Hi all, really i am happy to join this forum and i got a lot of information here and was useful for me.
i bought a android head unit for my car and i bought it from here
www .
aliexpress.com/item/Android-4-4-Car-Player-2-Din-Radio-Cortex-A9-2Ghz-Quad-Core-CPU-4-Core/32604510801.html
i installed it already but i faced some problems and i want to ask about firmware plz :
1-first problem was launcher stopped working ... i tried to clear cache and delete data every thing i found online to solve it but sorry to say that it only solve it for some time maybe 2 days max. or less 1 day . i noticed that it stopped like that when the total size of the launcher is 840 KB approximately. i tried to install another launcher and it is working good but i need the original one i like it , so there is any way to fix this ?!
2-i installed the rear camera ccd but i didn't connect the trigger of the ccd cable to the reverse brake then i fixed my dash again without testing because every time i was installing another units to my family cars it was working gr8 but i was having icon called AVIN so i sent the seller he told me that u don't need any icon or program to work ur rear camera so i think i have to install the rear trigger to the reverse wire in the unit right ?! or can i install another program to work the rear camera as that AVIN , i searched a lot for programs but i didn't find any thing so plz can u help me about that. also i tried to test the rear camera i connected it to the battery directly but also it didn't work only the led around the camera flashed but no picture on the unit.
3- how can i know model of my firmware ( i know it is 4.4.4 ) but if i want to upgrade it and from where i can download other firmware for my unit like 5.1 ? and if i did that all programs installed by the seller like steering options and player with Eq will be the same or will be according to the new firmware . if they will be removed how can i backup those options to be installed on the new firmware. finally do u think i have to upgrade it although my only problmes those i mentioned previous ( 1& 2).
4- i installed another progam for music playing like poweramp it was a great program but i noticed that when i increased the bass in that program i found one speaker is making noise so i went back to original player with the firmware so it can be adjusted from the settings ? or if there is another program is good also ( original music player came with the unit is gr8 but has low bass quality).
finally sorry for enlish if it is bad but i tried my best to explain what i have.
can any one help me plz ?

Hi Folks, Firstly I know I have been very stupid. Please don't make me feel worse than I already do. I have read through this board and after feeling like I was about to give in trying to fix my Chinese GPS I have a bit of hope. I bought the unit as working from ebay and decided (stupidly) to flash Mio Pocket after a guy on a car forum sung its praises. I initially meant to run from the sd to test but I accidentally clicked install and it did its thing then froze on reboot. After rebooting it was just stuck on the screen saying Welcome to Navigation. I have measured my screen, it seems to be 6.5" measured diagonally
I found a chinese site and have tried all the firmware on there, it all seems to restore my original GPS side of the software but the screen is the wrong resolution and too low on the screen. I can just about calibrate it by poking my nail down the bezel for the lower calibration points but then when I select the navigation source selection screen I cant see the files as they are off to the left (off screen) I tried using the remote to no avail. I have also tried the 117_nav_en.exe floating around on the internet which again seems to be the right software but the wrong resolution. My problem is that I bought the unit off ebay and I don't know the brand or model number to contact support. Neither does the seller unfortunately (it was used)
The unit is for a Skoda / VW it has GPS, BT, TV Tuner, 2 x sd slots (one for nav one for media) and an iphone input on the front. It has the car door open indicator pictures etc and the non ce side of things is still working fine.
I am reasonably confident that the firmware I have tried so far is for bigger screens than my 6.5" and hopefully if I can find a firmware version for this size I should be ok.
I have included an image of how it currently looks
I really hope someone can help me
Thanks for reading
Hello there to all.
I´m newly registered to the forum, although i´ve been using it to search, learn and use roms in my Samsung s3 for some time now.
I´ve bought recently a used S4 i9506. At the time i tested several key points of the device to check if it was all working, however (and don´t ask me why because i cant explain it), i completely forgot to test the cameras.
My problem is the following. Everytime i try to access the camera it says that camera failed or something like server connection failed. I´ve tried every single resolution i could find on the internet and so far all failed to solve it. The problem seems to be in both cameras, i think, because when i try the code *#0*# both Mega cam and front cam give error. Here´s what i tried so far:
- Soft Reset/Hard Reset/factory reset;
- Cleared cache both from boot and manually erasing cache from com.sec.android.gallery3d;
- Tried 3rd party camera apps from GooglePlay;
- Tried the RestartCamera.apk;
- Tried 3 different firmwares for i9506;
- Tried rooting it and then flashed several different roms;
- Switched the rear camera with a new i9506 rear camera module that i bought;
- I cant also test the cameras, because when i use the code *#34971539# they bring a menu on which i can´t use almost every option (see image);
http : / / rghost.net/6Zby4zXFD/image . png
Anyone have any other possible resolution?
I´m thinking on maybe buying a front camera module. Could that do the trick? Could the front facing camera not working properly make the rear camera fail as well?
Thank you for the attention to all who took the time to read.
So far 60 people read and nobody answered. ... is it because you don´t know what else i can do? I´ve been reading the problem may be from the motherboard. What can i do on the motherboard to make things right?
Thanks again
Be patient my friend someone will answer soon
Hi,
I've got the same problem with my s4mini. Both cameras aren't working and all the solutions you explained don't solve it.
I'm thinking about buying another S4mini with broken Display in order to change the motherboard. This might be the only possibility to solve this......

