Joying released an Android 8.1 update for PX5:
https://www.joyingauto.eu/blog/category/update-firmware/
Unfortunately I was unable to get it onto my (non-Joying) RNS. It currently runs Malaysk 2.0 and it's not recognized as an update. I also tried writing the sdupdate.img to a bootable SD card using the SD Firmware Tool and also tried the Malaysk for updating 6.0.1 => 8.0 by writing the 6.0.1 boot to the card and replacing the file. All methods failed. Maybe someone has more luck or at least it it interesting for the Joying users. I just wanted to try something different then the Malaysk rom for a change.
Just because joying decided to make a few updates to their 8.0 and call it 8.1 does not necessarily make it any newer than malaysk’s version.
Hi, I just bought joy
JOYING 2GB / 4GB RAM 32GB / 64GB ROM Octa Core CPU Android 8.0

I guess the 8.1 is newer than the 8.0. Also the Joying interface for settings, ... seems nicer. Just wanted to try something different but seems I have to stick to the Malay for now.

Joying/Joyous RK3188/PX5 units are not MTCD/E units, so you cant use any of Malaysk's ROMs and this thread is in the wrong forum.
Xtrons are advertising 8.1 headunits, is there any firmware that will work with a TE103AP? To get the latest firmware for these, we have to email Xtrons for a link that changes every time an update is released so nobody can see if there is a new update available unless you email them, surely they get bored replying with everyones requests for new updates...

No idea what a "TE103AP" is - "TE103AP" is a made up name by Xtrons - they are a seller only and not a manufacturer, they sell units from several different manufacturers.
On XDA we go by the MCU number as this is the only reliable way of identifying an android headunit.
So post your MCU, that way both yourself and XDA members can identify your unit.

Interesting, but they use RK3399/PX6 chipset, so the ROM wont work on MTCD/E RK3368/PX5 devices, the only way you could upgrade to 8.1 would be to buy an RK3368/PX6 SoM, unless MTC bring out an 8.1 update for the RK3368/PX5, which they might well do.
The RK3369/PX5 is hexacore ie 2 less cores than the RK3368/PX5, but they clock faster than the RK3368/PX5 at 2Ghz (RK3368/PX5 1.5Ghz).
The units in those links are MTCD/E units.
not only clock,
at same clock an Cortex A72 is (lot) better than an Cortex A53. ( https://images.anandtech.com/doci/10347/79519.png ) https://www.anandtech.com/show/10347/arm-cortex-a73-artemis-unveiled
(The PX5 is look like an Snapdragon 425 (or 62x) whereas the PX6 look like a Snapdragon 650 (2 Cortex A72 + 4 Cortex A53)

2 less cores but better processor.
Not sure I can be bothered to upgrade again tough - I went from MTCB/C dual core to MTCB/C quad core to MTCD/E quad core to MTCD/E octa core, I ll think I ll stick with octa core for now, it ll be ages before @Hal9k_ releases a custom ROM for the hexa core units !
BTW @ds980x your unit is an MTCD/E unit and in the MTCD/E form there are 3 custom ROMs available plus many factory ROMS, you are not tied to any links Xtrons give you.

Hello everyone
I have since yesterday a Joying JY-UO135N4-OBD, MCU number: TP6735D 0.43 under android 8.1 that I want to upgrade to android 9 because my OnePlus 6 is under 9 and can not connect USB on the Joying.
Is there an update?
Thank you for your answers.

No there is no update and I'm for 99,5% sure there will not come an update anymore now that the new Intels are coming in and the PX5s are slowly phased out.
Eunavi claims they will have a 9.0 firmware for their PX5 units this month. Maybe others will update as well.

I'm a little disgusted to learn that, I should have better information before.
Is it possible to make my Joying 8.1 compatible with my OP6 Pie in another way?
In bluetooth everything works very well but in usb (for android auto and mirror function) my OP6 sees the joying but the joying does not connect to the OP6.
Thank you for your skills

I believe you can attempt using the trial version of Headunit Reloaded Android Auto and if this works out. You can try out using the full version.

I can confirm this to work with Pixel 2 running Android 9.0 using both wired and wireless.
It's not installing Android 9.0 directly onto the head unit but it will mirror any source android phone as long as it's 4.1+.

The OP asks whether he can upgrade his PX5 to Android 9. Not whether he can use an Android 9 phone/device with his unit.
That's a big difference and mirroring your phone to your head unit might be enough, but it is always a big functionality limitation when comparing it with the full head unit functionality.
For me the only concern with older Android versions it the lack of support when it comes to security patches by those Chinese suppliers. Joying (and all the others) simply stop supplying security updates even though the Android 8.0 version on the PX5 is still fully supported.
Using Android auto or headunit reloaded does not change that. It might even make it worse (and especially with z-link)

But seeing that the OP may be staying with his current PX5 I took the liberty of suggesting an alternative to Z-link. Seeing as I have hit the same snag as him with my PX5 and Pixel 2 running Android 9.0. So as a reiteration to the previously mentioned:

You are completely right. I had overseen his second question. sorry.
Headunit reloaded should/might work.
Z-link only works with phone versions up to 8.1 with the PX-5.
The new 9853i (8.1) does work with Android 9 phones. It might be worth trying to install that z-link version onto the PX5 to see whether that works.

I made a cross on a hypothetical update of the PX5 but if an application can replace Z-link to run my OP6 pie it would be great.
Or a custum ROM ....

I have an OnePlus 6T and I have the 10.1" octacore 4/64 GB px5 8.1 joying unit and I contacted them about it. They say they are working on an update to fix it. So... We shall see, not holding my breath. I plugged in my backup Moto E4 and the works with z link.
What I'm trying to figure out is what update my unit needs since they have their Intel altimont update on their site and I'm not sure if that's compatible.
Edit: ok so I see that I have a QD unit, I reached out to joying to see if there's any recent updates

No.
The PX5 8.0 firmware is an ARM64 android. The intel airmont 8.1 firmware is an x86_64 android.
They are completely incompatible. And then there is the differences in other hardware requiring other drivers.

I don't think so.
And the com.syu.eq is the "visual" equalizer. I'm afraid the difference in hardware is too big to make it work. And I also think that other libraries and drivers are required.

My problem is that EQ is not doing that would be at all. 7 bands and and every one of this acts as HPF. Its imposible get a good spot.
On system/priv-app/ there are 2 folders related to audio, one is the 180000000_com.syu.amp that inside has an .apk called AMP.
And de second folder is com.syu.eq that has the Eq executable.
Maybe trying with the last Joying web firmware to px5 from november 2018? What do you think?
Thanks again for your help.

Sorry. I really don't know. I already mentioned my doubts and have no further experiene with it, and know nobody who has.
Would it be possible to see if the Z-Link apk (from new Intel Joying) can work on the 8.0 (PX5). If someone can extract the apk and share it from the device itself? I've tried downloading the firmware, and extract the system.img but I can't go any further than that for now. I need to figure out how to extract ext4 images on a mac.

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.
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

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.

Hi have installed an android head supposedly at android 9.1. I'd like to update the firmware as many things are not working on this unit, i.e., wireless, phone linking, canbus, etc.
This unit has no name brand on it. System settings shows
MCU: 3.5 (82277L),
CPU: A7 1.3 GHz x 4,
android os: Android 9.1
Model: YT9216BJ
Does anyone have any idea on how to get the correct firmware update for this unit. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
