MTCC-KLD6-V2.97 Problems - Android Auto General

Hi,
I got MTCC-KLD6-V2.97 auto unit and most things work fine but I have some issues and need some answers:
1. Google play services keep crashing. Tried to clean cache/data but it still crashing, usually at starting the car (booting device). Any suggestion to fix this issue.
2. Music app crashes 1-2 times when device boots up. After that it works ok. App has poor interface, no search, lists all folders on the right so navigation is slow. Any replacement app with more features?
I mostly use Rocket player instead of default Music app but only drawback is that steering wheel next/prev buttons do not work with rocket player but triggers default Music app to start.
Any way to replace default Music app with Rocket player app and make those buttons work?
3. Radio app looses stations memory from time to time, and it has that search button at the middle that is easily pressed and easily looses memorized stations. Any alternative/modified Radio app for MTCC-KLD6?
4. If there are alternative Music/radio apps for MTCC-KLD6, how to replace them since my ROM is not rooted?
5. How to root my device?
6. I found newer MTCC KLD9 v2.98 mcu.img and xupdateKLD1024x600LP5.1.1.rk3188.MTCC.October ROM for my radio. Is it worth to make upgrade to those? What are the changes? What would be exact procedure to make upgrade.
Sorry for so many noob questions, hope you can help
Thank you.
Best regards,
Z

This would fix 1-5. MCU update probably wouldnt do a whole lot. Just update rom first.
Procedure is easy, put update.img onto microsd, put it in your gps slot, boot into recovery, wipe all and update.
Actually come to think of it, I think MCU 2.98 has a radio station fix in it. Does it @typos1

Sure does, well at least on KLD3-9, not sure about non numbred KLDs and KLD2s.

Thank you, will try.:good:
Same preocedure for mcu.img ?
I would like to backup some apps with data before update, but for that I probably need root to use titanium backup.
how to root this one or is there other way to backup some apps and data?
Also is there TWRP for this one to make full backup if something goes wrong??
Thanx again.

Yes same procedure as MCU, there is no need to back anything up if you are flashing the MCU. TWRP is not recommended for these units either, but even if it was you cannot flash or backup the MCU with it.

I ment apps backup. I installed and setup some apps (torque, rocket player, igo...) and after I flashing ROM I need to install and setup those apps all over again, don't I?
Also do I need to flash mcu and then ROM or it does not matter which is flashed first?
Thank you.

Separately or together, either way is fine, its good practise to update the MCU as well.

Cool, just non numbered KLDs it doesnt work on then.

So there is no way to keep/backup installed apps and data?
Flash procedure should be like this?
1 boot to recovery
2 select option "update system/mcu image from sdcard"
3 select mcu.img from sdcard and flash
4 reboot to recovery
5 select option "update system/mcu from sdcard and clear all"
6 select rom.img from sdcard and flash
7 reboot to system
8 install apps again

If youre using the standard ROM, other than Titanium or similar no.

I had the same problems with the same product.. and more.. i don't get to install the android auto app... could you help me? Did you have to root your device? Thanks Gustavo

Question regarding KLD, I'm confused about numbers.
What that number after KLD represents?
My device is KLD6-V2.97 and on repository there is KLD9-V2.98 mcu.img
Is that KLD9 img compatible with my KLD6 or do i flash only KLD6 imgs?
Thanx.

Maybe. It appears that numbered kld mcus are interchangeable. It is the non numbered that seem not to be. I have a kld2 that I have flashed both on and it works. Just need to change key options in factory settings(MCU)

Android Auto will not work installed on these units. It is intended to be installed on the phone.

Installed KLD9 2.98 mcu and malaysk rom, and all works fine.
If you flash mcu, take screengrab of all factory settings (pass 126), you'll need to setup it again.
Only thing I noticed is about Igo Nextstep, everithing is smaller on malaysk rom, like DPI is different. Will fix DPI at sys.txt
Also, seams that GPS audio mixing is not exactly as set, even level is 0 music level gets lower when voice is activated.

You can also backup your MCU config and restore it as you would flash an MCU or ROM.

Its not an Eonon, theres no such thing as an Eonon, Eonon sell Klyde units - your is a Klyde, you can tell from the "KLD" bit in the MCU identifier.
Your MCU version is not important when it comes to the ROM.
What do you mean that you cant find the correct ROM ? - you can use ANY 1024x600 RK3188 ROM that you want.

