Hi guys. I just bought a car and it has a chinese navigation YT9218 from what I understand.
It says it have Android 8.1 Go on it, but it is moving really hard.
I will atach some screenshots about version to be more clear.
What I wanna do is update the firmware or something to make it run smoother.
If any guides/ideas will be much apreciated.
Thanks a lot.
I found some updates on 4pdu, and on this site http://file.xygala.com/.
I updated my unit to xyauto_ui1_R2G_9218C_full_8227L_demo-ota-20200602_HIFI.
Anyone have a guide on configuring those units? Or any tutorials?
Or maybe a rooted new version of firmware? It sucks that u can not customise it as you want even if is android. I would try some apps for customisation... but idk how much it can run at 1GB RAM...

As a modder of these units, I have to tell you that the only way for you to make it run smoother is through custom firmware and root. Once enabled, you need to adjust some settings to ensure it runs well. I have made a post here that describes in detail how to improve units YT9213AJ and YT9216B but the principle is the same.

Can you repost the pictures? It's impossible to see anything. If your head unit has this label starting with YT9218CH:
and has 1Gb RAM 16 Gb FLASH, then you can try this mod I just released:

Hey guys Ive been reading threads for a while and ive been trying to figure out everything about rooting and roms etc. but im still unsure of a few things. I ordered a 10.2" Android 4.4.4 headunit for my lancer and I think I want to root it just to make it more customizable, I havent received it yet but I want to be ready when it is here. the main things I want to do is be able to change Icon size, the layout, boot animation, auto wallpaper changer and have a nice clean stock android experience while keeping all the car related features of the car (radio, STC, blutooth, GPS etc) any cool root-only add on apps would be a big bonus.
So heres what Ive learned that I need to know about my unit. It has a Cortex 9 1.6 Gigahertz 4 core RK3188 1024x600
I cant figure out what to do with that information, what do Install onto it? how do I do it off an SD? How do I make sure I dont mess it up and have a broken system that doesnt work?
After Its rooted how do I start tweaking Stuff?
Thank you very much if you take time to help me out, I appreciate it.
Im sorry if what im asking has been covered somewhere and I just missed it.
Have a good day everyone.

This is the information you need to supply before anyone can help you:
As an example:
"Number model: S07
Version MCU: MTCB KLD2 V2.77 aug 26 2015
Version android: 4.4.4 10082015
Kernel version 3.0.36+ @ chun roo-book # 817

Hi all,
Does anyone own the Joying JY-UO135N4PX5S (please mind the "S" at the end of the reference number)?
It has CPU: PX5 Octa Core, Ram: 4GB, Rom: 64GB.
Can we use Malaysk ROM for PX5 (2-4 Gb) 8.0 Android Oreo on this unit?
It has been a while since this HU was available, but I can't find anywhere any review, feedback or anything about it.
Thank you for replying.
Short answer: no.
For extended information, see the relevant thread where the subject has been already extensively discussed.

Thanks for replying and for the info.:good:
I guess the above thread deals with JY-UO135N4PX5, which has Rom 32GB, and not JY-UO135N4PX5S (There is in "S" at the end) with Rom 64GB. I have already seen that thread. Maybe they mention/discus about the "S" model through the thread but I did not find it. Sorry if that is the case
It's the same, just with extended storage…
There are only a very few different units, the variety coming from different screens and storage capacity. Don't believe that Chinese producers lose time and money on developing specific units…
Your unit is a QD produced one. There is very little hope to have custom development on the QD units.

Thank You Néocray for clarifying that. Very helpful as I was going to order the wrong HU. I will be looking for other models (so hard and time consuming to find the right one in that jungle of cheap Chinese Android units).
There is no custom Roms yet for new Android 8.0 FYT units neither, right?
MERCI
I'm in the same boat you are. I came from a time when Joying only made MTCx MCU based units and i accidentally purchased this same unit. I also hear the QD doesn't have a useable recovery either. I wonder if they have a slot A/B and use boot.img to get into recovery? I'm going to play w/ this one I just purchased to see what I can do with it. Anyone know if these are prerooted or easily rootable?
Thanks

Hello, I buyed the same unit, it has advantages and disadvantages, someone knows how to put a name radio stations, I do not find that option?

Actually it is extremely simple to create a custom rom for your QD unit, or/and to root it and install xposed on it . The flashing is extremely simple. See this post from @m2maynard.
And there is indeed no Custom rom yet for the FYT units. You do need a specific TWRP recovery image for that. There are a few, but they need to be adapted for our units. Then the custom rom building can start.
But like I mentioned before:With rooting and xposed and the JET apk, I see no reason for a custom rom for the PX5.

