TomTec Head Unit Firmware - Android Head-Units

Hi All,
Looking for some help please. Trying to fix my friends head unit which had crashed and boots up and cuts off again so guessing an firmware issue.
Problem being is we are having no luck trying to get the latest firmware for the head unit as seller is asking for purchase details but my friend bought it off gumtree.
After spending a few hours on the internet researching this we have both came to the conclusion this is the radio in question: Ebay UK# 372660101740
His did have android 9.0 and looks identical with specs also.
He said model is: 8227L ?
Does anyone know where I can find a download to get this sorted ?
Many Thanks

Update
Hi All,
Finally managed to get the device on long enough to factory reset it which has got the radio back on but its wiped off a few of the apps that were pre-installed including the DAB+.
I have managed to get that reinstalled but its now not detecting the DAB+ box ?
Do I need to install something to get this to work ? - possibly for the USB ports??

A-Sure S3 - 5.1.1 Intel head unit KYD - How to root and rom update.

After a lot of time trying to find out more about this unit, I thought I would create a thread and start it off with what I now know.
The unit is similar to the Joying unit, it uses the Intel processor and is non mcd. The manufacture is Kaiyide (KYD) the rom is again similar to the joying but not quite the same.
Passwords are 3368 for the main car settings and 0808 to change launcher. There is a password for something to do with the door locking, which I dont know.
Root is achieved the same way as the joying using the method posted by MMTK84 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69648860&postcount=84&nocache=1&z=8361786322568856
The latest rom is available using the link below, extract the folders and load content into root on on a usb stick put it into the unit and it will auto detect and update.
https://mail.qq.com/cgi-bin/ftnExs_...18440714350f&t=exs_ftn_download&code=0c66ff52
When i installed the rom, I used the apps and boot animation from the latest Joying rom download both have installed correctly. Im unable to load the mcu update as it searches the manufactures info and as its not JY it wont update. If anyone can help with this I would like to try it as the MCU software is a lot older than the Joying. Can this be achieved by editing the build.prop file?
Please add to this thread and edit as necessary. I hope this helps A-Sure unit owners as the information is very difficult to find.

Hi Rick,
I'm interested in making this thread too, there seems to be no resources for this unit whatsoever.
Have just purchased an A-sure unit, ball ache trying to figure it all out without a manual. Although, A-Sure have now sent me one.
Have updated the ROM with your help, looks quite a bit different now.
I'm not a developer, more of a meddler, am too old now to take it in like I once did.
Cheers for now,
Alan.
Hi Alan, thank you for adding to the thread! You are quite right there is almost no information available for the A-Sure unit. Fortunately the information can be put together from various threads here on the XDA forum. But having it in one place makes sense.
I know exactly where you are coming from and I am the same more meddler than developer and also a lot older than when i used to install car audio and security for a profession. Im pleased that you found my info useful.
I would very much like to modify the DAB app so that it shows the station logos - or use another one if anyone knows an app that will work.
I have updated the iGO app on my unit - ugh took me a while to get it working. for that you need root access.
Most of the issues are now cured on my unit, I just have a problem with loosing gps when going between apps ie from iGo to poweramp and back (music player - way way better then stock app)
Best regards
Rick.
extract the package then open the first folder / second until you see a group of files, put those onto the fat32 usb stick and then try to update

Hi Rick, I also have a S3 unit of A-Sure (Intel sofia, 1GB, 16GB, WiFi Version). It looks like that A-sure offers currently no updates. I wrote 12 emails with no satisfactory answer to my questions. The system of A-Sure is very bad translated in German and contains many software problems. I would also like to update my system, as you have done it. Unfortunately the download link is offline. Can you put it online again? I have the S3 unit with the physical buttons. This information is based in the MCU, isn´t it? The android System is the same one? Can I set the Android system in German?
Thank you very much.
Rom Offline?

Pls upload the Firmware. Original link Down
WTF, no answer
Because no one answer here, I tried to update the ROM on myself. I have downloaded the ROM of Joying 20170328 and unpacked. I Have deleted the directory MCU, and the files 0308 STM8UD.BIN and STM8_PROJECT cov.s19 (I read that must be the original of A-Sure). I copy the files on a SD card and put it into the GPS slot. Unit is switched on and the update has started. After 10 minutes, on the screen was: Please remove SD card. I have done it. Nothing happens. Reset. Unit rebooted and has Android further installed. Then black screen. Reset again. Android starts, everything seems to work . In the info bar is in bold red font: MCU and UI do not fit together. Looks stupid ... But ok.
The physical keys work, only the DVD drive does not work. Apparently no driver in the Android system available. TOMTOM can not be installed (here you have to root the device and change the serial number). The translation of Chinese in German is clearly better than in A-Sure, in the radio app the RDS text is also no longer overlapping. More I have not tested yet, I'm glad that I have not shot the device.
I Think, i´m waiting for the offical update of A-Sure (if there will be one, I don´t think so...)
Yes, these were my first experiences.
Whether I would recommend it, I do not know.
Many advantages I have not recognized so far ...
Good news from A-Sure. They have a new firmware, directly to Android 6. No problems with updating, even TOMTOM works without routing and changing the ID...
Good news, thank you.
I have a problem with german text to speech in google navigation.
I tryed also the update to joying, but wifi didn't work.
Is there a download link for the update available?

