[MENTION=2550900]surfer63[/MENTION]

I have the latest firmware (7.4.2020) how can I root this version? I don't know if it is already explained but I have a very limited level of English and I won't move around the forum well. Thanks in advance.

nobody knows
[FYT Android Head Units] tchleb:
See first topic of this thread.

Download the developer.zip and use it as manual for rooting.
[FYT Android Head Units] sergiola123:
Does it work for the latest version?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The method as described in the develop.zip works for every version. Do not use the rooted image of that old firmware for your current firmware. Also read the last few pages of this thread.

please help!

Hi!

I want to ask for help. I have a radio that the seller has corrupted with an update. the update was not good. i put up joying software and it works properly with it, but in the yellow bar above there is that "UI AND MCU DOEST NOT MATCH" should be rooted but i couldn't find a solution. i put the latest update on it.2020-04-07.

First of all: This has nothing to do with rooting. Do not abuse this thread for something completely different. Make a new thead (next time).

You need the upgrade that your reseller provided to check for some data:

- Open the Allapp.pkg (read here in post #1 "The Allapp.pkg" how to do that)

- Check the fyt.prop (same post to read) for "ro.build.fytmanufacturer=". In the Joying it is "ro.build.fytmanufacturer=43". Your firmware should contain another number. Use that number in the fyt.prop and repacakge the Allapp.pkg.

- check the config.txt in for "sys.fyt.bluetooth_type=". Joying has 1. Your firmware maybe a different number. Use your number.
[FYT Android Head Units] B.Zoli84:
shouldn't have been rooted? in another entry it was written root must be. I managed to root recently, but I can't see the System / app folder and edit fyt.prop folder. system and app folder is there but the fyt.prop folder is not there. I used solid explorer.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
What has rooting to do with flashing wrong firmware?

And I never mentioned the /system/app folder. I mentioned the Allapp.pkg from your original firmware and how to unpack that. Read the link to the post I provided.
[FYT Android Head Units] Miles Prower:
Hello! So I bought a head unit from a Chinese vendor a while ago and tried to root it. I'm only now finding this thread, though.

The vendor had provided me with a firmware package dated from around Dec 2019 in the form of a .zip containing files such as "6521_1.zip" and "Allapp.pkg". I've contacted Joying for an updated version but they denied my request when I provided them the serial number (?) : "Sorry, your head unit not belongs to us. We don't have a workable firmware for your unit, because the different brand has different software and hardware. If you use our update file, your unit will be damaged. Hope you note." Weird.

This is the unit: https://i.imgur.com/DyOydUb.jpg

I've naively tried to root it using Magisk, using the firmware package provided by the chinese seller. I've installed Magisk Manager on the device, extracted "boot.img" from 6521_1.zip, then patched it using Magisk on the head unit itself. I've then taken the patched boot image and replaced the boot.img file within 6521_1.zip - of course, it's not so easy and the updater complains about an invalid signature: https://i.imgur.com/p8y8AK1.jpg

So, yeah. Let's take it slowly. Given the information I have and what Joying said to me by email - am I even in the right thread for that Android device?

If so, I supposed I should follow the instructions in https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82463779&postcount=400 to build my own patched firmware (how do I sign it then)? Or should I risk updating the unit with a Joying-provided file instead of what the Chinese vendor sent me?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Incorrect but understandable answer from Joying. Buy your unit somewhere else and ask Joying for support. No Go naturally!

You have to check your manufacturer id and your bluetooth id. Then you take the firmware from Joying and modify the config.txt and Allapp.pkg. with your units id. That is described on several locations in this forum and also 3 posts above this one.

Because you did not sign the zip. Take the developer.zip from the first post and carefully read the Howto inside it. It explains the whole process and tells you how to sign the 6521_1.zip. And yes: you must definitely sign the zip.
[FYT Android Head Units] camedia2:
I downloaded the file Joying_Root_9853i_1024X600_2019.3.29.zip for my 7 inch Joying with the April 2020 firmware. I copied the two files 6521_1.zip and lsec6521update to an empty USB drive. After what appeared to be a successful install the screen now shows "Need check active: 1 Area: 2" in red on top of everything, and I can't play Google Play Music any more. What did I do wrong?
[FYT Android Head Units] camedia2:
At this point can I recover by simply reflashing the official April 2020 firmware?