Google play services keep crashing with Malaysk ROM also.
Tried to clean cache/data but it still crashing, usually after car turon and starting it after short time.
There is some "Play Store Fix/" folded at huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/, does those apps fix that problem?
Any suggestion to fix this issue?
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
This ROM is great. every things are working well.
But I don't know how to change the "Right hard key's function. I don't want it show the "recent apps" when we press.
It should be a menu key when we using App.
Please support!
Thanks,

no root after flashign WizCyan
After flashing WizCyan 4 with update 1 I don't have root access. I've tried reinstalling several times and I've also tried to install superSU on it's own using CWM, both the latest version and older versions, with no success. I've also tried to install just v4 but the problem persists. Does anybody have any clue on what could be wrong? I've had root on the phone using other ROMs. I use the latest CWM.
And yes, I chose no when promted to fix superuser in CWM. Although I have also tried to pres yes during one installation.
What version of cwm are you having? Also when you click on the supersu app what message do you get?
I used version 6.0.3.5. Today I installed 6.0.5 and redid the flashing of the update and also of superSU 2.16 by it self from CWM. No difference
When i press the superSU app I dont get any message really. Looking at the log it's as if though the app denies all apps access without asking. I tried changing the settings in superSU to allow all requests and then the phone passed the check with root checker and root apps also seem to work. No app is added to the SuperSu applist.

I would suggest that you do a clean install of the ROM, now that your recovery has been updated
Excessive consumption of battery
Sorry, but this was translated by google.
I found a big problem in version 4 and is the battery, prior to this version, the battery works well, the battery lasted the whole day, but now the battery hopefully enduring three hours.
Please, give solution to this problem or any suggestions, as I really like this ROM and do not want to change the other.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, did some testing and found that some of the init.d scripts were eating battery therefore have posted an update in the OP removing these and battery consumption should be better after flashing this update.

Sure, you can install on any firmware, but if you have wifi issues then you may need to flash modem or some other workaround. Just wipe data/factory reset and install version 04 followed by update 02. I am not sure on what you mean by memory but presume that you are referring to internal sd card. This will depend on what apps/features you install from the addon package and playstore. The ROM will not affect your internal sdcard space as it will be installed on the reserved system space.
Problem with Rom Super Wizcyan - S5 Style
Hello, first sorry by my english, its sucks, but ill try to explain my problem, i install the rom wizcyan - s5 style in my I9295 (of course), and follow all the instruction, like de developer says, starts normaly, but for example, when i push the screen mirroring button, the phone freeze an restart, and occasionally shows a message like "android core process stoped". do all the wipes, and install the 6.0.5 rom manager, all the proces finish ok, install the update, and occurs the same problem, i like this rom its cool , faster and light, without all the samsung crap, someone can help me please, thanks in advance.

In case you want to use screen mirroring then you would need to install allshare from the addon package
I've been tinkering with trying to get WizCyan totally working on my device for a couple of days, but I can't for the life of me get Wifi working (at first it was root access, but that was fixed by upgrading CWM). Here is the exact process I've followed:
Updated CWM to 6.0.5 (PhilZ's version)
Did a factory reset from recovery (I didn't use the "Clean to install new ROM" function)
Installed WizCyan version 4, followed by update 2
Rebooted, attempted to configure WiFi -- failed.
Flashed the NE5 modem package from the links in the dev thread, using Odin 3.07 -- twice each, as instructed
Still can't get my Wifi to enable. The flash was successful, as I can see the correct baseband on the "about" screen, but it refuses to enable. I'm in Australia, but I believe this phone came from UAE -- would that make a difference to the way the modem interacts with the Wifi hardware? I pulled this info from logcat:
Code:
I/WifiManager( 1084): setWifiEnabled : true
I/WifiService( 882): setWifiEnabled: true pid=1084, uid=10008
E/WifiHW ( 882): ##################### set firmware type 0 #####################
E/WifiHW ( 882): Cannot open "/data/.cid.info": No such file or directory
E/WifiHW ( 882): ==========[WIFI] Station firmware load ===========
E/WifiHW ( 882): return of insmod : ret = -1, Exec format error
E/WifiStateMachine( 882): Failed to load driver
E/WifiStateMachine( 882): sendErrorBroadcast code:10
E/WifiController( 882): Wi-Fi driver is unstable. Received CMD_STATEMACHINE_RESET
In the mean time, I'm going to try to source either a local radio, or one from the original region, to see if that helps.

Can't get anything much from the logcat, it refers to a file that gets created on 1st boot you can try doing a factory reset from settings--> backup & restore--> factory data reset. Only backup your internal sd card before doing this as it will wipe your entire phone including internal sdcard and then reflash the modem.

Well if I'm going to go that far, I may as well do it properly and completely restore the phone to stock and start again. When I bought it, the first thing I did was root, flash CWM and a CM based ROM -- it's probably worth starting fresh anyway, I'm only going to be using it for a couple more weeks until it's replacement arrives.
I'm currently downloading the latest firmware for my region (XSA), a 4.2.2 based MK3 build from the end of last year -- do you think I'd have better chances if I restored to a 4.4.2 build (like NE5), or should it not matter if I completely reset the phone to factory settings/software?

Generally doing a factory reset from the phone resets the entire firmware and is helpfull to resolve such issues. if you want to install the entire firmware, I would recommend flashing the 4.4.2 PHN firmware you can get the download link in post# 13. But then there were wifi issues after flashing the PHN firmware for which a factory reset from the phone happened to be the solution.

