Help with MTCD_MX - A-MEDIA AUTO - PX5 on Android 6.01 - MTCD Android Head Units General

Hi guys, just got an android unit for my Citroen C4L. Got it used and it came with everything including the canbus.
Before installing on my Car I wanted to test it out and upgrade to Android Pie but even after reading I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me:
- Below is the config for the unit. Its a 2GB/32GB PX5 unit.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- I already found versions 2.79 up to 2.90 for MTCE_MX but I have no clue on how to update (and if its needed for something)
EDITED: Nevermind that one, got the .img file for MX2_3.13 from May/19 and updated fine
- The unit has only one button, being the reset button. I tried holding for 15-20 second, letting it go and pressing it again in order to try to get into recovery without sucess. Any other known method?
EDITED: After having built a OTG cable and sucessfully connected to the computer I tried using the keyboard to get into recovery cause, why not. Worked perfectly (Holding Alt GR + prints scr and pressing E repeatedly)
- How can I find the version of the BT module? To be sure isnt the one that has issues with android 8/9
EDITED: When I go to factory setting is showing SD-968 but since you can change this setting Im not sure if its the correct module being showed
-The Unit had a SD card slot but when I open a File Manager, it says "SD CARD not available", and when I insert the card, I get a USB STORAGE so my guess is that the SD card slot is just an USB 3 port, meaning theres no way to upgrading android from it correct?
- Would paying the 10 Euro be most practical method for me for the upgrade? Doing that way can I downgrade back to 6.01 is something were to go wrong?
- It is possible for me to run into any incompatibility from the current canbus?
Thanks!

Well, for know I was able to full flash an OREO image with the OTG cable, and then update to the latest Hal9K release.
I noted the serial number changed. Contacted Hal to see if its possible for me to go directly to android 9.0 (paying the 10 EUR)

[Q] Is my SPH-L710 Toast?

Hi guys, I've been scouring Google for 3 days now and can't come up with an answer, everything says use Odin for this and use Odin for that... well I can't.
A few days ago I downloaded an app from the Google store Linuxonandriod or something like that, it's pretty much an installer to place Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android, the instructions began with rooting the phone, I began that process and believe I accidently loaded the incorrect pda to the phone (I have so many files now on my comp, I have no clue which one I selected). Odin rebooted the phone and that's that.
If I try to turn on the phone it goes to the first screen that just says SAMSUNG then turns off, never getting to the Samsung Galaxy III screen. The USB on the phone seems to have been botched, none of my computers will recognize it (Windows or Linux), the phone will not even charge. I can however get into both recovery and download modes without problem.
Naturally, download mode does no good because the USB is useless and I do not have clockwork mod installed on the phone to bypass the verification error.
I tried to simply install clockwork via recovery in hopes that would do something, but I get a verification error with that.
Is there anyway around this using the SD card or am I holding a $300 paperweight?
Thanks

Thanks, for the link. I did check it out, but couldn't figure out what the poster was talking about with drive letters and such. That dmesg | tail told me nothing about my sd. I unzipped everything to the card by a different method but my the computer still wouldn't recognize the phone, so booting back into windows did nothing.
Sorry for the delay in response, I've been extremely busy with work.
I'm still at a total loss on this.

When i boot to the stock recovery all it showed was an android on its back and it said no command and when you reset everything is reset to factory. The only thing i can get to flash is the update files i got from joying and when i put them on a sd card and reset the device with it in it flashes uboot then proceeds with flashing the mcu, boot.img, kernal.img, etc.
If anyone could help i can donate for their time i would really like to install the malaysk rom but everything ive tried has failed.

Heres the update files i was given by joying. When you put them on a sd and reset the unit it will start installing there must be some way to mod it to install the malaysk rom instead.

I don't think you have an MTCB unit. Malaysk rom unlikely to work

In the MALAYSK 5.1 ROM thread there is a link to a tool that allows to create a similar SD card that automatically installs a ROM. Look for SD Firmware Tool

ZenFone 2 - Flash memory failing?

Hi everyone,
This is regarding my ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML (1.8 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM). A few days ago, after 1 year and 11 months of excellent service, suddenly I saw that some of the apps (Play Music, ASUS MiniMovie) were corrupted. But a simple uninstall and reinstall fixed them. Later that day, I was about to open settings when a message popped up "Unfortunately, settings has stopped". Rebooting the phone did not fix it and I was totally stuck as I was unable to clear the data also for the settings app which also requires "Settings" to function. I managed to do a factory reset after which, I could not even get to the home screen because that involves the Settings app as well.

