Just got the update to Android 11, another 2 months after venting my frustration. There are a few things I don't like about it that Nova launcher does better, but it's actually very good and very fast, with a few surprising features. But it's nearly a year late and just before Android 12 is released. Unless they pull out all the stops to get an Android 12 based OS out within a couple of months of the official release, I'll be hankering after a custom ROM. They don't seem to care that to maintain their sales they have to engender customer loyalty, something they won't easily do if they consider them as disposable as their phones.

Just got my mi 11 ultra China Rom....installing google play store is easy etc.

But one weird thing....all my past google purchase is forgotten. Asking me to re purchase them all again. ????

Why?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
Really? That's very weird.

I suppose you logged in using your Google account that had purchased everything, right ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] eijnaix:
I suppose so...but it's not happening. LoL first time I encounter such issue.....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
Maibe check the app google play store ( and google related ) permissions ( allow everything ) .

Also check if you have the other google related services installed ( framework , play services etc ) i know that google relies on several services in order to work ok.

Will try to post on Monday if i encounter any issues on my china variant.

Cheers !
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] eijnaix:
Installed Google Service last night and pretty sure it's still asking me to repurchase before I hit the bed.....but this morning...vola !! everything back to norm, no longer ask me to repurchase.

Thanks

Do you intend to keep the Chinese firmware or flash to the global?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
So far I don't have problems with China rom. Only one small thing with notification on the rear screen ( not showing all tough enabled ) but it works in other rims so must be something from my side..

Until I encounter serios issues, will not flash anything else
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Did you run any debloat scripts or anything yet?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
absolutely nothing yet, just uninstalled several Chinese apps from the xiaomi china store app .

Will see if i have any issues in the future and consider it
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Gh5st:
Have you already tested google pay?

Some people say it is working normal with the chinese version and other say it won't work.

I am a little bit confused because of that.. 😵

maybe try global rom for android auto?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
That worked quite well! There is no Chinese search engine or vault anymore!

Is it possible to put Google now on the miui launder where the Chinese vault used to be ?(swipe left from home screen)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
For this, I suggest you need to flash global rom
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Jhonxs:
I can confirm this

I used the phone yesterday for a lot of payments with my phone using my banking app and they work flawlessly ( there are a lot of customizations for the app itself, depending on your app of course )

May I know how to install Google playstore in Mi 11 Ultra?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Go into the "getapps" store and type Google and playstore will popup
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] picitup:
I installed mine on my China ROM from here:

Google Play Store for Android - APK Download

In the USA and waiting for my S21 Ultra to show up in the mail from big daddy Samsung.com.

I'm browsing thru this: https://docs.samsungknox.com/CCMode/G998U_5G_R.pdf

I'm highlighting what I want gone when the phone gets here.

[1] Is everything on that list actually loaded onto every phone? It'd be funny if my unlocked US phone was loaded with trash from every carrier instead of just my own.

[2] What in suspicion's name is "Mobile Device Information Provider" aka "com.amazon.appmanager"?! -- Is daddy Bezos trying to grope my phone?

[3] Y'all recommend Android/Google or Samsung Messages and Android/Google or Samsung Phone app?

Thanks for checking.

Yeah, megacorps are especially dirty in the US market, so I'm just double checking.

In either case, can you share your model number and firmware number from the about phone panel?

Thanks in advance.

This is your list, from what I can gather: https://docs.samsungknox.com/CCMode/G998B_5G_R.pdf

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] snowfedie:
I just got my ATT tilt, and am new to this forum. I have been surfing around this forum and read the wiki and FAQs about flashing ROMs, unlocking etc. I don't know if I understand some of the information correctly. Here is some quick questions that puzzling me:

1. When you unlock the CID with the SuperCID program, does that unlock the SIM also? or do you need to unlock the SIM separately if you unlocked the CID?

2. For the use of service from a certain carrier, like mine is ATT right now, is it correct that only the Radio Rom version matters, while the ROM and SPL just need to be compatible with the Radio?

3. If I just want to unlock CID, and get rid of the bloatware come from ATT. can I use jockyw2001's method to unlock CID and later flash the extracted ROM , SPL and Radio back or flash the latest HTC rom and replace with the original Radio that come with my ATT tilt?

My Tilt out of box:

OS: WM 6.1 professional, 5.2.19214 (build 19214.1.0.4)

ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE (3.57.00.00 while doing camera+soft reset)

Radio: 1.65.21.18

The tri-color mode reads:

KAIS1*0

SPL-3.56.0000

CPLD-8
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kareeem:
1. No, it only unlocks the CID part (hardspl).

2. Not sure what you mean, but some radios are not compatible with certain ROMs (you'll get intermittent sound and no camera picture).

3. You can always revert back.

[Android Head-Units] JMeister234:
First attempt at something myself (following Joying instructions - so they did all the work, really)

Instructions:

- two files required (6521_1.zip and 6521update)

- copy onto an empty MicroSD card

- put into your head unit and hope it works

NO WARRANTY. I AM A VILLAGE IDIOT. I TRIED TO FLASH THE JOYING ZIP AND IT BROKE MY RADIO UNTIL I REFLASHED THE ATOTO ZIP! I COULDN'T EVEN GET ADB WORKING.

