I purchased a head unit from Amazon from the make AmaseAudio, based on Opel/Vauxhall and with Android 10.
I'm looking to root but I'm a little confused on where to start, here's the basic details:
Model PX30
Android Version 10 (API level does show as 29 in CPUZ)
Build Number rk3326_mid-userdebug 10 .........
MCU MTCE_HT_V3.30_1
From what I gathered there is 2 custom roms for PX30 but they seem to be for Android 9, though my unit does seem to be running the real Android 10 so I'm not sure if it's possible to install either of those 2 ROMs or would it create issues with it downgrading or what would I actually lose by going down? I'd even be happy without a custom ROM but still have root access to disable a few services to speed it up but again I don't know where I'd begin.
Another question is I'm unable to find anything about the stock rom so no kind of backup in case of anything going wrong, is it possible to backup the stock ROM on the device?
I'm more puzzled since there's nothing regarding PX30 and Android 10 from what I can find.
some news?

Hello,
I have been trying to root my android head unit but had no luck. I am a massive newbie and not done this before, but the unit I recently bought (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P7G82TS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00) this unit and it just isnt very good. The few things I want to achieve by rooting are: improve boot speed (if possible), increase volume (I have installed Volume+ from the marketplace and it does nothing at all), set default applications.
I have tried: kingoroot which gets to 95% then just restarts and nothing happens, and I have tried Rootmaster 2.1 which just sits there and does nothing as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662.
MCU: MTCB-KLD-V2.30
Model: S07
Android Version: 4.4.4_23012015
Kernel: 3.0.36+
Is anyone able to help me out - point me in the direction of a programme how to root it?
Any help would be massive appreciated
Thank you

Have a good read at the first post on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662 and will clear most of your questions. For the root thin especifically, you need to flash a ROM that's already rooted since you're using Android 4.4. G owith Malaysk's ROM and make sure to download the version for your CPU which is RK3066.
You should be good to go after reading that but come back if you have more questions.
I am in the same boat.
I would like to root the current one, before flashing another rom, because I don't want to lose the current one, just in case.
If I flash it before, I will lose the current one, as I haven't seen out there.
Rootmaster doesn't work for me too.
Can anyone help.
If your stock ROM is 4.4 there's no other known way. Just give Malaysk's ROM a try and you can alway flash the stock ROM back if you don't like it.
Malaysks rom has worked perfectly. thank you
Hello,
I need help to find out, how to update a chinese PX6- Based Android HU.
I have bought this: https://www.ebay.de/itm/BMW-E87-E82-10-25-Android-8-1-SixCore-Auto-GPS-Navigation-Radio-2-32G-iDrive/113662190612?hash=item1a76cb6414:g:NOoAAOSwFfJccWCv
But it says no where which manufacturer it is.
I have seen that all HUs are looking same, but have all different vendors.
Are they just like whitelabel products, and every HU is the same?
If i can update the HU, i would like to write a little tutorial in order to help the rest with these chinese HUs.
I have found a chinese site with a PX6 software version, but dont know if its compatible.

Thank you very much.
Most BMW Headunits are from GS, you find the code within the MCU version numbering.
It`s not possible to upgrade from a lower Android version to a newer one, if you have an 8.1 Unit you only can update internally to newer 8.1 Updates.
the chinese do not release source codes, if you want to have a unit with newer android, unforunatley you need to buy a new Unit (better with Snapdragon 625).

Oh thats an answer I don´t quite expected.
Are updates not possible even with other custom roms?
Can´t these custom roms simply add the BMW-Skins?
What would you suggest to do with this device?
They are quite expensive.

It`s more a question of what features do you miss at the moment, newer units also miss some features older units have.
There are two large Posts at the F30 forum, one primary for Android 7.1/8.1 and one for Android 9.0.
Note that Android 9 is available for PX6 and Snapdragon, anyways it`s not possible to upgrade a 8.1 Unit to 9.0 at the moment.

