Edit:
I finally solved it, so in case anyone else has the same issue, here it goes.
Hi. If you still cannot downgrade, I have a solution that worked for me.
Look on the head unit harness for a cable that is marked Key 1.
With the radio off, put a flash drive with your update file in the required folder. Connect that Key 1 cable to ground in your car, turn on your radio and reset your radio (mine has a reset pinhole). When the radio restarts, it will force flash the firmware. After flashing, remove the ground connection and the flash drive.
Original post:
So, against my better judgement, I decided to update my TS18.1.1 head unit to TS18.2.2 firmware by modifying the file names, which worked, and almost everything worked properly, but now whenever I start listening to radio stations, a different music app like Pandora will start on it's own playing music. I have reset and reinstalled everything like four times already and have not found a solution so I guess my only option is to go back to T18.1.1 firmware.
The problem is that after renaming TS18.1.1 software and trying to install, the head unit reboots, starts installation and stops. The radio reboots and the firmware is not installed.
The 2.2 firmware is from February 2023 and the 1.1 is from December 2022. Maybe this is why I can't roll back.
So my question is, is there any way of forcing the older firmware into the radio? Or will I have to wait inter a newer 1.1 firmware, if it's ever released to go back?
Hi, if you have root access and seeing all folders on mounted device disk, delete folder named "cache" if you have it. then restart and see if helps, and try to update system again with ver. 2

Thanks for the suggestion but I do not have root. Still, I did find the solution.

I've attempted upping the Radio ROM on my O2 XDA Exec to 1.06.00 following the instructions here. Everything went wrong at first - I got the USB v1.00 screen, but I followed the instructions and the Radio update went OK.
Unfortunatly, after soft resetting and going into the control panel, clicking the Phone applet just hangs my Exec. The phone works, but I can't change the settings through either the control panel or from the phone > menu > options.
So I hard reset and let O2 do its thing, choosing corporate when presented. Still does it. Of doesn't rather. So I tried downgrading the Radio back down to 1.04.02 but the same thing occurs. Then I grab the latest 50Mb+ ROM update from O2. Tried it just now after 30 minutes - still, the phone applet won't work.
Any tips?
++ Edit ++
Fixed. I left it switched off for 20 minutes and once I switched it on, there it was, albeit with all fields blank. Tried a few things and managed to get it working smoothly again.
Odd...
++ Edit #2 ++
It does it when there is an SD card inserted. Ooo...
BTW, the 1.08 ROM update is already posted
Problems remain.
I can't get into the 2nd tab under the Notifications settings. It hangs as before. :?
Try upgrade to 1.08
Maybe this will work
The radio seems fine, but I've now discovered that Windows Media Player won't work.
Should I try reflashing everything again with the updated ROM from O2's site?
maybe re-do everything. Flash using a shipping ROM then upgrade radio from there
I'm beginning to think that maybe the memory isn't completly wiped and remnants are interfering with the operation of the new software.
I heard sometimes it is possible
Capacitive SC GPS Navi Android 4.4 2
I was recommended by the vendor to do a system update to 4.4.4 and to update the MCU aswell. He provided the files. After I updated the MCU I immediately lost all audio. I cannot hear music, cannot hear GPS, cannot hear DVD's. Adjusting volume does nothing. I disconnected the head unit from power to reset it but did not help. I then performed a factory reset and to my surprise this also did not help.
What happened and how can I fix?

Have you tried wiping the dalvik cache partition?
did you play with the unit Hardware ? because it happen to me and I forgot to connect one of the cables. so you check that.
also if you are sure 100% that the problem from Software , so try the following:
1) Go to Bluetooth and connect your phone and make call check the sound is it working or not.
2) Go to Factory settings and check every option carefully try to play with it.
3) Last solution try to find the Original MCU ( maybe by contact the manufacturing ) or try to find MCU version that is 100% compatible with yours.
Hello, i'm having trouble with my Joying JY-VL-131N2 Intel Sofia 2gb for Volkswagen.
Couple of months ago i installed SuperSU on Android 5 and some months later i updated to Android 6.0.1 september update.
I also used hvdwolfs Joying Extra Tools app to install the Sofia Server Mod so my Tasker is up and running automatic on every ignition.
All went well for some months but sometimes the standard video player has freezes from time to time and my music clips stored on usb stick were halting for some seconds and then continued playing.
I decided to update Joying Extra Tools to latest version (50) and look if there maybe is an updated SofiaServer Mod. I thought it must have to do something with that because after every fresh reboot it plays nice as it should. I installed the Mod again and then unfortunatly i tried to change the Joying Settings to Standard Android Settings via the Extra Tools app. But the installation of settings.apk hangs so i rebooted.
After that the mcu had some strange behavior. The volume rocker sign at notification bar was gone and i couldn't use my steering wheel keys.
Also the storage seems broken or so. I were not able to access files on usb.
First i tried factory reset and the device boots up with standard settings but problems still persists.
Then i put the update files from sept. 1. - 6.0.1 on fat32 stick but update failed.
On reboot it was stuck at command line and shows...
"E:usb volume for path [/mnt/usb_storage/5009_60.zip]
cannot unzip update file!
Error wait here..."
After some minutes the mcu reboots and same odd android with faults is up.
It seems something in android system is broken. I managed to use my phones hotspot to get wifi and downloaded / installed Joying Extra Tools.apk. The device still seems to be rooted but i'm stuck at this point now.
Also under device info it doesn't show anything other then "Unknown" for example the MCU Version...
Can someone figure out what i did to my mcu and how to fix this?