Hey there m8.
I know the feeling, right?!
The thing is that for a faulty i9506 model i could almost buy myself another motherboard and mount it, but i was hoping to find some other solution, maybe even some electronics expert opinion on what i could do in the motherboard to make it work again. There are some videos on youtube that teaches how to change some components on the motherboard to solve problems like dead smartphone or constant auto reboots. Also, finding a faulty i9506 model isn´t as easy as finding a regular S4. :crying:
Thx for sharing the problem and for the opinions,
and greetings from Portugal
Today i've changed the mainboard aaaaaaand -> cameras still not working
So i started to change the front cramera and the ear-brightness-sensor from the old s4 mini with the broken screen into my working one. And now both cameras are working again!:good:
I think the cause is most likely the brightness sensor which is combined with the ear speaker. This could explain why both cameras are not working.
I'm not completely sure due to i changed the front camera also. However changing the main camera did not do anything as mentioned above.
Maybe i should mention: A few weeks ago i've changed the earspeaker-brightness-unit because the speaker wasn't working anymore. Right after this both cameras stopped working.

Thank you for the update on your situation m8. That could be some relevant information there. Can anyone confirm if the sensor is the same for all s4 models? If so i could find more easily one from another s4 model and try it, for the sake of desperation.
cheers
Hi all,
I recently purchased a android head unit on Aliexpress. I can't post the link yet....
The unit is globally good, perfect integration and I managed to get the swc to work "natively" with poweramp app.
When I get more time I'll post a review of the device and feedback after a few weeks playing with the toy... In the mean time feel free to ask me !
I open this topic today because I would like to root the HU in order to install Viper4android which I understand improves the audio quality (stock quality is ok but it could be improved...).
The seller has been quite responsive but as soon as I talked about rooting the HU to install said app I got zero response so I figured XDA would be the place to go!
Before opening this thread I tried to find an answer on my own but not knowing precisely the HU name/specs makes it hard to find a match.
I've tried rooting with kingroot and baidu but I couldn't go through!
In order to help you guys help me, here is the data I have on my unit (apart from the link above that isn't giving much away... except it's supposed to be a Bonroad brand but nothing on the net....)
Its a quad core R16 1.6G
Android 4.4.2
MCU version : 5.3.18-98-10-E50201-160323
System version : 4.5.9_20160322
DVD version : 2.13.15-1200xh-15041.7
The audio chip is a TDA 7719 and the radio chip TEF662X.
Code to extra settings : 123456
Code to develop mode : 7890.
As design it looks pretty close to the wunlink Ownice but everyone knows that the inside may vary significantly !
Can anyone Id my unit based on the data above ? Or help me root it without bricking it ?
Thanks a lot for your help and looking forward to hearing from you and exchanging tips and tricks on these units!

