Upgrading head unit from KitKat 4.4.4 to Lollipop 5.1.1 - Android Head-Units

I've currently got an Eonon GA5153F head unit in my car. It came with Android 4.4.4 KitKat installed. It's the stock ROM, despite resetting it a few times. Looking to try and upgrade it to 5.1.1 or newer if possible. Has anyone had any luck doing so?
The ROM that I'm looking to install is from: huifei (dot) fs-fileserver (dot) de
(Can't post links as I'm less than 10 posts in to xda-devs )
Specs:
Rockchip RK3188 Quad-core
800 x 480 px screen
1GB RAM
Let me know if you've managed it, else I'll just report back when I brick it eventually probably...

Question re XTRONS PF82MTVA flashing. Is an RK3188 or an RK3066 Unit?

It is:
Full AOSP On MStar Cedric3
CPU Cortex-A9 dual core

MCU Version 4.3.10.1-1-10-610101
System version 2.9.5_20150413

Decoding the MCU version gives me:

Any luck IM LOOKING FOR THE SAME? Where did you get your 4.4.4 update from, CHEERS
Folks, I have seen a couple of requests for more info re my Xtrons unit recently.
Sorry for this late reply but I am travelling in my van and at the moment have done almost 10, 000km in the past 4 weeks. Presently on the very west coast of WA.
Sorry, but I simply can't recall where I got the upgrade - though I can say it worked fine though when Xtrons folk tried to help with an unrelated issue the solution involved reinstalling the original Android version. Sorry. I will TRY to find where I got it when I'm home again.
I must tell you though that I had months of trouble with the unit leading up to the reinstalling of the original O/S. THAT did not solve the problem. In the end, when I had to put a new battery in the car and do some underbonnet work the battery was out for 2 days. When I put it back in the head unit worked fine!
In the subsequent 6 weeks there has been one "no boot" instance.
Through the months if issues, no variation of resetting changed things. Installing the original code didn't work. It was only totally powering down the unit that worked.
FWIW and for ?reference.

Help rooting head unit

Hi all,
I have an Android head unit in my car running 6.0.1 Marshmallow, it's an Xtrons TCD629A.
About device returns:
Processor type - QuadCore-R16
Android version - 6.0.1
MCU version - 5.3.19-36-10-E50201-170215
System version - V7.3.1_20170505.204845_MLT1-DVD
DVD version - 2.13.15-1200xh-150417
Searching online it is very hard to find much information on this unit (I should have got an RK3188 based unit as there's a world of information about them).
So far I have tried: KingRoot, KingoRoot and One Click Root. None of which have provided root access after multiple attempts.
KingoRoot offers the most interesting result, it gets to 90% and pauses for a few minutes, then the screen flickers a bit and the unit restarts so it is obviously attempting something that doesn't agree with the unit, but at the same time isn't causing it any harm.
Does anybody have any advice which may help with rooting this device, or alternatively a pre-rooted restore image. In the case of flashing a pre-rooted image to the device, I am happy with anything from KitKat to Marshmallow.
Thank you in advance.
Xtrons TCD698A - have the same problem ?
Received TCD629A with no power harness, I don't mean to hijack this thread but are there another power harness that is compatible with this unit?

Would it work for a Xtrons TS702L at all?

Mekede Head unit

Hi guys, i've purchased the android unit with this firmware (below in the photo) but how i recognize the exact update for my head unit?
Hi mate, after a deep research i found that this device is the same as "Ownice c500". The firmware for this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-units/ownice-c500-firmware-updates-t3560984 . My "Mekede" comes with Android 8.0, so i`m not update yet /didn`t find firmware for 8.1/. So to be sure you have to ask for compatible in link thread, just to be 100% you won`t brick your device.
Download an Android version checker.
I just installed my mekede unit which is supposed to be android 8.1. On checking I find it's actually android 6.0
The seller on aliexpress is not answering my messages and I'm beyond the buyer protection time limit.