Thanks for that mention of the firmware, I had the radio from that link but forgot you'd also linked the full package. Google Drive is much faster than the websites I'd been trying to get files from, it took 15 hours to download the XSA firmware I was originally going to use.
You were totally correct, resetting the phone was the solution. I got the PHN firmware, flashed it via ODIN only to find it still hadn't fixed the WiFi problem -- even after a factory reset -- however the process of flash/reset/re-flash fixed it for me -- it seems unnecessary to me, but I guess times have changed since I last tinkered with unlocked devices. I'm happy to say that I now have WiFi working under WizCyan now, just wanted to check back in just in case anybody else was facing similar issues. As painful as it is to have to back up and totally restore, sometimes starting completely fresh is the best solution.
Now I'm off to rebuild my SD Card, lol.

Glad to know that you managed to get the wifi working.
Personally, I did not face the wifi issue after flashing PHN firmware, but know that quite a few have faced this issue as reported in this thread
Normally my understanding and experience is that when you flash different modems / firmware some corruption occurs and factory reset from within the phone resets the partition & firmware. 1st time I experienced this was when I was using a MTK 6575 based device and had amended the EBR, MBR and scatter files to modify the partition sizes, even though these were flashed through mobiuncle tools (similar to odin), the revised partitions did not get changed until I did a factory reset from within the phone. I know that this is irrelevant here but thought that I would share this.

The almight TomTom problem, SOLVED and on latest FW for MTCD

I have an MTCD Joying head unit, and i've struggled from day 1 to get TT Go working on it.
I have a paid subscription and it is my preferred GPS software, so I was determined to get it working.
I tried many different ROMs but they were either buggy or unstable or just didn't let me install tomtom, or I could get a solid stable ROM but couldn't install Xposed etc.
As you probably might know, the problem usually lies with the huge serial number that these Chinese units have.
Anyway, without further ado, I will detail the process I used to make it all work properly using the latest stock firmware and some Xposed hacks.
I've ended up with a nice stable system, it's fast, it boots up in 14 seconds and I don't have any issues with bluetooth or laggyness or TT saying it can't connect etc.
Please make sure you use the EXACT versions that I used otherwise it might not work ( I had to try many permutations of different software to get this far ) .
I'm working from the latest Joying ROM dated 27th September please note it's an MTCD image, do NOT flash this if you have MTCB./MTCC.
So install the latest ROM dated 27th September, you can find it in post number 416 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...-factory-firmware-rk3188-mtcd-t3366561/page42
Once installed you need to root the image.
Go into factory settings, and put in the code *#hct#root# you should get back the message "ADB ROOT"
Once ADB rooted, install KingoRoot
Once rooted, go and install SuperSU from the play store but don't run it. Just install.
After that, download and run SuperSu-Me v6.7 and let it run and reboot.
After reboot, run super su and let it update the binary
After that, download Flashfire app from play store
Press the + button in flashfire and choose ZIP option and flash xposed-v86-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-dsa-20160715.zip
Unit restarts
after restart, install xposed installer
after installing xposed installer, find and download mtcservice-2.28.apk
open mtcservice and select advanced options > serial number
set a 12 digit serial number of your own choosing
open xposed, choose modules , tick the checkbox for mtcservice
reboot
install TT go from APK
bingo. Job done.
I'm sorry I can't actually post links to xda-developers yet but I can make a .zip file and upload it with all the files required in it if anyone needs it but someone else will have to link to it for me.
Cheers best of luck.
Cool! Will try. Please make a zip with all files if you can.
https://mega.nz/#!oB4FTZyJ!91wAORXxNh8Ukg8kwI_MJLXhhy0eCBWMNkBuQhv8DhQ
link has everything EXCEPT for:
kingoroot (all the online storage places say it has a virus in it .. I got it from https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/kingoroot-download.htm .. download at your own risk.
tomtom apk , again google for the APK i'm using the latest one tomtom GPS navigation traffic 1.12 since i have a subscription, and it's a fremium app anyway i think it's fair for me to download the APK
also would like to point out that the dmcu.zip and dupdated.zip is the stock firmware and ROM for a Joying MTCD unit.
do not flash these if you don't know what you are doing or don't have an MTCD unit and dont flash dmcu.zip unless you also have a joying unit..
good luck let me know how it goes for you.
Wow finally a solution! I tried almost everything. This finally worked. Thanks for the great step by step guide!!!
Hi Lordxenu,
I have an Erisin ES3015V and want to install Tomtom, because like you, I ever loved it.
However, my unit is an Android 5.1.1 with 1024x600, and think Tomtom is not able to install into units with a display larger than 800x600. Is yours 1024x600 one or not? This is important for me, because I've tried to install from Play Store but it refuses to do so, and I don't exactly why: 1024x600? Serial number as you stated?
Before getting mad trying to install, I want to have things as clear as possible.
Regards!!!
Hi
Yes my unit is a 1024x600.
I could not install from play store either. Either due to serial number or due to it not recognising what device you have.
But installing via my guide above works. Mine is also 5.1.1
Hi,
thanks a lot for your description.
I think this would be a solution for my 4046GD.
I have