You have pretty much the exact same info as my Android unit.
I was able to root my unit using "Kingoroot". But I would lose root every reboot. Then someone posted here to use "Kingroot V4.5.0" and only that version worked for me to keep root.
These are the forums that worked for me

hey this helped me as well my model info is exactly the same as yours except mine is 5.1.1
Hi,
I recently bought the attached unit 2nd hand with not firmware or gps card or any leads.
I managed to get power to it using a pioneer lead but when I plugged it in it beeped but the screen was blank and the src button lit up for a few seconds.
I then pressed the reset button and held in src let go of the reset and held the scr for a further 5 seconds or so and it seemed to boot up showed the vw screen then an android screen but it stays on the android screen and will not do anything else.
I believe it is the model in the following link I will also post a video of the reset I done

please see the link to the reset video

Like all chinese sh...t, you need to open the HU and check all the flat cable.
Unplug and plug very gentle on motherboard and videooard (behind display).
Thanks a lot for your reply !
I already did that for flat cables byt it's not better. I will do that again to be sure.
It's really like the system search something. I changed the car model in MCU, i tried to unplug all option cable behide but nothing better. Do you think that could be a problem of MCU version?
And another thanks to take time to help me !!

Maybe you have problems on tension plugs(12 volts).
Try to understand if the issue come only on bad streets when the car is shaking.
Hi guys,
I also bought a YT5760B/AC8259 unit (vertical) which came preloaded with XYAuto v.1.66, so there seem to be no need to upgrade, but I'm facing some issues that I would love to be able to solve somehow, so if someone have a hint/an advice about one of them please feel free to say
Issues:
a) Unit does not seem to turn off, even after 2 days, and it seems to drains my battery. It starts then right away when I turn the car and there is no boot time, but on motor stop, only the LCD screen seems to turn off
b) The unit is equipped with a LTE SIM card, which disconnects and reconnects every now and then irregularly. Vendor sent yet a new SIM card cable, will see...
c) A Phone conversation on the LTE SIM Card (not via bluetooth) does not go to Car Speakers, but instead stays on the head unit internal speaker...
d) I can't seem to customize the shortcut bar above the screen (marked with the red arrow on the picture), and that has nothing to do with the launcher which I changed
e) Has someone managed to root this unit ?
f) Does some have this unit installed in a Jeep Grand Cherokee? I can't seem to enable FCW (Front Collision Warning)
Thanks a lot in advance,
Nick
by the way if you disassemble the head unit you will be able to find 2nd sim slot in the head unit logic board and this sim support to work much better
haven't tested it yet but i guess it can solve your issue
Meanwhile, I received a new SIM holder cable and there is no more SIM disconnections

Hello, i have an unit 5760b, horizontal, and i have a annoying sound in background. You have that sound ? Thx
Hello everyone. I have exactly the same radio tape recorder and exactly the same firmware. But I am having problems playing music. Can anyone have an alternative firmware for this radio tape recorder? I would be very grateful if someone shares the firmware !!!))

Mine also a AC8259 with a diferrent skin I guess. Hate the launcher and homescreen. Cant change Icons.
Any know how change the interface? Launcher ?
Do you have a dump of your firmware?
if not, make a dump using the program Flashtool
And send me a link to the firmware I'll try to fix the bugs

i have the same model
how did you managed to get the speed working? mine doesn't move
Following this thread closely as I have the same unit, don't like my launcher with the fixed icons that we can't replace at all.
Have this same head unit. Does anyone know if there is a way to:
A) disable the top and bottom nav bar banners?
B) access an adb shell to disable some bloat apps
C) if there is custom roms out there to replace the stock xyauto software
Thanks in advance for any help, the sopport team for this head unit sucks.
