RADIO MENU must be set as follows:

RDS - ON

RADIO CHIP NX6686 - if radio works fine don't change that, if not use other radio IC, set values from 1 -5, save , and test each time if now radio works

OTHER MENU as follows:

CAPACITIVE SCREEN - set 1

PROTECTION - DISABLE

INSTALL - ENABLE

LAST MEMORY - REMEMBER

SAVE AND RESTART device, after boot up check all settings in factory settings if applied, but do not hit save button, just close factory settings mode

Check all apps and RADIO app if working fine, report here if successfully restored

So many thanks, for everything!
[Android Head-Units] omerfarukgltkn:
Did you find this code?

I like this interface very much, my radio problem is solved too. But I will have to use different software because of the error.

If you found the code can you share it with me?

Thnx

@Anton TNT

Hi,

I got the error again that forced me to reset the device when there was nothing at the very beginning.

Do you have any suggestions for solving this? I downloaded and installed the software on your link. I entered my Google accounts and installed an app for android auto, and then this error started again. I have deleted the application vs now.

Do you know a way to get rid of this?

com.ts.mainui8 is not responding
[Android Head-Units] vacarta:
Hi all,

I am new on this forum. it's pretty interesting and hope you can help me.

I got an an android headunit 6.2" for alfa 159. it is a FF5000 based on AC8227L. I post two pictures with the data..

for one year it worked fine but recently I started freezing and losing volume control for tens of seconds. Then I get the arror "com.ts.mainUI8 is frozen do you want to clsoe it?".

I have see that someone solved changing the GPS antenna and resetting.

I wanted to try a factory reset and wipe everything restarting from the original installation. could you please help me on this?

do you suggest to replace/reinstall the com.ts.mainUI8? from where can I get it?

thansk in advance

birbo.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
com.ts.mainUi is a interface of android , process in which all installed apps are working with device and its functions. You can try to delete / erase all information on the memory - units disk by performing reset to factory default (not reset by pressing button in hole of unit but factory reset from factory settings). All information will be erased and installed again. After that configure again everything and try again with app
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
com.ts.mainUI is a interface process and it is not found at will , there was a few posts in this thread that had different com.ts.mainUI files, modified and available for download. See older posts in this thread from pages 10 to 20

Dear head-unit-geeks

Updated firmware on a ff-5000 radio by sd-card in a reader, works so far. Entered the factory settings mode in the section ,"other." There’s an entry „disable / enable install“ with tickboxes. As default value install is disabled, I wanna change it, but the head unit asks for a digit password, it’s not 8888, tried some others provided in this forum, didn’t work, any ideas.

It’s a fake android 10 rom with HMI TSKJ.C.Q.F.3.CO4.2019.12.07.08.30 . Without enabling install, Playstore only upgrades the preinstalled apps and ignores other apps. Other things are working, mcu is ts907.180712(H), Android 10, updated from 8.1 to 9, from here to 10. Wlan and bt are working, all physical buttons. too, but mcu is one for touch screens.

UPDATE: i thought the install entry was related to Playstore, it isn't. I don't know, what it is, but my problems installing my apps vanished, related by a weak internet connection.

Greetings

Hi all,

Stumbled upon this discussion when searching for problems related to my head unit. I was having problem in determining the model of my unit as it was generic china made AHU, but it's listed as FF-5000 in the list of device signed in with my google account.

It is having the following problems:

* All apps besides some google app instantly crash (no radio, music, bluetooth, etc..)

* Cannot go into the car entertainment setting as it instantly crashes

* Side buttons does not light up and does not work

* The reverse camera sometimes do not work

I've tried resetting the system using the physical reset button but it only resets the time. All other settings remain. I believe the factory reset setting is in the car entertainment setting, but I cannot go in there as it instantly crashes when I try to open it.

I am only able to get the following info:

Model: 8227L

Android version 8.1.0

Build number alps-mp-o1.mp5

Any help?
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
This seems like my early problem, faulty gps antenna, resets system. Try to remove gps antenna and connect only radio antenna and see if that works. You can buy new one on aliexpress.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
When you enter hidden menu with code 8888 there is a option there OTHER. Inside one can set up whole unit like parameters, what to take on and off etc.

But, when tapped save and reboot , device reboots and loses settings, one must tune in once again all settings.

As for android 10 all ALPS FF5000 devices are android 8 with masked upgrade to android 10. You can do nothing about it except wipe out whole ROM and make your device a brick ! Some have tried install upgraded softwares but with no luck or with errors.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
I maybe stumbled upon a solution for you today. In hidden menu when you enter code 8888 there is option "OTHER", and inside is option what resolution to set LCM TYPE : ISP 10 , ISP 9, ISP 7 (use your resolution in list I mean screen size if it is 7 inch click ISP 7, for 9inch screen click 9 etc. Reboot device and see if problem is resolved.
[Android Head-Units] ZedAlm:
Thank you! How do I get into hidden menu though?
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
In infotainment go thru the menu and find system then go inside you will see device specs MCU HMI etc. on right top is settings button press it and enter code 8888 and go inside hidden menu
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Code for mine headunit is 4567 or 5678, if not these try 1234 or 3333 or 0000
[Android Head-Units] Klotzini:
Thanks Anton, found it in a russian forum, it's 3234.
[Android Head-Units] ZedAlm:
Tried it yesterday. Changed it tp ISP7 but nothing has changed after rebooting. :(
[Android Head-Units] Shahrezan:
Hi thanks for your gud response.This file need to flash?How to flash original file? i try to upgrade my version previusly before this incident happened follow the stupid people upload from youtuber..the file was great just key in to usb then auto run..after installed i cant connect to my playstore and once my wifi have connection screen start flickering (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/flashing_headunit)
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Okay, lets try something else. Did device have any errors during install of android or upgrade? If not probably have some issue with software look similar software for your MCU unit on russian forum.