Will this also work on this device?
Hi Dobhi
Yes. It should work. Your unit is MTCD and 5.1.1
You can probably try it on your existing image without having to flash a new one as long as its stable and fast.
Otherwise flash the provided image (assuming your units screen is in 1024x600 if not find the same image for your resolution
Let me know how it goes for you.
Hey Lordxenu,
thanks for the fast reply.
I have to say that i'm a complete noob depending on android devices...
Yes the resolution is 1024x600.
But I still have some questions...
I downloaded you zip and i think the "dupdate.img" is the image file to install, am i correct?
I found a little how to doc from Malaysk image and i think will getting it done.
you wrote:
-Once installed you need to root the image.
-Go into factory settings, and put in the code *#hct#root# you should get back the message "ADB ROOT"
--> Will there be a terminal or something like this, in the factory settings of the new image??
-Once ADB rooted, install KingoRoot
-Once rooted, go and install SuperSU from the play store but don't run it. Just install.
-After that, download and run SuperSu-Me v6.7 and let it run and reboot.
-After reboot, run super su and let it update the binary
-After that, download Flashfire app from play store
--> All fine here
-Press the + button in flashfire and choose ZIP option and flash xposed-v86-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-dsa-20160715.zip
-->Where can i find this zip? ---> Update: got it meanwhile.
-Unit restarts
-after restart, install xposed installer
--> New: Will this Installer be the by the exposed.zip?
-after installing xposed installer, find and download mtcservice-2.28.apk
--> Where i can find this...i googled it but sadly there where no clear hits
Update: I found the mtcservice-2.36D.apk, but as you said...its not the same as you mentioned.
-open mtcservice and select advanced options > serial number
-set a 12 digit serial number of your own choosing
-open xposed, choose modules , tick the checkbox for mtcservice
-reboot
-install TT go from APK
thanks for your help!!
I'm a little nervous about this...I will not kill my new toy

Hi
Will try to answer your question.
Yes. dupdated.img is the actual android image to flash. Do NOT flash the dmcu.img because you do not have a Joying branded unit. So ONLY flash dupdated.img
-> Will there be a terminal or something like this, in the factory settings of the new image??
No. There's no terminal to use (if you really want you could install one) but doing the ADB root is done via the "factory" app.
When you start the factory app it asks you for a PIN code. This is where you type in *#hct#root# and press OK. No terminal needed.
>Where can i find this zip?
It's in the ZIP file I provided.
--> Where i can find this...i googled it but sadly there where no clear hits
Again, it's in the ZIP.
As long as your unit really is MTCD then you can't really brick it using my instructions.
If at the worst you somehow totally screwed the unit, you would just flash it again using the same or another image.
Usually you can also just choose the "wipe /data" option in the recovery menu and you will be back to having a fresh image installed etc.
There are lots of guides / tips etc on how to flash these units on the XDA developers forum so you can just have a read but to be honest, you don't need to know anything about it before you do it. I didn't
Hey Lordnexu,
i think there was a little hickup at the zip download.
i downloaded it again...now i have all files!
I will do this update tomorrow and keep you informed!
Thanks for your support!

Sadly there is a problem with super-sume... it stucks in "Stage 6 cleanup"
I wait almost 30 minutes but sadly nothing happens...
do you have any ideas?
Breaking News.
I have no idea how...
but it works.
I simply skip the Super-Sume Cleaning, and do all the rest...
Now my TT is running perfectly, with one little issue....the navigation voice is very silent an i don't get it louder.
Again...Thanks for your support!
Or you could just run Malaysk's 5.1.1 for MTCD and make it easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...lopment/rom-malaysk-roms-mtcd-device-t3385309
Not sure why supersume stuck. It did take a while on mine and appear to freeze but eventually continued.
Did you do it on your stock ROM or on the ROM from my zip ? But I'm happy it now worked for you.
And yeah .. the Malaysk ROM ... well as I said in the original post... these ROMs were super buggy for me. Things like bluetooth not working properly, freezing up, slow, boot loops when enabling modules in Xposed... so I gave up after trying 5 different Malaysk ROMs.
If you look in the ROM threads for MTCD literally everyone says the stock ROMs are faster. If Malaysk ROM works for you then great, it didn't for me.
>If you look in the ROM threads for MTCD literally everyone says the stock ROMs are faster. If Malaysk ROM works for you then great, it didn't for me.
There was a rough patch there when Xposed was first being ported to 5.1.1, but it is all working now, and there are in fact several people making their own builds for MTCD 5.1.1 ROMs now which are fast and stable and much more streamlined than any stock roms now.
We have even developed a tool that you can use to build your OWN rom and chose what options you want in it for MTCD.
You might want to check them out again.
Ok, I made all installation step by step but TT GO still get no connection. I use an 1024x600 MTCD headunit with the small da_anton beta3 rom (already rooted) and all is looking fine, even the 12 digit serial number.
I tried some different GO versions but everytime I get the "can't establish connection" message back. Any ideas ? What apk have been used ?
The id changing did not work for me.
Only xprivacy, a xposed framework modul, did it..
At start of tomtom some pop ups appears.
Allow all, block only identity.
Good luck.
Getapped and getalked with 6603
ok, thanks, will try this later.
I also tried the Xposed ID changer were you "could" change the serial, but no luck at all.