I went on to proceed with factory reset from the recovery mode and to my shock, the recovery mode was also corrupted. Screen just froze with a USB logo. I tried to flash the recovery with xFSTK but got write error.
Then I took apart the device and cooled the flash memory (SK hynix manufactured) with some IPA.
The device booted up and was able to get to the home screen. Then I followed the ASUS standard downgrade procedure to downgrade the device from Marshmallow to Lollipop (which should force flashing of the recovery as well and everything). Phone was stable then. Then following ASUS standard upgrade procedure, I upgraded to Marshmallow and did a factory reset again. Set up everything and phone is rock stable now, performs good as new with no slow downs or anything.
My question is "What exactly happened?" It was never rooted and very well taken care of (even looks like new). Is the flash memory failing? Can the firmware get corrupted on its own?
Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello I am also having the same issue? Can you please explain more about the way you have recovered. I love my Asus Zenfone2. I am trying to do Factory RESET which causes this issue. Do you mean, use IPA to clean the Memory side? Please help me. My email ID is [email protected]
Firstly, try to flash it with xFSTK using the tutorial here on XDA. If it fails, then you need to take the phone apart.

Huawei P20 FRP Lock Removal

Hello XDA,
Hoping someone here can help me. Not sure if it was relevant, but something must be but I was installing an APP on my P20 that helps to verify you to access Canada Gov't websites. Yada yada and now my phone has a password on it. At some point I was given Google Codes, but those do not unlock my phone now. I tried updating the phone from wifi and safe mode however it still comes up with the password screen below. The SIM card is now in my new phone (S20 - done with Huawei) and the old phone is in Airplane mode. When I drag up from the bottom you can see that menu at the bottom that mentions "Enable Magazine unlock" but doesn't do anything except calculator and flashlight.
Yes I can access recovery menu and the option to Factory Reset is certainly there and I know how to use it. The thing is I have over 3000 photos (most of them of our Cats) on there and I cannot and will not lose them. Been hacking this thing for a few days now and even though the P20 does not have an SD CARD slot, I was able to insert a USB stick in the USB-C slot with a bunch of useful hack .APKs but I cannot seem to be able to use them. In the EMUI menu I can select Update from USB but it just hangs at 5%.
I don't mind any kind of solution but it has to keep my data. Would installing Cyanogenmod delete my data? Anyone encountered this before? Also - obviously my phone has not been rooted and trying to connect to the PC via USB does recognize the phone, but Visual Studio, the Huawei software and ADB and everything else does not recognize it enough to communicate with it, perhaps because of the password.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you try to make a backup onto your pc or does it not see the device? I know there’s Back up Option under recovery mode at more than one place but not so sure if it would include all of your data.
The only way to disable a password on a huawei is thro factory-reset along with the password setup proses.
You said something about google codes. Can’t it by chance be from your find my phone, that the device is secured from find my phone platform

[Q] Best approach with FireTV Stick 2 (Tank)

Hello.
I've never been up to date with modifications of all the FireTV Sticks, but recently found here some threads and bad things that OS updates bring/block and I'd like to ask for advice.
My device is as on the screenshot, OS version 5.2.8.4 and with an information in settings, that the update has been downloaded and to be installed when device idle. I disconnected it from power source and seek what are my options and what You'd do to make the best out of this Stick.

This is awesome, but is there anything for FireTV Stick II ?
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/kl1y7z
Would this LeanBack and TVLaunchX work or should I go for WolfLanucher/LauncherManager?
1. I'd like to install a launcher (Wolf?) to speed things up. Is this possible with this OS or should I downgrade?
2. can I still disable OTA updates and stay on this OS version, or should I downgrade?
3. I dont use voice input, don't mind rooting
4. I mainly use the Stick with Kodi
5. I bought a OTG 3xUSB cable and it would be awesome if I could connect a 200GB HDD 2,5" but it doesnt work both because insufficient power supply (doesnt boot when connected) and I read that it needs to be FAT32 formatted. Can I somehow bypass that FAT32?
6. doesn't matter if FAT32 or NTFS, can I somehow share this HDD connected to FireTV via my Wi-Fi, to upload media from my PC to that hard disk?
If you have knowledge about any single thing above, pls share your thoughts or links. Thanks!
2. Exact moment with solution plus website. Also a solution, if the update has been downloaded and awaits install
https://www.techdoctoruk.com/block-updates-on-amazon-devices-new-method/
5. This gut explains it. At least 2A power supply and FAT32 is a must
https://www.reddit.com/r/firetvstick/comments/bimiwc/_/enbxqgu
6. Usefull info here. Running samba share only on rooted ROM as it requieres blocked ports. Migrating files should be easy with a FTP server that can be easly started with EsFileExplorer
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/4jjyi4
The file size limit of 4GB really bothers me with FAT32. I'll look for other solution but I'm against running my PC as a server. Will look if my router can handle file sharing