To be frank, my rooting attempt was to accomplish two things:

1. I installed AccuWeather and placed its widget on the home page. After restarting the car the widget no longer refreshes. I want it to refresh without having to open the app again.

2. I share my head unit's location with other people and also turn on Location History in Settings. The location is only shared when Google Maps is active. Location History doesn't work at all.

If the above issues can be solved by other means, I would rather not root the device.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
You can reflash with the 2020 April firmware. The topic clearly mentions to use a rooted boot image belonging to the firmware version. And I really don't understand why you took the oldest rooted boot image available. You can also find boot images for the 2020 April firmware, so you might try that one first before reflashing.

I don't know about 1. and 2., but I would check first if it helps if you add both apps to the "Device admin apps".
[FYT Android Head Units] camedia2:
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I had doubt when I copied the old boot image, but I still rushed it without going through everything.

Is there a repository for the boot images? I checked the posts in this thread since April, but I can't seem to find a link.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
There is my thread "Modding your Joying/FYT SC9853i unit without root", which contains prebuild images for several ROMs in post #3 but not for the April version as nobody shared it yet, and I didn't create one myself either as I don't need/want root.

But if you really want a rooted device, simply follow the steps in the howto from develop.zip in the first post.
[FYT Android Head Units] cristisst:
Is anyway to format the SD card as internal on Joying HU?
[FYT Android Head Units] camedia2:
Thanks again. I simply did an update with the April firmware and it's back to life. I didn't even have to use the reset button. After that I installed the FYTStarter app to start AccuWeather on wakeup. Though I wish it could start an app in the background.

Can you make a backup of your unit using one of surfer63's scripts since it seems that you have a version newer than what's posted on their site, not mentioning the fact of the fake Android 10 version number. Unless you have an update package for that version.

You flashed the wrong version, you have to check your firmware version and flash the patched boot files accordingly.

Hello, I have a vertical compatible unit, and I want to update it, but I don't know if I should do it with one of the "rotatables" firmware (latest is from last november) or I could use the latest from the page (the april one). Somehow, touch screen have become crazy (touches doesn't match with my fingers), and I can't configure anything so I don't know how to fix it other than trying to update to latest firmware.

Hey guys

I’ve ordered a new style 9.7” Android 9.0 head unit for my Camry in Australia that’s still in its way. It’s running on the Intel SC9853i cpu similar to Joying but I was informed that the screen resolution on this one is 1920x720. It’s from an online car radio store called Aotsr. Is it possible to root this model as well using the same method? Once I received it I’ll have clearer information on the specifications. The seller were very vague on the specs, I had to ask what kind of cpu it was running on.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I guess it is 1280X720 as that is a current resolution.

Once you've got it you can run my hwget_info to see if it is compatible.

Anyway: This rooting method is "universal" and should theoretically work on any unit, but make sure you have the original firmware.

And I still don't see the need for rooting. First think why you need it, not simply because it is possible.
[FYT Android Head Units] Rami3073:
Thanks for getting back to me. It seemed confusing at first due to the fact that the seller hardly knew about the spec sheet of the device, not to mention the specifications in the ad is inaccurate. I discovered the same device elsewhere in another listing and turns out the resolution is actually 1280x640. Kind of “wide screen” format. I asked the seller for the firmware to be sent to me they are not keen on giving it out to customers for whatever reason. But you are right, I’m not sure exactly what I need root for. So I’ll wait until I get the device and check back again if I decide to go through the rooting process. Appreciate the info up front!
[FYT Android Head Units] Domingez87:
Hi, i manage to root my Funrover radio. But after rooting i have some Chinese letters on main screen. Anyone know how to remove this ?

https://www.imageupload.net/image/kdf6a
[FYT Android Head Units] Rami3073:
Hi,

I had the same problem with my Joying unit a while back. You need to download and use the correct firmware update for your unit from your Supplier, in your case Funrover. Firstly making note of the MCU version from About Device in settings on your unit before the rooting process. Once you’ve obtained the correct firmware from your supplier you use the developer.zip you download from here and follow instructions from the ReadMe file to patch the specific boot.img of your system’s MCU version. Only then your root will work and the red Chinese gibberish will be gone. I assume you also don’t have audio working neither.