Android 7.0 Call Problem

Hi
I have installed many of the Android 7.0 ROMS for Shamu and all of them have this annoying problem:
When I dial out I cannot hear the ring or the other person.
When I receive a call I don't often hear the other person but they may hear me.
Yes I've installed the N6 boot loader and radio and do not load any other mods, custom kernels.
I just can't figure this out. Any ideas? Is there a Android 7.0 firmware that I need to install to prepare my Shamu for Android 7?
Thanks
Aussie
I had this same problem, I had to re flash stock 7.0 and the problem was gone. No idea what caused it

Flashing stock does not relock the bootloader.
Didn't work
Ok I flashed stock 7.0 using Wugfresh's tool.
But still when I use the phone I can't hear who is on the other end.
Really odd!
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Aussie
I'm having the same issue on a stock Nougat phone as well. The problem appeared a few days ago out of the blue. The only band aid fix I've found is the sound about app and force assigned the mic and earpiece functions.
Sadly, this doesn't address the main issue in the first place.
none
Why are you using Wugfresh? Plug the phone in the computer and when it communicates with the phone tap the menu bar that says it's charging, when you open that tick allow files/folders, the second option. Then put your files on the root of internal storage, wipe the entire system then flash your rom, you don't need Wugfresh.
If you lose your data who cares, just set the phone up again and you should be good to go, this is much more dependable as I use to use Wugfresh, you do know how to get into recovery and install that way? You will want to do a full wipe, then flash

I didn't realize there was a thread on this already.
I'm using Pure Nexus and the other end would go silent for about 5 seconds and then come back...so that's a bit different than what you guys are experiencing.

have you tried reflashing your radio? Maybe try flashing a MM radio as well
Just wanted to chime in, I think this is actually more of a VoLTE/HD issue. It happens to my N6 that's still on MM. Sometimes the dialtone/ring is there, other times it's not. Would love to know of there's a fix!
Found a fix..
Hello all.
I found a fix to Shamu+Nougat ROM problem when I am called I do not hear the other person and vice versa.
To install Factory Nougat from Google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
FIRST backup your phone (contacts, files, pics, movies etc) as this will totally erase EVERYTHING!
When you are on the Factory Images for Nexus Devices page click "backed up to your Google Account" then go click 'back' on your browser and click on 'Acknowledge' to see the list of Factory Nougat ROMS for Shamu come up on the right.
Download the Android 7.0 Factory ROM for Shamu/Nexus 6.
Do not flash this stock ROM using Wugfresh's tool. Instead follow precisely the 'Flashing Instructions' on the page https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. Allow the phone to reboot and fully set up. Restart the phone again.
Then use Wugfresh to Root the phone and also to install custom recovery (I already have unlocked bootloader).
Now, nothing against Wugfresh Tool (I do not know why the flashing method above works better) as Wugfresh has saved my phone many times.. Its just that Googles recommended flashing instructions worked best.
Now I use the phone and not only do I hear the caller and they hear me I have much better reception (Australia). Yes I did previously flash latest radio but the above method seemed to improve my Shamu 100%.
What I have not done yet is flash a custom ROM in case the problem re-appears. But my phone is rooted and unlocked so I can install other mods that work with Nougat.
Hope this works for you.
Cheers
Aussie
Another Fix Part 2
Hi
I stumbled on another method that has seemed to work:
Ensure you have unlocked bootloader.
Flash Tupacs Android 6.0 MOB31H ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-rooted-deoxeded-fast-stable-t3252922
(*Note I used his MOB31E Android 6.0 ROM so I am presuming current MOB31H will work).
Credit to this ROM goes to tupac4u as I am not a Developer.
I then flashed SuperUser but did not flash a custom kernel.
Setup the ROM as usual.
Selected Settings - About Phone - System updates and let the phone install the Android 7 OTA update. Be aware its a 878Mb download.
Let the update download and fully install. I had TWRP recovery and the update still installed fine.
After installation fully completed I enabled Developer Options and USB Debugging.
Then using WugFresh's excellent tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452 I applied Root and Custom Recovery.
I also flashed Radio 5.39R which I found works best.
Now my phone works very well and (for now) now I can hear the caller and they can hear me.
Cheers
Aussie