try to flash stock rom from other usb stick
I tried different USB Sticks and SD Cards but still the same with canot unzip error.
Maybe i'll give TWRP and GTX Rom a try.
try to flash this one.. if android doesn't boot completly just flash standard rom afterwards.
Help out someone else with same issue
Ok so i did unrar the 2 files on root of usb but nothing happened after connecting. then i copied whole stock 6.0.1 files on usb root but replaced Allapp.pkg and 5009_60.zip from your archiv.
It flashed! But then i got stuck at command line (see picture)... waited couple of minutes nothing happened.
Then i copied/overwrote back the 2 files (Allapp.pkg and 5009_60.zip) from stock update.
The HU bootet up to faulty android. I flashed the stock update but i got same error as described in first post.
"E:usb volume for path [/mnt/usb_storage/5009_60.zip]
cannot unzip update file!
Error wait here..."
The "Error wait here..." message appears after i got back in the car and turned ignition on.
Did i made some mistake?

The Problem ist i can't determine the MCU Version because its shown as Unknown Device under Settings.
Ok i need more advice i think... how can i boot into stock recovery? I put the files on usb stick, plugged in an wait until update massage appeared.
Did you mean i should flash the 2 files from testkeys.zip direkt with stock recovery?
so for now i will try to use an app like quick reboot to enter stock recovery.
otherwise please tell me exactly what i have to do
No worries we gonna fix this
Ok thank you I'm hopefull
Now i installed Quick Reboot app and let the app boot into recovery mode.
But when it reboots i got command line with something like sofia6.0! error wait here...
so it seems i even can't enter recovery mode
Can you flash TWRP recovery from within the custom.apk ? Is so you can then flash GTX ROM and update mcu from within car settings app (MCU files are in the rom)
In the gtx thread there is some info in description
"Due to Bluetooth, WiFi, and as well as nvram patches in the ROM and bootloader, you must be running Joying 6.0 firmware dated 2017_12_15 or later to install this ROM."
but i'm on earlier update so i don't know which is the last gtx version i could use.
i have sent gtxaspec a private message couple of days ago but no answer still.
i will try to install twrp first. i think when that works it could take in the right direction
i managed to install custom.apk. i had to access usb stick over root explorer from playstore because the stock filemanager won't let me access storage.
when i choose install custom recovery from custom.apk i get the message that i'm on the wrong update as i mentioned before
i think i maybe need an older version of custom.apk? hopefully then i'm able to install twrp that suits my current update version...
sadly in the mainthred the older versions if there any exists are not provided.

