hi all,
I have this head unit in my car (2gb version)
(can't link because of 1st post, but AliExpress item 32868132999, just put it in search)
and I got links to 2 firmwares that fit it.
mediafire dot com /file/ud14b8lvxz4i684/Quad_Core8.0_PX5.zip/file
mediafire dot com /file/5wkv6rfu26352d7/8.0PX5.rar
1 . First of all - are there custom roms for this? Maybe those firmwares could tell what model I'm working with? I've tried to look around the forums but I can't get a read what model this is.
Baseband version says SF3GR_M-26.3_cpeg_rk-r2p_bc2-20160629_111639
and MCU version says 2018-06-02 12:21:04 FAD_(R76)__90_D1_V1.0_CAN(All) _AMP
2. I've looked at the files in the firmware packages, but I'm afraid to touch those without knowing if it's ok.
And how can I repack Allapp.pkg if I change something inside of it? In Windows 10.
I'd like to have root and disable the "feature" that maxes the system volume every second, I'd like to have my volume by speed back but now it's impossible.
I hope someone could help me to get started, getting really dizzy reading through dozens of threads here!
Thanks!

Based on your specs it looks like a SoFIA model made by FYT. It's important to understand the different tiers of terminology around here. Took me a while and I'm still learning. There are manufacturers (FYT, MTC, QD, etc...) and resellers (Joying, Witson, etc...). Then there are chipsets (Rockchip, Allwinner, SoFIA). Some manufacturers use various different chipsets in their head units. FYT may use some SoFIA and some Rockchip. Some resellers will also sell various different models that come with similar specs but different chipsets. Finally there is the MCU. This is probably the most manufacturer specific part of the whole HU. It handles all of the stuff that Android can't. FYT probably has the best implementation because it is able to hand off more stuff to Android than the others and that means that we are less dependent of a manufacturer specific part. Normally you can tell who manufactures a unit based on the formatting of the MCU string. Your formatting suggests it is an FYT unit. Gtxaspec has a custom ROM out for SoFIA FYT units. Look through the threads posted by him and you'll find it. My best advice to you is to read, read, read and read some more. You will struggle to find one cohesive walkthrough on these forums but if you put all of the pieces together then you will most likely be able to learn a lot.
P.S. If you feel that this helped at all a thanks would be appreciated.
Thank you for the response. I +1 thanked you.

Do you mean the "GTX joying ROM V9a3 for FYT/SYU based Intel SoFIA Head Units!"
or "gtx ROM for "FYT" [JOYING] PX5 Head Units!"? As those firmwares I got have PX5 in their file name, I'd guess the PX5 one. But then when I look inside the firmware packages mcu-folder, there's a text file full of MCU versions that include "FAD_MCU_6021_6022_7786_20180602", and those 6021 and 6022 are mentioned in the non-PX5 rom: "For FYT SoM (5009/6011/6021/6022/6023) based JOYING / Intel SoFIA units ONLY!"
Still confused, haha! Another +1 thanks to a helpful reply

You android build gives away that your unit is a SoFIA. If it starts with SF3GR then it's based on the intel SoFIA chipset. Also, if you look at the specs for the Ali Listing that you mentioned then you will see that it is also listed as a SoFIA unit. The MCU tells you that it is most likely manufactured by FYT. The fact that you see the same in the txt file listing the MCUs supported by the build on your unit confirms that it is manufactured by FYT. As per the Ali listing it is sold by funrover.
You should therefore use the SoFIA FYT ROM by gtxaspec. I've not tried it myself but as far as I understand he does not flash the MCU when you install the ROM so all of the original functionality should remain and you get the benefits of his ROM which are listed in that thread. You will need to root your unit first but that method is well established and discussed for the SoFIA units.
Hi I bought a BMW X1 (E84) that came with one of these units installed already. My question is how I determine who the manufacturer is so I can
find the correct firmware (if possible) to upgrade it. It came with Android 9 and I would like to upgrade that as well. Again, if possible.
TIA