Fantastic! Finally we've got a rom of our very own, for which you've got my immense thanks. I'm very much looking forward to trying it out.
Unfortunately when I flashed it there was a loooong wait on the Samsung logo, and then... Well, after an hour I booted back to recovery to start over.
I honestly don't think your rom was the problem though, because from some point last night everything I tried - custom rom flashing and nandroid backup restores - wound up the same way. Odin + stock + root got a usable system at least, and today's been too busy to try again. But when I do I'll post back about how it goes.
(Sadly, I can't go back in time to see what order I did things and look for a pattern if this happens again. In case it might be useful to anyone, I know for sure I'd gotten stock set up comfortably and made a complete backup before giving thunderoar's T113 kernel a whirl, and that went swimmingly. Even had mounts2sd properly recognizing external sd set up after a long struggle, though not actually enabled yet. Don't know what else i did between making that backup and trying to flash this, but it's likely I just screwed something up somehow.)

When you install a rom, especially a TW one, in most case you need a specific Bootloader to cause it to start and work smoothly.
Wikipedia:
A boot loader is a computer program that loads an operating system or some other system software for the computer after completion of the power-on self-tests; it is the loader for the operating system itself. Within the hard reboot process, it runs after completion of the self-tests, then loads and runs the software. A boot loader is loaded into main memory from persistent memory, such as a hard disk drive or, in some older computers, from a medium such as punched cards, punched tape, or magnetic tape. The boot loader then loads and executes the processes that finalize the boot. Like POST processes, the boot loader code comes from a "hard-wired" and persistent location; if that location is too limited for some reason, that primary boot loader calls a second-stage boot loader or a secondary program loader.
The bootloader runs your rom with specific instructions, if the rom does not support an older bootloader simply does not boot. My rom does not support the older bootloader. A zip flash in this case cannot upgrade a delicate part like the bootloader. You need to flash the newer one with Odin.

The latest update for your country is PA5. Try with THIS.
Your country code is XAC.
The CSC (Sale Country Code) Is that part of the firmware that contains all the telephone operator customizations (e.g. WAP, MMS) for the intended country. As far as i know, It is not important for us.

Life has gotten in the way of playing around with this, but thought I'd send you an update as I said I would...
Your rom is running really nicely on my tablet as I use it daily. It's smooth and small, with no unexpected reboots or fc's on installed apps. Didn't wipe internal SD but it hasn't given me any issues with existing data (probably because there wasn't much to start with).
One thing that has caused a problem is calendar sync. It looks like you've taken out the actual syncing service, so when I try to access my calendars through any app I'm asked to add a new Google account, even though everything's already set up in "Accounts" under Settings. I haven't tried running the "calendars.providers.apk" from my other phone, that should fix the problem - but I don't want to use the wrong version and break something!
Also, I've confirmed that the only time I got mounts2sd working, it was with thunderoar's kernel. So guess that's going to have to wait.
A few adjustments I made to the setup were to uninstall all "unnecessary" system apps (not needed to run the device), and re-install them from the store. This way I've got 676mb free on /system and still over 1.5GB free on internal storage.
I've also added a multi-reboot menu to make getting into recovery or download mode simpler, and this is loading more quickly on your rom than stock. I've also had to modify permissions.xml to allow apps to access external storage by default, and made another tweak to disable the "loud volume warning" (don't remember quite what it was offhand).
Would you consider adding these to a future version?
Again, thanks SO much for putting this together, answering questions, and doing your thing. It's greatly appreciated!

The calendar sync issue should be fixed in the next update.
Anyway, If I have enough time, the next update should contain a lot of new features. Your suggestions are already planned :good:

When you install a rom, especially a TW one, in most case you need a specific Bootloader to cause it to start and work smoothly.
....
The bootloader runs your rom with specific instructions, if the rom does not support an older bootloader simply does not boot. My rom does not support the older bootloader. A zip flash in this case cannot upgrade a delicate part like the bootloader. You need to flash the newer one with Odin.

One more question about this: The way you've worded the second paragraph seems to imply only that older bootloaders don't work with newer roms, so are newer bootloaders backwards compatible? Say I've got the PH5 bootloader installed and I want to restore a backup of the previous firmware, do I have to flash that firmware first?
Sorry if it seems obvious, this is how we learn!

Absolutely it isn't obvious, don't worry . The Bootloader, for my personal experience, are backwards compatible. I don't have a scientific knowledge about this, but for what I did with other device it can work. Just try :fingers-crossed:, don't forget a full backup.

Here is a fix for calendar sync.

T113/T113nu and T116/T116ny have a similar codename and hardware (The recovery have goyave codename, therefore any rom with goyave codename can be flashed). For the hotspot, maybe some missing libraries, a different driver or a different kernel makes hotspot broken. Try to restore your kernel from a previous backup.

