[Android Head-Units] MerfDerf:
Yeah, I definitely understand about the deception. It was 2 years or so before I ran the fake test on my unit after having bought it. So, not much I could do about the matter. But if you just bought yours and determined they blatantly lied about the merchandise they sold you now is the time to act.

I’m not certain as to why he sent it to me as an APK to unpack rather than an OTA file. I hard bricked my unit a few weeks ago trying to update my firmware version from 1.69 to version 1.73.8 There were a lot of things I didn’t know at the time and I never should have tried to leap that far ahead due to the partition structure changes. Also I struggled to create a backup copy of my original firmware because I couldn’t get SP Flash tools to communicate with my unit. So I decided to try an update anyways and things got real bad real quick. I finally figured out why my unit and PC wouldn’t communicate. Despite installing MTK drivers I must not have had the most recent version. I finally got it to communicate but I didn’t have a back up copy to restore my unit.

I harassed the seller on AliExpress who sold me the unit 2.5 years ago. They put me in touch with their engineer. It took awhile to get back up and running again. Plus I had ended up inadvertently wiping away my IMEI #’s while doing some formatting via SP Flash. (I didn’t even know what I didn’t know at the time, I’ve come a long way in a short time now though) I was able to restore my dual IMEI numbers but I still had one issue with my unit. When the engineer sent me a scatter file and brushing firmware it was version 1.73.7. Everything works but my CANBUS protocol won’t select. When I got to choose my device and then car make and model I get a “save success” alert, but when I exit that screen and go back into it - it shows no Canbus selected. Doesn’t matter which options I choose it won’t stay saved in my system. So currently I do not have the AC controls on my screen or even the ability to control the air along with any of my steering wheel control functions.

Sooo I keep harassing the engineer and he sent me a new file middle of last week to try an do an update for my unit. But I got an error message stating the firmware version was older than my current version and it wouldn’t update it. I believe he sent me version 1.70. I had sent the engineer an error log that was in my Canbus folder that more or less stated I was missing the user interface. So then the engineer sent me the CANBUS.apk file to just unpack rather than using the update button. Perhaps it’s because he thought I may once again get a system warning and wouldn’t permit it? He doesn’t speak English and I don’t speak Chinese so our convos are very simplified.

After I unpacked the file and maybe a restart my CANBUS firmware went from 2.11 to 2.19. BUT my issue still remains with my layout missing and this engineer has been off since Tuesday. I’ve pulled my unit in and out of my car so many times so I could hook it up to my power supply and PC that I decided I would wait to hear back from him when he returns to work. Otherwise my plan is to pull the unit and flash it with the version 1.70 UI he sent me. It’s just a nuisance and then I’m not certain if I will have to mess around and restore my IMEI numbers once again. Which isn’t to hard once you know the process and have the program. Lots of screwing around though.

Here is the link to the website that has XYAUTO firmware. http://file.xygala.com/?lang=en

That should pull up the page in English otherwise if it’s all Chinese on the top right there will be a dropdown menu to choose English. Username: Xyauto Password: 123456

Despite selecting English most of the page will still be Chinese. I just use googles image translator from Chinese to English. You will need to select your unit model so 5760 and then look for your display size. Also make sure if you have a vertical screen you find that file instead of the horizontal and vis versa. This website is pretty barebones as they have created a new webpage and moved all the old firmware versions over to that page which requires username and password and no one on XDA knows what it is.
