Update JOYING PX5 android 8.1 to android 9

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

OP6 Android 9.0 with Z-Link is working on the new intel joying units....

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)

I did specifically reply to OP's message, to be more clear:

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:
Is it possible to make my Joying 8.1 compatible with my OP6 Pie in another way?

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 thank you all for your answers.
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

Hi, is it possible to update a firmware/ROM from android 8.0 to 8.1 using Joying web updates? My HU is Xtrons MCU KEQ, but is essentially a Joying hardware with px5 4/32g.
Thanks in advance

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.

Ok, thanks.. I suspect that.. ja
Im lookin to replace my com.syu.amp from my actual 8.0 system. How can I get a new/different one? I saw that Joying is showing a new parametric EQ in the 8.1 set. And the HU dont have a DPS hardware. So.. Is there a way to take some Archives from android 8.1 to use it on 8.0?
Thanks in advance Surfer!

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.

ANDROID 10.04 for BMW E60 2008 CCC Version

Dear Developers,
I have bought an Android Head Unit Navigation System for my BMW E60 CCC version
I'm from Germany i have used ebay.de
The Unit is based on ANDROID 10.0.4 something
There are several BUGS :
1) From TIME to TIME Freeze --> just wait 2-3 Minutes --> not other workaround
2) CCC iDrive Controller not working on Android System --> WORKS OK ON I PUT THE CAR IN REAR GEAR! BUT I THINK THE APP FOR REAR GEAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANDROID OS !??
3) When Youtube is runnning sometime JUMPS to Start Menu
I bought the System with Android 9 but the seller Updated to Android 10 and make me Tester
Somebody can advice me on a DOWNGRADE to a Stable ANDROID 9? Or maybe there is another Update for ANDROID 10 ?
Thank you!

[AvinUSA] How can I upgrade my PX6 head unit from Android 9 to Android 10?

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.

siecane radio for 2014 toyota corolla updating help

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

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.

Erisin PX30 based head unit Android System webview issues.

HI all!
I have an erisin head unit in my vw golf and started acting up so i ran a reset. Still had the same issue so ran a 2nd reset. Still same issue. Turns out it is caused by the Android System Webview update. If i uninstall the update (yes its horribly insecure) google login, waze, and other apps sart working. HAs anyone run into something like this before?
(Android version: 10, patch level 2020)

Hallo, it's a known android 10 issue on px30, px5 and px6, MTCD/E, so far the only solution is to uninstall and disable webview and chrome updates. Try to write to the seller about a firmware update that will fix this problem.