Looking to flash OK Pie on P9 Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys, like the title says. I'd like to flash OK Pie onto my old but still working P9 but after so, so much time i have forgotten everything I did to my phone to get to where I currently am. I've been searching for specifics to my situation but the guide to go from EMUI 8 to OK Pie is complicated enough as it is. If I have to factor in the "back to stock" procedure etc I think my brain would explode xD
So I'm looking for any links, guides, personal help or WHATEVER may help me at least get to chinese OREO 9I think I'm capable of taking it from there)
My current setup:
EVA-L09
Build number: EVA-L09C432B378
EMUI version: 5.0
Android: 7.0
My phone is from Latin America, So IIRC I unbranded it, changed it to cust 432 and flashed the latest (stock) firmware which at the time was B378.
I also have TWRP (the latest one) installed. If I got it right, I THINK I need to go back to stock recovery, flash the latest FW and go to Chinese OREO from there before trying to flash OK Pie, right?
Could somebody please be so kind as to either help me or at least point me to a thread/guide made for idiots such as myself xD that can walk me through the steps of going from my FW to stock recovery and stock latest FW?
I'll manage to get to oreo and custom after that.
I appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that yes. I kept my unlock code so thats no problem
Thanks again!

P9 thread for OK ROMs (under the P9 ROMs, Kernels... collection)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/roms-openkirin-aosp-collection-t3828806
In short:
1) You must rebrand and update your L09c432 Nougat to AL10c00 Oreo, it is PRECISELY explained in the OP posts (mainly the post #2, but read #1 - #5 to get better picture) in the corresponding thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
2) Once you will be on EVA-AL10c00b540 Oreo, you have to follow the OK installation guide from the first link.
You will have to install OK Omni Pie for Android 8, not for Android 9 (there is no stock Pie for P9)
If you search for Pie in the given two XDA threads (Search box at top- right on any XDA page), you will find that many people have undergone (and some returned back from OK Pie to stock Oreo) with no problems - but it is important to carefully follow the guides, first for rebranding and installing the Chinese stock Oreo, then to install OK ROM EXACTLY as described on their site (common guide for all OK ROMs and for all Huawei phones when already updated to the stock Oreo)

Hi, thanks for replying. I'm aware of the PROCEDURE not so sure about the "how to".
Thats why I posted. Your post basically told me what I already knew (and talked about in my post)
What I'm looking for is help going from my current TWRP/STOCK/ROOTED FW. Back to full stock so I can start updating the ORIGINAL FW. I can't find any info on how to go back to stock recovery for instance. Do I need a specific recovery for the FW I'm running? Is it generic? Where do I find it? How do I flash it? Where do I get the stock firmware? (Huawei firmaware finder?) Which one do I flash? Does flashing the stock firmware automatically flashes the stock recovery? Things like that. I appreciate you trying to help but I already read and knew the things you linked to. My issue is, like I said: going back to stock before I can follow any guide to go up to oreo.
Thanks anyway!

If rooted by Magisk, there is Uninstall option in Magisk Manager, it will unroot.
Similarly SuperSU had an Unroot/Unistall option.
In both cases you can flaslh back the stock Boot partition but it is cleaner to unroot by using their Uninstall options.
From TWRP or Fastboot you have to flash stock Recovery (corresponding to your current stock Nougat firmware) to revert back from TWRP
Generally, if you download from FirmwareFinder update.zip corresponding to your current stock Nougat (must be from FullOTA-MF or FullOTA-MF-PV), unzip, then by using Huawei Update Extractor, you can extract Boot.img and Recovery.img that you can flash then from Fastboot or from TWRP to go back to stock Boot and to stock Recovery
Once you go back to stock Boot and Recovery, you can boot to eRecovery (switch off, connect to charger, keep pressing Vol+ and boot by Pow) and choose Download latest firmware and recovery
----
But in fact, since you already have TWRP, use the HWOTA method from this post to update to c432b504 or b505:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787151&postcount=2
You can do the same with HWOTA7 from the corresponding thread I gave you (before you will go to rebrand to AL10c00b399).
In both cases, you have to download three update*.zip files for eg L09c432b504 (must be FullOTA-MF), rename one or two of them as described in the OP posts (be careful, some people have Windows 10 that hides zip extension and they wrongly rename files to have double zip extension and then HWOTA/HWOTA7 scripts cannot find the file and fail to flash resulting with half-brick), put them to DLOAD file on the SD card and follow the guides

Thank you. Thats exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciateyour help.
Btw, no one should have the "hide extensions for known file types" checkbox marked...
Edit: Should I flash the same FW version Im currently using and then update regularly? To prevent any issues? (Cause i noticed there are some rules as to the version jumps that can be made flashing like this...