I agree that there is little need for a custom rom but it's nice to have one that has certain features baked in. IE: Speed volume control, GPS time brightness control, certain MCU interception options, etc. I ended up getting rid of the QD as I wasn't able to obtain root but I also didn't have a factory image to play with at the time. If I had something I could inject SU into I may have kept it.

Dear all,
i have this Funrover head unit, please your help if it possible yo update firmware, actually i have android 8.0 but its very slow and the mirrorlink or Easyconnect wont work on usb type C...

You have a Sofia unit. That unit is running Android 6.0.1. That does not support phones with Android 8.x. There is no firmware that will help you.
You should better take a look at HUR: Head Unit Reloaded. It is made by an XDA developer.

What info? From the supplier or the website or on your unit?
I don't see that from your images.
Also: A Sofia running on android 8.0? That would be the first that I know of (but I don't know everything , not by far )
Your 2nd image shows a Bluetooth version of 6.0.1.-23. That version is not correct, but is shows Android 6.0.1 with some kernel version.
Anyway: Even if your Sofia is running Android 8, there is no (custom) firmware available that will allow it to pair with an android phone on 8.x or newer.
Thank you for the explanation surfer.
That means i cannot install any of the firmware on this forum?

Probably not. Maybe you can install the gtxaspec custom rom, but only if your funrover is 100% identical with a Joying Sofia (which is possible).
Normally there is a fyt.prop where the company is defined. For Joying that id is 43. So even if you use that custom rom, you first need to change the id in the custom ROM to the Funrover id, otherwise your MCU will give problems.
And even in that case: your android phone 8 will still not be supported in Android auto/Easyconnected.
So my advice: Don't even try that route as you will not have any support.
Go for HUR like I advised in my first post.

PS: It seems there is problem with this file. system.img will not extract, software will load but not boot.

I didn't test it yet. But I'm interested in where to get these custom roms for this device. And mcu update files maybe.
Any updates about device manufacturer?

But they are talking about android 8.1 TS9-devices and also still don't gave me useful information.
Is there anyone with same hardware?

Hi ! Is this firmware Android 8.1? I'm using Android 9.
Can you leave feedback after upgrading please?
Is this official rom or custom firmware? I would be glad to hear from you. :fingers-crossed:

Good to go. Looks like original firmware, all stock, installed today with no issues.
My multimedia is Preling Tesla style for Opel one. 4/64 ts9. Dont think it is kind difference between firmwares, once disassembled a lot of them, this one by tw.
As well used magisk root recovery, all is working.
Asked seller for new firmware for one hundred times and found it myself on internet by mistake =). BTW all this is not 9 android like it called in info it is 8.1. Also get info regarding upcoming android 10. Will see. Personally waiting for RedMode firmware because of buttons reassignment possibility.
PS. Is it any good rom maker or hard experienced app modifier with this kind of multimedia?

Yes, I asked the seller for new firmware and mcu updates, too. More often. They answered only, no new firmware at this time. I could not believe that because mine was released on december 2019.
So, this (new) firmware you have is android 8.1, isn't it?

A couple of small improvements. I think this is the last available ROM on the market now. Have root and launcher with opel sedan logo on desktop implemented.
Have one annoying bug with original Bluetooth application. It is double skipping forward backward ie one press two track forward. Think that problem is partially hardware issued.
BTW all the firmwares for this multimedia is 8.1.
Hope somewhen redmod for ts9 tesla will be released once i need key relearn feature.

So, now I'm pretty unsure to keep my stock android 9 and waiting for upgrades or downgrade to android 8.1
Do you know if root is working on android 9?
What will you do in my case? What I want is root and future updates, of course.

Updating to yet another stock firmware will not do any improvements on your head unit. There might be custom firmware for your head unit but you need to post a screenshot of your System Info. It will contain your MCU.

Hi @ExtremeMOD I'll would like your help and knowledge, I bought a year ago a Chinese android head unit, specifically a yt9216b in Aliexpress
(https://aliexpress.ru/item/10000205...4W7zQi_w9naFPgRWKuFXS_Vu6YMEwP6xoCxIgQAvD_BwE)
months ago I changed the default launcher to Car Launcher Free by Apps Lab Studio
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autolauncher.motorcar.free&hl=es)
and a month ago suddenly the touchscreen has no response and I cant do anything at all
I haven't upgraded or modified any of the firmware or anything like that cause I don´t know how to do it, as I wrote I only change launcher cause it was an easy thing to do and for esthetical reasons.
I´ve watched some of your videos and the only thing I can share to you about de head unit is the next image and the video of the failure or malfunction, cause the touchscreen isn´t working I can´t go to see the kernel version.
thanks for reading and hopefully you can advice of what and how to do it

Check the flat cable in the middle, inside the unit. Sounds like it's loose. Or insert it the other way.