<stop> I GUARANTEE NOTHING <stop!>

What I did:

1) Patched the boot.img using Magisck (using my phone)

2) Added to the S8 Ultra zip (download from dropbox if you get into trouble)

3) Used SignApkv2.jar (Java8) to sign the zip file (avoiding locked bootloader issues)

4) Copied the updated 6521_1.zip file into Atoto's firmware unzipped MicroSD and reflashed with patched boot.img

5) Installed the Magisck v7/22.01 onto my head unit

5) Installed kali linux and su into root

Copy to your own Cloud first (for link longevity):

925.05 MB file on MEGA

mega.nz

Compatible Firmware Versions: S8 Ultra (whatever firmware came with it, there haven't been any firmware updates)

Unknown Compatibility: S8 Premium/Pro/Other (maybe?)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/901k1f3o95kamb6/Update-File-for-ATOTO-S8-GEN2.zip?dl=0

Please kindly download the attached update file to your computer, unzip the update file, open the file folder, then directly copy all the files in it to an SD card( format of FAT32 or NTFS),

connect the SD card to the radio, and there will be an update notice popping up, click the "start" to start the update. Then the car radio will do the update automatically.

The total update will take around 10 minutes.

When the update is completed, you will get a notice on the bottom of the screen, and you can just disconnect the SD card, and the radio will restart.

I go the exact HU and im about to try it - just to clear.

1) Uzip the posted file a few post files back(Update-File-for-ATOTO-S8-GEN2). This creates a folder with all the files extracted.

2) Find the boot.img and patch with Magik Manager -either with phone or HU

3) *This is where i am confused with the instructions*. Do you just overwrite boot.img in the extracted folder with the patched boot.img, then rezip? Or do you create a new file called 6315_1Update.zip with just the patched boot.img?

4) Follow instructions to signed the new .zip.

5) Copy MicroSD and take it to HU and have it autoupdate.

Just need to be clear on 3)

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] jpjob314:
Yes you need to override boot.img. No need to extract / compress, you can simply drag and drop your updated boot.img using winrar for example.

[Android Head-Units] tproulund:
I just got the same unit and so far is really happy with it, but would like to root it as I am facing a bit of an issue with really loud audio due to my car having a bose sound system. Read rooting allows to turn down the global gain

I dont have access to a rooted android device and I can't really figure out if there is another option then for patching the stock update with magisk. Would I be able to use the file you created for your unit or is it necessary to build everything from scratch per device ?
[Android Head-Units] slow66:
I'm at a bit of a lose with rooting my S8.

Using the files provided in the original thread I have patched the boot img with magisk, signed the zip and ran the update on the head unit.

Installed SuperSU and root checker

When verifying root I get the below message.

Instructions said to copy the files in the extracted directory to a sdcard formatted NTFS or FAT32. Neither of these worked. An sdcard formatted to exFAT worked perfectly. Note: Flashing the firmware erases data so you will loose all your settings. At least it did not erase the apps that I had installed.

Now hopefully I can fix the micrphone button to open Google Assistant instead of Google Voice Search, along with fixing the AC-44F5 Front Camera button to open the HDDVR app instead of the FCAM app.
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
Thanks @ChrisDos .

So nothing needs to be done to those files at all? Just download and put on a card?

Is the mic button the main reason for rooting or is there anything else you gained?
[Android Head-Units] ChrisDos:
Correct. Copy to an sdcard and go to town. I put the latest Magisk apk and just the patched boot. img in the zip file as well.

Well, the primary reason was to fix the buttons. I also wanted to be able to backup my apps , use ADB wireless, etc. All my phones and tablets are rooted and have been since the original G1 phone.
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
I absolutely get that mentality. Mine started with the HTC Farady (still have it in a drawer). While not "rooting", being able to modify it over usb was addicting.

Thanks for doing the work and making it easily available.

[Android Head-Units] ChrisDos:
Not off hand. There might be an option somewhere to rotate the screen. But it's odd that it is stuck in portrait. I've never seen my S8 even rotate to portrait. Wish I could help more.

[Android Head-Units] slow66:

[Android Head-Units] Douglas_D:
Good news! I did some digging in the Android Head Units area and others ran into similar issues. They created a config.txt file and put the following in it:

#test
ro.sf.swrotation = 90

After reflashing the firmware again, this corrected the problem.
[Android Head-Units] slow66:
Awesome to hear! Is the config.txt added to the root of the flash drive with the rest of the files?
[Android Head-Units] Douglas_D:
Yep! Just plop it in the root directory and the firmware installer will read it and use the custom config entries
[Android Head-Units] slow66:
Hi Douglas, I have been in touch with Atoto as well. They responded confirming the config.txt file contains the build.prop rotation line with several others. Attaching the entire config provided.

I'll reflash in the morning. Great job!
[Android Head-Units] Douglas_D:
Thanks for the info. What model ATOTO do you have?
[Android Head-Units] ChrisDos:
So ATOTO emailed me a link to a new version 2022-09-22 which seems to fix issue from changing the Home Launcher to something else and it reverting back to Launcher3 on it's own.

I cannot get this firmware to root though. I'm getting a signing error when trying to install it:

"lsec check update package signature error"

I went through the same steps with signing it as before using the Java utility. Not sure why it is not working this time.
[Android Head-Units] ChrisDos:
I've tried signing it under windows with Oracle Java8, under Linux with OpenJDK 8 and I keep getting the same error.

This is only my second time trying to root the ATOTO S8 and it is a different rooting process from the Nexus, Pixel, and Samsung devices. The process went so smoothly with the 2022-04-15 firmware that I thought this would be the same. Perhaps ATOTO is using a different method to sign this new firmware.

Can someone else try rooting their and let me know if it's just me.
[Android Head-Units] slow66:
Hey Chris, I could not achieve root either.

I'm amazed your screen is not rotated, mine is. Odd.

Atoto sent this updated update file. I had to use it, presume they are doing a ver check and cannot flash lower ver over.
