My version is MCU 3.0 and it still showing boot logo everytime even it is above 2.8. It come come with the head unit by default. Anyone can help?
[Android Head-Units] fani:
I would check the wiring first, the yellow wire should always have power even with car off. and Black should always be ground. (on some cars some ground wires are cpu controlled), The red has power only after ACC on. After that I would experiment with different MCUs available out there, (at own risk of course). I had 1.9 with no sleep, updated to 2.8 with sleep function, updated to 3.1, still have sleep function.

1. I do not know why you began to use the control point. The reference point is needed to restore the device.

2. USB update is safer and faster. It takes 1.5-3 minutes.

When upgrading via USB - DO NOT UPDATE PRELOADER (in fleshtool be sure to uncheck). When updating the preloader, you can get a bootloop.
[Android Head-Units] yusriyusoff97:
Thankss now my head unit is alive again
[Android Head-Units] fani:
I can't say for others, but in my case, The flashtool wouldn't see the unit as a usb device unless test points were shorted. I tried every other way to no avail.
[Android Head-Units] yusriyusoff97:
i fllash before without using test point method. I just plug in the wire to my laptop and boot up the head unit by plug in the power cable and suddenly the computer detect and flash my head unit

I'm trying to install YT9218C_00005_V004_20190522_HIFI - UI2 FLASH (Root, TWRP) (the one with XYAUTOUPG folder in it), but the upgrading doesn't start.

I've tried 3 different usb drives, with different FW, the XYAUTOUPG method never worked for me. Any tips?
[Android Head-Units] Maxkir:
On the flash drive folder XYAUTOUPG. In the folder XYAUTOUPG firmware files. USB flash drive in FAT32 format. Insert into USB1. Press reset, the firmware process will be displayed. Upon completion of the firmware at the bottom it will be written, pull out the flash drive and press reset.

During the firmware, the file system will last for a long time (about 10 minutes), as if with a hang. Just have to wait for the end of the firmware.
[Android Head-Units] lemmon:
Thanks Maxkir & Viktorsaari for your explanations...

A couple of additional questions

1.) HIFI vs no HIFI versions? Any difference or recommendation?

2.) November Equalizer vs December vs June? Any differences?

Dear friends,

localradio app is louder than other apps.

any solution for this?

[IMG="yt9218c"]https://bit.ly/2LEEJfE[/IMG]
[Android Head-Units] shiner88:
I'm doing this, really can't understand why it's not working. It boots normally every time. No flashing process.

Thank you anyway for the answer.
[Android Head-Units] Maxkir:
This option may not work if you have firmware version 9216 or 9217.

Then only the ability to flash through the program fleshtool.

Or format the USB drive using the SD Card Formatter program and try replacing the USB drive.
[Android Head-Units] shiner88:
I think i've already flashed from 9127 to 9128 using Android upgrade menu and zip file.

Also tried different USB drive and SD cart.

I'll give up and try flashtool method

RDS info? FM radio app

Anyone noticed that RDS info is shown in the Notification area and also in the Engineering mode, but not in the Radio app itself or on the home screen? Anyone know a better radio app which would show station names at least? or a radio widget for the home screen?

Chip ID: 6625

[Android Head-Units] fani:
Hi, sorry for the misunderstanding earlier. the June update is for a slightly different firmware, containing letter B instead of C. therefore it will not install on C version. I tested the memory dump for the 22 june B firmware, then upgraded to 24 june B update.

Also the process of installing firmware via XYAUTOUPG folder has not worked for my device, but I have heard it works on other's. Same is the case with installing via flashtool without test points. it doesn't work on my device.
[Android Head-Units] Igor Correa:
AUTOUPG folder

put AUTOUPG folder on fat32 flash drive

never worked on my unit.

only worked with the file (xyauto_ui2_9218C_full_8227L_demo-ota-20190522_HIFI) update on android

Already try this firmware and got error "S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054)"

What is that meaning?
[Android Head-Units] Mihaimalmazen:
Lydel forum member's problem with error 5054 has been resolved.

It consisted of the following:

- Somehow the firmware (suitable for this device) was installed via Firmware Upgrade

- The checkbox from the Preloader section was not unchecked

- At the same time, the preloader itself was NOT in the firmware

As a result, the flash drive most likely lost the preloader.

It was recommended to find firmware with a preloader, flash it via Firmware Upgrade, and then install the new firmware (which does not have a preloader) via Download, unchecking those sections that do not need to be flashed
[Android Head-Units] Mihaimalmazen:
Add to the header in the spoiler with error 5054 S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTINGS_FAIL

--

I tried a lot of things, the error was invincible.