P.S. You can try also ISP 9 or 10 setting , it wouldnt do any damage to try out.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
There is a russian forum similar to this one. Enter in google alps 8227L device russian forum and try resolve yopur flickering there.
[Android Head-Units] ZedAlm:
I got no errors whatsoever during install...could you please show me which one would be more suitable for me?

Tried ISP 10 and ISP 7 but will try ISP 9 as well
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Well unfortunate.

Last resort is to try one of these updates from this site ...

https://android8227lupdates.blogspot.com/2020/04/img-httpsimages.html

Use software android version above 7 and pick correct one - device with buttons or touch only.

Procedure to autoupdate on this device is while you turn ignition key on start tapping at screen rapidly until you see detected message in left upper corner, you must let autoupdate continue until it gets installed and working again , do not turn ignition off or restart in procedure until you see aplications and welcome screen again. Then go in hidden menu (8888) and settings and make your adjustments again for all settings.

Finger crossed ... I wish you luck and hope it will work.

In the mean time I will research more of that problem for more solutions.
[Android Head-Units] ZedAlm:
Tried two of them so far and nothing. The first one gave me an error and the second one installed with no hiccups. Funny thing is when I change the ISP setting, nothings changes in terms of resolution, so I wonder whether or not it has anything to do with it.

Will continue testing the other files.

Hi,

Thanks for fast feedback. I have tried to find the factory reset option in my android menu but I cannot find it. I have watched several youtube videos that show lot of these units with factory reset as available option to but this is not the case of my unit apparently.

I have tries also several procedures using reset button and different buttons combinations but the unit does not open any menu where I can find the factory reset option.

Any help ? Any combination or secret code start have the same effect of poeer+volume down of a standard phone?

I will try some of the com.ts.mainUI prsent in this tread only if I cannot find the reset option.

Thx

Birbo
[Android Head-Units] omerfarukgltkn:
You can try there code.
[Android Head-Units] vacarta:
hi,

thanks a lot. 8888 worked for my unit. it opended a menu where I could find an option "reset all" that once clicked run the factory reset.

thye unit is now operational an no more crashes from error com.ts.mainUi. By the way, I have noticed that not all the applications where istalled: in particular iGO is missing. it is not a big problem, I can find a way to solve this problem.

what is wooring me is that I have the impression that the radio resets at every power up. Yesterday, in fact, I have recoded some FM stations but this morning they were missing. The radio seemed starting from a reset.

did someone have a similar issue? from what you know is there anything that I need to set after reset?

rgds

[Android Head-Units] JIm_stos:
Good morning,

I have a similar problem for 4 months and still can't identify the solution with my radio, that wipes everything randommly when turn off turn on.

I found that if run code 1414, before remove car key, does a proper shutdown and keep the data.

In your case I believe it is something different and simple.

I also have the same problem with recording radio stations, every first boot after radio wipes data, and, it works great.

I believe your radio will work too :)

1 - Run code 1414 - for a safe reboot

2 - Tunne in radio stations

3 - After tunne all radio stations, Turn radio off

4 - Execute code 4 - your radio will reboot and reset MCU

After reboot, you will see that radio boots and the stations are memorized.

Then tell how it went, or if you are having consecutive resets like this is happening with my radio.

hi thanks guys,

I have solved the problem with my radio. now it is working.

I have anyway noted that after the factory reset it seems that I cannot install any app except if I download it from GooglePlay. I have checked and Play protect is disabled but for some reason I cannot install apks that where installed in the radio before. they are not official obviously. some come from Aptoide ofr instance.

does anyone know a way to solve this issue?

thanks

[Android Head-Units] freeman94:
Hi. Did you solve the error message?

I own my android headunit about 1,5 year and all this time it basicly works without any major problems, till like a week ago when I started to get this crash message on my unit + additionally my bluetooth indicator on headunit just off-on / off-on all the goddamn time, basicly the radio is unsusseble, when the crash message appear the phisical buttons and touch screen just doesnt work.

Would be great if you found the solution for it.
[Android Head-Units] vacarta:
Hi, I had the same issue someweeks ago. BT on and off and Rado app crashing after installing and removing some apps . The only way I could solve the issue was with a factory reset.
[Android Head-Units] freeman94:
What did you restore?

The "Settings" factory reset, or in the hidden menu 8888 with erese all content?
[Android Head-Units] vacarta:
Yes, exaclty 8888 and then reset.