I have used this upgrade, works perfectly but erases the IGO satnav.
I'd love to know how to put TomTom on this unit instead.
Alan.
My unit is an A Sure AS-S3A3 Picture in my Album, see profile.
I have updated my Asure Opel headunit Type S3OVG.
Before the update the text to speech from google navigation didn't work. There was also an update shown, but updatescreen crashes when opened.
Now, after the update, all seems to work.
I have updated my A-Sure Android 7 Zoll Unit.
All working.

Thanks for the reply, I am not entirely sure if it is an MTCB unit. Please have a look at the attached specs screenshot and let me know if it looks like the unit you are referring to?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Perhaps I will need to wait to get my hands on the unit to see if I can get some further info. For now I will do as you suggested and read through that wiki!
If anyone else has any idea or can point me in the right area, please do so

Hello everyone. I received an updated Firmware directly from seicane for their head unit. This is Android 10 update for the 2/32 GB unit. Everything seems to be working great so far on unit. If you would like to try it for yourself please feel free to download and install. I'm not too tech savvy so if you have any questions I'll answer them the best I can. Thought I would share for anyone to update their own unit if possible
PLEASE BE ADVISED YOU USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I will not be held responsible for any damages done to your own unit.
Thank you!

I'm not sure what you are asking. You can open the Bluetooth settings if that's what you want to know.

The thing is, I can connect my phone to the radio unit, but I can't search for Bluetooth devices because there isn't a option for Bluetooth for it in the Android Menu.
Also the car unit doesn't run anything at background, except Maps or music app (only if it's playing something)
2/32g unit?
Thank you for the update. Question please... What do you mean by 2 unit? I have an Allwinner T3p1 k2001 Quadcore 1024x600 screen A23 Android 10 and wondering if I could use your update in case I brick mine while trying to root... Do you know if your update would be compatible with a quad core? Trying hard to find a way to root but cant find my device in twrp and super bummed no one has guided isoking with his rooting desires since I have the exact same model and MCU to the T. I appreciate any guidance you could give. Not sure which Magisk img or twrp would be ok to use for my device, all usb drivers I've tried do not work, and really want root access with Google install capability. Thank you!
These are Allwinner based on the Sunliq platform..Allwinner has locked USB debugging on these units, and there is a formal petition against them for that, they dont play clean with GPL..
Since there is no operational USB debugging, it cannot be rooted or custom recoveried for now..

Strange things on a XTRONS unit

Hello everyone,
Firstly, sorry for my bad english i'm french ....
I'm searching explanations and any help about strange things on my first android head unit (replacing my Audi RNSE in my S3 2007)
I bought an XTRONS IB80A3ALN last week
Works like intended but need more personalisation so i decide to flash with HAL9K ROM.
Flash works properly but when unit reboot got a black screen with some white bars moving on the screen and unit stay like this, can't see anything.
I try many things like recovery, same black screen and i don't do a dump before flashing, my fault i discover .....
But before flashing i take some screenshot to show to my brother.
First thing, serial number on the sticker and in the About are not the same, is it normal ?
Second thing, in the About model it's PX5(1280x720) but according to XTRONS website it's 1024x600, is it normal ?
Third thing (and i make lot's of research here) the MCU in the About show MTCH_LM_V3.75_1, but according to my research LM is for Erisin/Pumpkin not for XTRONS which should be GS, right or not ?
So i'm confused with this unit, i ask my reseller and XTRONS support, no one respond since 5 days, would get at least original stock firmware and mcu to try to flash.
I search a proper firmware and MCU but nothing (could latest MTCE be flashed on a MTCH ???)
I am able to enter MASKROM and dependind to which uboot and recovery.img i flashed i'm able to get fastboot working through usb, but always with black screen
Any explanations/help/files will be very appreciated
With my best regards,
Thibaut

If you are still within 12 months warranty, just return it.
Yes sure it would be better but because when in reverse gear the screen works i'm searching solution waiting for xtrons to allow me to return the unit ........

Unit Manufacturer?

Hi I bought a BMW X1 (E84) that came with one of these units installed already. My question is how I determine who the manufacturer is so I can
find the correct firmware (if possible) to upgrade it. It came with Android 9 and I would like to upgrade that as well. Again, if possible.
TIA
Dan