Hello

even when it comes to the Joying Unit, I ask if I can get help.

I have the "Kingbeats K1 Plus".

Technically, the devices are actually identical.

Unfortunately, I don't get a working "magisk_patched.img" with the "6521_1.zip" installed. The instructions in the DEVELOPER. ZIP I followed all correctly and there is a result.

However, we do not accept the result when flashing. Where could the error be or what do I do wrong? Who can help me?

As an attachment, the original files
[FYT Android Head Units] ucan2:
Unfortunately, no user responded to my call for help.

Now I have found a solution on the Internet, it works.

DOWNLOAD

Now I need a suggestion on how to make the neutered Bluetooth a full-fledged Bluetooth. With input possibility of PIN for external Bluetooth hardware. For example, for headphones.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Only after 1 day??? Man, you are impatient!

You had an error in your image. I don't know what you did, but you did not doing it according the Developer.zip, because in that case it will ONLY flash the boot image and in your case multiple partitions were flashed.

You can forget about the bluetooth. There are many posts, also by me, describing that FYT (the firmware developer) on purpose removed this from the firmware.

The only solution would be to compile an entire new firmware from the android sources, and that will not work as you need a lot of closed-source drivers for the specific hardware.
[FYT Android Head Units] ucan2:
Yes, I am impatient.;)

But the problem has now been solved. :eek:

Unfortunately, the Bluetooth problem is much more serious.

Without this function, the device is useless to me.

That's bad that no manufacturer is aware of. Joying, Teyes, Kingbeats or others,

The customer buys a device and is left in the belief that it has the full range of functions.

This is almost a scam.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes, I know. It is like that for many, many users that want to couple something else than a phone or a "FYT approved" device. They really, and on purpose, crippled the bluetooth functionality to allow only very few devices.

In Android 5 and early 6, it could be tweaked. After that not anymore. They also deliberately "blocked" the holes and gaps that allowed to work around their limitations.
[FYT Android Head Units] kpk64:

I have the same problem. How did you fix it? Thank you for your help.
[FYT Android Head Units] Domingez87:
You have to follow instruction as per readme file in development folder. Its importatnt to have your own manufacturer firmware - boot.img you neet to root from seller soft.

[FYT Android Head Units] bennyasf:
Okay, so i can still root the same way everyone else did? My radio doesn’t have buttons so how can i go to recovery and root? Or how do i flash the official joying firmware, when i connect my usb with the firmware there is no pop up to install the update
[FYT Android Head Units] bennyasf:
sorry to quote you again, almost every app i check comes back as android 10, geekbench and antutu
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I guess you mean you have a Joying compatible one, and more accurate: a FYT compatible one.

And are you sure about that? How did you check?

This is not a Joying.
[FYT Android Head Units] bennyasf:
how can i check if its joying? i assumed it was because of the intel chip it uses is the same as the other joying head units
[FYT Android Head Units] bennyasf:
Here is all the info from my device in settings
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The intel chip is used in many units. All those units also have an MCU having its own hardware and firmware. Joying uses FYT MCU firmwares and Android.

In case you want to know if it is a FYT compatible, use my HWgetinfo apk (see my signature). It will show in the screen if it has found FYT properties or not and it will deliver a zip containing a properties.txt.

Next to that: The rooting method descibed for the Joying is actually not only for the Joying, but a "universal" rooting method. This thread described the FYT (Joying) specifics.

Make sure you have a firmware backup from your reseller.
[FYT Android Head Units] bennyasf:
okay, ill upload that right now let me install the apk
[FYT Android Head Units] bennyasf:
here you go, the files in a zip