The system appcom.ts.mainui8 was crashing time to time.

Once swittched on I could not touch anytging for the first 5 min otherwise freeze and /or crash.

The factory reset u der 8888 menu solved the issue. Obviously all my apps and setting were wiped out. The only issue is that iGo was not reinstallad and I am still trying to find an iGo apk that works for my Ff5000.

But It is working fine now.

Hi,

Changing topic: does someone use HereMaps is a FF5000 2+32GB using Android 10 (fake)) ? I cannot find it in GooglePlay and all the versions that I have downloaded from other sources get back the message "the app is not installed"

Did someone found a eay to solve this issue?
[Android Head-Units] freeman94:
@vacarta

I would like to say its working fine after the reset done, no crash so far, I reinstall all my apps from PlayStore works properly, but there is another problem. After the radio reset it seems that like someone page or 2 ago notice, I cannot install manual .apk files even if its enable unknown source, it cannot install apps manually.

one wall broken another on its way :)

anwsering your question about HereMaps its one of .apk that I would like to install manually as after the redesign Here Maps with 4.x.x versions that are since like a year ago, this app is no visible in playstore, and after manual update .apk it freezes at here logo (new redesin version)

So I use the 2.X old version with new maps with worked great, but now as I mansion can't install .apk after factory reset erace
[Android Head-Units] freeman94:
UPDATE: So I did take a while a go a video of my settins in 8888 menu to backup if I break some options, and just compare what the china guys set to the factory reset one,

and it seems that one option "install" is disable and I did have it enable originally.

I think the install option disable blockes unautorized apks

But it requires password, to change to enable

again like someone before me pages said.

Would be nice to have this pass code, anyone knows?
[Android Head-Units] Mastef76:
I had the install code but I don't remember it anymore :(

It's true though, since I disabled install, it no longer crashes. Now I want to try the other updates with nicer aesthetics and graphics instead of junsen with the toy car. Will update. Let's see if we can find the code!

This is the one I like, let's hope it doesn't crash anymore.

[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Try installing this one ... 3COM.TS.MAIN_UI8
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Set MCU type = 1 , LOGO=1 , LAST MEMORY - REMEMBER , then go to menu radio and activate RDS = ON, save settings with button above on the right upper side of screen. When unit restarts as soon as you see logo reset unit with needle or something like that , pressing it in reset hole twice on boot. Then third time as unit boots up hold reset 10 sec.

When unit boots up in android go again in factory settings and confirm that settings are properly saved and test everything.

Configure all stations, icons etc. and reboot again.

(NOTE : while doing that procedures disconnect all ports like USB card and USB drives - remove any USB drives or cards from slots so unit can't read and write memory settings to that drives)

If some error occur again contact here.

[Android Head-Units] vacarta:
hi Guys,

I have one more question on programming physical button on my headunit since I'd like to change the function of a button.

In several youtube videos I have learned that going into the secret (in my unit with 8888) there is a function to program those button in an easy way. Apparently it is just matter to clear the old programming and apply a new one simply clicking on the feature you want and then the button you want to assign to it. Actually my headunit's button programming menu is slightly different from what I see in the videos but I tried anyway the same procedure and it does not work.

this is the FW and the menu of my headunit. Does anyone have the same and succeed to apply a button programming?

Hi!

Most recent update is till end of 2022 with Android 8.1 (fake 10), there is no way to upgrade to 11 or 12 for that unit , this is older unit from 2018-2019
[Android Head-Units] freeman94:
so here I go again, after fighting with the error com.ts.main UI8 error and format reset, the unit indeed worked perfectly for like maybe 10 days, till today.

Today I get into car and it freezes with this error, i don't know why is that i didnt do anything with that 10 days period, didn't even open and update play store, nothing.

I'm clueless now :(
[Android Head-Units] JIm_stos:
Hi @Anton TNT, and thanks for the help once again!! It's really not being easy to solve.

I followed the steps you indicated, I did not find the option: LAST MEMORY - REMEMBER.

So I changed MCU type = 1 , LOGO=1, RDS-ON, did the resets, tuned the radio, but after one or two times of use and normal power on/off... the radio reset and erased all data.. . on 2nd or 3rd boot

One thing I'm noticing is that sometimes, on a configuration change it doesn't save it and after next 2nd or 3rd boot, the radio resets all again...

BUT if every time I make a change and run code 4 it saves it. Then after that boot , just turn the radio off/on normally, the radio will reset and clear all information again.

BUT if you make same changes restart with code 4, and after that boot, always run code 1414... before removing the car keys for off/on, the radio saves the changes and does not clear the data every boot...

I think major problem it's definitely related to the fact that these changes aren´t stored in the radio.

This behavior i can prove it every time with same results for both steps.

If you want, can we mount the radio on a table for testing and leave the remote control too?

[Android Head-Units] vacarta:
hi, I had the same issue too!.

system freezing, volume knob without control for several minutes and then sometimes rebooting. I had to facotry reset and then for one week it was working fine but I have troubles to updated via Google Paly and then problems restarted again.

now I am at the the third factory reset in two weeks.

I am evaluating to update to a newer version and see if it solves the problem.