In general, the preloader was worn out, until I found the firmware for Sp flashtool with a normal preloader, nothing was flashed, the phone only saw the computer as a COM port, otherwise it was a corpse in every sense. The backup merged from sp flashtool did not solve the problem from the write memory, and it couldn’t even be formatted It was possible. Once I flashed the preloader (I couldn’t find the firmware for the device for a long time), the smartphone came to life, let me sew a custom recovery into its belly (with the same sp flashtool), and then it’s a matter of technology..
[Android Head-Units] Mihaimalmazen:
I read the descriptions of errors in the header - there are a number of inaccuracies/redundancies.

(1003 or 0x3EB) S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL...Can occur if, for example, you have com ports disabled in the BIOS.

In "USB" mode (in which they work a little more often than always) - it cannot. Theoretically, it can occur in “UART” mode, but only if the port was first visible, it was selected in the FT settings, it was written to the INI file, after which the system was rebooted with the port disabled, and FT was immediately launched without selecting the port again .

But after the FT “quietly falls off” (when, after the red bar has passed to 100%, the operation buttons again become available for pressing, but neither an error message nor a window with a green circle appears), this error (or a similar one 1013) is guaranteed to occur. In this state, FT does not close the COM port, and attempting to restart any operation by reconnecting the device will certainly trigger this error. If FT has entered such an undefined state, you need to close it and start it again.

(4001 or 0xFA1) S_FT_DA_NO_RESPONSE) ...move the SP Flash Tool to the root of drive C:

Pointless. The meaning of the error is “no response from Download Agent”. That is, FT successfully read all the necessary files on the computer, loaded the DA module into the device, but it either did not start in the device (for example, the device processor froze), or the response message did not reach FT (for example, poor connection via the USB cable). This problem cannot have anything to do with the location of FT on the computer.

(5054 or 0x13BE) S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTINGS_FAIL) ...I solved the problem by reinstalling the drivers.

The meaning of the error is “it was not possible to obtain the device’s RAM settings.” This can happen when the Download Agent is running inside the device, or when transmitting a response packet from DA to FT. Due to the driver's fault, a transmission failure can only occur if you have XP with a service pack no higher than the second, and in this case you do not need to reinstall the drivers, but install the latest (third) service pack. In older systems, the usbser.sys driver has not been updated, so there is no point in reinstalling anything.
[Android Head-Units] komoadam:
So, where i can get the complete firmware with preloader & maybe with metazone too?

So hard to solve this brick head unit

Just follow tutorial from youtube, flashing the firmware via flashtool and connect test point

But always got error 5054

I need some power supply for the backup process?
[Android Head-Units] dodo6:
oh friend, I don't know. Maybe it depends on the board. I didn't have to power HU. And I think that if the pc detects HU, then you don't need power. Even if I used testpoint, I don't have to have power. But I have a small blue LED on the board that lights up when I connect HU to the PC. I have a yt9218DH (9260). When I revived HU, I also flashed recovery (put TWRP), I booted into recovery and made a complete backup there. Excellent thing, you don't need a PC
[Android Head-Units] tomaga84:
Hello,everyone. Im new in there but really need yours help... i looking for firmware for me HU.. i update me unit but something to do and me radio stay as black screen i hope that problem was only resolution but i turn off very early and firmware dont stop(i hope and broken it) i tried run sp flash tool a nothing going so i tried format and working fine :( but i formated boot part too... now i have brick radio E9250L_AHD_0019_V001_DSP... i need complet backup of someone who have same type of radio with preloader ... thanks
[Android Head-Units] dodo6:
is the photo the condition before you got the brick? I haven't seen this firmware yet, but I would try it if you have it. I would try 9260dsp on xyauto. there is a lot of information on the forum, but people are too lazy to search (they'll just give a new topic right away). I wrote many times, make backups or don't flash the preloader. just flash boot, vendor, system... did you search here?

https://carsoft.xygala.com/?lang=en
[Android Head-Units] tomaga84:
yes, its condition before i do brick.... i download a lot of version on xyauto but any works,,, i try 9260 with dsp, without dsp... but i have something special... im from slovakia too,,, so if have some email will be better...
[Android Head-Units] tomaga84:
And i looking exactly it in russia forum 4pda too, and found only E9270L_AHD_0019_V001_DSP special but i have E9250.... when i try update E9260 firmware we got a brick exactly too...