I found a page called xtrons
there are two links with update files:

I have the Avin AVANT 4 Multimedia Navigation System for BMW X5 E53 PX6 head unit that came preloaded with Android 9. I'm hoping to upgrade to Android 10 but their customer support agent said that's not possible. It has to be possible, right?
I spent some time trying to flash the PX6 Android 10 image from ibus-app.de, but to no avail. The device detects the update.zip on my USB drive and asks to install, but when it reboots and starts loading from recovery mode, it fails with a Status 7 error.
Does anyone know if I can update this with newer firmware? If not, can I flash a different OS on there? I imagine this is a noob question but I can't seem to find much about the AVIN Avant 4 head unit.
The unit can run 10 as it is listed on the site as such:
Please choose CPU platform
PX30 | 2GB RAM | 16GB ROM | 4-core CPU | Android 10 (LHD Only)
PX6 | 4GB RAM | 64GB ROM | 6-core CPU | Android 10 + $49.99

Pretty sure it is the same as my Avant4 for my e39 which came with Android 10 out of the box.

It is very easy. What you need is this app - Mod Installer PRO. Of course like with any other mod, you need to ensure your MCU is MTCD, MTCE or MTCP.
My unit came with 10. What does that mod Pro actually do? Install a generic Android 10?

It can run Android 10. Their Android 9/10 PX6 units are physically identical. I was told as much by customer "support," and updating is theoretically as easy as following their instructions/installing their upgrade files.
The problem is that AVIN is a pretty shady company and wants to sell you a new head unit rather than let you upgrade the OS. Even if was just days before they launch the new OS version, if you bought the Android 9 unit, you're stuck with Android 9 for no other reason than because... well... if you want their official build of Android 10 badly enough, they think you'll pay another $450+ for it. Ask me how I know.
Yikes.
I could have sworn my unit was running Android 10, but now I am not sure. As soon as I get the car back from the mechanic, I'll check. If it is, I have various MCU and software upgrade files I can share.

Oh sorry, thought you wanted to upgrade from previous version to 10. Essentially this app allows you to upgrade or downgrade your Android OS.
For example, I got it to downgrade my Dasaita PX30 unit from version 10 to 9 in order to install Malaysk mod.

That would be fantastic. I purchased my PX6 E46 Avin Avant 4 unit just before they released the Android 10 version, and they’ll only give me the files for Android 9. I’d be very interested and would greatly appreciate it!
Sorry to bump, but were you able to check on that Kjricker? Would be great to get on the factory instance of android 10.

I'll bump this one more time as well. Did you find out which version you have?

hello i just bought and installed a siecane radio.. i see there is a dislike here for there reselling of radios but it is already to late for me. but i have been seeing there is an updated version of zlink out but i cant find a way to update mine as it seems to be locked to the root files or something so i can not delete it to install the newest version. and the reason i want to update it is because it seems to be stuck in dark/night mode.
so far i have tried
1. android auto developer setting and change it to light/day mode in there, and phone controlled. (no change)
2. looked into rooting unit with magisk. but when i get it installed it has me patch and install but i dont know where the file is to patch.
3. so now im just looking to see if there is a newer mcu (i think thats how zlink in installed to my unit by default, im new to android) to see if it has a newer version of zlink preinstalled in the boot rom (if thats even the same thing as a mcu)
my radio about stats
model h2(1024x600)
android version 10
security patch level may 5 2020
build number rk3368-userdebug 10 qq2a.200305.004a1 eng.hct2.20200915.135247 test-keys
kernel version mtce_hf_v3.73_1 jan 22 2021 13:58:21
cpu octa-core cortex-a53 @ 1.5ghz
ram 4GBs
if i can get any help or pointed in the right direction that would be great. so far i have found yandex that has a bunch of differant mcu files and i belive my unit is a px5 and i know it is a mtce from kernal version but i dont see and hf on that sight for a px5 android 10 radio.
Hi Everyone.
I have an android 9 PX30 2gig head unit that i had put into my car.
I dont like the interface as i cant customise it for some reason. It looks really old and dated. Is there anything i can do to make it more customisable? Can i Upgrade the android version?
When i look at the settings under mcu upgrade it says MCU file not found but the MCU Version says:
MTCE_ZST_V3.38_1
CPU QUAD CORE [email protected]
BUILD NUMBER IS RK3326_MID-USERDEBUG 9PQ2A
KERNEL VERSION 4.4.167
System upgrade does nothing when i press it.
I do not want to brick the system at all and admittedly i dont know much about these things but i would like to be able to make the interface look better and or upgrade to Android 10. Is this possible? and if so can someone point me in the right direction?