Didn't see your message(sorry I get a lot)....
Update to the latest joying Intel room, listed in my thread under Q and A, then you should be able to install my ROM. ?
Don't attempt install on old firmware, it causes issues with the bootloader and if difficult to fix. Follow all directions I'm my thread.
We have to start completely fresh here. If you started from a ROM earlier than October, your current MCU version is < 9.20.
The errors you get ("can't verify ..5009_60.zip") is due to incorrect signing and mixing all kind of ROMs and files and probably the TWRP recovery image. That will definitely not work.
Download/Use the latest ROM (2018-1-26; see below in blue) from here. (From this Joying blog https://www.joyingauto.com/blog/category/updated-files-released/)
Code:
Below updated files is (2018-1-26) version . please check :
Updated files for HD resolution 1024*600 :
MCU version is 9.20 or more later please click Here
[COLOR="Blue"] MCU version is 5.25 or more earlier please click Here[/COLOR]
If you flashed the TWRP recovery from the custom.apk then first write the stock recovery back.
Before trying to flash remove all SD-cards and usb-sticks from the unit and reboot with the usb-stick (or sd-card) with the complete unzipped ROM. Do not alter anything on this downloaded ROM.
Please try to flash that first. Then we see if it works or what error message we get. Do not try all kind of things with the TWRP/gtx ROM before your firmware and MCU firmware is correct.
If this doesn't work then we use the reset method: Use the same usb stick and use a "pointy thing" (needle or so) to reset your unit. Do this 3 times (reset immediately when you see the logo coming). Then the unit's leds will cycle purple/pink a few times and reboot the unit again perhaps 3 times and will then (hopefully) start the flash of the ROM. The pink/purple flashing/reboot can take 10 minutes: Have patience.
Maybe @gtxaspec has a few hints here as well.
Edit: and now @gtxaspec's post and mine are crossing.
旧FYT SOFIA 1024x600 did the trick!
Now i think about flashing twrp and gtxrom
some problem left is my steering wheel control. i can't really remember but i think the profile was rcz_vw_low or something like that.
back then when i purchased the HU, steering wheel control works out of the box. with rcz_vw_l mode the buttons response but volume up and down only response repetitive.
before the update i was able to press and hold the button and the volume was increasing or decreasing without having to press again and again.
is this a problem with maybe wrong profile or some setting i missed?
other thing is i don't see setting for deactivating button/touch beep. before the update it was under car settings t think.
but first at all i'm happy and relieved that the HU is working.
thank you both for your help!

That worked!
and the volume increase decrease is working too... sometimes i'm a little bit dump ... i had to press quiet a bit longer then the volume goes up or down when i press and hold up or down key at steering wheel. it seems there is a slightly more delay since the update.
only thing that is annoying is the button/touch beep. there is no option to turn it of... maybe i can get root to find and change / rename the soundfile?
any suggestions?
Ok i figured out the annoying beep thing. In car settings you have to switch to no amp then under sound settings tab the beep can be disabled.
as long as an active amp is choosen the option for beep is gone.
Hope that could help someone.
Hi,
I always thank you for nice information. I almost fixed my phone myself with the help of xda forum, only after I have "googled".
But this time, there's a problem I can't find the solution.
My Note 4 suddenly had few problems. After I had paired a Bluetooth game controller, and tried to change some Input option, the "setting app" just crashed. "Unfortunately Setting has stopped" was what I read. Since that point, every time when I try to go to the Bluetooth settings, it crashed.
After searching, I found that it could be fixed when I "reset" the network information, so I did it. I just got a blank list of Bluetooth and Wifi connection but however I could connect all my devices again… except this controller. As soon as this controller(with a specific name) connects, the setting began to crash again.
So my solution? Just not using the controller.
But after a while, I just got an another bug on the settings app. There is a shortcut for 9 items. After I added only 2 more shortcuts (so totally 7) the + button was disappeared.
It didn't bother me that much.
but... it now bothers me, after I have done the factory reset.
The same symptoms still there. I also did Odin Flash of the newest Firmware(which was already flashed over OTA) which I downloaded from Sammobile and did the wipe data/factory reset again.
Still the same bugs. With that controller, I never have a chance, and also the + button disappears after have added 2 or 3 shortcuts.
So I am really sure that the "settings app" is corrupted. But flashing the firmware didn't help. And even I flash with Odin again and again, the "user data" are still there. So I think this does not flash completely and there is somewhere in the phone a corrupted data for the settings.apk or the corrupted settings.apk is not being replaced or like that.
Is there any possibility to "force" ODIN to completely reflash the phone?
How do the Repair center flash? I thought they also use ODIN...
Any idea and suggestion?
Ok, I found the "answer" myself.
I just downgraded to the latest 5.1.1 firmware and the problem was gone.
But after I just upgraded again to the 6.0, setting app just shut down again because the bluetooth joystick was on the list.
I just upgraded without factory reset.
So it means that must be a firmware issue. No idea if it has to do with mainboards produced in a certain week or with the "name" of this gadget, which causes some crash in the marshmallow settings app.
Ok, now I just wanted to reboot the phone and it has a bootloop. hmm… No idea what's wrong.
Hi guys
I got a problem whit my Radio app, it has crashed wen performing an auto search
And then i could ever open again.

Same here, after resetting the radio to factory defaults the radio app works again, but as soon as I do a search the app won't start again.
my radio is a YT9213AJ_00011_VOL001_20200330 XY Auto: 3.2 ( 8227L )
Did you find a solution ?
radio app problem
i have the exact same problem. radio crashed while searching for stations and now no longer starts. I launch the app, a black screen and then go back to the home page.
I tried with some reset but nothing.
is there a total factory reset like for mobiles?
were you able to solve the problem?
Factory Reset will solve the problem.