Nice, thanks for the info

When I connect my HA via USB on pc, the blue led only blink too fast, it doesn't stay lit and with strong lighting like I saw in a video, do you have any idea what it could be?

Do you know if it is mandatory for me to remove all cables connected to the board?

I haven't tried the testpoint yet, from the posts I've seen, I need to close a short between the points, is that right? I imagine these are the points

EDIT: I removed all cables and tried the short in these points and same, no success, the led is blinking fast and I heard some clicking sounds from the board too.

[Android Head-Units] dodo6:
is there revision 9212 on the board? (on the photo) if so, I don't know if the test point is correct. I did not remove any cables, nor did I use the power supply of the main unit. I just shorted the test point and uploaded the firmware. My LED is still on, try with/without power. if I have everything ready in spflash, I started, I shorted the testpoint, connected the usb and after recognizing the driver in Windows, I disconnected the testpoint. then it loaded the firmware. that's how it worked for me (I have a 9260dsp/9218DH dsp)

In the attachment you can find some Radio.apk i've found from different radio/rom with RDS. I don't have rooted rom yet, so i can't test them.

Let me know

I've also found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRiSlSkSuqg, the unit on the right looks like ours, so if we get the radio apk from that model, maybe we can get rds working.
[Android Head-Units] fani:

[Android Head-Units] shiner88:
I think you need to replace localradio app from /system/priv-app/ with one of those.

I suggest to start with the com.tw.radio_78cc.apk

Anyone tried and succeeded with the rooted twrp version of May2019 firmware? I couldn't make it work, it had different scatter file than mine. I get black screen. I flashed only Boot, System and Recovery.
[Android Head-Units] lemmon:
Hi this is the one I’ve got.....I installed right after I recovered the unit from a bootloop using your test point procedure....

To make it work I used the usb flash method with the folder xyupdate and once in the USB port I restarted the unit and it updated without issues .....

I have tried yesterday to update using the android upgrade OTA procedure and it did not work .... I can see the upgrade but after a few seconds the unit is restarted ..... I am not sure if the reason is because I just tried to replace the android version with the same version ( I was trying to reinstall the OS)

Yup, mine does.... you might need to flash all of them as it was rooted.... I wish we had a twrp original flashable rom so that anything wrong we can flash it back to original stock version again.

Try this. Go to the audio balance setting in the equaliser. shift the dot to each corner.

Do you notice anything odd about the sound from each speaker?
[Android Head-Units] ramnkc:
Already set that and the default volume and both media and sound at 1.... Yet still radio sound like 4 or 5....

The problem I having is... Each boot or quick boot after acc off some time, radio will load as it was last open app then my default volume is 1... Then I have to press volume up to 2 and sound actually become lower compare to 1. Then I volume down again and sound is actually lower... This is a really annoying bug... Each time I had to do that.

Thank you All :)

p.s. When click click clicking on the Android version "Android 8.1 Go" a Marshmallow appears.

Search for "ROOT TWRP" in the forum

you can find both USB and flashtool versions. (google translate is helpful)

There is always a risk of bricking the device. So I suggest you make a backup first.
[Android Head-Units] PamelaGirl:
I have been searching for "ROOT TWRP" and came across several pages thanks to google translate. I downloaded a file call:

YT9218_00005_V003_2019.04.10 - UI2 (DDR2) FLASH.rar

To my understanding I am to unrar the above file and place the content in a folder called "XYAUTOUPG" on my USB drive that is connected to the head unit.

Restart and let the install happen?

Thanks:)
[Android Head-Units] fani:
Yes. On some devices this works, on others it doesn't.

[Android Head-Units] fani:
hi. yes you can revive the unit with test point method. Read the 1st post for instructions. If you only flashed the preloader and nothing else? you only need to flash correct Boot_1 part and your original firmware should be able to boot normally..

AFAIK not out of the box. There are an android auto emulator (https://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/android-4-1-headunit-reloaded-android-t3432348) and some dongles like this one https://www.amazon.com/ATOTO-AC-CPAA48-Smartphone-Receiver-Adapter/dp/B07G154X9R

I've never tested those solution, so I can't confirm they'll work.

EDIT: just tried the android auto emulator, i'm impressed, it works very well
[Android Head-Units] fani:
There are different units out there, mine only works with the testpoint method without power, but others say they didn't need to short test points, only power on device with usb connected and its seen by spflashtool.