It must be the same model and cust, c432, but safer if you also apply the same build number (b387 ?)
Once you are back on stock you should start receiving OTA updates (have WiFi and a valid SIM card). Give it some time but check also manually from Settings / System updates.
As mentioned in my previous post, you can also use eRecovery / Install latest fw and recovery (if OTA coming slow), and there is a similar option in HiSuite. You will probably not need to use HWOTA or HWOTA7 to jump from clean stock b386 up to b50x

Hi again. First of all I would like to thank you agaib for your help. You made the process so much sinpler and quixk for me and I do apprexiate it.
Second, I updated to the latest "original" fw for my c432 phone OTA but then had to modify the HWOTA7 procesa so I could dl and install the latest/latest fw (because it wouldnt even register when searching for it) I used huawei fw finder to verify it and dl.
After that I went to chinese Oreo, flashed the network fixes and installed a TINY OTA update which fixed some sexurity issues apparently (thankfully it went Ok cause I THINK flashing OTA in a "converted" phone is a big nono?)
Anyways, I ended up on omni pie (the latest beta whixh is 5.2 I believe) as going AOSP was the whole point of this endeavor.
So far I'm LOVING it. Its such a refreshing thing not having to deal with all the bs OEMs bake into their roms... But Im experiencing a couple of issues as well. Not sure if its the rom, my phone or the android version (particularly my issue with battery life since I was having issues with the duration way before I updates, actually that was one of my motivations for updating since I read that pie had better battery management)
Anyway, my issues are as follow. Hope you can help (once again)
Battery life SUCKS (like really, it went from bad to terrible... Not sure if stock oreo would make it better, or perhaps omni pie needs some optimizations?)
The camera (huawei one, not sure about the aosp) has issues. Multiple issues. The biggest one being that if I try to go from back to front camera the app locks in a black screen and I have to go into the app, delete data, reboot the phone and relaunch it (and that doesnt fix it everytime)
The last issue is with pop messages from apps and/or settings. Sometimes, when installing and app and/or changing aome setting a white popup shows up with ONLY an OK option. I cant read anything on the popup. Everything is white. Not sure if its an issue with the theme (I changed from default to "hell" or something like that) but it is VERY annoying not knowing what youre agreeing to.
Last but not least I have a question about the stock rexovery, factory reset and flashing new versions of omni (if and wheb they come out)
In one of the steps for flashing omni the guide asks to perfomr a factory reset from the stock rom. Thing is, it doesnt work. I mean, when I confirm the factory reset the process starts and approximately at 15% an exclamation sign appears and the process percentage stops working. I can reboot the system and everything works fine (using the phone to post this actually) but Im left with that feeling of not knowing why something failed... You know what I mean? Is that nornal?(the failure to factory reset, not the feeling ) also, does factory wiping the phone removes root access? Or does it only renove magisk manager?
Also, if I ever wabt to update the rom (not change it mind you, but flash the next beta or stable or whatever they come up with) do I need to flash the stock recovery again? (Currently rooted with magisk) or is it a separate partition? (Sinxe I had to modify the ramdisk and not flash a custom recovery) also, will I need to do the whoooole thing again? (Backup everything, restore tk factory etc etc) or is it just like with lineage for exanple where you could flash and updatr and keep your data untouched?
Thanks for EVERYTHING my friend. And I hope you can answer my questions (particularly the ones about battery life and thebfactory reset issue since Im planning on doing one last factory reset before settling with the rom. Just waiting for my new micro sd. The one that will stay in the phone)
Sorry for the typos. Writing this huge post on a phone is a PITA.

This small OTA bringing Patch02 over b540 installs even over TWRP (but that was not the case for OTA from eg b535 to b540)
Cannot discuss/compare battery for Omni Pie, since not using Omni
Problem with Camera app does not show on stock Oreo. Even if the app was somehow ported from Huawei, there are maybe problems with integration to Omni.
Various Huawei/Mate models come with different cameras, but there is only one OK Omni ROM (with one Camera app) given to work on all Huawei/Mate models
Btw, somebody else also complained about issues with Camera (and GPS) and decided to go back to stock Oreo.
Similarly, issues you described about black notifications or so must be related to the custom ROM, theme or so.
As a general rule:
- for installing OK ROM, you flash System partition, and nothing else
- you also wipe Data partitiom (containing all your installed apps, incl Magisk Manager, also containing your user settings)
It does not affect any other partition.
Therefore, changes given by NW patch persist - without, you will have (also in that OK ROMs) problems with SIM card(s) and connecting to the network
Also, Magisk, which was flashed to Ramdisk, persists. You must only install Magisk Manager again, because it is user apo, installed to Data partition that was wiped
You must check on the OK side how they advice installing the updates of OK ROMs
(It is questionable if they will get updates any more, since OK team switched to development of ROMs which install over the stock Pie, whereas on P9 you have no stock Pie - only Oreo, and most likely, we will never see stock Pie for P9.
Just check when OK team released last ROM for stock Oreo, and compare with their releases of OK ROMs for stock Pie:
https://openkirin.net/download/
Hence IMO, for updating the OK ROM (if/when it comes), you will again just need to flash its System and to wipe Data (and then to reinstall user apps like Magisk Manager).
Hopefully, you can backup and restore some apps and settings by Titanium.
Whether you don't need to wipe Data for such update - check from the OK support.
On the Open Kirin site you will find Support pages (Faq, HowTo) and also a link to the live Telegram channel
